Peter Acheson at STEVEN HARVEY 11 Women of Spirit Part 6 at SALON ZÜRCHER
James Kalm has been acquainted with Peter Acheson and his painting practice since the late 1990s, and the emergence of the Williamsburg art scene. In the nearly three decades since then, the culturally astute public has witnessed the development of a group of artists who have called this Brooklyn neighborhood home. Chris Martin, Kathy Bradford, Fred Tomaselli, Bill Jensen, Margrit Lewscuk and Amy Sillman are just a few of a cadre of local painters who have garnered critical attention. By moving upstate early in the millennium, and removing himself from the hectic social/political scene the artist has forged his own unique path into local painting lore, while becoming a more mysterious presence. His choice to work on an intimate (small) scale, and to pursue his own hermetic and discordant motifs seems to intentionally work against commercial trends. “The White Album”, curated by Steven Harvey, is a selection of paintings spanning thirty-five years with the commonality of white as a color or concept. Peter Acheson graciously delivers a strolling explanation of the exhibition.
As a Bonus Round, viewers are invited to saunter through "11 Women of Spirit" is the sixth iteration of this show, and was organized by Gwénolée Zürcher as a counterpoint exhibition to this year’s Armory Show. This selection of artists exemplifies the diversity and quality of work that hasn’t received the attention it deserves from many mainstream pundits. A musical introduction is provided by The Meetles. This program was recorded on September 10, 2022. #jameskalmreport #jameskalmroughcut #lorenmunk
