SHOUTS & MURMURS  E -MAIL AUTO-RESPONSE  by  Martin Marks OCTOBER 25, 2010 Dear Friend, Family Member, Loved One, and/or Business Associate: Thank you for your e-mail, which, if it is under three (3) sentences long, I have read. Owing to the large volume of e-mails I’m receiving at this time, please note that it will sometimes take up to fourteen (14) calendar days, though sometimes longer (and sometimes much longer), to respond to your e-mail; in the interim, please rest assured that I am attempting to address, resolve, or think about the matter you have described, unless, of course, I’m avoiding the matter entirely.

  Lectures, Panels, and Dialogues ARTIST TALK | 6:30 pm   Dana Schutz and Jeremy Sigler       Artist Dana Schutz speaks with poet, sculptor, and critic Jeremy Sigler as they bring together their unique perspectives to consider Schutz's work of the last ten years found in the exhibition  Dana Schutz: If the Face Had Wheels .   Sigler is Associate Editor of  Parkett  and has published five books of poetry, most recently,  Crackpot Poet  (Black Square Editions/Brooklyn Rail 2010).

She has had solo exhibitions at the Rose Art Museum, Brandeis University; the Museum of Contemporary Art, Cleveland; and Site Santa Fe...

Of Beauty.... this Is Life, this is Art As summer fades and fall rises the ongoing magic of creative beauty continues at October's Art Salon. Returning to our stage is the alluring sensuality of musician Sophia Urista, the coolness of acoustic jazz guitarist Mike Krenner and the wonderment of newcomer Mark Safan. We will also celebrate the work of our host artists, Gilles Larrain, and Louda, whose majesty will be exhibited at the Steven Kasher Gallery on November 2nd. As always Gilles' special sangria will carry forth on its trajectory as will an assortment of succulent "eats and treats." Join us for yet another "grand" evening at 95 Grand Street! Doors open at 6:30pm on Thursday, October 27th.
