Back and better than before. Right off his well received
show at the Kitchen, which I didn’t see but gathered from the review that Lassry
really got his sculpture and installation on. The show was so well received, I
was ready to stop making jokes about him being the ultimate Roe Ethridge cover
band or owing his career to Neil Winokur. But man, I don’t know what to make of
Lassry’s debut at 303 Gallery. It seems he has finally gotten away from Roe Ethridge
only to run headlong into a career as a terrible sculptor. Frames half covered
in fabric, a yellow crib in the corner? I never remember disliking his color
choice in frames, but man, this is one ugly show. It’s as if he sourced my
grandmother’s leggings and/or prom dresses from the 80’s for material. Yup
still don’t like Elad Lassry’s work. On the upside. he has grown into his own
terrible art.

I am appalled at conceptual art masquerading as photography, and furious with a particular element in the art world who have hijacked photography only to prove themselves some sort of cutting edge hipsters. Boring and infuriating.

I am ok with the expanding what is to be a photographer and I am not sure it leads to the exclusion of say straight photo, if not for Lassry I couldn't imagine 303 picking up a young traditional photographer, I just don't thing Lassry is doing a very good job at it.
