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.
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.
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.
Criticalmiami has a relevant post. We dont have images of Sean Dack’s show; but here is one from his blog.
And then the ride home.
Today is the last day of the exhibition, Top Soil, curated by Mette Tommerup, installed at Casa Lin.
Here are some images from the opening of the exhibition, back on November 25.
Naomi Fisher and I will be on WPS1 art radio today at 2:15 pm. One can listen to the radio locally via WVUM 90.5 FM or via the internet.
This exhibition, in multiple venues, is in conjunction of the launch of the book, Miami Contemporary Artists (www.miamicontemporaryartists.com) . There are many artists in this book, somewhere around 100, I’ll venture to guess that there are at least as many in the exhibitions.
