Cherry and Martin on occasion producing well timed exhibitions interrupting the "new" moment with gentle reminders, past artists who too had delivered on certain aesthetics promises. E.g. their delivering a new Support/Surfaces exhibition to at a moment when gentle auto-painting of certain painter-painters was reaching peak. And from Thek to 1960's Robert Graham to Kudo to here Cheng before today's bio-waste terrariums of a list of at least 15 artists currently voguing, the anxiety of futurology's biotechnic surrealism is well represented. When young artists start to occlude the past it is of course a market effect producing outshone visibility and C+M - and perhaps Greenspon across the continent and bummeringly very few others - dogged insistence against the new shiny thing commendable.
