It’s not enough that Southern California currently enjoys perfect sunshiny weather while New York freezes. It also has to rub it in by currently being home to terrific shows with NYC-based artists Faile and Aaron Young – all under one roof. Young, formerly of San Francisco and a Yale MFA, boasts a solo show in the first floor of the prestigious Gagosian Gallery in the famous 90210 zip code.
Recently, AM visited the exhibition and would like to treat you all to what we saw. More after the jump…
Young’s work is the result of extreme performance, dynamic energy, and a hint of danger. A typical work of his involves a motorcycle, rubber, and the meeting of both on the surface of his art. This show exemplifies that sense with his barricades, fragile looking wrecking balls, and razor wire springs. The artist, who has previously shown at PS1, Serpentine, and the Whitney, is also included in the collections of MoMA and Saatchi. Hurry if you want to catch this show and check out the group show that includes Faile upstairs. The current exhibition runs until Feb 27, 2010.
