  Amy Sillman: Twice Removed Through November 14, 2020 web Gladstone Gallery 515 W 24th Street New Tork, NY From the Press Release: Dear Reader,        The time we’re living in is crazy, horrible, almost medieval with disease, increasing police brutality and militarization, diminishment of democratic rights, and the upcoming ledge of a terrifying election. I was supposed to have a show of drawings and paintings last May at Gladstone and titled it “Twice Removed”: " twice " to propose the idea of a multiplied subjectivity, being of two minds, forked paths, and having allegiances to both subject and object, thinking and feeling, abstraction and figuration, form and content, dialectics and contradictions; " removed " because my paintings are built through negation, a kind of violent erasure, scraping down, undoing, getting rid of. But  twice removed  was also a pun on the family relation, being adjacent to something older. I’m a knight’s move away from th...

  David Pollack, Summer Rainstorm (Ascend) 2020, watercolor on paper, 11 x 15 in. David Pollack: New on Paper Since COVID-19 October 11 - November 10, 2020 Monklike Habits | online project space ( view ) From the Press Release: "The new work presented here is a response to, and an interpretation of, nature and the awesome sway it exerts on us. These modest and elegiac watercolors allude to a feeling of beautiful helplessness that we often experience in response to the seemingly arbitrary acts of nature, and by extension, to our times. But the paintings also support an underlying humanity - a joining with (in death?), or perhaps a transcendence from, an irrational, subjective megacosm. This ingredient, more than anything, confirms the poetic sensitivity in the work."
