The talented Mr. Terence Koh, whose poetic and provocative artworks have been labeled both brilliant and the emperor’s new clothes, was at his best last week when he delivered the performance piece Art History 1642-2009 at New York’s venerable National Arts Club. Speaking to a packed house of art-world sophisticates in a completely unintelligible language, he railed, whispered, gestured, and danced his way through a visually entertaining lecture about art since the time of Goya.
The polemical subject matter in Will Cotton‘s paintings — sugar-whipped fantasies of pink confections and barely-dressed nymphs — comes to life this month at Partners & Spade boutique on New York’s Great Jones Street. The curio shop, a destination for those in search of old microphones, painted arrows, limited-edition watches and other modish ephemera, is hosting Cotton and his merry band of bakers for a three-weekend bake sale. No naked ladies in sight, as far as we could tell, but the artist himself was in attendance yesterday, directing operations in a gingham shirt and W-emblazoned apron.
