Last month I took Elise (employee of my brother’s company “BeeDocs”) and her father Clifford to a few shows in Chelsea. We explored the idea of “enclosure”: Roxy Paine’s gallery busting root structure, Abelardo Morell’s beautiful room projections, Mika Rottenberg’s claustrophobic film, Anselm Kiefer’s enormous glass vitrines and Hiroshi Sugimoto’s representation of infinite space (the exact opposite of enclosure). If you missed the shows, I’ve linked them all here.
