  <Description><![CDATA[&quot;Folk Art Revealed,&quot; opened on November 16, 2004. The exhibition explores the nature of folk art through four themes applied to a diverse range of artwork from the museum's rich and extensive holdings, many of which have never before been on view.  These four perspectives: symbolism, utility, individuality, and community-- infuse all of folk art and speak to essential aspects of both traditional and unconventional expressions. Spanning the 18th century to the present, the works selected by curators Stacy C. Hollander and Brooke Davis Anderson, invite a deeper understanding of folk art and its role in people's lives.

  <Description><![CDATA[Joseph Beuys (1921–1986) is widely understood to be the most important German artist of the post–World War II period. Highly provocative and always controversial, he and his peers reinvented a thriving avant-garde after the long period of Nazi repression. His influence is comparable to that of the American artist Andy Warhol, but whereas Warhol's work features a style and imagery that is readily accessible, Beuys intentionally devised a challenging formal vocabulary, layered with meaning and metaphor. In Beuys's theory of sculpture, the process of transformation is paramount. The changeable nature of fat and felt, his signature materials, mirror this interest. As they are heated and cooled they shift from form to chaos and back again.  The centerpiece of the gallery is a new acquisition: a set of five vitrines accompanied by two wall objects, constituting a mini-museum of works made between 1948 and 1982.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[The REAL Winnie-the-Pooh won't be found on a video, in a movie, on a T-shirt or a lunchbox. Since 1987, the REAL Pooh and four of his best friends--Eeyore, Piglet, Kanga, and Tigger--have been living at The New York Public Library. Long before Walt Disney turned Pooh and his pals into movie stars, Christopher Robin Milne, a very real little boy living in England, received a small stuffed bear on his first birthday. He named him Edward Bear (later renamed Winnie-the-Pooh). Following Edward came the rest of the stuffed animals, which Christopher loved and played with throughout his childhood. One day, Christopher's father, A.A. Milne, and an artist named Ernest H. Shepard, decided that these animals, and two other imaginary friends, Owl and Rabbit, would make fine characters in a bedtime story. From that day on, Pooh and his friends have had many fanciful adventures, from Piglet's encounter with a Heffalump to Eeyore's loss of his tail. These stories have been embraced by millions of children and adult readers for more than 70 years.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[It is commonly assumed that contemporary self-taught artists work solely in a representational style, eager to engage in storytelling and personal memory. But while the narrative tradition often is a primary impulse, a significant number exhibit a tendency to be seduced by material, technique, color, form, line, and texture, creating artwork that omits or obscures representation. &quot;Approaching Abstraction&quot; highlights the work of more than forty of these artists and includes European art brut masters, such as Aloise Corbaz, Rafael Lonne, and Adolf Wolfli; self-taught artists from the American South, such as Thornton Dial Sr., Bessie Harvey, J.B. Murry, and Purvis Young; and lesser-known artists, such as Johnny Culver, Hiroyuki Doi, and Melvin Way. This first exploration into nonobjective expression within this field is selected entirely from the museum's permanent collection.

  <Description><![CDATA[September 2009 marks 400 years since Henry Hudson sailed into New York Harbor and up the Hudson River, almost to what is now Albany, performing detailed reconnaissance of the Hudson Valley region. Other explorers passed by the outwardly hidden harbor, but did not linger long enough to fully realize the commercial, nautical, strategic, or colonial value of the region. Once the explorers returned to Europe, their strategic information was passed on to authorities. Some data was kept secret, but much was handed over to map makers, engraved on copper, printed on handmade paper, distributed to individuals and coffee-houses (the news centers of the day), and pored over by dreamers, investors, and potential settlers in the “new land.” &quot;Mapping New York's Shoreline&quot; celebrates the Dutch accomplishments in the New York City region, especially along the waterways forming its urban watershed, from the Connecticut River and Long Island Sound to the North (or Hudson) River and the South (or Delaware) River. Inspired by The New York Public Library's collection of Dutch, English, and early American mapping of the Atlantic Coastal regions, this exhibition exemplifies the best early and growing knowledge of the unknown shores along our neighboring rivers, bays, sounds, and harbors. From the earliest mapping reflecting Verazzano's brief visit to gloriously decorative Dutch charting of the Atlantic and New Netherland, illustrating their knowledge of the trading opportunity Hudson's exploration revealed, the antiquarian maps tell the story from a centuries-old perspective. We are brought up to date with maps and text exploring growing environmental concern for this harbor, and the river that continuously enriches it. From paper maps to vapor maps, those created with computer technology, the story of New York Harbor in its 400th year is told.

  <Description><![CDATA[This performance retrospective traces the prolific career of Marina Abramović (Yugoslavian, b. 1946) with approximately fifty works spanning over three decades of her early interventions and sound pieces, video works, installations, photographs, solo performances, and collaborative performances made with Ulay (Uwe Laysiepen). In an endeavor to transmit the presence of the artist and make her historical performances accessible to a larger audience, the exhibition includes the first live re-performances of Abramović’s works by other people ever to be undertaken in a museum setting. In addition, a new, original work performed by Abramović will mark the longest duration of time that she has performed a single solo piece. All performances, one of which involves viewer participation, will take place throughout the entire duration of the exhibition, starting before the Museum opens each day and continuing until after it closes, to allow visitors to experience the timelessness of the works. A chronological installation of Abramović’s work will be included in The Joan and Preston Robert Tisch Gallery on the sixth floor of the Museum, revealing different modes of representing, documenting, and exhibiting her ephemeral, time-based, and media-based works.

  <Description><![CDATA[Commemorating the 250th anniversary of Candide, this dynamic exhibition explores the legacy of Voltaire’s famous satire as a history of public reading, reflecting the many diverse ways in which a public consumes a book and transforms it. Featuring all 17 of the known 1759 editions of Candide, the exhibition also showcases works influenced or inspired by Candide; illustrated editions of the book; materials relating to the 1956 Broadway musical adaptation of Candide; and contemporary translations and adaptations of the book into modern dance, film, and graphic novel.

  <Description><![CDATA[A director of fables, fairy tales, and fantasies, with an aesthetic that incorporates the Gothic, the Grand Guignol, and German Expressionism, Tim Burton has created a body of films—fourteen features released over two and a half decades thus far—that reveal an uncompromised auteurist vision. Burton’s striking visuals and indelible characters make even his blockbuster studio films intimately personal. From adaptations to musicals to stop-motion animated films, his work bears a distinctive, unmistakable point-of-view, and his unique interpretations of well-known comic and literary characters, real-life personalities, and beloved childhood icons have resulted in creations that sometimes surpass their sources. Along with his frequent collaborators—including actors Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter, composer Danny Elfman, production designer Rick Heinrichs, and costume designer Colleen Atwood—Burton has crafted a new canon of beloved characters, from Edward Scissorhands and Beetlejuice to Jack Skellington and the Corpse Bride.

  <Description><![CDATA[Inspired by a trip the artist took to India, Joan Jonas’s Mirage (1976/2005) was originally conceived as a 1976 performance for the screening room of New York’s Anthology Film Archives. In it, Jonas carried out a series of movements, such as running as a form of percussion and as gestural drawing, while interacting with a variety of sculptural components and video projections. In 1994, the artist repurposed these elements—metal cones suggesting the form of volcanoes, videos of erupting volcanoes, wooden hoops, a mask, photographs, and chalkboards, among other items—as a discrete installation, which was itself reconfigured in 2005. At MoMA, the artist once again reimagines the work in an installation that combines elements of ritual, memory, repetition, and rehearsal with games, drawn actions, and syncopated rhythms.

