Elizabeth: This year has dumped a load of food, fine art, and complete confusion all at once; Hanukkah converged with Thanksgiving for the first time in years sending us all to the trough –- now the Miami Fairs and Santa are on the way. As an art shipper, I'm on a cheap holiday in other people's misery, as the Sex Pistols put it. At the VIP opening of Art Basel, Kate Gilmore caved to Miami sexist traditions and low-balled her performance piece by having the women and men, who smashed ruby colored metal cubes with sledgehammers, perform bare-chested! Really, girl?
David: Unlike you, Elizabeth, I don't wanna holiday in the sun; so instead of Miami, I went to the opening of Michael Zansky's show titled, A Vacation on Mars with God, at Stux Gallery, where I met the artist and had a shot of vodka with Stefan Stux, who introduced me to the artist.

Michael Zansky: The Reincarnation of Michael Vick (As a Dog)
Ice Box, Philadelphia
Through December 28, 2010
The duality of human nature is that we exist between two poles of existence; the need for redemption and the desire for retribution. In Michael Zansky' exhibition The Reincarnation of Michael Vick (As a Dog), at Ice Box, in Philadelphia, we are shown the Eagle's dog-murdering quarterback in a state of reincarnation; in the process of, if not quite achieving, redemption.

Strangelove is bizarre indeed, yet very successful. This installation by Michael Zansky takes full advantage of its unique location. Curated by D. Dominick Lombardi, it’s staged at The Lab, a gallery in a busy corner of midtown Manhattan. The viewer cannot enter the all-glass gallery but must view the piece from the street. This installation is minimally staged, consisting of four large circular lenses, actively reflecting street life, and an expressionless female mannequin dressed in business attire and slumped on top of a rotating pedestal.
