The Dependent

Tamara Gonzales, with James Fuentes.

The Dependent Art Fair, the one-day art fair at the Comfort Inn.

Each of these three artists has a current show up... all good... I will post photos soon: Tamara Gonzalez at Norte Maar, Michael Mahalchick at Canada, Dave Hardy at Regina Rex.


1-Day Bed-In.

Michael Mahalchick and Debbie Tuch, with Canada. I youtubed it.


Dave Hardy, with Regina Rex.

A sculpture on each bed... the palette matched the room, balanced on glass(?), the foam was hardened somehow... I went to Regina Rex the next day these were so good.

Gary Snyder Gallery

Sven Lukin, Tucson, 1966

Gary Snyder Gallery, at Armory Show... in the Modern section... great booth. I liked it so much I later went to the gallery in Chelsea and saw a good Max Gimblett show.


Thomas Downing - ah okay, I am looking at my previous Armory posts and seeing I have featured this gallery before... Thomas Downing, at Armory w/Gary Snyder, 2009.

Ron Johnson??? Waht! Totally unexpected nice surprise. One of my favorite RVA artists.

Ron Johnson, on anaba, 8/4/07

George Sugarman - loved his double-show at Washburn a couple years ago... he is now represented by Gary Snyder.

Sven Lukin - this is the artist with the super-cool Logan's Run piece in the fantastic Empire State Plaza collection.

(+ Gary Snyder represents Al Loving... another favorite)

Armory Show 2012

Nicole Eisenman, at Susanne Vielmetter.

The Armory Show, 2012 - pretty much a dud this year. All the good galleries I am used to seeing are waiting for Frieze week. There were a lot of 'filler' galleries, making the Armory nothing special and definitely not cool.

BUT here are some highlights!


Thomas Ovlisen, at V1 Gallery. They are reversible and up-endable... it's OK to pick them up and turn them around.

This was part of the Nordic section, but he shows in NYC with Klaus von Nichtssagend... his show Tomato just closed... I have some fun pics on my flickr.


Arlene Shechet, at Jack Shainman, being visited by Glenn Lowry.


Bjarne Melgaard - the Armory was so lame I am showing a sofa...

(this was actually a very good all-Melgaard booth)


Eric Doeringer

- I didn't take any photos but the Tony Matelli mirrors with Leo Koenig were good.

Dona Nelson

Morpheous, 2009
