I am very grateful to have been chosen as one of the judges to jury for Ki Smith Gallery’s Critics Choice exhibition. With over 300 submissions, it was a challenging process to choose among such a robust and diverse selection of artists. In the end, it came down to 24 artists picked between me and the six other judges with whom I had the great privilege of collaborating. Additionally, each judge had a sole artist that they championed for a feature in their respective publication. For me, I picked Danit Weitzman, an artist based in Miami, Florida whose work looks to the intersections of art & technology (she is the person you see at the beginning of the reel followed by a close-up of her work). The Critics Choice Exhibition at Ki Smith is on view through September 6, 2026 on the Lower East Side! Please come and see the phenomenal art submitted by Arnold Aladhami, Andrius Alvarez-Backus, Alejandro Aguilar Canela, Ellen Carey, Angelique de Castro, Markus Denil, Jolie Dufrane, Anne Finkelstein, Isabelle Gotuaco, David Henderson, Yichen Ji, Drew Klausner, Sono Kuwayama, Valeri Larko, Jennifer McCandless, James Nazz, Steven Rahbany, Eliza Rinn, Malik Roberts, Tiffany Satterly, Roman Szolkowski, Kate Teale, Danit Weitzman, Robert Zumwaltz. Bravo to my fellow judges for their excellent work: Bob Krasner, Jackie Andres, Vittoria Benzine, Keith Estiler, Jo Rosenthal, Matilda Lin Berke! And thank you to Ki for inviting me to be one of the jurors! #juriedexhibition #nycart #nycartists #criticschoice #artcritic

LAST WEEKEND FOR Blind Date: a Group Show with Matched Strangers February 6 – March 1, 2026 Hours: Saturdays & Sundays, 2–6 PM DON'T MISS OUT! Blind Date  operates as an experiment in compatibility, testing the possibilities of unexpected chemistry, missed signals, and the strange intimacies that might emerge when one artwork is introduced to another. What may unfold is not a single narrative but a triangulated one: tender, irreverent, and full of surprises. Whether the pairings result in love, chaos, or something beautifully unresolved remains an open question. Visitors are invited to enter the experiment, follow the threads, and see what takes hold. Swipe right to visit the show.

Blind Date: a Group Show with Matched Strangers February 6 – March 1, 2026 Opening Reception: Friday, February 6, 6–9 PM Hours: Saturdays & Sundays, 2–6 PM Profile: BBy (he/they), self-described “party starter,” arrives with an ego-forward, shimmering persona masking the uneasy edges of performance culture. His work revels in nightlife fantasies; it is hyper-glamorous, frenetic, and addictive, while exposing the fragile architectures that hold him up. Behind the mirror sheen is a desire for visibility, connection, and escape.  BBy’s responses to the other artists toggle between seduction and deflection, humor and confession. (Artist: Boi Boy) Profile: Memories of Masculinity (he/him/bro), brings a posture of swaggering authority that unravels on closer inspection. His sculptural presence slumps under the weight of nostalgia, discipline, and learned hardness. The work carries the scent of synthetic citrus and regret, folding humor into a critique of power, performance, and the brittle shell of the “alpha” myth. His exchanges reveal a longing to be held without being repaired, and a persistent ache beneath the bravado. (Artist: Markus Denil) Profile: Smoked Whitefish (they/them), offers a counterpoint of warmth, community, and exuberance in an ensemble-minded practice rooted in gathering, repetition, pattern, and humor. Their work tilts between celebration and melancholy, weaving together tessellation, food, friendship, and shared time. Their profile is earnest, open, lightly chaotic, and responds to the others with curiosity and generosity, folding their own multiplicity into the evolving conversation. (Artist: Leslie Friedman)
