  <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[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[The new installation of the Architecture and Design Galleries features a selection of visionary objects, graphics, architectural fragments, and textiles from the Museum’s collection that reveal the attempts of successive generations to shape their experience of living in the modern world. Roughly three hundred works are thematically organized into five installations: Art Nouveau objects and posters  from 1890 to 1914, featuring stunning designs by Hector Guimard, Antoné Gaudi, and Charles Rennie Mackintosh; posters and graphics of the New Typography movement (1927–37) (on view through July 12); works from 1925 to 1940, including a giant railroad-car spring and a billboard for Ford Motors, that focus on the relationship of mind, body, and machine; a survey of the influential Good Design movement (1944–56), including iconic pieces by Marcel Breuer, Charles and Ray Eames, and Hans Wegner; and works from the 1960s  and 1970s that merged the clean and elegant forms of modern design with new materials, colors, and forms, opening up new possibilities for more playful, expendable design.

  <Description><![CDATA[The gallery presents &quot;Georges Hugnet: The Love Life of the Spumifers,&quot; an exhibition of hand-painted photographic postcards by the eminent Surrealist artist, poet, bookbinding designer and critic. These bizarre, lusciously painted images illustrate Hugnet’s work, The Love Life of the Spumiferswhere each accompanying text poetically and humorously catalogues the mating habits of a fantastical creature or Spumifer.

&quot;The Love Life of the Spumifers,&quot; or &quot;La Vie amoureuse des Spumifères,&quot; combines Surrealist poetry’s fascination with l’amour and Dada’s tendency towards deliberate grammatical spontaneity and absurdity. Words like bowoodling, friskadoodling and alabamaraminating are concocted by Hugnet to describe the seductive strategies of his imaginary creatures. Each text is dedicated to a different creature, describing how it woos, teases, gropes and molests its intended love conquest. Each Spumifer is illustrated by a gouache “beast,” which is added to an early Twentieth Century vintage “French” photo postcard. The mellifluously painted monsters slyly slither around the bare flesh of the pictured “mademoiselle,” nibbling and tickling, arousing her sexual desire. Hugnet’s illustrations seduce the viewer, parodying the human pursuit of love and lovemaking through these adorable grotesques. Hugnet realized the series &quot;The Love Life of the Spumifers&quot; during 1947–48 and wrote the accompanying texts in the early 1960s. The whereabouts of four of the 40 original Spumifers intended to complete the series are at present unknown. Hugnet composed only 33 texts and one of those texts accompanied a missing work. He created a number of additional Spumifers, maybe as many as 20, which were not part of the final 40 which he had intended to publish as a book.

In collaboration with Myrtille Hugnet, Ubu Gallery is presenting a small contextual exhibition of collages – including originals from &quot;La Septième Face du Dé&quot; and &quot;Huit Jours a Trebaumec,&quot; gouaches and publications made by George Hugnet from the 1930s to the 1960s and unique ephemera by the artist.

  <Description><![CDATA[This exhibition highlights three contemporary artists who utilize the still life as a central part of their process, honoring and subverting the traditions of the genre while exploring how photography has influenced it. Sharon Core takes her inspiration from art-historical still lifes, creating uncanny facsimiles of hyperrealistic paintings. Miranda Lichtensteinfrequently uses the still life format as a means to examine and deconstruct the photographic process.  In the multi-disciplinary work of Corin Hewitt, the still life represents the end-product and the documentation of an experiment and performance.

  <Description><![CDATA[This exhibition examines the history of MoMA’s drawings collection through key gifts from donors whose connections with the Museum helped shape the institution from its earliest days. Lillie P. Bliss and Abby Aldrich Rockefeller, founders of MoMA, gave numerous masterworks to the new museum, including some of its most prized drawings. In later decades bequests by influential collectors such as James Thrall Soby continued to augment the holdings of works by artists the Museum had already shown a commitment to, while other collections, like that of Joan and Lester Avnet, were formed with MoMA’s needs specifically in mind. More idiosyncratic collections, such as Ruth Vollmer’s bequest to the Museum, accepted in 1983, reflect the life and activities of individual art enthusiasts during key moments in art history. Gifted is a reevaluation of the drawings collection, reflecting not only the richness of MoMA’s holdings, but also the diverse forces that have shaped it and the corresponding history it represents.

  <Description><![CDATA[This exhibition presents six fresh and highly focused cross sections through the career of master photographer Eugène Atget (French, 1857–1927), drawn exclusively from the Museum’s unparalleled holdings of his work. The sign outside Atget’s studio read, “Documents pour artistes,”—declaring his modest ambition to create images for other artists to use as source material. This humility belied the visual sophistication and distinctive vision that characterized much of Atget’s own work. Whether exploring the urban texture of Paris’ fifth arrondissement throughout the first quarter of the 20th century, or the abandoned grandeur of the parks at Sceaux during a remarkable creative outburst in the spring of 1925, Atget captured the essence of his chosen subject through the camera’s lens with increasing sensitivity throughout his career. Also featured are his photographs made in the Luxembourg gardens, as well as a concise selection from Atget’s sustained investigation of Parisian and rural courtyards. Two final sections of the exhibition highlight Atget’s attention to the human figure, a rare but significant aspect of his work, as well as his “Surrealist” photographs of mannequins, store windows, and street fairs that so intrigued the Parisian avant-garde in the 1920s.  Atget began making photographs in the late 1890s, and the photographs featured in this exhibition span the breadth of his career. However, more than two-thirds of the over 100 works on view were made after World War I when Atget’s photographic vision had fully matured, and these remain taut, essential, and surprising pictures to this day.

  <Description><![CDATA[Over the last two decades, the art world has broadened its geographic reach and opened itself to new continents, allowing for a significant cross-pollination of post-conceptual strategies and vernacular modes. Printed materials, in both innovative and traditional forms, have played a key role in this exchange of ideas and sources. This exhibition examines the evolution of artistic practices related to the print medium, from the resurgence of ancient printmaking techniques—often used alongside digital technologies—to the worldwide proliferation of self-published artists’ books and ephemera. Bringing together over 200 works drawn substantially from MoMA’s extensive collection of prints and books, with the addition of several important loans, the exhibition features major artists and publishing projects, such as Ai Weiwei, Ellen Gallagher, Martin Kippenberger, Lucy McKenzie, Museum in Progress, Editions Jacob Samuel, Thomas Schütte, SUPERFLEX, and Rirkrit Tiravanija, among many others.

