Roaming the Cultural Landscape. Wednesday, July 02, 2014. Pearl Lam Gallery, Shanghai: Treasures in the back room, upstairs, and downstairs. Two months in Shanghai has cultivated my desire for ink: to absorb its tonalities, practice painting with it, and to see more examples of it. In the Swatch Art Peace Hotel library, I found a beautiful, hardcover catalog for the 2012 exhibition Chinese Contemporary Abstract, 1980s to Present. Pearl Lam's inaugural Hong Kong shows curated by Gao Minglu,. Iranian artis...

Roaming the Cultural Landscape. Sunday, November 24, 2013. Nature in Chelsea and LES. Julie Heffernan, painting detail from "Self Portrait as Emergency Shipwright," 60 x 84 inches, from her recent solo at PPOW, "Sky is Falling." Typical in her work, close views reward surprises. Heffernan conflates grand visions of nature with pessimistic perspectives on where it is headed, described in a HuffPost interview here: Heffernan HuffPost Interview Link. Color temperatures wend through dystopias and utopias.

Roaming the Cultural Landscape. Sunday, May 25, 2014. K11 Concepts Limited; K11Art Mall. In this video (context below) Marilyn smokes and at one point Warhol appears top left. The colors change and smoke emits. I visited K11 to see Monet's first exhibit in Mainland China, located on the bottom floor of the mall. The works were borrowed from the Marmatton Monet in Paris. Having visited the Marmatton in 2006 in a life changing experience of the late paintings, I wanted to see them again. Speaking with a K1...
