James Kalm joins throngs of celebrity seekers and connoisseurs of the crappy in paying tribute to the Crown Prince of Kitsch John Waters. Rear Projection is the latest selection of Water works combining his love of cinema, and his unique take on Pop Art, larding it with a wickedly perverse sense of humor. Presents along with the photographic works are several sculptures that display a sardonic appreciation of everyday products. BONUS FEATURE: Allegiance to Satan . Are there dark unseen forces controlling the New York art world? This brief video explores the possible influence of "Satanic Magic". Allegiance to Satan or mere coincidence, you decide.

James Kalm slips into Chelsea to capture a brief glimpse of Missing Pictures , the latest series of paintings by Dana Schutz. Since her emergence, Schutz has attracted the attention of critics, curators and collectors with her endearingly quirky expressionistic views of daily life and takeoffs on classic Americana. The new work features the inclusion of acrylic staining accentuated with oil paint, creating a fluid membrane reminiscent of watercolor. Featuring an interview with Brett de Palma.

James Kalm scurries through a busy Thursday night of gallery openings in Chelsea to document this debut of Lisa Yuskavage s recent paintings. Presenting lusciously painted images of young voluptuous women, the content balances precariously between the obviously pornographic and cutesy sweet realm of girly pulp. This ambiguousness has provoked critical attention and prompted Yuskavage to be considered at the cutting edge of contemporary figuration. Featuring interviews with Lisa Yuskavage, Jerry Saltz, Rick Prol and Wolfgang Petrick.

James Kalm bumps into the Good Humor man in front of the James Cohen Gallery s opening for Alison Elizabeth Taylor. Taylor presents rustic American tableaus, depicted in highly detailed wooden veneered panels. A beguiling dichotomy is created with this classic medieval technique used by kings and nobility for the depictions of extravagant materialism, but here employed to render the harsh unseen side of a hip South-West American utopianism gone sallow. With the tones of natural wood, and realistic images this technique creates polished surfaces that are astounding in their richness. Includes a comment by painter James Gilroy, and cameo appearances by Jerry Saltz and Roberta Smith.

James Kalm makes an ides of March tour visiting two of Chelsea s most well received painting exhibitions and stumbles onto some interesting street action on the way. Joy Garnett, at Winkleman Gallery, collects images from the internet and using a conceptually based strategy presents landscape paintings that depict our new global vision . At the Luhring Augustine Gallery George Condo debuts Christ: The Subject Nature of Objective Representation a provocative take on religious imagery. In the streets we bump into Pink Bunny an ongoing performance piece and Jerry Saltz escorting 2008 Whitney Biennial contributor Michael Smith on a local tour.
