Gregory Crewdson @Gagosian — Cathedral of the pines, his latest set of images to be shown took 4 years in the making and 2 years of post-production which makes for an intense image maker. This show was big, loud and crowded, everyone naked and revealing themselves to the dark nature of real life. Open through 3-15-16. Check it out!

Great show of really internety type of photo-shoppy mashable image making by Olaf Breuning. The imagery is slightly tweaked things you’ve seen before, but the way they are put together with minimal artifice is really interesting—nice timeless quality to the work. Also a very interesting spherical format that the images are contained in. They rest against flimsy wooden frames that feels fleeting like something you’d see on the internet. This guy gets it. Check it out through July 31, 2015.

Anyway there will be a fantastic shagarific show at Jonathan Levine Gallery featuring the hep cat feel of the late 1960’s painting and illustration. I’m sure everyone will be in a good mood/vibe.

Danziger Gallery has the original
photographer that was appropriated by Richard Prince. Jim Krantz’s
photographs are Iconic representations of the west and are easily
recognizable. The architect Ron Arad’s “Pressed Flower” sculptures, made up of compressed Fiat 500s in varying colors mounted on the gallery’s walls should be pretty cool to see (what can’t this guy do?). Check it out!
