Interviews - Curated By Daniel Rolnik The world's most adorable art critic, Daniel Rolnik, has hand-selected paintings, sculptures, and photographs by contemporary artists to display at CURIO in Venice Beach. Works enchanted with humor, intellect, wit, wisdom, and sex will all bout heads in the stunning rough luxe interior of the gallery founded by acclaimed artist Anne Faith Nicholls. And all those brave enough to bear witness will bathe in the sweet reward of their journey, like Dionysus upon a calm sea of grapes. In March of this year, Daniel was cited in Angeleno Magazine as a member of LA's Top Twitterati due to his excellent interviews with artists and articles on art. He's been published in newspapers such as LA Weekly and The Jewish Journal as well as popular blogs like Beautiful/Decay, FecalFace, ForYourArt, and A&O. In addition, he was also one of the few official corespondents during the monumental Pacific Standard Time event that took over Southern California's art scene. Featuring the art of Joshua Petker, Jim Mahfood, Ellen Schinderman, Will Deutsch, Ryan McIntosh, Mark Hanauer, Septerhed, Jennie Cotterill, Rebecca Manson, Jesse Hazelip, Robert Fontenot, Alex Andre, Lena Verderano, Reynoso Matt, Reynoso, Isabelle Alford-Lago, Scott Belcastro, XVALA, Josh Atlas, Orson Oblowitz, Gregory Siff, America Martin, Michelle Devereux, Luis Arevalo and more. Daniel says: "The show features works by artists I've interviewed over the last year, ranging from sculptures, to dioramas, to drawings, to paintings, and everything in-between, round the bend, and outside. It mimics life, since not all of the artists are from the same background or age group or anything like that. They're individuals who I felt some kind of psychic connection to, which drew me into what they were doing with their creative spirits. So, some of the artists literally have their BFA's from universities like Carnegie Melon and mfa's from UCLA, while others never went to a day of art school in their life. For me, this show is more about the story of each individual, than the story tying the whole thing together. For example, Jennie Cotterill's piece is a small section of a much larger body of work named The Museum of Procrastination that features a complete audio tour adventure story and the works on paper by Adam Roth [not attached] are snapshots of a rich galactic universe he's created in order to deal with his internal struggles and ordeals with surgery starting from a very young age. I could go into detail about every work in the show! I love each one!!! YAY!!!!"