  <Description><![CDATA[The first major exhibition of Viola Frey's work since her death in 2004 will feature Frey's colossal clay figures, sculptures, ceramic plates as well as a selection of her paintings and works on paper. Frey emerged in the complex and often contradictory art world of the 1950's, where painting, craft (specifically ceramics), and design often merged and diverged in dynamic ways. Coming from abstract expressionist traditions in the 1950s, she became involved in ceramics as her contemporaries Peter Voulkos and Robert Arneson were taking this medium to new sculptural and expressive horizons. Frey found her unique style and visual vocabulary in her life-long fascination with mass-produced ceramics figurines which she collected in flea markets combining molded and actual versions of these elements in what are known as her &quot;bricolage&quot; sculptures. Frey recounted her own life, as well as late-twentieth century culture, through her art. She is a forerunner in self-revelation by creating sculptures and vignettes based on her own personal relationships, recollections and the people she knew. &quot;Frey is best known for her brilliantly colored, literally larger-than-life ceramic figures of domineering men and over-wrought women,&quot; notes Sims. &quot;Not only does Frey reveal her early involvement in painting in the dynamic color glazes of the surfaces of these ceramic sculptures, but she also proves to be a perceptive observer of gender and power issues as they specifically played out in mid-twentieth century America.&quot;

  <Description><![CDATA[This major career retrospective on Tim Burton consisting of a gallery exhibition and a film series, considers Burton's career as a director, producer, writer, and concept artist for live-action and animated films, along with his work as a fiction writer, photographer and illustrator. Following the current of his visual imagination from his earliest childhood drawing through his mature work, the exhibition presents artwork generated during the conception and production of his films, and highlights a number of unrealized projects and never-before-seen pieces, as well as student art, his earliest non-professional films, and examples of his work as a storyteller and graphic artist for non-film projects. The opposing themes of adolescence and adulthood, and the elements of sentiment, cynicism, and humor inform his work in a variety of mediums—drawings, paintings, storyboards, digital and moving-image formats, puppets and maquettes, props, costumes, ephemera, sketchbooks, and cartoons. Taking inspiration from sources in pop culture, Burton has reinvented Hollywood genre filmmaking as a spiritual experience, influencing a generation of young artists working in film, video, and graphics.

  <Description><![CDATA[The notion of  &quot;setting&quot; is a theme that is an integral part of the folk art of America. There is a long tradition of depicting places—from domestic interiors and sites of work and leisure to country landscapes, city scenes, biblical or spiritual settings, and dreamscapes—that reflects many different spaces and communities. The selection of artworks, presented on the fifth floor, highlights the theme of place. Organized by the Education Department, this collection-based exhibition reveals the richness and diversity of American folk art. It includes twenty-nine artworks that offer snapshots of American life in different time periods by artists as varied as Winthrop Chandler, Henry Darger, Ralph Fasanella, William Hawkins, Harry Lieberman, Jacob Maentel, and Edgar Tolson.

  <Description><![CDATA[The Museum of Modern Art presents an installation that will, for the first time since the Museum's reopening in 2004, feature the full group of Claude Monet's late paintings in the collection. These include a mural-sized triptych &quot;Water Lilies, 1914–26&quot; and a single-panel painting of the water lilies in the Japanese-style pond that Monet cultivated on his property in Giverny, France &quot;Water Lilies, 1914–26,&quot; as well as &quot;The Japanese Footbridge&quot; (c. 1920–22) and &quot;Agapanthus&quot; (1914–26), depicting the majestic plants in the pond's vicinity. These paintings have long held a special status with the Museum's audiences and, much like MoMA's Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Sculpture Garden, they provide a modern oasis in the center of midtown Manhattan. These works will be complemented by two loans of closely related paintings.

  <Description><![CDATA[&quot;Slash&quot; explores the international phenomenon of cut paper in contemporary art- showcasing the work of artists who reach beyond the traditional role of paper as a neutral surface to consider its potential as a medium for provocative, expressive, and visually striking sculpture, installation, and video animation. &quot;Slash&quot; features work by approximately 50 contemporary artists from sixteen countries, and will also feature 12 new site-specific commissions and installations. Visitors will be able to watch the creative process during the first week of the exhibition, as select artists create new commissions in MAD's open studios and assemble and install their work in the galleries.

At the center of the exhibition will be the physical and digital models and drawings produced by the four teams, whose members will also be involved in designing the exhibition with members of MoMA’s Department of Exhibition Design and Production.  The exhibition, therefore, not only will present innovative work for design interventions in the New York/New Jersey harbor and estuaries, but also will contribute a new model of exhibition with public participation in every level from the workshop through to the final exposition. Included in the exhibition will be designs for soft infrastructure solutions for a site that encompasses Lower Manhattan, by Adam Yarinsky, Principal at Architecture Research Office (ARO), who worked on the Palisade Bay research study with Guy Nordenson and Catherine Seavitt. &quot;The Rising Currents&quot; exhibition inaugurates a new series of Architecture and Design exhibitions at MoMA called &quot;Issues in Contemporary Architecture,&quot; which will focus on timely topics in contemporary architecture with an emphasis on the urban dimension in order to increase public dialogue around seminal issues in architecture.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Grytting works from the basic, primal language of mark-making to create drawings filled with organic lines. Each line is drawn following certain self-imposed rules; left to right, top to bottom. Some lines will make it all the way; some end where the pencil-point breaks.  Irregularities in the paper force others into unexpected paths.  As a result, there is a rhythm, a pulse in the work as emotions and insights are drawn out onto the paper.  This layering of marks represents a meditation about time and human sedimentation.

  <Description><![CDATA[Greenberg Van Doren Gallery presents passa tempo, an exhibition of sculptural installations by New York-based Brazilian artist Valeska Soares, from February 18 – March 20, 2010.  The exhibition is concurrently on view with a large-scale installation, titled &quot;Vaga Lume,&quot; on view at Eleven Rivington, NY, from February 28 - April 10, 2010. Included in passa tempo are three recent works which address the often complex relationship between how we perceive, experience, and record time, and how this plays out in our collective / individual memory.  Soares uses found and collected objects such as book pages and domestic items in these new sculptures and installations re-casting their individual past identities and subverting their original use.  Installed as the centerpiece of the exhibition under the gallery’s skylight is Un-rest comprised of over 100 footstools in every shape and form and from different periods, from the 1800s on, arranged from the vantage point of a single glass chair.  Another assemblage appropriates old and rare wooden boxes that have inlayed tops picturing native Brazilian scenes.  Soares repurposes these landscapes and installs them as a single extended line with a shared horizon, synthesizing their specific singular uses as cigar boxes, sewing kits, and keepsake holders into an idealized collective panorama. horizontes relates to another work, timeline, which is entirely made of pages from found and discarded books strung along a wire that connects two adjacent walls of the front gallery. Each page has a phrase connoting the passing of time which is one of the meanings of the word passa tempo.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[In the 1920s and 1930s, the so-called New Typography movement brought graphics and information design to the forefront of the artistic avant-garde in Central Europe. Rejecting traditional arrangement of type in symmetrical columns, modernist designers organized the printed page or poster as a blank field in which blocks of type and illustration (frequently photomontage) could be arranged in harmonious, strikingly asymmetrical compositions. Taking his lead from currents in Soviet Russia and at the Weimar Bauhaus, the designer Jan Tschichold codified the movement with accessible guidelines in his landmark book Die Neue Typographie (1928). Almost overnight, typographers and printers adapted this way of working for a huge range of printed matter, from business cards and brochures to magazines, books, and advertisements. This installation of posters and numerous small-scale works is drawn from MoMA’s rich collection of Soviet Russian, German, Dutch, and Czechoslovakian graphics. They represent material from Tschichold’s own collection, which supported his teaching and publication from around 1927 to 1937.

  <Description><![CDATA[Collectors Daniel and Serga Nadler have assembled a unique collection of silver jewelry from around the world, including massive neck ornaments, anklets, bracelets, complex earrings, and a wide variety of brooches and fibulae. Portable Treasuries: Silver Jewelry from the Nadler Collection, on view from February 16 to August 8, 2010, showcases selections from the Nadler Collection. The exhibition will present approximately 150 works, from North Africa, the Indian Subcontinent, and the hill tribes of Southeast Asia. This marks the inaugural exhibition of the Nadler Collection, which was generously donated as a promised gift to the Museum of Arts and Design. The jewelry is beautifully crafted, and sadly is in diminishing supply; over the years, many works have been melted down for their silver.

