Loren Munk, What Manhattan Makes Brooklyn Takes, 2004-06, oil, 72 x 64 inches (courtesy: Lesley Heller Workspace)
Matthew Farina reviews the exhibition Loren Munk: Location, Location, Location at Lesley Heller Workspace on view through October 16, 2011.
Farina writes that Munk's subject matter of "historical fragments and a visual patchwork of record keeping... feels especially homemade and definitively personal despite the artist’s outward preoccupation... With our abilities to chart and graph almost anything with a few clicks, one must ask the question when studying Munk's densely painted body of work, why use paint at all to create this?"
