Oceans and Parks v.3 - post show

Thanks again to all who viewed, participated and gathered for the very intimate, esoteric, group fine art show that I curated, known on this journal/blog as: Oceans and Parks.

Here is the link for the digital catalog for the show. Please download to view it (not in your browser please)

An Exchange with Sol LeWitt

I participated in a two-part exhibition in January-March 2011, An Exchange with Sol LeWitt. It was a very personally meaningful show, since I regard some of LeWitt's work to be the greatest that the 20th century had to offer. The work was an unreleased, documentation/proposal drawing for the light/laser work, The Reddest Shift [...diagonal masters], 2010.

The catalog for the exhibition was just released and the print version is on sale here. You can also download an electronic (.pdf) version here for free.

Fine Artist of the Month: Painting Meticulous Chemistry: A linked poem for Allen Higbee

Each month I am adding to an on-going series of writings about Fine Artists who have worked, or are primarily working, in the NYC area. This month I write a "linked poem" for the late, Allen Higbee (RIP).

Painting Meticulous Chemistry

The building blocks of paint.

The folding of magazine photography.

To light stars of the canvased sky

To carve the foreign with respect.

There in the battlefields of time.

There in Lowery Field's space.

Touching the matter of Dramatics and Realism.

Touching the Mana of wood and paint.

This New Jersey.

This Man.
