Went to the Gangbusters show at Plane-Space to see CD and NG's work and, of course, drink free beer, and stumbled upon (yes, courtesy RM, who I totally usurped in purchasing the book, but he didn't need the extra weight heading back to Europe, really, did he?) the paintings of Robert Olsen.What can I say about the collection Empty Cities? It's spectral, luminescent, and reminds me of those great, useless artifacts of modern urban convenience that shine on bravely through the night while also representing the loneliness and danger of being gunned down anonymously on an empty street. They shimmer and they shiver from the darkness. They are really great.
