Gregory de la Haba's photo: How cool to walk into a Gagosian space and see paintings of Marie-Therese Walter by her Scorpio lover or to feel small beside a Richard Serra wall of steel that not only towers over one's head but gives the illusion that it'll be falling and crushing you, too, at any moment. But we expect greatness from great artists and mega dealers and hunger for those shows that leave us speechless and excited and glad to reside here, in one helluva town! But what really makes living here great is in the unexpected. Who'll we meet tonight in Chelsea or down on the Lower East Side? What opportunities will present themselves simply from walking down Fifth Avenue or hanging out in the cafe at P.S. 1? What's the next show that will flaw and excite? Get the wheels turning in high gear and leaves one feeling completely satisfied the way a good meal of meat from Peter Luger's leaves one satisfied? I'll tell you what: BLOW BY BLOW by artist Judi Rosen who challenges the usual expectations of objectified female sexuality by creating a sexual tableau of women and the clowns they love. It's brilliant! Run to see this show at Fuse Gallery in the East Village. A professional pattern maker by trade Judi ran her own East Village boutique The Good The Bad and The Ugly from 2000-2009 and where the likes of Mary J. Blige, Tara Banks and Alicia Keys sought out her eponymous jean line and fine tailored clothes. She traveled the world as an assistant to artist Henry James and currently assists artist Joe Bradley. Not too shabby. This is her first New York solo show and one that I guarantee will have you feeling all giggly inside and out and glad to call New York home. GdlH
