  <Description><![CDATA[The Early Gothic Hall at The Cloisters reopened in the Spring of 2006 after a five-year renovation. Completely refurbished 13th-century limestone windows and two dozen panels of newly conserved and reinstalled stained glass, primarily from the 13th- and 14th-centuries, are among the objects on view. Four recently acquired and exceptional examples of German stained glass from the late-13th century glazing program for the convent church in Altenberg-an-der-Lahn are reunited in this new installation. The renovation of the Early Gothic Hall also features construction of two new limestone apertures in an interior wall (for the display of grisaille glass windows) and new lighting. The display in this room constitutes the largest and most varied group of 13th- and 14th-century panels outside Europe. Also returned to view are more than a dozen important Gothic sculptures and paintings from the Museum’s permanent collection, including the lifesize Virgin from the choir screen of Strasbourg Cathedral (mid-13th century) and a recently acquired late 13th-century head also from the region of Strasbourg on the Upper Rhine. As a result of a new protective glazing program installed along the exterior wall, rare examples of Gothic stained glass are now illuminated by natural daylight, as they were originally meant to be seen.

  <Description><![CDATA[The Campin Room at The Cloisters, the branch of the Metropolitan Museum devoted to the art and architecture of medieval Europe, recently reopened to the public following an extensive renovation. The gallery houses Robert Campin’s Annunciation Triptych (known as the Merode Triptych), which has been one of the masterworks at The Cloisters for nearly half a century. The new installation highlights the phenomenon of late medieval private devotion. Two new wall cases allow the exhibition of devotional objects formerly seen in the Treasury, and two important 15th-century stained-glass panels—one representing Christ as the Man of Sorrows, the other the Virgin as the Mater Dolorosa—have been installed in the central windows. Acquired in 1998, these panels are on view at The Cloisters for the first time and contribute greatly to the private devotional theme. New, more discreet lighting has been installed and the gallery walls have been re-plastered to match the original color. ]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[This exhibition examines how performances attempted to break boundaries set by the communist state's politicians and censors, focusing on theater, music, and dance events that contested the prevailing totalitarian regime and anticipated the forthcoming political and social changes. As the revolutions in most Soviet bloc countries were not the result of a violent overthrow of power, art was one the main arenas where &quot;the revolutionary&quot; started to happen. Curated by Karen Burke, Assistant Chief, Music Division, The New York Public Library for the Performing Arts and Aniko Szucs, Ph.D. Candidate in Performance Studies at New York University. The Romanian presence in the exhibition has been conceived and supported by the Romanian Cultural Institute in New York.

  <Description><![CDATA[In celebration of Women's History Month, The Grady Alexis gallery presents Women-Made an exhibit featuring the work of Dindga McCannon, Jessica Lagunas and Margaret Peot; curated by Andrea Arroyo. Women-Made is an exhibition that presents three diverse approaches to concepts of femininity and gender roles.

Dindga McCannon is a Harlem-born painter, printmaker, muralist, author, illustrator and educator whose work has been exhibited extensively. She presents one-of-a-kind art quilts and mixed media works made of fabric, thread, metal, paper, paint, and found objects. She incorporates a variety of materials into intricate layers of texture and color, in works that commemorate well-known and everyday women.

Jessica Lagunas is a New York-based Guatemalan artist; she has exhibited locally and internationally. Lagunas presents two series of collages on vintage prints. Her work deals with the condition of women in contemporary society, questioning their obsessions with body image, beauty, sexuality and ageing.

Margaret Peot is a book artist, printmaker, painter and writer. She is the author of Make Your Mark: Explore Your Creativity and Discover Your Inner Artist. She presents Altered Inkblots a series of elaborate swirls of ink, modified with color pencils to uncover a startling world of fantastic imagery. ]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Nature, Once Removed: The (Un)Natural World in Contemporary Drawing presents a selection of work by 21 contemporary artists who use drawing to explore our alienated relationship to nature, creating oblique narratives inflected with irony, anxiety, grotesquerie and satire. Much of the stylization of plants, animals and geological forms in the show bears the influence of popular culture, demonstrating the degree to which our contemporary conception of the natural world has been shaped by cartoons and advertising. The work in the show varies significantly in its treatment of the theme, alternately mythic (Huey, Saul), abstract (Crump, Herrera, Taylor), fantastic (Fueki, Hancock, Karpov, Ulivo), political (Esquivel, Piehl), nostalgic (Barrett, Panter), pessimistic (Di Genova, Hoving), deadpan (Brown, Patch) and wryly funny (De Los Angeles, Johnston, Peterson, Wesley). A variety of formal and technical means are on display, including woodburning, bravura brushwork, meticulous collage and finely polished graphite drawing.

