Classic GB - Big Teeth Chomp Brooklyn Museum

January 5th, 2010 • Paul H-O
The (now) Brooklyn Art Museum is famous for it's XXL rotunda that generally locates the new art installations and in this case it's artist Rona Pondick that uses the sprawling space to spread a seemingly indecipherable sculptural miasma. It was called  "Mine". Thus, we enlist the direct causation of said sculpture, curator Charlotta Kotik, to help us understand the big teeth and funny doodads littering the floor. Ms. Pondick is an artist whose work we are use to looking at on the floor as it were. Ms. Kotik, on the other hand, gives us a lively standup chat about the work that does something to decipher Pondick's work, though it's an interesting layer of information that works rather like frosting on a cake of unknown origins. Who cares? Kotik is an amusing intellectual, and it's an unusual dialogue most people haven't experieinced - Walter and Paul and the Museum Curator. 1996
