  <Description><![CDATA[Ruth Gilmore Langs approaches painting with an inner passion that becomes evident when one allows oneself to venture beyond the surface of the canvas.  Once inside the painting, you are swept away by the magic of abstract expressionism in the hands of a truly gifted painter, a lover of nature, and a soul mate of other gifted painters such as; Diebenkorn, Hofman and Joan Mitchell.  The journey through her work will enable you to experience the rhythm that is so essential to fully grasp her strength and vision as well as her passion.  Ruth’s intuitive sense of color and composition is her natural state of being, it is her mind set, as is her ability to capture the landscape with the freedom of a child rolling down the hillside only to change direction by dashing up again to meet a clear blue sky.  Here is where you find the magic, in the realization that when you truly allow the work to capture your imagination, you allow yourself the vulnerability of a child and dare to dance among the lush colors of innocence and thus surrender to the transformative nature of ‘Paint’.

  <Description><![CDATA[The FLAG Art Foundation presents &quot;Size DOES Matter&quot;, curated by basketball legend Shaquille O'Neal. This exhibition includes works from international artists exploring the myriad ways that scale affects the perception of contemporary art.

Weighing 320 pounds and standing 7'1&quot; atop his size 22 shoes, Shaq is one of the most dominant players ever to play in the NBA.  Throughout his career, O'Neal has capitalized on his size and strength to overpower opponents for points and rebounds earning him nicknames such as Diesel and Superman.  Now Shaq takes the opportunity to reflect on his size with an exhibition boasting works from microscopic to giant pieces that have the ability to dwarf and exaggerate everyone -- even Shaq himself.

The exhibition will include works in a variety of media that employ scale as a key component of their composition. Every work in the show was selected by Shaq himself or is being newly made at his request.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Arario New York presents Miao Xiaochun’s Microcosm, an exhibition of more than twenty works in three dimensional animation, multi-panels, digital paintings, drawings, and embroideries.

As one of the most representative artists of China’s new media art, from early realism photograph to 3-dimensional work, Miao Xiaochun has always focused on the humanities, history and reality from a sociological and art historical perspective. The latest series of works employs the most advanced computer technologies, using classical paintings as a foundation of visual structure to create outlandish modern montages of virtual reality.

In views of subjective definitions toward historical images, Miao Xiaochun’s Microcosm is based on Dutch master Bosch’s Garden of Earthly Delight. He reinterprets the traditional Chinese idiom ‘Looking up the Sky from the Well’ to ‘Looking down the Well from the Sky’ (the literal translation of ‘Microcosm’). If the idiom ‘looking up the sky from the Well’ is used to describe a person with limited sight and knowledge struggling to comprehend the essence of life, ‘Looking down the Well from the Sky’ offers an image of a person located in a macro environment open to examining with a micro-lens but also struggling an all expansive understanding.

Microcosm is not created to recover the very truth of historical images, rather it is transformed and deducted with implied meaning within the image system, an effort to deconstruct the internal meaning of history and create psychological medium analysis. It recreates modern images in the tangled relations among reality and virtual world, familiarity and strangeness, intimacy and alienation, ego and non-ego.

C-print photographs, drawings, digital ink and wash painting, embroiders and other works expand the technique of expression and the limitation of materials, taking the 3-dimensional effect as a medium and utilizing the character of one medium to recover, translate, imitate, mix another.

Miao Xiaochun was born in China and studied at Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing where he currently teaches. He also attended the Kunsthochschule in Kassel, Germany. The artists has shown his works at Alexander Ochs Gallery in Berlin, Osage Gallery in Singapore and Walsh Gallery in Chicago. His works have also been exhibited at Le Grand Palais in France, Museu de Arte de Sao Paulo in Brazil, and the Cincinnati Art Museum in Ohio.

