2009 Lower East Side Kick off

James Kalm returns for the 2009 season opener on the LES (Lower East Side). This sampler features run-throughs of five openings that give viewers an idea of the tastes and trends we likely to see more of as the year unwinds. Beginning with the zippy tape stripes of Franklin Evans at Sue Scott, we dash up Freeman Alley to take a peek at the work of one name wonder Carter at Salon 94. From there we visit Khalif Kellys Metamorphosis at Thierry Goldberg Projects, and take a glance at the video installation of Adam Shecter at Eleven Rivington. Finally its up to East 2nd Street to check out the most recent offering at Museum 52 of Jacob Robichaux.

The obscenity of mediocrity. The obscenity of fraud.

I loved seeing the Lower East Side Galleries. I loved your comment in the Rail : To understand the mystery of art, you have to understand the history of art. I remember seeing the Gene Davis "Black Popcorn" piece, which I mentally "uploaded" when you made your remark about the tape work. Great going. Janet

Hi James,

It was an unusual way to meet, but nice to meet you! I also really liked Franklin Evans' work at Sue Scott.

The tape pieces gave me a cozy home feeling. Great stuff -- all of it. Plenty of alleys where I'm sitting. You are the very best. Thanks as always.
