May 11 Points Between

Not every exceptional show has openings and closings, our modus. But the Lobby At Ellen Browning has been doing excellent curation. They are a very chill space to stop by for a quiet viewing limited hours.

They have an opening tonight.

The new show is Between Two Points and includes Jenny Holzer, Mary Weatherford, and Daniel Buren.

This spot has museum level artists you can see for free.

The past show was The Earth Laughs, with David Hockney, Andy Worhol, Max Jansons, Karin Gulbran, Petra Cortright, the Campana Brothers and Margarite Humeau. MK Guth's 5,000 Pages on Love is in residence for you to inscribe. The big piece is Flower and People – A Whole Year per Hour from TeamLab. If you don't know TeamLab you should look them up, and seek them out if you travel internationally. We are fortunate to be able to experience it here.

The project is a notable admixture of real estate development and art. Another notible example was the Queens West gentrification in Toronto. It was a low rent neighborhood I walked and met with artist studios. The condo developers bought art from displaced artists. Then each new condo buyer had a choice to own from the collection on signing.
