Carl Cheng at Cherry and Martin

Carl Cheng at Cherry and Martin

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.
