I just stopped by Jack Shainman in Chelsea to view Nick Cave's (not Bad Seeds) Soundsuits and was completely blown away by the craftsmanship and presentation of the work. Here's a nice tidbit from The NY Times about his work from 2006:
"Whether Nick Cave's efforts qualify as fashion, body art or sculpture, and almost regardless of what you ultimately think of them, they fall squarely under the heading of Must Be Seen to Be Believed."

In honor of the inauguration, we wanted to post Rev. Joseph Lowery's benediction from a couple of hours ago. Some people found it childish and the ending offensive, but it was great to hear someone (especially a man who has been fighting for civil rights so long) having a good time with such sensitive topics and riffing on old blues songs. Nice to see the stuffy ceremony ending with a bit of laughter and good spirit. Amen..

A new law is about to be put into effect that may affect crafters of toys and clothing. The new law, starting Feb. 10th, requires crafters and toy makers to test their products for lead. Every material (cloth, plastic, paint etc.) needs to be tested separately and the tests may go up to a couple hundred dollars each, which may end up putting a lot of people and stores out of business.

Heard some banging on the walls and noticed tons of people on the sidewalk in front of the gallery with noises of firetrucks in the distance.

The gallery is ok, and Pesya will be in there today from 12-6pm. Stop in to see Paul Urich's show... We'll be LA bound to visit some artist studios and the like. We'll be blogging it up along the way and instant blogging as well. Stay tuned.

:: Shepard-Mania hits Boston ::
No breaking news here but as if he isn't busy enough with Time Magazine and all the Obama office parties etc., Shepard Fairey has a pretty massive exhibit lined up with The Institute of Contemporary Arts in Boston. Should be a good one, with 80 some works on display. The festivities kick off with some lecture stuff on Feb. 5th. Followed by the opener on the 6th. Large but will it compare with this Obey show from 07, when he still played games with us common folk. Shepard Fairey on the ticket 2k12?

PAUL URICH @FECAL FACE <-- opens on Thursday from 6-9pm. Drinks shall be served and Paul will be in attendance... For an idea as to what to expect we turn to Flavorpill's nice writeup. "Driven by the notion that people die when their face is no longer recognizable, Urich haunts his viewers with faint sketches of anonymous folk culled from old family albums. With light pencil strokes, Urich sets tiny faces floating on vast expanses of paper, then overlays them with dabs of color and broad gouache strokes that resemble the bubble and burn of melting celluloid. The result tugs at the eye with the urgency of an image speeding across a rearview mirror." - Flavorpill - SF Weekly has some nice words.
