'Archive' Michael Cusack @ Martin Browne Fine Art

The paintings live in one of those white minimalist apartments, somewhere in the Upper East Side. During the 70s. They gather things of different shapes and sensibilities and place them together according to eastern philosophic traditions. They look balanced, but their lives are a complete mess.

'Collage' Michael Taylor @ Gallery 9

The paintings have been shipped from last century, sometime in the mid-50s. The years of memories and unfortunate choices weight down the interesting bits. It's not a pretty sight, and it's not meant to be. The big canvases in the last room have something better to say.
