Grace Glueck,
“Update 1984-85,” The New York Times, June 21, 1985
Update 1984-85 (White Columns, 325 Spring Street): Each season, this nonprofit
alternative space gives individual shows to 18 “emerging artists”
in its small back gallery. And this group exhibition of paintings –
one to an artist – brings them all out together in the large main
room. Sad to report, it’s a less-than-inspired gathering. But four
or five artists do stand out, which may be an O.K. average at that. Drew
Shiflett’s “Big Fish,” a massive relief structure of
acrylic, wood and paper, makes very nice plays of scale (no pun intended)
and texture in its witty conjunction of a large, gray-brown fish and a
smallish couple seated in a room. Marcia King’s feisty
“Uptown,” another relief piece, is a work of inspired wit.
Through the grandly arched windows of a patrician white structure that’s
going to pot, we see collaged versions of President and Mrs. Reagan sharing
their abode with several other occupants, including a trapeze artist.
Paint runs
thick in Pam Weadick’s “Dune,” a hefty, impressive beachscape
of monumentalized forms, and also in Barbara Friedman’s “Mirrored
Head,” a giant cut-out of the back of a woman’s head, the
face – in blue – revealed in a hand mirror. There’s
a fine tension here between “real” and Expressionist color
and form. Not quite in the key of these works, but very appealing is John
Maggiotto’s small book of color photos taken off the television
screen, teasing in their ambiguity. (Through June 29.)
