EXPO notes


EXPO Booths

Friday seemed to be a pretty calm time at EXPO as I assume most people that attended came on Saturday and Sunday. That being said, it was a great opportunity to move around the space and see the work. It was an overwhelming array of work so quite a bit to navigate through. Along with my own performance, I got to loop around the exhibition hall quite a few times and see work that would be difficult to see/experience outside of the galleries. These include:

-A cibachrome print by Gordon Matta-Clark (Rhona Hoffman Gallery)

-A large dish by Anish Kapoor (John Berggruen Gallery)

-Silver-gelatin prints made by Lynne Cohen [complete with Formica frames] (Stephen Daiter)
[not the most student-friendly gallery D:)

-Sebastian Errazuriz's Kaleidoscope Cabinet (Cristina Grajales Gallery)

-Books, catalogs, monographs, other printed matter at the Powell's and Hirsch's booths ($$$)
+often wrapped in plastic but pretty to look at.

Other notable things:

-Photograph of trees during a storm- pretty amazing piece. Very imposing print- large . (gallery not known).

-Drawings on large sheets of paper by someone who mounted the work by making holes in the margins with a hole punch and pining the work to a board- framing it over-top. Very scientific. (Gallery not known)

-Interesting seating arrangement in the center of the hall- seemed to be hub for younger set. Many congregated here in clicks and was perfect for my purposes. It was a good instance of the "white-cube"  (White cube as neutral territory) effect that I noticed myself trying to find as I was pilfering out my goods.

-Terrarium balls (?)
