The first was a large, dusky painting, a seemingly sloppy, chaotic mess of painted-on-the-spot-sprays of a wayward, loose-jointed, somewhat-distant-from-reality-art-y, arty-assish-street-art-mimetic-art-artist-ish-fashion. The painting is a kind of distorted, volumetric, slightly-flicker-like version of the image of the gallery walls that its title describes. This is a picture of a less-than-idealized, messy, and up-and-coming side of town, and it is at once comically (if only in a slightly-blandered way) warmly (albeit sarcastically) cloyingly and cheekily (if only in a slightly-blandered way) sartorialized. The second work, a very small, stylized painting, is a white canvas, a vaguely peep-show-like, and not much more. Its a kind of decorative, self-consciously-unfashionable, personal-style painting, a one-to-one-drawing of a sketchy-chic, bohemian-boy-in-street-wear-and-skirt-and-candy-style image of a girl in a red shirt and blue jeans with a shrimply, wan-ass ass. The painting is a kind of post-Modernist, pastiche of the kitsch of pop-cultural-idea-time.The other two works are both rather small, and they are also both rather abstract, with some trace of the familiar, and a dash of the random.

The central image, with its muddy, almost organic, earthy expansiveness, was taken from a pair of photo stills by a woman in a hijab, shot from behind and, in Bourgeois signature style, hand-tinted to a deep black. The picture is a sort of retro-reject: The woman is shown standing with her hands clasped in the air. The camera, which points at her in a nonchalant fashion, is always on her head, suggesting a kind of political conflict, a subversive, no-nonsense stance. The image is taken from a black-and-white photo taken by a woman of the same age as Bourgeois, of a woman in a hijab, her face obscured by a black hoodie. The subject has her hands on her hips, her eyes closed, her hair being barely braided, her expression not obvious. She is seen from behind and from a distance, but not really, as if she were still a child, or a child of another world. The photo is a kind of pictorial mirroring, a reflection of the viewer, who sees herself reflected in the image and is thus the subject. A third woman, in the same style as Bourgeois, is seen from behind, but from a somewhat different perspective, and is not the woman from the left. The camera is also a reflection of the woman, and she is shown with her hands on her hips and her face concealed by a hoodie. The woman is a kind of dreamer, a figure who sees herself as a child, a young woman with her hands on her hips, her face hidden by a hoodie.
ly photographed for irony, and a few other things. We do have a few pictures of the artists and a couple of street people in the street, but the rest is just a bunch of postmodernist clichés. The point is that, as the artist has said, he has never been very well versed in art history. He has studied Greek mythology, and he knows the basics of how to make a picture, but he does not have the skills to be a painter. He has never had the experience to know what to make. He has not had the time to go through all the classical lessons that painting takes to teach. He has not had the time to learn about the history of art. He has never had the knowledge to be able to make a persuasive case for his own place in the history of art. He has never had the time to learn about how to make pictures that will help to liberate us from the pressures of time and space, that will lead us to the future, and that will be true of all time. He has not had the time to understand the complexities of the way history works and what it means to be an artist. He has not had the time to know what the future is. He hasnt had the time to be aware of how history works, or how the past is made. He hasnt had the time to be a painters painter. He doesnt have the time to understand the significance of the process of painting, or the need for a future.

On the whole, the exhibition was a microcosm of the current art scene, a sociological term for a group of artists working in their personal and sometimes dysfunctional relationships with the mainstream world. The two main artists, both of whom are in their fifties, were drawn to artmaking by the intimacy and range of personal experiences they had gained from working with a group of friends in a small town in the American Midwest. The younger artist, Mike Kelley, is an amateur animator who draws pictures for the boys club and has been exhibiting for the past two years. Kelley is a visual artist who makes clay figurines for the local baseball team. His work has always been based on a genre of childhood, and it is not surprising that he has become interested in the narrative potential of the alluring child. The other artist, Dr. Richard Ruppersberg, is a painter and graphic designer whose work deals with the human body, and who has been making drawings and prints for the past two years. Ruppersberg is a gay man who has been showing at the downtown gallery for the past five years. The drawings and prints in the show are of naked figures in intimate situations, such as under beds or in bathrooms. The drawings are very detailed and precise, with the exception of one drawing in which the artist has drawn a penis in a bowl and a woman with her legs up. The prints are small, and in the context of the show they were seen mainly as documentation of the work of these two artists, but they also reveal a fascination with what one might call the body, a fascination with its fleshiness. A few of the prints are purely abstract, but none of them are by any means unemotional, and they certainly have a strong emotional presence.The show was divided into two groups of works.

This is the only way to be able to be conscious of the world, and the only way to be free of it.
