20/5-NY9 up in downtown

went with HK to the galleries uptown around the 57th and 77th, he said I should write about them, but it is all in the gallery guide, and everyone could visit them themselves, the character of the different regions are so obvious to anyone that's been there too. As for there are so much galleries, which one to pick? It is again all there in the guide if you based on artists you already know (assuming you know something about art history or contemporary art), in this way, one usually ended up visiting the few most important ones as I do. The difference is that one might not know of the background history of the galleries, like who Leo Castelli or Michel Werner is or what they have done. I just was shocked to discover that HK doesn't even know who Clement Greenberg is, as we walked pass a gallery which has an exhibition titled sth like: The Surfboard of Clement Greenberg, which the surf-board/painting is, of course, FLAT!
Then we went into Whitney to see the Biennial, too much to see for just few hours (HK picking a resturant to sit down to rest and est did cut half hour precious viewing time, which I rather exhausting oneself on art if I am by myself), but again, maybe a membership is worth for the two rounds of the exhibitions, otherwise, anyhow, now I got to see it again (if I am to write about it) next fri pay what you wish evening entry. then does this meant that it is gd? well I think it is too cramped and the curator a bit too prentenious to pick works that are interpreted to be ABOUT political, social issues, to make a mark of itself different from the past, with however not putting it very frontally in the curatorial title and statement. Paragraphs next to the captions and audio guide etc, and few works are left for you to read for yrself.
