Post by Jennifer Zarro Installation shot of Alex Da Corte and Jack Sloss’s Love Explosion at Fleisher-Ollman Gallery. The party is over and everyone must go. There’s a morning-after feeling to the Jack Sloss and Alex Da Corte show on view at the Fleisher Ollman Gallery. Piled-up presents are partially opened, colored globe lights on the floor wear happy and sad faces – they’re reminiscent of deflating balloons on the day after a party.

There’s trash alright, but it’s behind glass in a piece called Big Snak by Dan Murphy (co-founder of Megawords magazine). Dan Murphy, Big Snak.

Weekly Update – The radical forlorn in art

This week’s Weekly has my piece on radically-forlorn art, something that’s in the air and on the walls everywhere. Below is the copy with some pictures. I have sets from the TODT exhibit here, from Pentimenti here and from Karen Kilimnik’s ICA exhibit here. Libby’s post on TODT is here. Licensed to NilIn a world run by oil-crazed warmongers, pictures of kittens don’t cut it. Aggressive Nippers from TODT’s installation at Fleisher-Ollman Art mirrors the times. When the times get black and ugly, so does art. But not all art, of course. Some artists turn inward and produce things more ... More » »

Oh, the horror; Todt at Fleisher-Ollman

Mam, 1996, 53 x 43 x 43″ Todt is not for the faint of heart. The group makes work about humanity without a moral compass. The parodies of technological experimentation and technology culture are at once horrifying and familiar. The group goes back more than 30 years. But recently it is back in full force with their exhibit After Next at Fleisher-Ollman Gallery, as well as upcoming exhibits at the Centre Pompidou and at Sideshow Gallery in Williamsburg, and a feature article about them in Sculpture Magazine. But their work is always timely it seems to me given humanity’s penchant ... More » »

Rip, Rig & Panic: Resnikoff, Khaisman, Dubinskis

Death of the Sunshine Patriot (front), by Isaac Resnikoff, and paintings by Anda Dubinskis on the walls Isaac Resnikoff’s picnic table looks just right in this hot weather, center stage at Fleisher/Ollman Gallery, part of a three-man show that also includes Anda Dubinskis and Mark Khaisman. On the table sits a mix of carved tools, beverage containers, a hand as umbrella, fat candles, a guitar, a gas can–all the makings of a summer weekend of puttering around the house, hanging with friend, or pitching woo. The delicate paint drips applied along the side add a nice touch of dripping sweat, ... More » »
