Review of Marlborough Chelsea's Red Grooms:Dancing show:
This show was not up to par for me coming from Marlborough. The sculptures were very straight forward, so straight forward in fact that they lost their personality and intimacy. Furthermore the craftsmanship of the pieces didn't lend to the art's overall meaning. The fact that they were made in this way was pointless; they could have been carved out of marble and the meaning would bee the same. Marble would have looked nicer and it would have been more impressive as well as immortalized the subjects, while this cardboard looking construction will crumble the first chance it gets. The show had an additional video installation of some dance groups work from the 80's and 90's that Red Grooms assisted with painting the background. That was interesting even though i looked like it took place on the set of an avant guard Sesame Street. Worth a quick look if you are in passing. The video below is more entertaining....