  <Description><![CDATA[PaceWildenstein, in collaboration with the artist’s estate, will present Joseph Beuys: Make the Secrets Productive, an exhibition of twelve rare sculptures by the seminal twentieth-century artist, dating from the 1950s through the end of his career. Over 90 black and white photographs taken by Ute Klophaus, documenting eleven of the artist’s ‘Aktion’ works, will be shown alongside four of these iconic happenings on film. The installation will also feature a separate screening room showcasing rare footage and interviews with Beuys. Such an in-depth presentation of Beuys’ sculpture and objects combined with the actions has not been organized by a New York gallery in several decades.

  <Description><![CDATA[Continuing its commitment to the exhibition of works on paper, Senior &amp; Shopmaker Gallery inaugurates its new space at 210 Eleventh Avenue in Chelsea with an exhibition of drawings and seldom seen hand-colored prints by Thomas Nozkowski. The show will include work produced over nearly two decades, and seeks to shed light on the integral connections between the artist’s drawings, paintings on paper, and printmaking endeavors.

For over thirty years, Nozkowski has practiced his own form of idiosyncratic abstraction, foregoing a signature style or subject matter in favor of seemingly limitless variations in form and nuanced color. Though the artist claims his images are drawn from the everyday world and personal experience, their literal sources are obscured, leaving only the faintest suggestion of the familiar. Like artist forbears Jean Arp, Paul Klee, and often Joan Miro, Nozkowski works on an intimate scale particularly well suited to works on paper, and whose detail and variation are demanding of the viewer’s focused study.

  <Description><![CDATA[Catalog available Lohin Geduld Gallery is proud to present our third exhibition of paintings and works on paper by Kyle Staver. The exhibition is accompanied by a catalog with essay by independent curator and critic, Karen Wilkin.

In this series of recent paintings Kyle Staver continues her exploration of intimate scenes while incorporating pensive hues and darker themes. Throughout her career Staver has portrayed the joys of the ordinary world of afternoon bike rides, morning cups of coffee and dressing for the day. Her new paintings depict figure skaters flying through the air and Canada geese soaring overhead. These scenes, with their muted palette and monumental compositions, evoke masters such as Gustave Courbet. In the exhibition catalog, Karen Wilkin writes, “The moments Staver presents to us seem pleasant but without particular significance, non-events that we might not pay attention to, in actuality, here prolonged for scrutiny and delectation by virtue of the painter’s robust gestures and forthright simplifications.”

A number of paintings in this body of new work, however, depart from this domestic arena to delve into allegorical realms of spatial and emotional complexity. In one painting, a voluptuous woman on horseback gazes unashamed out at the viewer, while in another two men are completely engrossed in an almost savage hunt for snapping turtles. As described in the catalog, “Here, unlike the paintings of domesticity, it seems clear that something not only specific but probably significant is happening. But what is it? In contrast to the sense of unremarkable contentment in Staver’s domestic pictures, there’s an elusive suggestion of the disquieting, a suggestion intensified by unstable space, more tipped and layered than in many of Staver’s previous works.” This sense of the preternatural and the uncanny defines this new body of Kyle Staver’s paintings and prints.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[The Walter Wickiser Gallery announces the solo exhibition The Amplitude of Nature, works by Katsuhiro Kuramoto on display. 

“Katsuhiro Kuramoto has been an artist since he was a child. In elementary school, his homeroom teacher, an art teacher by chance, saw a painting by Kuramoto and submitted it to a competition held by the Osaka Art Museum. As it turned out, the young artist won the prize. Kuramoto's compositions resonate with his memories of childhood. Modeled with resin clay, Kuramoto uses gold, silver, and platinum foil to build a composition that is mesmerizing in its effects. A higher consciousness is the goal of the artist, who worships nature in the form of carp, flowers, and butterflies. As a result, Kuramoto's choice of a simple but telling imagery goes along well with the
positive notions of Shintoism, its emphasis on harmony and world order.”* 

* Jonathan Goodman writes about the arts for numerous publications, including The New York Times, Artnews, 
Art and Auction and Art and Antiques.

