My mini Houston arts review

Dudes. I stole this image from Diverseworks website (I'm not even going to think about how to make that possesive) from this show of Argentinian artists. I thought it was one of the best shows I've seen in a while. There was a sweet purple lacquered and painted corvette style frame that was on air switches, so it would move like a low rider or some pimp ride. Lots of large scale sculpture and wall pieces including lots of bright color. Truly sensory and nice. Sorry if you missed it, but mad props to DW.

PLEASE go see Kendell Carter's show at Finesilver. It is one of the most clever combinations of consumerism and culture, most as functional objects. Really smart and whoever buys the hoodie chair, can I please come visit it?

Julie Kinzelman with her wicked little eye spied Misaki Kawai, and artist from Brooklyn. I've seen before here in Houston ages ago, and the work stayed with me. It's fun bizarre stuff about popsicles and triangle trees. LOVE LOVE LOVE. Julie is really doing some interesting things there with her business, I wish there were more like her...

Inman also looks like there should be some interesting drawings there. I haven't yet been over to see them, but this month should be pretty exciting with Asia month at MFAH inspiring gallerists all over to expand their vocabularies. Keep it up people!

blogging is cool

so gene found this and then adam rio showed it to me, which was really fitting. it is funny. i think i like episode three best, but i am a sucker for sequence so i've put the first two here.

also i am cursing a certain gallery director today while i nurse this mighty hangover i've got going. doesn't mean i'll miss the opening at finesilver tonight, which should be radical. that kendell carter is a fine man.