  <Description><![CDATA[The Morgan expansion project is the subject of a special exhibition that begins with a historical survey of the site from the 1850s through today. The expansion project is represented by drawings, models, and photographs.

The exhibition is organized by The Morgan Library &amp; Museum and the Renzo Piano Building Workshop and features materials from the conceptual design phase to the finished scheme.

The Renzo Piano Building Workshop's project for the Morgan follows an exceptional architectural legacy. The original library, designed by Charles McKim and opened for Pierpont Morgan's personal use a hundred years ago, is an American Renaissance icon. Of the numerous structures that once stood on the site now occupied by the Morgan, three remain: the Morgan house, the 1928 Annex, and McKim's masterpiece. Renzo Piano reckoned with these three landmarks as he brought practical and pleasing coherence to the complex. This installation is in three parts. The development of the Morgan's current property is traced from its beginning in the 1850s. It is not a static building history. Structures were put up, added to, altered, demolished—whatever their owners deemed necessary or desirable. The second part examines how Renzo Piano realized the Morgan's institutional goals and rationalized and developed the complex that he first encountered in 2000. The final section examines aspects of design development, and images of finished work link architectural drawings to completed construction.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[The first museum exhibition in the United States of the work of Sanja Iveković (b. 1949, Zagreb) covers four decades of the artist's remarkable career. A feminist, activist, and video pioneer, Iveković came of age in the early 1970s during the period known as the Croatian Spring, when artists broke free from mainstream institutional settings, laying the ground for a form of praxis antipodal to official art. Part of the generation known as the Nova Umjetnička Praska (New Art Practice), Iveković produced works of cross-cultural resonance that range from conceptual photomontages to video and performance. 

This exhibition brings together a historic group of single-channel videos and media installations, including Sweet Violence (1974), Personal Cuts (1982), Practice Makes a Master (1982/2009), General Alert (Soap Opera) (1995), and Rohrbach Living Memorial (2005). Among the 100 photomontages featured in the exhibition is Iveković's celebrated series Double Life (1975–76), for which the artist juxtaposed pictures of herself culled from her private albums with commercial ads clipped from the pages of women's magazines. 

While in the 1970s Iveković probed the persuasive qualities of mass media and its identity-forging potential, after 1990—following the fall of the Berlin Wall, the disintegration of Yugoslavia, and the birth of a new nation—she focused on the transformation of reality from socialist to post-socialist political systems. Iveković offers a fascinating view into the official politics of power, gender roles, and the paradoxes inherent in society's collective memory. The exhibition will be accompanied by a major publication.

  <Description><![CDATA[The gallery is pleased to exhibit a series of paintings by Ana Tzarev inspired by the Russian fairy tales. To honor her Slavic heritage and the profound influence it has had on her art, Ana Tzarev has followed in the tradition of renowned Russian artists Bilibin and Kandinsky and created her own contemporary rendition of the Russian fairy tales she grew up with. Inspired by these fantastical stories and the Palekh boxes she collects, Tzarev recreates these magical scenes from her childhood imagination. This new series captures the characters, scenes, and sentiment of stories that have been cherished for centuries.

  <Description><![CDATA[Dennis Oppenheim (1938-2011) exhibited his work in museums and galleries worldwide since 1968. During four decades his practice has employed all available methods; writing, action, performance, video, film, photography, and installation. He has used mechanical and industrial elements, fireworks, common objects and traditional material, materials of the earth, sky, his own or another's body. He has created works for interior, exterior, and public spaces.

The close working relationship and friends hip between the Dennis Oppenheim studio and The Gabarron Foundation was initiated in 1997 with &quot;Stage Set for a Film&lt;&quot; commissioned fro Dennis Oppenheim by the City of Valladolid (Spain), completed in 1998. The studio and the foundation continued to work together on multiple projects between 1997 and 2011, fostered by mutual understanding. The Foundation is please to present the most recent project, &quot;Salutations to the Sky.&quot;

The exhibition at the Carriage House is three projects which focus on the artist's use of the intangible connection, earth to sky. This connection was alluded to often, beginning with Land Art. In &quot;Annual Rings,&quot; (1968) the schemata of annual tree rings cut in snow is severed by the river forming the boundary between the US and Canada. This work could be considered the definition of site-specificity. With &quot;Salutations,&quot; inscriptions are cut in land adjoining a river in Sacramento, California, though any river with adjoining flat land is a potential site. Both works are experienced through photography, the first realized but temporal, the second unrealized, existing in proposal form. It is in aerial photography, which places the viewer in the sky and looking at the earth, by which one best experiences these works. The second work in this exhibition is photo documentation of the project, &quot;Formula Compound, A Combustion Chamber, An Exorcism.&quot; In this work the artist made the connection between earth and sky using lines of light. Through projection, the sculpture is drawing in air, it becomes a fireworks projection machine.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Diego Rivera was the subject of MoMA’s second monographic exhibition (the first was Henri Matisse), which set new attendance records in its five-week run from December 22, 1931, to January 27, 1932. MoMA brought Rivera to New York six weeks before the exhibition’s opening and gave him studio space within the Museum, a strategy intended to solve the problem of how to present the work of this famous muralist when murals were by definition made and fixed on site. Working around the clock with two assistants, Rivera produced five “portable murals”—large blocks of frescoed plaster, slaked lime, and wood that feature bold images drawn from Mexican subject matter and address themes of revolution and class inequity. After the opening, to great publicity, Rivera added three more murals, now taking on New York subjects through monumental images of the urban working class and the social stratification of the city during the Great Depression. All eight were on display for the rest of the show’s run. The first of these panels, Agrarian Leader Zapata, is an icon in the Museum’s collection. 

