sometimes there is a funny art world dialog - that meets in the air - and sets up a song !!
this dialog meets in the street - 24th St !!
and its super fun to note - how the OLAF BREUNING card catches the essence of a counterpoint meeting head-on !!
its super fun to note how the MIN KIM card - with its super distilled yet multi-layered smokily graphic and mysterious, super fem & seriously shaded image - contrasts so diametrically - as in: head on - !! - with the super graphic distilled single line, completely unmysterious - yet talking volumes - super male - cartoon line - of the BREUNING image !!
Min Kim’s in shades of gray - Olaf in pure black !!
polar opposites that sing together - and, well !! - in a nutshell. and they are right across the street from each other.
so you can do the dance - for yourself - in real time !!
BIL BRADY~ATM & METRO PICTURES - making visual music in Chelsea - just in time for the holiday season !!

the new BILL BRADY~ATM space on 24th St - bet 10th & 11th AVE.

in the window - MIN KIM - new works on paper - some of her brand new - self portraits.

they are actually shallow cardboard reliefs.

each one is very different - and pushes the envelope. both lyrically & visually.
Min Kim’s work is always super edgey and super real. as in: super real original !!

Min Kim - oh me oh my - as a blonde !!

Min KIM - the trick is always - in the eyes !!

MIN KIM and BILL BRADY - at the opening.
