Stas Orlovski on view @ LACMA

If you're in LA, be sure to check out Drawing Surrealism at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA). The group exhibition includes work by our very own Stas Orlovski! Orlovski's newest work involves collage and drawing material applied directly to existing architecture, with overlaid projected animation.

Check out the LA Times review here, and installation pictures below. Please note: all installation photos are courtesy of LACMA.

Fun Day Monday

Just another Monday!! Thanks to HDB!

Some fabulous reading to kick off your week:

Oh Larry....it's been rough.

Everyone loves an interactive tableau.

It's not quite Christmas yet, and I'm already saying, "oh jesus".

Friday Fun Day: Tiny Kale.

TGIF.

Attention for Mark Mulroney's work in our PULSE booth!

SHOUT OUT to the following sources and publications for their mention of Mark Mulroney's work in Mixed Greens' PULSE booth:

JUXTAPOZ: Art Basel 2012

Laura Roughneen over at Art Market Monitor included a photo of our booth as a personal highlight for her. Here's her interview with fair director Cornell DeWitt.

Art Daily shares the good news: a sold out booth!

Art Fag City predicted that the cowboys and "manginas" might make for a tough sell...thankfully, the fair proved hugely successful.

Interview with Fecal Face.

Miami RECAP Part 2

More pics from the fairs:

UNTITLED


This fair surely wins for exhibitor experience--can you imagine standing in your booth all day with those views??


Some standouts from the fair were Martin Roth's seeded rugs, and


Patrick Jacobs' inset wall works, both at POOL Gallery's booth.


Franklin Evans' trompe l'oeil paintings at Federico Luger's booth.

NADA


There were some noticeable trends at this fair, including stripey, loose-geometric paintings in bold color patterns. This is Yui Yaegashi at Misako & Rosen's booth.


And works/collages on found paper materials. This is Martin Neumaier at Parisa Kind's booth.


Color was everywhere at CANADA's booth.


And the pool party was one big blow-up-doll fest...


Complete with floating cinder blocks.


MIAMI PROJECT


GREAT cafe / outdoor lounge area.


There was an artist producing an intricate colored sand drawing near the cafe's entrance--I watched nervously as at least one attendee trampled through it unaware.


Spacious. Lots of light. Not too much foot traffic.

DESIGN MIAMI


This was my first time visiting Design Miami, and I'd happily visit again. Here's the impressive AUDI Robot making carbon fiber chairs.


And this stunning presentation by Perrier-Jouet: "Lost Time" by Glithero is an installation of hanging strands of nickel beads.


ART BASEL


Galerie Micky Schubert, from Berlin--lovely, minimal booth. A breath of fresh air amongst all of the craziness.


And lastly, my Eve and Adele sighting. My art fairing is complete.

Miami RECAP Part 1

PULSE



This year's PULSE Fair was a huge success--Mixed Greens had a nearly sold-out booth as early as Friday afternoon. By the end of the weekend, every framed Mulroney drawing was sold. The crowds flocked to the Ice Palace to enjoy the exhibitor booths, the PULSE projects, the West Collection container, and the hammocks on the lawn.


UNTITLED


The UNTITLED Fair wins for best view. Location, location, location--this fair certainly had it. I was jealous of the exhibitors who had ocean-views all day long. In addition, the small fair was completely manageable--it might have been the only fair where I'm pretty sure I saw EVERYTHING. And I really liked a lot of it.



Art BASEL (a/k/a The Main Fair)

This fair always gives me a headache. It's overwhelming in scale and quality. It's simply too much--it's the Louvre of art fairs. It took me 15 minutes just to find the exit. I love watching uneasy sales assistants shoo unruly children away from Richard Prince's "vintage" Nurse painting at Gagosian's booth. I also love any Eve & Adele sighting. This year both of my wishes came true.


The Miami Project (or is it Miami Art Project??)


Very spacious. Great food. Impressive art. Kind of felt like an older sibling to UNTITLED in terms of art offerings, but it's location lumped it together with the wet noodle fairs (Red Dot, Art Miami, ugh).

SEVEN


SEVEN rules the cool factor. This year's new location was off the beaten path...much further west than everything else in Wynwood. That made for a sweaty arrival, but at least we arrived to a large space that really did feel more like a sprawling exhibition as opposed to a fair. In previous years SEVEN felt like a labyrinth--this year's edition felt like a small museum collection. I wonder how sales work though in that environment??

NADA


NADA is pretty consistent in that it offers a strong selection of cutting edge artwork, and it does so with a carefully balanced mixture of Chelsea professionalism, Lower East Side swagger, Brooklyn DIY, and ironical Boca Raton retirement community vibes. But I was also there on the day of the pool party, so that maybe added to a few of those observations. (LOVE the chandeliers!)
