BIPOLART IS AN INDEPENDENT “CURATORIAL OUTPOST” – LAUNCHED IN 2007 – BY ERIC LAINE – WITH THE GOAL OF “EXHIBITING DIVERSE WORK SIDE BY SIDE” – SO THAT THE RESULTANT “DIALECTICAL TENSION FROM SUCH A CURATORIAL PROCESS” leads to a ‘Bipol.art’ DISCOURSE. (!)

this brings to mind a nifty, unexpectedly resonant little show that was recently up at MAX PROTECH:
(‘little’ . . as in quietly presented – !!)
MARJETICA POTRC – ‘FUTURE TALK NOW: THE GREAT REPUBLIC OF NEW ORLEANS’
JANUARY 12 – FEBRUARY 9, 2008
MAX PROTETCH – 511 WEST 22ND ST. – CHELSEA – NYC
“Selected as a fellow at the VERA LIST CENTER for ART and POLITICS in NEW YORK, POTRC has been conducting research in New Orleans over the past year. She has focused on issues of sustainability, water, and the emergence of new geographic and political territoires based on changing ecology, working to create artworks that address those issues in a larger global context . . .
Operating at the interface of architecture, art and social science, POTRC has conducted research along these lines all over the world . . .
In 2000 she received the HUGO BOSS PRIZE.
‘FUTURE TALK NOW: THE GREAT REPUBLIC OF NEW ORLEANS’ highlights the role of small-scale initiatives as basic building blocks of urban architecture.
The ‘SHOTGUN HOUSE’, the large-scale sculpture in the exhibition, is based on a form typical to New Orleans architecture. Lately this local style has begun to undergo modifications as inhabitants have outfitted their homes with additions that allow them to harvest rainwater and solar power.
The two figurative caryatids that support the roof at the front of the house refer to the origins of the shotgun house style in Greek revival architecture and African tradition. They also stand as literal reminders that New Orleans is being rebuilt by its citizens.” – PRESS RELEASE
MARJETICA POTRC was born in Ljubljana, SLOVENIA, where she currently lives and works.
see: curriculum vitae
MARJETICA POTRC , ‘New Orleans: Shotgun House with Rainwater Harvesting Tank’, 2007 – a view of the rainwater harvesting tank.

AIDAS BAREIKIS – ‘PART TWO: EASY TIMES’ – OPENS TO-NITE !!
THURS – FEB 21, 2008 6-8PM
the show runs: FEB 21 – MARCH 21, 2008
LEO KOENIG INC – 545 WEST 23RD ST. – CHELSEA – NYC
SORRY – LOOKS LIKE THE GALLERY CHANGED THE TIME OF THE OPENING.
on the card it says: 6-8PM, on the gallery website – it now says: 4-5PM.
AIDAS BAREIKIS has a pretty crazy show going on at LEO KOENIG.
The first installment, titled ‘PART ONE: FANCY MEETINGS’ looked like something out of apocalyptic futuristic death match meets the ghosts of ‘PIRATES of the CARIBBEAN’. It was actually a pretty amazing tableau to walk in on.
It ran from Jan 10 – Feb 8th, 2008.
Unlike ‘PART ONE’ – which was multi-colored, to say the least, ‘PART TWO’ – is totally black and white – but it appears to have a slightly more black/noir humorous, almost ‘carnival’ edge. ‘PART ONE’ – was pretty much all in-your-face-scary amazing !!
AIDA BAREIKIS – ‘PART TWO: EASY TIMES’ – OPENS TO-NITE.
ALSO PRESENTING WORKS BY: AARON BREWER, LILY LUDLOW, BILL SAYLOR and ANKE WEYER.
THIS IS ONE SHOW – WHERE – A PICTURE IS DEFINITELY WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS – SO HERE’S SOME PIX !!
first up, ‘PART TWO: EASY TIMES’ – JUST AS IT WAS BEING ASSEMBLED.
AIDAS BAREIKIS starting on the installation of ‘PART TWO: EASY TIMES’
AIDAS BAREIKIS beginning to assemble ‘PART TWO’ – those are his black and white drawings in the background, in the frames on the wall.
AIDAS BAREIKIS – very bizarre life-size figures begin to emerge from their delivery wrappings. Aidas makes all the figures by hand. He rummages second hand stores for the clothes and accessories.
AIDAS BAREIKIS – in ‘PART TWO: EASY TIMES’ the figures are free-standing. in ‘PART ONE: FANCY MEETINGS’ – they were held up by an array of plastic cables and hooks – from the ceiling.
AIDAS BAREIKIS – up close and personal – this could be you !! – the way things are going.
AIDAS BAREIKIS – charming.
AIDAS BAREIKIS – ‘PART TWO: EASY TIMES’ – going up . .
AIDAS BAREIKIS – ‘PART TWO: EASY TIMES’ – going up
AIDAS BAREIKIS – ghostly figures await their resurrection !!
AIDAS BAREIKIS – a cautious, closer look at this curious being – she looks dead – but like trick dead – like, she could turn around and bite you in a nanosecond.
AIDAS BAREIKIS – ok. the last sneak peek – the thing to really see – is how they all assemble – and tell their story !!
this is from the first tableaux – AIDAS BAREIKIS – ‘PART ONE: FANCY MEETINGS’

