YO !!! ALINE KOMINSKY CRUMB & R. CRUMB FANS !!!!!!
LIVE FOOTAGE OF THE RECENT ALINE KOMINSKY CRUMB OPENING !!
ANNIE PEARLMAN was interviewed on camera by ILANA ARAZIE,
at the ALINE KOMINSKY CRUMB opening, who posted this video clip:
‘REEL CITY TALES – V: Life as Art’
… what makes it so compelling, apart from all the actual footage of the opening,
is … it turns out that the camerawoman & narrator,
ILANA ARAZIE, (the blonde at the beginning and end of the clip) turns out to be
an actual real-life cousin of ALINE’S – so there’s all these small intimate comments only
a real inside family member could make, .. PLUS ! she points out Aline’s “2nd husband” .. and makes sure to catch the notoriously evasive R. CRUMB in the opening crowd.
Annie says she was interviewed at random.
Talk about being in the right place at the right time.
ANNIE PEARLMAN is an artist, who works alot with music and web-based videos.
She also happens to be the girlfriend of BRIAN BELOTT. She grew up in VERMONT,
but now lives and works in Brooklyn, NYC.
She also has alot of advanced web skills and maintains a pretty extensive & interesting site:
www.anniepearlman.com
ILANA ARAZIE also has an interesting website:
www.ilanadonna.com
love that soundtrack !!!

(image: DIFC Gulf Art Fair 08-10 MARCH 2007 brochure)
The first ever DIFC GULF ART FAIR opens tonight. It runs from 08-10 MARCH 2007.
It takes place in DUBAI, UAE (United Arab Emirates), which wants to add another
“must-be” destination to the already over-taxed schedule of wealthy collectors.
or seen another way, brings …
high end/high priced “blue chip” art directly home to the mother lode of petro dollars.
(right off the bat – the locale sure looks a lot better than the Armory piers !!)
Some of the 40 international galleries participating:
Diana Lowenstein MIAMI
Galerie Enrico Navarra PARIS
Malca Fine Art NEW YORK
Max Lang NEW YORK
Sundaram Tagore NEW YORK
White Cube LONDON
Albion LONDON
the above image – on the brochure is: :
MARIKO MORI, Beginning of the End (Future), 1996-2006,
Jumeriah, Dubai, courtesy the artist and Albion, London
note: that’s MARIKO MORI in one of her spaceship bubbles in the foreground.
Go for it boys: go get those petro dollars and bring them back home, at least we have something they want ….. who’d have ever thought it .. artists .. contemporary artists, no less .. key to Western economic stability.
guess we really are a decadent, or dying civilization, reminds us of the ROMAN’S love for Greek art, or our own fascination with our vanquished Native American art. Next on the agenda: petro dollars franchise The Louvre ! (price: approx US$540 million)
now, if only it was just as cheap for hordes of dead broke artists to hop a plane to Dubai, as it is to grab a cheap flight to Miami ! they’d have it made. .. the beach looks great.
but better leave the ‘bad’ coke at home !
… the fair must be kosher, New York City slang for “alright” – its got artnet.com listed as a sponsor . .. has WALTER ROBINSON finally hit the big bucks for covering an ART FAIR ? and what’s this, OMG – can there really be a “TimeOut – DUBAI” ..
and . . . just what exactly is that ‘DIFC gulf art fair’ logo design trying to say. . .
(1st image below – on the lower right hand corner ?)
above images: also from the DIFC Gulf Art Fair MARCH 2007 Brochure
(that top row reads: “ASAL”, “artnet.com”, “TimeOut-Dubai” & “canvas”)
UP DATE: MARCH 14, 2007: .. early buzz back from the fair – was that it was a “bust” – with less than expected sales.

the article seems to be in Azerbaijani and its impossible to find an English translation, but still working on it… the VOA doesn’t seem to be forthcoming about providing English translations !!! isn’t that counterintuitive to its mandate ? looks like you’d need a real serious legal order to find out what’s really in that article. scary.

THE GAWKER CHIMES IN ON THE “DASH SNOW/NO-SHOW”
‘A Cloudy Day’s Epiphany’ curated by SIMON CERIGO

~DASH SNOW: EPIPHANY |
Posted in The Bomb | By Nancy Smith | March 8th, 2007, 4:40pm
the card for: ‘A Cloudy Day’s Epiphany’ curated by SIMON CERIGO,
with DEVENDRA BANHART, ANDREW GUENTHER, BRENT RIDGE,
DASH SNOW and VALAIRE VAN SLYCK, running from MARCH 1 – APRIL 14, 2007
at DINTER FINE ART in Chelsea.
the image used for the card is based on a small drawing by ANDREW GUENTHER – ‘riding on the moon juice’, 2002, colored pencil on paper, 12 x 9 ins.
we were disappointed that the drawing itself is not included in the show – although it was put on the card because it “expresses the theme of the show ” – S.C.
the card was featured on the artlovers homepage of FEB 28 – MARCH 6, 2007, and although it is a male only show, the other artists featured on that homepage as of interest, interestingly enough turned out to be women only !
BIRGIT MEGERLE at DANIEL REICH
FRANKIE MARTIN at CANADA
JUSTINE KURLAND at MITCHELL-INNES & NASH
YAYOI DEKI at atm
and, last but not least, CAROL BOVE at BELLWETHER
which led to an artlovers EPIPHANY:
.. . which began with the thought: “It’s a man’s world … but it wouldn’t be anything .. without a woman or a girl” – the recently departed, the now, late & great JAMES BROWN !!!
and then, looking back at Andrew’s drawing . . we wondered if it wasn’t a very freudian take, if not an actually deliberate & literal graphic take !! .. on that very sentiment … “riding on the moon’s juice” .. indeed !!!
photos from the opening to post shortly

ANDREW GUENTHER, outside a GAVIN BROWN’s enterpise opening, Oct 11, 2003. West Village, NYC
… the sweatshirt reads: “DEICIDE”
Simon Cerigo reports, from the opening day of the ARMORY ART FAIR, that one of the gems to
seek among this huge selection of artwork, is the big painting by ANDREW GUENTHER at the
GREENBERG, VAN DOREN booth. (3 booths to the left of the main entrance)
Simon says this painting is even better than the painting Andrew recently exhibited at ZIEHERSMITH and could be called .. “psychedelic”.
