Art Miami Fair

December 19, 2008 by ArtJetSet

Art Miami Fair hosts a wide variety of leading national and international contemporary art galleries and institutions. The spacious clean and airy interior gave a pleasant and cohesive experience to viewing these reputable galleries. I especially enjoyed Howard Lonn at Nicholas Metivier Gallery, Jennifer Vasher at Richard Levy Gallery, The series by Hung Liu, and Xiaoze Xie at Nicholas Metivier Gallery.

September 20, 2008 by ArtJetSet

The Dia:Beacon is home to large scale works that dont move very easily, and are housed permantly on the gorgeous facility an hour up the Hudson River, north of Manhattan.The heat generated by the sun shining through the industrial windows, onto Richard Serra’s Torqued Ellipses, is a warmth like no other. You feel it as you spiral through the interior of these monumental sculptures.Sol Lewit’s massive geometric arthmetic wall drawings are mesmerizing. Though concieved by Lewit, the works are in […]

Museum of Contemporary Canadian Art MOCCA

April 22, 2008 by ArtJetSet

The MOCCA‘s Contact exhibition titled From the Epic to the Everyday is a panoramic dialogue that stretchs accross the world, through different periods, themes, and cultures, discussing their unique identity through image. From Robert Burley’s documentary photos of the destruction of Kodak Park, Nan Goldin’s hauntingly intimate portraits, Luc Delahaye’s disaster scapes. A phenominal contrast between the redundantly ironic Martin Parr who exhibits middle class England at its worst to Bert Teunissen who photographed elderly couples in their homes, granting […]

Barbara Prézeau and Inés Tolentino at JM’Arts

April 6, 2008 by ArtJetSet

I had never heard of the The JM’Arts gallery at 36, rue Quincampoix 75004 Paris, walking past I was loured in by the glittering icons in Barbara Prézeau’s painting in the front window. This exhibition featured to female artists of west Caribean origins, Prézeau from Haiti, and Inés Tolentino from the Domincan Republic. In an adherently feminist method, both artists use embroidery in their works. Prézeau creates complex alters to the Virgin Mary. Her use of mashup mixed media, found […]

Turbine Hall Tate Modern

February 27, 2008 by ArtJetSet

There are always interesting things happening in Tate Modern Turbine Hall. LIVE : LIVING CURRENCY, a two-day exhibition of performance art in contemporary dance. X-Event 2 autonomous units imposing the limitations of the individual in awareness of a place. The dancers move slowly and thoughtfully around and towards each other. Subtly touching, holding, posing, spitting, creating the distance and the interconnections between the whole and the individual. Doris Salcedo’s Shibboleth, a crack that starts at the entrance of the Turbine […]

Kim Dorland at Angell Gallery

February 25, 2008 by ArtJetSet

Kim Dorland, fantastic landscape in gestural dynamic technique. The colours are intense and the shadows are better. The layering effect seems to be a new trend in contemporary painting. Like Daniel Richter, Dorland uses a spray paint grafitti technique which gives these large works a dynamic relevance. Angell gallery is one of my perfered galleries in Toronto.

Yvon Lambert

December 6, 2007 by ArtJetSet

Yvon Lambert is one of my favorite commercial galleries in Paris. Few highlights from recent exhibitions there. Barbara Kruger wall paper piece in the entree. Kendell Geers carved stars into this human skull. Working with skulls seems to be the new medium for contemporary sculpture, seeing as how successfull Damien Hirst’s collaboration with Swarovski .

Venice Biennale – African Pavillion

November 25, 2007 by ArtJetSet

The African Pavillion was the highlight of the Arsenale. In the first niche, we enter the African Pavillion, in the center of the room a table with a heavy leather book whose large pages wait blank, settled in the binding a black marker. A digital projector reflected its pages upon the wall, with the caption “Art Africain Pourquoi Faire” I found this compelling challenging and provoking!!! Pourquoi faire….. to do a lot of things!!! Tragically, either the pavillion’s visitors didnt […]

Venice Biennale

November 25, 2007 by ArtJetSet

The Venice Biennale, title theme THINK WITH THE SENSES FEEL WITH THE MIND, curated by Robert Storr. The biennale is divided into two main playgrounds, The Arsenale – a series of connected warehouse spaces VS the Giardini where each country has a house in which they present their most acclaimed artist. Storr quotes as saying the theme is to present the dichotomies between the perceptive and the conceptual, between thought and sentiment. Less descretly the undertone of the Arsenale presented […]
