Acclaimed Artist Mitchell Rasor Speaks at the 2026 New Jersey International Film Festival on June 5!

by Al Nigrin
published 2026-06-03

The 2026 New Jersey Film Festival is proud to present a lecture by acclaimed Landscape Architect and Artist Mitchell Rasor in conjunction with a screening of Tom Bell's short documentary film about Rasor entitled Salt Marsh.  This talk contextualizes Mitchell Rasor's work in the context of Robert Smithson's interest in dialectics, Olmsted's park designs, the relationship between Cezanne and Pissaro and the birth of modern art, post-punk rock, his education at Oberlin and Harvard...and then ends with three recent series of drawings and paintings done this past winter as an extension of the work depicted in Tom Bell's Salt March film. The talk would be of great interest to students of environmental studies, art, art history, landscape architecture, and film.

"She's Like the Wind"

by Tris McCall
published 2026-04-29

The first thing you'll see upon entering the gallery at Deep Space (77 Cornelison St.) is the shadow-outline of a woman's leg. There it is, on a chartreuse background, sticking straight up in the air with a curvaceous bare foot inches from the ceiling. That's all of the subject of "Lemon Lime Toe of God" that the oil painter Delilah Ray Miske is willing to show us. The rest of the body, she implies, is splayed out on a bed. We know it's summer because the window is closed and the air conditioner is plugged in. There's a pretty good chance that the possessor of the leg is undressed. In one hand, she holds a cellphone, and she might be broadcasting something. On the wall, a small whip-like broomstick hangs. It could be the ride of a tiny witch. It could be the professional tool of a dominatrix.



Winifred McNeill: "Between Air and Earth"

Any good cook will tell you that reducing something doesn't always mean diminishing it. Sometimes it's the best way to intensify its personality. Size, we've learned in the era of streaming entertainment on tiny phone screens, does not determine how clearly a thing communicates. If it fills our senses, it can slip right into our bloodstream.

Steve Datz: "The Consistency of Inconsistency"

by Tris McCall
published 2026-03-25

Steve Datz will put you in mind of Jackson Pollock. Maybe he hates that comparison, and maybe he's happy to own the influence; either way, it's tough to ignore. Many of his paintings feature multicolored drip-squiggles on long, horizontal canvases. If they never quite achieve the intensity of Pollock's plasma storms, they feel similarly kinetic, and similarly electrified. Pollock's paintings are often suggestive of the firing neural network of a deep thinker. Datz's synapses in paint are not quite as dense, and not quite as tormented.



"The 16th" & "Handle With Care"

by Tris McCall

No nation has seen an uglier side of the Atomic Age than Japan. Hiroshima and Nagasaki remain the only cities devastated by nuclear bombs. After surrendering to the splitters of the nucleus, the Japanese promised never to rearm until the bombers (us) gave the okay. Fidelity to that pledge didn't save them from another atomic megadisaster: the core meltdown at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear reactor in 2011. Fifteen years later the contamination — and humiliation — remains. If a Japanese person should decline to hear a lecture about the miracle of the split atom, it's not hard to understand why.



Scipione & Goldberg: "Gesture and Grid"

by Tris McCall
published 2026-03-04

Even sober Biblical scholars often call Ezekiel mad. He is the Prophet with the flimsiest tether to material reality. The Book of Ezekiel contains many wild visions that, millennia after their composition, retain the power to startle. His images of the Divine are often downright terrifying. Much of his narrative reads like an extended hallucination.



"Home Here"

by Tris McCall
published 2026-02-25

There is never a good time to learn that your town is facing a budget shortfall of a quarter billion dollars. But getting the bad news in the winter of 2026 is particularly dispiriting. Jersey City has very little latitude for error. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has been operating on these streets. As we've seen our neighbors taken away in unmarked cars, we know we're looking at the possibility of a long, combative summer. Pushing back against a force as overwhelming as the federal government is going to require more than coordination and compassion. We're going to need resources. And the town, as JCAST curator Atim Oton warned us before Studio Tour 2025, is broke.
