The third annual season of The Review Panel launched at Brooklyn Public Library with a full house on October 10th. Moderator David Cohen was joined by panelists Dennis Kardon, Lee Ann Norman, and Roberta Smith. Their discussion centered on four exhibitions: Kara Walker's show at Sikkema Jenkins & Co., Peter Saul's presentation at Mary Boone Gallery, JoAnne Carson's work at Black and White Gallery, and Chris Ofili's exhibition at David Zwirner. The event was recorded as a podcast and accompanied by introductory video presentations of the exhibitions discussed. These videos were organized into two segments: one covering Walker and Saul, and another focusing on Carson and Ofili.
