On Friday, painter Julie Speed had her exhibition "Bible Stories" at the Gerald Peters Gallery reviewed by Grace Glueck. "Lovable this imagery isn't," the writer noted, "but it grows on you, largely because Ms. Speed's grasp of it is firm and her technical mastery impressive."
Following a Sunday profile of choreographer Deborah Hay ("A Mad Scientist of Dance Plays in the Lab," Jan. 22), John Rockwell assessed her latest dance, O,O, in Saturday's edition. "It made for a fascinating hour," he wrote. "There is a continual tension here, a flow from stasis to liquid intertwining to comedy, and from pervasive silence to the eerie choral sound of the dancers' vocalizations. What it has to do with circles and cells, I know not. But it has a beauty born of this special tension between spontaneity and intention."
