Stephen Vincent is tired tonight. He's made a serious piece of art every day for the past 99 days; today, he makes an additional 26. Numbers are important to Vincent in this offbeat exhibition: "The First 100 Days of Obama" is a one-night show, the art consists of 100 10X7 drawings which cover 588 square feet of gallery wall, and 25 copies of an eventual run of 100 copies of the accompanying book are rushed to the gallery today. Vincent completes page 100 of those volumes by hand, while the other 75 are more traditionally reproduced. So many interpretations of the numbers and the art are possible, whether they're on the presidential politics continuum, or of the more contemplative kind. It's a numbers game, sure, and the work repeats itself until the maker must ask himself whether it's worth the trouble. The images themselves are abstract black ink drawings, with notes about where and under what conditions they were made. Happy Day 100!
