...i work in chelsea and never go to the shows, because i just want to go home after work and don't want to go there on my days off either. its a shame because i miss things like
Peter Callesen's first solo show in the U.S,
Folded Thoughts at the Perry Rubenstein Gallery. (the title is unfortunate, but who am i to say such things?) while he does performance, installation and drawings he is best know for his
papercuts. they are in large and small scale, with painful attention to detail.
White Diary, 2008
when i think of papercut work i think flat, silhouettes and his work jumps off the paper into three dimensions. i can't even imagine the kind of skill and patience that goes into making these kinds of works, but i like that his process shows...
Impenetrable Castel (detail), 2005
this is some of what i missed from his show. would have loved to have seen it...

I totally understand about working by the galleries, and never going. I'm in the Chelsea/Flatiron area, and even checking out something at FIT or the SVA galleries seems too far. Oh, the city. Anyhow, just saying hi - love the blog and your work!
