We visited SPRING/BREAK Art Show in its new location in lower Manhattan on Varick St. We went independently, and then got together afterward to discuss our impressions of the fair, and the highlights we came away with. We have ruminated on possible trends and strong impressions that stayed with us long after the fair. Even though it has been almost a month past Spring Break Art Fair, the highlights resonated with us.

Artists on Coping: Levan Mindiashvili

During the Coronavirus pandemic, Art Spiel is reaching out to artists to learn how they are coping.

Levan Mindiashvili, Self-Portrait in “Study of The Large Glass (M.D.)” 2019, hand-painted liquid mirror on glass mounted on steel frame, 14” x 12.” From the series “Plates for Decolonized Art History,” 2019 – .

Levan Mindiashvili is a Georgian born, Brooklyn based visual artist. He creates immersive modular installations that deal with fluidity as a current state of being and explores the shifting conditions of canonical truths regarding identity, language, and history. He is interested in expanding possibilities of contemporary cultural production, and by juxtaposing traditional art-making with social practices such as dinners and raves, his goal is to expand the outreach and create more inclusive experiences.
