GEO LOCO – THE REIMAGINED LANDSCAPE – GROUP SHOW

Paul H-O — Sun, 30 Oct 2011 23:12:28 +0000

Here’s the card. The line-up. The locator map. Curated by Henry Sanchez and including Phil (Brainpan) Beuhler, Carla (RunningDear) Gannis, Eve Andrea Laramee, Eto Otitigbe, then around the block to Curator Sanchez. Mash that landscape, boys and girls! Now if the L rain is running on Saturday the 5th… The equivalent of a good review is ‘preview’, and I say do the preview, so do it.

Piece of Mind Cake

Paul H-O — Tue, 17 May 2011 17:35:56 +0000

Serendipity, cohesion, and conceptual width. Until May 28 at Elga Wimmer PCC 526 West 26th Street #310 New York, NY 10001 ARTISTS: Gabriel Barcia-Colombo, Melanie Bonajo, T.R. Ericsson, Faith Holland, Yeji Jun, Lisa Levy, Sono Osato, Carrie Mae Rose, Jason Swift, Jil Weinstock
http://www3.fitnyc.edu/artmarket/pieceofmind/pr.html What happens when a fresh faced group of twelve F.I.T. graduate student curators spend a year combing the New York art base from galleries to studios? Not only do they come up with ten artists, two of whom are GalleryBeat artists that work with us on production, but their professor is John Post Lee of Bravin Lee Projects. Seredipity, cohesion, and conceptual width. What I like about this particular set of artists and curators is happy enthusiasm, even from veteran artists who catch the bubbly vibe of the F.I.T. tribe right down to a guy as cranky as me, and their teacher, John Lee.

Judy Rifka Wrecks Hotel Room – GBM Exclusive

Paul H-O — Mon, 07 Mar 2011 00:16:50 +0000

WHEN ART STARS TRASH – Where: DUAL @ POOL Art Fair @ The Gershwin Hotel NYC

Did art star Judy Rifka have it in for Billy The ArtStar? (BTA) There is conjecture on the subject when during yesterdays press interview with BTA. As he was talking about his new work all attention was suddenly diverted as Rifka began taking the room apart. Can Judy play nice with others? Dr. Lisa Levy gives analysis for GalleryBeat at the scene, DUAL.

Dual @ Pool Art Fair

Paul H-O — Sat, 05 Mar 2011 18:56:30 +0000

If Facebook is Any Indication…

DUAL – curated by Savannah Spirit. Artists include BTA, Chambliss Giobi, Max Langhurst, Christopher Lee, Tara Meisenheimer, John D. Monteith, Judy Rifka, Sadie Weis, Agnis Zotis, Frantic F Emme (performance)

In the battle of the art fairs this weekend I wouldn’t even dare to put odds on anything other than to say the Gershwin Hotel has a head start on eccentric. It is a genuine oddity and a throwback to another decade from the last century. In the location (7 E 27th St. NYC) just look for the red building with huge white horn shaped things protruding from the facade. In that is it’s strength. Savannah Spirit has some very strong artists in her suites and it’s looking very good as a hometown team. The Duel rooms were mobbed in one, and quiet in the other for the press preview but I’m sure that is changed by now. As for Pool, it is all over the map. It’s actually in some cases, astoundingly a free-for-all for any artist or rep that can come up with the $1600 to get a room. It’s the anti Armory Show. There are some true believers and it just pulls on your heart. You may not like some of these unrepresented artists work at Pool, but there are some like Judy Rifka, Chris Lee, and John D. Monteith to name three that know what they’re doing, and it looks mighty good against the dozens of other artist suites at Pool.

I Like the Art World and The Art World Likes Me

GalleryBeat Media Report: GO SEE THE SHOW OPEN UNTIL MARCH 5

Curated by Eric Doeringer, this artist manque group show (look it up) delivers a number of blows against the Empire. Exhibited in the less spacious gallery it inhabited in Chelsea, even the non-profit Elizabeth Foundation in it’s present space serves as a gritty reminder that all is not well in the art world masked in image maintenance. They could use some shades, that would help. The show itself is hilarious and informative while exhibiting an excellent skill set of art that dares to critique artist and the establishment the artist so dearly wants to be part of, maybe.

