Wow, I haven’t posted since December, but that’s because I’ve been swamped, which is a good thing. I’ve also devoted many weekends to viewing art at local NYC galleries – but not far and wide enough, so this list of things I’ve loved is missing almost anything that is showing outside of Manhattan and is skimpy on Lower Manhattan as well. Regardless, here’s ten shows you should check out before they close in the next week or so:
David Altjmed, Juices at Rosen: One of the best, crazy, nightmare inducing shows in the city. Must see before it closes.
Re-View: Onnasch Collection at Hauser & Wirth. Paul Schimmel has curated this big show with a ton of minimalism, Pop art, Fluxus, Ab-Ex and more. Graba free espresso in the somewhat hidden secret coffee shop as well.
Richard Serra: New Sculpture, Gagosian: Yeah, he’s big, but this show rocks
Loren Munk: You Are Here at Freight and Volume: Obsessives, take note(s)
Harry Callahan: City at Pace MacGill. Incredible city scene photos from the master.
Ferran Adria Notes on Creativity at the Drawing Center: I never got to eat at his restaurant, but his creative process shown in these notebooks and models is incredible.
J Ivcevich: Shreds at Garvey/Simon Access: starting with subway posters and ending in abstract musings. Nice Buddhas as well:
Nir Arieli: Inframen at Daniel Cooney: Infrared photos of models reveal hidden blemishes and are wild to see.
Frank Thiel: Nowhere is a Place at Sean Kelly Big photos of massive ice fields in Patagonia
Charles Harlan: Ishtar at Venus Over Manhattan: A big fence you want to get over to see what’s inside. Hmmm
