Posted by juggernut3, August 24, 2011

Finally after years of hoping and wanting, we got an Anish Kapoor dish… coffee cup and dish that is.

Openings: Tauba Auerbach – “A Book Is Not An X” @ John McWhinnie & GHB

Posted by juggernut3, August 16, 2011

On Friday, Tauba Auerbach unveiled a truly unique body of work at John McWhinnie @ GHB in East Hampton, NY. The show entitled A Book Is Not An X (previewed) is a play on a statement she made last year in an Artforum review of Carsten Nicolai’s book Grid Index: “a book is an X-axis. The format is almost always linear; the content, bound in a prescribed order, marches single file.” For this exhibition Tauba created six “books” and each plays on this notion and […]

Openings: Olson Olson Recine & Ass @ Nyehaus

Posted by juggernut3, August 9, 2011

AM recently caught the opening of a very unique show entitled Olson Olson Recine & Ass at New York’s Nyehaus. Sounds kinda like a law firm right? Well, that’s the point as this group show was titled by a father/son duo Steve & Alex Olson. The central theme of exhibition was the wheel, so whether it was riding a skateboard or motorcycle, the artists Phil Frost, Curtis Kulig, Yaniv Evan, Bob Recine and the previously mentioned duo have always been rolling in perpetual motion.

It seemed that almost everyone came out of the woodworks to donate artwork for the charity auction including a heavy rotation of […]
