...and of course there is one of those posts that got me on the shit lists way before any of the whatever shit lists i am on now.
Alison Fox - my mom said she was looking at this and thinking 'waterfall', later looked at the list and saw the title - Waterfall.
NEXT few posts are gonna be current John Davis shows. Alison Fox is in the main space but there are good shows in the carriage house.
RELATED - Joanne Mattera on Louise Fishman and Brenda Goodman at John Davis Gallery.
these are full of knowing "bad" moves {muddy, sure, but also a certain consistency in the size of the stroke and a really aggressive refusal to crispify edges) but it ends up looking good, surprising, rewarding and not cynical. its like the anti-josh smith in that I get the sense that each move matters.
