Astrid Bowlby installation (Gallery Joe)

Too tired to post much, but the galleries that made the biggest impression on me were:

• Black & White - Julian Montague and Kim Bennett
• 31 Grand - the whole thing, but especially John Copeland, Tom Sanford, and Michael Cambre
• Andrew Edlin - "outsider" art of great interest, especially Tom Duncan
• Samson Projects
• Gallery Joe

That's certainly not the whole list, and Gae Savannah's work at Curcio Projects and the entire room of Stephanie Theodore should not be missed either. Overall I think it's the strongest Scope I've seen.

The list of presenters is here.

P.S. The elevator situation at the hotel for Scope is awful. Be prepared and don't plan to leave on short notice.

P.P.S. That's not my best photo above, but I think it gives you an idea of the work. I love the fact that the artist also does good black and white abstract drawings, and that visitors to the room didn't believe those were by the same artist as the bed installation.
