James Panero Reviews Doppler Shift
Writing in The New Criterion, Panero calls Doppler Shift "a smart group show, " noting the work of "artists who interest me most these days." There's a nice shout out to Mary Birmingham, the curator; to Mel Prest, who originated the concept; and to me, among others. Click pic for the review
"Textility," curated by Mary Birmingham and myself for the Visual Art Center of New Jersey, Summit (where Birmingham is the chief curator), looked at contemporary painting, sculpture and work on paper in which textile elements were referenced or employed. The exhibition is over, but you can see this exhibition on line. Click on the links below to read and see more.

At least he can paint. Over at Gagosian I hear Dan Colen sold out his $300,000 Pollack like abstract paintings made of bubble gum. The more things change the more they stay the same.
Nice! And at the other end of the spectrum, they were wrapping sold paintings like crazy over at the Affordable Art Fair today.
Wow! That's so good to see. Wonder how long till it hits New Zealand?
Mmm...red dots!
I like this
Good to hear.
Unfortunately, there are two different economies at work in this country. The recession may be over for the very rich and the blue chip artists they patronize but for those of us in the lower tiers I'm not optimistic that much has changed but I'll find out this weekend.
Ever since Damien Hirst sold his own work to himself as part of a group of investors, I haven't looked at red dots quite the same.
