Andy Freeberg : Guardians and William Steiger : Drawings Kopeikin Gallery - West Hollywood, CA USA United States of America   The Kopeikin Gallery presents the first west coast exhibition of drawings by New York based artist William Steiger whose subject matter are icons of the American landscape, including grain elevators, tramways, railroad cars, roller coasters and ferris wheels. Steiger's drawings are never populated, focusing rather on the chiseled geometry of recognizable structures of 20th century ideology. The reduced forms offer neither a romantic modernist view, nor an ironic look at a lapsed technology.  Read Indepth Article

The Armory Show 2010

I was riding the #6 train on my way to Grand Central where I had to stop at my hotel, 70 Park Avenue. There was a Hispanic homeless man who was confined to a wheelchair a few feet away from where I was sitting. He was heavyset, had graying hair and was wearing a filthy, gray Old Navy sweatshirt with black pants. On either side of his wheelchair arm rests, he had several cups stacked for donations. He also had several junk bags and strings of whatnots tied to the back of his chair. In his right hand, he held a harmonica that looked like he found it on the street. Every thirty seconds or so, the man raised the harmonica to his mouth, blew a stunningly sour note and sang a few bars of a high pitched tune in Spanish. It was one of those tunes that would make any dog tilt its head in wonder ... or perhaps horror.
