Jeffrey Weiss Resignation<\/b>
The director of the Dia Art Foundation, Jeffrey Weiss, has resigned after less than one year. He said he had decided that he was ill suited to the administrative burdens of the director’s post. “It took me too far away from curatorial and scholarly work.”<\/p>\n
Dia is mostly focused on developing a presence in New York City right now – Since Weiss feels this is not playing to his strengths – good for him for getting out now before he makes a hugely expensive (and long term) blunder.<\/p>\n
Larry Zox at Stephen Haller Gallery (NYC)<\/b>
Larry Zox’s work is associated with the color field movement and really the only reason I mention it today is because I want to use his quote in the next paragraph. Zox is currently being shown at Stephen Haller Gallery. I’m not getting to New York anytime soon – but it’s worth going to see.<\/p>\n
My favorite quote of Zox’s come from him speaking of Max’s Kansas City (A very famous or infamous bar – depending how you look at it): “There I am sitting near the front and I reach for something and this girls says to me. “I wouldn’t reach too fast.” I said, “What?” And I look over at her and here’s this tiger sitting with this woman. This huge fucking tiger with teeth this big. That same night someone came in with a baby elephant. I said, I don’t believe this, next it will be grashoppers.”<\/p>\n
Speaking of Color Field<\/b>
Why would anyone write a large article for the major newspaper of this city and spend the entire article trying to find pictures in the images. I swear it was like looking at clouds trying to find picture of bunnies or something.<\/p>\n

For the mention in his blog the other day. Steven just recently finished a show at Gremillion & Co. Fine Art in Houston. I think his work is pretty interesting as well. He’s on the web also – follow this link<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
