  <Description><![CDATA[This exhibition of 77 works from the museum's collection will inaugurate the new Diker Pavilion for Native Arts and Cultures. Beauty Surrounds Us features an elaborate Quechua girl's dance outfit, a Northwest Coast chief's staff with carved animal figures and crest designs, Seminole turtle shell dance leggings, a conch shell trumpet from pre-Columbian Mexico, a Navajo saddle blanket, and an Inupiak (Eskimo) ivory cribbage board. The exhibition includes two interactive media stations, at which visitors may access in-depth descriptions of each object and, through virtual imaging technology, view and rotate a selection of the objects to examine them more closely.

  <Description><![CDATA[With a Single Step: Stories in the Making of America, MOCA’s new core exhibit, will bring to life the Museum’s unique historical content and birth a compelling art work by fusing itself with the architectural heart of its new home designed by Maya Lin on Centre Street.  Metaphorically and literally, this “heart” will ground visitors, and be the focal point of the “new MOCA experience.”  This presentation is an innovative approach to museum and exhibition design.  It will facilitate a new way of interacting with content: through the evocative use of space that stirs visitors’ emotion and breaks down barriers to deeper learning and understanding.

The core exhibition presents the diverse layers of the Chinese American experience while examining America’s journey as a nation of immigrants—from an historical overview of Chinese immigration to the United States, to the individual stories that reveal what it has meant to be Chinese in America at different moments in time, to the physical traces and images left behind by past generations for us to consider, reflect and reclaim.

A key element of the exhibition is its dialogue with Maya Lin’s architectural centerpiece – a sky lit courtyard at the heart of the museum. The exhibit wraps around and engages with the courtyard, which represents the idea of China – a collective origin, which for many after the first generation, becomes a constructed, rather than an actual, memory. Not unlike the rooms of a Chinese house, each section of the exhibit is connected to the courtyard via portals. Each one containing films of people narrating personal life stories, demonstrating how history is propelled by individual moments of decision-making in the face of circumstances larger than themselves. External walls dialogue with the inner, in order to provide the larger historical context for Chinese American struggles and achievements.

Thematically and chronologically, the exhibit reveals the complex layers of the Chinese American experience through six modules:

1) Go East! Go West!  examines how the flow and exchange of goods and people helped shape the formation of new identities, ideas, and perceptions of both Chinese and Americans during the 19th century.

2) America: Staking Claims explores the political climate in America leading up to the Chinese Exclusion Act, and its impact as the first federal law to restrict the immigration of a specific group based on nationality, defining in legal terms who could not “become American.”


3) Greetings from Chinatown shows how by the turn of the century, Chinatowns had sprung up in cities all across America forming an important economic and social network for Chinese Americans, as well as sites of cultural exchange in America’s urban centers.

4) Allies, Enemies? looks at how conflicts abroad dictated the fortunes of Chinese Americans at home.  While World War II brought about the eventual repeal of the Chinese Exclusion Act, China’s Communist revolution fueled Red Scare targeting of Chinese in America.

5) Seeds of Change presents the great shifts in Chinese American communities during the latter half of the 20th century. The landmark Immigration Reform of 1965 helped revitalize and diversify the Chinese population, and a second generation of Chinese Americans came of age in a time of cultural activism and community organizing.

6) Made in America!? explores how globalization has transformed American culture as much as the circulation of American culture has influenced peoples and nations outside the U.S., and while globalization promotes new and complex versions of national identity, it also creates conditions for expressions of ethnicity and identity politics.

  <Description><![CDATA[The Krappy Kamera® Show will feature images that have been produced using equipment from the low end of the technological scale. The concept underlying this show is that in the hands of an artist, any piece of equipment can be used to create engaging photographs. The Krappy camera category, which has included well-known names such as Diana, Holga and Lubitel as well as obscure junk-store finds and homemade pinhole jobs now adds cellphones and the like to the list. The March shows will include:

The National Juried Krappy Kamera Competition started in response to the tremendous number of photographers who were interested in the Gallery's Annual Krappy Kamera Show for its own members. With the competition now in its 12th year, 185 photographers from 37 states and 7 foreign countries submitted nearly 1,000 images. This year's juror was Daile Kaplan, Vice President &amp; Director, Photographs, Swann Auction Galleries. After she had finished the judging, Ms. Kaplan said:

As photographic practices continue to reflect advances in imaging technologies, fine art photography as we once knew it is being reinvented. Soho Photo's Krappy Kamera exhibition highlights 50 new pictures by artists and photographers whose personal visions are defining the distinct look of photography today. While some employed Dianas or Holgas-cameras that offer little technical control due to their plastic lenses and lack of focusing devices-others used iPhones. Although photography has always been inextricably linked with technique, now that notion seems more appropriate than ever.

