“right now at David Zwirner Gallery, you can dip into one of the weirder artistic rivers of the last 40 years and behold—or participate in—on kawara’s mad epic sculpture–performance One Million Years. the japanese-born, new york–based artist’s rarely seen work is centered around a desk and two chairs in a windowed booth at the center of the otherwise almost empty zwirner gallery. during business hours, two volunteers sit inside the room. one man and one woman take turns reading progressive dates going one million years into the future or into the past. several fridays ago, i spent an hour reading the 875 years between a.d. 38,658 and a.d. 39,533. it was one of the odder hours i’ve ever spent in a gallery.” JS for New York. by dd

worth checking out the Sugimoto show at Gagosian. nothing new but still one of the best, some of the night shots are almost 100% black but you still want them so bad that you feel possessed…
the book, printed for the show, is great too. the design reflect the setting of the gallery, well done! by pp
photographs don’t do them justice but some lovely work from New York Based British artist Tom Bell. To get an idea of scale they span an approximate 6 feet. by dd
“Naming things has something to do with human awareness, with the separation of the entire world from you. So with the Seascapes, I was thinking about the most ancient of human impressions. The time when man first named the world around him…”
