JOE BRADLEY, 'Framed Picture No. 3', 2006, ($3,200), (Courtesy CANADA), Goose Steppin', atm Gallery, Nov 30, 2006 - drop-dead, dead-pan beige, what is it about Joe Bradley's paintings, that no matter how abstract they are - they have human souls? is it the proportions... or the sense of humor that resonates within the color field?

look at that, 2 honchos on the same page, Walter Robinson of artnet, (above) and here's KNIGHT LANDESMAN of ARTFORUM, with BRENDAN CASS, at the opening of Brendan's 'EUROPA', FREIGHT+VOLUME, Dec 1, 2006 - note Knight's body language, he holds his umbrella like an assault rifle! Brendan's cracking up, because the artlover behind the camera, just said .. "I hope you're not going to stab me in the back with that, the minute I turn around.."

at the same time, BRIAN BELOTT'S, ill-named: 'DEEP DATA' (?), in the PROJECT SPACE, FREIGHT+VOLUME, DEC 1, 2006

.. turn the corner and find BRIAN BELOTT'S .. 'DEEP DATA' .. is actually a beautifully festive and charming CHRISTMAS TREE OF BOOKS, FREIGHT+VOLUME, Dec 1, 2006

BRIAN BELOTT, the framed sign on the wall, at right, says: "PLEASE HANDLE THE BOOKS" - the wall covering is a serendipitous touch - he found these discarded stage prop backdrops, on the street, on the way to install the show. FREIGHT+VOLUME, Dec 1, 2006

BRIAN BELOTT, the bottom rung of the CHRISTMAS TREE - the books are made with children's super hard double-cardboard 'toddler' stock and then hand painted, so in effect, yes, they can be handled, and they are really 'sculptures', within themselves. FREIGHT+VOLUME, Dec 1, 2006

BRAN BELOTT, the middle 'rung', when you walked by the piece, it's almost as if it was an 'animation' - the books sold individually for approx. $1,000 - last I heard, he sold 4. FREIGHT+VOULME, Dec 1, 2006
