James Kalm was on an art recon marathon, scurrying from the Bottom East Side of the Lower East Side, to the far East Village, and finally to West Chelsea, recording hours of video, when he finally finds himself in front of Hauser and Wirth with about twenty minutes before closing time. There’s as double show featuring Nicole Eisenman and Lee Lozano. Although exhausted from a looooong day, your correspondent decides to turn on the camera, and see how far he can get in documenting these presentations. “Untitled (Show)” is Eisenman’s first exhibition with Hauser and Wirth. It features a gallery of recent paintings (some huge) and a cat’s head sculpture that’s chained to a backhoe. On the second floor are a group of bronze sculptures and an installation with an animated potter.
Lee Lozano is perhaps one of the most enigmatic artists to emerge from the New York art scent in the last fifty years. Known as a founding member of the “Conceptual Art” movement, this show titled “All Verbs” features some of her bizarre earlier figurative paintings, her abstract design paintings, and notation sketches which give insight into her instructional text pieces, for which she became famous. A musical introduction is provided by Our Messy Ghost. This program was recorded June 4, 2022. #jameskalmreport #jameskalmroughcut #lorenmunk
