JUST IN FROM PARIS !! .. for its summer exhibit the Atelier Cardenas Bellanger is pleased to announce a 2 person show of the New York based artists: BRIAN BELOTT and MICHAEL MAHALCHICK. <\/p>\n
… “both artists employ a certain obsessive-compulsive sensibility for accumulating traces of their creative gestures; and yet this explosive gestural expression is contained in tight, compact forms. It is this sensibility that creates an almost child-like play between retention and expulsion. Both artists also share, albeit in different ways, a certain debt to the ready-made, with both creating their work based on objects and graphics with a pre-determined history, lending their work a certain hint of nostalgia.” – from the press release – … the French way of saying things, is so interesting, you can see an immediate cultural shading, so different from our own.<\/p>\n
Its worth checking out the Atelier Cardenas Bellanger<\/a>, PARIS website. They’ve put on some really interesting shows, several, looks like at least 3, involving downtown’s favorite artist & musician, DEVENDRA BANHART. “Yo mire un garza mora dandole combate a un rio” a group show, that ran from Oct 8-Nov 12, 2005, was curated by Devendra and included work by MATTEAH BAIM, VASHTI BUNYAN, WILL LEMON & RED BONE SLIM (Bianca Cassady).<\/p>\n (can you remember the summer CANADA first showed Devendra’s works & they were going for $200 a piece – Art Lovers can: check out: artnet archives 2003<\/a>) & scroll down to the JUNE 14, 2003 CANADA show – “You Are My Sunshine, You Is My Sunshine”)<\/p>\n There also appears to be a show in the works at Atelier Cardenas Bellanger, for the DANIEL REICH artist, L.
