Deitch

In this group show spanning several generations, the relationship
between art and these two most familiar forms of intoxicated
transcendence is examined through a clouded lens, blurred by pot smoke
and beer goggles. Drunk vs. Stoned 2 continues to monitor the effects
of these two altered mind states, to determine what promise, if any,
they may still hold in relation to making and thinking about art. The
artist as a self-conscious and deliberate thinker is recast as
shamanistic meta-physician, alone in the studio in a state of primal
creative ecstasy. The unconscious processes of the artist that exist
outside of language, those moments of rare chance, and accident that
lead to discovery or disaster, are celebrated here in the second
installation of this ongoing project. The exhibition will included
existing works by: Thomas Bayrle, Pedro Bell, Anne Collier, Bruce
Conner, Martin Creed, Robert Crumb, Jeremy Deller, Mike Kelley, Martin
Kippenberger, Yayoi Kusama, Adam McEwen, Henri Michaux, Richard Prince,
Pruitt & Early, Charles Ray, Jim Shaw, Steven Shearer. It will also
include new works made for Drunk vs. Stoned 2 by: Edgar Bryan,
Dearraindrop, Jason Fox, Rachel Harrison, Mary Heilmann, Evan Holloway,
Chris Johanson, Nick Lowe, Sarah Lucas, Abel McHone, Paul Noble,
Elizabeth Peyton, Monique Prieto, Rebecca Warren, Franz West. And many
more. Mike Kelley’s work will be on view at GBE @ Passerby, located on
436 West 15th Street.
We are very pleased to announce the first New York solo exhibition by SWOON. Turning the 76 Grand Street gallery into a ramshackle labyrinthine city of paper and paint, SWOON will be producing her most ambitious installation to date.
SWOON’s worlds are often populated by realistically rendered-- and evocatively cut-out- street people, often her friends and family. Riding bikes, talking on a stoop, going grocery shopping-- these people traverse a cityscape of her own unique invention.
