THE SUM AND ALL PARTS – was the best show – in an independent alternative venue – SUMMER of 2009.
\nIts young independent curators, JENNY BORLAND and BEAU RUTLEDGE put a very potent group in action.
\nThe opening, a big party, at the beginning of the summer – was kind of eerie, and special, too. <\/p>\n
First up, it was a somewhat coolish and rainy night – not enough to keep you sidelined, but a drizzle that turned you wet – as you made your way to the space – which was far from mass transit, and led you through what felt like a vacant no man’s land. At one point you could intersect with the huge ghostly spooky McCARREN PARK<\/a> playing fields. but you could also just as easily wander into local fav dive band bar MATCHLESS<\/a> for some of the best MAC & CHEESE around – $4 bucks – buys you a pretty good portion.<\/p>\n Second, it was the first chance to see some new work by KENNY KOMER and BORIS RASIN, in a while, but what made it so special – was that their piece ‘ECONOMICS 101’ – totally rocked !! the spirit of the summer, and also we got to see some of their individual works. never knew Boris was a ‘realist’ painter !! never knew Kenny was an abstract ‘fielder’ !! <\/p>\n
