another busy week in the arts (last week).<\/p>\n

previously mentioned, there was the Homo Bellicus<\/a> show on Friday night.<\/p>\n

the rest of my activity was on Saturday which included first seeing a really hot collection of posters<\/a> on view at the main Paula Cooper Gallery on W 21st Street, a benefit for the Foundation for Contemporary Arts<\/a>, which I previously honestly was not too aware of.<\/p>\n

just across the street from this was the La Superette shopping fair<\/a> – which my work got ‘rejected’ from, more on that later! – and the Holiday Hackshop at Eyebeam which included some workshops<\/a> and inflatables<\/a> (the workshops which aligned themselves overwhelmingly more with the craftiness of La Superette, but which still managed to be interesting). while in the vicinity i went gallery hopping with some friends and saw some interesting work, including an umbrella<\/a> by I\u00f1igo Manglano-Ovalle, which reminded me, given the one object bathed in the light of another work, of the Dan Flavin work I saw just a few days prior<\/a>; some new paintings<\/a> by Ellsworth Kelly (those are two canvases, one stacked on top of the other; I was most interested in the layers of shadows such a stacking made – a little too hard to see in this photo sorry!); and some paintings<\/a> (from across the street originally thought to be photographs) by Jason Brooks that I’m sure sell for exuberantly large sums of dosh (Jason is English y’see).<\/p>\n

Sunday was simply spent cleaning my studio and preparing for new work, and visiting friends in Manhattan and Brooklyn for the evening. Oh and did I mention I also work a full-time job? Bleh!<\/p>\n
