three walls fundraiser

(on the way to the train there was some kind of cool kid bike ride; they shut the street down for hundreds of people like this):



Went to the three walls benefit with Rachel
It was good!



Highlights include web auction, followed by silent auction, followed by live auction (wtf?), weird seizure performance accompanied by a young man engaged in Tom Green-like behavior with a microphone (see above). Didn't make it in time but they also had naked women reading from the script of "The Secretary."

Weird side note:
Rode in an elevator with Chuck Close leaving the Richard Gray Gallery with Allen and our new friend Rachel last Friday.
He's a nice guy!

Mira Schor

A Year of Positive Thinking
Schor is one of those people who I want to not like but can't (for whatever reason). Her writing is more insightful than her painting, I think.

NEXT Art Fair 2010

Some pics from the fair, April 29-May 4, 2010.

New Acquisitions

1st drawing is by Louis De Marco, a part of Project Onward

He makes signs and drawings to help deal with anxiety and autism. Different colors represent different emotions.

2nd piece is by Zach Houston

I traded this for a drawing I had shown at the NEXT art fair a few days ago. He runs a project called Poemstore where he does these awesome poems (on a subject of your choosing) really fast on a typewriter. Both going in the new apartment (once I find it)

Zach's poem (on the primary colors):
