Art: “Don’t Stop Object Shopping” Mike Leavitt @ Fuse Gallery March 21, 2009



“Don’t Stop Object Shopping”
Mike Leavitt solo show
opens Saturday March 21, 2009 7-10pm
runs until April 18, 2009
Fuse Gallery: 93 2nd Avenue (between 5th & 6th Streets); NYC, NY 10003
subway: F train to 2nd Avenue
212-777-7988

Mike Leavitt’s March 2009 show at New York’s Fuse Gallery signals an art market shift. The Seattle artist has a nostalgic foot locker of shoes accurately replicated in cardboard, from ladies pumps to ’80’s sneakers. The cardboard shoe show will be installed like a thrift shop with Leavitt’s famous action figures, trading cards, Barack Obama pieces, wood carvings, and other small collectibles. Leavitt will also show two collaboration pieces with “bag painter” Chris Crites and the notorious counter-culture ceramicist Charles Krafft. Traditionally distasteful, modest and hokey objects consciously designed for sales are suddenly timely in the art world.

Mike Leavitt participates in an art movement that’s maturing with impeccable timing. Designer toys, hand-made prints, tattoo parlors, skate shops, street art, and hand-made kitsch are melting together to consume the art market from the bottom up. Inexpensive but technical works are being keenly tailored for broad appeal. The proverbial nose can no longer be thumbed at small art and affordable sales. Between high art and a crumbling economy, Leavitt finds common ground when he goes back to the basics. Wood shop, kitchen craft, and figurative representation produce his shoe culture milestones. Cheap, disposable material makes an expensive product, oddly resembling the manufacturing of boutique footwear. Yet the labor makes Leavitt’s shoes into art, not shoes. The cardboard shoes are built durable enough to wear, but even the rigid construction would succumb to a few drops of rain. They’re not competitive with the shoe market, but with a clientele that’s changing the way people buy art. Commercial viability is an urgent reality, not just satire or critique.

Good questions. Don't like when people still think tv and movies has anything to do with people going bad. Love what he was talkind about tours and doing shows. Rappers who are in denial about Cd's and touring is like Americans who are in denial about the evening out of globial economy. lol.

Buby's Diary: 2/21/09

I went to the Hundreds sale today and picked up a couple of things. If the pics have more then one colorway in there I have the black one.
Bobby TALKED to me...awww. lol.
MY lil one was very upset that I didn't pick her up this weekend so my whole time there I was trying to calm her down over the phone. When I was checking out bobby wished me luck and hoped everything worked out ...lol. They were pretty cool guys.



I was supposed to meet my brother at the apple store to see Santigold do an instore performance but he copped out at the end and tried to take my ass home. But of course being the lazy fucker I am (it was really windy) I tried catching Metro trains to catch the Path train but of course I got lost on 23rd street and had to catcha cab. Dude had a revolver tucked in the sun visor and wasn't a real taxi but men of color in the city cant be choicy on who picks them up..lol. But he dropped me off in front of a Best Buy so I had to go in and I picked up Kudu and Justice cds I've been wanting for a while.
