Photo du Jour: Jeremy et Michael à KW

On est passé la vieille de l'ouverture de l'expo Based in Berlin.

Jeremy était toujours en pleine installation de Best Minds Part One sur deux immenses écrans face à face.

On peut voir un extrait de cette vidéo sur son site http://jeremyshaw.net/

We stopped by to visit Jeremy the day before the opening of based in Berlin.

He was still installing Best Minds Part One. A looped 2 channel video piece on giant giant screens.

You can see an excerpt of the piece on his website http://jeremyshaw.net/

Photos du Jour: Tara de Long at Maccarone

Art is good: Marina Abramovic at MoMA

I just got to see a preview.
More on this later, but this show is a must see.

Art is Good: L'atelier Brancusi

En face de beaubourg, l'atelier de Constantin Brancusi a été recréé a l'identique, comme il l'avait voulu. Toute de vie de création mise en scène par l'artiste lui meme.

Une visite recomandée.

Photos du Jour: Thank you Taryn for recommending a visit to KW

Went to see the Ceal Floyer show at Kunst Werke.

Discovered an amazing artist in a great museum.

So many inspiring art in Berlin.

All my uneducated resistance towards conceptual art is melting fast.

Art is good: New York, Christy Bush at Bespoke Tonight

Busy night tonight, and I'm missing it all.
Christy Bush is also having an opening.
She's been working on this project for a long time.
Actually, we talked about it when I visited her to photograph her for I'll be Your Mirror.
Named Jackson, the series follows a young man as he enters teenage, all the way to his 15th birthday, only a few weeks ago.
I haven't seen any images yet, but you can see excerpts of her last solo show in the link below.

Un vernissage de plus ce soir.
Mon amie Christy Bush presente Jackson, sa deuxieme expo solo a Bespoke gallery.
Elle a fini ce projet au long cours il y a peine 3 semaines, avec le 15 eme anniversaire de son modele.
Pendant plus d'un an, elle a photographie Jackson pour capturer cet age toujours changeant qu'est le debut de l'adolescence.
Je n'ai encore vu aucune image mais j'ai hate.
Ci dessous un lien vers son projet precedent, Soundtrack to Nothing.
Pour les amateurs, il me semble que le livre et la bande son de ce film imaginaire sont toujour chez Colette.

Art is good: Londres, Sadie Coles

2 openings at Sadie Coles!
New paintings and drawings by Elizabeth Peyton.
Whose work you probably know.
And also new pieces by Jonathan Horowitz.
The best art show I've seen so far this year was his retrospective at PS1.
Art that manages to comment on the times while being both funny and moving, doesn't come by that often.
I will go see it for the 3rd time as soon as I'm back to NY, to try to write something smart about it.
So I definitely recommend checking out whatever he has done now.
The 2 spaces are next to each other, so have a good visit.

Il y avait 2 vernissages ce soir chez Sadie Coles.
Elizabeth peyton, dont vous connaissez certainement les tableaux.
Mais aussi, Jonothan Horowitz.
Je n'ai decouvert son travail que recemment, mais sa retrospective a PS1 est de loin l'expo qui m'a le plus marque cette annee.
Et j'ai l'intention d'y retourner une 3eme fois, pour essayer d'en ecrire un commentaire pas trop simplet.
C'est de l'art conceptuel, qui arrive a etre drole et emouvant a la fois.

Pour info, les 2 espaces sont a 1 minute 30 l'un de l'autre.
Si vous avez la chance d'y aller, dites moi ce que vous en pensez.
