Some time ago, 'I do not remember exactly when, as the sloth of which are affected, the friend Felson, he gave me a tip indicating a brutal show of this rather unique Chris Jordan, given the galactic my ignorance, internationally recognized, I had never heard of him but, having ridden for a while 'on his site, and I' seemed an interesting character, with lots of bright ideas, in short, a guy by the remarkable creative potential. Yesterday, or was it the other day? Bo! I wonder if I ever reactivate the synapses, well short, I went to see the exhibition at Von Lintel Gallery emblematic title "Running the numbers" , a taste of mass consumption and waste of American society. Before commenting, let me give you an idea of \u200b\u200bthe topographical location of the site. We are located in Chelsea, at the extreme end, overlooking the Hudson River. The area some years teeming with art galleries and boutiques but it 's more, if I may say, "transformation" in the sense that along with a "concept store" you can find to admire a warehouse decorated with elements of drains unknown waves and waves of brutal and aggressive, where some gentlemen, who never misses an opportunity to demonstrate that they have all studied in Cambridge, are busy in activities that require concentration and delicate precision, how to move a cart or throw away the garbage, then accovacciasi on the curb for a lunch break to eat sandwiches. The gallery is located on the second floor of a building of red brick and is made of three rooms. The reception and 'very warm and zealous: E'immersa each in their own reading and look forward to raising dislodge the noise.
But let's get to work. Here I must say that the effect is not 'as hoped. When you enter, thanks to the absence of explanation or securities at the side of each blow, there is no effect of SSW is doubtful if the question is why the visit. Until you put your nose on the picture, not even the subject of the senses. Among other things, I do not know, but I 'felt that the selection of photos was among the worst, compared to those available that can be seen on the internet. For example, in the first room is "Prison Uniform" "Jet Trails" and "Plastic Bottles" that having so profane disappear in patches of color. The same feeling you have with "Cell Phones", "Handguns" and "Paper bags". In the third room ... still lifes. A group of fish with the eye vitreous, probably floured and fried after it is taken, author unknown. Perhaps the same Jordan in a romantic moment or something ....
I found the organization quite poor and weak, far from creating the visual impact that you get online.
