art in space

John Torreano, at Feature... big mixed-bag show of Feature's painters. I liked this and the Richard Rezac.

Adrian Ting and Zach Needler, at Feature opening. Zach has a show up right now at Christopher Henry.

Patrick Brennan, at Artist's Space. It was a huge one-night only show. Packed.

Sarah Braman, at Artist's Space.

books

Martha Cooper, at Ad Hoc Art.

Martha Cooper's Going Postal. Martha Cooper is the photojournalist who published the 1984 book Subway Art... something that I had to reshelve over and over again - and subsequently spent much time looking through - when I worked at a bookstore in the early 90's. Nice interview with Martha in the Village Voice last week.

Michael Lobel's James Rosenquist: Pop Art, Politics, and History in the 1960's. I haven't seen this book yet but I'm sure it will be excellent; Michael is the art historian who curated Fugitive Artist: The Early Work of Richard Prince, 1974-1977... producing a catalogue with blank squares and written descriptions in place of the images Richard Prince refused permission to reproduce. That show was reviewed twice in the NYTimes, by both Roberta Smith and Benjamin Genocchio. Michael also wrote the recommended Image Duplicator: Roy Lichtenstein and the Emergence of Pop Art.

Here is a Richard Prince work from 1971, pre-dating even all of the disavowed stuff from Fugitive Artist. 

Diane Schenker's book of poetry Relation/Couch/Dreaming.... pre-order here.

The cover illustration is a drawing by the late Morris Yarowsky, a 1966 piece given to Diane's husband when they were both at the University of Oregon.

Daniel Hesidence

Daniel Hesidence, ROSE LAUGHTER winter holiday, curated by David Altmejd, at Andrea Rosen (in the middle room).

This is the second all-red/rose show by a (former?)-Feature artist seen this winter...  Jason Fox is at Peter Blum through March 7th.


This show is more interesting than the show he had at Feature in November.

Luca Buvoli

ramp.




So much better than Cai's flying Taurus' and lunging wolves... I would love to see Luca Buvoli in the Guggenheim.

Fernando Mastrangelo

Fernando Mastrangelo, "Love is a Smoke Made with the Fume of Sighs...", at KUMUKUMU.


The floor was crunchy with sugar, bits of broken glass, and charcoal.

27th Street Galleries

Jonathan Delachaux, at Foxy Production, with Lizzie Fitch.... through 3/21.

Good pairing. Read more on artloversnewyork.

Lizzie Fitch, at Foxy Production.


Justin Samson, Inside the Cosmic Motion Projector, at John Connelly... through 2/21. Feels like a low-budget retro sci-fi movie lab... everything is made from everday items.... lampshades, bookracks, food containers. More photos here.

This is the second show I've seen referencing the Large Hadron Collider.... Diana's was at Perry Rubinstein.... Diana was featured in a recent Artnews as an "Artist to Watch".


Peter Caine, at Derek Eller... through 2/21. Freaky animatronics. I made a video that will get uploaded and linked to eventually. James Kalm on Peter Caine at Jack the Pelican, for the Brooklyn Rail.


Joy Garnett, at Winkleman Gallery... through 2/21.

Dona Nelson

Dona Nelson, Night Studio, 2008, at Thomas Erben.

PS - i am posting from a laptop given to me by Elizabeth Riley!!! it's an old one and has some quirks - i can check and read all my e-mails but i can't delete or send any... i can comment on blogs and make new blog posts but i can't make any links, make text bold or italicize, or edit previous posts... i can get all my photos from my camera to flickr... i can do facebook and pretty much read whatever on the internet. so anyways, if you are sending an e-mail thanks i got it but i can't respond from this computer (yet).
