Judith Bernstein, Zak Smith, Claudette Schreuders CHELSEA ROUND UP




Veröffentlicht am 29.02.2016
Between freezing weather and loads of studio work, James Kalm has been neglecting his circuit of gallery viewings in Chelsea. On an unusual sunny and balmy Saturday he heads his bike west, and brings viewers along for some shows on 24th Street. Judith Bernstein (at Mary Boone) has been a working artist in New York since the 1960s. Her trangressive, politically charged work set a high bar for generations of women artists who followed. The stridency of the work is once again relevant. and she's enjoying a popular re-discovery. Zak Smith at Fredericks & Freiser weaves intricate networks of signs, lines and dots to produce drawings of seduction. Many of the works include images of women the artist has come to know through the "adult film industry". Finally, viewers will peruse the latest collection of sculptures and lithographs from South African artist Claudette Schreuders "Note to Self". Portrait busts and full body sculptures of fellow South Africans Markene Dumas, Bessie Head, and Nelson Mandela display the artists engagement and contemplation of the post- Apartheid South Africa. This program was recorded on February 27, 2016.
