Hidden and Forbidden New York Zhang Huan and Jocelyn Shipley

James Kalm trolls his files to present this medley of some of New York's most unusual hidden and forbidden art works. Humor is a powerful tool for artists, and whether it's "Art Park", a scruffy square meter of grass, or Marcel Dzama's parody of Duchamp's "Etant donnés" one need only open their eyes to perceive this wonders. Other sites like the Zhang Huan exhibit (which disallows photography) or Jocelyn Shipley's "Secret Life of Sculpture" requires the courage to seek, find and photograph. Viewing Julian Schnabel's sculptural courtyard is more in the nature of a peek by a nosey neighbor.

I love the memory doors. I would pay good money for the selective placement of a few of these -- well bolted -- within my frontal lobe. This must be a ton of work on your part and I'd be surprised if your brushes got the attention that your keyboard must. Much appreciated, thanks.

Thanks spawn,

If you're really interested, (or anyone else who loves avant-garde paintings) search YouTube for "Art exhibition Sideshow Gallery Brooklyn NY" and pay special attention to the painting that appears at 2:03.

By the way, I spent fifteen minutes last night with a tooth brush trying to get some Permanent Green oil paint of my Ctrl key. JK

We still need Ed Harris. Who else would play John Glenn or McCain?  Perhaps Bruce Willis.

Lateral diversion is a good thing. There should be an english word, both noun and verb, to describe an activity or object that gets worse with coninued attention -- hair and frequently paintings. Colorful keyboards are preferable to the ever deepening mess I produced yesterday with a pinstriping tool. I like your color sense, and literary and geometric elements didn't surprise me at all. Frame some of your keyboards. Bought a 20 year old Mac just for the beauty yesterday. Poor, poor Jobs.
