Sick as a dog

It was hard work, but well worth the trek to PS1 in Queens. On show was a collection of works by artists, that they had refused to sell. Awesome. And this amazing work, by an artist whose name I would share, if I could find the piece of paper I'd written her name on. Basically a moving montage of hand gestures ripped from daytime TV, 70's sitcoms and the like - all punctuated by an improv. jazz track that just talked and talked.

This just in - I found the scrap of paper - the artist's name was Catherine Ross and the work was called 'Trilling'. Peter Halley had some interesting diagrams of journeys and places, and Eric Fischl was showing some beautiful, if somewhat erotic, painting.
