THOMAS SOLOMON GALLERY featured in Art in America
L.A. MAKES A SHOWING AT ARCO
Susan Emerling
Art in America, Vol. 98, No. 2, February: 30.
For the first time in its 29-year history, the international contemporary art fair ARCOmadrid has invited a city--Los Angeles--rather than a country as its "honored guest." (The United States received the distinction in 1994.) The switch, says the fair's director, Lourdes Fernandez, reflects the fact that "contemporary meaning is not in countries, but in cities." Once organizers decided to... read more -

"STILL BUOYANT ORBIT"
Gae Savannah
Satellite Miami Closes the Decade
Without doubt, this year, NADA won the Fabulous Venue award. From double arch panache of front entrance to capacious tiered lobby, the retro glam of the grande dame Deauville Beach Resort gave tingly anticipation to what would appear through the doors. Unfortunately, some of the NADA fare lacked the luster of the hotel. However, at Thomas Solomon Gallery, Bart Exposito, proved an exception.

Los Angeles is not really known for abstraction, but younger artists here can’t seem to stay away from it. Brad Eberhard is one of the best of the new practitioners, steering clear of murk and mess in fresh works open to the colors and shapes of the real world. Coming on the heels of his first solo painting show at... read more -
JOSH MANNIS in the Los Angeles Times 1-22-2010
"Whimsical and diabolical debut"
Chistopher Knight
Los Angeles Times
January 22, 2010
A sparse but maddeningly enticing solo debut by Josh Mannis is anchored by "Variation," a digitally manipulated video that turns Pop whimsy into something bordering on diabolical. The repetitions start off playful, but as the unending loop continues you begin to understand why the man doing a calisthenics-dance on the TV... read more -

Haute (High):High-class, high-toned, elevated, upper; Luxury, fancy, designer.
Fashion, design, cuisine and other “lifestyle” products have distinct tiers of value. The distinction between mass-produced jeans and runway fashion is immediately apparent; however, these divides aren’t as obvious in fine art. Art is inherently... read more

KRYSTEN CUNNINGHAM in The New Yorker
GALLERIES—DOWNTOWN
KRYSTEN CUNNINGHAM
What this tiny Lower East Side space—billed as an office as opposed to a gallery—lacks in square footage it more than makes up for in curatorial impact, under the keen direction of Howie Chen and Gabrielle Giattino. Their latest show introduces New York to a promising young sculptor from Los Angeles whose shelf-mounted arrangements interlace low-fi haptics (felt, hand-dyed from oak bark) and high-tech theories (a digital rendering of four-dimensional space) with hints of spiritual mysteries. The healing... read more -

Krysten Cunningham has worked as a technician in a physics lab at the University of California, Los Angeles, for eight years, building generators and other scientific objects. Some of the lab’s materials find their way into her sculpture, where they link up with Bauhaus art and hippie craft. It’s a promising equation, to judge from her first New York solo show at the... read more -
