See this list now through 10/25
I’m currently redesigning the format of The Two Percent, so in the meantime, here’s a quick & dirty list of my favorite exhibitions in 2 neighborhoods in the order that I walk it:
CHELSEA
Richard Serra @ Gagosian Gallery, 522 W 21st St, ends 12/20
Probably the best thing in the neighborhood now. Don't touch it but you can walk through it. He once said that he "uses steal to sculpt space", so it's really about how the space feels compressed or open or bending as you walk through and around.
Robert Longo @ PACE gallery, 540 W 25th St, ends 10/25
On 3 floors of the gallery - I recommend floor 1 first (left when you walk in), then use the elevators (down the hallway) to go to 2nd & 3rd floor. They look like photographs, but all of these are charcoal drawings on white paper!! You can also go to 7th floor for a video work but I like the drawings better.
TRIBECA
Gabriel Orozco @ Marian Goodman Gallery, 385 Broadway, ends 10/25
I haven’t read too much about this one yet, I just enjoyed seeing the drawings & hearing the music at same time. This show is on 2 floors, so take elevator to 2nd floor.
Donald Moffett @ Alexander Gray Gallery, 384 Broadway, ends 10/25
LOVE LOVE the paintings & technique here. Yes you can take 1 of the bumperstickers (w/ respect).
Maximillian Schubert at Off Paradise, 120 Walker St, ends 12/17
Yes you’re in the right place! take the Elevator to 5th floor!
These are made out of solid cast resin (a glass-like plastic). He paints the sides of them to look like canvas and staples, but they are not canvas.
Hank Willis Thomas at Jack Shainman Gallery, 46 Lafayette St, ends 11/1
The gallery looks very tiny when you first enter, but walk up the stairs a massive amazing space.
If you take a picture of the works on the wall with your flash ON, your phone will reveal hidden images. So turn your flash on and then look at the picture you took of them.
