Plan Ahead

If I've fully recovered from my recent bout of ennui, I'll probably go to Bellwether as recommended by James Wolanin.

If not I'll just stay home and pretend I don't exist.

Oh, screw it. I'm didn't go out Wednesday and I'm not going out Thursday. So be it.

This sucks. After a serious drought of openings, where I dragged myself to see things I really wasn't excited about, here comes this week where I have not one but two nights with openings I really want to see.

First is an artist recommended by good old Ed Winkleman, Jennifer Coates at Feigen. Her paintings look interesting. Perhaps not enough to make me want to go, but Edward's recommendation means a lot to me, so as soon as I read his post, I thought, yes, someone worth seeing.

Meanwhile in another window I'm going through the Douglas Kelley Show list and I find Alyssa Monks opening at DFN on Wednesday, not Thursday. My first reaction on seeing Alyssa's paintings online is "HOLY CRAP!" Because they can't be paintings, they've got to be photos. Wow. I mean, holy crap. I MUST GO.

This sucks.
