I’m mad about Deitch Projects. The New York based gallery is the business, it's the dog's bollocks - at the very least, it’s arguably the coolest art space in The City. Even their website is cool. Hell, the music on the site is cool (in a kooky way). And each time they've a showing; it’s guaranteed to have some furiously cool talent in hand.Take the current exhibition. Curated by Deitch’s own Kathy Grayson, the nicely named, ‘Constraction’, is showing until August and comes on the back of the Spring 2008 show, ‘Substraction’. Like its predecessor, this is a group show of like-minded talents. Pulling together the strengths of six artists, each touting their conceptual wares, this is an abstract wonderland, a multi-coloured, multi-sensory, well thought-out thrill. With works from cubic-minimalist, Joe Bradley, language obsessed symbolic Tauba Auerbach, California’s cutout shadow-star Peter Coffin (who is frankly a bit of a genius), Xylor Jane, whose trippy work will mess with your head in a superb Sol Le Witt way, slick sculptor Mitzi Pederson, and the uber-talented Ara Peterson. Now, with a mix like that, how can you possibly go wrong?
Constraction is showing at Deitch Projects, 76 Grand Street, New York, from 28thJune 28 — 9th August 09, 2008
