Sunny Sunday afternoon tour of LES side galleries with Curphey on March 18th.
Started at Canada gallery on Christie Street, naturally.
Gallery on Christie Street, focuses on contemporary American artists,
this of the sculptural work of Michael Mahalchick.
 |
| Closeup of the decal covered Fender guitar. |
 |
Michael Mihalchick sculture piece of a glass table top, resting on stacks of gay porn,
with raw bacon pieces. |
 |
| Since bacon flavoring is everywhere, why not as an art material? Decidedly a little gross. |
 |
| A new interesting gallery opening here soon.... |
 |
| These paintings of Anja Schwoerer, that used denim as a canvas and bleach as paint were rather interesting. And reminded me a little of the ball pint pen pieces I did on denim for KS Art's show of ball-point drawings a few years back. |
 |
| More of Anja Schwoerer's work at Beauchene Gallery on Orchard Street. |
 |
| Michael Bauer's painting in the group painting show "Today" at Lisa Cooley Gallery. |
 |
| Lisa Cooley's new space on Norfolk Street just opened a few days before. |
 |
Installation of an African-hut like large scale sculpture made of a hodgepodge of mops, legs of chairs
and other random materials by LA artist Henry Taylor. |
 |
| Mop detail of the hut sculpture by Henry Taylor. |
Liked the painting show "Slack Tide" of Sam Moyer at Rachel Uttner Gallery on Orchard. Paintings with textured surface that looks wrinkled or folded.
