Henoch/Broan - ICE 2000 - Harvey/Am. Fine Arts - DoDots
Gallery Henoch - Cynthia Broan Gallery - d.u.m.b.o.
Artcall gets credit for being the first media outlet to put up anything on Jonathan Feldschuh's first one-person show in New York. Hundreds of other serious media writers will follow our lead over the next decade.
Now before we break our hand patting ourselves on the back and get too far ahead of ourselves, Gallery Henoch and the Mel Leipzig retrospective show deserves some contemplation. Lepzig, a Fulbright scholar and 15 year Henoch veteran, put on a marvelous display of psycological realism in the show that the gallery has running until October 19th. The gallery is now relocated from its old Wooster street digs to Chelsea and you can watch the work on the space progress daily. Maybe the basement will be done for the Diane Fenster show that opens on October 26th.
When Mark Kostabi rants and raves about someone, ArtCall perks up our ears a little. The Jonathan Feldschuh show at Cynthia Broan Gallery was the subject of all of Kostabi's attention. "I think that this is wonderful," Mark quipped from Kostabi World "I'm writing about Feldschuh next in my next Shout Magazine column!" Kostabi added further.As we took in the heavily glazed works, we too were taken by the uniqueness of the work. The show runs until November 4th and is definitely worth a look-see.
Here is a huge slide show of all the activities of September 25th, coverage of the Smack Mellon show in the d.u.m.b.o. district is also covered.
Another inspiring perfomance of Get Naked II, starring Katherine Chronis and friends, went down at Collective Unconscious on September 30th. A 14 disk extravaganza will be made into a slide show for your viewing pleasure and announced at the next ArtCall Diary.
Internetcontnet had a press conference mid-afternoon. As the event wound itself to a close, I did manage to get a backpack for my editrix. The pack seemed much better put together than the one from Streaming Media East. A warm sunshine greeted us as it was time for taxis uptown. The ArtCall take on Internet Content East 2000: It wasn't big and fancy by any standard, but there was something for everyone (even us) and everyone left happy in one way or another.
Do Dots
DoDots is the kind of application that falls into that spectacular category. I got the buzz on them before Internet Content East from a press release. Visiting the website, it became apparent that something really wild was going on. Downloading the HomeDot was an easy and painless experience. Dots can be explained as having a mini-browser on your desktop. But Dots go way beyond that in that they are very subject specific. This is something ArtCall is a part of and once we are good with developer code we will be happy to make you a Dot. Dots can handle all kinds of programming codes within them. ABC Television was the first big entity to have a Dot. I wonder what your Dot will eventually look like and what it will do. Look for the Welcome to Webbittown Dot on the Dot Homepage soon.
I left Emily Harvey, and began the trip to American Fine Arts Company at 22 Wooster Street for the second half of the double Chris Verene show. As I turned the corner of Spring and Wooster there was a huge mob of folks up and down Wooster. It turned out that there was about a half a dozen galleries open. At the Colin DeLand art emporium even more psychological realism greeted me. This time the format was photos, as opposed to the paintings of Gallery Henoch. I went in for the kill on the telling little detail in each picture. Good things seem to run in streaks, and this made the Gallery Henoch and American Fine Arts shows all the more important to see.
