MCA-Denver

We had a great visit to Museum of Contemporary Art, Denver yesterday. Light Leaks by Isca Greenfield- Sanders is worth the trip. This painter uses other peoples slides to create paintings. Her technique is sooo patient. She uses fluid watercolor on rice paper. Then protects with varnish and paints over with oil. She ends up with wonderful gesture and luminosity.
Rebecca DiDomenico's Pellucid is a cocoon of stallagmites and tites and magical wonders. She never disappoints. Christo and Jeanne-Claude "Over the River". Yes! Finally Robert Gober's slides of a changing painting. Edith said you could paint the same painting your entire life...Gober spent a year on the same board. He was referenced in NYTimes this a.m. in an article on Paul Thek. Also a great thought  from NYTimes on Monday...The Pace Gallery, "50 years at Pace" hung a Bonnard next to a Rothko. Wouldn't you love to lay eyes on that?

Then we went to see the Andy Berg paintings at Sellars Project at 44th and Tennyson. Good work.
And Jimmy Sellars and Jessica are just the best. If you are in the arts or appreciate the arts, you need to know these people at  servicesforartists.com

I am working on a drawing to assist me in visualizing adding 9 more students.
