Art created by painting while suspended in air (via james nares. | Design For Mankind)
In 2007 I worked as an intern at Paul Kasmin Gallery, which works with James Nares and has hosted much of his work. Whenveer I think of my time at PKG I think about one day in particular when I wore a pink slip dress to work and it was incredibly hot all day and I apparently spent up to half of the day with one of the straps down because it had broken. I wore the same dress to a party and was photographed by Nicky Digital. It was 2007.
Anyway, every time I see these brush strokes, I think of the smell of the basement, the backroom, talking to the handlers, going on a fieldtrip to drop something or other off, and cataloging work during the gallery’s expansion. It was a really great summer, one where I slept in a friend’s bed in her parents’ apartment in Murray Hill and visited bamboo forests in the Hamptons and met a kid my age whose parents gifted him an original Basquiat as “his first piece of artwork.”
I learned a lot amid all that artwork.
