Two-Color Jam Print

We have discovered a mystery bit of art in the warehouse. Any help with verifying or correcting our informed guesses below is greatly appreciated. Art is very likely by Joe Grillo and Mat Brinkman from around 2008. Possibly with Dearraindrop or Paper Rad. Same printing process and paper as used for Mat Brinkman’s “Heads, 44”. Printed on fine vellum with extra dense black ink which was quick-dried…

There was a lot to think about: the absurd combination and sheer volume of work; the fact that the exhibition itself serves as a parody of the dreaded summer group show; the claustrophobic environment.

Out on the sidewalk in front of O’Flaherty’s, I heard people comparing the show not to anything contemporary but rather to the New York in which Colen came up, one roughly after 9/11 but before the recession, when Deitch Projects (who sponsored the Colen/Snow hamster nests) was throwing massive exhibitions that often prized scale and countercultural energy over academic or socially conscious concerns.

And so it shouldn’t have been a total shock to learn that Grant was a member of the legendary psychedelic art collective Dearraindrop, who threw one of those infamous Deitch blowouts back in the day.

“It’s some kind of social thing,” Grant told me, when I asked what the current moment has in common with the Deitch era. The gallery’s impetus for doing this group exhibition was more practical. “We had to make a show really fast,” Grant said. I asked him if any work stood out as his favorites, he responded, “There’s fast burn and slow burn on this. Some days certain ones are bad, then there’s other days. I don’t know. They all look better —” He paused. “— in the dark.”

This in itself seemed like something of a flashback—to the Dark Art Fair at the Swiss Institute in 2008.