  <Description><![CDATA[Axelle Fine Arts presents the urban landscapes of Patrick Pietropoli which features the shifting perspectives of Paris, New York, Venice, and Florence. Pietropoli's canvases are extremely detailed, large-scale works that characterize the city as an entity. Each painting utilizes color to convey tone, meaning and mood where Pietropoli's devotion to detail and lighting make his seemingly-still images come alive. The gallery will also feature a small collection of the artist's evocative figure paintings.  Pietropoli recently moved from Paris to Brooklyn and will be attending the opening reception.

  <Description><![CDATA[In 1994, well before the terms &quot;eco-friendly&quot;, &quot;green revolution&quot; or even &quot;re-cycling&quot; were household words, PORTIA MUNSON's Pink Project was the stand out art work in the New Museum's now legendary Bad Girls exhibition. This will be the first reconstruction of this project in New York since it was originally shown. Consisting of thousands of found pink plastic and rubber objects spread out on a table, this careful arrangement of society's junk cast-offs causes visual overload, instilling simultaneous delight and disgust within the viewer. The nightmarish array of objects created to appeal to women and girls, includes hair curlers, pacifiers, fingernails, combs, dildos, barrettes, toys, tampons, kitchen gadgets and hundreds of other items representing the conclusion of mass consumption and seduction. Pink Project was an inspirational piece that preceded society's global attention to the environment and foreshadowed the art world's response to it as well. In fact, Pink Project was originally reviewed almost entirely as a treatise on feminism rather than the environment. There will also be a new work entitled Green Piece: Sarcophagus, that is a continuation of her practice, and speaks directly to the commodification of the of the green ethos. ]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[For years, Lowe has used humble materials and sly humor to critique the conventions, foibles, neuroses, and injustices of contemporary society.  She skillfully crafts individual objects and entire installations from papier-mâché and enamel paint.  That which initially appears to be a genuine psychiatrist’s office or library full of books is revealed as a cartoonish, very funny, ersatz construction freighted with jabs and cultural references.  Her targets have included the obsessive self-help movement, environmental destruction, and the pharmaceutical industry, among many others.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[This three person exhibition presents three different viewpoints/perspectives of a simple yet ambiguous notion in Japanese, “mawaru.” In English, “mawaru” means to turn around, spin, circulate or cycle, and to visit places. The theme of this exhibition spontaneously grew out of the common ground found in the works of three artists from Japan, living in New York, USA. 

ON megumi Akiyoshi created a series of paintings and sculptures called, &quot;Blooming Bubbles&quot;. ON visualizes life circulating and flowing perpetually in this world and beyond. In this flux, spumes are born and disappear just like flowers open and lose their petals. &quot;Blooming Bubbles&quot; are the artist’s projection of our existence. We are all given a certain amount of time in one lifetime, during which, ON wishes full blossoming for all beings. 

In the series, &quot;Zoological Specimen&quot;, Akiyuki Ina has created ‘resurrected’ stuffed animals, made of discarded clothing found on the streets of NY. These works are loosely based on animals that may become extinct in the near future. Though these are endearing creatures, by re-constructing them in such a way that the bones emerge from their bodies, Akiyuki imposes the horror of hybrid-transformation and deformation in the process of recycling materials. “Zoological Specimen&quot; evokes a hazardous cycle of modernization, which often results in a fragile co-existence with nature. 

Hiroshi Sunairi created a collection of video, photography and sculpture, entitled, &quot;Pilgrimage,&quot; based on his trip to China in 2006, passing through Beijing (北京), Lijiang (丽江), Shangri-la (香格里拉), Deqin (德欽), Feilai si (飞来寺) and Yubeng village (雨崩村) in the Yunnan Province (雲南省), near the border of Tibet Autonomous Region. This journey, culminated in meeting a Tibetan Lama and making a pilgrimage to Yubeng's sacred waterfall at the foot of Meili Snow Mountain, Kawakarpo-la (梅里雪山). For Sunairi, this work is a documentation of the act of pilgrimage.

