Holton Rower Live Pour 2012

December 8, 2012

On Thursday, December 6, during ART MIAMI 2012, ARTHUR ROGER GALLERY and THE HOLE presented A LIVE POUR BY HOLTON ROWER. Guests were taken to Villa Vecchia in Miami Beach in yachts for a stunningly psychedelic and completely hypnotic performance that is a Holton Rower “pour” in the historic grand ballroom. Armed with dozens of cups of vibrantly colored paint, the artist poured successive quantities resulting in concentric, amorphous pools of color, diverted upon contact with various obstacles including wood and glass. Midway into the performance the artist introduced a new medium to the mix, the nude female form for a provocative and engaging evening.

More than any other medium, photography is about time and time’s relationship to light and circumstance. In the hands of three Southern photographers, the results are often poetic. Deborah Luster’s early works, on view at Arthur Roger Gallery, predate her more famous images of Louisiana prisoners and crime scenes, but the same insightful whimsy illuminates views that include rural children posed with captive eels or dressed in their Sunday best amid fields of billowy cotton.

Does anyone seriously doubt global warming anymore? Some people who used to ask why we live in such a vulnerable place had a rude awakening when Hurricane Sandy made it clear that vast storms are no longer confined to the tropics but now threaten even New York’s financial district. Perhaps climate change is a reminder that we have become alienated from our origins. Jacqueline Bishop has been addressing such questions in her paintings and mixed-media work for many years, and her new show at Arthur Roger Gallery is startling, not simply for its meticulous virtuosity, but also for its scope.
