Pastel On Paper, 30 by 40"
Ok, so who is going to come and hang out with Abe and little 'ol me this Sunday? In honor of the Armory weekend, we will be open this Sunday along with many of our other neighbor galleries in the Lower Eastside. We hope everyone gets a chance to stop by, have a drink, and check out Barnaby Whitfield’s solo show, “Little Deaths, All the Same” and his curatorial debut, “Warm, Red, Salt and Wet”. Hope to see you! I'm taking votes on what beverage to serve.

Evanescence - Everybody´s Fool
I generally do not write anything personal on this blog, but I am today. In the past 36 hours, I have seen people at their worst and most cruel. I used to believe that people are inherently good, but now I see things differently. I just wish someone could prove my new findings wrong.

Little Deaths, All The Same
March 20 - April 19, 2008
Reception: Thursday, March 20, 7-9pm
front gallery
31GRAND is pleased to announce Barnaby Whitfield’s third solo exhibition with the gallery.
In what he views as the final installment in a trilogy for 31GRAND; Whitfield’s Episode VI has the Ewoks drunk and randy with no sense of the impending tragedy, as water licks at their treetop climbing toes (except in Barnaby’s world the Ewoks are more likely to be Abraham Lincoln clones.) Narratives woven through the last two shows crash and burn, then intertwine again to take on new life in this boisterous suite of pastel paintings. Barnaby Whitfield considers his works on paper, paintings, as defined in this beloved and oft cited quote from the Pastel Society Of America “Generally, the ground is toned paper - if the ground is covered completely with pastel, the work is considered a Pastel Painting; a Pastel Sketch shows much of the ground. When protected by fixative and glass, pastel is the most permanent of all media, for it never cracks, darkens or yellows.” However he requests you do not ask him to quote it at the artist’s reception.
From lovingly using his art dealer to anthropomorphize the ‘Bird Flu’ to finding fictional passion with Hernan Bas on a men seeking men website, we continue to get amusing and rather untrustworthy glimpses into Whitfield’s experience in the art world. And besides an over all theme the artist states as “sexualizing the environmental crisis within the context of American politics” we also see the end to Barnaby’s quest for his real parents (Whitfield was one of those children that always suspected they were adopted even though they knew quite well they were not), and a startling turn of events in his ongoing Clonie series (a character created when the momentarily impoverished artist decided to sell nudes on eBay inadvertently gaining the attention of 31GRAND and being welcomed into the fold.)

Law of The Land,
site-specific installation (detail), mixed media on vinyl record
Stopped by this opening last night and really loved it. I wish I had images to post of her ant farm and glitter pieces. She's a good one to keep an eye on.

God is an Astronaut - The End of the Beginning
They'll be at the Knitting Factory Tap Bar on March 21st. Think I just may have to venture that way.
The new show is coming!
And Barnaby did it again. He managed to make a piece with a very unique vision of me in it. The one above is from 2005. Let's just say in the new pastel, he definitely over endowed a certain aspect of my figure. I'll be posting that one closer to the show.
