Blackston Gallery is by far the most elegant L.E.S. space. It has exhibited the brilliant Pia Dehne more than once, and its proprietor, Rhiannon Kubicka, whom I met for the first time, reminded me of ’30s movie star Irene Dunne. In other words, all class and nothing but. The show of double-exposed, black-and-white photos by Glynnis McDaris was kind of a mix of Sol LeWitt and Clifford Ross…

Justin Adian (b. 1976, Fort Worth, TX) manipulates painterly surfaces into playful psychosexual conglomerations. Canvas is wrapped tightly around bulbous upholsterer’s foam and sprayed with sleek industrial paint, its contours overlapping in tantalizing ways.

Till dust gathers on grass

SPRING/BREAK Art Show: Apocalist, The Old School, 233 Mott St, New York, March 6 – 11, Reception: Tue, March 6, 6 - 9pm

http://www.springbreakartshow.com/about/

SPRING/BREAK Art Show, the new curator-driven art fair during the Armory Arts Week.  The fair will inhabit Old School, a four-story schoolhouse located in NoLIta from March 6^th – March 11^th, 2012.

Featuring the projects of 23 curators, the show will abandon the traditional focus on galleries – offering a “break” from the typical art fair model – and showcase a range of New York City’s curatorial voices, all surrounding a single exhibition theme - Apocalist: A Brief History of The End.

Inspired by the palpable feeling of anticipation, panic, wonder, and/or dread provoked by the Mayan calendar prediction that the world will come to an end this December,  Till dust gathers on grass, is a group exhibition that features work by  Lisha Bai,  Coley Brown, Myla Dalbesio,  Glynnis McDaris,  Brent Owens, Jennifer Sullivan, Kevin Trageser, Grace Villamil, Pete Voelker, and Richard T. Walker, artists working in the footsteps of Romanticism in 2012. A return to nature was a common reaction to the Industrial Revolution in the late 18th century and the social and cultural parallels today are undeniable, with the exponential pace of globalization and expansion of major cities.
