Kathy Grayson to open gallery post-Deitch

Posted: March 12th, 2010 | Author: RJ | Filed under: Art News, Featured Posts | Tags: , | No Comments »

According to Artinfo, Kathy Grayson, the current director of Deitch Project space on Wooster Street, plans to open her own gallery after Deitch Projects closes later this year (Jeffrey Deitch is closing the gallery to become director of MOCA in LA). Deitch is such a unique space that it’s probably too early to say exactly what this means, but Grayson has already said that she plans to bring some of the staff from Deitch Projects with her. Also, she is hoping to open the space with a show with Todd James, Barry McGee and Steve Powers (much like the Street Market show at Deitch Projects in 2000), which would be just plain awesome. Unfortunately, it sounds like Swoon and Os Gêmeos could be less welcome at her gallery.

Don’t Panic, the a free UK magazine, has a poster by Banksy available this week’s Don’t Panic Pack. It’s a nice free way to get his “Forgive Us Our Trespassing” stencil. On the other side of the poster, there is an ad for Exit Through The Gift Shop, so get two packs, that way you can display both sides. More info on Don’t Panic’s website.

I’m pretty sure that I’m the only journalist/blogger/whatever to have taken a video camera inside Banksy’s Leake Street cinema, where he hosted the UK premiere of Exit Through The Gift Shop. If you didn’t have a chance to see the cinema in person, here’s your chance to check it out:

And S.Butterfly has a great set of photos from inside the cinema.


Solo show from Anthony Lister

Anthony Lister can be one of my favorite painters. He was once described to me as “an extremely talented painter, who happens to use a spray can,” and I completely agree with that assessment.

Terms of Engagement by Anthony Lister

Lister’s next solo show is at Lyons Wier Gallery in New York City, and it opens on March 19th. Should be pretty awesome.

Also, Lister recently painted a mural at the Pulse art fair in NYC for the Lyons Wier Gallery.

A short film from Ronzo…

Posted: March 9th, 2010 | Author: RJ | Filed under: Videos | Tags: | No Comments »

Back in January, Ronzo put up some sculptures in London of his credit crunch monster. Now he’s put together a film of him installing the sculptures. Although I mentioned these sculptures when they were first spotted, the film is kind of funny, so I thought it worth sharing:
