Sculpture Center Long Island City – Summer show

June 28, 2009 by ArtJetSet

Sculpture Center Long Island City summer show In Practice features new works. The creepy dank basement of the Sculpture Center at once houses and compliments the artist’s works bringing a sculptural environment to these works. Michael Ashkin’s project consists of a miniaturized model of a fictional urban agglomeration at a scale of 1:128. Built entirely of found cardboard, stretching the length of the central basement tunnel at SculptureCenter the piece emulates a stretch that would extend for two miles and […]

Katrin Sigurdardottir at two concurent shows Eleven Rivington and Greenberg Van Doren Gallery

June 16, 2009 by ArtJetSet

Katrin Sigurdardottir has two concurent solo shows which explore two polar aspects of her sculptural practice. At Greenberg Van Doren Sigurdardottir has constructed serene mountainous landscapes in portable boxes and shipping crates. Conversly at 11 Rivington we are confronted by a massive plywood box, the installation housing a guard tower opposed by a two-way mirror. The infinite reflection and distance of a closed interior. 11 Rivington also featured the inverted house chandelier at NADA Miami, a gorgeous piece that harmonizes […]

Dark and Dirty in the Lower East Side

June 1, 2009 by ArtJetSet

In dialgue with New Museum’s summer show Younger Than Jesus, there are some challenging shows in the Lower East Side. Oil Now by Theo Mercier at Envoy Enterprises presents an ironic sculptural installation of found objects, cut and pasted pornography, and racial non-sequitors. I did like the fresh grave that emminated soft muffled music titled Punk is not Dead. More death, multiples and irony at Terence Koh’s Asia Song Society (charming acronym ASS) Everything Must Out Going ASS is unique […]