  <Description><![CDATA[Since 1980, the American photographer Thomas Roma (born 1950) has published eleven books of his photographs, compiled two limited-edition hand-bound volumes, and contributed his pictures to a variety of other publications. Columbia University’s Miriam and Ira D. Wallach Art Gallery begins 2010 with a rare opportunity to view exhibition prints from his published works in Pictures for Books: Photographs by Thomas Roma organized by Susan Kismaric, a curator in the Department of Photography at The Museum of Modern Art.

Thomas Roma is a native of Brooklyn, where he currently resides. Many of his photographs describe mundane life in the borough: neighborhood gardens, passengers riding the elevated subway train, facades of storefront churches and synagogues, religious services in small African-American churches, and portraits of people waiting in the corridors of Brooklyn’s criminal court. Viewed as a whole, Roma’s photographs are a chronicle of urban life as it is lived by ordinary residents, a description of their aspirations and hopes, and a record of their successes and failures. In several projects, he has extended his concerns to communities outside of New York, such as the landscape and life of people in small villages in his ancestral Sicily. In a recent project done in New Jersey, he photographed the houses of patients visited by the poet William Carlos Williams, when he worked as doctor in the 1950s. A member of the post–Garry Winogrand and Diane Arbus generation of American photographers, Roma extends the tradition of photography’s documentary aesthetic with pictures of great formal confidence to reveal what might be called, for lack of a better term, traditional values.

Thomas Roma has exhibited widely, both nationally and internationally, and his work is in numerous public and private collections. Twice the recipient of a Guggenheim fellowship, he is on the faculty in the Visual Arts Program in the School of the Arts at Columbia. The exhibition at the Miriam and Ira D. Wallach Art Gallery, comprises almost 100 photographs selected from four key publications: Found in Brooklyn, Sicilian Passage, Come Sunday, and, On Three Pillars: Torah, Worship, and the Practice of Loving Kindness – The Synagogues of Brooklyn. Vistors to the gallery have an opportunity to both view prints from several projects side by side and to view his rare, limited-edition, hand-bound books: Brooklyn Gardens and Sirius Studies.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[&quot;Dao,&quot; an ancient Chinese concept means &quot;way,&quot; &quot;path,&quot; or &quot;natural working of the universe.&quot; Daoists consider the Dao an original Oneness in things, an eternal underlying foundation of being from which the many parts of the universe continuously spring and into which they continuously return.
 
The state of the Dao in contemporary China is in disrepair and the artists in this exhibition explore the social, political and environmental changes of the new China - most notably, consumerism, pollution, and military expansion - as a means of restoring the balance. In this way they are fulfilling the ancient function of the artist in society.  Such ideas are inherent in the poetic renditions of the Daodejing ascribed to the hand of Laozi who lived around sixth century bce. This beloved work was as much a blueprint for a utopian society as a guide to self-perfection. Government, it explains, should not interfere in its citizens' life: left alone society will find a peaceful coexistence. Daoists presented copies of the text to emperors to enlighten them. Sometimes artists were the intermediaries, performing on behalf of the members of their community: Bedecked in flowers, shamans in ancient China sang songs, performed dances, and offered gifts to the gods to assure peace and prosperity. Daoists propose rejection of corrupt society and finding solace in nature.
 
Faced with the current situation in China, artists are reacquainting themselves with the great literature that was forbidden during the Cultural Revolution; they are amazed and delighted by it, and comforted that they are now able to have access to this special kind of wisdom couched in witty and poetic terms. Inspired by such ancient philosophical writings they draw upon these ideas to understand their world, and some artists today have even resumed their traditional function. They take up themes in their art that reflect the current situation in China; they are acting as intermediaries in the cause of the populace and trying to establish a society in harmony with the ancient principles.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[The Bronx River Art Center presents the third of its four-part exhibition series DIALECTS.  Working under the umbrella of local and international dialogue, research, and collaboration, local Bronx artists and international artists are paired together to create and present side-by-side solo exhibitions in BRAC's storefront gallery. 

DIALECTS v.3 presents new, site-specific works by Blanka Amezkua (Bronx, NY) and Dario Solman (Croatia) and is curated by BRAC's Gallery Director &amp; Curator, José Ruiz. The juxtaposition of these exhibitions heightens the contrast between two different types of artistic reasoning and process, while further focusing on the overlap of parallel concepts and concerns. On the surface, Blanka Amezkua's installation, Interminable recurrence in my mind, builds upon the organic, abstract, and handmade, to mine colorful aesthetic tendencies that present an alternate dimension to the works that she is primarily known for: the hyper-depiction of women as a character of power that evolve out of the pages of Mexican comic books and other popular paraphernalia. For this exhibition, the Mexican-born, Bronx-based artist unveils a new installation that highlights the various aesthetic motifs that have constantly paralleled her projects over the last fifteen years, so that the exhibition process exposes the often-private investigations that arise in her studio. Organic patterns painted on the wall, abstract crocheted compositions, and an extensive suite of doodles done on mail envelopes are just some of the elements of her installation. 

