James Kalm Interview April 2008

Don Porcella is at the 8:00 minute mark.

James Kalm tests the very limits of human endurance with this, the final installment of, the "New York Art Fair Weekend" marathon. The world famous Chelsea Hotel is the ninth and last stop on our grueling art odyssey. Pool may be the quintessential "low budge," "grass roots" art fair, highlighting the DIY attitude of New York's underground art scene. Featuring chats with Maxi Cohen, Eric Pelka and Don Porcella.

NY ARTS Review of Don Porcella April 2008

NY ARTS Magazine April 2008
Don Porcella at Stefan Stux Gallery
by Michael DeNiro

Don Porcella’s exhibition "Are We There Yet?" was on view at Stefan Stux Gallery in Chelsea in February.

Apparently the turkey vulture has been seen in 48 of 50 states; this is what Don tells me. Right now it’s in a Chelsea gallery and clutching a decapitated head. The artist, who hails from California but now works in New York City, then points out the bird’s coloring and its relation to art. I lose him here (I thought turkey vultures were just black and red all over) but the rainbow of colors that compose this bird’s wings seem to authenticate whatever he’s saying. More importantly, they set the tone for the entire show, which continues into the next room. The over-saturated colors which imbue Porcella’s work with a notable vibrancy come in part from the unusual media he uses to create them: encaustic for paintings and pipe cleaners for sculptures. The resulting works are highly unusual—childish, yet encumbered with meaning—something like how MTV must have appeared in the 80s, when outer space was still culturally relevant (astronauts figure in several of Don’s paintings,) and the Planet of the Apes remake did not exist.

The centerpiece of the whole show is the Tabled Installation, featuring a headless figure in a t-shirt and jeans, seated before a television and surrounded by “corny puffs,” “ass power drink,” rats, cigarette butts, and a gun. His head is the one in the claws of the aforementioned vulture, and the whole thing has something to do with the circle of life. But my favorite severed appendage in the show is the pipe cleaner Air Jordan. The iconic shoe comes complete with the bleeding stump of some unfortunate basketball player’s leg. Here and in many of the show’s works, Porcella reminds the viewer how culture can sever an object from its original environs, amalgamating it voraciously. Even so, pop culture is not the artist’s only target. An assortment of plastic baggies tacked to one wall present the viewer with the ability to pick and choose from the neurotic fragments of some ready-made counter-culture, each one stuffed with a pipe-cleaner sculpture evoking an object for which it was titled—UFO, Weed, Bombs, and even Messiah. I forgot to ask Porcella where the show’s title came from, and it may refer to the artist’s eager desire for a post-consumer world; but for me, it favorably calls to mind the youthful irreverence from which these imaginative works spring.

Village Voice Review of KUNST GRUPPE - April 2008

Village Voice Review of KUNST GRUPPE - a group show that Don Porcella is in at WERKSTATTE Gallery in New York City April 2008.

"Using pipe brushes, Don Porcella has made a hilariously irreverent sculpture of a brat, Art Lover, sticking its tongue out at the artist's own wood-panel paintings."

ArtCal Review of Don Porcella - March 2008

Don Porcella's art was reviewed by ArtCal.
http://zine.artcal.net/armory2008/contributor/olympia_lambert/

"Three artists' works stood out strongly from the rest... Don Porcella, also in Room 230. I couldn't help but laugh when I saw his little encaustic Frankencreatures and ghost floaters. There was something wildly fun and at the same time obnoxious, (but not overly so), about his pieces. I felt like I was back in grade school, trading sketches of the snotty nosed kid in the front row back and forth. With each layer of waxy buildup, Porcella's storytelling is whimsical and touching. At times he goes a bit too far for my own liking-- almost a kitschy Clown College-like quality-- but he steadies the course in the end, feeling much more like the "Ghostbusters" Marshmallow Man has been subdued and is now a delicious Smore."
Olympia Lambert ArtCal

Chelsea Now Review of "Are We There Yet?" @ STUX- Feb 2008

Volume 2, Number 16 | The Weekly Newspaper of Chelsea | January 18 - 24, 2007 "Chelsea Now"

Art Reviews By Jeffrey Wright

Are We There Yet?
Don Porcella
Through February 2
Stux Gallery
530 West 25th Street
(212-352-1600; www.stuxgallery.com)

Irreverence is one of Don Porcella’s trump cards and he plays it with a refreshing air of optimism at his first solo show at Stux Gallery. His childishly reductivist paintings are dispatched with brute gusto. They can hit the mark visually as well as conceptually.



“Solo Mission” depicts an astronaut zooming through the sky. Streaming out and propelling him is a diagonal slash of red, mustard and white daubs and drips — a perfect amalgam of abstraction and realism — done with cheekiness (and wide eyes). The encaustic on wood format adds weight and luster to the scores of small paintings.

Porcella is also known for working with pipe cleaners. These fuzzy, colorful units deflate the seriousness of art, causing a viewer to be charmed and disarmed. Probing further, they question our culture’s mightiest icons and in doing so, tweak our collective nose while maintaining sincerity. A hokey pipe cleaner eagle hangs from the sky. A Nike sneaker lies on its side still sheathing an amputated, bleeding foot. The presumably benign material is transformed into an agent of reversed expectations.



The most audacious part of an audacious show was a bunch of plastic bags tacked to the wall. Inside the bags were various gee-gaws made out of pipe cleaners. Cheese Yums were 99 cents. A little “Dealer” was offered. In his suit and red tie you wondered what kind of a dealer he was. Maybe all the artists need little action figures of dealers to play with, like Voodoo dolls to get into their dream gallery.

Here, Porcella crosses over from winning spoofery into an advanced portrayal of rituals and their attendant fetishes. This belief in things, both seen and unseen, is what lies at the root of art. We all want to have what we need to get what we want. And so we make good luck charms — and hey, sometimes they work.

"Our second travelogue of the week ranges through a quirky twilight zone. Like escapees from an Area 51 souvenir stand, Don Porcella's alien dolls, crafted from green pipe cleaners, stare bug-eyed from plastic bags pinned to the wall."

like Sasquatch lounging in a pink recliner
by a wilderness lake and a mobile home
trailer on fire are embodied in a thick,
