Bebe Buell is one of the coolest rocker chicks of all time, been in
playboy, the inspiration for Cameron Crowe's Penny Lane from the movie
Almost Famous, has a movie star daughter, Liv Tyler, and is now
releasing her 1st album in 10 years which even includes a cover of a
Johnny Thunders track. We got to catch up with Bebe Buell and got to
talk with her about everything from her new album to John Lennon.
All The Colors of The Musical Spectrum - Jessica Reynoza
Follin Gallery 45 Bleecker NYC through Dec 17.
Opening November 17th 6-8 PM
These star studded works by Reynoza smear the balance of music and art relentlessly with vigor and meter. Willowz( for the uninitiated a pop rock combo from Anaheim, California), bass player Reynoza, spawns multiple levels of creativity in an otherwise brackish and blurry atmosphere of indie culture and the cumulative counter cultures of the 90's combined.
We bring to the plate a pate' of Rock Icons, Hens and the acceleration of Beer culture based on the empirical deducement of borderline white trash behavior patterns. These new pieces are charming to the voyeuristic appeal

Splitting Twilight,
an exhibition of new paintings by Kristin Baker, opens at Deitch
Projects on November 5, 2009. Baker continues to push the
contradictions inherent in the genre of painting while simultaneously
celebrating its history. The new body of work playfully remixes the
legacy of landscape painting within a modernist structure.
Kristin Baker is bending painting’s seeming limitations. By
emphasizing the materiality of paint through her built up layers of
troweled acrylic, Baker’s paintings approach other two-dimensional
practices such as printmaking, photography and paper assemblage. While
upholding the power and dynamism of painting, Baker seeks to create a
third dimension in between many genres and hindered by none. Her
compositions combine illusionistic and pictorial space as well as
blatantly artificial forms and surfaces. Each mark and shape is created
not by a brush but by an outline of torn tape. The final silhouette is
filled in with paint, and when the tape is ripped away, a free-floating
“gesture” or “mark” is added to the piece.
