Greene Contemporary Welcome to My Word

March 29, 2009 by ArtJetSet

Greene Contemporary show Welcome to My World, and interesting mix of artists, media, and themes. I love Andrew Junge, Pandora’s Box – a metal tool kit with neon hope. Very much enjoyed Shawn Pettersen, Disrupted Migrations; pummeling through a torn sky, 200,000 miles above the falling vishnu mountains, another failed docking mission, fabric sculpture.

Michael Raedecker at Andrea Rosen

March 26, 2009 by ArtJetSet

Michael Raedecker exhibition is titled Fix, on view at Andrea Rosen Gallery. These large paintings are accented with stitching and embroidery which give a nostalgic quality to an already airy imagery. Raedecker’s tablecloths and linens hanging on a drying line are so faint yet have such a heaviness of the drapery. Very beautiful.

Gordon Cheung at Jack Shainman

March 21, 2009 by ArtJetSet

Jack Shainman Gallery presents large paintings by London-based Gordon Cheung. These techno-coloured landscapes are stocklistings, acrylic gel and spray paint on sail cloth. Resulting in an amazing layered quality and depth. Cheung alliterates the dialogue between fantasy, history, and overlays that upon the stock list numbers elluding to the underlying tones of the current financial systems.

Jon Kessler and Ryan McGinness at Deitch

March 20, 2009 by ArtJetSet

The very lovely director Mlle Nicola Vassel gave us a brilliant tour of the current two extremly different shows at Deitch Project Soho spaces. Ryan McGinness new works are florescent technocoloured silkscreens of icons, interlaced and layered upon each other, echoing the noise of the everyday and technology. McGuinness designs his own icons, ranging from people, to calculators, to arrows, trees, etc.I especially like this green one, the 2D icons layer and grow into a very naturalistic organic feeling techno […]

Scope Fair is held at the Lincoln Center, the exterior surrounded by highrises, the interior an hommage to nature and camping.

Volta NY New Stance for Tomorow: Noam Gonick + Luis Jacob

March 5, 2009 by ArtJetSet

Volta NY art fair presented an off site performative installation in Tribeca Grand Hotel’s Sanctum, Wildflowers of Manitoba by Noam Gonick + Luis Jacob. The work is presented within a furnished geodesic dome whose projected films feature four young men living off the grid in an idealistic survivalist camp on the shores of Lake Winnipeg. The loosely scripted scenes establish a naturalist idyll seemingly removed from modernity and, like wildflowers, the male subjects are intimately tied to a seductive meadow […]

Juliana Romano at Marvelli Gallery

March 2, 2009 by ArtJetSet

Juliana Romano gave a talk at Marvelli Gallery for her first solo show. She is a painter’s painter, and uses historical paintings to navigate through the development and build up of the heavy drapery in contrast to the highly reductive facial features. I like this figuration, and am happy to see a nuanced return to portraiture with this Elizabeth Peyton-esque style.
