Jack Whitten at PS1

Sat, 15 May 2010 10:42:55 +0000

James Kalm responds to viewer requests and returns to PS1 for a unique opportunity to view a selection of works by legendary New York painter Jack Whitten. This show follows the progression of Whitten’s practice from the early works of the 1960s, to the massive mosaic piece “9.11.01″. As a member of the downtown group of artists who would transform the “New York School” Whitten was featured in the recent “High Times Hard Times” experimental abstraction exhibition that took place recently at the National Academy. “9.11.01″ is the artist’s response to the disaster as seen from his studio near “Ground Zero.”

Sat, 01 May 2010 07:19:44 +0000

The Warhol Superstars were a clique of New York City personalities promoted by Andy Warhol during the 1960s and early 1970s. The Superstars appeared in Warhol’s artworks and accompanied him in his social life. They epitomized Warhol’s famous dictum: “In the future everyone will be famous for fifteen minutes.” The Lôu Rëed song ‘Take A Walk On The Wild Side’ (1972) offers insight into a few of the Warhol Superstars. The lyrics have been illustrated by myself, and editing using footage of old Warhol movies, which full rites belong to Paul Morrisey & Andy Warhol.

1960s MOD

Mon, 26 Apr 2010 12:54:26 +0000

Mod lifestyle emerged in England in early 1960s, and it is sometimes referred to as modism. Elements of the mod lifestyle include music, clothes, dancing and motorscooters. Working-class kids, inspired by the new British rock, came together to create a new culture. As if by spontaneous combustion, that culture quickly spread beyond England to the entire world; eventually it defined a generation. Since the mid 60s, the mainstream media often used the term mod in a wider sense to describe anything that was popular, fashionable or modern.
