the inside spot for art buzz & events

the beat on the street

The NY art fairs were pumping with energy. Lot’s of buying. Lot’s of selling. Collectors, Dealers, and art lovers galore.

While NY was hopping, Georgia and I hopped over to the Armory Center for the Arts, Northwest space, in Pasadena where California artists Edgar Arceneaux, Vincent Galen-Johnson, Olga Koumoundouros and Rodney McMillian and Canadian artist Matthew Sloly are in residence assisted by fab fabricator Emilio Loza and architect Leigh Jerrard. They are working on an amazing project titled Philosophy of Time Travel, which is a major installation headed in April for one of my favorite museums in New York, the Studio Museum in Harlem. We interviewed the artists and documented the work they have done so far (a few years in the making). We will be keeping you up to date on the happenings with this major art installation. So watch out for it in our News and Views section.

On another note, we have really been developing our Rackroom Gallery line
up. I am thrilled about the artists we are exhibiting in this space.

This Friday I will be interviewing Hope Atherton, whose
exquisite paintings will be exhibited at Patrick Painter from March 3rd through
April 14th. Be sure to hit the opening on Saturday, March 3rd from 6 – 8
pm.

We will feature the interview and slideshow in the Rackroom next Wednesday, March
7th for two weeks.
