I remain an absolute sucker for any #drawing series where the artist unspools their thought and labor across an aggregate of minute volumes that bring making and viewing closer to reading & writing.

Intimate flat work by #LouiseBourgeois in ‘Gathering Wool’ at Hauser & Wirth. These small works, between painting, drawing,& relief, hint at whole other possible cosmologies she might have explored.

Adventures with public sculpture, or, I’m pretty sure that’s not supposed to be leaning like that…

It’s impossible not to think about the construction of spaces, and how we read them. These are flat stretched canvases and yet the paintings tease and hide their making.

Nicole Eisenman has a great #painting show at 52 Walker Street showing possibilities between representation & the invention of images & meaning through material & scale. These connect to the lineage of grand history & religious paintings while subverting what is a patriarchal form.

New James Siena at Miles McEnery.
Right now I’m thinking a lot about black & white, so this caught my eye, but there’s an intriguing sense of color through the whole show, and the work on canvas results in diaphanous light emanating past an irregular network.

Individual Joan Mitchell drawings…
A great suite of Joan Mitchell drawings as a part of ‘To Define a Feeling, Joan Mitchell 1960 - 1965’ at David Zwirner gallery. I love the use of heavy black charcoal to build a sense of shifting masses out of raw gesture.

#JoanMitchell at David Zwirner Gallery. I love me a triptych. Especially one that plays with subtle shifts in movement and mass across the panels that ultimately affects the viewer’s sense of time in the #painting.

Great #JoanMitchell #painting show at @davidzwirner. These two ( at the beginning and end of the show) break out of a predominantly forest nocturne pallet of deep blues and greens with flashes of color that explode off her gestures.

From completed #painting to work in process. Not completely back to the drawing board, but fixing things that have bothered me as it sits around the studio and gets looked at more and more; it’s still not quite done.

I always enjoy the subtle eccentricities of Richard Rezak’s #sculpture; here are 2 small works exhibited as a part of Luhring Augustine’s “Sliced Tropics & Cosmic Dancers”

“Running Arcs (For John Cage)” at @gagosian is somewhat the expected experience from a #RichardSerra, but it he experience with the #sculpture is still amazing.
Against Serra’s expressed wishes, the attached pics are in color.

Really liked the #CadyNoland framed works that didn’t seem like reprintings or fragments of previous works on aluminum, but then maybe I just didn’t identify the sources for these…
They do have a Christopher Wool vibe that I really like.
