I’m a little late, but I’m coming!

Art

The gallery girls have decided to browse the Internet with the doors locked, and have instituted Monday-Friday only summer hours throughout the land, but a few galleries are still open on weekends. The following shows are available to ladies who lunch at their desks, are located mostly downtown, and are listed in order of preference.  I will be checking out Fastnet next weekend, after I return from KC.  Dinner at The Good Fork in Red Hook?

I recommend…

• Sturtevant, at Gavin Brown’s Enterprise, Harlem, through September 9
• Eric Sommer, at Fastnet in Red Hook, through August 20 (Sundays 4-8)
• Peter Shear at Fortnight Institute, East Village, through August 13
• Megan Marrin (of St. Louis) paints the corpse flower hyper-realistically, at David Lewis, LES, through August 20
• Sunset Decor (group show), at Marian Goodman, uptown, through August 25
• The Small Exceeds (group show), at New Release, SoHo, through August 20

I have been lazy this month.  I still need to see these museum shows (all of which are open all month):

• Henry James and American Painting, at the Morgan Library
• Hélio Oiticica (eh leo – oy chi see ka) at The Whitney Museum
• Alexander Calder: Hypermobility at The Whitney Museum
• Self-Interned, 1942: Noguchi in Poston War Relocation Center, at Noguchi Museum
• Carol Rama, Elaine Cameron-Weir, Kaari Upson, et al. at New Museum
• Lorna Simpson at Fisher Landau
• PS1 shows
• Robert Rauschenberg:  Among Friends, et al. at MoMA
• Karl Salzman:  Monopulism, at Austrian Cultural Forum
