one million art fairs to come

I'm back from one art fair (Scope New York) and now its time to work every night to prepare work for the next one called NEXT (Chicago), a little confusing to mention in conversation. Gracias ADA Gallery for giving me so many opportunities to show!
so I will be driving to Chicago in late April with a load of fragile sculptures

one million photos i took at the Whitney Biennial...in my mind

After blogging a bit of the Armory I got a little excited about documenting art museums again after such a long hiatus without a camera. It was a real party balloon deflater however when the Whitney told me i couldn't take any photos...not even from their permanent collection! Before I realized this rule, I had taken my first photos of this David Hammonds piece on the top floor.
weird fake plants you ask? 
yes, very weird plants, dred locks growing from rocks and shedding wherever they please.

one million maybe interesting photos from two days at the Armory

Alexis in front of Bernard Frieze
I would have died to make this as an undergrad ( i tried to make one in steel)
Dawn Clements (see studio visit early on this blog from five years ago)
Pierogi Gallery's booth, may they continue to live long and prosper. 
this guy made me feel like i should take my figurine stacking to the next level. His statues are actually moving very slowly up and down on chains connected to a motor, hence the bits of cement you see on the pedestal as they rub against each other. I met him later, John somebody, nice dude.
can't go wrong with neon at the Armory 2010
(more on that at www.david-grainger.blogspot.com)
colors make us so excited!
these kids are so sexist.
i said it at the Allan Mcullom and i'll say it again, you can't go wrong with a little repetition
fascinating
not a real skull everyone, its carved from a phone book
this is how Australia stacks up
wish i wrote this painter's name down for Allan

one million returns to painting
