Visual Art Artwalk! Artwalk!

It's a powerhouse of women.

Anne Siems at Grover/Thurston

Mary Henry at Howard House

Mandy Greer at OHGE Ltd.

Claire Johnson at SOIL

And if you haven't seen it yet, Claudia Fitch just opened last Friday at Suyama Space. The gallery hours are during the day (9-5 M-F), so it's not officially open during Artwalk, but if you get started early...

And more.

...or if you aren't just interested in pretentious bullshit, 619 Western has another 50 or so studios to wander through.

The 4th floor in particular has amazing work. Look for the chicks with the day-glo hair.

If you want to see pretentious street art, immature dribbles of consciousness, and a very few hidden gems, visit 619 Western.

If you want to see art that often has so much concept and so little physical remnant that you begin to doubt that it's anything, as well as a fair number of gems, do the gallery walk.

If you want to see art that you already accept as art, continue to look at things with your mouth, not your eyes.

I particularly loved Alex Ohge's reprise of Mandy Greer's installation from last summer, and how they commodified the installation with a great degree of production value, exhibit system prowess and clever details. You see, the sort of forethought that goes into an exhibit like that requires years of toil, ceaseless scholarship with an eye toward originality, and something that is impossible to manufacture; The genetic makeup of the brain architecture of an artistic genius and her equally gifted gallerist. Also, the smorgasbord Alex Ohge provided was as authentic as my Swedish-Finn grandmother could provide, down to the glogg. I want to thank Alex and Ms. Greer for one of the best exhibits I've seen lately.
