Champagne Baggage

Robert Strati’s series “Creating Civilizations”… .the artist suffers with Labyrinthitis,a dizzying condition with vertigo like symptoms.

His series, evokes a certain formal-abstraction reminiscent of the building blocks of our world-a blue print of creation and life, but turned upside down, much like the artist’s world.

Take a closer look, peer through someone’s glasses and then ask yourself- … how do you see our world?

Jonathan Paul’s “Desire Obtain Cherish”

“I can’t wait till I grow up, get married, have two kids, spend more money than I make, take xanax, and tell everyone how happy I am ;)”

 

(A bit obvious, but who doesn’t like large-pretty things)

The aim is to provide the public with a unique feeling, which is related to a specific location and an exact moment in time, forming a collective memory between all participants.  In this way, the possibility of loosing the aura has been excluded – the aura ‘is’ when the art ‘is’, and the art exists only at that time when the aura is simultaneously present. So through my work I try to represent a precarious situation of the world in a way that the piece exists only in the context in which was generated and it can’t exist out of it. The reproduction of an artwork would require similar conditions but a different configuration, which finally would become a different piece.

Tonight was the final night off Yvette Mattern’s “Global Rainbow” here in New York, the artist retitled the piece ” Global Rainbow, After the Storm”… very fitting.

Thank you Art Production Fund and the Standard for an international and uplifting display.

Its back…well, one of them is. One of Francis Bacon’s “Pope” paintings is up for auction. (With an estimate of 18 to 25 million) 

Delish.
