METALLIKA

Jaime Gecker

Metallika, curated by Patrick Brennan, at Monya Rowe.


JD Walsh - didn't take a good picture of it, but he has a great video/sculpture... he took a stereo speaker, layed it flat, and made videos of things being dropped into the concave speaker... they bounce around or pulse to the bass... feathers, glitter, a chain... throbbing beauty. His white-gloved hand is visible dropping items into the speaker, it's a magic act.

Jaime Gecker in two group shows. The Gavin Brown show is up through August 7th, and the sum and all parts closes this Sunday 7/26, with a closing party Saturday night 8-12. I've been trying to post the shows that are closing today or this weekend (Hudson Franklin, Slough).

Old Gold has an interview with the sum and all parts curators Jenny Borland and Beau Rutland. Really liked the two LeRoy Stevens contributions.

PLUS: Also closing this Sat 7/24 is Jane Benson at Thierry Goldberg... definitely worth seeing if you will be visiting the LES today or tomorrow. I'll post photos later. Jaime Gecker on Old Gold. Jamie Gecker on anaba last summer in The Longest Day.

The Longest Day

.
Matthew Fisher and Jon Lutz co-organized a day of art in the park a couple Saturdays ago... called The Longest Day... it was the day after Summer Solstice.


J.D. Walsh, Barrow (Fruity Pebbles), 2008, archival ink-jet print on wood.

KIDS LOVE FRUITY PEBBLES!! Fruity Pebbles has won the hearts and minds of children everywhere... every kid in the park came to ogle this box of giant Fruity Pebbles... they could not believe it.. it's like they were wondering when it would be opened, how big would the Fruity Pebbles be, what is the prize??? They pointed and dragged parents. They tried to get on it. They basically just stood around with wide eyes and huge grins.


Jon Lutz - the man... the blog. The latest post is an artist feature/interview with Patrick Brennan, currently showing at Werkstatte.


Stacy Fisher, untitled, 2008, wood, plaster, hinges, paint

It's two pieces propped together, with a couple different possible positions. The wooden part is hinged.




The palette, plywood, lumpy white plaster, and hints of functional possibilities reminded me of the Kenji Fujita/Nancy Shaver collaboration.


Jaime Gecker, wallwork, 2008, photo laminate, latex, and spray paint on plywood, 3 parts.






FRUITY PEBBLES!!! This kid just kept looking from the box to the group and back again, with that huge smile on his face. His eyes were bugging.

Check out Jon's and Matthew's blogs for more info and photos of The Longest Day, at McCarren Park. Thanks Jon and Matt, this was a great afternoon.
