More of Chelsea
So here's an interesting juxtaposition: the work of Fernanda Gomes at Baumgartner (characterized by sparse, all-white, "minimalism" around ideas of delicacy and dust, including string, a lot of white paint, and scotch tape) contrasted with Anton Henning at Zach Feuer, whose acctual paintings I really didn't like, but his Salon-style hanging with the intensely-painted walls made the whole gallery blend into his paintings in a real "Maximalist" approach.

hey meign, sorry i missed your call, glad to hear you're making more sense out of >everything than I could.
anywhat let me add this to the mix: you know the regress argument? Quick/dirrrty version: 1. For a belief to be justified, it must be based on something that justifies it, some information which shows the first belief to be true. 2. This information which justifies the first belief must itself be justified if it is able to justify the first belief. 3. Therefore, the information which justifies the first belief must be justified by being based on something else that justifies it as well. 4. You can see where this is heading: you will always need another justification, aka the chain of justifications is infinite(!), and you still never justify belief #1.
What I thought you might dig is that the first meigns to stumble onto this problem (greek skeptics) thought it was a good thing: isostheneia (futility of all arguments) leads to epoche (suspension of judgement) which leads to ataraxia (perfect tranquillity). According to Pyrrho we should "say of each individual thing that it no more is than is not, or both is and is not, or neither is nor is not." If you give it a try, let me know how it goes.
no such thing as nothing