The 2010 winners are:

Grand Prize Winner: Dan Burkholder, Palenville, NY; 1st Place: Karen Carson, Arroyo Grande, CA; 2nd Place: Michael Gonzales, Katy, TX; 3rd Place: Vaughn Wascovich, Commerce, TX; Honorable Mention: S. Gayle Stevens, Downers Grove, IL; Honorable Mention: Stephen Takacs, Portland, OR;

Honorable Mention: Tim Smith, Brooklyn, NY

More Krap downstairs . . .

The 17th Annual Members' Krappy Kamera Exhibition, featuring the work of 17 Gallery members, will be on display in our front gallery. They're a small group of Soho Photo's finest artists who have banded together to prove that the image is made by the photographer-not the camera. Point-and-shoot cameras and disposable cameras are too extravagant for this show-they are too easy to use. Their credo: a Krappy Kamera makes you work, serves as a reminder that the elements that create a photographic image-aperture, shutter speed, focus mechanism and exposure-can be masterfully controlled by trained hands.

And even more Krap upstairs. . .

Salon des Refusés-Krappy Kollage IV is a unique installation comprised of every non-winning image submitted to the 2010 competition-nearly 1,000 prints will be displayed, floor-to-ceiling, collage-style. As was the case last year, our competition coordinators (Sandra Carrion, Sarah Corbin, Larry Davis, Richard Gardner and Jeff Smith) were so impressed by the quality of work print entries that they wanted to share them with the photography community.

  <Description><![CDATA[Sounds from the Black Box, Kentridge’s most recent animation work and the latest in his long series of collaborations with South African composer Philip Miller. A follow-up to and expansion of the pair’s “9 Drawings for Projection” project, the piece combines Kentridge's stunning animations with scores by Miller, performed live by the NYC-based Ensemble Pi. 

The arts&gt;World Financial Center screenings will correspond with a Kentridge exhibit at the Museum of Modern Art (Feb 24–March 17) and a Kentridge-directed-and-designed production of Shostakovich’s The Nose at the Metropolitan Opera (March 5–25). Kentridge’s omnipresence prompted a recent New Yorker profile to observe, “It’s hard to remember when a visual artist has cut such a wide swath in the city’s cultural life, or spanned so many disciplines with such aplomb.”]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[James Fuentes LLC presents Book ends., featuring Ben Berlow, Marc Handelman, Matthew Higgs, Larissa Nowicki, Stephen G. Rhodes and Richard Wentworth. 
 
The exhibition will consist of work that dynamically employs printed books as art material.  As readers replace traditional books with digital formats, the dwindling reliance on the physical book form coupled with the simultaneous surplus of accumulating printed matter results in a crisis state for this millennial- aged tool.  The works in Book ends. explore the medium of the book, acting to preserve and amplify the inherent qualities that books possess.  The level of intervention ranges from direct appropriation from books in the work of Higgs, Berlow and Handelman, to assemblage-oriented works by Rhodes and Wenworth, and finally to elaborate “weavings” by Nowicki, who intertwines shredded book pages to fracture and re-arrange meanings.

  <Description><![CDATA[Anti-Prow is a project by Prow – the collaborative duo Peter Rostovsky and Olav Westphalen – that addresses fantasies of empowered authorship and rational control in the creative process. Taking the artist’s manifesto as a starting point, Prow presents a series of hand-drawn portraits, sculptural assemblage, and wallpapered collage that test the boundaries of both self-proclaimed definition and open-ended experimentation, as realized by Anti-Prow’s contrasting collaborative process. Anti-Prow investigates the contradictions, doubts and folly that accompany any moment of artistic proclamation (or collective action), but that are almost always repressed in the stultifying performance of seriousness that constitutes a finished and professional artistic practice.

Running concurrently with Anti-Prow is The Prequel, on view at Sara Meltzer Gallery January 22 -February 27, 2010. The Prequel is the first solo exhibition of PROW in a commercial setting, and Anti-Prow was developed for Art in General specifically to counter the Sara Meltzer Gallery presentation, a context in which PROW is operating according to the objective of a commercial enterprise. PROW proposes that contemporary art practice has become a province of the entertainment industry and so is structured like an independent movie studio, collectively producing various types of spectacle but without hierarchy.

  <Description><![CDATA[“Double-Bill” is a group exhibition curated by New Commissions artist Redmond Entwistle that includes his new film Monuments along with works by Mary Billyou, Suzanne Goldenberg, Rafael Sánchez, and Kathleen White.