  <Description><![CDATA[In Kang's paintings, the inherent instability of the subject is a constant concern. Central to her work is the Deleuzian question of 'becoming' – the point at which an idea, creative process or painting crystallizes and takes on a new form. This state of perpetual evolution – or metamorphosis - is a second vital focus in Kang's work. Her paintings capture this dynamic process using subjects such as eating, sleeping, splitting and doubling and most of the artist's themes center on these everyday organic processes. Shifting between abstract and figurative registers, the artist's vocabulary includes a dizzying range of biomorphic forms including mushrooms and plants as well as animals. These denizens of the forest are never quite what they seem however, with fungi blown up to the size of poisonous clouds, and piles of skulls resembling extravagant bouquets of dead flowers. 

Kang uses her paintings to link two separate activities through a shared event. The artist's fascination with hybridity stems, in part, from her own dislocation. Born and raised in Korea, she has made her home in the vastly different cultural milieu of London for the better part of the last decade. Adjustment has become a cornerstone of her reality, a state of mind that has led to her rejection of the Aristotelian concept that change is illusory. Instead, the artist has adopted a more radical process-based philosophy in her work. Kang's paintings push beyond geographical boundaries and contend with more global notions of dual-process – for example, eating as a means of swallowing as well as digestion. ]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Jang explored various night landscapes around the world in his previous Collusion series. While the process of making the Collusion series exposed him to nature, now he seems to have discovered how nature can bring him closer to who he is. Even though his new body of works, which is being shown in this exhibition, looks afar from the previous series, it is part of the inevitable journey that leads him to where he stands today. His provocative and illuminating new works represent his autobiography through photography. His perspective appears to be more introverted and more intimate with the medium than before. He portrays himself and family members through the use of overlapping so as to literally and metaphorically express his submerged identity. 
 
In Pray-1st (2010), for example, Jang bluntly epitomizes who he is and from where he has come. According to critic Lyle Rexer, “It is the most autobiographical of his works, bearing direct evidence of himself and his past, and yet it is the most abstract and the least directly readable.” This work encapsulates and defines the artist inside out. ]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[In the past, John Himmelfarb--the Chicago born, bred and based working artist--  has occasionally incorporated truck imagery in his work, usually in an ancillary role, or as a single character in larger, more complicated pieces. In more recent years, he has been using the image of a truck as the central organizing principle in his paintings, drawings, prints, and now in sculpture. The latter comprise the predominate work in this exhibition at Luise Ross Gallery.
 
In Himmelfarb’s world--somewhere between abstraction and figuration—the three bronzes, one large plywood sculpture, and the one wall-filling painting in the show are clearly identifiable as trucks. Rather rickety and tired from countless trips and loads, perhaps, but Himmelfarb captures the very essence of trucks. And with artistic wit and inventiveness in the line and form of his depiction, the truck imagery morphs into almost human physical attributes and attitudes in the viewer’s imagination. The artist’s titles for some of the pieces—“Fortitude,” “Knowledge,” “Perseverance”—suggest human virtues dating to the Aristotelian and Platonic tradition, and are clues to his intended anthropomorphism.
 
And what do trucks do? They carry stuff, and Himmelfarb’s are loaded. Perhaps a truck aficionado other than the artist will recognize a crane arm at rest, or the suggestion of a crank shaft, but most viewers will be content to categorize the cargo as a collection of forms suggestive of impedimenta, of “stuff” acquired and accumulated over time and experience, just in case. And for the Heads out there, it’s OK to assume that Himmelfarb’s wonderful work in this exhibition is a fitting nod of homage to “Truckin’.”

