Stephen Talasnik@ Battat Panorma:Monolithe Intime
Written by Eric Bolduc
Published in Ratsdeville, September 17, 2010
Dialogue entre l’architecture et les arts visuels, le travail de Stephen Talasnik s’illustre comme le résultat d’une recherche constante entre la forme, la ligne, l’espace, et leur structure propre. Se jouant de la perspective, l’artiste propose des vues panoramiques à la temporalité latente et aux points de vue divers. C’est par le rapport de force qu’il établit entre le dessin et la forme tridimensionnelle, que l’artiste plonge ainsi le spectateur dans un univers séduisant ou la finesse de la ligne, du rendu et du détail fascinent.

Stephen Talasnik : le futurisme a son maître des charpentiers
Written by Éric Clément
Published in La Presse, October 6, 2010
«Architectus, en grec, désignait le maître des charpentiers, le bâtisseur. Celui qui créait et commandait les destinées de l'espace dans la cité. Voilà un titre qui convient tout à fait à l'artiste visionnaire new-yorkais Stephen Talasnik, qui expose ses impressionnantes sculptures futuristes et ses dessins fouillés à la galerie Battat Contemporary jusqu'au 23 octobre. »

Stephen Talasnik’s carnival of perfect lines
Written by Jasmine Papillon-Smith
Published in The Concordian, October 8, 2010
« The artist's strength lies mostly in his ability to execute both drawing and sculpture with machine-like precision in a manner that is reminiscent of early Russian Constructivism. The show is a carnival of perfect lines, curves and perspectives. In fact, it almost feels like Talasnik's personal world is a carnival. His subjects are abstract representations of spokes, wheels, and gears floating in varying foggy abysses of a futuristic industrial world...»

The Fields Are Alive With the Signs of Dance
Written by Pia Catton
Published in The Wall Street Journal, October 14, 2010
This season, however, marks the venue's 50th anniversary. To celebrate the milestone, its president, John Stern, decided to show works by five sculptors who were new to Storm King—and to go a step further by commissioning a dance performance around one of those works. "We want to offer something new," he said, adding that Mr. Talasnik's sculpture was a fitting place to inaugurate dance. "This is our first temporary, site-specific sculpture of this scale." "Stream: A Folded Drawing" is a sprawling work that dominates a sizable hillside. The dance created around it incorporates both the vast forest tableau and the intimate nature of the work's interlocking poles of bamboo. Titled simply "Movements Within Stream," the two dances are entirely separate from each other, but share one element: Each employs movement that is fresh, engaging and avoids the conventions of most contemporary dance.