&quot;We started collecting silver jewelry as a lark, and over the years this has grown into a passion,&quot; states Daniel Nadler. &quot;For centuries the jewelry a woman wore was a display of her family's wealth and status. It also represented concrete value, since it could be pawned or sold in lean times. In many cultures, if a woman was rejected by her husband, her apparel including jewelry provided her alimony or compensation. To Serga and me, the attraction of these pieces, created by anonymous craftsmen, is the artistic merit of their works.&quot;

  <Description><![CDATA[A leading figure in contemporary Chinese art, Yin Xiuzhen has worked primarily in site-specific installation and sculpture since the early 1990s. Her work addresses issues on both an environmental scale and a personal one, and often employs quotidian materials, including found textiles. Projects 92 presents her large-scale sculpture &quot;Collective Subconscious,&quot; which is composed of a bisected minivan connected by a long tube covered in a quilt made of found garments. The public is welcomed inside this transformed conveyance, where they will find a cozy refuge complete with low stools and soft pop music— a space that invites visitors to break the silence of the hushed gallery, reinventing it as a place for conversation and discussion.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Parsons's career as a legendary art dealer who represented many of the important avant-garde artists of the mid-twentieth century has often overshadowed a consideration of her own art. This oversight has been remedied in the last decade and a half when several exhibitions and publications have been devoted to Parsons's oeuvre, revealing its originality and her distinctive artistic voice. The present exhibition focuses on a particular facet of Parsons's work, the relationship of her paintings and sculptures to her travels in America and abroad.

  <Description><![CDATA[To celebrate the recent acquisition of newly struck prints of thirty-six films by Frederick Wiseman (b. 1930, Boston), The Museum of Modern Art presents a comprehensive retrospective of the director’s work. Featuring three to four films each month, this yearlong survey opens with &quot;Basic Training&quot; (1971), followed by a conversation with Wiseman and curator Josh Siegel, and spans his entire career, from &quot;Titicut Follies&quot; (1967) to his two most recent projects, &quot;La Danse—The Paris Opera Ballet&quot; (2009) and &quot;Boxing Gym&quot; (2010). For more than four decades, Wiseman has used a lightweight 16mm camera and portable sound equipment to study human behavior in all its contradictory and unpredictable manifestations, particularly in institutional or regimented situations where authority creates an imbalance of power, or where democracy is at work. Like the great novelists of the nineteenth century, Wiseman combines epic narrative with intimate portraiture. His films comprise a grand panorama of American life (and more recently, the cultural life of Paris)—a kind of modern-day comédie humaine that, quite astonishingly, never loses its vitality or its currency. And though Wiseman approaches his subjects—doctors, ballet dancers, soldiers, students, welfare recipients, factory workers, fashion models, zookeepers, victims of domestic violence, Benedictine monks, the terminally ill—with a minimum of intrusion or influence, he brings a sensitive but trustworthy eye, a lawyer’s penetrating skepticism, and the dramatic impulses of a storyteller to arrive at what Eugène Ionesco, one of his favorite playwrights, called an “imaginative truth.” All films are directed, edited, and produced by Wiseman and from the U.S.

  <Description><![CDATA[Throughout history, mythologies have provided explanations for humankind’s existential surroundings through collective beliefs and shared verbal and visual narratives. Representational visual artists have long looked to ancient mythologies as a thematic repertoire, a tradition both preserved and evolved by modern and contemporary artists who continue to address and reinterpret mythological references in their works. This exhibition addresses the artistic traces of these motifs in modern art, as well as the practice of modern myth-making, through a nonlinear, thematic representation of works, following a rough chronology from 1797 to 2008.

  <Description><![CDATA[&quot;Hyper&quot; refers to the new garish supermarkets in Paris and Rouen  where consumer goods, brightly packaged and presented, make for a vivid and contemporary backdrop for his pictures. Darzacq brings street dancers, mostly young men and women in their late teens and early twenties into these stores and asks them to perform their leaps, jumps, twirls, and other gravity-defying movements. Darzacq's working methods are wonderfully captured in a documentary film by Marie-Clotilde Chery. The photographs explore the tension between being and having, between the human body and the built environment. They offer a fresh, witty and intensely colorful commentary on global consumerism and freedom of spirit. Denis Darzacq’s photographs, taken in fractions of a second and not photoshopped, sit comfortably at the edge of traditional stop-action photography.

  <Description><![CDATA[Time– and, by extension, mortality– has been a prevailing theme of Bleckner’s work since he began exhibiting in the late 1970s.  With two distinct new series, Bleckner here focuses on physical and perceptual changes that result from even hourly progression. Both groups of works depict expanses of flowers that are profuse and brightly colored, yet deliquesced, scraped away, and abstracted until they become blurs of paint. Seven six-foot-square canvases integrate this floral imagery with the rough configuration of a clock face.  Demarcating the hours are bold numbers heavily veiled by layers of paint, or numbers subtly delineated within the brush strokes.  One work upends the traditional analog face with a succession of digital numbers that reverberate as if from accelerated movement. Large works on mounted photographic paper integrate the literal passing of time. In Rorschach-like formation, skeins of fragmented flowers painted on the surface react with the emulsion so that they seem to occupy a deep, unsettling and distinctive void between light and dark, positive and negative.

  <Description><![CDATA[Montreal based tattooist and painter David R. Choquette will be unveiling his first ever solo exhibition of paintings in New York City with approximately 15 brand new, never before seen paintings on display. David R. Choquette is a 29 year old Montreal based tattooist and painter. He's intrigued by the sense of discomfort that physical abnormalities cause. His portraits, often miniature, are aesthetic counter type to the popular standards. Obsessing over every square inch, he creates strange atmospheres where ugliness and beauty are hard to dissociate. With sharp details, he tries to communicate the sensibility of his inner world.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Focusing on the artist's vision of space, the exhibition will be comprised of three Endless House sculptures, several Galaxy paintings, three Grotto for Meditation models, as well as Kiesler's master drawing of Marcel Duchamp. Kiesler's vision of a biomorphic, freely flowing, continuous, human-centered living space, which he called the Endless House, dates back to 1922. It was to synthesize painting, sculpture, architecture, and the environment in order to establish a space, which was without a sense of boundaries. Kiesler continued to develop this theme in his architectural designs and sculptures until the end of his life. Describing his idea of the house, he stated that it was to be &quot;endless like the human body—there is no beginning and no end.&quot;

In the 1950s and 1960s, Kiesler worked on a series of paintings, which translated his vision of space into multi-paneled installations that protruded from the wall. Synthesizing painting, sculpture and drawing, the Galaxies are presented as grouped units. To Kiesler, the space between the different paintings was a reflection of the &quot;inner necessity&quot; of the work as a whole, explaining that it was the same as what &quot;breathing is to our body reality.&quot; If viewed from the side, the Galaxies assume a sculptural quality. In 1954, Kiesler wrote: &quot;the traditional division of the plastic arts, sculpture, and architecture, is transmuted and overcome and their fluid unification is now contained within rather than combined from without.&quot; 

The Grotto for Meditation was commissioned by Mrs. Jane Blaffer Owen in 1963 for New Harmony, Indiana. Though the structure was never built, drawings and models remain. As a center for meditation, the Grotto was to embody Kiesler's vision of a biormorphic, endless space, in which the human mind would be uninhibited. In addition, the designs reveal a highly developed symbolism: the space is depicted as a shell, alluding to the feminine body as well as to the Christian fish-motif. Kiesler envisioned the Grotto as a center of calm, surrounding it with water that would flow from within.