  <Description><![CDATA[The Edward Thorp Gallery will present Charles W. Hutson, A Survey Exhibition. Charles W. Hutson was a teacher, writer, and painter born in1840 in McPhersonville, South Carolina, who died in 1936 in New Orleans. This exhibit will examine this Southern, self-taught artist who in refusing training pursued his own direction in art.  Spending much of his time sketching in New Orleans and along the Mississippi coast, he developed an expressive and luminous style in pastels, watercolor and later in oils.

The son of a lawyer, Hutson had his own legal ambitions but which were thwarted by the Civil War and the ensuing political and economic climate of the South. After graduating from South Carolina College, he served as a private in the confederate army. He became a casualty in the first battle of Bull Run, in 1861 and was captured in the battle of Seven Pines in 1862. At the end of the war, he turned to academia. He taught in numerous Southern colleges for 60 years, wrote books and contributed to many periodicals. His art was influenced by his many experiences and adventures across the nineteenth century South, building on his family’s long history in South Carolina.

Hutson came to art late. It wasn’t until the age of 65, that he decided to focus on his artistic pursuits. He had begun sketching in pastel while teaching in Texas in 1905. However, it was not until his retirement that he became serious about painting turning to his surroundings in New Orleans for inspiration. An amateur botanist, his love of nature is apparent in his work. His professional scholarship in Greek, French, Latin, literature, history and philosophy can be seen as well in his series of paintings based on subjects from the Bible and the Classics.  Critically acclaimed his work has been described as both modernist and primitive, his oeuvre is immediately engaging reflecting both his dedication and vision. Hutson had an innate sense for the rudimentary quality of line, form and color and demonstrated an uncanny facility for abstracting landscape. His work renders the atmosphere of the South with great precision, reflecting both its light and humidity.

He exhibited in local and southern art galleries, and memorial exhibitions have taken place in New York, New Orleans, Houston, Baltimore and Richmond. His works can be found in the Phillips Collection, the New Orleans Museum of Art, Mint Museum of Art, and the Telfair Academy of Arts and Sciences. He was included in “They Taught Themselves” by Sidney Janis published in 1942.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Working within this diverse range of printmaking methods fostered an intuitive parsing of structure and process. In Moser’s words: To work on a print is to strip down the constructive parts of an image, slowing down and revealing the performative aspects of it’s making. I'm intrigued by how the process records both the structure and the event and makes the process of becoming visible. Hand in glove ⎯ the gesture in cahoots with the machine. 
These prints and a contemporaneous series of drawings called Sixteen Street led Moser to introduce a new dynamic into her new paintings. She establishes a dialogue between the tracery of wide metallic brushstrokes and her characteristic ﬁne line grafﬁto. She has set aside the deep prussian blue that deﬁned the prior body of work for a range of saturated color, here too playing off a relationship between neutral tones and vibrant hues. In her newest canvases ⎯ Slipstream, Mary Mary and House of Cards ⎯ a larger formheart of her work.

  <Description><![CDATA[The exhibition consists of two series of paintings—landscapes and interiors—which depict fractured representations of complex fictive realms.  The paintings on view explore syncretic, contemplative, dream-like scenes, inspired by imagery culled from tours of both India and Northern Europe over the past several years.  Wollard cites work from folk art museums in Karnataka and Delhi, the Dr. Guislain museum as well as Van Eyck’s Ghent Altarpiece as influential.

The interiors, which Wollard refers to as “Psychic Architecture,” are the result of his fascination with 19th century glass structures and the conflation of the self-evident boundaries of interior and exterior space.  Drawing parallels between these artificial spaces and the human mind, Wollard explores open-ended territory where imaginary histories and painterly inclinations merge.

