My review of Cyprien Gaillard’s solo New York show The Crystal World is now live on this is tomorrow. It was my first time visiting PS1, my first James Turrell, and my first Cyprien Gaillard show, and it was a beautiful snowy February day for doing new things. One especially nice thing was that Gaillard’s polaroid mosaics included images of my own home in Northern Ireland, the Bishop’s Gate and Dunluce Castle, among the post-Soviet dystopias and beer cans.
I recently reviewed the Ed Ruscha retrospective Standard at LACMA, which you can read here. It drew from LACMA’s collection of his work, and as such gave a pretty idiosyncratic overview of his development, at the expense perhaps of reiterating some of his most famous pieces. Plus, I’ve been in Special Collections at the Getty recently pulling up old Ruscha photo books, and it’s great to see them in context here.
