Peering in at Robert Frank
by Kirsten Bengtson-Lykoudis
Robert Frank at The Metropolitan Museum of Art
September 22nd - January 3rd, 2010
Posted
11/1/09
When Robert Frank’s controversial book of photographs, The Americans, first came out in the late 1950’s, in France and the US, it was the result of two years of Kerouac-style exploration on the back roads of American life. Fueled by a hefty Guggenheim grant, Swiss-born Frank traveled across the country like his literary counterparts, the Beats, training his camera on what might seem like inconsequential moments in his adopted country – a group of men waiting by their cars at a funeral in the South...

THE L MAGAZINE, October 30, 2009Antony Crossfield: Foreign Body
"The fused, melted and hybrid bodies in Crossfield's uneasy photo-manipulations are very literally joined at the hips (or elsewhere), yet appear eerily isolated and lonely in their dilapidated and tragic surroundings." [more]

NEW YORK MAGAZINE, October 26, 2009
Profile — Opening Soon
“Warped and oily and way-too-appealing photographs, considering the sadistic things that appear to be happening to this British artist's models. Most are playing naked Twister—not the fun version—while one little girl is literally stretching beyond her limits. Guillermo del Toro should visit this show."
KLOMPCHING NOTE: A 'little girl' does not appear in the artist's artwork.... [more]

Good Time Horror

Francine Spiegel at Deitch Projects - Grand St.

10/25/09
There are some people who live for the chance to play dead, and there are those who would kill for the opportunity to live like a maniac for just one day. Fortunately there is a holiday for both types. If, however, a holiday isn’t enough one might want to look into an apprenticeship with Francine Spiegel. She is guaranteed to cut the chords on your typical routines and encourage you to embrace the totality of an other-worldly character.
Orchestrating a blend of horror and hilarity that... [more]

JOSHUA STERN at Parker's Box
September 11th - October 25th
Posted
10/18/09
Joshua Stern’s solo show at Parker’s Box gallery titled “Straw Economy”, a mini-retrospective of work the artist produced in the last three decades, relies on text, signs and words in ways that recall the first two of the last three decades of contemporary art, giving it a slightly historical feel. In “Straw Economy” a clear path can be seen from simple text statements, through to complex image and word associations, and then finally, into work that only uses linguistic s... [more]

Michael Buckland at Sacco and Vanzetti Cultural Center
October 2nd - November 8th
Posted
10/18/09
To begin with, Michael Buckland is an artist who clearly revels in word and image contradictions. Much of the work in the Artist’s solo show at the Sacco and Vanzetti Cultural Center presents itself as signage that says exactly the opposite of what it demonstrates as an image. One work, entitled “Thumbs up”, includes the words “down with everything” wrapped around both a lifesaver shaped sign, and a hand signaling “thumps up” in the center. To add to the integral... [more]