In contrast, the landscapes are imagined geographies in which diverse personal and historical iconographies interact and interrupt narrative flow.  They examine the simultaneity of multiple realities as they collude and collide in nature, offering whimsical, strange and otherworldly connections.  The figures appear to interact with a kind of detached intimacy, empty of any pre-determined logical causality, allowing uncommon relationships to unfold openly.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Pieter Hugo’s series Nollywood portrays archetypal characters from one of the three largest film industries in the world, “Nollywood” in Nigeria (which is larger than Hollywood and second to Bollywood, according to 2009 UNESCO report). Nollywood produces over 1000 low-budget, straight-to-video films a year. The films lean toward the macabre and melodramatic, with narratives rooted in local symbolic imagery and traditional storytelling. Themes and subjects often include the supernatural, with plots centered on romance, extortion, prostitution, witchcraft, or religion. Produced for a primarily African audience, the films are a rare example of African self-representation in mass media.

The photographs in the series were taken with a medium-format camera in the film production centers of Enugu and Asaba in southern Nigeria, using local actors to recreate scenes and characters inspired by typical Nollywood films. The staged images, which recall film production stills, are the artist’s interpretations of the iconic myths and symbols that characterize Nollywood movies. Like the artist’s series The Hyena and Other Men, which was shown at the gallery in 2007, Nollywood focuses on a unique cultural community in Africa. The resulting images are portraits on the border between documentary and fiction.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[The watercolors of Alexander Purves are made from the direct observation of nature. His approach emphasizes the immediacy of the medium and its ability to capture – with minimal means - the ephemeral quality of light. The watercolor is applied in transparent layers, the unpainted white paper often acting as a positive element in the composition. Rock formations are a recurrent subject, their aspect varying from moment to moment with the changing quality of the light. These rock paintings are made on a small island in the St. Lawrence River, where he spends part of each summer. Another frequent subject is the winter landscape of northwestern Connecticut where he maintains a studio. The colors and textures of this landscape are reflected both in sketches of folding hills and in more focused studies of tangled brambles seen from the studio window. In commenting on his 2006 show at the Blue Mountain Gallery, William Zimmer observed, “[His] subjects are innately unglamorous, yet following Ruskin in this tendency to embrace the overlooked in nature, Alec Purves keeps coaxing eloquence out of brambles and rocks.”

Purves’s watercolors have been included in many group shows. Major exhibitions of his work have been held at the Blue Mountain Gallery in 2006, the Washington (CT) Art Association in 1987, 1992, and 2003, and at the Woodbury Gallery of Antiques and Fine Art in 2004. In 2002 his travel drawings were exhibited at the Hunter College Leubsdorf Gallery in a show entitled “On Site.”

Purves received his design training at the Yale University School of Architecture, graduating in 1965 with a Master of Architecture degree. His professional career has been primarily that of an architect and a teacher of design. He has drawn and painted all his life and is now focusing on his career as an artist.

Having coordinated and taught design studios at all levels in the Yale School of Architecture, Purves currently restricts his teaching to “Introduction to Architecture,” a course he developed which is open to any student in the University, and for the last nine years he has been leading an intensive drawing seminar in Rome for graduate architecture students.

Purves has lectured widely and participated as a visiting critic at schools including Harvard Graduate School of Design, Columbia University, University of Pennsylvania, Carleton University, Rhode Island School of Design, and Ohio State University. He has also led many Yale Educational Travel programs, study tours that have included Italy, France and the British Isles as well as Eastern Europe, the Turkish coast, Egypt and Japan.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Ingalls’ work is a study of ways in which human cultures secure themselves in space by drawing and redrawing the earth’s surface. Drawing Earth, a major sculpture that gives the exhibition its title, is a 10’ x10’ x 8’ stack built of three-dimensional maps. Its surfaces reveal successive stages of transformation caused by changing human attitudes. It suggests that in the process of scraping, digging, erasing, creating and destroying walls and redrawing boundaries, we draw our fears and desires into the surface of the earth. These drawings leave traces throughout successive layers of cultural development.  For Ingalls, the surface of the earth is a place of encounter between nature and human drawing acts. It is a persistent palimpsest.

