Wojciech Gilewicz is a Polish painter and photographer based in New York. ‘In Practice’ documents a series of oil paintings installed in the neighborhood around the SculptureCenter building. The surfaces and forms of the canvases are designed to make them appear completely invisible while they are on site. Gilewicz is primarily interested in challenging viewers’ perception of space, reality, and their surroundings. 
Robert Gardner visits the great American painter Mark Tobey in Basel, Switzerland, where he lived for the last years of his life. Tobey was together with Jackson Pollock and Mark Rothko a leading figure in the American Abstract Expressionism movement. With remarkable candor and objectivity, Tobey discusses his work and that of fellow artists including Picasso. His keen wit lends humor and bite to his critiques, and his own vitality and spirit make an important statement on his work and on Art itself.