  <Description><![CDATA[Focusing on the 1960s, this multimedia exhibition will explore the cross-cultural relations between a number of European countries’ cinematography and fashion and their reception in modern US culture. In particular, the show will present for the first time archival materials such as photographs, costume sketches, interviews with stars, (Archivio San Biagio, Cesena and Roberto Palmas archive), Italian TV commercials from RAI, the Italian State Television company; as well as feature films by Federico Fellini (&quot;La Dolce Vita;&quot; &quot;8 1/2&quot;), Michelangelo Antonioni’s (&quot;L’Avventura,&quot; &quot;La Notte,&quot; &quot;Red Desert,&quot; &quot;Blow Up,&quot; &quot;Zabriskie Point&quot;), Jean Luc Godard (&quot;Breathless;&quot; &quot;Contempt&quot;), Luchino Visconti’s (&quot;Rocco and his Brothers&quot;), Pier Paolo Pasolini,(&quot;Accattone,&quot; &quot;Teorema&quot;), Elio Petri, (&quot;The 10th Victim&quot;), Ingmar Bergman (&quot;Persona&quot;); and clothing in the style of the period. The juxtaposition of this rich and diverse material along with film screenings will allow viewers to critically revisit one of the most important and innovative decades of the twentieth century. A symposium featuring internationally renowned scholars in the fields of film, art, and fashion such as Adriana Berselli, the costume designer who worked with Antonioni’s &quot;L’Avventura,&quot; will explore the multifaceted relationship between fashion and film and their impact on the construction and projection of personal and collective identities and style. Testifying to the enormous impact the 1960s and its aesthetics has had on contemporary culture is the popularity of a TV show such as &quot;Mad Men&quot; and recent feature films such as Lone Scherfig’s &quot;An Education&quot; or Tom Ford’s &quot;A Single Man,&quot; both set in the 1960s. 2010 will also mark the fiftieth anniversary of films such as &quot;La Dolce Vita&quot; by Federico Fellini and &quot;L’Avventura&quot; by Michelangelo Antonioni, &quot;Rocco and his Brothers,&quot; by Luchino Visconti and &quot;Breathless&quot; (Jean Luc Godard), which made known to the world and especially US audiences, Italian and European culture, style, and identity. The exhibition will, in fact, explore the European-US connection in cinema and fashion, two major industries that always feed off each other. The James Gallery's location on New York's major midtown thoroughfare, in a building that once housed the historic B. Altman Department store, makes it a perfect fit for this exhibition, which will explore the interactions between geographic spaces (cities and countries); public spaces, the street, the movie theatre, the department store, and private spaces through the viewing of films where clothes are in action. ]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[This is the first American museum exhibition devoted to the work of the reclusive and mysterious Czech photographer Miroslav Tichý. Now over eighty years old, Tichý is a stubbornly eccentric artist, known as much for his makeshift cardboard cameras as for his haunting and distorted images of women and landscapes, many of them taken surreptitiously. Tichý began photographing in the 1950s, in part as a political response to the social repressions of Czech communism. However, it is only in the past five years that his intensely private work has gained public attention. The exhibition, organized by ICP Chief Curator Brian Wallis, includes a number of Tichý's homemade cameras as well as approximately 100 of his photographs.

  <Description><![CDATA[This exhibition discusses the last two centuries of medieval Spanish history in the Crown of Aragon (the Kingdom of Aragon, the Kingdom of Valencia, and the region of Catalonia) from the vantage point of religious art, and demonstrates the documented cooperative relationship that existed between Christians and Jews who worked either independently or together to create art both for the Church and the Jewish community. Religious art was not created solely by members of the faith community it was intended to serve, but its production in the multi-cultural society of late medieval Spain was more complicated. Jewish and Christian artists worked together in ateliers producing both retablos (large multi-paneled altarpieces) as well as Latin and Hebrew manuscripts. Jews and conversos (Jews who had converted to Christianity) were painters and framers of retablos, while Christians illuminated the pages of Hebrew manuscripts.

  <Description><![CDATA[The exhibition is presented in conjunction with Bigger, Better, More: The Art of Viola Frey to give a sense of the lively era in which she was working. At the beginning of Viola Frey's career- the early 1950s, the art climate in California encouraged experimentation. Far removed from the New York art world and its hierarchical and conventional definitions of fine art, California artists were free to explore with more personal and artistic freedom. They created work which was informal and vibrant, introducing the concepts of Abstract Expressionism and Funk to the field of ceramics.

  <Description><![CDATA[As the title of the exhibition suggests, the show is designed to make visible a portion of the female anatomy that is generally considered taboo―too private and intimate for public display.  If shown at all, this part of a woman’s body is usually presented in an abject fashion, generally within the context of pornography, intended, in almost all cases, for the exclusive pleasure of men.  The goal of this exhibition is to remove these prurient connotations, implicit even in works of art, ever since the pudendum was prudishly covered by a fig leaf.  This gesture of false modesty, it should be noted, was devised and enforced entirely by men (not only in the case of classical sculpture, but also in the Bible, in which, immediately after their disobedience in the Garden of Eden, Adam and Eve cover their genitalia with fig leaves).  Indeed, until recently, virtually all depictions of the frontal nude female figure were made by men, but as this exhibition will demonstrate, that has changed dramatically in recent years. Inspiration for both the show and its catalogue came from Eve Ensler’s &quot;The Vagina Monologues,&quot; a stage play that premiered off-Broadway in 1996, and was followed by various productions throughout the world (it appeared as a book in 1998).  Ensler gave voice to countless women worldwide, honoring the complexity and mystery of their sexuality, basically encouraging them to consider their vaginas as powerful and expressive components of their physical selves, something not to be ashamed of, but to be proudly protected as an assertive and positive manifestation of their being.  The idea for this show came from realizing that there was no better group to give vision to this goal than artists, many of whom had already incorporated imagery of the vagina in their works.  Because of Ensler’s pioneering work in this field, the catalogue is dedicated to her, and proceeds from its sale shall be donated to V-Day, the organization she founded to end violence against women and girls throughout the world.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[&quot;Alan B. Stone and the Senses of Place&quot; is an intimate exhibition that explores photography, memory and some of the meanings associated with &quot;place.&quot; Guest curator and native Montrealer, David Deitcher, presents approximately 60 black-and-white photographs by the little-known, Montreal-based photographer, Alan B. Stone (1928–1992). Proceeding from the assumption that one knows one's past in part through pictures, Deitcher presents Stone's work as a case study by which to examine some of the ways in which people experience, use and are affected by photographs. A working photographer who practiced many photographic idioms, Stone's limited claim to fame stems from his vocation as a shrewd purveyor of beefcake—male pin-ups and physique photographs—which he produced, published and sold, beginning in 1953 under the name of the Mark One Studio. This exhibition combines a selection of these images with Stone's oblique, enigmatic pictures of Montreal and period newspaper articles to realize this exhibition's location of the place one associates with &quot;home&quot; at the confluence of time, space, history, politics, the law, memory and imagination.

  <Description><![CDATA[The gallery’s first exhibition in over a decade dedicated to the influence of surrealism on American figural and abstract art, spans two decades from 1931 to 1952, the exhibition features painting, drawing, sculpture, and collage by thirty-two artists. It offers a special opportunity to view the works of celebrated practitioners of American surrealism alongside those by artists not typically labeled surrealist, but whose beginnings are rooted in the movement. The broad scope of this group show enables the exhibition to explore the rich and seemingly divergent manifestations of surrealism in American art.

  <Description><![CDATA[Featuring more than eighty works drawn almost exclusively from the Morgan's exceptional collection of Italian drawings, Rome After Raphael illuminates artistic production in Rome from the Renaissance to the beginning of the Baroque—from approximately 1500 to 1600. The exhibition, the first in New York to focus solely on Roman Renaissance and Mannerist drawings, takes Raphael's art as its starting point and ends with the dawn of a new era, as seen in the innovations of Annibale Carracci. The show includes striking examples by great masters of the period, including Raphael, Michelangelo, and Parmigianino, among others. Also on exhibit are Giulio Clovio's sumptuous Farnese hours, the Codex Mellon— an architectural treatise on important Roman sites and projects, including Raphael's design for St. Peter's— and a magnificent gilt binding. Having recently undergone a thorough investigation of its technique and media, the Morgan's Raphael school painting, &quot;The Holy Family,&quot; will be on view as well. Numerous drawings in the exhibition are related to Roman projects and commissions, including elaborate schemes for fresco decorations of city palaces and rural villas, funerary chapels and altarpieces, and tapestry designs and views of newly discovered antiquities. The exhibition opens a window on the past to afford us a glimpse of the artistic sensibility and lavish patronage of the period.

