Paige K. Bradley • CULTURED

This week, the Critics' Table went for breadth—covering as much ground as possible—but got depth, too, from a lineup of the city's most astute gallery-hoppers.

 

Dorothea Rockburne, “Time Measures Itself”

David Nolan Gallery | 24 East 81st Street
Through April 18

I once heard Dorothea Rockburne say, “Art is language, don’t make it do”; this gathering of works, past and present—she is 96—centers on the perception of material and form, as if to also say “now is all we have,” and even the scent her materials throw off keeps me grounded.—Paige K. Bradley
