I know these are porcelain and that they’re hand-painted and that there’s four million of them (more on that here), but this install bears an uncanny resemblance to Felix Gonzalez-Torres’s silver-candy piece, Untitled (Placebo), from 1991 — which is currently on view at MoMA. And which can be touched and eaten.

Photo Diary: Sarah Braman at Mitchell-Innes & Nash in Chelsea.

Unfortunately, Sarah Braman’s show at Mitchell-Innes & Nash was last December, which means it has already closed. But, fortunately, I took photos — so you can check out her chopped-up camper meets light-and-spacey glass boxes. The toilet paper is a nice touch. All around, a very enjoyable show.

Spotted at Gagosian.

An image from Gusmano Cesaretti’s East Los Angeles series, 1974. Part of the photographer’s solo exhibit at Roberts & Tilton. This is a show I most definitely want to see. Opens Saturday at 6pm, in Culver City. (Image courtesy of the artist and Roberts & Tilton.)

There’s a screening of Serious Play: The Worlds of Helen Levitt, a documentary by Tanya Sleiman, at Eli Ridgway Gallery in San Francisco this Saturday at 4pm. You can see a trailer here. If I lived in S.F., this is where you’d find me. (Photo above nabbed from the very wonderful American Suburb X.)
