I will have two pictures included in James Hyde’s new exhibition at Kathleen Cullen in NYC! info below
Kathleen Cullen is pleased to present Redi-Mix, an almost-solo-project of works by James Hyde. Along with Hyde’s paintings a constantly evolving group show will take place.
Hyde will present his recent paintings — photographic prints which form the physical ground but also the image-space on which Hyde builds his painterly compositions. Styrofoam, papier-mache, blocks of wood, tape, as well as paint— matte & glossy; thick & thin— form Hyde’s painting kit. Hyde’s emphatically material painting slathers and dissects pictures of unfinished building sites, late night reveries, and fragmented views of nature. Often startling, these paintings show Hyde engaging the world through the technical and emotional framework of abstract painting.
During the show the gallery will be in constant flux— Hyde’s paintings-on-photos will cycle in and out. During the exhibition the gallery and artist will organize different sets of works to be presented alongside Hyde’s paintings. Sculpture, photography, painting, drawing, prints and multiples by emerging, established and historical artists will appear every week like guests to a cocktail party.
Photographs by Jan Groover and Lucas Blalock; Sculpture by Fabienne Lasserre and Paul Lee; Paintings by Joe Fyfe and Thomas Lindvig and Prints by Curtis Mann, Dieter Roth and Bridget Riley will be on view.
With this show we hope to transform the gallery to an intimate salon— a place to make unexpected connections between the familiar and the new.
Redi-Mix will be open from Friday, February 26, 2009 through March 31, 2010 at Kathleen Cullen Fine Arts at 526 West 26th Street, Suite 605, New York, NY.

Dear Ms. Patty Pacifica or Current Resident,
I like to think of cooing. it is among the warmer thoughts. especially nice in French which seems a warmer language except when it’s not. Isn’t it funny how cold warm things used badly become. I would accept your TV if you had it, but seem truly and earnestly (to my own embarrassment) more interested in truth than fact and all that uninterrupted information would bring us back to the palimpsest (a screen) and a possible becoming tedious because the volume controls of strangers – even friends and lovers – are always different from the ones internal. It’s probably better if I listen to your speakers instead of getting greedy for headphones, or serialized programming.
As to. . . all of this is more lonely than sad but I am starting to relish this energy of impossible languages and unbridgeable gaps. The failures are all we have and I am no nihilist! I BELIEVE YOU, LIAR!! Light, sad? ‘luc’ is particle and wave both at the same time. I am torn. can you explain?
Thank you kindly,
Lucas Blalock
