If you've been following this blog for a little while, you know that I am really into Patrick Brennan’s work. It’s gone through a lot of interesting changes over the last few years and the work is really at an exciting point. With “FAZES”, Daily Operation presents Brennan's first solo show in New York. It includes a selection of works that highlight his distinct approach to abstract painting. Hints of moons, crosses, stars, and galaxies appear but the viewer is compelled to collect their own narrative.

His work has recently been seen at Artists Space, Heskin Contemporary, Kent State University, Mississippi State University, Apartment Show, and the Deli Storeroom. For more about Patrick Brennan, check out of my previous posts and especially our interview.

P. Shrinermacher

Daily Operation participated in ABCyz 2009 and featured the work of P. Shrinermacher. The show will be open by appointment until Nov. 7. ABCyz is a collaborative art exhibition of NYC-based contemporary art collectives, curatorial groups and art publishers, each of which was formed in the last four years. A group show of group shows, ABCyz is a salon-style exhibition of independent out-of-pocket exhibitions, recession-style creative processes and guerilla promotions.

In the late 80s and early 90s, artist Lance Rutledge sent anonymous letters, paintings, and art objects to various NY gallerists. Yours, P. Shrinermacher centered around the works that Rutledge sent to dealers Pat Hearn and Colin de Land under the P. Shrinermacher moniker. See more Lance Rutledge here. There was also an opening night reading by Erik den Breejen. See an except of that below.

For a little background, I asked Lance to describe the impetus behind this experiment:

During a five-year period between 1989 and 1994 I sent a long series of letters and "sign" paintings, as well as various other artifacts to both Colin de Land and Pat Hearn under the pseudonym, P. Shrinermacher. In an earlier period I had been an artist of American Fine Art Gallery. Through the grapevine I learned that they quite enjoyed receiving the letters. At the end of that five-year stretch, I unintentionally revealed my identity to Colin, at which point the letters stopped. I was a touch sad that my correspondence had come to an end & he was quite surprised that I was the person behind this fictitious character. I never thought that I would be the one to reveal my identity. But in retrospect it might have been appropriate. L.R. 2009

I WANNA BE SOMEWHERE was a Daily Operation that took place on on September 16. There were a lot of artists in the show so I'll split it up into a few posts. Here is the first group of photos and the "press release" below. Thanks to all who came out and participated!

For "I WANNA BE SOMEWHERE," each artist has created their own version of a diorama using the title as a jumping off point. To varying degrees, the artists attempted to marry the diorama format with their way of working. Beyond a size constraint, there were no rules about how traditional the works end up or the supports, materials, shapes, etc. used.
