DLG1648_Artist Eric Doeringer's exhibition opens right after our session!

Eric Doeringer comes by for a session before his opening. He's already gotten the thumbs up in person from art critics Jerry Saltz NY Mag) and Roberta Smith (NY Times) so I'm not feeling too much pressure to keep Eric from nerves which he keeps in check no matter what. Eric explains his work which has multiple and amusing layers while fielding my questions about what he was going to wear tonight and confirming that he had recently gotten his hair cut. I asked Eric to send me his version of the part of the session centering on his work-thanks Eric! "Return guest Eric Doeringer and I discuss his exhibition “Matson Jones & Co.” at Mulherin New York, which features Eric’s recreations of artworks by Jasper Johns and Robert Rauschenberg. Often described as “close friends” or “neighbors”, Johns and Rauschenberg were also lovers from 1954 to 1961- a relationship they kept secret at the time. This was a pivotal period for both: the era when Rauschenberg made his first Combines and Johns painted his first American flag. Eric and I talk about Johns and Rauschenberg’s relationship and their influence on one another’s artwork and the artists who followed them. We also chat about Eric’s experience of remaking their artwork and how his “copies” engage both the originals and our current time." And look at Eric's bio! Eric Doeringer is a New York-based artist who remakes works by other artists. Known for selling his "Bootleg" versions of contemporary art outside of art fairs and galleries, Doeringer has also exhibited at institutions including MoMA PS1, The Whitney Museum, The Brooklyn Museum, MassMoCA, La Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, and MUSAC (Spain). Doeringer's artist's books are held in the collections of numerous museum and university libraries and were recently featured in the exhibition Ed Ruscha: Books & Co., which travelled to the Museum Brandhorst in Munich and three branches of Gagosian Gallery. His exhibtion “Matson Jones & Co.” continues at Mulherin New York, 124 Forsyth Street, through December 31, 2016. Here's my previous Dr. Lisa with Eric during his En Kawara phase which was pretty heavy: https://audioboom.com/posts/3430838-dr-lisa-gives-a-sh-t_episode-1509_dr-lisa-separately-psychoanalyzes-artists-eric-doeringer-and-carla-gannis #EricDoeringer #JerrySaltz #RoberaSmith #art #comedy#psychotherapy #phillipglass #JasperJohns #RobertRauschenberg
