My girlfriend Jane (pictured above on a French poster during her most recent European tour) occasionally joins me for an hour or two of gallery visits.  I’ve decided to have her submit blog posts of shows she felt strongly about in a new post category I call “Jane’s View”.  Everything we saw is currently on The Top Five.

Here’s Jane:

Elliott Hundley @ Andrea Rosen Gallery
I was inspired by the collages at Andrea Rosen. I'm in the process of creating a look book for some of my own art and this made me want to create something like one of these to put on my wall.... I loved the fact there was no glue,just pins keeping these mini jewel-like pieces of paper attached...think canvas acupuncture meets an adult obsessed Henry Darger...

Barbara Kruger @ Mary Boone Gallery
If i had to sum up Kruger in one word, that word would be assaulting. and If i had five words, it would be assaulting in a good way! i mean how much overstimulation can a person take. at one point i felt like I was in the blair witch project and at other times, i had to struggle to keep up with the rapid fire change of walls that had the projections. my neck started to ache. why do i have to work so hard or is that the point?

Antony Gormley @ Sean Kelly Gallery
I liked Gormley although I felt like I was in the movie "TRON" and I have to admit it is thrilling entering a pitch black room with little or no night vision. in fact, next time I might bring a walking stick to the gallery tour.