EFA Project Space, 323 W 39th St. NYC Part 1 Hosted by Paul H-O and Lisa Levy assisted by Phil Beuhler. GalleryBeat. net is almost non-commercial, we’d like to change that.

GalleryBeat Talk Show #4 Highlights Composer Pat Daugherty – Part 2 of 6

Paul H-O — Thu, 10 Feb 2011 18:47:26 +0000

The amazing and versatile composer/musician Pat Daugherty entertains us with stories and music from his recent exploits with Snoop Dogg, Ornette Coleman, David Bowie, and Los Ballets des Folkloricos. Paul spills water on his laptop and Lisa loses track of the guest line-up. Very GalleryBeat.

From the Cooking with GalleryBeat Live Show at BravinLee Programs in New York on 1/29/11. Hosted by Paul H-O and Dr. Lisa and starring Phoebe Hoban (author of the new biography on painter Alice Neel), Pat Daughherty (composer/musician working with Snoop Dog to Ornette Coleman).

Talk Show Rocks

Paul H-O — Mon, 31 Jan 2011 18:23:08 +0000

The Cooking with Gallerybeat Talk Show went quite well and was in fact, oversubscribed as standing room went out into the hallway of BravinLee Programs. Video and reporting coming right up – soon.

Hosted, as always, by GalleryBeat’s own Paul H-O and Dr. Lisa Levy, with her Rx pad at the ready. Artist Jim Torok is on exhibition, Rev Jen, Fuzzanova, Hula hoop artist Jacqui Becker and gallerist visionary HUDSON of Feature Inc. were also on the bill.

Jaclyn Santos of “Work of Art” Intimate and Unguarded with Dr. Lisa

Lisa — Thu, 01 Jul 2010 08:24:30 +0000

Dr. Lisa performs psychoanalysis on Jaclyn Santos at the open call line at White Columns for the Bravo, “Work of Art” show last July, before Jaclyn even was reviewed by Bravo for the show. Jaclyn discussing the pros and cons of being a beautiful, sexy artist and using her persona. She says all artists have personas, some use them more or less.

Paul H-O — Wed, 02 Jun 2010 20:07:44 +0000

This is the second tremendous blow to the fine arts in New York; the first being GalleryBeat itself, then the bold move into creating a GalleryBeat Talk Show that puts everyone in the artist’s seat, and it burns, baby. But it’s only art, and it’s alive!

Taped LIVE on April 19th, at Pierogi 2000, 177 North 9th Street, Williamsburg, Brooklyn, New York.

This show includes guests Fuzzanova, Jim Torok, Reverand Jen, Oliver Wasow, HUDSON, Jaqui Becker with Syrie Moskowitz and hosted by Dr. Lisa Levy and Paul H-O.

Interview of New Yorker cartoonist, Edward Koren, with Dr. Lisa

Lisa — Thu, 27 May 2010 18:56:07 +0000

In this interview at the Luise Ross Gallery on May 1, 2010, Dr. Lisa turns her sights on getting to the bottom of what makes star New Yorker cartoonist, Edward Koren tick. He’s complicated but his love of drawing and firefighting are obvious.

Btw: Note to Ken Johnson of The NY Times re this comment: “But he is not a big risk taker, and not one to stir up the censors.” I find it hard to perceive a man who runs into burning buildings is not a risk taker. -Dr. Lisa

“Edward Koren: The Capricious Line” continues through June 12 at the Wallach Art Gallery, Schermerhorn Hall, Columbia University, Morningside Heights; (212) 854-7288, columbia.edu/cu/wallach. “Edward Koren: Parallel Play, Drawings 1979-2010” is on view through June 2 at the Luise Ross Gallery, 511 West 25th Street, Chelsea; (212) 343-2161, luiserossgallery.com.

Dr. Lisa interviews artists at the open call for Bravo TV’s “Work of Art/The Next Great Artist”.

Lisa — Fri, 23 Apr 2010 15:17:31 +0000

Needy artists are instant fodder for Dr. Lisa’s psychological curiosity.