  <Description><![CDATA[On view for the first time at the Museum, Ernesto Neto's &quot;Navedenga,&quot; is an important early example from an ongoing body of work. Since the late 1990s, Neto has been creating enveloping sculptural environments using translucent stretch fabric. &quot;Navedenga&quot; is a large-scale sculpture constructed from Lycra fabric, Styrofoam, and sand, and embedded with aromatic cloves. With its soft, sensuous surface, round, taut contours, and orbed appendages, &quot;Navedenga&quot; references and evokes the human body. Its material is pliant and responsive to touch, like human skin. Visitors are invited to enter the sculpture's hollow chamber and engage their visual, tactile, and olfactory senses. The form and the title of &quot;Navedenga&quot;—a neologism created by the artist that recalls the Portuguese word nave, or &quot;ship&quot;—suggest both a fantastical spacecraft and a protective womb. The work is part of a series of &quot;naves&quot; by Neto, which allude to journeys both intimate and expansive, feminine and masculine; they encompass a profusion of symbiotic oppositions. With this series, a major change took place within Neto's oeuvre. While his earlier work fits comfortably within the conventional boundaries of sculpture, these larger, quasi-architectural bodies meld ideas of sculpture and environment. Neto cites Brazilian artists of a generation preceding his, such as Lygia Clark and Helio Oiticica, as influences on his interest in reframing the role of the viewer.  Viewers of Neto's works are not passive spectators; rather, they are active participants in the work of art, and factors upon which the work's meaning rests.

  <Description><![CDATA[Chris Peters will soon be unveiling his first ever solo exhibition in New York City with 10 brand new, never before seen paintings on display. Chris Peters' paintings try to find the beauty in that uneasy twilight place between life and death, between reality and unreality, between hope and despair. The objects in the paintings draw from the classic symbolism of Vanitas still life and Catholic religious paintings; all refer to the cycle of life, death and the promise of resurrection.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[This exhibition is sponsored by the Japanese Consulate General in NY and Japan Overseas Educational Services.

There is something unintentionally hilarious and powerful in children’s pictures so that you think it hard to draw like them. However, these pictures are a reflection of the world itself in children’s eyes. In 1979, Japanese Children’s Society started with just 7 children in Manhattan. Since then, it has grown and currently has about 850 students including weekend school and after school students. Japanese Children’s Society marked its 30th anniversary this year. In celebration of it, we asked for essays and paintings from Japanese-learning children and children who are studying in Japanese from all over the world. The assigned theme of the “Statue of Liberty Art and Essay Contest” was “What do we want to take good care of?” What is most important for children nowadays? You are invited to see the selected winners which will be featured in our exhibit. Also on exhibit: “Ikuei Yume Karuta” in which the students of Japanese Children’s Society describe their dreams with Haiku and pictures.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[The exhibition investigates how local artists from a variety of backgrounds are placed in relation to the rest of the world. Seen through a global lens, this exhibition explores the multiple cultures that populate our general culture and how the local and national are inextricably linked to the global. This exhibition examines the tensions of uncontrollable forces that are dislocating our society to redefine a new civilization. The artworks reflect how the national contains global concerns, searching inside our culture to project our global position. This exhibition tells the story of those concerns and new ways in which we can order the chaos.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[This presentation of 31 vintage prints by the celebrated French photographer Eugène Atget (1857–1927) is drawn from the ICP permanent collection. Surrealists such as Man Ray were fascinated by Atget's images of dreamlike urban spaces. As this exhibition reveals, such photographs were part of a much larger body of work that reflected Atget's systematic documentation of the historic streets, buildings, and artifacts of Old Paris. This exhibition was organized by ICP Curator Christopher Phillips.

  <Description><![CDATA[For over 50 years Lois Dodd has maintained a loft studio on Second Street near the Bowery. In the late 1960s she turned her eyes out a West window, over a nineteenth century cemetery to the buildings and skyline beyond, and began to paint the view.  “Second Street Paintings” will present this series of ten paintings from 1967 – 1970 that range in size from 8 x 10 to 45 x 30 inches.  Also included will be three recent paintings depicting the same view from 2006 –2009. On this work the critic and artist John Goodrich writes:  “In this selection of paintings of views from her lower Manhattan home, the artist uncovers the inner character of every element in its tell-tale geometry and hue.  How do the broad planes of a sprawling brick building regard the day?  As crisp, terracotta-colored facets, starkly absorbent under midday sun, in one painting; in another, as rich, close-toned hues, thick with moisture after a snowfall; elsewhere, as a shadowy, distanced plane, on a day so foggy that only a foreground tree strikes a dark note.”

  <Description><![CDATA[Forum Gallery marks its fiftieth anniversary year by presenting an exhibition of paintings by the artist Gregory Gillespie (1936-2000), whom Forum represented from his first New York exhibition in 1966 until his untimely death, a suicide, in 2000. Gillespie, a unique and visionary artist, was never a part of any movement or school; in his work, he defied characterization. In large and small panel paintings and mixed media works, he constructed elaborately detailed fantasy landscapes, imaginary personal narratives, startling and memorable self-portraits, symbolist abstractions and trompe l’oeil still lifes throughout his career, moving back and forth among these stylistic choices with unpredictable frequency, unerring technique and uncanny brilliance. Forum Gallery’s 2010 exhibition will include paintings from each of the four decades of Gregory Gillespie’s career, acquired from private collections. Many of the works have been in the same collections since their original acquisition.

  <Description><![CDATA[&quot;Gaze&quot; explores photography's ability to capture both the literal and psychological space around a subject caught in a gaze. The photographs on view reveal the complex relationship between photographer and subject, and subsequently subject and viewer. As concessions are made on both sides o the camera, the portraits range from perplexingly distant to intimate and relatable. Each, however, requires the mediation of the viewer to unlock the psychology of the individual behind the gaze or decipher the photographer's intended reading of the portrait.

  <Description><![CDATA[On October 9, 1940, the Galerie St. Etienne opened an exhibition with the unassuming title, “What a Farmwife Painted.” It featured thirty-four relatively small paintings [checklist nos. 4-12] by an obscure self-taught artist, Anna Mary Robertson Moses, from Eagle Bridge in upstate New York. Mrs. Moses, who had recently celebrated her 80th birthday, declined to attend the show. October was a busy month on the farm, she said, and besides, she had already seen the pictures. In an early review of the exhibition, The New York Herald Tribune noted that the elderly artist was known locally as “Grandma Moses.” The name stuck, and the seeds of a lasting legend were sown...

  <Description><![CDATA[5:46 am, January 17, 1995. An earthquake with a magnitude of 7.2 originating from a point twenty kilometers below Awajishima Island in southern Hyogo Prefecture struck the city of Kobe and its vicinity. It shook the earth for a mere 15 seconds, enough to kill 5,000 people and destroy more than 100,000 homes and other structures. In the aftermath of the quake, the city caught fire, laying waste to an area of 1,043,000 square meters. Ryuji Miyamoto's photographs show Kobe as it was just after the earthquake.  Both in their overall aspect and in their finer details they give some idea of the magnitude of the force that assailed Kobe's buildings and of the way that whole districts were destroyed.  Frozen between their previous state of inactness and their soon to be complete demolition, Miyamoto gives us a look at the fallibility of the built form.

