The Dependent

Tamara Gonzales, with James Fuentes.

The Dependent Art Fair, the one-day art fair at the Comfort Inn.

Each of these three artists has a current show up... all good... I will post photos soon: Tamara Gonzalez at Norte Maar, Michael Mahalchick at Canada, Dave Hardy at Regina Rex.


1-Day Bed-In.

Michael Mahalchick and Debbie Tuch, with Canada. I youtubed it.


Dave Hardy, with Regina Rex.

A sculpture on each bed... the palette matched the room, balanced on glass(?), the foam was hardened somehow... I went to Regina Rex the next day these were so good.

John McAllister

John McAllister, at James Fuentes, closes 6/27th.

i was told he worked as night security at the met for a while and spent a lot of time looking at those paintings alone... supposedly all of the famous paintings incorporated here are in the met.


the upstairs is now gallery space... it was his kitchen (he - fuentes - used to live upstairs)... i like spaces like this, with radiators, molding, and textured walls.

i noticed the radiator at rachel uffner disappeared but i think it's because she removes it in the summer when it isn't needed.

Agathe Snow, at James Fuentes.


They're like mobiles... everything is suspended from curtain rod axis, hanging from the ceiling. James Hyde once referred to the mobile as a "ruined genre".... loved that.

These pieces are each based on individual fables by Leonardo da Vinci... I don't know any of the fables but wished that I had... very much enjoyed the sense of (backstage) theatricality and invention. It felt like a rich full magical narrative was mid-suspension.
