  • the whitney biennial

    I really enjoy the show; works by Leslie Hewitt, Rashawn Griffin, Amanda Ross-Ho, John Baldessari, Walead Beshty, Ellen Harvey, William Cordova, Heather Rowe, Rachel Harrison, Rita Ackerman, DJ Olive, Gardar Einarsson, Louise Lawler, Olaf Breuning, Daniel Joseph Martinez, Neighborhood Public Radio and Michael Queenland were especially memorable.

    There is plenty of blog (flickr), magazine and newpaper coverage.

  • our nyc trip

    We had a great time in New York City. It was great to see and be with family, friends (old and new) and all the nice folks moving about the city. The whitney events were fun and meeting some of the artists in the show was a bonus.

    We stayed in Greenpoint, a polish neighborhood.

  • new york city

    I was in New York City, last Wednesday, to install my work at the Whitney Museum.  The weather wasn’t too mean (38 high and 20 low).  It was uncomfortable but not untolerable.  I got to see my first snow; it was from last week’s storm.

    So, I am happy with the show.

    Tomorrow, we head to new york city for the opening of the Whitney Biennial, to see some friends and to see some art.  It should be fun.  So stay tuned.

  • Last saturday’s wynwood’n

    We went out to see William O’brien’s works at World Class Boxing. We really enjoy the sculptures, which are not just the ceramic masks; the pedestals, with their unrefined edges and details, are made by O’brien. And his drawings installation are offers complexity, playfulness and a snapshot into O’brien’s day-to-day studio activities.

    We also went to see some works at UM projects space, Snitzer, gallery Diet and 2020. We missed Dorsch.

    Here are some images.

  • internet item of the day

    So after we saw “la Science des Reves“, the director’s commentary and the extra stuff on the dvd, we made favorable remarks about the actors and the director. It was pleasant to see Gael García Bernal, since Amores Perros and Charlotte Gainsbourg, whom I have never seen act but enjoyed her music.
    Michel Gondry was especially funny and endearing. Revisit the extra footages on the dvd, it’s worth it.

    His upcoming movie is called “Be Kind Rewind“, with Jack Black, Mos Def, Danny Glover et al. The official trailer.

    Here is Michel Gondry’s trailer.