Starting with Monuments, a retelling of Post-Minimalism’s relationship to the landscapes of New York and New Jersey, “Double-Bill” brings together a series of works that share B-cinema’s ethics of independent production and it’s achievement of magical and critical effects through minimal means. Echoing the format of self-organized cinema spaces, a temporary cinema will be assembled in the gallery featuring twice-daily screenings of Monuments. Beyond the removed fourth wall of the cinema space, Billyou’s text paintings, Goldenberg’s delicate paper-and-fabric constructions and drawings, and Sánchez and White’s long-running, situational project BOOKS RECORDS TAPES reflect and refract concerns raised by Monuments’ exploration of the legacies of Robert Smithson, Gordon Matta-Clark, and Dan Graham. In considering the uneasy relationship between artists’ intentions – both aesthetic and conceptual – and social realities, “Double Bill” complicates traditional conceptions of artistic communities, their milieus and the social context out of which they emerge.

Monuments will be screened daily at 1 and 4:30 pm.

  <Description><![CDATA[Presented in Chapter III of Here &amp; Now: Chinese Artists in New York, Towards Transculturalism includes 4 artists of Chinese descent who endeavor to be part of the transculturalism trend in the era of globalization. Working in varied medium and style, the four featured artists, Emily Cheng, Hung-Chih Peng, YoYo Xiao and Shen Chen share interest in using universal language in their art creations. Although they all have more or less connections with the Chinese art tradition, they pursue methods that are understandable and acceptable to a larger audience on the international level.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Ink is the medium that is possibly the most associated with the arts of China.  It has been one of the few constant threads in this ever-changing part of the world for thousands of years.  Since China’s first introductions to the styles, techniques and subjects of the outside world, their artists have had at an ever-expanding range of creative options.  From oils and photography, to performance and new media, China’s artists today are among the most diverse and innovative.  However, each contemporary Chinese artist, regardless of their preferred medium, has worked at some time with ink.  Sometimes ink and brush are used in a manner that is more directly linked to the China’s traditional techniques and styles, and sometimes these artists are pushing the boundaries and finding astounding and innovative new ways of working with this medium.  More often, though, Chinese artists are synthesizing the old and the new – mediums, styles, influences, messages – into experimental works that can be both powerful and beautiful.  Ground breaking and nostalgic at the same time.

In this group exhibition, we would like to showcase new ink work from some of today’s top Chinese artists in “Chinese Contemporary Art: Ink Explosion 2010”.  Featured in the show are works that speak of both the beautiful, traditional styles as well as exiting new directions.  

This show also marks new directions for Ethan Cohen Fine Arts.  We will be holding this show in our NEW LOCATION of 14 Jay Street, in Tribeca.  Over the next month, we will be continuing to move our gallery to this new space located just a few doors East of our current location, 18 Jay Street.  ]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[In a short video created for Art in General’s elevator, Judith Hoffman mines stereotypes of the female artist to unveil the struggles of marginalized creative communities. Through the presentation of a cross section of Hoffman’s own artistic colleagues, the artist probes the uneasy balance between individuation and acceptance in the pursuit of recognition.

  <Description><![CDATA[For Distant Drum Polish Resident Artist Lukasz Jastrubczak draws on the feeling of deja vu he has experienced exploring the New York cityscape—familiar through movies and television—for the first time. Jastrubczak explores this sense of disconnect in time and space through a series of illusions undermined as the artist reveals the methods of their creation, like a sad magician.

Lukasz Jastrubczak is a multimedia artist who observes his surrounding reality through the filter of culture – often through classic and cult movies, television and pop-culture. He inserts discreet actions into ordinary situations, playfully subverting our perceptions of the line between fiction and reality. Jastrubczak records these vignettes through video, photography, sound and drawing, mimicking in his installations the disconcerting experience of the passerby who stumbles across his public interventions. His work has been exhibited at venues including the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw, Gallery Taik as part of the Berlin Biennale, the OFF Festival in Myslowice (Poland), the Centre for Contemporary Arts Ujazdowki Castle in Warsaw, the Polish National Museum in Zielona Gora, and the main railway station in Ankara, Turkey.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Salon 2B presents &quot;The Works of Pistol &amp; CoCo144,&quot; the legendary graffiti artists' first collaborative exhibition at the gallery.

Lonnie Heller, Pistol, is celebrated as one of the legendary pioneers of NYC subway graffiti.  His revolutionary style was widely documented by artists such as Gordon Matta-Clark, and has had a huge impact on future generations of graffiti artists.  Pistol's work was recently featured at the Cartier Foundation's Paris exhibit about the history of Graffiti.

Roberto Gualtieri, CoCo144, was one of the first generation of subway writers in the early 1970's.  A founder of United Graffiti Artists, he helped to bring the aerosol culture into the gallery and museum world through widely exhibited works on canvas and other constructive materials.  CoCo144's work &quot;reflects a modern form of expression, a language, a system of communication, a technology with a branch of knowledge dealing with life, society, and the environment&quot;

A portion of the sales from the Opening Night Reception will benefit relief efforts in Haiti, and a collaborative piece by the two artists will be available for auction.
