Party at Chris's House

Katherine Bradford, USA, 2009

Party at Chris's House, at Janet Kurnatowski, curated by Phong Bui. Follow-up to last year's loved and much subsequently referenced Party at Phong's House, curated by Chris Martin.

PartyTWO has less work but more artists, maybe fifty artists(?)... PartyONE had eighty-something paintings by more than thirty artists. PartyONE was a better show... more boisterous and a generally more interesting selection of work... but there is plenty of good stuff to see in PartyTWO.


KB - and i liked that astronaut on the moon-rock she made.


Loren Munk, Pollock Matrix. Loren Munk Studio.


Ron Gorchov, Lady Murasaki, 2009 - always like these.

CLOSES SUNDAY DEC 20th! Nice walk from Southfirst to Kurnatowski to Real Fine Arts.

Party at Phong's House

Peter Gallo - it says "Clifford Still".

Party at Phong's House, at Galeria Janet Kurnatowski - good show, curated by Chris Martin.

This was one of the best group shows I saw last week, along with the B. Wurtz-curated show at White Columns. Both are artist-curated medium-specific shows built around central artists... the Chris Martin (painter) show stars Ron Gorchov, the B. Wurtz (sculpture) show grounded by a Sol Lewitt.

forget who.... someone please tell me. also, can't remember this artist's name either. UPDATE: Nora Griffin (?)

The show included 80-something paintings by more than thirty artists. I first checked out all of the work thinking about what I liked most before doing it a second time with the identifying artist list... was glad to discover that two of my "crap" picks were by a kid and an elephant. I should be an art adviser.

EJ Hauser


who is this artist? i had it misattributed for a long time.

Really liked the black Matt Connors painting... but couldn't get an adequate photograph.
