Painting Comes Alive....

Wendy White

Wendy White at Leo Koenig... TWO shows ago, that's how far behind I am with things I want to post.


L.A. Noir... they have a polluted rosy glow.

Like bruised Ruscha... future signposts, mystery totems, grimy negaglyphs.


Hollywoodland. Church Aurora.

Wendy is included in two current NYC shows -

Shape Language at Nicole Klagsbrun... with Joe Bradley, Blinky Palermo, and others.
I'll Let You Be In My Dreams If I Can Be In Yours, at Fredericks & Freiser... with artists including Lamar Peterson.


insets

Charlie Finch wrote that they look like they were painted with a dirty sponge that would give even Dumas pause... good one.

Out with Marty

Barnaby Whitfield, Kelli Williams, Eric Sall, Kai Vierstra.

***Art-Stars attend Wendy White's opening at Leo Koenig***

Wish I'd been a little more focused on taking photos, but I got caught up in meeting people (Krixfort!).

announcements and misc.

Wendy White opening at Leo Koenig, Friday June 2oth 6-8pm. The show runs through August 1st.


N. Elizabeth Schlatter has published a book, Museum Careers: A Practical Guide for Students and Novices.

Speaking of books... I'm enjoying Goodreads, especially as a place to find good books and to easily keep track of books I'd like to read. Not so into the Facebook applications and all the junk that comes with them.

PLUS: some photos from interesting shows seen on my last visit to nyc... wish i could post more on them, but i got overloaded -


Susan Hiller at Timothy Taylor Gallery, at the Armory - it was like a solo survey show, the whole booth was for her... I don't think I've ever seen her work before. Here are some more photos.


Dave Miko, at Wallspace - kinda liked these failed paintings made into stools.


Miriam Schapiro, at Flomenhaft - this was also a survey show... rewarding.

late

better late than never, some photos finally retrieved from my phone.... all stuff i liked from a nyc visit last fall -


Patrick Hill, Forming, at Bortolami - excellent show... maybe i can add more later.

nice installation shots here.


Lady Pink and Jenny Holzer, Tear ducts seem to be a grief provision, 1983, from I Am As You Will Be, at Cheim & Read.

More Jenny Holzer + Lady Pink images here.... and here's a good image of one. Ilona Granet did the lettering for Jenny. I'm not sure how it works credit-wise, who the "artist" is... the Cheim & Read show label said the piece was by Jenny Holzer and Lady Pink, the Monika Spruth Philomene Magers listing says they are by Holzer, with credit to Granet for the lettering and no credit to Pink. Lady Pink's paintings are AWESOME...

Jenny Holzer's flaming rocker. Jenny Holzer utilized by Jennifer Allora and Guillermo Calzadilla.


Marcel Broodthaers, Femur d'une Femme Francaise, 1965, from I Am As You Will Be, at Cheim & Read.


Wendy White, from The Show's So Nice, at Monya Rowe - like the edges...


Charles Searles, at GR N'Namdi Gallery.

Revitalized for New American Paintings, maybe

.
The recent Wendy White thread on PaintersNYC had someone asking about New American Paintings...

I've been very bad at applying for things and getting slides made since starting this blog, especially things that require slides and writing checks. This set of 2005 paintings has been viewed almost three thousand times(!), what do I need to apply to stuff for? A lot of those needs are being met right here. BUT.. that person's cautious strategizing has energized me to maybe apply again, or at least to let everybody else (Mid-Atlantic region) know about the upcoming deadline - 10/31.

Following are some artists you've probably heard of that have been featured in New American Paintings since sometime 1999, with links to their included work. There are probably more that I missed, and I'm really curious who may have been featured 1993-1999, but they don't have that old stuff on-line. All the images are from their featured work -

Laylah Ali, Tim Bavington, Astrid Bowlby, Jane Callister, Janice Caswell, Jason Coates, Elizabeth Cooper, Amy Cutler, David Deutsch, Angela Dufresne, David Dupuis, Eggo Eggebrecht, Margaret Evangeline, Franklin Evans, Joyce Kim, Mel Leipzig, D. Dominick Lombardi, Matthew Fisher, Trenton Doyle Hancock, Jim Houser, Susan Jamison, Matthew Day Jackson, Kim Mccarty, Mike Martin!, Jiha Moon, Tina Newberry, Laura Newman, Chris Norris, Michael Oatman, Danica Phelps, Bruce Pollock, Sam Prekop, Alexis Rockman, Lisa Sanditz (twice!), Anne Seidman, James Siena (twice!), Jered Sprecher (and six years ago), Ryan Steadman (twice!) Danielle Tegeder (twice!), Bradley Wester, Wayne White,

AND... last but not least...


Wendy White!! This is from six years ago. It's interesting because her statement talks about exploring new materials, and mentions starting to work with spraypaint.
