James Kalm brings viewers a Lower East Side Mash-up featuring three tricksters: Trenton Doyle Hancock: Pandemic Pentameter at James Cohan, Rob Pruitt: The Obama Paintings at Gavin Brown’s Enterprise, and David Kramer: Hooking Up With Dave at LMAK Gallery.
The paintings of Trenton Doyle Hancock are large punchy palimpsests of collage, drawing and assemblage employing a collection of grotesque figures and swirling layouts in brilliant color.
Rob Pruitt is a jokester par excellence, so his supposed project of making a painting every day of the eight years of President Obama’s reign might be received with skosh of skepticism. Still the proposed 2,922 paintings and their storage system installation is impressive, even as this period begins to fade into memory.
David Kramer exploits the handy crafts practices of the rehab/self improvement cliques to present an exhibition as double entendre. Nestled in the attic of LMAK Gallery Kramer creates a rumpus room man cave with rows of backlight liquor bottles, pool table and hook rugs depicting effigies of wild animal skins, a statement on the pathetic state of contemporary manhood. This program was recorded on November 20, 2016. A musical introduction is provided by ViolinMonster.com
