Andy Coolquitt
Lisa Cooley opened her gallery today on the Lower East Side with an impressive two-person show of sculpture by Frank Haines and Andy Coolquitt. It’s one of the best debut shows I’ve seen in a long time.

Ina Diane Archer, whose collages and videos were singled out by almost everyone who saw them in the show we curated in the fall of 2006, sent me a trailer for her video 1/16th of 100%!?. If you’re going to be in Atlanta, go see it as part of
Cinema Remixed and Reloaded: Black Women Artists and the Moving Image Since 1970
Part II: January 24 – May 24, Spelman College Museum of
Fine Art, Atlanta, GA.
She describes it thusly:
1/16th of 100%!?, video (23 minutes)

Michael Behle and David Choi at Hogar Collection
I see Art Fag City wrote about this show (which opens tomorrow) and David Choi’s work. Since she said she didn’t know anything about Michael Behle’s work, I asked James to take photos of the three works we own, since everyone who visits our apartment asks about them. We don’t know titles for these. They all date from the late 1990s / early 2000s and are quite different from the recent work we’ve seen.

Bonus points for those that can guess which art publication’s style I’m imitating above.