  <Description><![CDATA[An international art movement of the 1960s and 1970s, Fluxus— whose name was based on the Latin word flux, meaning constant flow or change— brought together artists working in music, poetry, film, theater, and the visual arts. The movement challenged the commodification of art and favored nontraditional modes of expression, such as collective performances, inexpensive publications, and unlimited editions of small objects. This special installation of posters, newspapers, Fluxus editions, films, and photographs celebrates the recent gift by Gilbert and Lila Silverman of their renowned Fluxus collection.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Babcock Galleries presents &quot;African Americans: Seeing and Seen, 1766 – 1916,&quot; an incisive overview of refined and controversial fine art and popular culture images of African Americans as artists and subjects. Bitter brutality and cruel caricature alternate with respectful revelations and positive portrayals of the status of African Americans.  It may be said that all portrayals become betrayals in revealing the motivations and prejudices of their creator, and the images in this exhibition offer telling insights into the prevailing notions of the period.   Each work is not only a signpost of the complex nature of our cultural forbearers, but also a harbinger of the ongoing struggle for equal rights in the United States. Tess Sol Schwab, Assistant Director at Babcock Galleries and curator of this exhibition, points out that African American history “…can be catalogued by the racist and derogatory images across the centuries that have mirrored popular views while at the same time shaping and reinforcing them.  Yet, sensitive portrayals of blacks by whites also exist alongside them, as well as inspiring and successful careers by African American artists.”  Noting the contradiction in a country’s founding ideal of “all men are created equal” being penned by a man who owned two hundred slaves, &quot;Seeing and Seen&quot; attempts to reveal the many layers that emerged from this complicated beginning.

  <Description><![CDATA[This will be Alexey Titarenko’s first major exhibition in New York that features his entire St. Petersburg series (1991-2009). The four underlying sequences, or movements– to borrow a term from the vocabulary of music, which features prominently in the artist's mind, are &quot;The City of Shadows,&quot; &quot;The Anonymous,&quot; &quot;The Light of Saint Petersburg&quot; and &quot;Unfinished Time.&quot; Like music, the expression of time is a presence in Titarenko's art, associated with literature and in particular, the works of Marcel Proust.

  <Description><![CDATA[Irving Penn’s unbroken stream of creative invention spanned seven decades and established an indelible standard of clarity, grace, wit, and elegance. The Museum of Modern Art has collected and exhibited his photographs since 1943, and in 1984 we were proud to present a retrospective organized by his friend John Szarkowski, then head of MoMA’s Department of Photography. A selection of Penn’s outstanding photographs from the Museum’s collection is presented as a tribute to this remarkable artist.

  <Description><![CDATA[This presentation takes Matthew Day Jackson’s print Metamorphosis as an inspiration to present new unique works on paper created by Golnar Adili, Shana Agid, Rachel Beach, Sandra Chi, Erin Diebboll, and Sadie Weis. Borrowing a phrase from Ralph Ellison’s Invisible Man for its title, &quot;out of the chaos and darkness…&quot; presents prints that investigate the ever-changing concept of the American Experience and the American Dream. Starting with Matthew Day Jackson’s artwork Metamorphosis, the artists in the exhibition use several printmaking mediums and a range of materials to address our complex connections to mythology, history, and society. Overall the exhibition conveys an overarching sense of transition and metamorphosis that characterize our current place in the world.

  <Description><![CDATA[Forum Gallery presents an exhibition of fifteen bold new drawings by Susan Hauptman. Hauptman’s highly refined drawings are difficult to categorize. Realistic and idealized, austere and playful, exposed and secretive: these incongruities keep her audience on their toes. Created in the four years since her last exhibition at Forum Gallery, the works in the current exhibition take Hauptman’s career-long exploration of the principles of drawing in charcoal one step further. The artist intends these works as studies on the basic structure of line, shading and tonality. The smooth surface of each drawing belies the subtle complexities of their composition: each gesture and object stands in for a part of the artist’s life. In each of these preternaturally realistic portraits the artist has chosen an unusual element to pair with her constant medium, charcoal: plastic charms affixed to the paper with encaustic encircle the artist’s larger-than-life neck in &quot;Self-Portrait (with charms),&quot; 2008, while feathers protrude from the picture plane and decorate her pointed hat in &quot;Self-Portrait (with feathers),&quot; 2007. Incorporating these objects gives the viewer a playful way to relate to each drawing and a shared knowledge with the artist.

  <Description><![CDATA[An artist of prominence in New York from the mid-1910s through the 1930s, Allen Tucker elicited inordinate respect from his peers for his integrity and broad-mindedness as well as for the creative versatility of his art, which critic Virgil Barker commended in 1928 for its “robust plentitude.” Including oils, and several watercolors, this exhibition showcases the variety and individuality of Tucker’s art, placing him within the unfolding of modernism in this country. Born in Brooklyn, Tucker studied architecture at Columbia University. In 1895, after working as a draftsman under Richard Morris Hunt, Tucker began his own architectural firm, with Alexis Reed McIlvane. About the same time, he also pursued his passion for art, studying at the Art Students League, where his mentor was John Twachtman. After McIlvane’s death in 1904, Tucker left architecture behind for painting. Spending summers abroad, mostly in France, he fraternized with other American artists, including Robert Henri, whose portrait he painted in the Brittany town of Concarneau. In 1908 he was among the first artists to show at the Whitney Studio Club, exhibiting with George Bellows, Jo Davidson, Henri, Ernest Lawson, and others. He played a significant role in the organization of the Armory Show of 1913, taking part in planning meetings and heading the Catalogue Committee. After the show, he was included in exhibitions at Montross Gallery, one of the first American galleries to respond positively to the new and innovative art. His first solo exhibitions were both in 1914, at Montross and the Memorial Art Gallery, Rochester. Tucker also served as unpaid advisor to Juliana Force, the curator of the Whitney Studio Club, the precursor to the Whitney Museum of American Art. When a memorial show of Tucker’s work was held at the Whitney in 1939, Force recalled Tucker as a man “whose faultless taste in art and inexhaustible sympathy with the problems of his fellow artists led to an association of many years, wherein his wisdom and understanding were of the greatest value in the development of those ideas which resulted in the formation of this museum.” Tucker was described similarly by his champion, Forbes Watson, art critic for the New York Evening Post and the New York World. Writing several articles and a book on Tucker, Watson unfailingly supported Tucker as an artist who fearlessly sought just the right means to express his personal and emotional responses to his subjects. This is borne out in both the diversity of Tucker’s subject matter and his willingness to change his stylistic handling from one work to the next. His admiration for the art of van Gogh, which led to his reputation as “the Vincent of America,” can be seen both in the rhythmic directness of his brushwork and in the way that his feelings drove his expression.

  <Description><![CDATA[This exhibition understands art in a very mundane sense as a source of solace. It is committed to the mildly intoxicating character of beauty and the inebriating quality of alcohol and embraces the baser genres of still life and decoration. The show comprises two perspectives. One addresses the topic of solace in a contemplative movement revolving around objects, video, and painting. The other focuses on the headier consolations of inebriation and intoxication. The exhibition at the Austrian Cultural Forum is supplemented by a series of performances and events taking place in different locations throughout the city, each bringing up a form of solace, be it meditative or delirious.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[The Hunter College Art Galleries are pleased to present Smoke+Mirrors/Shadows+Fog, an exhibition featuring 16 international artists whose use low-tech means to create astonishing and stirring illusions.  The intricate and elaborate works on view conjure deliberate deceptions (“smoke and mirrors”) and naturally occurring illusions (“shadows and fog”).  Although these works would seem to lend themselves to the digitized special effects and technology readily available today, this select group of artists tends to prefer age-old techniques such as trompe l’oeil painting, shadow play, and mirror anamorphosis. 

Several of the artists in Smoke+Mirrors/Shadows+Fog employ shadow, reflection, smoke, and even gravitational pull to create substantive permanent artworks.  For example, Jim Dingilian (whose latest works will be on view for the first time at the Hunter College/Times Square Gallery) captures smoke residue in empty liquor bottles and then uses Q-tips and toothpicks to draw detailed dimensional landscapes on the inside of the transparent glass.  Other artists included in the exhibition represent space, distance and dimensionality so convincingly that they seemingly dematerialize solid architecture (in a few cases the gallery walls themselves).  This phenomenon is epitomized in Sarah Oppenheimer’s site-specific installation—a custom-designed aperture fit directly into the gallery’s entrance wall which effectively distorts the depth of field so that the adjacent space appears flat, like a projected image.

