Wayne Lo. I wrote about this mass murderer after visiting him in his prison. After the visit, I think our letters (email for me) starting turning for the worse. Shit talk like you wouldn’t believe including every possible prison joke, to pimp and ho relationships, and other sick shit. Wayne of course says it’s all me, and I of course say it’s all him. But in the end, we’re both talking mad sick shit to each other. Then I stopped, what the fuck am I doing wasting time writing crap back and forth? I suppose it’s easy for me since I’m just writing a quick email. It can take all of 1 minute, but Wayne is scrawling pages and pages of shit. Sometimes a five page letter will show up with no redeeming sentences in it. But life goes on and now he’s found a new hobby! I’m always telling folks that they should work on their art, and I told Wayne the same thing. Now, a few months later, he’s already selling it here. Maybe he’ll set up an art show in his prison. His work is all about his one time prison band Skid Lo. Right now it’s band logos and t-shirt designs. Musically, Wayne is trapped in the late 80s and early 90s, and he’s a huge Sebastian Bach fan, hence the name. After one rockin’ show, the band broke up. Wayne told me that the band’s guitar player was caught (red handed?) in his cell “doing it” with another prisoner a week later. Rock stars…

Tara DonovanUntitled (Plastic Cups) 2006PaceWildenstein Gallery in Chelsea NY545 W. 22nd Street, New York, N.Y. 10011 Tara Donovan makes environments from everyday items. In this show it’s plastic cups, tons of them, and the room turns into a landscape. The work seems simple, but when you find out that she’s done a large body of work with this concept, it’ll amaze. Walking around the borders, I had the typical stupid questions, how many cups, how long did it take, so on and on. Only the stupid stuff that everyone else was probably thinking.

The great Saelee Oh‘s show at GRNY won’t disappoint. Photos will be up soon in the transmissions and also the gallery section. Saelee combine fine painting skill, characters, cut outs, and a light touch that make her work crafts tight and charming. I haven’t figured out which one I’m getting yet! The opening yesterday was pelted by rain! A storm came into NY and showered the town, nonetheless some nice guests, and the idea that no low shelves will be made in the gallery section. Construction in GRNY2 starts next week, and now, a small change of plans for the better. Harvard GSD Quote of the minute (not by us). We met a cool dude named Landon who reads GR, I think religiously. When we asked, what should we do in Boston? He excitedly replied, “Come to my house!” We were thinking, “huh?” He’s fine, no worries.
