Mike Weiss Gallery Presents Gymnasty By Cameron Gray

Sometimes, you just need to visit an art exhibit that is a bit over-the-top and, well, insane. It doesn’t even have to make much sense; as long as it embraces an energetic, inspired feel and a kind of controlled, creative chaos that assures you that you are at the Most-Happening-Art-Reception in the Chelsea Gallery District at that very moment. That is how we felt when we entered the vortex of madness that is Cameron Gray’s Gymnasty, which opened at Mike Weiss Gallery on October 30th. Seriously, what a crazy fun scene!

Please Enter Through the Video Monitor Archway! More about that later!

Gymnasty is a multi-sensorial pop culture experience that may or may not have something to do with working out. But if you want to follow that line of thinking, then you might consider it to be more like a gym for your mind and soul than one for your body. I don’t know. Maybe Gray just dropped some acid an made it up as he went along. Please enjoy some of my photos!

The opening reception was a ridiculous, performance art mob scene, so it was hard to get good, clear pictures of the “Art,” but nothing was really lost in that I think I captured a good deal of the energy of what had to be the best party of the night!

Look at this thing!

Now, take a closer look: It is a video of a waterfall inside a slab of polished marble. I want to have it in my home.

Also, here is a close up of The Universe expanding from inside another slab of marble. It makes you think deeply about things.

Venus De Milo Aquarium!

All kinds of ever changing video projections!

OK, Let’s take closer look at same of the pop culture images flashing across the screens in that explosively psychedelic Video Monitor Archway!

David Bowie, I love him.

Yes, yes it is!

I see Lana Del Rey and, also, Elvis.

Rocky Horror: Obviously a HUGE influence.

Rick James, Bitch!

You don’t need me to tell you that Gymnasty is totally Rad. See it while you can!
