New York City: Chelsea Art Exhibits, Part I...

[@Broody58]

Mary's critique, explainations exceed the work. Her words are gold to these artists. Always positivity, even about the shockingly morbid, or weak displays sometimes shown. I hope she gets the thanks she deserves.

[@Creativeassemblages]

From an artist who lives in an isolated region, and has no access to galleries, I always look forward to your videos. Love the soft telling of your thoughts about the works. The choices of artists in this video were amazing. Thank you for taking the time to share their works.

[@MaryLynn_Buchanan]

I'm so glad I can share this with you 🙏

[@mytinplaterailway]

You - and your camera person - do a great job making these films. Beautiful.

[@AngelaJulbe-Saca]

Hi thx for sharing beautiful 🤩so very beautiful.

[@rachelhenson6668]

Thankyou for another great video.....Liza Lou's work is very beautiful.....I especially loved the piece shown at 10:50, it reminds me of a buddleia shrub waiting for the butterflies to arrive!

[@bubblemachina]

Really enjoyed this walkthrough and discovering Josh Kline. I was delighted to see Pieter Schoolwerth too, his Weird parties were such an important part of NYC music/art culture.

[@georgegiann6090]

Thanks again for an awesome presentation of inspiring artwork. I love your outfit too,

[@joshuaabbey2101]

Floccinaucinihilipilification describes a lack of imagination among those more intimidated than made curious by art. Mary Lynn, your calm contemplation and depth of reference combined with your grace and charm make touring contemporary art an insightful joy and learning experience. Only the subtle wallpaper music distracts me somewhat from fully observing the visual compositions you share. Thank you!

[@MehryarMaliheh]

This video made morning Monday. Truly enjoyed it. thank you.

[@MaryLynn_Buchanan]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@lolachlih3136]

Thank for another great tour❤

[@hugomejia264]

Exelent work, thanks, I love your art reports, I would also like to see some photography exhibition, it would be fabulous

[@alanclayton9277]

i'm seeing a comment of the ' anybody can do that' school of thought. someone once attached a public urinal to a gallery wall and it's a strategy that has echoed down art history. sometimes art catches us unawares and we are 'forced into understanding something rather than liking or disliking it. really feels like you're taking us back into the swing of things and to anyone pondering wether to subscribe to this channel, ' it's great!'.

[@karln3463]

So many times people seem to use lack of understanding or education to justify what is just poorly created trash. The urinal example was never art, just a dick trying to push the limits of the rules, meant simply to attack the organizers. Only after the fact did the full justification machine start so you can't even rely on "intension" like many do now...

[@markryan8122]

Thank you Mary Lynn. Cool, classy, as always!

[@BritPopSnob]

I love your videos I haven’t seen very much that I do not find interesting. I am usually introduced to at least one artist whose work I have not seen before. I was very enthusiastic about the Liza Lou & Gina Beavers shows. Thank-you for doing these videos of exhibitions that someone not in New York at the moment would be able to enjoy.

[@paullynn473]

Chelsea Hotel certainly has its fair share of sordid stories. Josh Kline for me has a creepy world view ❤, Schoolwerth a very colourful artist, thank you for the tour of NYC I am 14,000 kilometres away, 😂

[@chantalrochon3566]

Thank you for sharing this video 😊

[@MaryLynn_Buchanan]

My pleasure 😊

[@hughjames8339]

Mary,great job on camera work.I love how you slow down in the video ❤

[@willywonka1854]

so glad I found you!!

[@janetatuniquerawfoods2361]

Thank you. I found it pretty intense. Liza Lou is commended for developing all that work on her own. I like the pieces that are more minimal… seeing them on a screen that is. Mer Schoolwerks pieces I felt had an air of being unfinished. And stepping out with a broader perspective… painting on a printed canvas… from digital… lacks. There are many other ways that I would refine it all. But to each his own. And it may be a bigger discussion… I found the monochromatic sculpture type pieces on the wall a better resolution. Nice work. Much appreciation to you and film crew. Sincerely, Janet

[@jamesslate6664]

I hope that in the next part of your Chelsea tour, you'll be stopping at Hauser & Wirth to check out the iconic works of the late Leon Golub, who was among the favourite graduates of Chicago's SAIC.

[@leba51able]

The exhibitions are surprising, some more, others less, and Miss Mary enchants us greatly

[@christians_kunst_ecke]

Thank u for beautiful sidewalk thru NY👍

[@randycummings8012]

Always love your content!! Wish you would consider create a business conducting gallery tours!!!!!!!!!

[@UrsulaGörgen]

Danke für Chelsea Und die Arbeit uns das zu zeigen. Auseinandersetzung Ist angesagt. In Liebe Ursula Görgen Bonn

[@CelestialShaman44]

Chelsea is SUBLIME😍

[@luisponceart]

Mary Lynn is Sublime too

[@austingaebe1731]

Personally, I find Kline's work to be a bit too self-serious and obvious to share your enthusiasm. The idea that creatives have to "sacrifce" themselves for their career is an inherently self-aggrandizing notion given the fact that art, by nature of its existence in today's world, *must* engage with capitalism. It's also not a terribly deep idea and I don't think the sculptures mine it for any further insights beyond the obvious. Schoolwerth, on the other hand, is dealing with similar themes, but his work plays with them by manipulating the medium itself as a form of critique and conversation that, to me, is far more interesting than Kline's.

