Wanderings in Chelsea
I’ve always been interested in the strong connection between marketing and art. That’s why I started Market Anomaly a marketing shop that helps artist and others get themselves noticed. My career has since evolved and Market Anomaly is now more of a side business.
My full-time job is located in Chelsea where the art season is in full effect, so I guess it’s time for me to start taking lunchtime strolls through some galleries. I’ll try to give you an idea of what is compelling and what is crap.
Also happening here… look out in the next year for Chelsea to go through another transformation as Google moves in and Apple builds another Store. There goes the neighborhood! Hell, it was already gone, but these developments are kind of exciting. It’s a little Frisco on the Hudson.
Anyway, here are the highlights of today’s wanderings.

Bortolami Dayan Gallery
?CLOSING DOWN?
Opens Sept. 21. (510 W. 25th St. 212-727-2050.)
The two upstarts from Gagosian, who ran away to start their own gallery debut a group show of Gagosian favs. The show is a mixture of awesome stuff like a full sized guillotine and other mediocre pieces. Many of the artists have been seen before at Gagosian. They don’t seem to have a homepage yet.

Great Polyurethane structures. The rest of the exhibit is questionable at best.
