James Kalm Frames NY: Joe Bradley & Chris Martin at Mitchell-Innes...

[ 10:49 ]
James Kalm parks his bike and slogs through a late-winter blizzard to partake in the opening of this double show featuring two of contemporary paintings most exciting practitioners. Joe Bradley employs the trappings of high formalism, Minimalism and an austere vision leavened with a unique whimsy and humor, while we are presented with a chance to view some of the massive paintings that brought Chris Martin's work to the public's attention in the late '80s. The contrasting of these two sensibilities provides us a chance to witness the wide spectrum of today's painting practice.

James Kalm Frames NY: Outsider Art Fair 2010
James Kalm wheels his bike through midtown Manhattan traffic to visit this year’s iteration of the Outsiders Art Fair. With what appears to be fewer and fewer avenues for modernist progress, many avant artists are looking to the naïve or primitive for inspiration. Each year this fair brings fresh revelations and renewed acquaintance with some of the world’s hidden masters. Includes an interview with Bonnie Grossman about her discovery of the work of A.G. Rizzoli.

Art Basel Miami Beach: Spectacular spectacular, Part...
Denise Brown elaborates on why artists just love causing a scene at Miami Art Basel. "Producing something that actually can’t be sold probably interests some artists and for others it’s just about having people look at you and being noticed."

Art Basel Miami Beach: Spectacular spectacular, Part...
Denise Brown talks to t5m at Art Basel Miami Beach about making a spectacle of her work. "I think the idea of doing something spectacular here is something that probably interests a lot of artists because there is a sense that your work becomes commodified here - it’s kind of a shopping mall experience." According to Brown, it is this commercial sense of the event that urges fellow artists on to do something that little bit different - a feature that will make them stand out from the arty crowd. "It’s empowering for the artist and it creates a different dynamic to actually looking at work in the art fair."

The world of Art Basel Miami Beach
Art Basel Miami Beach, held in December, is the most important show on the art world’s winter calendar. Created to complement the summer Art Basel show in Switzerland, the international art glitterati are drawn to the balmy weather of Miami, one of the hippest cities in the world. The event has boosted Miami’s prominence as an international art hub, and there is a thriving community of dealers, collectors, museums and artists that act as the foundation of the event. The exhibition sites are in the historic and trendy Art Deco district, once the preserve of gangsters and drug-runners, now a playground for the hottest names in design, art, music and showbiz. All of the sites are within walking distance of the world famous Miami Beach. The best of contemporary art is on show, with more than two thousand artists exhibiting work from the twentieth and twenty first centuries. Although it draws the household names of modern art, it especially helps to raise the profile of emerging talent, with large spaces devoted to young artists and newly created work. It is the best showcase of contemporary art in North America, bringing together the most talented and influential artists from every corner of the world. More than 220 specially selected dealers exhibit pieces from artists in their galleries, showing a range of works. From video installations and sculptures to major public art projects, Art Basel Miami Beach showcases the variety of art and cutting-edge techniques used around the world today.