This video was created last August when Dr. Lisa spent 2 days interviewing the hundreds (thousands?) of artists, outside of White Columns, who are vying to be cast in the new Bravo TV reality show, “Work of Art, The Next Great Artist.”

Artist Fred Tomaselli on Cooking with GalleryBeat

Paul H-O — Tue, 13 Apr 2010 23:48:04 +0000

Good friend and top-drawer artist Fred Tomaselli gives Lisa and Paul the inside scoop on his work and the artworld.

This show was taped on February 13th, 2010, at the Frederieke Taylor Gallery in Chealsea and the first talk show. Try it, it just gets tastier as the acid kicks in.

Live with Dr. Lisa and the Host Guy – Friday the 9th April

Paul H-O — Tue, 06 Apr 2010 00:49:16 +0000

Come to hipster-shitty Williamsburg to an event that isn’t artsy /hipster and not cool! Thus it’s un-cool and pissing irony but fun and we just get down on the love for our guests and that is enough ands, and we are doing it because it’s our amazing and not-amazing because we’re like terrible capitalists. But in a really good venue, Pierogi 2000!

GALLERYBEAT VS ECOARTSPACE

Paul H-O — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 21:41:48 +0000

Everybody loves Amy Lipton and that goes 2x for me. She leads up Ecoartspace East Coast.
Therein lay the rub. Ecoological art hasn’t quite made it over the hump. At least as a form of documentation that will rivet me to what I’m seeing. It’s a bit of a high school science fair with Birkenstocks. Lord knows I/we tried but it was just challenging. Our experiences with artist participants was mostly brittle but when we were left to our own devices then we had fun. It was like talking about a Prius, it’s odd, a bit ducky, gets great gas mileage, the owners feel righteous, and we really want a Porche.

Jane Fine @ Pierogi 2000

Paul H-O — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 21:27:22 +0000

Paul and Dr. Lisa visit Pierogi 2000 to see the Jane Fine show and try to get into the head of the artist with all of the interpretive power we can muster. We don’t usually do that – preferring to let the work speak on it’s own, and we haven’t talked to Jane Fine for a better insight. No we do it cold turkey, even with absurd distractions.

Yet in the end the work is the work, and it’s mighty Fine, distinctively complex with intuitive eruptions of emotive execution. The show was back in the fall 2009, and we use the critical calendar set by Art in America Magazine, where timeless is months behind.

AN UNSPOKEN INFIDELITY AGREEMENT

admin — Fri, 11 Dec 2009 01:52:57 +0000

Hi Dr. Lisa-

I’ve been married to a wonderful woman for 5 happy years. The issue is my art work is highly sexual and needs to be continuely fed new inspiration so I can continue to create. My wife knew what my painting was all about when she married me. I always assumed from her seeing my work, that she knew anonymous sex was part of my process. In other words, I have sex with other women, but I don’t discuss it with her.

I guess with this whole Tiger Woods thing now I’m getting a bit paranoid. This unspoken don’t ask don’t tell arrangement has me somewhat anxious lately, as my wife is talking about getting pregnant and I want to have a more secure arrangement before we have a child. When we got married, I thought that maybe someday we would have kids, but I didn’t know that 5 years of sleeping around would go so fast.

So, do I tell her or go with the status quo which has been working quite well? My painting is important to me and I don’t want to have to give it up. The married sex just doesn’t work for me.

Tight Lipped

Dear Tight-

Let’s be honest. Sleeping around is fun. And using your painting as a reason to do it and not tell your wife is a load of crap to you, me, her and likely everyone reading this letter, although I do think YOU believe that you think your painting is a legitimate reason for having anonymous sex.

Okay, so I think it’s bullshit, but supposing you don’t agree with me, then it still seems like a conversation you should have with your wife anyway if she is to understand and support you and your art.

And if she’s not okay with it, and if your art is important enough to you, then go with the consequences and negotiate up front next time with the next partner about your artistic process.

The good news is, that since you’re an artist, unlike Tiger Woods, it’s highly unlikely that any of the women you’ve slept with are going to crawl out of the woodwork looking for hush money.

LOVE U!!

Dr.Lisa
