These are as tall and thin as they look, and eerie in a silent, sentinel kind of way. Also oddly 3D for a something that is already 3D. I think they are so sharp in contour that the black inside the work acts as a kind of drop shadow, popping the work forward like a cut out. Neat optical effect tied into the subject matter.
Nice work, enjoyed talking to the gallery staff.

I guess India is a country of many tongues. Strong work.

Toasting the fact we won WWII? Amazing work.

Appropriate and familiar tableau to Toronto, Canada. The raccoons are large and brazen here - the only thing missing here are squirrels.

Fuck, yeah. That’s why I like being blogger - because you can’t print “Fuck, yeah” in a magazine when you see a perfect example of an artist using free speech to paint a picture. Also, you can link to content to complete the punchline.

A starkly simple, intimate and powerful video work in a glass of water by this Japanese contemporary artist. The artist told me this work was connected to the recent tsunami disaster.
James Fowler from Akimbo mentioned to me how he admired MA2 Gallery for coming all this way from Japan and presenting this powerful but challenging art to collectors. Well, it paid off for the gallery and the artist - all the work in their booth sold out by the end of the second day.

Oh this is a sweet work, from UCCA Limited Editions. Part of the “Focus on Asia” theme at this year’s fair. Note the “made in China”
on the dinosaur - many meanings both personal and meta i.e. childhood memories for me, best dinosaur fossils come from China, the economy and stereotype of mass produced cheap plastic items. I would recommend this work to collectors.

at booth 808, Olga Korper Gallery. I loved this work - it was tranquil and mesmerizing, softly whirling words that strangely feel like they are aimed at the left and right right hemispheres of your brain. Reminded me of a kind of science fiction prop from the 1960’s.
The camera did some strange lighting tricks - the work maintained an steady glow.
I could of looked at this for much longer than I was able.
Some nice work that echoes Americana antiques … then subverts it!
