Monet's Gardens, In NY

GIVERNY AT THE HOLE


Have you seen Monet's gardens? They're in New York! This week, I profiled Kathy Grayson, owner of The Hole, for The Observer about this show, for which artists E.V. Day and Kembra Pfahler created the Giverny gardens at The Hole replete with real and fake grass, a bamboo grove, water lilies (de rigueur!), a Japanese bridge, a pond, and misty pond atmosphere. By all appearances, it looks like Grayson is giving Jeffrey Deitch a run for his money. You can watch how the whole show came together on her blog...

A Week of Clifford Owens

At the start of Armory week, I interviewed Clifford Owens about his plans for his last performance of his residency at MoMA PS1. My report on that interview, and the unexpected turn of events following it, are reported in the following pieces for the Observer.
