David Olivant's Artcritical Author Page Lists Past Exhibitions
David Olivant's author page on artcritical aggregates multiple past exhibition announcements and reviews. Notable entries include a show opening September 3 at Catherine Clark Gallery in San Francisco, and a review of Robin Hill's exhibition at California State University, Stanislaus (September 7 to October 5, 2006) featuring materials like cotton batting, plywood, and ping pong balls. Another review covers Don Soker Contemporary Art in San Francisco (November 1 to December 14, 2006), where the author critiques Minimalism as obsolete. A review of an exhibition at Truckee Meadows Community College in Reno, Nevada (March 5 to 30, 2007) highlights works addressing preparation and journey, notably 'Conversation' with tower-like structures topped by clay or bronze animals. The page also references a late 20th century art world context where high art was vilified, leading to infatuation with popular culture. Additionally, it lists an exhibition at The Geffen Contemporary at MOCA in Los Angeles (October 29, 2007–February 11, 2008).
