Dona Nelson "Phigor" at THOMAS ERBEN GALLERY

After a long day in the studio, James Kalm franticly bikes to Chelsea, trying to see a few shows before things wrapped up for the night. Minutes after Chelae's official closing time, on a tip from Andrew Ginzel, Kalm dashed over to West 26th Street to bask in the work of Dona Nelson. Nelson, a longtime painting presence in the New York scene has, over the last decade, seen a greater critical and general response to her production. Working her canvases from both front and back, top to bottom and using a mix of materials, Nelson turns Abstract Expressionism inside out, and challenges viewers to reconsider their preconceived ideas about what and how a painting "is". A musical introduction is provided by Angelo and Archie, and was recorded live, under the Arch, at Washington Square Park, April 3, 2014.
