Catherine Wagner’s third collection My New Job (Fence Books 2009) is a highly structured work of experimental poetry in which we follow Wagner through both physical and poetic exercises. In the first section, “Exercises,” she writes a poem for each session of physical therapy she endures after a collarbone accident. The second section, “A Hole in the Ground,” evokes Sylvia Plath and Gertrude Stein as Wagner questions sexuality and politics with precision.
The artist Anton Gizburg is a connoisseur of stasis, forming sculptural and light-based installations that freeze a moment from history — or just as frequently, a moment of artistic conception—in time. Born in Russia and based in New York, he creatively inhabits the fertile space between the waning days of the USSR, which he witnessed growing up in St. Petersburg, and the current disarray of the Capitalist West, where he was educated (at Parsons).

Oh, the glamorous life of an independent film director! Hong Sang-soo turns the lens on himself (maybe) in Like You Know It All, an angst-ridden portrait of a critically acclaimed but otherwise little-known director’s trial and error love affairs, friendships, and mishaps. Director Koo, the slouching, perpetually befuddled protagonist, has been selected to be a judge for Jechon, Korea’s film festival—he’s more interested in the soju.
On February 19th at Galapagos Art Space, bicoastal chamber ensemble REDSHIFT gave their New York premiere of Natural Vibrations: Music Inspired by Nature, a program of music by contemporary young composers. The group was cohesive and powerful, coming off a one-week rehearsal retreat in San Francisco, culminating in performances there and in New York.
