Taryn Simon

PAPERWORK AND THE WILL OF CAPITAL

Gagosian on 24th has an exhibit of the recent works of Taryn Simon, who has reduced the high tension political meetings of dignitaries down to the florist who arranged the bouquet that sat at the meeting. She strips away the context revealing the flowers that were designed for the event. One visual had no flowers, how sad. Also included in the show are flower pressings of the type of flowers presented at these events. Framing is awesome. Check it out through March 26, 2016

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!

Marcel Dzama & Raymond Pettibon

Forgetting the Hand

David Zwirner Gallery

Raymond was there in person signing zones and skateboards and other ephemera for fans. He looked so sweaty and intense as if just being there was all he could muster through force of will. His exquisite corpse work with Marcel is very personal, intimate, and of a zine quality, It really refused the wall, which is pretty cool. The paper looked like it wanted to leave the wall and crawl home into the dank, dark quiet of a basement apartment. Check this out before it blows away…

Mathew Craven

Quiet Earth

Asya Geisberg Gallery

Collage images from your old art history book with the requisite tears, tape and stains to make it feel like it was from long ago. Interesting show, super flat and very geometric. Check it out through February 20, 2016

Kim Gordon

The City is a Garden

303 Gallery

It’s always so interesting when artists dive into other reals than what you know them for. Kim Gordon from Sonic youth has a new show up at 303 Gallery, which looks very ephemeral and light and floaty, seemingly lacking any there-ness, but when you look at the crumpled up paintings on the floor, they really have a lot of graphic power and strength. These is a very interesting way of taking painting into a sculptural realm, I don’t hear the music but my eyes are glowing with happiness. Check out the show through July 24, 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. For some amazing photo-realistic paintings, check out Melodie Provenzano at the Nancy Margolis Gallery. Have a hep night!