JOHN HODANY, MICHAEL LAZARUS & CAETANO de ALMEIDA
FEBRUARY 19 – MARCH 16, 2008
ELEVEN RIVINGTON – 11 RIVINGTON ST – LOWER EAST SIDE – NYC
JUST WEST OF BOWERY
Our friend JOHN HODANY is in this 3 person show, the 4th show in this new space run by Director/Curator AUGUSTO ARBIZO. (we’re guessing the space has serious ties to – and – backing from JEANNE GREENBERG – but Augusto isn’t talking – except – to say – “no strings attached” – and we’re like – hey: give a hand to the backers – no matter who they are! we all need all the backers we can get – in this crazy artworld.)

another view of artwork by CAETANO de ALMEIDA
we catch up with JOHN HODANY, he’s outside taking a ciggie break. with him, to the side, ANNA CONWAY
HODANY’S piece was hard to photograph in the room – it was so large – a totally handmade amusement park-type quarter-eating treasure hunting game.
these formally attired guests give some sense of its scale. JOHN HODANY made it all from wood – except the metal parts on the hardware, like bolts, and the security lock arches, for example – & – he also made all the mechanical inner workings. it runs on electricity. it’s timed to have on and off phases.
JOHN HODANY – the red ‘lobster’ claws come down to grab the ‘treasure’ which is a wide assortment of locks !!
JOHN HODANY – the locks !!
JOHN HODANY – the paint job, on the wooden locks and the wooden sculpture, itself – as a whole – was every bit as good, if not better than the woodworking & mechanical workings – most of the time you thought you were looking at metal – until you picked up on actual metal pieces – as in the lock arches.
JOHN HODANY – an example of the ‘very swift’ paint job and the place where the quarters go – & – the joy stick. it was interactive – for real.
JOHN HODANY lightens up a little bit, towards the end of the opening, ANNA CONWAY is with him.
the man who introduced us to JOHN HODANY – BRIAN BELOTT, with ANNIE PEARLMAN. BRIAN BELOTT’S gotta piece in the big MoMA Spring 2008 show about Books on Shelves !!
documentary filmmaker MAX FIERST and artist JEFF CARAMAGNA, good friends of JOHN HODANY’S
ERIN
ANNIE PEARLMAN, in a pensive moment. Annie edited that classic DAVID GREENBERG INTERVIEWS BRIAN BELOTT (at CANADA) clip – we all loved so much !!
CHIE FUEKI – the more we cross paths with her – the more we like her – she’s wild.
oh oh – the-after-the-after party at that German Bar on Rivington St .- some pretty wild rolling and rumbling around on the street – these guys are super fun to hang out with. P-A-R-T-Y !!
JOHN HODANY – says: cool it – what ?- he started it !!!
JOHN HODANY and MAX FIERST – who knew a night on RIVINGTON ST – in the middle of the week on a Tuesday no less, in the almost now totally gentrified Lower East Side – could be almost as rowdy as back in the old days – back in the rockin’ 80s – when BASQUIAT & RICHARD HAMBELTON used to tear up that very same street !! P-A-R-T-A-Y !! – S.P.O.O.K.A.Y !!

ERIK PARKER – ‘BETWEEN THE LINES’
FEBRUARY 16 – MARCH 8, 2008
MARIANNE BOESKY GALLERY – 509 WEST 24TH ST – CHELSEA – NY
ERIK PARKER also opened a show, of works on paper in the PROJECT SPACE, in the small front room of the MARIANNE BOESKY GALLERY, on Friday, Feb 16, 2008. After a long-time association with LEO KOENIG – ERIK seems very happy to be here. Unlike his previously exhibited large canvases, here he presents a small series of drawings on paper, sometimes: 2 to a frame – that seemed much more intense and focused, despite the smaller size, or because of it ? These drawings were also unique from his past work in their utilization of rows of tiny inventive, and ‘serially’ expressive cartoon-type embellishments – essentially – contemporary hieroglyphics. Though colorful, and full of cartoonish imagery – that imagery was often more wicked, than light-hearted – so the work had a real edge – that, close up – seemed very hard, and almost totally dark in spirit.

