the interior decorator as artist. I actually think that was a title of a magazine piece about this show. agree it looked better online. Something unsettling in a negative way about the work when seen in person.
Funny, just because it is at LFL gallery does that mean it is more important than if it was in a basement with dad's oil paint and watercolor experiments? Because they look the same to me.
You know that old expression for people you aren't serious about but find appealing on a surface level: "I wouldn't kick them out of bed". I wouldn't kick this off my wall.
There's a funny kind of edge there, and it's between that old, odd and tired (less the heaven and hell)--goo with playful ironic; 'motif' as curl's twist, like a cat plays up to, who knows who has the bait. They remind me of naughty garden tools, less spatulas of re: design, I can guess probably they do look even more color-tired in person. But it is the season, of the color, before, brightly turning red, or yellow, or orange--here anyhow! But be that what may, the fun is there in jpg!
Dudes making fun of some kind of interior decor esthetic but by doing so is in fact perpetuating the same sickness, parody of a parody. Pretty self reflexive, and thus modernist. This is a great example of the terminal moron of modernism.
I love Ridley Howard's work and Natalie Djurberg and I respect Schutz- I think she deserves all her success. Feuer has a reputation as a decent guy. I've seen him talking respectfully with students at Hunter about their work.
yet other good artist at Feuer: Jules de Balincourt, Stuart Hawkins, Christoph Ruckhäberle, Tim Lokiec.... I agree that Furnas show was weak, but some of the small works had promise. No one really seems to be lauding him as one of the great talents though.
Art dealers are unethical? Didnt dude get pissed at the SVA admissions counselor who sells "counterfeits"?
Or am I thinking of someone else.
Anyways, Barbara Gladstone showed some crafty stuff - maybe thats what this show is about.
THe ceramics - its hard to get the red, (or at least It is for me) I know that. Good craftsmanship. The knit or macramed rothkos are nice too. I'd go for them but I hate art jokes. Still, as objects they arent bad.
FOrget all that blather about resituating the seat of feminism in the chakra of the mantra. Just put em up in the hacienda and make some fucking sangria.
YOu are escaping your friends with rothkos. YOu are going to big sky country. Pay no attention to the dentists drill. Thats an illusion.
@chico.I'm only hearing negative rants.if that floats your boat, go fer it. to keep it interesting please offer one positive comment about a specific contemporary artist. i like naming names. thats how i expand.....
Chico you are certainly entitled to your thoughts and I've always liked your comments but I have to restrain myself from spilling first hand gossip about other dealers ( openly racist, cheating artists, dropping an artist for just disagreeing with a collector). Where there is smoke there is fire and this guy does not have that kind of smoke.
Yeah I get mad when people talk over my head with big words like that.
Who dropped someone for not dancing like a trained monkey for a collector? Isnt that why you serve/limit the drinks at the dinner? Or I mean, does the artist have to talk to a collector? Ive heard of artists who dont even exist! Put that in your idea grinder and so on and so forth. I bet ninetynine percent of all artists are at least partially cyborg, if not organ donors.
i don't have a problem with people getting attention---even if it is attributed to the marketing of certain individuals as some allege. my problem is more with the fact that others don't get their work shown and don't have enough avenues to get their message across.
i actually think some of dana's work can be inspiring for younger artists in that her overt mark making is easily discernible and can give a person a sense that they could paint like that as well.
i have no beef with the ability of one artist to captivate the interest of another.
I understand exactly what you are saying about the current situation of things chicomacho, but what is the solution?? To become an influential tastemaker (and how that is done is pretty impressive in it's own right) at the expense of doing less art (I assume you are an artist from your passionate response) .
Hey-- did anyone look at that link cookie b posted? Oh geez now I'm going to have to compulsively go through the whole thing , so much to go through and see. Good link!
the art world is so vast now that you dont have to concentrate on these kind of tidbits and vanity pieces. Looking at a place like Chelsea from a distance does put you at a disadvantage though, to skewing your eyes towards the more negatively splashy aspects. J saltz said something to this effect recently, and I had formulated the same opinion myself over time: if you go through Chelsea, 1 out of 15 shows is decent, 1 out of 25 is good , 1 out of 50 is really great. The margin is sometimes higher, especially for decent shows, but it sill makes it a thrilling place to be able to look at art at times, though yeah, if you see 20 shows and they all sucks then its depressing....in a place like NY though, there is almost always something good to see, which accounts for my puzzlement at your negativity....btw I never rely on artforum to lift my spirits.
Chico I have to agree with your general frustration if not the specifics. But if art is more uniform and orthodox than it could be ( strange considering that more artists than ever are able to survive ) don't we really have ourselves to blame? I haven't read Artforum for years: it gives me panic attacks.

The woodwork is pretty allright, but the show would have been better if the joints were dovetailed.

abject
something about the palette reminds me of Gregory amenoff
I had a friend who studied under him - he said he couldnt reach her. She lifted the curtain and clicked her heels together.
I dont know about content though. Seemed like an art joke where GA prob gets stoned...ill go with GA, cuz smokin and trippin is all that I do.
Is this for real? This is horrible.

Context is an odd, odd thing.

moraine.
those some bold words chico..if thats the case, then whose your idea of a good, honest art dealer.

bF
LOT 70
l - BARNABY FURNAS
B. 1973
HEARTBREAK RIDGE
400,000—600,000 USD
My bet is it sells to a friend of the family. That or someone gets a horses head int he bed sort of thing.
I'm just saying he has a reputation as an honest artist friendly dealer.
I guess saying somebody is ethical and nice for an art dealer is like saying "you give great blowjobs for a nun"but still.
personal attacks based on 2nd hand info is cheesy dude. btw where do you live [out of curiosity](i assumed ny cuz you mentioned greene naftali)
and if your in the answering questions mood, who would you name as conceptually strong contemporary painters?

How many dealers use exclusivity and the duality of in/out to market the work? All the suckcessfull ones?

Zip if anyone tells you to resituate anything in your root chakra you should probably get angry.

in defense of dana.
