C0NSTRUCTIONS OF CONSCIENCE: THE SOCIAL ART OF SUSAN GRABEL
By Robert Sievert
|
|
ONCE UPON A TIME (1989) clay, wood, burlap, 63 in. x 48 in. x 14 in.
|
Susan Grabel has amassed a formidable body of work
over the past 40 years. I never understood it as
an ongoing singularity until I viewed her work in
a retrospective now being shown at the Staten Island
Museum (January 29 through May 28, 2012). Susan is a
figurative sculptor of great ability. She can model
a figure with remarkable accuracy achieving form that
is definitely understandably human. . . .

Lee Bontecou at Freedman Art
|
|
Lee Bontecou: Mobiles
|
Lee Bontecou, whose work was most recently seen
in New York City at a retrospective at the sadly departed MoMA/Queens
in 2004 and at
MoMA proper
in 2010, now has a small gem of a show at
Friedman Art just off
Madison Avenue at 73d Street in the Upper East
Side, for the moment at least a locus of
innovation and inspiration among the endless
boutiques thereabouts which now seem mostly
trapped in 1920s retro. The show will be there
until February 11th.

Ryan Trecartin's 'Any Ever' at MoMA/PS1
I have now done four tours through Ryan Trecartin's
Any Ever installation at PS1, and just as you should
have gone to the Alexander McQueen show, so you should
go to this one, although it's a lot easier to get
into, being in down-home-yet-hip Long Island City
rather than the Met.

Alchemy & Inquiry

Fred Tomaselli: Dahlia
|
|
Alchemy & Inquiry:
Philip Taaffe, Fred Tomaselli and Terry Winters,
at The Glyndor Gallery, Wave Hill,
from April 3 to June 19, 2011.
Curated by Raymond Foye and Jennifer McGregor.
|
Wave Hill,
with its botanical gardens and
transcendental views of the Hudson, is the perfect
venue for this fascinating exhibition by Philip
Taaffe, Fred Tomaselli and Terry Winters. Sharing the
idea of artist as magus or shaman, Taaffe, Tomaselli
and Winters each manifest something unique about the
Anima Mundi, or soul of the world. They manage to
encompass and encode a long tradition of humanism in
their work within individual stylistic techniques,
uses of media and decorative patterning. The keys
to their code are found in the connections between
science and nature in terms of the microcosm and the
macrocosm, the archetypal symbolism of the alchemical
process, and the fractal dimension of Chaos theory.
