Watts Towers - Sam's Nuestro Pueblo

I don't know how I missed the Watts Towers, an impressive architectural/sculptural undertaking by an outsider artist, but my dad just told me about them today, so check them out here. be sure to watch the movie here.

Royji Ikeda's show at the Park Armory, the Transfinite, was out of this world. read more at hyperallergic.
This was the best show I have seen all year.

Luhring Augustine

I'm sick today, so instead of getting out of bed, I plan on going through art books all day looking at pretty things.

I'll tell you what I find.

Firstly, I grabbed the Luhring Augustine 25year anniversary catalog, which they were handing out for free in the fall. Here are some of the amazing artists in the catalog.

Janine Antoni, Lick & Lather, 1993

Luisa Lambri, Untitled (Centro Galego de Arte Contemporánea, #11), 2008

Christopher Wool, She Smiles for the Camera I, 2005

Rachel Whiteread, untitled (library), 1999

Above images taken from Luhring Augustine website, here

Some artists that are not representing by the gallery but were in the catalog:

Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Untitled, 1991, Andrea Rosen gallery, here

Gerhard Richter, Working in the Garden I, 1966, here

Niall McClelland

Stain 3, 2011. Leaked ink cartridges on paper.

Rubber Maiden, 2011. Rubber mesh

Jeremie Gindre

Jeremie Gindre's work has a very clean-crisp aesthetic, which is impressive for dealing so much with rocks and bricks. Check out the website to see the nice combination of sculptures, installations, wall drawings, paintings, and text. Here

Kris Martin

100 Years, 2004. A metal sphere set to explode in a hundred years. Martin wanted to make a sculpture that would loose value after death. White Cube
Kris Martin also has another amazing performative sculpture, Vase, 2005, which for every show is broken and glued back together. reminds me of Jonathan Schipper's, To Dust.

Stéphane Vigny

IPE, 2008. Plaster I-beam.

Lustre, 2007. More

Sneak Peak: Whitney Museum with Glenn Ligon

An installment of Glenn Ligon's, Untitled (Negro Sunshine), 2005, is on display in the front window of the Whitney Museum, making it the first piece of the show I saw while waiting in line for the opening reception tonight. This is Ligon's first mid-career retrospective, and it was overdue. While using an impressively wide range of materials and methods, this highly conceptual show remained clean and clear. I will definitely have to come back during regular museum hours.

The show runs from March 10th-June 5th. more

Charles Ray and Anish Kapoor

Charles Ray, Ink Line, a constant stream of ink falls from the ceiling into a little hole in the floor. that is incredible. More
Thanks Lane

Up at Gladstone in Chelsea is an simple yet dramatic work by Anish Kapoor. (above is a similar piece)
If you spend some time with this it becomes almost like you are hallucinating. Standing in front of the work your inverted reflection seems to pop out from the concave disk, take a step closer and your reflection is right-side up. Talking in front of the work is also interesting, if you stand just-so, it sounds like you are talking right into your ear. Definitely spend some time with this.

Armory: some artists I didn't know but won't forget

Patrik Aarnivaara, A Slightly Different Time (2010), is similar to the installation on view at Galleri Charlotte Lund. His work was really nice to experience and the staff was really friendly.

Jonathan Schipper, To Dust. This is a time sensitive installation where the two hanging sculptures are rubbing against one another until they are reduced to dust. awesome. There was a conceptually similar installation of his at Pierogi's space.
