three equal volume cast triangles, splayed at different angles... stacked... unified by a rope imprint column.


rosy insulation foam-lined interior

he makes me think of early James Wines... the architecural/social... before he started the SITE projects.

Jonah Koppel

Jonah Koppel, at Klaus Von Nichtssagend... new LES location!

three big paintings in a cool new space

These remind me of the great Philadelphia painter Warren Rohrer.

(Joe Fyfe and Dan Walsh both studied under Warren)

Jonah Koppel at Klaus. Closes 2/27.

NEXT SHOW AT KLAUS IS JOY CURTIS!

Joe Fyfe opens at James Graham 2/23.

Evidence of the Paranormal

Luca Trevisani, Weaving Constellation, 2005 - i think ideally there is supposed to be more helium in some of the balloons and it should look a little more magical, half-suspended in space...(someone from the gallery has photos on his flickr site)... they must switch the balloons and colors when they realize it's become listless.

Evidence of the Paranormal, curated by Chris Sharp, at Klaus Von Nichtssagend Gallery, CLOSES 1/10.


Marianne Viero, Room No. 18, 2007 - fool the eye. the wooden circle is so sharp and clear it's like inlay, even close... but in fact it's a photo of a table placed on a bed, poltergeist-like.

HAD to see this show to see what Chris Sharp would do... he's the guy who reviewed Joe Bradley's show and wrote "it doesn’t get much more retarded than this".

sooky
