Inside Rivington Arms, Photograph AFC

The above picture looks like a standard gallery reception which was not actually the case. Leigh Ledare’s opening at Rivington Arms last night officially marks the first show I’ve attended this season so crowded there was no hope of even getting a glimpse of the work. I saw a portion of a photograph capturing a nude mustached man I thought might be pretty good, and another piece using the photoshop cut and paste tool to move the woman’s breast onto her face, and visa-versa, I was pretty sure wasn’t so awesome, but you know, WHO KNOWS.

Wow. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a more HIP photo.
It’s got everything. Ironic sexuality, ironic pseudo-70′s retro feel, ironic detachment, ironic hats.
Wait, Irony is still hip right? I can’t keep track. But if so, it explains the crowd.

Sigh. Really? This is such derivative garbage. If Larry Clark were dead he’d be rolling over in his grave.
