TOM ECCLES, long time Director of the Public Art Fund,
is leaving his post there to become the Executive Director
of the Center for Curatorial Studies at BARD COLLEGE, FALL 2005.
Tom is pictured above with MARIKO MORI, at the opening reception
for the Public Art Fund presentation of her WAVE UFO.
A huge, essentially lifesize, beautifully constructed & surfaced
spaceship, it was placed in the garden of the IBM atrium in May 2003.
It could seat 2, and visitors were allowed to enter it and experience a
brief simulated ride.
The entrance way is pictured above.

one of the CANADA founders & directors, PHIL GRAUER exhibits
some of his large scale photographs in the CANADA show:
‘Seven Thousand Years of War’. Although they look like cross
sections of large crystal formations – the photographs are actually
shots of: “snowbanks which were spray painted by Sarah Braman
in a Target parking lot in the middle of the night”.
Aidas Bareikis has some intense … ‘end of the world’ like … 3D sculpture/diaramas,
which are ironically all-white, while Sarah Braman
(also a CANADA founder & director) presents some of her hauntingly
prism like, free standing sculptural ‘collages’, as well as some
large, far flung wall pieces thrown up against the wall. .
Seven Thousand Years of War, April 16 – May 15, 2005

In contrast to the DAMIEN HIRST show, at Gagosian, this show of
TIM GARDNER’s new work at 303, reveals a keen and intelligent
grip on the “photographic” aesthetic. Since this aesthetic is the
dominant reference in ‘today’s art world, Tim’s show is a must see
for anybody interested in the contemporary dialogue. His technical
ability is complimented by his sincerity.

Gender Identity Insurgent, TARA MATEIK, visiting Washington,
got bit by a biological agent, in the form of a dog, a border collie.
Not so funny, actually, he got bit in the face & required 26 stitches –
let’s hope the photos from his smash performance – “The Society of
Biological Insurgents” which posted in Art Lovers Photos (2005-04-20)
will cheer him up.
Tara’s performance, was curated by Lauren Cornell, and presented
as part of her DARE series, at FOXY PRODUCTION on Dec 11, 2004.
It was DARE #1 and it was received with great acclaim.
Tara also had a short, extremely lively, video, ‘Intersecticide’, presented at The Kitchen,
as part of: Alter Ego – An Evening of Short Video Works, on
April 19th, 2005. This program was curated by Lauren Cornell
and Henriette Huldisch. photos of the event can be found in Art Lovers Photos
(2005-08-31)
