Alex Glauber has put together a very cool public art piece: a painting show in Bryant Park. A very unusual venue for a painting show, but i think it will be an unusually good show. After a conversation that we had over a beer about the frustrations associated with making art in a pluralist context where everything goes, Alex came up with the excellent idea of making a show in ...

I am in the XMAS show at GALLERY POULSEN. I won’t be able to make it to the opening, which is a great shame because the dynamic and courageous Morten Poulsen throws really incredible opening parties.

For my part, Morten will show my newest painting, ... CONTINUE TO POST »

I plan to spend the holiday weekend giving thanks ... CONTINUE TO POST »

I’m in a group show in Bergen, Norway. When the gallery wrote me with the name i miss read it and based my work on the original Phil Collins song title, “50 ways to leave your lover”- so i drew 50 empty beer cans, as i figured that is one way you could exit. I guess if you wanted to keep your lover it would be best not to drink ... CONTINUE TO POST »
