Chelsea's September 01-Vik Muniz




Since we have so many shows at the same time, I cannot finish each of them.Therefore, I just pick up several exhibitions, which I still have impression...right now.

First, it's "verso," Vik Muniz's solo show in SIKKEMA Jenkins & Co. gallery. http://www.sikkemajenkinsco.com/index.html
After walking into the gallery, you will be stunned by the way he presents his works. At beginning, viewers think that he takes all master piece from famous museums, including MoMa, Mets, Guggenheim..., and then show their back side and lean on the wall. I really really...want to turn these paintings and check if "Van Gogh" is here. After checking the catalog, we finally figure out "everything is fake." The artist spent a lot of time copying and mimicing these historical marks.
