Gwenn Thomas at Yvon Lambert
December 01, 2006 Art in America
Excerpt–
A series of strikingly crisp photographs taken in 1974 by painter and photographer Gwenn Thomas for Avalanche (the short-lived art publication that exemplified the improvisational spirit of the 1970s avant-garde) was the summer offering at Yvon Lambert. Thomas's subject was Fear Ritual of Shark Museum, a canny and hilarious performance reviling art institutions, landlords and unacceptable boundaries of all kinds by the influential (and often outrageous) filmmaker, artist and performer Jack Smith, acted out on the verdant, well-groomed grounds of the Cologne Zoo.
