Bad criticism
I went to Triple Canopy's "Bad Criticism" symposium. Triple Canopy, an international online magazine that addresses a specific set of concerns in the contemporary dialog, I thought it would be interesting to to hear what the younger generation had to say about the state of criticism via their social justice perspective. It was interesting.
I took notes...
Downtown Dealers Association
I don't know what I was thinking...
Join us for Downtown Dealers, featuring Jane Lombard and Lisa Carlson, moderated by Matthew Higgs.
Independent is pleased to invite you to Downtown Dealers, a live conversation series uniting New York art dealers across generations to share their approaches and experiences. In celebration of Jane Lombard's 30-year career as a dealer, this panel will feature Jane Lombard and Senior Director Lisa Carlson, in dialogue with Matthew Higgs.
That's not true. I thought that this event might feature seasoned art dealers, talking about the current condition of the art market and of the various responses to go forward. Guess I should have read the event details.
In any event... it was interesting to learn more about Jane Lombard and her gallery history.
I took notes:
Shape of Painting
Back in NYC, my first stop was to see Saul Ostrow's curated group show at The Milton Resnick and Pat Passlof Foundation located at 87 Eldridge Street in the LES (Lower East Side), NYC.
An incisive, extremely well thought out exhibition, The Shape of Painting offers an excellent survey of how painting has extended the realm of plasticity to the historically most overlooked aspect of the medium, the nature of the support. Saul Ostrow, a legendary curator / critic / nearly a philosopher, wrote an immensely thoughtful essay that accompanies a richly succinct overview of the subject, organizing an otherwise unwieldy topic. (The fact that I'm a friend presses no weight on this scale of his esteem. He's that good.) This essay is available in the exhibition catalog, which is now available from The Milton Resnick and Pat Passlof Foundation.
If you haven't already, please click on the Resnick/Passlof's Foundation exhibition web page to read the press release, an object example of how such a thing should be done... and if you're living in the Tri-State area, get down there and see the show.
A. Must. See.

Sovereignty
These three videos tell a story.
Best to be elliptical, for the moment at least.
