  best three

  Posted: 28-December-2012, 8:02pm EST by Martin

  

  Jamison Brosseau, "The Natural", at 245 Varet.... a one-night party show.
  
  My best three most wonderful art shows/encounters/experiences of the year.
  
  

  

  Robert Janz... Mountain Mode... I noticed him working on the street, and then talked with him... later I looked him up and saw more.
  
  

  

  Yohji Haijima, at Art + Eat... another chance encounter, a second artist in his eighties... we were just looking for a place to sit and have something to eat between galleries.. but it turned out to be the reception for the best show I saw in two months in Tokyo.
  
  THANK YOU!

  Ken Weathersby's first (solo) show at Pierogi, on anaba 6/23/2010.
  
  
  Full-size.... a circle was cut and slightly turned... it is very hard to photograph how cool some of these are... the colors merge in the photo, and you can't see the splotches and pencil lines.

  Al Loving, at Gary Snyder. Closes 12/15.

  
  

  

  Al Loving on anaba 1/8/08. So great.

  
  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  I missed it but if you like this you should also see Alan Shields' Maze at Greenberg Van Doren... they were both in High Times, Hard Times... I made a label of artists in that show whom I have seen shows of since, more than twenty posts so far and I think I missed labeling a few.

  
  

  

  

  

  

  Al Loving.
  
  There was a great Sven Lukin show at Gary Snyder earlier this year.

  Stills from the videos... some gorgeous photos.

  
  

  

  

  eggs on dress
