The Woodmans

Finally got around to seeing this show at the Guggenheim, and was utterly impressed at how precocious and prolific of a photographer she was at such a young age.  Briefly had a conversation about her work relative to Cindy Sherman, and how parallel (other than for obvious reasons) their work was to one another.  And curious in wondering how the conversation between both women could have evolved, had Francesca still been around today - two contemporaries making similar work around the same exact time.


Also try and catch the film about the Woodmans, great documentary!

Space Program : MARS by Tom Sachs

Space Program : MARS
16MAY-17JUN
Park Avenue Armory

more info here





Artist Tom Sachs takes his SPACE PROGRAM to the next level with a four week mission to Mars that recasts the 55,000 square foot Wade Thompson Drill Hall as an immersive space odyssey with an installation of dynamic and meticulously crafted sculptures. Using his signature bricolage technique and simple materials that comprise the daily surrounds of his New York studio, Sachs engineers the component parts of the mission—exploratory vehicles, mission control, launch platforms, suiting stations, special effects, recreational amenities, and Mars landscape—exposing as much the process of their making as the complexities of the culture they reference. (via)
