Anthony Miler is a great man. And a great artist. He will go down in history as one of the most important minds of the 21st Century. Come to his MFA Thesis Show and meet him while he is young.

marcel dzama

Marcel Dzama has a new show at David Zwirner. Even The Ghost Of The Past contains his ubiquitous drawings, but it is the back room where the work gets interesting. His figures come to life in the form of three-dimensional dioramas, followed by a silent film with a real-life pianist providing the sound track. Dzama's world is weird with a tint of earthy-brown, but I'm happy to have been invited to the party.

john lees

I am intrigued by the work of John Lees. He works and reworks his pieces over several years, giving them a "sense of presence" as well as a sense of time. I just wish he would work larger.

gustave courbet

The Met is staging the first full retrospective in thirty years of French realist Gustave Courbet. Featuring 130 canvases, the show also "includes a selection of nineteenth-century photographs that relate to Courbet's work, especially his landscapes and nudes". It is a wonderful opportunity to see the work of this leader of early modernism.

color chart

I'm pretty intrigued to see how this show comes together. "Color Chart: Reinventing Color, 1950 to Today" is now open at the MoMA. From the photographs it looks like a sure-thing for the family, but hopefully will hold something a little more for the rest of us as well.

electric fountain

Tim Noble and Sue Webster have installed a spectacular 'Electric Fountain' in Rockefeller Center. Consisting of 3,390 environmentally sound lights, the fountain looks and acts as water, running daily from 6:00AM to Midnight. At 35 feel tall, it is a nice spring replacement for the winter tree.
