currently in "Stacked" at D'Amelio Terras
If you are boycotting the French right now, you're a loser. They're putting on some of the best shows in town. Additions to an incomplete list:
"Back Grounds," at Andrew Kreps [Dude, get a website!] a show of intricately made B&W photographs by Liz Deschenes, James Welling, and Adolphe Humbert de Molard. Curated by Olivier Renaud-Clement.
"Stacked," a group show of, well, stacked works at D'Amelio Terras.
"Architecture and Furniture by Jean Prouv� at Sonnabend," with Galerie Patrick Seguin, including remarkable 1950 pieces from the Air France office in Brazzaville, Congo.
"The Extravagant Vein," at Marianne Boesky. Drawings, video projection and oil painting by Donald Moffett.
Photographs by gallery artists at Andrea Rosen, including Craig Kalpakjian's proposal for creating an earthwork on the moon (which would, by definition, not be an earthwork).
Douglas Gordon at Gagosian. What's the big deal? Or, more precisely, what's the big deal with "big?"
