Not at all what I was expecting, this show did not include a film but an installation-like experience with a couple of sculptures and a number of black and white watercolor works that left me breathless. With subjects of settings (both interior and exterior spaces) devoid of people, there is a haunting quality to the [...]
“Everybody Knows this is Nowhere” is the name of the show that just ended at Team Gallery. I was lucky enough to hear the artist speak about his work. Both large color and smaller black and white photographs were on view. I was immediately drawn to the small portraits of young people in their teens [...]

This show, the non-establishment alternative to the Whitney Biennial, organized by Vito Schnabel, and housed in a space on loan from Aby Rosen has some heavy hitters: David Salle, Julian Schnabel, Dan Colen, George Condo mixed in with emerging artists. Some good stuff on view:
Dan Colen’s easily identifiable canvas.
Nicole Stone’s tripartite work has repetition of text on the [...]
With the Armory fast approaching I needed to get out to see some shows since this upcoming week of fairs will monopolize my time.
A sampling of what is on view:
“Flooded McDonald’s” at Peter Blum is an exhibition including three videos: Burning Car (2008), The Financial Crisis (I-IV) (2009) and Flooded McDonald’s (2009) by the Danish [...]
“End of an Era” is a show of works by Damien Hirst at Gagosian Gallery on Madison Avenue (on view through March 6th); it highlights recent paintings of jewels done by Hirst as well as a “blinged out” gold-plated shelf lined with fake diamonds entitled Judgment Day (a la his Pharmacy series in which did [...]
So after a brief hiatus (sorry I have been lacking on posts recently), I managed to get out gallery hopping on Saturday and wanted to share some highlights.
Danese currently has a wonderful show up until February 6th of works on paper by some artists in their stable as well as big names like Richard Serra [...]
On view until the middle of February, Omer Fast has videos on view at both the Whitney and at Postmasters Gallery in Chelsea. A name that should be familiar to my regular readers, Omer Fast’s work befuddles me yet somehow I am transfixed. I stayed for the whole 32 minutes and 48 seconds of “Nostalgia [...]
RUBELL
Baldessari, Rubell Collection, “Beg Borrow and Steal”
It was my first visit to the Rubell Collection and I was not disappointed. The exhibition Beg, Borrow and Steal was inspired by conversations that the Rubell family had with the artists Walker and Guyton about artists who use appropriation as a key element in creating their own unique [...]
Gearing up before my trek to Miami I tried to fit in as many gallery visits as was humanly possible. Some highlights are below.
First of all, if you get the chance you should definitely see Sarah Morris’s film “Beijing” at Friedrich Petzel Gallery. Clocking in at 86 minutes (I saw a little over an hour), [...]
