James Kalm is sleazing through Manhattan’s most trendy artsy neighborhood, Tribeca, on a Thursday evening, when he drops in to view an exhibition by Miles Debas. “Sundowning” the title of this show is a reference to a condition that afflicts older individuals. It induces them into a state of consciousness that makes it hard to distinguish between reality and, competing narratives of reality. The paintings developed from this perspective, seem to coalesce around an archetypical set of elements with spontaneous variations that enhance the symbolic resonance. Using sculptural elements, that add a physical anatomy to the works, gold-leaf, and collage, these pieces combine the decorative legacy of sacred images, with a contempory notion of “what a painting is”.

$Amy Hill Back to Nature at FRONT ROOM GALLERY James Kalm is back on the Lower East Side, and is lucky enough to snag Amy Hill for a brunch-time stroll through of her latest exhibition “Back to Nature”. With this selection of work, Hill reexamines the utopian impulses and illusions that have played such a fundamental role in creating the American psyche. With a salute to the 1960s, the Vietnam War, its political and social turmoil, and drug use, this decade represents a major fracture in American’s assumed stability and foreshadows many of today’s disquieting events. Hill is recognized for her sharp focus renderings and old master like technique, however for this outing, the artist has employed the influences of American folk art, Grant Wood, and even the wide eyed kids of Margaret Keane. This program was recorded Sept. 9, 2018.$
