Kalm's September 15, 2007 Gallery Crawl

James Kalm treks back to Chelsea to catch some exhibitions of interest that were missed during the season opener. The work of Deborah Kass mingles elements of Pop Art, Post Painterly Abstraction and sixties graphic design. The sunny surfaces fain optimism yet deeper anxieties are palpable. Shannon Lucy paints images that seem like remnants from a Victorian past. Mister Lonely is the title of the film recently premiering at Cannes from which Brent Stewart took still photos of the actors. He also worked on James Clauer's documentary Aluminum Fowl (2006). Matthew Blackwell is a painter's painter. His seething canvases capture aspects of a downwardly mobile American culture with an urgent wit. Cameo appetence by Stephen Maine

thanks james. your snippet of Aluminum Fowl is particularly brutal however, and as an animal lover myself I just wanted to assure your viewers that it's a great movie despite the dog getting kicked, and it can be viewed right here on youtube, check it out.

Dear CynCity,

I didn't intentionally pick a brutal scene from "Aluminum Fowl", I just happened by the viewing area and caught that particular snippet. I didn't have any other footage and wanted to give James Clauer at least a couple of seconds. Time is always a problem in editing these mini vids.
