April 12th, with Lance Esplund, Kara Rooney and Robert Storr

Three Brooklyn-based critics join David Cohen at the podium April 12 for The Review Panel at Brooklyn Public Library in what should be another stormy, contentious evening of critical debate: Lance Esplund, Kara Rooney and Robert Storr. And as added spurs to liveliness, a radical feminist twist or two. Judith Braun, subject of a two-part (and two-borough) show at McKenzie Fine Art on the Lower East Side and Simuvac Projects in Greenpoint, was one of the original “Bad Girls” in Marcia Tucker’s thus titled 1994 show at the New Museum, while the title of Betty Tompkins’ show at the FLAG Art Foundation, “WOMEN Words, Phrases and Stories,” gives a fair flavor of the feistiness to expect there. Also prone to the prodding and probing of the panel, shows of Omer Fast at James Cohan and Molly Lowe at Pioneer Works.

March 8th, with Svetlana Alpers, Laurie Fendrich, David Salle

Who can keep up with David Salle? That he is a painter at the top of his form was evidenced by his solo show in New York last spring. But he is also wearing hats as a curator and critic these days. “Nice Weather,” a group show divided between the uptown and Chelsea premises of his dealers, Skarsdedt Gallery, brings together mostly new work by a generous spread of modern masters and emerging or under the radar mid-career and younger painters. His essay review of Moma’s Forever Now show in ArtNews added sharp focus to debates about that much discussed event. Now he makes his debut on The Review Panel March 8 at Brooklyn Public Library where he joins veteran panelist Svetlana Alpers and fellow first timer Laurie Fendrich as moderator David Cohen’s guests. The Review Panel decamped to Brooklyn after a decade in Manhattan last month. David Salle, ahead of the curve, moved to the borough 15 years ago.
