Jul 25, 2010 Having some trouble navigating the blog so hope this posts correctly…..
I’m writing on behalf of my sister-in-law….my brother in law Daniel Robeski passed away 8 years ago and she has a large number of his artwork and prints. She is looking for someone that may be interested in doing a showing.
You can see samples of Daniel’s work at http://www.lunacommons.org/luna/servlet/view/search?q=robeski&sort=Category%2CArtist&search=Search
Thanks,
Stacy

| Tanya Bonakdar Gallery is extremely pleased to present Multiple Pleasures: Functional Objects in Contemporary Art, a broad and dynamic survey exhibition featuring over 150 specially selected objects and artworks by more than 90 contemporary artists. Each work blurs the boundaries between utility and aesthetics in a complex series of compellingly seductive and thought provoking ways. Emphasizing a trend in contemporary art that has only become more evident over the past several years, the exhibition features artists from the renowned to the emerging, each of whom embraces the soft definitions between architecture, design, and artmaking, creating items for use while staying completely authentic to the core of their art making and studio practice.The works span a broad range of categories – an executive desk, a working lamp, a functional chair, a wearable sweater, salt and pepper shakers, a chess set, puzzles, swings, garden fountains and bird feeders – each with a dual life, existing both to serve a practical purpose and an appealing aesthetic one. In a contemporary culture that celebrates the complex interdependence of form, function and material accumulation, these items somehow fulfill needs and desires never before proposed or considered.
From Andrea Zittel’s bronze Vertical Accumulators wall hooks to Ed Ruscha’s limited edition beach towels, the exhibition covers both the cerebral and lighthearted. Many of the pieces are endowed with a sense of whimsy and capriciousness; though intellectually compelling, they provide a sense of levity and entertainment. And while there is a certain playfulness to each work featured, their exquisite materiality and substance is only compounded by their potential for employment.

Jun 14, 2010 Gary and David were quite the team. If they had only had larger investors this would of been a line of mens clothing that would of gotten stronger and solid in the culture – just like the artist Tom of Finland. TOM’s expansive influence through his drawings transended into the culture and became exactly that – The Culture. These videos are a great homage to the beauty of Queer sensibilities. SPRING 1999.
The team of Gary Robinson and David Johnson were getting a lot of attention as they expressed the feeling of Tom of Finland into their fall line 1999.
The theme is Europe of proud ancestory. Zoom in on Heir Bruderman – a Beauty - him and his dog. FALL 1998.
