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

Sonic Youth’s Kim Gordon—It’s amazing how many artists move so fluidly between disciplines, able to create art in art galleries, music on stage, films, etc. Kim Gordon is another fine example of this genre. Check out her show at the eponymous 303 gallery. Steel sculptures and large photo collages by Olaf Breuning dominate Metro pictures gallery on 24th. Well worth checking out. Have a great night!
