Jerry Saltz and Don Kimes in Kimes' studio,
Fowler-Kellogg Galleries, The Chautauqua Institution
Prince Street Gallery, New York City, 1993
Don Kimes deals with recovery and reinvention, resurrection and recreation - the image literally regenerated by nature and intention.
Julie Langsam
Statement for exhibition “Color as Structure”, Frederieke Taylor Gallery, NYC, curated by Julie Langsam
Chautauqua Institution performance with Martha Graham choreographer Kevin Keenan
Montpelier Art Center Galleries, Maryland, 1999
Kimes achieves an iconography of long term turbulence, not immediate agitation,
which gives us a sense of the earth's age, rather than recent dissarray.