ERIK PARKER, ‘CORE’, acrylic and ink on paper
detail, ERIK PARKER, ‘CORE’ – one of the more light-hearted, but still – sobering pieces.
detail, ERIK PARKER, ‘CORE’ – those yellow orbs – are reminiscent of those early 80s KEITH HARING metal ‘buttons’ & are about the same size, too.
ERIK PARKER, ‘KEEP IT TOGETHER’ – !!
watch out – there’s always a new wave of young artists wanting to make it to the top. from left: NIKITA SHOSHENSKY & MATTHEW STEINBERG a couple of local talent – NYC boys, who made it thru LaGuardia H.S. and COOPER UNION – and are looking to make the real scene, now. at the ERIK PARKER opening. FEB 16, 2008
ERIK PARKER had a really great card – it was cut from hard card stock – to resemble an old vinyl 45rpm – the lettering was in a great raised typeface – of iridescent cobalt blue.
another drawing in the show, ERIK PARKER, ‘NEVER RUN’
detail, ERIK PARKER, ‘NEVER RUN’
detail, ERIK PARKER, ‘NEVER RUN’ – what do they say – God is in the details ?
. . . no, just remembered – the saying is: the DEVIL is in the details !!!!

unfortunately there are no close-ups – so if you’re in NYC – your gonna have to get up off the couch – and go see the show up live and personal.

gotta run to some OPENINGS !! yo, content is everything. ok. style counts, too.
more to follow !!!
yes, including: MATTHEW STEINBERG & NIKITA SHOSHENSKY !!
but, we’ll leave you . . . with a couple of biggies:
yes!! it was JOSH HARTNETT at the KON TRUBKOVICH – ‘ALMOST NOWHERE’ opening, last night, Friday, FEB 15, 2008, at MARIANNE BOESKY GALLERY, NYC.
PHOTO: NANCY SMITH/artloversnewyork.com
ANDREW GUENTHER, with 3 pieces in the ‘BREVITY’S RAINBOW’ show at CINDERS & the curator of the ‘ONE HUNDRED ARTISTS – ONE HUNDRED T SHIRTS’ show – summer of 2003 – was also, at the KON TRUBKOVICH opening.
on the right, DANIEL JACKSON of SURFACE-TO-AIR (the design collective) & BBLESSING (a small, but groovy retail menswear store on the Lower East Side – which recently scored a big write-up in the NY TIMES STYLE SECTION – and, its pronounced, just Blessing – the x-tra B is for ‘style’), with ARROW, at the KON TRUBKOVICH opening.
wouldn’t be fair to omit – the main man – last night – at any rate, he certainly has a big, and very male, fan base !!
. . . and, that would be KON TRUBKOVICH – opening ‘ALMOST NOWHERE’ – at MARIANNE BOESKY, FEB 15, 2008
. . . VITO SCHNABEL, was also there, but he definitely wasn’t in the mood to be photographed – usually he’s very outgoing, and friendly. he must feel burnt by the recent unfortunate press he got on PAGE SIX, linking him to ELLE MacPHERSON, in a rather stupid way. He made sure that he was followed around, by one of the only 2, gorgeous, and young, leggy blondes in the room.
the card for: KON TRUBKOVICH – ‘ALMOST NOWHERE’ – FEB 16 – MARCH 15, 2008, at MARIANNE BOESKY GALLERY, CHELSEA.
KON TRUBKOVICH – ‘Almost Nowhere’
FEBRUARY 16 – MARCH 15, 2008
MARIANNE BOESKY GALLERY – 509 WEST 24Th ST – CHELSEA – NY
KON TRUBKOVICH’S biggest claims to fame, and no small change, either, seem to be his inclusion in 2 trend-setting international shows: ‘Six Feet Under’ at the KUNSTMUSEUM, BERN; and ‘Uncertain States of America-American Video Art in the 3rd Millennium’ which was curated by DANIEL BIRNBAUM, GUNNAR B. KVARAN and HANS ULRICH OBRIST at the 2nd MOSCOW BIENNALE OF CONTEMPORARY ART, 2007.
His most important show to date, has got to be his debut solo show at P.S. 1 which was curated by the one of the most inspired curators here in New York, and that would be NEVILLE WAKEFIELD. Titled ‘No Country for Old Men’ (!!) – it was presented in 2006.
Raised in Moscow, Russia, till age 11 – he now lives and works in New York. many of his fans at the show seemed to be fellow Russian ex-pats – heavily nuanced, male, Russian conversations floated over the opening chatter. It was evidently apparent that those in attendance, and there were many – were really into the work.
read more about the show – on the: gallery website – press release !!
