Known mostly for her “Waterfall” paintings, which are infused with an energy generated from her interest in Western and Eastern painting and philosophy, Pat Steir reveals a far more complex history as a painter in her interview with Phong Bui.

In this conversation Sze discusses at length the evolution of her growth as an artist.

Phong Bui interviews artist Nicola López, whose wide use of a tremendous variety of media - among them intaglio, woodblock, and installation - explores notions of landscape and geography. Her work blends the cartographic with the impressionistic.

Phong Bui speaks with Dan Simon, the publisher of Seven Stories Press and a Brooklyn Rail managing and advisory board member who discusses, through wanton analogies wild and exacting, the multiple trapeze acts that the publisher must perform.
