Hey guys! I thought I would share my comfy experience at Paula Cooper Gallery last week. I guess people missed the sign that asked you to take off your shoes before sitting on the couch. I got some pretty strange looks from visitors while I was busy being a part of the artwork.
Mel Kendrick's large wooden sculptures at the Mary Boone Gallery
I particularly liked how these large wooden sculptures had their media echoed in the wooden ceiling of the Mary Boone gallery. I suspect it is a happy accident, but it struck me as cool.
Scultpor Altmejd gives us both traditional and non-traditional “renderings” of the human figure.

Gary Hill: Put on Gallery-Provided 3D Glasses to Watch This Mad Scientist Do His Thing
Did anyone read the press release from this show? It explains what the supposed subject is.
There are various videos, also sculptural objects, many of which have to do with perception.

Sculptor John Chamberlain is represented in this show in works from the 1960s and beyond, including a sofa.
Chamberlain’s works have often been compared to works of Abstract Expressionist painters in New York, from the 1940s and 1950s. Such painters would include: Willem de Kooning and Franz Kline.
Questions:
Think about the term “Action Painting,” as “coined” by critic Harold Rosenberg. Is this an “action sculpture”? How so?
What is the original source of this metal?
Did Chamberlain paint it himself?
