Reinventing Abstraction Curated by Raphael Rubinstein at CHEIM & READ

[@chriserskineartist]

Yes, this is a great show. Not only for the individual pieces, but the excellent work that a gallery can do by interpreting a period of time and a body of work. I wish that there were more galleries and curators like this one. Thanks James and Kate. Chris

6 years on, this one has some serious staying power. Love hearing your easy narration of this bygone era - kind of wistful, kind of enchanting.

[@AX1A]

Love it James! You're the best! Thanks Kate

[@bearbait7405]

The best, yet. 80s so forgotten. Brilliant.

[@boandersson9134]

Wow very nice to see! More!

[@TheCharmaineortiz]

so relevant now- a great looking show! and terrific documentation of it! Thanks James Kalm!

[@m.e.4579]

You seam to be the only person left, who is actually looking at paintings.

[@artboy2]

at 13:20 my art vlog worlds collide with the guy from Gorky's Granddaughter! Great report, I remember seeing these or many like them in art magazines in school in the early 90s, they were very influential, but imagine if back then I had access to the Kalm report! with those excellent detail shots, oh that would've been on another level! And yes that E. Murray is dynamite!

[@toddanthony631]

Terrific show, wonderful artwork, nice commentary by the curator, excellent :) :)

[@pedrogarciarias129]

Wonderful,thanks

[@IETCHX69]

NOT pretentious, over-the-top, nor preachy. Worth it.

[@vandolmatzis8146]

thanks grew up poring through old Flash art mags Great to see that Eighties painting is so influential

[@AllWeNeedIsLove77]

You have helped me to expand my exposure to art both known and unknown. Thank you very much

[@roymrbaxtercat9582]

thanks for posting this and the other recent abstraction shows-inspirational!

[@adriancarroll6995]

That early Stanley is magnificent. Hellman, Winters, Laskwr!

[@v3rshrik]

Great exhibition thanks James

[@simonlinke1]

Very enjoyable, thanks James. Particularly liked the David Reed theory on a street history of art. In London during the 70's there were some really magical but now obscure artists many of whom are well remembered by those that were around then but otherwise now invisible. It's almost like a private history which runs parallel with the familiar overview of the visible. I guess it's sort of the same of NY at the time.

[@boandersson9134]

Art is not over!

[@ignacioscheid8296]

Thank you very much for showing me some very interesting artists, like Jack Whitten : D

[@lisengel2498]

Its a great work of the gallery to make this focussed view - and very interesting to hear a bit the story about it even if it was terribly noisy because of the opening event - but thank you anyhow it IS very interesting and it is worth seeing more than once in spite of the noice and the lack of a total view on each painting before moving Round for details of color and brushstrokes etc

[@paulinawaas9204]

Thank you!

[@italogiardina8183]

Great, cogent interview, thankyou

[@kiwig76]

Wow! That has left my heart in a good place today...thanks James, Kate....Lorin in Boise

[@KayAmooty433]

You mentioned this in another Rubenstein curated event. Came over right away.

[@jameskalm]

This program has become one on my most watched and referenced programs...Thanks-JK

[@annelllivingston2797]

Thanks so much...I don't know why but the sound was a bit mixed up? Had to turn off the sound, but enjoyed seeing....

[@chrisdonahue]

Really enjoyed the Elizabeth Murray piece.

[@thirdrockjul2224]

Thank you Kate

[@herbertthewaterrat]

Nice video James, the sax player in the beginning hooked me in..

[@turkson1]

Just brilliant.

[@Akentrophyta]

Wow - a great learning experience! Thanks

[@mushymcsquishy]

really enjoyed this one. nice.

[@KerrynMadsenPietsch]

Like the artwork "16 Songs" by Stanley Whitney.

[@ebrfriekunstrom1290]

Nice. Where is this ? I am abstract painter, I live in Norway, many I will visit. this place... Is it in. New York ?

[@rbettsx]

I know it's always an opening with you, and noisybusy... And thanks for your films. But I find it really frustrating when there's no locked off shot, even for a second, to show an entire composition, before swimming in details.. Unless I've seen a whole piece, I have no idea what the details are for! I can imagine ways you could do that in the edit, without losing the sense of immediacy or the throng, if those are what you want to keep. (For example, you could try fading in/out of a freeze frame, while keeping the sound running.) You got to see the whole piece, still for a moment, at the show! I'm on the other side of the world, and didn't! I feel left out!

[@v3rshrik]

Come on Robin give James a break he tirelessly covers show after show which u and i watch for free

[@chrisartification]

Great show!

[@beedeeuniko]

How is binder and surface still so very important to mention?

[@gavinyates9189]

Thank you Kate, thank you everybody.

[@walkingnerf4520]

Nice show!

[@ARCTERYXSWEATSHOP]

fucking awesome, maybe someday you will get a 1080p resolution camera for my giant monitor & bandwidth haha! nonetheless 720 is gorgeous thank you mr. kalm.

[@hsghatora]

love it !

[@samradja5275]

Excellent

[@MichaelKrasowitz]

so when are we going to see a James Kalm exhibition videoed by all the artists he has shown.........this is a cool show......this stuff has integrity, something I think is lacking for the most part.....

[@lisengel2498]

It is very interesting but please show each piece in total before you move around on the painting and through the exhibition - that would give us a much greater view of what the painting is - and celebrate that to look at art is also to be present with something

[@RonSchira]

I remember, thank you.

[@danielmask3871]

Thank you for sharing. Feedback: Hold your camera still for at least 10 seconds in front of each piece. Then go in for close ups, but hold each close for at least 3 seconds. When you move the camera quickly it is garbage. The image waves. Great verbal insider stuff. Do you ever NOT like what you are seeing or do you only show what you like. You seem very diplomatic. Continue. Hold that camera still for all to see what you are pointing at.

[@Cre8iveSignWorks]

i was thinking exactly the same thing!

[@KennethBSmith]

[@نوفلنوفل-ه3ج]

Thinks from iraq

[@tamsinthai]

So basically, he's copying illustrations/diagrams from science books and calling it 'abstract art'. It isn't. BTW Next time go when it's NOT a noisy opening. Just saying.

[@rrdd8457]

+tamsinthai what a little snob you are. condescending remarks and pointless recommendations.... youtube is saturated with you people... even though it's a characteristic of having depression, and that's fine, i'll never understand why people call out that they are depressed in this way.

[@tamsinthai]

Rrdd Ah, ad hominem attack over addressing the content of the post. And what are you talking about 'depression'? Fool.

[@rrdd8457]

tamsinthai attack? try to not to be so emotionally sensitive, this is youtube and your entertainment. i'm only responding to my entertainment. yours is the video. it wouldn't be the same without you depressed people on here. fool? maybe, but i'm no snob.

[@tamsinthai]

Rrdd Look up 'ad hominem attack'. Duh.

[@rrdd8457]

tamsinthai this must be a word you learned recently in school and thinks it applies to everyone who emotionally offends you now. i could apply this to anyone, easily. you did it to me for sure. what's the point of addressing it? your just deflecting. interesting...

[@1miltond]

True is I like your videos don't care for you cometary and critics if you don't talk will be lots better no one should crtic art or artist that privilege is a personal experience for a each individuals to enjoy and patetick dilusional galleries owners that are no different then a car dealership salesmen

[@Hurious]

This is not a good way to look at paintings, and not a great way to comment on them. Didn’t enjoy.

[@LJD25]

Sad, boring, tired academic abstraction - but so typical of Cheim & Read gallery.

[@adriancarroll6995]

Squeeze yourself some Beanfield, dude?

[@thefrenchdesk]

Painting, a morbid artform. Totally.
