SESSION THE BOWL AT THE DEITCH
Session The Bowl at the Deitch moves all senses: the smell of newly cut plywood with dust billowing in the air, the musical notes of skateboard wheels as they traverse the levels of the bowl, the touch of the cold metal as you climb the stairs to reach the rim and, finally, the sight of skaters looking brightly down into the kidney shaped bowl with a festival of images around them. There is an energy in the air of these 30-something men, yearning to be boys again, cheering one another on, trying to one-up each other. There is an energy in the art and collage of images, from a brightly colored space alien to a graffiti-skater "mix." Each piece could be looked at for hours, evaluating the layers, exploring the colors. What surprised us the most? An "in-your-face" nude by photographer Larry Clark pasted to the bottom of a board just waiting to be glimpsed as the skater rolls up off the edge of the bowl.