Dario Solman presents a selection from his ongoing project, The Heart of Perspective, the Making of the Film (2001-present), in order to construct digital narratives through a Post-Cold War lens. The artist's rigid, linear, black-and-white works are a combination of animations, drawings, and soundscapes that offer fragmental inquiries into issues of power, conformity, and individuality.  Setup as a non-linear &quot;film&quot; project, The Heart of Perspective transforms the formal art term perspective (a drawing technique used to create an illusion of three-dimensional space on a two-dimensional surface) to create a heightened sense of space and time based on psychological implications of existence and order. ]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Deirdre O'Connell is a self-taught artist whose recent work has drawn from characters and scenes in plays by Russian dramatist Anton Chekhov. An award-winning stage actress, O'Connell has played numerous Chekhov women and finds their motivations and behaviors layered and complex. The paintings are jewel-like, multi media creations made from collages of her own paintings and drawings. Rich, brilliant hues and intense detail give each work the luscious quality of an illuminated manuscript. 

Born in Japan, painter/printmaker Fumiko Toda lives in New York. Her artwork has an obsessive quality composed of intricate detail and repetition of form and pattern. Her paintings of butterflies, snakes and bugs are rendered with colors so vibrant as to appear as if they were ground from pure minerals or from the very insects themselves. Toda attributes her sense of design, space and line to her years in Japanese art schools, which emphasize such skills and craftsmanship. Toda counts as her artistic influences Odilon Redon and Jakuchu Ito.

  <Description><![CDATA[During the span of twelve years, a series of events, later hailed as the Civil Rights Movement, would forever change the social and political course of America. The Bronx Museum of the Arts will present two sweeping exhibitions that chronicle both these pivotal moments in the nation’s history and its legacy surveyed through the works of young African-African-American artists.

Road to Freedom: Photographs of the Civil Rights Movement, 1956–1968, will feature 150 vintage photographs; images that not only exposed rampant acts of discrimination in America’s past, but also revealed shinning glimpses of equality and unity amongst its citizens. Road to Freedom is the most comprehensive collection of photographic prints and related artifacts ever devoted to the subject and was organized by the High Museum of Art in Atlanta to commemorate the 40th anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s assassination.

Road to Freedom includes images by renowned photographers such as Bob Adelman, Bruce Davidson, Danny Lyon and Charles Moore; its oeuvre beginning with Rosa Parks’ refusal to surrender her seat aboard a Montgomery, Alabama bus in 1956 and culminating with the assassination of Dr. King in 1968. The exhibition also documents key events such as the Freedom Rides in 1961; the March on Washington in 1963; the hosings at the Kelly Ingram Park in Birmingham, Alabama the same year; and the Selma-to-Montgomery Voting March in 1965, which led to the signing of the Voting Rights Act by President Lyndon Johnson months later. These images highlight the heroes and leaders of the civil rights movement, figures such as Dr. King; Rosa Parks; Stokely Carmichael, leader of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC); voting rights activist Fannie Lou Hamer; John Lewis, chairman of SNCC who played a key role in ending segregation; and lesser-known individuals, who valiantly sacrificed their lives for liberty.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[During the span of twelve years, a series of events, later hailed as the Civil Rights Movement, would forever change the social and political course of America. The Bronx Museum of the Arts will present two sweeping exhibitions that chronicle both these pivotal moments in the nation’s history and its legacy surveyed through the works of young African-American artists.

As a complement to Road to Freedom, The Bronx Museum presents After 1968: Contemporary Artists and the Civil Rights Legacy. This smaller exhibition includes works from seven African-American, emerging artists and collectives—all born on or after 1968—who have created new work examining the heritage of the Civil Rights Movement and its affect on the lives of this new generation. They include Deborah Grant, Leslie Hewitt, Otabenga Jones and Associates, Adam Pendleton, Jefferson Pinder, Nadine Robinson and Hank Willis Thomas. Using the movement as inspiration, context or critique, these artists address their own personal understanding of race, identity, American violence, and political activism providing new perspectives on and discourse about this critical time in the history of the United States.

The artists’ diverse approaches include Deborah Grant’s 24 wood panels painted in red, collaged with images from the civil rights movement. By taking these images out of context and juxtaposing them, she creates a dialogue about the images, leading viewers to draw their own conclusions about the events. Hank Willis Thomas takes advertising images portraying African-Americans addressing the tension between commodity and race. Nadine Robinson offers a more personal and autobiographical approach through her sound pieces, emitting musical compositions of both black and white musical culture and often alluding to the 1963 hosings at Kelly Ingram Park by mixing sounds of rushing water with excerpts from protest speeches.]]></Description>
