Great energy, great art, great people. Take a look at some of the things I enjoyed there. http://bcove.me/th0cdwar

Eye On: Mixed Media Shows in Chelsea
March 22, 2013, 2:27 pm
In this week’s installment of Eye on Art, I take a look at several exhibitions in Manhattan’s Chelsea neighborhood where the artists work in several mediums simultaneously. More and more, artists tend to diversify their practices using whatever materials suit a particular set of ideas, rather than exploring the craft of painting, sculpture, photography, etc. exclusively. This segment includes Mark Dion at Tanya Bonakdar Gallery, the Ladies & Gents exhibition at Salomon Contemporary and William Cordova at Sikkema Jenkins Gallery.

For me, some of the best works are often lurking in the side aisles or closets of an art fair’s stands. Some of my favorites this year include: Julianne Swartz at Josée Bienvenu Gallery, Francis M. Naumann Fine Art, Roy McMakin at Anthony Meier Fine Art and Leon Ferrari at Sicardi Gallery on Pier 92.
