Last Blast, Chelsea 2007

James Kalm makes a last minute dash through Chelsea to bring viewers a selection of shows of interest. Norbert Bisky, a member of the Leipzig Schule, starts the tour at Leo Koenig with "What's Wrong With Me". The eye fooling painting/sculpture pieces by Ivin Ballen at Winlkleman Gallery confront us with their simulated raw and funky materials, only to undermine our perceptions with their unusual fabrication technique. Mitchell Innes & Nash present a museum quality exhibit of Alberto Burri (1915-1995). Burri, an acknowledged master of postwar Italian art, is unfortunately less known in America than his accomplishment warrant. This show will no doubt help raise his profile with young artists.

...Burri is more associated with european taschism, not really arte povera, though his work might be said to anticipate it; arte povera was germano celant's idea, which he coined in an essay of l967; merz, penone, boetti, manzoni, and others are associated with the so-called movement...

I hold no concept of "museum quality exhibit." You have my vote for The Best of Youtube. Thanks for your considerable efforts. Happy '08.
