David Altmejd at Art Gallery of Ontario

May 24, 2010 by ArtJetSet

This spectacular David Altmejd installation was featured for Canada at the 2007 Venice Biennale. The assembled spaces are a mix of mirrors, organic and man-made found objects, building towards what Altmejd calls “narative potential” Kelly Richardson is another young emerging Canadian artist working in the theme of man vs. nature technology in her video installation. ArtJetSet saw this piece at Birch Libralato a few years ago, and it was very happy to revisit it at the AGO.

Anna Gaskell at Yvon Lambert

May 16, 2010 by ArtJetSet

Known for her eerie saturated colour portraits of Alice in Wonderland styled young girls, Anna Gaskell’s new show at Yvon Lambert show a strong maturation in a new direction. Monochrome photos of boys in winter landscape, with their heads and faces cropped or obscured, clothed in oversized suits creating a tense narrative of religious ritual and disaffection.

Shepard Fairey Mural

May 14, 2010 by ArtJetSet

Up went Shepard Fairey’s MayDay mural over the Os Gemeos. Apparently causing much noise amongst local grafitti artists, who have tagged up the Fairey. ArtJetSet heard a very interesting criticism about Jeffrey Deitch’s final New York gallery show featuring Fairey’s works on paper, and including this mural. As Luhring Augustine celebrated their 25th aniversairy with an amazing group show celebrating the artists that they represent…. Deitch should have done the same, instead of this highly criticized Fairey show.

Christian Boltanski No Man’s Land at Park Avenue Armory

May 13, 2010 by ArtJetSet

Christian Boltanski’s No Man’s Land fills the interior of the Park Avenue Armory with thousands of pieces of used clothing, and creating a 40-foot-high mountain. A huge clawed crane grabs clumps of clothing from the top of the pile and then the pieces flutter back down to the floor. The floor is gridded off into sections where coats are laid out, animated by the pounding sound of human heartbeats. Visitors have the opportunity to contribute their heartbeats to the piece […]