[@MsAston007]

Dali goes digital!🫥

[@wmg5852]

Seeing the usual non-nascent philosophical yays and nays in the comments section is always amusing. When it comes to art, I always liked what Peter Schjedahl wrote- "(artists’) most intense function is to make us unknow things that we thought we knew in order to experience joys we can hardly bear." How often that truly happens to any one of us probably rivals viewing a solar eclipse, but I sorta-kinda use it as a benchmark, knowing the art world and all these wonderful galleries abhor a vacuum.

[@asynchronicity]

Non-nascent….?

[@asynchronicity]

Would love to see Schoolwerth’s canvases in person as it is impossible to see the physical connection between the digital and the actual paint on my digital device.

[@MaryLynn_Buchanan]

They are great in person

[@alphajava761]

I believe there are no boundaries. There's no such thing as cheating. Whatever you need to do to create the image in your head is what's important.

[@EnvoyeeSpeciale-ey9bx]

A part l'art textile, toutes les autres productions sont , à mon goût, d'un goût douteux. L'Art est devenu le mot le plus malmené du vocabulaire. Emballer des corps ( leur représentation ) dans du plastique...on nous l'avait pas encore faite celle là. Une Tilda dans une cage de verre, si ...j'oubliais. Et commencer une vidéo par un petit déjeuner dans un café -patisserie de luxe....quel concept ! Au moins on a échappé au défilé de mode !

[@violent_world]

did you see Sid Vicious in there 😅

[@МихаилПервый-в5я]

😂😂читаю комментарии ,и многие уходят в философию😂😂 если это искусство, то все гораздо проще, либо нравится или Нет. Вопрос в другом, А Искусство ли это!? Тут каждый решает Сам.

[@snowcountry322]

Liza Lou💯😍

[@michaelklein8105]

This is art as a product its value is like Bit Coin to be bought and sold among an esoteric group A craftsman could make any of this art THAT'S IT! I will pay a craftsman to create a man in a plastic bag and put my name on it and get in a NY gallery Where are Andy and Marcel when we need them?

[@aminal101]

It’s almost like these artists and craftsmen have learned the skills required to make this art like this lol. But anyone can make art man I know the art market is trash but let’s not pretend these artist don’t give af about the art they make

[@JorgeNadal-fe8hi]

Well said. What you see there is NOT art, but craft. The whole concept is like The Emperor's New Clothes. Touche'!

[@frankpapandrea1]

Stop categorizing art; paintings, mixed media, sculpture, etc.; it is all art, communication...the time is now.

[@rjnuzzi1648]

Are we still discussing what's a painting?? Young people don't care; everything done on a computer

[@TimothyJohnLukeSmithPSA]

The Art...Style over substance...what happened to creating beauty? The only elegance I had seen in any of those galleries is you, by far.

[@larryj1048]

Well the world is full of paintings of vases of flowers for people who have “traditional “ tastes.

[@donovanfisher6945]

What is it like to be so fake

[@cindyoverall8139]

BS , GIMMICKERY … WILL IT EVER STOP?!?

[@rubo1964]

most of these works will be obsolete in few years.....trends end....If taking an image printing on canvas then painting it over seems bit how can I say none skilled? With that mindset its basically destruction of what it means a painting.

[@ranestorypictures1738]

I didn't see anything but trendy bs here.

[@lauraleesimons1966]

Contemporary art is about innovation and paving a new path in the direction of how things can be represented or made. This is not realistic painting so you are doing a disservice to these artists by trying to place them in a box that they don’t belong. Also, I would say that these art works will be historical bench markers of the time in which they are created. The future is coming on. We can resist it which in the end is futile or we can work with it and find ways collaborate with technology. I think these works are very intriguing, expressive and beautiful.

[@reinaldosanguino]

@@lauraleesimons1966 some people want to be in the past to feel safe in their understanding of "reality" The evolution of consciousness is a prolonged process.

[@BritPopSnob]

@@reinaldosanguinoVery well done. Sorry folks but photography started in the 1840s. Art has meaning beyond a reflection of what the human’s eye perceives as reality.

[@mozartwa1]

contemporary artists parasitize on the culture of consumption and entertainment, and endless KZbinrs parasitize on artists by continuously filming their wanderings around galleries and taking short breaks to advertise the cafes, restaurants and bistros along the way.

[@larryj1048]

Is “parasitize” a word? You really blew the whole art world apart and exposed it’s hollow superficiality with your incisive analysis!

[@mozartwa1]

@@larryj1048 read my text through the prism of ecology and biology, not ideology and propaganda. if you don't like the word - write it off to the fact that I'm not an English speaker. I speak based on thoughts and experience, and not on the emotions of a person who hasn't even read a textbook on aesthetics or art history))

[@mozartwa1]

@@larryj1048 contemporary art is a social indulgence given to artists, allowing them not to be forcibly hospitalized. and all because it became profitable to extract big money from it, turning it into an entertainment industry, and not because society has become more tolerant of people with disabilities. in the 20th century, cinema was the entertainment industry, and now it's the turn of contemporary art. no artist has ever made us smarter, kinder or more educated by creating his "research", just as no shamanic practice has made us healthier. if this happened, it was only thanks to placebo, and not dried monkeys)).