This exhibition will bring together key works made for Rivera’s 1931 exhibition, presenting them at MoMA for the first time in nearly 80 years. Along with mural panels, the show will include full-scale drawings, smaller working drawings, archival materials related to the commission and production of these works, and designs for Rivera’s famous Rockefeller Center mural, which he also produced while he was working at the Museum. Focused specifically on works created during the artist’s stay in New York, this exhibition will draw a succinct portrait of Rivera as a highly cosmopolitan figure who moved between Russia, Mexico, and the United States, and will offer a fresh look at the intersection of art making and radical politics in the 1930s. MoMA will be the exhibition’s sole venue.

  <Description><![CDATA[In 1902 American financier Pierpont Morgan (1837–1913) chose architect Charles Follen McKim (1847–1909) of the prominent firm McKim, Mead and White to design a library to house his growing collection of rare books and manuscripts. Adjacent to Morgan's home, which stood on the corner of Madison Avenue and 36th Street, McKim created a majestic structure in a classical style based upon villas of the Italian Renaissance. The exterior is constructed of Tennessee pink marble, the blocks set with such precision that virtually no mortar was used. A simple recessed portico is flanked by a pair of stone lionesses. Completed in 1906, Mr. Morgan's Library—as it was called for many years—is the historic heart of today's Morgan Library &amp; Museum.

In 2010 the Morgan restored the interior of the 1906 library to its original grandeur. A new lighting system was installed to illuminate the extraordinary murals and decor of the four historic rooms. Intricate marble surfaces and applied ornamentation were cleaned, period furniture was reupholstered, and original fixtures—including three chandeliers removed decades ago—were restored and reinstalled. A late-nineteenth-century Persian rug (similar to the one originally there) was laid in the grand East Room. The ornate ceiling of the librarian's office, or North Room, was cleaned, and visitors are able to enter the refurbished space—now a gallery—for the first time. New, beautifully crafted display cases throughout the 1906 library feature selections from the Morgan's collection of great works of art and literature from the ancient world to modern times. 

In 1966 the secretary of the interior designated Pierpont Morgan's 1906 library a national historic landmark. Both the exterior and interior of the library are also designated New York City landmarks.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[The New Art Practice was a term created for a generation of artists in the former Yugoslavia active in the late 1960s and throughout the 1970s. These artists shifted their practice to spaces outside the traditional studio, onto city streets, into artist-run spaces, and in multimedia performances and experimental publications. Focusing on artists working in the city of Zagreb, this exhibition documents aspects of this shift and highlights the ability of artists' publications to record these often ephemeral gestures and ideas. While artists such as Goran Trbuljak, Braco Dimitrijević, Sanja Iveković, Mladen Stilinović, and Vlado Martek, among others, worked in a variety of mediums, they shared a common impulse to produce publications. These artists questioned and played with ideas about the place of an artist within this particular political and socioeconomic context. Their work often involved public participation and blurred traditional notions of authorship through collective activities, chance operations, and the appropriation of language and imagery from the state and commercial media. The materials in this installation resonate with other contemporaneous scenes in Eastern and Central Europe and with broader international trends, while also providing an insight into very local networks of experimental artists and writers in Zagreb.

  <Description><![CDATA[“Plywood,” explained &quot;Popular Science&quot; in 1948, “is a layercake of lumber and glue.” In the history of design, plywood is also an important modern material that has given 20th-century designers of everyday objects, furniture, and even architecture greater flexibility in shaping modern forms at an industrial scale. This installation features examples, drawn from MoMA's collection, of modern designs that take advantage of the formal and aesthetic possibilities offered by plywood, from around 1930 through the 1950s. Archival photographs illuminate the process of design and manufacture in plywood. Iconic furniture by Alvar Aalto, Charles and Ray Eames, Eero Saarinen, and Arne Jacobsen appear alongside organic platters by Tapio Wirkkala (1951), Sori Yanagi’s Butterfly Stool (1956), an architectural model for a prefabricated house by Marcel Breuer (1943), and experimental designs for plywood in the aeronautics industry.

  <Description><![CDATA[This summer’s Sculpture Garden installation brings together figurative works from the late 19th century to the present day. Making its debut in the Sculpture Garden is Figurengruppe/Group of Figures, by contemporary German artist Katharina Fritsch (b. 1956). Conceived in 2006–08, the work features nine life-size sculptures of, among other figures, St. Michael, a Madonna, a giant, and a snake, all rendered in precise detail and finished in bold colors. Religious symbolism and references to mythology abound, yet any fixed meaning remains open and elusive. Group of Figures is joined by earlier works such as Auguste Rodin’s heroic St. John the Baptist Preaching (1878–80) and Aristide Maillol’s pensive Mediterranean (1902–05). Striking a casual pose in his derby hat is Elie Nadelman’s Man in the Open Air (c. 1915), and perched atop a tall pedestal is Gaston Lachaise’s open-armed, voluptuous Floating Figure (1927). Perennial favorites like Picasso’s She-Goat (1950) and Miró’s Moonbird (1966) are on view as well, in addition to works by Renée Sintenis, Max Ernst, Alberto Giacometti, Henry Moore, and Tom Otterness.

The expanded portfolio includes new work by Shin il Kim, Jason Gringler, Stephen Posen, and Lisha Bai. Stephen J. Shanabrook &amp; Veronika Georgieva’s &quot;Nude Descending a Staircase&quot; from their &quot;Paper Surgery Project” deals with the consumption of images as a reflection of contemporary culture.  Zdravko Toic’s works on paper express feelings and emotional memories through a language beyond speech, the written word, or logic itself. Manuela Paz’s “Hello Manuela this is your father…”, 2011, is a series of hand carved stamps used in the artist’s performative intervention, “Call Me” which took place during the opening of “Summer Affair” at the gallery.

  <Description><![CDATA[Cindy Sherman (American, b. 1954) is widely recognized as one of the most important and influential artists in contemporary art. Throughout her career, she has presented a sustained, eloquent, and provocative exploration of the construction of contemporary identity and the nature of representation, drawn from the unlimited supply of images from movies, TV, magazines, the Internet, and art history. Working as her own model for more than 30 years, Sherman has captured herself in a range of guises and personas which are at turns amusing and disturbing, distasteful and affecting. To create her photographs, she assumes multiple roles of photographer, model, makeup artist, hairdresser, stylist, and wardrobe mistress. With an arsenal of wigs, costumes, makeup, prosthetics, and props, Sherman has deftly altered her physique and surroundings to create a myriad of intriguing tableaus and characters, from screen siren to clown to aging socialite.

