NYC correspondent George Koroneos brings us photos from the press preview of everything showing at Jonathan LeVine Gallery this weekend: Vitche’s Equilibrium, AJ Fosik’s At the Edge of Town, and Andy Kehoe and Matt Haber’s two-person exhibit Trouble, Pass Me By. All three shows open tonight, May 12th, and run through June 9th, 2007. From giant bears to creepy wooden children toys, Jonathan LeVine hosted one of the most eclectic shows to grace his New York gallery space. The event featured Vitche, AJ Fosik, Andy Kehoe, and Matt Haber—four artists with a distinct style and platform. Vitche got a huge space to exhibit his awe-inspiring wooden toys and statues. When asked if the figures really worked, he gleefully picked up one of the uber-expensive pieces and began squeezing it while the top half spun around and around. AJ Fosik spent the preview night schmoozing with the underground art elite while showing off his recently purchased Rutt’s Hut shirt (a mecca for Jersey hot dogs). His fearsome wooden sculptures loomed around the main gallery as art fans stared with the most fascinated and curious looks on their faces. Andy Kehoe and Matt Haber were featured in "Trouble Pass Me By," a two-man show featuring Kehoe’s landscapes and cartoonish beasts, and Haber’s painted, glass bottles. Haber explained that the canvases in his portion of the show featured scenes of lovers, relationships, and struggle plastered against pastel-colored backgrounds. The show will run from May 12, 2007 through June 9, 2007 with an opening reception on Saturday, May 12, from 7pm-9pm. (Read full article)
