Might stop this countdown thing. I’m not sure what I’m counting down to anyway, and I always have to go find my last personal post and see what the number was.
Aaaaaaanyway. Y’all. We’re like, 22 days away from vacation. I menstruated last week so I didn’t to my Couch to 10K, but I’m gonna get on it for the next month so I can confidently go for runs in the Hamptons. It’s gonna give me a great opportunity to see the landscape and neighborhoods. Looking forward to it!
I have great shoes, but the rest of my running gear is pretty bummy. I basically look like what you would imagine a punk runner looks like. Should I get like some nicer tights or something? I think it’ll help me feel more confident, either way. And when I get new gear I really like to use it, which means I’ll be more motivated to actually exercise regularly.
Extreeeeeeemely excited to visit sculpture garden, Pollock-Krasner House, the distillery, many wineries, and hella restaurants. I’m take so many NAPS

Buffie Johnson (1912 - 2006), who began showing her paintings in the 1930’s, continued to exhibit until the end of her life. In 2002, in honor of her 90th birthday, she was the subject of a one-woman show at the Anita Shapolsky Gallery in New York. Last year, the gallery featured her work as part of its group exhibition “Betty Parsons and the Women.”
A woman of independent means, Ms. Johnson was by all accounts a woman of sociable temperament, and her life was intertwined with those of some of the 20th century’s leading artists, writers and performers. Over the years, she befriended, socialized with or otherwise brushed up against a cast of luminaries including Paul and Jane Bowles, Truman Capote, Willem de Kooning, Lawrence Durrell, Greta Garbo, Patricia Highsmith, Gene Krupa, Gypsy Rose Lee, Robert Motherwell, Jackson Pollock and Lee Krasner, Mark Rothko, Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas, Gore Vidal and Andy Warhol.
In her work, Ms. Johnson was concerned with the intersection of spiritualism, myth and symbol. Deeply influenced by the psychiatrist Carl Jung, whom she also befriended, she wrote “Lady of the Beasts: Ancient Images of the Goddess and Her Sacred Animals,” published by Harper & Row in 1988.
Buffie Johnson was born in New York City on Feb. 20, 1912. After studying at the University of California, Los Angeles, she embarked for Europe, where she trained with the noted painters Francis Picabia and Stanley William Hayter. In 1943, she was included in an exhibition at Peggy Guggenheim’s New York gallery, Art of This Century, which featured the work of 31 women.
Ms. Johnson’s earliest works tended toward the Surrealist; then came more abstract canvases of intense color and pure form. In later years, she turned to huge realistic paintings of flowers and other plant forms, which were imbued with texture through their profuse, veiny detail.
Ms. Johnson sometimes figured in the work of her celebrated friends — she was photographed by Edward Weston, André Kertesz and Karl Bissinger — and they sometimes figured in hers. One of her best-known paintings from the 1940’s is a portrait of Tennessee Williams.
It was an association Ms. Johnson came to regret after she let Williams stay in her house. He used the good china when he wasn’t supposed to.

POLYMORPHIC POLKA
Sculptures by Leslie Fry
May 17 – June 9, 2024
Opening Reception: Friday, May 17, 6:00-8:00PM
325 Project Space, 325 St Nicholas Ave Ridgewood, Queens, NY
Gallery Hours: Sat/Sun 12-5pm and by appt.
325 Project Space is pleased to present: Polymorphic Polka, an exhibition of sculpture by Leslie Fry. In addition to works in the main gallery, the exhibition will include a series of bronze works exhibited in our outdoor space. Works in the exhibition consist of cast hybrid forms as well as sculpted elements in ceramic, wood and resin.
Articulating connections between the natural and constructed world, Fry’s sculptures respond to architecture, history, the human form, and the flotsam of everyday life. Fry’s figures are typically female or hermaphrodite, of imaginary descent, and melded with elements to portray strength, shelter, and metamorphosis. The exhibition will also feature a series of stacked forms evoking connection, precariousness and the uncertainty of our present time. Fry’s masterful use of imagery and the sheer physicality of her materials provide a sensual and surreal experience.
325 Project Space is an unpredictably periodic exhibition and event space organized by Jeff Feld, @feldjeff, [email protected] and located at 325 St Nicholas Ave in Ridgewood Queens. The project space is one block from the Myrtle/Wycoff stop on the L or M subway lines, approximately 25 minutes from Union Square. Gallery hours are Sat/Sun 12-5pm and by appt.
Leslie Fry's sculptures, drawings, and prints have been exhibited internationally in museums and galleries such as Kunsthaus in Hamburg, Zwitscher Machine Gallery in Berlin, Hangaram Art Museum in Seoul, Windspiel Galerie in Vienna, Couvent des Cordeliers in Paris, deCordova Sculpture Park near Boston, Centre des Arts Visuels in Montreal, and Artists Space, Garvey Simon, and Wave Hill in New York.
Public sculptures have been commissioned in New York, South Korea, Montreal, Florida, Wisconsin, and Vermont. Public collections include Tufts University, Songchu International Sculpture Park, Freehand New York, Kohler Arts Center, Tampa Museum of Art, Fleming Museum of Art, Musée d’art de Joliette, and St. Petersburg, Florida’s Museum of Fine Arts.
Awards and fellowships include the Vermont 2023 Governor’s Award for Excellence in the Arts, The Pollock-Krasner Foundation, U.S. Embassy Vienna, Chateau d’Orquevaux, Yaddo, Monson Arts, Vermont Arts Council, Kohler Arts/Industry Program, Fundacion Valparaiso, Blue Mountain Center, I-Park, Marble House Project, Virginia Center for the Creative Arts, Anderson Ranch, Ragdale Foundation, Vermont Studio Center, and Millay Arts.

