All Things Art & Photography
As always with the big art fairs you have to wade through the bad and ugly to find the good (or in my case something with a quality transcendence).
A couple of works that stick (way) out from the pack from the Parcours Projects at Art Basel 2016 (which are all the big installation works all over town). The Allan McCollum Shapes Project Spinoffs 2005-2016 is a real knockout as well as Bernar Venet’s Arcs in Disorder

“If the doors of perception were cleansed everything would appear to man as it is, Infinite. For man has closed himself up, till he sees all things through narrow chinks of his cavern.” William Blake

Mathematical Drawing and the Infinite
I need more
more than what I can hear
what I can hold
more than what i can see
and what I can touch
I need more that i can feel
but not with my body
with my soul
i need something i can feel like i can feel the moon’s white light
like i can feel a passing stranger’s smile
like i can feel the ocean’s tide sinking deep into my being
and the leaves swaying as they fall from the trees and land gently on the ground
more is what life is
It’s what makes life worth it
to sit outside and to feel what is being said not by those around you
but by the energy and sensations that guide you to true feeling
and true meaning

A must see retrospective exhibition by a remarkable and mercurial artist. A rare chance to see some of his best work.
“I can’t stand art actually. I’ve never, ever liked art.” So the artist David Hammons told the art historian Kellie Jones in a 1986 interview. Then why do you make it? Ms. Jones asked. Because, Mr. Hammons offered, art is about symbols and “outrageously magical things happen when you mess around with a symbol.” (via New York Times article).
David Hammons: Five Decades” runs through May 27 at Mnuchin Gallery, 45 East 78th Street, Manhattan; 212-861-7858, www.mnuchingallery.com
