The Critiques were an art criticism salon of sorts started at the 628
months studio.In this incarnation they moved to Soho on Greene Street
which was a nice new venue and very classic in many ways.
Yeni Mao made manipulated photographs based on Kung-Fu movies.
They seem haunted, ghostly and from something not for mass media
consumption. Or if for mass consumption then for horror movies and
avant-garde documentaries.One wonders if the artist
was trying to overcome the commercialism of kung-fu and put it back
to a deeper more spiritual place.
He also had an interesting sculpture of a gun boat.
Sarah Kurz had paintings of women which are stills from famous movies, nudes are half clad mostly. Some are the artist's friends and others are stills from famous classic movies. There is also a painting taking out of a plane window and a tea kettle from Butterfield 8.The painter is an assistant to a painter and her mother was a professor of French Literature so she was influenced by Brigit Bardot and many of the other actresses she portrayed growing up.