more about this particular work, quoted from here:
"Sculpture with Boots (2017) by Rachel Harrison (American, b. 1966) is a nearly eight-foot-tall, abstract form that recalls natural rock formations, but is painted with vibrant hues that segue from gridded patches to more free-form gradations of iridescent color. Known for combining “high” and “low” cultural references, Harrison affixed a framed photograph she took at the Pollock-Krasner House in Springs, New York, of worn, paint-splattered shoes identified as “Lee Krasner’s painting boots” to the sculpture. It may be read as a gesture of tribute to one of the few prominent female artists associated with the Abstract Expressionist movement, who is known to have closely influenced Pollock."

Houses No: 962
The Creeks
Location: East Hampton, NY
Year: 1970
Designed by: Alfonso Ossorio
When artist Alfonso Ossorio died at the age of 74 in 1990, he left behind a remarkable legacy of art, diaries, photographs, letters and other historic materials documenting a lifetime of artistic and cultural activity. Ossorio acquired The Creeks, a 60 acre estate designed by Grosvenor Atterbury on Georgica Pond in East Hampton, NY from the Herter family in 1952. Here, Ossario Alfonso exhibited works he collected of his colleagues like Jean Dubuffet and Jackson Pollock as well as the work of Willem de Kooning, Lee Krasner and Clyfford Still, among others. The brilliantly graphic design of the pool was dreamed up in 1970 by the American-Filipino artist who is a master of abstract expressionism. It occupies what was once the artist’s home in East Hampton, Long Island—now the Ossorio Foundation. The pool itself is painted black to allow the water to reflect the ever-changing sky above, while the red and blue Harlequin print that surrounds it symbolises faith, hope, and charity. Ossorio Foundation today is a splendid gallery space where scholars, collectors and other visitors could come to experience and study the depth of Ossorio’s lifetime of work.

“Modern art to me is nothing more than the expession of contemporary aims of the age we`re living in. All cultures have had means and techniques of expressing their immediate aims...the thing that interests me is that today painters do not have to go a subject matter outside of themselves.Most modern painters work from a different source. They work from within."
–Jackson Pollock (American, 1912-1956)
"Sea Change was painted at a transitional moment in Pollock’s career. In 1947, the dripping technique he occasionally exploited as a compositional element became his dominant method. Pollock had begun this work in 1946 as an easel painting executed with a brush, using vivid blues and pinks. In 1947, he laid the unfinished painting on his studio floor, transforming it with scattered gravel, dripped aluminum and glossy black house paint.
If we typically think of Pollock’s technique as a violent, instant manifestation of “expression,” Sea Change makes us reconsider. Recent analysis and conservation reveals that he carefully preserved parts of the original composition, obscured others with dripped paint, and finally balanced the forms with precisely placed blobs of pure color squeezed straight from the tube. Sea Change embodies the artist’s intent to create an entirely new visual idiom.
Sea Change, 1947, Jackson Pollock, artist and commercial oil paint, with gravel, on canvas, 57 7/8 x 44 1/8 in., Gift of Signora Peggy Guggenheim, 58.55, © 2007 The Pollock-Krasner Foundation."

