Program, Like-Minded, group show at Plug In ICA, curated by Micah Lexier (2012)

Be still, my heart, is that—no!—left-justified, twelve-point Times New Roman? On an exhibition program? Just to show how much you care about not looking like you care too much? You guys, where am I? Why, if I just closed my eyes, this could practically be Toronto in 2010, or New York City in 2007!

Winnipeg, you don’t even know how lucky you are.

I can’t remember the last time an exhibition I was looking forward to so much made me want to just go back to bed so badly.

Ellsworth Kelly – Plant Drawings
June 5 – September 3, 2012
Accompanied by a publication
One of the foremost artists of our day, Ellsworth Kelly (American, b. 1923) may be best known for his rigorous abstract painting, but he has made figurative drawings throughout his career, creating an extraordinary body of work that now spans six decades. There has never been a major museum exhibition dedicated exclusively to the plant drawings. The selection of approximately eighty drawings begins in 1948 during Kelly’s early sojourn in Paris and continues throughout his travels to his most recent work made in upstate New York.

Am I seriously going to have to go to New York this summer? Also I need that catalogue like ten years ago.
