Something Old, Something New...
Our blog program has been screwed for almost a week now (sorry!), but we finally got it fixed, so look forward to posts now on a regular basis. I've got a backlog for sure! So let's start off by taking a trip to Italy! Mid-February a bunch of us went over to Milan to install the exhibition Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue at Marella Gallery. After all the art got stuck at the airport for three days due to a strike, we finally got the stuff delivered and set off to work...
Here's Ed and Deanna Templeton busily hanging Ed's epic 12 foot wide "Teenage Kissers" installation. I've been trying to get Ed to do this for years and I was so stoked to see it come to life here.
Mike Mills arrived with a small box of paper in his backpack that soon transformed itself into a massive 40 foot wall of 500 small hand-painted rainbows.
You can see those rainbows here. photographs don't do it justice. It is one of the most beautiful and sad things I have ever seen in my life.
Clare Rojas had a large multi-panel wall installation at the back of the room. Hanging along side was a row of wonderful small paintings and collages.
Here's a wider view of the room with Ari Marcopoulos' large photocopy photographs.
At the entry you were immediately bombarded by this massive Barry McGee.
Then again...
Deanna Templeton's grid of photographs was one of the nicest things I've ever seen her do.
Here's a wider view of the main room with Ed's finished Teen Kissers and Mike Mills' video installation dead center.
Matt Leines' wooden tiger.
Ryan McGinley brought the "something blue" part.

Boring…
Super Boring!
I like the Phil Frost stuff. But come on a wall of rainbows on paper - WEAK. Art that looks like it was done by a two year old is not impressive and has been done a ZILLION times. Can Barry McGee please learn how to draw something new other than those stupid faces and lame ass studies of objects...WEAK. Ed Templeton is cool but come on Ed - stop ripping off Larry Clark. The Photocopy Ari pics looks cool too. No wonder this show is on the otherside of the world - it sucks. Next time show me some art that matters to people other than your small group of friends you party with.
