Swing State

Lisa Beck

 

Swing State, at Jane Kim Gallery... she has a new temporary spot so this is kind of a 'pop up'... really good artists and it closes 5/12.

 

Thomas Nozkowski - from 1976!... it's a recreation using original pieces, initially made during a break from painting.

 

The Lighter Side of Tom Nozkowski.

 

Joanne Greenbaum....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Tamara Gonzales - haha I see the Carrol Dunham penis guy.

 

Tamara Gonzales at Norte Maar, on anaba 3/22/2012. Fun Show.

 

Lucas Samaras! - how often do you see Lucas Samaras in these kinds of small shows??... knives and forks slathered with paint... looks like a dragonfly.

 

Joanne Greenbaum

 

Joanne Greenbaum - yes there were some other very good artists included (Lydia Dona, James Hyde, +) but I really love the GREENBAUM.

 

THIS SHOW HAD A NICE LITTLE SELECTION OF BOOKS TOO.

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.

The Jewel Thief

Stephen Dean Prayer Mill, 2007 on Richard Woods Logo no. 82, 2010.

The Jewel Thief, curated by Ian Berry and Jessica Stockholder, at the Tang.


Jessica Stockholder... it's a platform, seating area, stage... like her piece that was in Madison Square Park.

So yeah - same complaint about the Tang as always - no photography allowed. Ridiculous that the one day this Stockholder piece will ever really be used and you couldn't freely take photographs. I can see three watcher-guards in this photo.

Chery Donegan, Shake the Page, 2010 and Antibacterial Memory, 2010

Cheryl Donegan, Not In Love, 2009

The gallery is filled with art and includes a series of lined-up cubes each larger than the previous... all used for display... the first smaller ones are used as pedestals and the larger ones become walls... all together they are like very big blocks forming giant steps to where the show continues on the second floor.

LIKES - the Joan Mitchell painting near a same(?) dimension Joanne Greenbaum... wow nice pairing! reflection of the stepping blocks... really brings out all the color in the Joan Mitchell... green and purple and lots, it has a nude descending the staircase rythm, and made me need to go back and look at the Calder mobile in the atrium.... the two paintings are both hung very high and looking up at the Joanne Greenbaum you can see all the painting underneath the black.... Chris Martin... Rico Gatson... textiles... Andrew Massullo... nice Alex Brown... Jessica Jackson Hutchins with a broken white globe, so nice like a nice accident... oh yeah the James Hyde seating area with giant 'painting' very very cool so bummed i accidently deleted the photos i had of it... Patrick Chamberlain, some weird things happening in a couple... Richard Rezac yes, and he has a very good show up now at Feature.

Cary Smith has great installation shots on his Facebook if you want to see.


Tamara Gonzales PAPARAZZI!
