Contributed by Amanda Church / Christmas in July? Not quite, but Dimin Gallery is presenting “Blizzard” in August, normally the hottest month of the year, and it is indeed a cool, stylistically diverse show of 11 artists, bringing suitably icy commentary to bear during a sultry urban summer. In such a heterogeneous group, it is hard to identify an overarching ethos or attitude, but what resonates most strongly is a shared opposition to climate-change denial or acquiescence and the obstinately backward climate policy of the current U.S. administration.

The evolution of Justine Hill
Contributed by Riad Miah / It is a pleasure to watch an artist evolve and see surprising changes, as in the case of Justine Hill with her current exhibition “Omphalos” at Dimin Gallery. Over the course of four solos, elements of her work have remained consistent. These include the cut-out shapes that jostle to fit together, and the color that complements (or contradicts) abutting forms. Hill’s earlier work has been likened to the masterful Elizabeth Murray’s. The comparison was apt enough insofar as she, like Murray, worked on irregularly shaped canvases, but it didn’t seem to go much deeper than that until now.
