Ilit Azoulay in The New Yorker
Goings on About Town: Art
March 29, 2013
The Israeli artist creates meticulously detailed imaginary environments by combining pictures that she’s taken inside buildings slated for demolition with photographs of materials salvaged from the sites. In the extraordinary four-part panorama “Room #8,” which is more than thirty-two feet long, she arranged the objects and images along a white stucco wall, as if for a museum display. Although certain elements (a curtained window, a potted plant) look unremarkable, others are clearly out of scale; an enormous shard of rock looks monumental near a constellation of metal fragments. Three additional pictures open up Azoulay’s space into something that resembles Kurt Schwitters’s marvelous Merzbau.

The Daily Pic: Andy Freeberg
February 9, 2013
Freeberg's Kuzma Petrov-Vodkin’s Bathing of a Red Horse, State Tretyakov Gallery is the Daily Pic in The Daily Beast!
Blake Gopnik says, "Even when Freeberg finds women whose look rhymes with their charges, or – as here – where contrast is the point, what strikes me most is the size of the gap between lived life and the worlds found in art."

Andy Freeberg's Guardians in Slate
The Art of Guarding Art: Russia’s Lady Museum Guards
February 8, 2013
Freeberg in Slate:
“I was fascinated by how these women made the museum experience richer and more interesting. You can make up stories about their connection to the art they were sitting by. That is also what continues to hold my interest in the gallery world—how people interact and choose the art that surrounds them. It seems to be a universal human trait.”
