This week (2/1/11), in ADTICIPATION, I take a look at a "text only" advertisement for Francesco Vezzoli at the Gagosian Gallery on 21st Street opening on Saturday; the TRIPPLE THREATs (recommended by at least 3 publications) are Christian Marclay at Paula Cooper Gallery, Seth Price at Friedrich Petzel Gallery, & David S. Allee at Morgan Lehman Gallery; and it is the FINAL WEEK for Leslie Thornton at Winkleman Gallery in Chelsea and Jeff Gibson at Stephan Stoyanov Gallery in the Lower East Side.

ADTICIPATION UPDATE: The Francesco Vezzoli show at Gagosian was a very odd disappointment. Supermodel faces photoshopped on renaissance “Madonna & child” paintings, embroidered with “tears” made up of various modern artworks – all displayed in melting gold frames in a gallery constructed to look like a chapel– complete with a stained glass window.
