Art-99; a 99 word review.

For Life: The language of Communication @ Jack Tilton through March 28, 2009

Despite the title, it's not a self help seminar.  The "language of communication" (redundant) in the press release is vague and righteous in its hope for political transformation.  Obama's election does not make all curatorial choices good ones.  It is thin justification for a show of selections from Tilton's contemporary program and second market estates. There are 30 works by Ruth Vollmer which couldn't have less to do with Tuttle's craftless, caught in a storm drain constructions or Berman's sexy beatnik iconography.  Between her perfect minimalist drawings and sculptures evocative of extra-terrestrial geometry, there is a solid solo show.
