Daniel Buren: Bartolomi



Oct 30th - Dec 23rd
Bartolomi Gallery
510 W 25th St
New York, NY 10001-5502
http://www.bortolamigallery.com/

The show consists of large sculptural works hanging from the wall, or, as the artist conceives it, emerging from the wall. The work is modular, based around the square and the 8.7cm stripe. Large glossy aluminum boxes, bung diagonally, and triangles are spaced out along the gallery walls in sets of like color. Four triangle shapes are hung two above and two below the diamond shape to create a diamond shape out of the wall. But the most grabbing work is in a separate room. One wall is covered in the black glossy aluminum sheets, which act as black mirrors. In the center emerges a large box, like the ones seen in the larger gallery space. However as you stand directly in front of it, everything flattens into its reflective surface. Only from the side do you see the box, and its black and white stripes, emerge from the wall.
I had the pleasure of working with Mr. Buren during the installation and was totally impressed by his continual participation in the installation process.

Carrol Dunham: Gladstone Gallery




October 30 - December 5, 2009

 Carrol, or Tip, Dunham has a very colorful show of his cartoon influenced painting at Gladstone Gallery. The mark making in Carrol Dunham's work is what really distinguishes his work. There is a large combination of marks and referential styles bridging the gap between graphic stylization of cartoons and the subtlety of color and texture only possible in painting. He also manages to preserve a freshness to many of his paintings. Which makes me wonder about the span of dates listed on each painting. Some list quite a few months on them, yet are almost watercolor like in their transparency. What he did in those months is a mystery as it doesn't show in the paint application.
