jameskalmroughcut | Nora Griffin at FIERMAN WEST Bobo at O’FLAHERTY’S @jameskalmroughcut | Uploaded June 2022 | Updated October 2024, 6 hours ago.
James Kalm is enjoying the loveliness of a late spring afternoon, and cruising the Lower East Side and East Village when he happens on the debut of the new Fierman West Gallery. The enclave where young galleries are popping up at the bottom of the LES like mushrooms is astonishing. From a mere three or four galleries two years ago, there is now almost a dozen venues. Nora Griffin debuts “Liquid Days” a suite of four intensely colorfully paintings, and assorted small sculptures and studies that seem to harmonize with the abject nature of this rough space. The artist is present, and adds a spontaneous narrative of the work. Zipping north, to the east edge of the East Village, we slip into O’Flaherty’s and experience the multimedia installation “The Association Age” by Bobo(?) This, over the top presentation, depicts a dystopian future in which ideas are cloned for copyright, just like industrial farming clones bioengineered chickens. If the “market” requires “designed poultry” can “cloned art” be far behind? A musical introduction is provided by Pedro Ferro. This program was recorded May 29, and June 4, 2022. #jameskalmreport #jameskalmroughcut #lorenmunk
