jameskalmroughcut | Ann McCoy, Paulina Peavy and Olga Spiegel at ANDREW EDLIN Astrid Dick Erika Ranee at M DAVID & Co @jameskalmroughcut | Uploaded November 2022 | Updated October 2024, 6 hours ago.
James Kalm pastes together visits to some current exhibitions, featuring women artists, that seem to reflect today’s concerns with “painting”, and the “spiritual”.
Although most of the works that Andrew Edlin has curated into this three-person show are over thirty years old, they’re in harmonic dialogue with much contempory production, and reinforce the notion that some creative talents are perpetually living in the future. This is the first show by Ann McCoy at the gallery and brings three large color pencil works together with another first-time gallery exhibitor, Olga Spiegel. Paulina Peavy with her authentic spiritualist practice provides an historic background to the other worldly images of the younger artists. Then viewers can make a brief dip into Laurie Simmons “Color Pictures/Deep Photos 2007-20022” at 56 Henry Gallery. Simmons is a key player in the “Pictures Generation” and these small assemblage works pare miniature furniture with conceptually layered photos of erotica that parody the macho image of the 1950s Art World. Finally, we pedal out to 56 Bogart Street, the center of what remains of the Bushwick art scene, for a tour of “Painting Paintings: A Leap of Fate Astrid Dick / Erika Ranee” at M. David & Co. with banter and commentary between your correspondent and proprietor Michael David. This program was recorded November 10, and 21, 2022. #jameskalmreport #jameskalmroughcut #lorenmunk
