Redux Gets a Fresh Injection From New Director, Studio Spacenew
Redux is breathing. It's not just the gallery installation by Liz Miller that greets you at the door, a delicate, yet somehow aggressive creation of felt, foam, and paper that resembles fire-breathing dragons. It's more to do with the children running to their painting class, with the art that is everywhere, and the artists who are calmly going about their daily work of creation. Redux just might be the heart and heartbeat of Charleston's living art scene, and you can feel it as soon as you step through the door.

Conspiracy Theater in Anonymousnew
Anonymous is a hoot for literate moviegoers, a treat for theater geeks, a rag on backstage egotists, and an alternate version of the Elizabethan Age. But I seriously doubt that it is history.