Bringing together more than 180 photographs, this retrospective survey traces the artist’s career from the mid 1970s to the present. Highlighted in the exhibition are in-depth presentations of her key series, including the groundbreaking series Untitled Film Stills (1977–80), the black-and-white pictures that feature the artist in stereotypical female roles inspired by 1950s and 1960s Hollywood, film noir, and European art-house films; her ornate history portraits (1989–90), in which the artist poses as aristocrats, clergymen, and milkmaids in the manner of old master paintings; and her larger-than-life society portraits (2008) that address the experience and representation of aging in the context of contemporary obsessions with youth and status. The exhibition will explore dominant themes throughout Sherman’s career, including artifice and fiction; cinema and performance; horror and the grotesque; myth, carnival, and fairy tale; and gender and class identity. Also included are Sherman’s recent photographic murals (2010), which will have their American premiere at MoMA.

In conjunction with the exhibition, Sherman has selected films from MoMA’s collection, which will be screened in MoMA’s theaters during the course of the exhibition.

  <Description><![CDATA[The museum presents the first solo exhibition in the United States of Berlin-based artist Haris Epaminonda.

Epaminonda is internationally known for her photographic assemblages constructed from found books and magazines of the 1960s, and for her video installations, in which television footage culled from Greek soap operas that she used to watch as a child on Sunday afternoons in Cyprus, are reshot and re–edited in new sequences, creating a web of elusive associations. This exhibition presents Epaminonda's three–channel video installation &quot;Tarahi IIII, V, VI&quot; (2007), part of an ongoing series that enlists the use of reverse shooting, montage, cuts, superimposition, and repetition of motifs to address the permeability of memory.

  <Description><![CDATA[Berlin-based artist Haris Epaminonda (b. 1980, Nicosia, Cyprus) is internationally known for her photo-collages and assemblages constructed from books and magazines from the 1950s and 1960s, and for her video installations, in which film and television footage culled from Greek soap operas from the artist's childhood are reshot or re-edited in new sequences. This exhibition presents Epaminonda's three-channel video installation Tarahi IV, V, VI (2007), part of an ongoing series of short films that enlist the use of montage, cuts, and repetition to address the permeability of memory. Favoring a slowed-down, filmic flow and the lush colors one associates with the saturated hues of Douglas Sirk melodramas, these enigmatic videos are presented in a new installation specifically conceived for MoMA.

  <Description><![CDATA[The exhibition, which brings together 21 emerging and established Korean artists working in photography, painting, video, and mixed media. &quot;Korean Eye&quot; reflects a new era of diversity in Korean life, politics, and culture, and offers a unique opportunity for education and appreciation of Korea's rapidly developing art scene, which until recently has seen little global exposure. The exhibition offers an illuminating commentary on the philosophical and aesthetic conditions of modern Korean culture, from virtual reality and the pervasive influence of fantasy and pop culture to the dehumanization inherent in a post-industrial society. By turns ironic, satirical, and metaphorical, the exhibition includes photo-sculptures by Seung Hyo Jang; embroidery and acrylic paintings by Young In Hong; a large, imposing shark fabricated from reclaimed and repurposed automobile tires by Yong Ho Ji; and Meekyoung Shin's astonishing &quot;antique&quot; porcelain vases, rendered in soap.

  <Description><![CDATA[Exhibited side-by-side, Jensen’s colorful and tactile abstract paintings and LeWitt’s minimalist white structures reveal the vastly different outcomes that can arise from similar conceptual foundations. Jensen uses mathematical systems to construct two-dimensional grid paintings and demonstrate color theories, but the work itself is metaphorical, referencing pre-Colombian and Asian cultures, textiles, and divination. LeWitt’s three-dimensional grid sculptures, in contrast, are self-referential, rooted in logic and reality, and governed by mathematical instructions that objectively organize space. The exhibition will include eight paintings by Jensen and eight open geometric structures by LeWitt. 

Jensen's intricately organized diagrams reflect his distinctive conceptual approach, begun in the late 1950s when he started to refine his wide-ranging studies of systems and philosophies—from theories of color and light, mathematics, and the Mayan calendar, to scientific formulations—into multicolored checkerboards. The paintings on view, made between 1960 and 1975, include one of Jensen’s largest and most complex works, &quot;A la Fin de l’automne&quot; (1975). A honeycomb of color, numbers, and symbols, the elements alternate between light and dark, with each square bearing an abstract marker. Jensen had travelled to Brazil and Peru just one year earlier, and the work suggests the pattern of a pre-Colombian tapestry rendered in thick impasto. 

In contrast, LeWitt’s austere open structures, made from basic geometrical units arranged according to pre-determined mathematical sequences, reflect their own poetics. A pillar of minimalist and conceptual art, Sol LeWitt helped revolutionize the definition of art in the 1960s with his famous declaration that “the idea becomes a machine that makes the art.” Reducing art to its essentials, the cube became the basic modular unit for his artistic inquiry—the “grammatical device” from which his work would proceed. A universally recognizable form that could not be mistaken to represent anything other than itself, the cube eliminated the necessity of inventing another form, allowing the form itself to be used for invention. The exhibition will feature all manner of structures of forms derived from the cube, made out of wood or aluminum and painted white, from between 1971 and 1997, including the ceiling-mounted work &quot;Hanging Structure&quot; (1992), and a maquette for an outdoor structure similar to those recently featured in the Public Art Fund’s landmark survey exhibition &quot;Sol LeWitt Structures: 1965–2006,&quot; installed in New York’s City Hall Park from May to December 2011. 

Concurrently, Pace has installed a monumental concrete block structure by Sol LeWitt on the roof of its Chelsea gallery at 510 West 25th Street, which is visible from the High Line. The structure, &quot;Horizontal Progression&quot; (1991), continues LeWitt’s interest in generating variety within self-imposed constrictions, moving only horizontally, vertically, or diagonally to the left or right.

