4. NOTHNG OF THE MONTH CLUB at Off Paradise, New York
In 2013, the critic Erik LaPrade had a chance encounter with the artist David Hammons, who hed never met, at a friends studio. As Hammons was leaving, LaPrade ripped a page from his notepad and asked Hammons for his number. Hammons dutifully wrote down a phone numberjust not David Hammonss phone number.
And this is how a work of ephemera attributed to Erik LaPrade called THIS IS NOT DAVID HAMMONS PHONE # (c. 2013) has ended up in NOTHNG OF THE MONTH CLUB, a group show at Natacha Polaerts Walker Street project space Off Paradise. Conceived by Polaert and co-curator Randy Kennedy as an exhibition under the sign of artist Ray Johnson, each selected work embodies that legendary trickster in some way. As Kennedy explains in his essay, the artists chosenRichard Prince, Marlon Mullen, Karen Kilimnik, Richard Hell, and othersare like Johnson in that they have a love-hate relationship with the lever-pullers of the art world. Johnson, Kennedy writes, was working by choice and temperament outside the walls of power while possessing the tools to pick the lock on the back gate and wander around surreptitiously inside.
The show also features several works by Johnson, who died in 1995, including whats thought to be the last work exhibited in his lifetime, Taoist Pop Art School (1994).
In other words: Go see the show. Call the phone number. You never know wholl be on the other end of the line.