Week 2 - Artist Essays
Juliana Cerqueira Leite is a New York-based Brazilian/American sculptor. Her work is now on display at Alma Zevi gallery in Venice, Italy, as part of the group show The Venice Show. Cerqueira Leite received the Kenneth Armitage Sculpture Prize in 2006 after graduating from the Slade School of Fine Art (UCL) Graduate Sculpture programme in London. T.J. Boulting represents her in London, England, Casa Triângulo in So Paulo, Brazil, and Alma Zevi in Venice, Italy.
Cerqueira Leite's work is inspired by post-minimalist concerns about the body in space. Her sculptures are aesthetically spectacular and tactile, and because of their historical inspirations and theatrical exuberance, they frequently elicit feminist interpretations. Cerqueira Leite, on the other hand, claims that her work does not have a "feminist message," but rather that its indisputably physical character reveals a fight between story and circumstance that speaks to universal human problems. Her sculptures connect the "practise" of art creating with the bodies of its creator and audience, depicting the ambiguity of means and ends, input and output. Many of Leite's large-scale sculptures are made by creating a void in a big volume of clay and then casting a positive cast of this gap in plaster or latex. The first component is accomplished without the use of tools by pushing, crawling, clawing, and climbing her way through the substance. Leite is unclothed while doing so, which affects the resulting cast's tactile properties - impressions of her feet, knees, elbows, and fingertips defining the surface condition, frozen imprints of her motions while removing material. The final piece's overall scale is based on the measurements of her own body and the range of mobility she has exercised.
Cerqueira Leite was awarded a Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant in 2019 for her show Orogenesis at the National Archaeological Museum in Naples, Italy. She received the 2016 Furla Art Prize for her participation to the 5th Moscow Young Art Biennale. She has had solo exhibitions in locations such as Instituto Tomie Ohtake in So Paulo, Arsenal Contemporary in New York and Montreal, Galeria Casa Triângulo in So Paulo, Alma Zevi gallery in Venice, Galleria Lorcan O'Neill in Rome, TJ Boulting in London, and Regina Rex Gallery in New York. She has also shown her work at Hordaland Kunstsenter for Bergen Assembly, the Sculpture Center in New York, the Ilmin Museum in Seoul, the Marres House for Contemporary Culture in Maastricht, and the Saatchi Gallery in London. Her work has been commissioned by worldwide Biennials and Triennials such as the 2017 Venice Biennale's Antarctic Pavilion, Bergen Assembly 2019, the Moscow Young Art Biennale, the Marrakech Biennale, and the 2014 Vancouver Sculpture Biennial.
On the other hand Tara Donovan, an American artist, creates large-scale installations, sculptures, and drawings out of common materials and things such as rubber bands, pencils, straws, and cups. Her compositions frequently imitate landscape, such as undulating hills, ocean waves, and cloud-like formations.
Tara Donovan was born in New York in 1969. She earned her BFA in 1991 from the Corcoran School of the Arts & Design in Washington, D.C., and her MFA in 1999 from Virginia Commonwealth University. Solo exhibitions of her work have been held at the Museum of Contemporary Art in San Diego, the St. Louis Art Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Institute of Contemporary Art in Boston, the Indianapolis Museum of Art, the Milwaukee Art Museum, the Museum of Modern Art in Denmark, and the Arp Museum Bahnhof Rolandseck in Germany. In 2008, she was awarded the coveted MacArthur Foundation Award, and in 2005, she was awarded the inaugural annual Calder Prize. She is based in Brooklyn and works there.
Donovan's sculptures are monumental in scale and explore ideas of accumulation and aggregation. Donovan's works challenge viewers to evaluate their behaviours and habits in a culture fueled by consumption by using mass-produced objects that are pervasive in society yet generally neglected. Her dedication to a labor-intensive, site-responsive process links her to movements like Postminimalism and Process Art, with analogies to artists like Richard Serra. Her expansive paintings have a pleasurably significant visual impact; the atmospheric effects of her art have been compared to seeing James Turrell's immersive works. Thousands of distinct elements are used in many of Donovan's installations, and the assembling of these individual components contributes to the overall sense of the works. 'Untitled (Styrofoam cups)' (2003/2008) portrays a cloud-like shape fashioned out of white styrofoam cups, conjuring up images of the cosmos. 'Colony' (2005) depicts a contour map of a full city or island, or a molecular structure, using a labyrinth of pencils sliced at various heights and bunched together. Donovan explores the beauty in daily items via this method, twisting the familiar into something new, and thereby transforming our inattentive behaviors into attractive works of art.
While both of them are famous for their prominence on huge artworks i.e. sculptures and paintings, Leite’s usage of body parts is the most noticeable difference among the two pioneers which is used to portray her art on the reflection of human body in a more significant manner. Tara on the other hand focuses on a contrasting motive using mainly stereotypical market products to insinuate a glimpse of a message indicating effects of wasting products in commercialism.