  <Description><![CDATA[This exhibition celebrates the development of new styles and themes in American art during the 1930s and 1940s, a time when the American Scene movement evolved into a national art form that described and critiqued America's unique culture. To be accessible to all classes of Americans, realism was the language of the American Scene artists who fit into three distinct groups: Regionalists, Urban Realists, and Social Realists. This exhibition focuses exclusively on Regionalism, exploring the evolution of its style and content during the 1930s and 1940s.

  <Description><![CDATA[Featuring approximately one hundred works, this exhibition explores Picasso’s creative process through the medium of printmaking, tracing his development from the early years of the twentieth century, with depictions of itinerant circus performers in the Blue and Rose periods, to his discovery of Cubism. It follows his evolving artistic vision through decades of experimentation in etching, lithography, and linoleum cut, demonstrating how each technique inspired new directions in his work. The exhibition focuses on specific themes, showing how Picasso’s imagery went through a constant process of metamorphosis. Printmaking, in particular, allows this fundamental aspect of his art to become vividly clear, since various stages in building a composition can be documented. One series of lithographs shows Picasso progressing, step-by-step, from a realistic depiction of a bull to one that is completely abstracted into schematic lines. Other series reveal changing interpretations of the women in Picasso’s life, as they become the subject of his art and a catalytic force behind his creativity.

  <Description><![CDATA[This exhibition of eighteen manuscripts illuminated in the area of Flanders in the southern Netherlands (today part of Belgium) celebrates the variety of styles from the last great flowering of Flemish illumination during the fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries. All &quot;Books of Hours,&quot; the manuscripts provide intriguing iconographic and stylistic points of comparison with miniatures from the Hours of Catherine of Cleves. The Morgan's rich holdings of Flemish illumination comprise examples by the major illuminators of this prolific period encompassing the late Middle Ages and early Renaissance. Included will be works by Lieven van Lathem and Willem Vrelant, two artists who collaborated with and were influenced by the Master of Catherine of Cleves.

  <Description><![CDATA[Curated by Robert C. Morgan, &quot;A Spectrum Of Jewels&quot; will feature what Maslanka calls a 'Dodecaorthogonal Space Poem.' This type of 'mathematical poem' is constructed with twelve 'orthogonal space poems' arranged contiguously within a Cartesian coordinate system. Orthogonal space poems are always in the form of 'A' equals 'B' multiplied by 'C.' What is different in this new work is that one of the variables in each poem is a fabricated word whose meaning comes from the mathematical operation applied to the other two variables (words). The words were carefully chosen to point to a spectrum inspired by Zen teachings. Thus, the aesthetic value of the piece is derived from visualizing the meaning of all the concepts spread throughout the entire three dimensional space. 

The following statements are to help navigate the installation:
The yellow ball is the point of origin for the entire system. The green balls are points in space which represent the meaning of a concept which lies on one of the 'word axes.' A word axis is a one dimensional line drawn between two concepts in space. In a three dimensional space you may have three 'word axes.' The three word axes in this installation are &quot;Emptiness/Thinking,&quot; &quot;Existence/Non-existence,&quot; and &quot;Monasticism/Urbanity.&quot; The red balls are points in space to delineate the coordinate pairs for which the orthogonal space poem starts. The poem lies on the planer space that lies between the red ball, the two adjacent green balls and the yellow ball. For a better understanding of visualizing these poems you may want to Google &quot;verbogeometry&quot; and &quot;Orthogonal Space Poem.&quot;]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[&quot;The aim of this exhibition is to ask the viewer to re-examine the creative process and mental illness,&quot; said Sue Stoffel, curator, art historian, and museum specialist. A former trustee of the Brooklyn Museum and of Creative Time, a program that promotes art in public space, she works with numerous museum education departments in the New York area and raises new resources for inter-museum education collaborations. Continued Stoffel, &quot;Can and how does mental illness define the creative process? If we know beforehand that this is work by people with mental illness, does that change how we look at it? What happens if we mix in works by well-known photographers?&quot; Concluded Stoffel, &quot;In pairing the work of Fountain Gallery artists with that of established photographers of the 20th century, the viewer is asked to ‘see with artists' eyes'; thus the title: Eye of the Mind.&quot; Six Fountain Gallery member-artists whose work is defined by the use of a camera will be paired with established artists including Weegee, Lee Friedlander, Morton Bartlett, Richard Shaver, Ralph Eugene Meatyard, and Hans Bellmer. This pairing reflects the curator's wish to juxtapose similar visual images, so that the viewer sees what the artists saw as they focused their cameras. Reflection, urban grit, and solitude are all revealed.&quot;]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[This large-scale exhibition surveys nearly three decades of work by William Kentridge (b. 1955, South Africa), a remarkably versatile artist whose work combines the political with the poetic. Dealing with subjects as sobering as apartheid, colonialism, and totalitarianism, his work is often imbued with dreamy, lyrical undertones or comedic bits of self-deprecation that render his powerful messages both alluring and ambivalent. Best known for animated films based on charcoal drawings, he also works in prints, books, collage, sculpture, and the performing arts. This exhibition explores five primary themes in Kentridge’s art from the 1980s to the present, and underscores the interrelatedness of his mediums and disciplines, particularly through a selection of works from the Museum’s collection. Included are works related to the artist’s staging and design of Dmitri Shostakovich’s &quot;The Nose,&quot; which premieres at New York’s Metropolitan Opera in March 2010.

  <Description><![CDATA[&quot;Common Jive&quot; presents a spectrum of contemporary artists who summon up vernacular and traditional craft approaches in their art-making practice. Organized in a collaborative effort between curator Julie Fishkin, and artist Saya Woolfalk, the fifteen artists in the exhibition engage the dichotomy between communal pasts and the individual experience, intertwining them visually through the manipulation of common materials and re-examination of time-honored aesthetic practices. The work in the exhibition represents strategies of both the self-taught and formally trained. Rather than making a distinction between these tactics, &quot;Common Jive&quot; argues that these artists, presenting a resurgence of dedicated artistry combined with a concern for conceptual rigor, are part of a contemporary communal discourse.

  <Description><![CDATA[&quot;The Hours of Catherine of Cleves&quot; is the most important and lavish of all Dutch manuscripts as well as one of the most beautiful among the Morgan's collection. Commissioned by Catherine of Cleves around 1440 and illustrated by an artist known as the Master of Catherine of Cleves, the work is an illustrated prayer book containing devotions that Catherine would recite throughout the day. The manuscript's two volumes have been disbound for the exhibition, which features nearly a hundred miniatures. The manuscript is as rich in pictures as it is in prayers: it contains 157 (originally 168) miniatures that reveal colorful landscapes and detailed domestic interiors. In &quot;The Holy Family at Work,&quot; for example, Joseph planes a board and the Virgin Mary weaves while the infant Jesus takes his first steps in a walker. Throughout the miniatures are meticulously depicted buildings, textiles, furniture, jewelry, and even fish—painted over silver foil. Many miniatures comprise long elaborate cycles of iconographic and theological complexity. One such cycle includes eight miniatures detailing the legend of the True Cross. The exhibition also includes manuscripts illuminated by both predecessors and contemporaries of the Master of Catherine of Cleves, who is considered the finest as well as the most original illuminator of the northern Netherlands.

  <Description><![CDATA[Thrashing sea creatures, samurai warriors, and a giant, looming skeleton are among the distinguishing subjects of the brashest of Japan’s Ukiyo-e masters, Utagawa Kuniyoshi (1797–1861).

