May 29, 2009 by ArtJetSet

Berlin is a city filled with art and artists. The streets are clean and the graffiti is abundant. Tacheles – An abandoned department store that was taken over by artists it is a well known artist collective housing studios, bars, and gallery spaces. The building was bought by Fundus Group investment fund in the 90s, but to avoid conflict with the artists they leased the building back to the squatter-tenants for 10 years at $0.50 per year.

Jonathan Monk Inflated Deflated at Casey Kaplan

May 15, 2009 by ArtJetSet

The current show at Casey Kaplan I was anticipating a pop contrived show of Jeff Koons-esque work. Not only was I wrong, I was pleasantly surprised with an intimate and engaging exhibition of Jonathan Monk stainless steel sculptures of deflated rabbits paired with the hyperrealistic paintings of his art making process. Oil paintings titled Production Stills lend to a very intimate dialogue about how profoundly the artist is engaged with his body of work in creating this kind of mass […]

Yayoi Kusama at Gagosian

May 10, 2009 by ArtJetSet

Gagosian has two outstanding shows on at the moment. Picasso: Mosqueteros, a musuem quality presentation of Picasso paintings from the late years of 1963 – 1973. Yayoi Kusama, massive abstracted paintings of vibrant coloured tiny loops contrast with the installation Aftermath of Obliteration of Eternity. Also called the Infinity Room, Kusama plays with relation of the viewer within these engaging optical environments.

Berlin Private Collections

May 5, 2009 by ArtJetSet

Art critic to the New York Times Michael Kimmelman likened Berlin to a Potempkin village – a place of perpetual becoming. The city itself is in the process of making itself and remaking it self. Since most of the city was destroyed in during World War II, and the reprocussions of the Fall of the Wall and German reunification, Berlin as a city has a feeling of secret dispersed energy. There is a lot of vast empty space with no […]
