Things you should see, if only it weren't too late


Daisy Cutter, detail, John Powers, image:irobase.com

See Landscape Escape a group show at the Crosby street
SlingShotProject. Of special note: John Powers' headscratchingly beautiful sculpture, Daisy Cutter (above); Raphael Renaud's paintings of Marseilles, Cairo, Sao Paulo (which reminded me a bit of RIchter's late 60's Townscapes); and John Cliett's memorable (literally) photos of deMaria's Lightning Field. Read an incredible interview at Cabinet about taking them. Unfortunately, the show closed Sunday.

Mommy, Robert Melee, image: artnet.com
See artist Robert Melee's incredible performance, This is for you, starring a diverse troupe of dancers made up like the main subject of Melee's video, photographs, and installation works, Mommy. Mommy is played (to frequently disturbing effect) by the artist's mother. It's at Judson Memorial Church on Wash. Sq., at 8pm. Tonight. So you missed that one, too. And the Costume Institute Ball's over...

OK, here's one you still have time for. Check out the addition to my Amazon lists, Books I've Read by Tycoons I've Known [with props to Monkey Disaster's Lists-As-Entertainment program]

Since 2001 here at greg.org, I've been blogging about the creative process—my own and those of people who interest me. That mostly involves filmmaking, art, writing, research, and the making thereof.

Many thanks to the Creative Capital | Warhol Foundation Arts Writers Program for supporting greg.org that time.
