Some information about his show opening in March:
"Paul Chan's digital videos combine outsider art, surrealism, and popular culture in dystopian visions engendered by events of grave social injustice. Past projects have engaged such groups as the Black Panther Party, the Teamsters, Indymedia, Voices in the Wilderness, and the Friends of William Blake. The centerpiece of his exhibition at the Society will be a series of eighteen large, text-based, ink drawings of fonts that convert the keyboard into pornographic language derived from characters in the work of Marquis de Sade, a figure whose carnal transgressions questioned the limits of individual sovereignty. The exhibition will also include large portraits of the Supreme Court Justices and two new moving-image works." |

Go! Xavier is great, and it's the first New York City Gold Coast show. It's just like Gagosian Fifth Avenue, you go past a doorman and up the elevator in an area that doesn't have so many galleries. |

I'm really interested in these images and it's reminding me how much I like Dubuffet. Maybe it has something to do with the ambiguity of mode here: they aren't cartoons, they aren't necessarily expressionistic, they aren't abstract. They feel very advanced, and I love that they're huge. Subsequent generations so far lack convincing, large-scale public sculpture. All I can think of is Isa Genzken's giant rose at the moment.
Anyway, all the information is over at Contemporary Art Daily, which I'm working hard on.
