What's Up Chelsea, Joy Garnett and George Condo

James Kalm makes an ides of March tour visiting two of Chelsea's most well received painting exhibitions and stumbles onto some interesting street action on the way. Joy Garnett, at Winkleman Gallery, collects images from the internet and using a conceptually based strategy presents landscape paintings that depict our new "global vision". At the Luhring Augustine Gallery George Condo debuts "Christ: The Subject Nature of Objective Representation" a provocative take on religious imagery. In the streets we bump into "Pink Bunny" an ongoing performance piece and Jerry Saltz escorting 2008 Whitney Biennial contributor Michael Smith on a local tour.

[kielonkielon]

those condos works are truly amazing!!!

well, then he can afford some lessons. selling work isn't difficult. the market is full of fools and dealers that feed off of each others lack of artistic depth. painting a truly passionately amazing work is difficult. the price, the name, the shows shown in...all irrelevant. the work must be amazing or it is crap. and thanks james. keep filming. we all extremely appreciate your hard work.

true, true. him and kenny scharf are the bad side of cartoon culture. this banal optimistic view of television, very 50's wish-thinking. the vomit on the shoes of pop art. this has led to the whitney biannual and all of its annoying televisions parading as ART. everyone is famous now and t.v. is a big-titty, jesus-humpin' and bible-thumpin' idiot box. :)

George Condo set a new auction record at Sotheby's London on February 5, 2007 when "The Insane Cardinal" (2003) sold for $378,000.

i am angry that your anger is not angrier. how dare you dare me to dare you to dare me to be angrier. :)

boring!!! condos work is boring and badly painted by accident by a truly ungifted artist that is higly over rated. how dare you not be completely enthuesed by badly executed images of crucified cartoons! this is not an outrage!