Ingalls also reminds us that drawing does not always create literal things on this earth. Measuring and locating systems also are often superimposed upon the earth:  charts, graphs, and maps are used to help us understand processes that shape our lives.  Drawing Earth is suspended from a grid, signaling that the stack is a study site rather than a simple representation of place. Openings left within the surface of each layer become viewing stations through which the viewer can gaze at the drawing of previous layers. In Ingalls’ two-dimensional drawings, the stretched canvas also becomes a grid that measures an archaeological site filled with locating devices.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Cavin-Morris presents one of the first exhibitions in New York City of artwork by self-taught artists from Japan.  The show will be this first of many exhibitions centered on drawings and paintings with strong abstract calligraphic content, ceramics with an almost deconstructed tribal feeling, and wildly expressionistic textiles.  There is a sub-current that travels through this work; it unravels the tightly wound meticulous constrictions of Japanese Traditional Craft and explodes it into a fascinating world of anti-calligraphy, anti-sculpture, and anti-textile formalism.  The art in this exhibition never loses its Japanese context but its aesthetic capacity to interface with contemporary world art by trained and untrained artists is powerful and non-challengeable.
 
We were introduced to this body of Japanese Art Brut by the contemporary artist Yohei Nishimura, whose sensitive guidance and non-interference has nurtured the creative journeys of artists with disabilities in Japan.  This work is raw and beautiful.   Its ragged edges appear because the individual expression is less about control of technique then the struggle for direct expression and immediate contact with materials and translation of ideas.  The strength of individual styles prevail through the drawings, ceramics and fiber pieces, and this is as much a testament to Nishimura’s sensitive midwifery of expression in a world where too often instructors unduly dominate and influence the work.   He offers immediate help when it comes to the technical process of firing the ceramics. The two ateliers represented in this exhibition provide the artists studio space away form home, but most of these artists continue their creative activities at home as well. ]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Following the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854 and the subsequent public survey along the Sixth Principal Meridian, the Great Plains was officially opened to development and the surveyor's grid provided the basis for cataloguing the open expanse. Drawing on the remarkable history of 19th century survey photography, Joe Deal's new series of photographs, West and West, serves as a meditation on landscape and history, and their place in the realms of imagination and representation.

Robert Mann Gallery will exhibit a selection of photographs from this body of work, which continues Deal's keen observation of the forms and markers of built and natural landscapes. While West and West eschews the imagery of development for which Deal is best known, this project still connotes the impact of human-initiated processes by asking the viewer to think historically and consider what in a landscape has changed and also what has not changed. Focusing on the Great Plains also marks a return to the region where Deal grew up. West and West offered the opportunity to reconnect with what he calls &quot;the dreamed landscape&quot; of his childhood, now framed by the complicating knowledge of the history that shaped the land.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[The artists state: &quot;Disembodied archetypes deals with the performance of the poet as a monotonous daily routine of useless acts for the purpose of creating a kind of primitive theater,or a one man theater that endlessly strives to deny death by the intensity of action.

Neither the grotesque proportions of these heads nor the idiotic manner of these performances imitate life. Rather they aim to imitate the dynamic of thought. The minds conception of reality, like a warped mirror in a circus booth, could reflect, as in these works, an irrational, absurd reality and yet a true one in that it is how the mind perceives.


It is through irrationality that the senses grasp truth and it is the role of the artist to make a true image - one which is not literal or descriptive but real. Perhaps the image of the mask best describes the theatre and the painting in that through it the unreal becomes fact and the banal divine. 
The performance of the poet is a daily act of repetitious rituals that embodies, in his work, the intensified condition of being.

In the theatre of death, the disembodied is the subject stripped from its context and thrown into an empty arena (in which the canvas or the stage function as a magnifying glass) so that he may be examined, objectified, made protagonist or condemned.

