Favorite things seen in Chelsea on Saturday:
Brock Enright & Ivan Hürzeler's Forest at Cynthia Broan
You have one more week to see it. Go on the hour and watch the 50-minute film. It's more than worth the time. It's a disturbing Lord of the Flies meets Outward Bound experience.
J Shih Chieh Huang at Virgil de Voldere
The show already closed, but the image may give you some sense of the magical environment.
William Powhida's wall drawing at Schroder Romero/Plus Ultra project space
The image above is a detail for the part that points to Schroeder Romero.
John Pilson's videos at Nicole Klagsbrun
The description for this one is:
In Wisdom and Charisma, a group of middle-aged men, who used to play Dungeons and Dragons twenty years ago, meet after work for a session of the role-playing game. Seated around a corporate boardroom table, the Dungeon Master, dressed in red, leads the others in debating pathways through astral planes and portals of pandemonium while stationary, control room-like, cameras allow for the reactions and silent exchanges between the players to be fully scrutinized. Their clothes and body language indicate their executive occupation and social standing, a strong contrast to their adolescent pastime.
Photos from other shows, plus some images from Williamsburg, will be up on Flickr soon. As always, use the photos (newer) link on the upper left to get to my latest photos.
The best thing from Sunday in Williamsburg was the group show at LMAK Projects, curated by Franklin Evans. It's a top pick on ArtCal, and up for one more week.
Take a look inside the artist's studio. Visit the "Philosophy of One", the studio journal of James Wolanin
