Dana Schutz

The exhibition looks at the history and continued residence of Guild & Greyscal, a storied gallery that operated from 2003 to 2009 in SoHo.

It includes work by more than 70 artists, famous and obscure, younger and older, like Mariah Robertson, Dana Schutz, Sarah Greenberger Rafferty, Rian Johnson, B. Wurtz, Ryan Mueller, and Valerie Hegarty.

Some exhibited at the gallery and others were part of its extended network.

The show is organized by Guild & Greyscal's three intrepid artist founders, Ania Kielar, Johannes Vanderbeek, and Sarah Vanderbeek at the invitation of Adriana Farmiga, the Dean of the Cooper Union School of Art, and Yuri Masnyz, its Associate Dean.

That, that I dig.

Dana Schutz.

Dana was painting that I was not introduced to until I was in grad school, and I think the thing about Dana Schutz for me was when I got to grad school, I was a wrist painter.

You know, very sort of tiny brush, little marks to make really hyper-

Mm

[laughs]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I, I was an illustration, uh, major at RISD, and it was a lot of wrist painting, and I think Dana Schutz was one of the first artists I was introduced to in grad school that, I mean, the, the enormity of the just strokes of paint was something that I was really interested in.

It felt like there's kind of like a horny vibe.

Also, Carroll Dunham's show at Matthew Brown, I kind of laughed because I saw Dana Schutz pointing at this painting, and it really looks like ass play, for lack of a better word-

[laughs]

... or term.
