You still have time to see the show. One of the most compelling painters. Dump all you know from your brain and see the work in a new light. This is a nifty little trailer that the Whitney put together for the exhibition.

monumenta 2010 grand palais
paris 13 january - 21 february 2010
monumenta is one of the major international events in which an artist takes possession of an architectural space to develop his/her vision. The entire architecture of the building becomes a part of that artwork and creates dialogues between architecture, space and installation. Each year a leading international contemporary artist is invited by the french ministry of culture and communication to create an exceptional new work.
Stella Untalan’s minimalist drawings create unexpected landscapes. Each drawing is a combination of pastel, graphite, and charcoal with rhythmic marks of subtle hue, often escaping their self-imposed grid.
One way to orient oneself is by quiet, sustained looking.
At first glance one sees color and lots of it. The color fields in Gigi Naftzger's paintings create a restfulness that encourages one to linger, to look longer.
