Julian Schnabel Navigation Drawings at SPERONE WESTWATER

James Kalm joins waiting throngs while viewing this group of recent "drawings" by Julian Schnabel. As one of the most recognized artists of his generation, Schnabel has stirred controversy both positive and negative. With his emergency as an acclaimed filmmaker, this group of maps may allude to his circuitous creative path and the adventures experienced en route. Featuring an interview with Charlie Finch, and cameos by Chris Martin, Wolfgang Petrick and Steve Buscemi

"I frequently click on James Kalm, whose absurdist ad-libbed recitative, hushed but informed off-screen commentary and jiggling hand-held camera are tantamount to an ongoing act of performance art."

- Steve Kaplan on James Kalm, in the comments at Artworld Salon.

WHOOPEE,

Thanks for the heads up Martin. At least now we know there are three of us watching.

Steve is an old friend, I tease him, but he's appeared in several of the "Kalm Reports". Let's see if the post my reply, thanks JK

You seem to have so many art experts pontificating about what real art is. i.e., form ,content , color and paint handling. one would think that so much technical expertise and talent and over 30 years of actual producing and showing art works that someone would have actually heard of them?? You may hate scnabel, but at least got up off the couch and didi something with his limited time on this planet unlike you dumb asses . do something!

It is a real pity: with a little less self-satisfaction, he could have been a great painter. The act of smudging paint on ancient maps does not qualify as "drawing" in my opinion, especially if you do it while filmed by "60 Minutes", dressed in blazer and bermuda that you are careful not to stain with paint...
