James Kalm, in the wake of New York’s Art Fair, and Art Auctions week, is confronted with an embarrassment of riches. Your reporter will accompany paint-head viewers on a jaunt through three luscious exhibitions.
Trudy Benson has been on the Kalm radar since 2010 when he walked in and recorded her first New York exhibition on the same night she graduated from Pratt Institute. Since this auspicious start, your correspondent has kept viewers aware of Benson’s developing evolution as a painter. We’ll take a peek at her latest offerings with “XSTATIC” at Miles McEnery. While dodging in and out of galleries with an overheating camera (recording further segments that will appear shortly) Kalm decides to visit the controversial Maurizio Cattelan show titled “Sunday” at Gagosian. The Gallery has banned full format cameras, but allows cell phone recording, so your reporter gets nostalgic, and goes on the good old “down low” to grab high quality images of this installation. Finally, viewers can bask in the glow of one of New York's most recognized painters, Terry Winters, with a closing time tour of a series titled “Point Cloud Pictures” at Matthew Marks. These “pictures” are an exercise in subtly, and have the relaxed impression of a cleansing breathe. Compositions of floating patterns drift on grounds of layered brushwork in rich muted hues. A musical intro is provided by Annette Taylor. This program was recorded May 9, 2024. #jameskalmreport #jameskalmroughcut #lorenmunk