  <Description><![CDATA[James Rosenquist began to paint the 86-foot-long &quot;F-111&quot; in 1964, in the middle of one of this country’s most turbulent decades. Inspired by advertising billboards and by earlier mural-scaled paintings, such as Claude Monet’s &quot;Water Lilies,&quot; he designed its 23 panels to wrap around the four walls of the Leo Castelli Gallery at 4 East 77th Street in Manhattan, where it would be displayed the following year. Rosenquist took as his subject the &quot;F-111&quot; fighter bomber plane, the newest, most technologically advanced weapon in development at the time, and positioned it, as he later explained, “flying through the flak of consumer society to question the collusion between the Vietnam death machine, consumerism, the media, and advertising.” Its jumps of scale, collage-like juxtaposition of fragments of imagery, and gloriously vivid palette exemplify the style that defines Rosenquist’s singular contribution to Pop art in the United States. For this special installation, located outside the entrance to the fourth-floor Painting and Sculpture galleries, &quot;F-111&quot; will be presented as it was first exhibited at the Castelli Gallery in 1965.

  <Description><![CDATA[Forty-five years ago, sixteen states still prohibited interracial marriage. Then, in 1967, the U.S. Supreme Court considered the case of Richard Perry Loving, a white man, and his wife, Mildred Loving, a woman of African American and Native American descent, who had been arrested for miscegenation nine years earlier in Virginia. The Lovings were not active in the Civil Rights movement but their tenacious legal battle to justify their marriage changed history when the Supreme Court unanimously declared Virginia's anti-miscegenation law—and all race-based marriage bans—unconstitutional. LIFE magazine photographer Grey Villet's intimate images were uncovered by director Nancy Buirski during the making of The Loving Story, a documentary debuting on February 14, 2012 on HBO. The exhibition, organized by Assistant Curator of Collections Erin Barnett, includes some 20 vintage prints loaned by the estate of Grey Villet and by the Loving family.

  <Description><![CDATA[Dating from 1992 to 2011, the works in the exhibition range from sketched portraits cropped to the face, to commanding single figures, to complex arrangements of couples, families, or groups. As in the fraught suburban scenes for which he first rose to prominence, with each approach to portraiture Fischl demonstrates his mastery of conjuring form and light from paint to communicate the psychological bearing of his subjects.

A highlight of the exhibition is three large group portraits painted at intervals of several years that depict the Artist and his circle of friends at the beach. The earliest, The Gang (2006), is a congregation of sun-enveloped bodies with paraphernalia suggesting an extended day of revelry. Saint Barts Ralph’s 70th (2009) presents a smaller group, parched in bright light, bags packed and seemingly on the move -- a record of transition that is echoed in the painting’s title. The third, the most recent work in the exhibition, is Self-Portrait: An Unfinished Work (2011), an unsettling painting within-a-painting in which the Artist sits facing the viewer with his back to an unfinished canvas. Here, the friends Fischl portrays are pressed toward the front of the picture plane by dark rocks and waves. At the center of this group a conspicuously incomplete figure, presumably a surrogate for the Artist himself (who, until now, has been absent from the gatherings) hovers above the foreground self-portrait. Fischl allows us to see the Artist, so adept at capturing others, wrestling with seeing himself.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[For an intense decade between 1935 and 1946, Weegee (1899–1968) was one of the most relentlessly inventive figures in American photography. His graphically dramatic and often lurid photographs of New York crimes and news events set the standard for what has become known as tabloid journalism. Freelancing for a variety of New York newspapers and photo agencies, and later working as a stringer for the short-lived liberal daily PM (1940–48), Weegee established a way of combining photographs and texts that was distinctly different from that promoted by other picture magazines, such as LIFE. Utilizing other distribution venues, Weegee also wrote extensively (including his autobiographical Naked City, published in 1945) and organized his own exhibitions at the Photo League. This exhibition draws upon the extensive Weegee Archive at ICP and includes environmental recreations of Weegee's apartment and exhibitions. The exhibition is organized by ICP Chief Curator Brian Wallis.

  <Description><![CDATA[Known to many as the subject of Sharon Lockhart’s recent film &quot;Double Tide,&quot; Jen Casad is a master draftsman as well as a professional clammer. Casad’s first one-person New York exhibition will present 12 small-scaled and meticulously rendered views of coastal life, local workers, and views of the landscape, both imagined and based on observation, done in graphite on rag board.
 
Writing on the recent work, the critic Linda Norden says “Casad’s individual drawings share an approach to portraiture that parallels Lockhart’s approach to her films: both artists learn about their subjects by watching them at work in a very particular, defining landscape.” Norden continues, “Casad is both exuberant and tenacious; her drawings are seductive and gratifyingly slow-burn.”

  <Description><![CDATA[Foreclosed: Rehousing the American Dream is an exploration of new architectural possibilities for cities and suburbs in the aftermath of the recent foreclosure crisis. During summer 2011, five interdisciplinary teams of architects, urban planners, ecologists, engineers, and landscape designers worked in public workshops at MoMA PS1 to envision new housing and transportation infrastructures that could catalyze urban transformation, particularly in the country’s suburbs. Responding to The Buell Hypothesis, a research report prepared by the Buell Center at Columbia University, teams—lead by MOS, Visible Weather, Studio Gang, WORKac, and Zago Architecture—focused on a specific location within one of five “megaregions” across the country to come up with inventive solutions for the future of American suburbs. This installation presents the proposals developed during the architects-in-residence program, including a wide array of models, renderings, animations, and analytical materials.

  <Description><![CDATA[The exhibition will feature new work in a variety of media, including paintings, works on paper, and sculptural installations.

Sarah Hardesty’s sculptures and installations use found and reclaimed wood, mason’s string and thread, and are almost always site-specific. The works hang from ceilings, emerge from floors, and penetrate walls. They feel precarious, as though they are about to tumble down, yet are serene in their taut stillness. The visual impression is one of both explosive force and magnetic attraction, as though the walls themselves are either erupting outward, or pulling inward.

