Hi-Fructose Touches Base with Kiel Johnson

Hi-Fructose Magazine chatted with Kiel Johnson about his upcoming solo exhibition at Mark Moore Gallery, and documented his “swan song for dying technology”on the publication’s blog.

They not only preview Johnson’s exhibition (opening October 17th, 2009), but also discuss his concept and statement for the show – which is refreshingly autobiographical. Check out the full length feature here.

Ultrasonic IV on Daily Serving

Daily Serving’s Catherine Wagley wrote an extensive and lovely review of Ultrasonic IV for Daily Serving  – which you can read here. Wagley considers the “remix approach” and how the exhibition discusses “rephrasing visual legacies in a way that suggests nostalgia can be prescient.”

Which reminds us, Ultrasonic is only on view through October 10 – so make your way over to the Westside if you haven’t already!

Ryan Taber Also Garnering Vandalism in NYC

MMG previously reported that Ryan Taber and his fellow LMCC project participants were the subject of many a writer’s pontifications, but it would seem they are also the target of many a vandal’s tags.

ArtInfo and Flavorpill are the first to report on the details from the LentSpace site. Luckily, Taber has kept his trademark cool during the incident, saying “I’m not worried at all about the sentiment.”

Let’s try to keep our criticisms to the blogosphere, shall we?

Chicago Loves Jason Salavon

Looks like Jason Salavon is all over the Windy City these days! Chicago’s annual Artists’ Month (which runs throughout October) will spotlight several emerging and established artists of note, including Jason, with exclusive programming and city-wide events.

Simultaneously, the artist will be participating in two exhibitions in Chicago. Glass Curtain Gallery at Columbia College will be showing work by Jason through October 30th, 2009, while Hyde Park Art Center will feature him in a solo exhibition, Spigot, which will run September 20, 2009 – January 17, 2010, at the  Jackman Goldwasser Catwalk Gallery.

Spigot is a rendition of the digital projection piece featured in Jason’s 2008 show with Mark Moore Gallery, so if you missed it here, here’s your second chance!