The paintings are death masks that have been intensified by painterly events and transformed into a grotesque one man theatre without an audience which is re-enforced by the performance as a collage of impressions, quotations and imitations of idiotic moments.  Both are immersed in the real through the disciplined act of quotation and gives rise to the unleashed psychic ready-mades.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[In this new body of work, Belcourt continues to challenge the boundaries of landscape painting, exploring the tension between representation and abstraction. Her characteristic hedge-like forms resemble blocks or cubes, fracturing and defining space. Multiple horizon lines reveal partial views of mountains, sky and water. The picture plane and its component parts are fluid, and, like nature itself, constantly changing.

Belcourt’s paintings are filled with light. It is crisp and clear and inspired by the rural Canadian landscape that she visits each year. The large hedges that inhabit these open spaces are dense and dark green. For over ten years, Belcourt has created numerous versions of these hedges: long and sinewy, bulbous and bushy, wide and imposing.

Belcourt’s process is revealed through varying degrees of abstraction. Hedgeland Painting #13 features cube-like forms with simplified landscape views. Mountainous shapes curve and undulate. A red block of color jumps from the picture plane, and the block is mirrored in a silhouette of black line. Perspectives shift, and vistas appear both near and far. Layers of oil paint give a sensual and organic quality to the forms, suggesting a mysterious life source.

HedgeLand Painting #11 is similar in its puzzle-like assortment of mounded and cubed shapes. Opaque whites and warm creams jostle with shifting greens, yellows and blues. The geometry of planes and grids is broken by multiple waves. Space and form mirror each other, and then change. Cross-sections and split images are presented simultaneously, top to bottom, side-to-side. Belcourt’s unique combinations of color, light and space allow for another way of seeing, or sensing, what is around us.

This is Louise Belcourt’s third solo exhibition with the gallery, and her first in New York in almost four years. She lives and works in New York and Canada. ]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Although Smith's work as a painter may best be described as &quot;photorealistic,&quot; the difference between her work and that of other artists is that she not only uses select photograph as a “sketch” for future paintings, but exhibits photographs that she believes stand on their own with equal importance, in groupings along with the paintings. In this exhibition, Smith also has included a collection of photographs in a video presentation, which emphasizes her integrated versatility. 

The title of this show &quot;The Brush or the Lens&quot; represents the artist’s continuing commitment to expressing her fascination with nature through both photography and painting. Her meticulous concentration on detail in her paintings has frequently elicited the question &quot;Is that a painting or a photograph?&quot; In fact, one piece &quot;Autumn Leaves,&quot; a triptych, displays a photograph of a grouping of leaves on the forest floor, then a painting created from that original photograph, and finally, a photograph of that painting. The effect of this &quot;crossing of the boundaries&quot; leads one to marvel at the similarity of the three images. 

In her first solo exhibit at Viridian, Smith focused on what she referred to as &quot;complex microcosms found close to the earth.&quot; She described them as &quot;Naturescape&quot;. In the current exhibit, Smith has taken her love for nature one step further to demonstrate her technical precision again, this time with flowers. For example in her painting entitled &quot;Rose of Sharon&quot; she gently captures the flower's folds and shadows, as your eye takes in the finely veined, translucent petals illuminated by the sun. ]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[The two artists in this exhibition, Reena Kallat and Sara Rahbar, live on different continents, Asia and North America, or sometimes on the same one, namely Asia (India and Iran), from where their observations about the nature of power as it effects belonging informs their individual practices.

Their work speaks about concerns and caution, in a time when power re-infects those already weakened by how it has been nurtured in a post-global society, of absolutes that have made our world spiral into an existential meltdown with the gradual erosion of rights and mobility; - a set of conditions that is leading to an increment in the condition of subalternity. 2 This subaltern status, that results from the rise of neo-liberalist cosmopolitanism and a hegemonic globalization, has disturbed fragile states and complicates economic relationships along gender, tribal, ethnic and racial lines.]]></Description>