In her paintings and drawings, Hardesty often depicts animals - usually birds - entwined with lines or covered with actual thread. The viewer is never certain whether the creatures, with their impeccably rendered silhouettes, are being ensnared by the artist’s delicate cross-hatching, or are liberating themselves from restraints.]]></Description>

Dodd continues to explore her familiar everyday subjects of gardens, landscapes and interiors with freshness and directness grounded in observation.  With titles such as House and Laundry on Foggy Day (2010), Path to the Barn (2011), and Barn Window – Blue Sky (2011) Dodd paints her subjects with an unsentimental, no-nonsense directness that merges realism and abstraction with a minimalist touch.

  <Description><![CDATA[In Japan, beauty can be found in objects from the most refined to the most humble, often with standards very different from those in the Western world. Drawn largely from the MAD collection, &quot;Beauty in All Things&quot; features contemporary Japanese artists and designers who create innovative works within these ideals of beauty. Some push traditional techniques and materials in new directions, and others experiment with new technologies and materials within the context of historical practice.   In this exhibition, specific works are highlighted that exemplify Japanese concepts of beauty, including shizen, wabi sabi, and datsuzoku.   The term shizen implies a reverence for the beauty found in nature, a recurring theme in Japanese art.

  <Description><![CDATA[&quot;Perspectives 2012,&quot; is the second installment of an exhibition series that focuses on innovative artists working in photography and video. These small group exhibitions highlight the individual ideas and achievements of an engaging and eclectic group of talented artists. The aim of the series is to stimulate conversations about contemporary art and to showcase outstanding artworks that might not otherwise come to wide attention.

&quot;Perspectives 2012&quot; includes works by three artists— Chien-Chi Chang, Greg Girard, and Anna Shteynshleyger— who explore what happens when tight-knit cultural communities are transplanted to unfamiliar geographic locales.  Each artist is represented by a group of prints selected from a much larger body of work.

“Each of the photographers in this exhibition brings a highly personal vision and sensibility to the subject they have chosen,” said ICP Curator Christopher Phillips, who organized the exhibition. “It is only when we step back that we realize they are all exploring aspects of one of the most distinctive social phenomena of our times.”

  <Description><![CDATA[Dwight Ripley was a British born artist, whose work was the subject of five solo exhibitions at Tibor de Nagy starting in 1951. A polymath, Ripley was a serious botanist, the author of a volume of poetry, and spoke fifteen languages.  However, it was for his artwork that he was most recognized. Six of his drawings were included in an exhibition at Peggy Guggenheim’s legendary gallery Art of This Century.

Ripley's &quot;Travel Posters&quot; and &quot;Language Panels&quot;-- two series of drawings made in 1962 and 1968, the last decade of his life-- combine inventive graphic clarity with allusive puns based on popular art forms. In his &quot;Travel Posters,&quot; the enticing scenery has been configured from the scientific names of indigenous plants, but spun in a cursive web that suggests the wandering line of Surrealist or abstract art. In the &quot;Language Panels,&quot; his etymologically-driven idea of the comic strip, the drawings have been divided into mysterious quadrants that imply narratives of both discovery and danger. Colorful, unusual, and pioneering in their steadfast insistence on colored pencil, the drawings are prescient of the epistemological savvy and environmental awareness that came to characterize the era we still recognize as our own.

  <Description><![CDATA[Notations: The Cage Effect aims to serve as a timely platform upon the centennial of John Cage's birth. The exhibition will examine his diverse and widespread influence throughout America, Asia, Europe and Latin America not only through the artists directly following Cage but also those in successive generations to the present. By taking a chronological and geographic survey it may be possible to elucidate why Cage has been hailed as an “authorizing factor” and how his influence is manifest to such a widespread and significant degree.  The exhibition will include some 30 artists including William Anastasi, Ushio Shinohara, Rivane Neuenschwander, Kaz Oshiro and Fred Sandback among many others, and will be supplemented by a full schedule of inter-disciplinary public programming. The exhibition will also be accompanied by a comprehensive exhibition catalogue with essays by Dr. Pissarro, Julio Grinblatt and Bibi Caldero, and contributions by participating graduate students at Hunter College. ]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Wada extracts elements from the everyday and presents hyper-real, full-scale painting interpretations. He selects banal objects such as coolers, barber poles, and turnstiles, and suspends them on a white background, providing the opportunity to contemplate the true meaning of these familiar and often ignored elements of our lives. While these paintings create a nearly trompe l’oeil effect at first glance, when examined closely the lustrous, velvety brushstrokes create a surprisingly sensuous surface. This sumptuousness is apparent in the painting Unleaded, in which Wada bestows upon a fuel pump a richly mottled exterior with ripples of indigoes, purples, and golden yellows.

Working from the digital images he’s both shot and edited, Wada paints many of the objects in his works life-size. The canvases are hung at the height of the object in real life, and he applies the corresponding perspective to the object. For example, the work Normandie, featured in the exhibition, depicts a row of four American-made vintage hair dryers. To provide an authentic appearance, a separate canvas is devoted to each hair dryer, which is painted to scale at 17 inches tall and 14 inches wide, and each hair dryer is hung 14 inches apart, as they would be in a hair salon.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[The gallery is pleased to present an exhibition of Stanley Boxer (1926–2000), an artist whose work is in numerous museum collections in America and abroad, Boxer worked with indefatigable energy during a career that spanned the second half of the twentieth century. In his paintings from the 1960s through the 1990s—featured in this exhibition—he developed an individualistic stylistic trajectory, drawing from the action painting techniques of Abstract Expressionism and the optical color sensations and allover approach of Color Field painting, as well as from painterly traditions stretching back to the old masters. His passion for surface vibrancy is demonstrated in his sensuous, richly textured canvases and the exuberant works he created in the 1990s, in which he blended oil paint with a range of unusual materials.

In naming his paintings, Stanley Boxer's usual practice was to string together words. The unbroken titles are a rhythmic complement to his paintings and parallel the continuous yet changing cadences of his surfaces as well as their many associations. In their animate qualities, many are suggestive of the natural world without being specifically referential. Others are map-like, conveying the presence of landforms, water, and sky, while collaged elements add a topographical and relief dimension to the later works.

In the 1960s, Stanley Boxer's work was discovered by the noted critic Clement Greenberg, who categorized him as Color Field painter. To Boxer, this label was too limiting. He stated in 1972: “Nothing is per se rejected in my work! Everything is possible.” It is therefore not surprising that critics from all persuasions over many decades have expressed an unusually high regard for Boxer and his art.

