James Kalm faces wind-chills approaching zero, and stays close to home, pedaling to Vinegar Hill to capture video of Catherine Haggarty's "The Sixth Woman" at THIS FRIDAY OR NEXT FRIDAY. Your correspondent has popped into view exhibitions at this shoebox sized gallery from time to time, and is always impressed with their inventiveness (turning a closet sized part of their studios into a "gallery"). With "The Sixth Woman" Catherine Haggarty gives viewers a walking tour as she presents seven small gauche and mixed media paintings on panel. These whimsical pictures, some depicting abstracted portraits of individuals captured at unpropitious moments, seem to increase or decrease facial features in accordance with their psychological significance. The free-form process which allows the loose application of the media brings a de-skilled authenticity to these renderings. This program was recorded February 12, 2016 in Brooklyn.
