In my review of Kinke Kooi's exhibition Let Me Comfort You at Feature Inc. and William Swanson's show Architectonic (seen above) at DCKT Contemporary, I address how each artist takes a different approach to revising and reappropriating generic architectures. Kooi's meticulous collage, drawing and painting imagines enveloping, textured spaces of sexual, psychological and sensual intimacy. Swanson, meanwhile, envisions brilliantly kaleidoscopic acid trips through abandoned interiors and blighted lots. While his neon paintings are more visually engaging and spectacular, Kooi offers a kind of personal optimism against Swanson's popular pessimism. Read the whole review here.