  <Description><![CDATA[Statement from the artist: &quot;Over the last twenty five years my work has taken several forms of expression, from concentric circle or target paintings, to black and white line paintings, to photographs, to cartoon-inspired drawings, to paintings that can be described as psychedelic ‘candyland’ themed landscapes, to small thickly encaustic abstractions. However, over this period of time, the most pre-dominant works are the “highly optical” black and white line paintings done since 1989. These are probably the works for which I am best known. In 1994 I stopped making abstract line paintings but I returned to this type of work in 2002 and 2003 and then most recently in 2010 and 2011. It is this grouping of highly optical black and white line paintings around which I have built this exhibition.&quot;

  <Description><![CDATA[Often compared to an artist’s sketchbook, a contact sheet is the photographer’s first look at what he or she has captured on film, and provides a uniquely intimate glimpse into the working process. It gives a behind-the-scenes sense of walking alongside photographers and seeing through their eyes. &quot;Magnum Contact Sheets&quot;  reveals how Magnum photographers have captured and edited their best shots from the 1930s to the present. The images featured— both celebrated, iconic photographs and lesser-known surprises— encompass more than 70 years of history: from the Normandy landings by Robert Capa, the 1968 Paris riots by Bruno Barbey, and the war in Chechnya by Thomas Dworzak, to René Burri’s filmic sequence of close-ups of Che Guevara, classic New Yorkers by Bruce Gilden, and Eve Arnold’s famous portrait of the charismatic and image-savvy Malcolm X.

“The contact sheet embodies much of the appeal of photography itself: the sense of time unfolding, a durable trace of movement through space, an apparent authentication of photography’s claims to transparent representation of reality,” said ICP Associate Curator Kristen Lubben, who organized the exhibition. “It records each step on the route to arriving at a particular image, and thus provides a unique window into the creative process.” This exhibition, through these fascinating and usually private series of images (many of them previously unpublished), celebrates what and how Magnum photographers saw along the way for nearly a century.
  
The exhibition functions—in the words of Magnum photographer Martin Parr—as an “epitaph to the contact sheet,” marking the end of the analog film era and the rise of digital photography.

  <Description><![CDATA[&quot;9 Scripts from a Nation at War&quot; (2007), a 10-channel video installation recently acquired by MoMA, marks the first work for which artists Andrea Geyer, Sharon Hayes, Ashley Hunt, Katya Sander, and David Thorne have collaborated. The work responds to knowledge production and communication in the context of the Iraq war since the initial invasion by U.S. military forces in March 2003. The 10 videos comprising the large-scale, spatial installation cast inquiry into the position of the individual amidst roles constructed by war. Each video stages the speaking of a script from the following perspectives: citizen, blogger, correspondent, veteran, student, actor, interviewer, lawyer, detainee, and source. The scripts are enacted by both actors and non-actors, some speaking their own words, some reciting the words of others. Displayed as projections and seated viewing stations in a circuitous, non-narrative structure, the performative videos create a charged environment questioning the implications of war on individual and collective subjectivity.

  <Description><![CDATA[Using frost, foam, food, glitter, viscous liquids and molten metal, German artist Luka Fineisen presents ambitious sculptural works that explore moments of becoming. This exhibition is the premiere of Fineisen's work in the United States.

&quot;Phase transitions&quot; is the term used in thermodynamics to describe the shifts between solid, liquid and gaseous states of matter. At a literal level, this is what Fineisen represents in her work - tipping points - the transitional moments when a substance changes from one condition to another. While playing with formal sculptural concerns of modernism and post-minimalism, she explores movement, evanescence and potential. The work is dichotomous - scientific but sensuous, liquid and solid, monumental and fragile, simultaneously in the process of being created and destroyed. Fineisen is unafraid of creating something delightful, but fascinated by the moment when that allure becomes unnerving. When sensuality becomes dangerous. When attraction turns to repulsion. Fineisen shows us the exact moment when she loses control over her creation and the coin- ciding love and fear of that instant.

  <Description><![CDATA[Korean Cultural Service New York presents the exhibition of Po Kim.

This exhibition will display a great variety of the artist's recent works from 2010-2011 along with the large figurative painting in 1994-95 and small abstract paintings around his early works of 1960s. 

Through this exhibition, Korean Cultural Service NY wishes to offer an opportunity to look into the influence of the absence of the artist's wife and longtime artistic companion, the recently deceased Sylvia Wald, and display the artistic spirit of the artist in his nineties whose fiery intensity measures up to those of young and upcoming artists. ]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[The gallery is pleased to announce &quot;New Materials, New Approaches,&quot; an exhibition of 1960s-1970s works in plastics by Julian Stanczak, Mon Levinson, and Leroy Lamis. The exhibition focuses on the extension through plastic of abstract investigations of color, light, and line demonstrated in Lamis’s sculptures, Levinson’s constructions, and Stanczak’s unique series of oil on plastic works created for a solo exhibition at the Corcoran Gallery of Art in 1972.

Over the past five years, the gallery has researched artists investigating new materials in the 1960s, a period that saw both enthusiasm for technology brought on by the Space Race and a renewed interest in the Constructivist and Bauhaus artists of the 1920s. For the exhibition &quot;New Materials, New Approaches,&quot; Mon Levinson (b.1926), Leroy Lamis (1925-2010), and Julian Stanczak (b.1930) were selected as each artist re-purposed industrial materials in innovative ways to create art that rewarded the engaged viewer with shifting imagery of line, color, and reflection. Plastic was first incorporated into art in Europe by the Constructivist and Bauhaus artists of the 1920s. In the United States, Alexander Calder and Charles Biederman incorporated plastic into their sculpture and reliefs in the 1930s. The exploration of plastic in art went into a hiatus through the war years. It was not until the 1960s that artists again looked to plastic for its malleability as well as its smooth surface, luminosity, and ability to be opaque, clear, or colored. By the end of the decade artists working in plastic received attention in focused museum exhibitions like A Plastic Presence at New York’s Jewish Museum in 1969.

