Space is the Place—Great show at Joshua Liner Gallery featuring oil on linen by Michael Kagan which showcases man’s moments of triumph over nature’s limits captured through iconic imagery as seen to the left. Also noteworthy is a cool show by Aïda Ruilova at Marlborough Chelsea featuring a 25-foot wide projection of a digitally transferred Super-16mm film, a large-scale inflatable, and a group of cut-paper collages. Cool night, check it out!
New Year, New Openings! — Time to warm up with some new art and new art openings. Great group show by guest curator Noah Becker at Berry Campbell. Across the street Penelope Umbrico (an artist best known for appropriating images found on the Internet) has a cool show at Bruce Silverstein featuring cool photos of Grand Central and over a million shots of the moon from flickr that she made screen shots from. Internetistas will be there. Check it out!
Street Art Rules!— 23rd Street will have 2 great shows this Thursday night. Faith 47 will have her solo debut at Jonathan Levine Gallery and Zevs will have a great show at DeBuck gallery. Check it out!
Sculpture and S.M.U.T.—Things are heating up again and Thursday is developing into a great line-up of shows from Joshua Liner to Jonathan Levine and every gallery in between. Kris Kuksi’s impossible fantastical and Gothic sculptures will be on display at Joshua Liner on 28th as well as Naturel’s artistic interpretation of nudie mags in a show entitled S.M.U.T. Great night, Get some.
HELL YEA!— It seems like forever since we’ve had a chance to enjoy art. The galleries are open and ready to showcase the new! Every gallery is opening on September 10th, It’s hard to pick a spot, let alone a great show. Look around, the shows are everywhere! Our picks are highlighted in yellow. Best night of the year. Show of the night is Mike Kelly at Hauser and Wirth. Check your Krypton at the door and check it out!
Summer Break Party—Check out the closing party at Mike Weiss Gallery featuring the real, super flat, yet 3D artwork of Michael Zelehoski. The work
is cool and the party will be cooler. Danziger has the Yale 2015 MFA show—a chance to see the new up and comers in the world of fine-art photography. Check it out!
Warming Up—Nice shows for this Thursday night. A couple of classic image makers on view. Consantin Brancusi, the mentor for Isamu Noguchi, has works on view at Paul Kasmin gallery and Danziger has Inge Morath and artist Saul Steinberg’s cool collaborations of bag masks that are fun and creative. Definitely worth checking out. Always for a warm festive spirit head over to the Mike Weiss gallery and check out new work by Michael Zelehoski.
Very intriguing night, a night for the curious indeed!—Cool re-appropriated
giant prints from the 1970’s Time Life volume “Library of Photography” by Matt Lipps at Danziger Gallery is visually stunning and oddly compelling. I want one! Also Paul Kasmin has a crazy retro installation that will probably be the party of the night. Tomas Sarceno is showcasing the architecture of the insect.
Bug out and check it out!
Britton Tolliver
Weird Attic
Joshua Liner Gallery
Deeply layered paint that creates a tiled effect to the visual almost as if they are little thin mints that you can eat off the canvas. Abstracted and abstracting. Check it out through March 28th 2015.
The Mean Heart of Winter!— It’s rough outside, but that doesn’t stop the heart beat of art to keep pumping. Jacob Lewis Gallery has an inaugural exhibition by How and Nosm at his new gallery. Intense works on canvas should prove to be the show stopper of the night. Stop by and check it out! Other good shows include Britton Tolliver at Joshua Liner Gallery and Haroshi wood carvings at Jonathan Levine Gallery. Stay warm out there!
