I think some of the other ones would make nice rugs....
no one brought this up yet: "I think the biggest issue is finding a dealer who believes in your work," said the painter Inka Essenhigh, speaking by phone from her Manhattan studio.
She recounted a rocky period from 1998 to 2001, when she moved from the Stux Gallery to Deitch Projects to Mary Boone to 303 Gallery, finally settling in there. "Jeffrey told me he was looking for artists with star qualities," Ms. Essenhigh said of Jeffrey Deitch, one of her former dealers. She compared his gallery to Warhol's Factory. "Jeffrey wanted to be Andy," she said. "He wanted his Edie and Paul America. He wanted me to have a drug problem. He wanted me to create a scene where I went to parties. It was a lukewarm endorsement at best." (Reached by telephone in Greece, Mr. Deitch said, "I'd never be so pretentious to say I modeled myself on Andy, although it's very flattering.")
well Deitch seems to like artist who make spectacles of themselves at their openings, he seems to like a good show... but that's alright, why not have a little circus with your art.
His reality show is getting bad reviews though... not enough drama... or art for that matter.
That was an interesting article in the ny times about artist(very well ones)moving to galleries for more money and limelight, hey why not, make all you can as fast as you can before your over 40.
This reminds me of the sort of thing you get when you pour acrylic paint onto a non-pourous surface, and then peel off the shapes with a razor blade and apply them like vinyl transfers - or maybe thats what I would do, were I working in this manner.
Compositionally I find this boring - too flat or not enough pos-neg or too hard edged without any blurring as with the ann craven - i like variation, or varigation, or verification in the form of redundancy, but not redundant redundancy, but rather re-phrasing, so that the overall picture, made up of different phrases, adds up, synergisticly to a new thing, but the same thing, sort of like a hologram or a fractal, but not a fractal, but rather something that mirrors itself, without being a literal mirror.
If one concentrates on the blue slpotch in the middle - which becomes the key, for me, to this painting - the wrinkled white above it could beliminated, or changed to enhance the effect. In this case, and in that interpretation, it flattens the painting out, and I wonder if the paitner really has a spatial idea or if it is more just about camouflage - inert.

i knew there was something special about Deitch openings. that article seemed fishy.
this one reminds me of Nicolas de Stael mixed with Lisa Ruyter and a smidge of Gary Hume maybe
did anyone see Yellowman perform at Dietch?when the fuk did that happen?
yeah, but it sums up alot about the whole art market thing...
the amount of money some people are making...
is lisa luckovich really worth a million????
make all you can as fast as you can before your over 40.
That's when the party really begins....

Yellowman live at Hypnogoogia, Deitch Projects 18 Wooster St., January 28, 2006
yup we were there, ON the spinning disco stage at Hypnogoogia! i still can't figure out how they wired it.
happy new year. ;)
Reminds me of the work Joyce Kim showed a couple of years ago at Priska. That was a really good show. Will have to ckeck these out.
Exciting body of work. I love it.

I agree about the spatial conception being a little bit vapid. it seems like it wants to imply something but doesnt follow through
I have the feeling that I've seen this painting before, except that I forget.
Cool
