I can't stop visiting Tom Sachs's great show at the Park Avenue Armory!

Bill and I are really excited for friend, Tom Sach's newest project. Opening on May 16th at the Park Avenue Armory and co-presented by Creative Time, "Artist Tom Sachs takes his SPACE PROGRAM to the next level with a four week mission to Mars that recasts the 55,000 square foot Wade Thompson Drill Hall as an immersive space odyssey with an installation of dynamic and meticulously crafted sculptures."

He explains it best... check out the site here.

Hope to se you there.

California Girls!

This Rene Ricard show on Melrose is not to be missed.

The color, the humor, the man himself. You won't regret it.

Last Saturday the family headed over to the much beloved New Museum for the book signing of Tim Noble and Sue Webster's "BRITISH RUBBISH".

As you can see from the photo above these two are painfully genius. The body of their work are these incredible trash construction shadow portraits shown here, as well as "light installations that riff of Las Vegas' location as being a place somewhere between heaven and hell." Another favorite quote of their style is: "Their art evokes both gaudy Vegas culture and down-and-dirty punk rock: a combination of cynical extravagance and a defiant, rebellious sensibility."

Maybe my MOST favortie part of the day is the SAMESIES! that happened with Sue Webster and my little mini me!

Sunday afternoon brought the family to the Untitled Gallery for the Opening of Henry Taylor's exhibition.

I will pique your interest for the artist with the first couple lines of the artist's bio: "Remarkably prolific, Taylor began painting seriously at the California state hospital where he worked as a psychiatric nurse for ten years. While still in school, he developed a style that was both understated and nuanced and began working, more or less, compulsively, painting people he'd find on the street and becoming a fixture in downtown LA."

Not satisifed? The show is explained as such: "For his show at the gallery, Henry will install an African hut, a large-scale sculpture built in part from the miscellany stashed in his studio and inspired by a recent trip to Ethiopia. The piece is a hodgepodge of random and found objects ranging from clusters of Chinese brooms, a disrobed mannequin, and a taxidermied hyena."

Untitled Gallery is located at 30 Orchard St in the LES, & the Henry Taylor Show will be open through April 22nd.

Do you know about the Brucennial???

Not Springstein. Neither Willis. Nor Lee.

The Bruce High Quality Foundation is an art collective "created to foster an alternative to everything." And I was pumped to attend their Brucennial last Friday in Soho. The place was packed. The BHQF promises excitement as the collective is mostly anonymous, and wholly interestd in promoting fresh, new, interesting works and identites in the art world. You can see all the contributors here. Im not going to post pictures of the show becasue I IMPLORE you to go in person and take in the whole space/experience. I will post some pictures of other pieces by artists displayed there to hopefully excite and encourage you to go!
