CHELSEA OPENINGS, NEW YORK
James Kalm, despite the daunting task of trying to capture the grand spectacle of 113 openings, muddles on, and brings viewers a select few of the exhibitions on offer. Drawings and recent paintings by Raoul De Keyser and the Afro Margin drawings by Chris Ofili begin our tour at David Zwirner. Heading north, we pop in for a glance at the double shows of Kara Walker and Mark Bradford at Sikkema Jenkins & Co. and then slip in at Sonnabend to catch a look at the Photo-Realistic Surrealism of Matthew Weinstein. Trying to beat the clock we get an oh so brief look at Maya Lyn's installation,Three Ways of Looking at the Earth at Pace/Wildenstein. We wrap-up with a viewing of the luminous abstractions of Kylie Heidenheimer, at 532 Thomas Jaeckel Gallery and pause to reflect on the 9/11 Memorial Lights over lower Manhattan.

went to Vyner St (London East End) last night - very very quiet. More people in one of these NY galleries than entire Vyner St. Funny how tiny London seems! Off to explore South London today with my newly discovered ArtUpdate Map.
