Article on Isa Genzken

Found an Interesting article that was recently published in the NY Times by Randy Kennedy, profiling the artist Isa Genzken.  She is currently having her first retrospective at MOMA, which has apparently been long over due.  Reasons for the long anticipated exhibition has been cited for her bipolar disorder and even her battle with alcoholism.  With these issues under control, Genzken is happy to be in New York and showing her work at MOMA.

New Work

How should I add to these? Should anything be changed? Still struggling with adding more...

knowing when a painting is done

This semester in Painting three my teacher has tried to get us to produce work very fast.  Up until two weeks ago we were making seven paintings a week.  My method to completing these painting was producing one painting every studio session and never going back into it.  Now that our class is beginning to make work for the final critique, I'm struggling with going back into the painting that I perceive as finished.  I think the seven paintings a week was a good assignment in getting us to make a lot of work in s small window of time.  However this assignment has inhibited my ability to  know when a painting is done and how to add to paintings.  For the rest of the semester I am going to try to work on adding to my paintings and not completing them in one sitting.  

Pictures of work I have made in one sitting.  You decide if and how I should add to them.

  

New work

Just some pictures of new work I made last week...

Work that I really enjoyed from a few different Chelsea Galleries that I visited on November second.

This shopping bag with fabrics was created by Harmony Hammond.  Its is located at Alexander Gray Associates  and will be on display until December 7.  

This work is by Allison Elizabeth Taylor.  She is a Brooklyn based artist that uses a limited palette and natural wood.  This work and many others can be seen at the James Cohan Gallery until November 30th.
