Mirror, Mirror, Everywhere: Jonah Freeman and Justin Lowe

Mirrors were everywhere at the art fairs (Yes, I realize this is a belated post. Life is crazy. For regular posting to begin soon, offer me an awesome full-time marketing job, please.)

This installation by Jonah Freeman and Justin Lowe at Marlborough Chelsea’s booth at the Armory was my favorite of all the mirrors though, for the textured surfaces of the mirrors created by a layered printing process. They appeared rather like abstract, naturalistic watercolors despite the medium.

I also appreciated the setting; the artists also designed the wallpaper behind the mirrors, which feature a fractal-like pattern. The duo notably also created a whole environment for Bright White Underground in 2010 (great photos of this on The Selby).

Chalk and Pins at the Armory

A different use of chalk as a medium at the Armory. I’m on the train to Philadelphia at the moment for a work conference, so just a quick post. Chalk and pins L, 2010 by Pascale Marthine Tayou was up at the Galleria Continua booth at the Armory. More about the artist on the gallery’s website. By the way, if you have a reccomendation about where to get a Philly cheese steak sandwich near the city center area, please let me know!
