What job is harder than herding cats? Why it's curating an art show, of course! And artist Josh Usmani boldly crosses over from being an artist to a curator with ease. His first curated show, Controversy  opens for one night only on Saturday, December 10th at The Zaller Gallery. Josh graciously took some time out of his busy schedule to talk about the show and the arts in Cleveland. Wall Eye:

Studio Visit is a new series where we'll learn about the spaces in which an artist creates. Whether a fun space, a sacred space, messy space, or immaculate, it's always fun (and fascinating) to peek into where an artist settles in to make a work of art.First in this series is Columbus based artist, Sharon Dorsey. Sharon's fabulously imaginative works seem to have old souls and a stories to tell.

Looking to furnish your home, office, apartment? Don't you dare go to a big box store to buy mass produced, disposable home furnishings! That was a bit harsh, wasn't it? Sorry about that. But you would feel passionate too if you saw the pieces in The Art of Artisans. Each piece is worthy of gracing a pedestal in a fine museum yet it tells you it wants to go home with you instead.

We here at Wall Eye are pretty excited for the next show, The Art of Artisans. It's the first show featuring furniture (of the functional kind) and art from craftsmen. Particularly impressive are the stained glass pieces by Peter Billington. Each piece is a testament to the harmony of craftsmanship and art through the obvious hard work involving glass to the hand painted vignettes in its panes.

Art done directly on gallery walls are amazing. They are almost always huge, spectacular, but unfortunately, are painted over to make way for the next show. In June we hosted Weapons of Mass Creation and one of the speakers and artists was Dan Christofferson who created a piece directly on one of our walls. He worked for two days and created this:I love this piece. The colors, the lines, and who
