just in case you didn’t process it \/ re: my last post . .
\nDAN LOXTON, a stubborn & gritty young artist, based upstate, near Hudson NY . .
\ndef caught the current \/ novel corona virus crisis \/ zeitgest in his current show,
\n‘Dan in Real Life’, now up at the Karpeles Manuscript Museum, Newburgh, NY.<\/a><\/p>\n

the tiny invader . . takes on the big institutions, and global humanity.<\/p>\n

and more so, both figuratively and literally, re: pure painterly theory \/ but esp because Dan, as a hardcore indie ‘upstate’ (read: upstart) artist . . showing his work in an out-of-the-ordinary \/ but incredibly beautiful extraordinary location \/ very much represents the underdog<\/strong>, re the established art world \/ and he is a very much a small ‘particle’ – in the mainstream art world food chain, to pack such a great punch \/ such a huge statement.<\/p>\n

the David Goliath myth \/ swings both ways.<\/p>\n

the virus is def taking global humanity & civilization as we know it, or knew it \/ to it’s knees.<\/p>\n

when you factor in, that this show must have been at least several months, in the planning, and as such predates<\/strong> the corona virus attack . . . damn \/ damn.
\nDan nailed it.<\/p>\n

go, go . . indie rebel \/ go, go . . Newburgh !!!
\nwhere you will also find: DANIEL GIORDANO, & VICKI ISLAND \/ SAMUEL BOEHM . . !!!
\njust to mention a few other, out-size \/ local & very ambitious talents . . !! <\/p>\n

\n‘Dan in Real Life’ at . . the Karpeles Museum in Newburgh, NY

\nDAN LOXTON, ‘Master’, 2019.
\nyou, WORLD: bend down before the tiny . . . master !!
\nthe Karpeles pop-up site \/ a very austere & conservative venue \/ def underscores the message of the invader threat vs the widely rooted, in historical establishment & laws of being & commerce \/
\nor: life as we knew<\/strong> it.
\nplus it’s a manuscript . . ‘archive’.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nthe brute quality of the work is really interesting, but so is it’s shallow, fluttering 3-d depth.
\nit comes across as a ‘particle’ – as opposed to a flat surface \/ an ‘invader’.
\nplus . . it has the urgency<\/strong> of a letter being delivered !!
\nharsh news \/ bad news, wake-up call . . . folks,
\nvery very nice.<\/p>\n

note: the exhibit runs thru . . . JUNE 2020 \/
\nnote: call ahead to see if it’s actually still open to the public ?
\nall non-essential locales are now closed.
\nnot sure if this includes small town rural \/ urban museums, but probably, yes. closed. <\/p>\n

\n& pretty much the only way to ‘see’ art – now.
\nNYC & NY State, as well as Jersey, is in corona lock-down.<\/p>\n
