Whitney Biennial 2010

March 28, 2010 by ArtJetSet

This year is the 75th edition of the Whitney Biennials. This year the show is simply titled 2010 – as opposed to traditional thematics based on cultural issues or politics, this year’s theme is centered around contemporary art production. An undercurrent seemingly – images procured from the internet or youtube, bizzare incongruent performative video, and surprisingly modest and thoughtly beautiful pen and ink drawings. Highlights of works that I really enjoyed: Storm Tharp builds his strange and beautiful characters by […]

Bravo Shaq!! Robert Therrien (Table and 6 Chairs), Maurizio Cattelan’s Untitled Elevators Richard Phillips, Lisa Yuskavage, Don Brown, Other featured artists included […]

MassMoca

March 22, 2010 by ArtJetSet

MassMoca, the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art is an amazing and massive space. Iñigo Manglano-Ovalle’s project Gravity Is a Force to be Reckoned With, based on Mies van der Rohe’s 50×50 House project.The entire space is inverted, suspended from the ceiling… except a coffee cup and saucer which has come crashing down from the table. The phone rings and a narrative is played from within the glass house. A frustrated couple trying to sort out the story. Guy Ben-Ner: Thursday […]

Mass MoCA

March 18, 2010 by ArtJetSet

MassMoca, located in North Adams Massachusetts, opened in 1999 hosting monumental works and performances. Natalie Jeremijenko: Tree Logic – Tree Logic, the art of the piece is not found in its condition at any single point in time, but in the change of the trees over time. Trees are dynamic natural systems, and Tree Logic reveals this dynamism. The familiar, almost iconic shape of the tree in nature is the result of gravitropic and phototropic responses: the tree grows away […]

ArtJetSetters

March 8, 2010 by ArtJetSet

ArtJetSet would like to collaborate with Sameer on developing an app that tracks him through the best art openings in the city. I seem to have bumped into Sameer at nearly every art event I’ve been to in the past few months…. it’s foursquare without the GPS. Here at the Artforum Independent Party in front of the giant inflatable union workers rat, I promised a dedicated post to a dedicated vernissage connoisseur.

Fountain Art Fair

March 7, 2010 by ArtJetSet

The Fountain Art Fair was held at the Frying Pan on boat off 26th street Pier 66. Fountain brands itself as an exhibition of avant garde artwork, it is really more akin to outsider art. Loved Raphael Denis Tower of Babel giant installation paired with the preliminary sculpture. Photos, assemblage piece by Nikki Johnson, stunning piece by Nicholas Forker, The chaotic atmosphere, the weird smell, and the dizzying swaying of the boat did impede the interesting variety of galleries: […]

Stefan Bruggemann Headlines & Last Line in the Movies at Yvon Lambert

March 2, 2010 by ArtJetSet

ArtJetSet has been a long time fan of Yvon Lambert, after the many Parisian afternoons spent in his gallery. Current show running in tandem with Joan Jonas Reading Dante III, is Stefan Bruggemann installation which covers the walls with mirrored panels. On the mirrors the artist has painted final dialogue of dramatic films. The text is brief, sharp, poignant and affectionate.

Mike Nelson’s Quiver of Arrows

March 1, 2010 by ArtJetSet

The current installation at 303 Gallery is Mike Nelson’s Quiver of Arrows.Nelson conjoined four vintage mobile home trailers forming a dilapidated vacantly inhabited space. Walking through the interconnected spaces feels part somewhere between the Black Acid Co-Op at Deitch Project, is a collaborative project by Justin Lowe and Jonah Freeman and a vacant refugee housing of the future’s past. The title is gorgeously poetic.
