Kiki Smith Print

Hulbert Waldroup, an artist and gun control activist, has chosen to memorialize the victims with portraits that illustrate how they would look now if they were still alive.
Multimedia Show
"A Room Full of Art," an exhibition of work by Adam Baranello, is at the Southampton Cultural Center through Feb. 12. Mr. Baranello is a multimedia artist who creates T-shirts, music, and films in addition to large paintings and sculpture. He and his wife, Gail, are the founders of the A&G Dance Company, which is based in Hampton Bays.
Mr. Baranello's artworks combine cartoon-like images with scrawled texts that call to mind some of the work of Jean-Michel Basquiat.
Wet Conceptualism
Warren Neidich, an artist and curator with a studio in East Hampton, has joined the curator Sozita Goudouna to organize the exhibition "Wet Conceptualism," on view through Feb. 7 at the Opening Gallery in TriBeCa.
The purpose of the show is to establish a category of Conceptual Art called Wet Conceptualism, whose origins the curators link with Adrian Piper, Yoko Ono, Martha Rosler, Bas Jan Ader, and the curator Seth Seigelaub. They cite Joseph Kosuth and Lawrence Weiner as practitioners of Dry Conceptualism.
The latter, they say, is "withdrawn, restrained, and cold," while Wet Conceptualism is "hot, engaged, and vital."
This article has been modified from its original and print versions because the announcement about the exhibition at Eric Firestone Gallery arrived after the issue went to press.