Graphic Heros,Magic Monsters marks the first major exhibition of Kuniyoshi’s work in the United States in nearly 30 years.  The vast majority of over 130 color-woodblock prints on display are from the Arthur R. Miller Collection, New York, generously loaned to Japan Society by the American Friends of The British Museum.

For the duration of the exhibition manga artist Hiroki Otsuka will be stationed in the gallery for about 20 hours a week, drawing his own manga inspired by Kuniyoshi’s story telling.

  <Description><![CDATA[The artist will transform the gallery space with nearly thirty paintings, measuring between 10&quot; to 30&quot; inches squared, and featuring a wide range of experimentation in materials and supports.

For more than five decades, Robert Ryman has been engaged in an ongoing experiment with painting. He constantly seeks to modify his approach, resisting the comfort of tendency and maintaining the freshness of an unchartered territory. From each experience Ryman gleans the variables for a revised proposition and the impetus to propel him towards his next move.
 
This encyclopedic exhibition presents a vast range of facility with the material properties of paint on a variety of supports used both individually and in conjunction with one another, including wood, MDF board, aluminum, and stretched cotton. One-third of the works on view are painted on Tyvek, an extremely thin industrial material composed of spunbonded Olefin. Although Tyvek has the appearance of paper, the material is deceivingly strong.   The artist approaches the new works with paints possessing varying properties, such as acrylic varnish, enamel, and epoxy, in addition to graphite and ink. Penciled grids float in and out of focus, sometimes obscured by paint, sometimes left uncovered.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[This exhibition features recent paintings and works on paper. &quot;Solastalgia,&quot; from the Latin solacium (comfort) and the Greek, algia (pain)— which is defined as “the pain experienced when there is recognition that the place where one resides and loves has had a negative transformation.  Weather it is due to a natural disaster, drought, fire and flood, or a human induced event, war, land-clearing and mining. It is a type of homesickness. There are no man made elements in the paintings of Nikki Lindts’.  The artist’s focus is on her figures in the natural environment.  They maneuver through beaches, mountains and forests, often scurrying, bent over or in very direct contact with the terrain. These small, punch-packing paintings are usually created in single sittings. Acrylic paint is sparely layered with large, gestural brush strokes, rendering blustery, nature-based scenes that look like dreams or memories. The acrylic paint is watered down looking almost like ink in the first layers of the paintings and often some of the first layers can be seen in parts of the final piece.  Ms. Lindt’s figures appeared to be worked out in detail but when looking closer you see they are painted in a very gestural manor.

  <Description><![CDATA[Paris was a city of fantasy and chance encounters for Surrealist artists of the 1920s and '30s. During this period of unprecedented social and cultural transformation, photography played a dramatic new role in both avant-garde practice and mass culture. In their works, photographers such as Jacques-André Boiffard, Brassaï, Ilse Bing, André Kertész, Germaine Krull, Dora Maar, and Man Ray used fragmentation, montage, unusual viewpoints, and various technical manipulations to expose the disjunctive and uncanny aspects of modern urban life. In &quot;Twilight Visions,&quot; guest curator Terry Lichtenstein has assembled over 150 photographs, films, books, periodicals, and Surrealist ephemera to show how real and imaginary versions of Paris were constructed through photographic images.

  <Description><![CDATA[The main idea of this exhibition is to link different artistic expressions, languages and backgrounds, thus illustrating the plurality of these artists. The most talented young Spanish Art will have an important platform on which to be promoted. &quot;Spain in the City&quot; aims to be like the New York metropolis, a plural and heterogeneous exhibition, where diverse artistic languages and ways of perceiving the same reality from different perspectives and sensibilities, come together in the same geographical starting point: the city of New York. Thus, the Spanish artists that take part in this exhibition represent somehow what this city is, but also their works bear witness to the remarkable creativity and excellent development of Spanish art beyond its borders. This exhibition will hold paintings of Pedro Barbeito, where he links digital image and painting, and Hugo Fontela, where a dead palm tree on a quiet beach is the central character. Itziar Barrio through installation, video and photography will make us think about our obsession to fit into society standards and uses new signs and symbols taken from marketing and publicity. The idea of space and how we perceive it, is related with Juanli Carrion’s photograph boxes and the works of Javier Martin de Frutos. Although their languages are very different, both describe the New York landscape. Verónica Peña and Anton Cabaleiro’s videos, narrate the personal perception of their lives and experiences in the city. Finally, Jacobo Castellano takes us to the places where he lived and found materials with which he made his bright pieces, opening a dialogue between them and the space around.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[&quot;Waterpod: Autonomy and Ecology,&quot; the sixth exhibition of the SEA (Social Envrionmental Aesthetics) program, is a survey of the Waterpod's five-month voyage around the boroughs of New York. It includes videos, photographs, relics, art works, journal entries, and ephemera that tell the story of this unusual public art project. &quot;The Waterpod&quot; was a floating, sculptural structure designed as a futuristic habitat and an experimental platform for assessing the design and efficacy of living systems fashioned to create an autonomous, fully functional marine shelter. A New York-based multinational team, led by founder and artistic director Mary Mattingly, drew upon the talents of artists, designers, builders, civic activists, scientists, environmentalists, and marine engineers to bring this cross-disciplinary collaboration to fruition in the waterways of New York City. During a global recession and within strict government guidelines, &quot;The Waterpod&quot; managed to achieve new ways of community outreach, resource sharing, and art creation. To fortify against the possibility of widespread climate change, desertification, overpopulation, and rising sea levels, &quot;The Waterpod&quot; offered a pathway to sustainable survival, mobility, and community building through a free, participatory project and event space that visited the five boroughs and Governors Island, for a voyage lasting from June to October 2009. &quot;The Waterpod’s&quot; mission has been to prepare, inform, and offer alternatives to current and future living spaces.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[The artist will present two multi-channel installations, &quot;The Torn First Pages,&quot; 2004-2008 and &quot;The Lightning Testimonies,&quot; 2007, both of which will have their New York premiere in this exhibition.

Born in 1964 in New Delhi where he lives and works, Kanwar has distinguished himself through films and multi-media works which explore the politics of power, violence, sexuality, and justice. His multi-layered installations originate in narratives often drawn from zones of conflict and are characterized by a distinctly poetic approach to the social and political. In retracing history through images, ritual objects, literature, poetry and song, Kanwar creates lyrical, meditative film essays that do not aim to represent trauma or political situations as much as to find ways through them. Kanwar's work looks deeply into the causes and effects and how they are translated into everyday life and cultural forms.

&quot;Imagine the formal presentation of poetry as evidence in a future war crimes tribunal. Imagine nineteen sheets of paper floating forever in the wind…&quot; -- Amar Kanwar, on &quot;The Torn First Pages&quot;

&quot;The Torn First Pages&quot; (2004-2008), a 19-channel film installation in three parts that will be on view in the North Gallery, is presented in honor of the Burmese bookshop owner Ko Than Htay who was imprisoned for 'tearing out the first page' of all books and journals he sold and which contained ideological slogans from the Burmese military dictatorship. The Torn First Pages is also an ode to the thousands engaged in the struggle for democracy in Burma, following the paths of Burmese activism in exile. The films directly, elliptically and metaphorically encounter resistance and the struggle for a democratic socity, contemporary forms of non violence, political exile, memory, and dislocation.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[The exhibition presents the internationally acclaimed collection of baskets and fiber sculpture has been assembled by Sara and David Lieberman over the course of three decades. With their passion for collecting contemporary craft and their exceptional openness to new forms and ideas, the Liebermans have assembled one of the best compilations of contemporary baskets in the country. &quot;Intertwined&quot; provides an international look at contemporary basket making, offering insight into the evolution of the basket from a useful object to a work of art and challenging the notion of what defines a basket. The exhibition includes more than 70 traditional and non-traditional baskets. The baskets utilize a range of materials and techniques from traditional organic to commercial and often surprising media. Beginning with early innovators in the fields, the Lieberman collection features works by American artists, Japanese bamboo sculptures, and works by Native American artists are also featured prominently in the exhibition.
