Richard Mock at THE WALL GALLERY Urs Fischer at GAGOSIAN GALLERY

Описание: James Kalm has maintained a studio near the Red Hook neighborhood of Brooklyn for over forty years. By now, there has evolved a local Brooklyn art history that’s significant. As providence would have it, your correspondent happened to capture snippets of exhibitions by two other artists that call this nabe home. “Mock Up” is a mini-retrospective featuring the work of Richard Mock, a local legend. Curated by Scott Pfaffman “Mock Up” covers a thirty-year chunk of this protean “Bad Boy” artist’s work. Pfaffman provides an insightful narrative regarding the career of the artist, and the challenges faced by guardians of an artistic legacy.
Urs Fischer is one of todays most revered and institutionally recognized artists. Creating works in the realm of “New Media” Fischer, with “Denominator” presents a selection of three installation/video works that push the boundaries of technology, the participation of the viewer and the authority of the “Media Bubble”. Employing massive LED screens and multiple video projections, Fischer mashes together sublime amounts of AI controlled visual data, historic TV content, and architectural environments that beg the viewer to question their location (the inside, versus outside of society), within the idea of our created cultural “reality”. A musical introduction is provided by Kay Joe Unscripted @therealunscripted. This program was recorded September 13, and September 22, 2022. #jameskalmreport #jameskalmroughcut #lorenmunk
