Dana Schutz: Jupiter’s Lottery at DAVID ZWIRNER

James Kalm, after nearly twenty years of producing the Kalm Report, sometimes gets the feeling that he’s the eccentric uncle, with the video camera. In the case of Dana Schutz, your correspondent has been covering her work since 2007(?) In the interim, Schutz has kept pushing and probing, what the relevance of contemporary painting could be. With “Jupiter’s Lottery”, Shutz fills the massive double gallery space of Davis Zwirner with an exhibition of huge expressionistic paintings, and ambitiously gnarly bronze sculpture. Taking a seeming turn to a darker ground, and illusions to historic painters both classic and modern, these works continue the goofy-grotesque narratives that have established Schutz as one of the present-day’s painter stars. Links to some of Schutz’s previous Kalm Reports are below. This program was recorded November 2nd, and 4th, 2023. A musical introduction is provided by Syd Hudson @SydHudsonMusic. #jameskalmreport #jameskalmroughcut #lorenmunk Dana Schutz “Stand By Earth Man” opening at Zach Feuer (LFL)    • Dana Schutz "Stand By Earth Man" opening a...   Dana Schutz Missing Pictures at ZACH FEUER    • Dana Schutz Missing Pictures at ZACH FEUER   Dana Schutz Piano in the Rain at FRIEDRICH PETZEL GALLERY    • Dana Schutz Piano in the Rain at FRIEDRICH...   Dana Schutz “Fight in an Elevator” at PETZEL    • Dana Schutz "Fight in an Elevator" at PETZEL   Dana Schutz "Imagine Me and You" at PETZEL    • Dana Schutz "Imagine Me and You" at PETZEL
