http://www.jamescohan.com/ This month James Cohan Gallery opens fall season with three sperate exhibitions: Xu Zhen, Folkert de Jong, and Martha Colburn.
Among them, I like the first two works.
In the front gallery, Chinese conceptualist Xu Zhen transforms the gallery into a replica of a Shanghai convenience store. I saw this "fake" store in Art Basel Miami Beach, 2007. Actually, I saw these kind of store everywhere, when I was in Asia. The only difference is the brand of product and the contents--there is no real food inside. You can buy anything you want, but only form, no content.
The other one is Dutch sculptor--Folkert de Jong. He uses all kinds of industrial materials to construct his "funny" world. This piece references Goya's famous 1814 painting, El tres de mayo de 1808 en Madrid. They are so large and near that viewers can witness their "ridiculousness" in person.
