“Issue” by Tom Molloy
New York! If you get the chance before May 18, 2013, you should definitely head over to Flagg Art Foundation in Chelsea because they are currently showing two great exhibitions. The first (on the 10th floor) is by Hilary Harkness and one floor below is “Issue” by Tom Molloy. Both exhibits require extra viewing time as there is so much detail in both. For me, the highlight of “Issue” is a panel featuring tiny replicas of various people protesting.
Partial View of “Issue” by Tom Molloy
As you look through the multitudes of miniature protestors, you will find yourself forming your own view on many of the things that these people take issue with. Some of the issues include anti-Marijuana, “Lady Gaga Leads Hell,” “Stop the killing in Kashmir,” “Who’s Afraid of Twitter,” “Stop the Religious Bullshit,” “My pension is my pay” and so on.
“Issue” by Tom Molloy
“Issue” by Tom Molloy is on display at Flagg Art (located at 545 9th and 10th Floors) in New York through May 18, 2013.

JR and Jose Parla
Artists JR and Jose Parla have made a collaborative exhibit that is like art within art within art at the Bryce Wolkowitz gallery in Manhattan. Entitled “The Wrinkles of the City, Havana,” Parla and JR each created art and the exhibit shows off large scale photos of their collaborative efforts.
JR and Jose Parla
JR put up massive black and white portraits of ordinary people in Cuba who lived through the Cuban revolution and then Jose Parla added his calligraphic writings and color to the outdoor murals. A documentary shown at the gallery accompanies these art works and it really provides context when watching interviews with some of these elderly folks who are at times both baffled and flattered by these works.

“The Last Panda” by Rob Pruitt
May 8, 2013 was a special night in New York as there was the opening of the first new Jeff Koons exhibit in a decade in New York but also a one night pop up exhibit of “The Last Panda” by Rob Pruitt. The exhibit took place at 436 West 15th Street in a building that looked like it had been abandoned for quite a while. It was pitch black inside the space save for a light towards the back of the building that shone on 2 works by Rob Pruitt.
Rob Pruitt’s “The Last Panda”
Apparently the first 100 guests got free T-shirts and ice-cream but I was getting my Jeff Koons on so I missed it. But I am glad I saw the art because I love Rob Pruitt.

Do not adjust your eyes! In a mind bending and visually stimulating exhibit, Holton Rower’s “Focus Paintings” at The Hole NYC will take your brain on a trip. His “pour paintings” are a great amalgamation of the work of Linda Benglis, Damien Hirst and Gerhard Richter.

You will find yourself wanting to stare at these paintings for a long time, so be sure to allow yourself a nice window with which to do so when you visit The Hole.
