First Impressions, Second Thoughts
Consume - at Flashpoint
"A five-person group show on view now at Flashpoint opens with the most familiar of all museum installations: the gift shop. Rows of T-shirts, candies, cookies and greeting cards, all either emblazoned with the show's title -- "Consume" -- or with images produced by its artists, are on sale."

Mapping the Alternative - 20th ANNUAL CRITICS' RESIDENCY PROGRAM
(excerpts from original catalog)
"The delicate balance of memory and disintegration also provides a theme for sculptor and installation artist
Jessie Lehson, whose medium of choice is dirt. Lehson collects dirt. She has a "dirt room" where she stores
buckets and buckets of the dirt she has received or "stolen" from around the world."

MAP engages dialogue about contemporary art
Life used to be simple. A map was this cumbersome paper explosion that had a Rubik's Cube