  <Description><![CDATA[&quot;Abstract Gambol&quot; is a painting exhibition that includes the works of six painters whose divergent approaches in both concept and technique reflects a richness of possibility at work in abstraction today. In mediums of oil, gouache, acrylic and enamel, these six artists, each in their own way, respond to change, flux, disruption, beauty, nature- that is the world we inhabit.  Their divergent approaches are reflected in works that pull strands from abstract painting's history to extend and develop fresh ideas and painting experiences.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[This exhibition is carefully curated from the gallery's holdings and includes works by such notable masters as Hiram Powers, Augustus Saint-Gaudens, William Zorach, Seymour Lipton and Dorothy Dehner.

&quot;Stories that attend the art we encounter are often as vivid as the art itself,&quot; observes John Driscoll in his introduction to the exhibition's full-color catalogue.  The American Hand celebrates some of the greatest achievements of American sculptors and some of the great stories that accrue when works of art subsequently pass from hand to hand, collection to collection. &quot;A work of art has its own life through time, through various additional hands, through generations…when the artist's work is done, the life of the work of art begins....”

Among the two dozen sculptures that compose this exhibition are Augustus Saint-Gauden's iconic 1899 &quot;Diana of the Tower,&quot; which was originally modeled to stride atop Stanford White's new Madison Square Garden; Theodore Baur's poignant &quot;The Buffalo Hunt,&quot; an 1876 commission for the United States Centennial Celebration; William Zorach's introspective female nude, &quot;Young Woman,&quot; 1956 that Marilyn Monroe gave to her husband, Arthur Miller, as a Hanukkah gift; and the haunting Felix Weihs de Weldon BUST OF JOHN F. KENNEDY, commissioned by Mrs. Kennedy in the spring of 1963 a few months before his tragic assassination.

  <Description><![CDATA[MAD has explored the intersection of traditional or unusual materials and techniques as viewed through the lens of contemporary art and design in a series of exhibitions that include &quot;Radical Lace and Subversive Knitting;&quot; &quot;Second Lives: Remixing the Ordinary;&quot; &quot;Slash: Paper Under the Knife;&quot; &quot;Dead or Alive: Nature Becomes Art;&quot; and &quot;Otherworldly: Optical Delusions and Small Realities.&quot;

The next investigation into unusual mediums features an international group of artists whose major materials are dust, ashes, dirt, and sand. &quot;Swept Away: Dust, Ashes, and Dirt in Contemporary Art and Design&quot; will highlight works that deal with issues such as the ephemeral nature of art and life, the quality and content of memory, issues of loss and disintegration, and the detritus of human existence. Sculptures made from ash by Chinese artist Zhang Huan, life-size sculptures of unfired dirt by American artist James Croak, and works created from city smog by American artist Kim Abeles, among others, illustrate the transformative potential of humble, overlooked, and discarded materials.

  <Description><![CDATA[Born in Valencia in 1930, Genovés is one of Spain’s best-known contemporary artists. Recognized for his aesthetic style rooted in Social Realism and political art, Genovés strongly criticized Franco’s fascist regime. Genovés was sent to jail because the opposition made a poster of his painting El Abrazo, which is now in the collection of the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía.
At the beginning of his career, Genovés’ body of work was devoted to the subject of political engagement. His artistic development occurred in the isolated world of Franco’s Spain, where he was influenced by modern photography and cinema, and, like for Francis Bacon, the films of Sergei Eisenstein were a main source of influence.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[For nearly twenty years the Hubble Telescope has astonished us with its images of faraway cosmic objects and phenomena, bringing a revolution in universal perspective. The Hubble has produced a seemingly unending portfolio of a starry sublime – evoking mystical reveries and existential gasps. The infinite majesty of the universe is impossible to fully picture adequately in spite of the technological complexity of such a device. Paradoxically, for artists with far fewer resources but with an embracing imagination, evoking the cosmos can be as simple as drawing a line with a hovering star or sprinkling salt and pepper on photographic paper to conjure a photogram rendition of the Milky Way. In such images we intuitively understand the relationship suggested of a knowable and measurable world and the infinite space above. 

&quot;Celestial' is a show of five photographic artists whose work charms and prods our sense of wonder with astounding economy. Each artist approaches the impossible task of taking on the celestial infinite with very different sensibilities and materials: black and white analog photographs, muted but richly saturated color, collage, charcoal drawings based on negatives and video/performance.

Badt and Sherk's creative practice involves cultivating awareness of the qualities of specific spaces through the realignment of the senses. This installation concentrates on the &quot;stop and go&quot; of Midtown traffic outside the gallery, focusing on the pulse and energy of the city. A hanging string column cycles between stillness and movement, while real time video sonograms and spectrograms are projected on to the gallery walls making the sound of the intersection visual.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[During the Khrushchev’s cultural thaw, nonconformist art and literary movements, involving such figures and activities as Alexander Solzhenitsyn, Josef Brodsky and samizdat, had a great impact on the evolution of Russian photography in the 1970s, and laid the foundation for a new generation of photographers during glasnost and perestroika in the 1980s. Photographers in the exhibition challenged the government-prescribed optimistic style of socialist realism by photographing forbidden topics, and like other unofficial artists, they risked personal safety in pursuit for individual expression and freedom. In the 1970s, Boris Mikhailov, a pioneer of Russian conceptual photography, used the medium to reflect skepticism about both approved photography and the false realities it presented. By hand-coloring black-and-white prints in the Sots Art series, Mikhailov skillfully exploited the well-known inventory of socialist realist clichés. In 1971 Boris Smelov’s exhibition was cancelled due to censorship and accusation over the mystical and obscure quality of his cityscapes. During the pompous climate of the Brezhnev era of stagnation, Yuri Rybchinsky photographed with gritty realism a forced labor colony for young people (1978) exposing the painful aspects of its society. Nikolai Bakharev’s posed group portraits of families, friends or lovers, most of them barely dressed and taken either at a park picnic or at apartments, exploring the underlying morals of a Soviet province, while Vladimir Kuprianov took anonymous portraits from the provinces and printed them on crumpled paper in his “Mid-Russian Landscape” series (1988).

More generally, Alexander Lapin and Gennady Bodrov documented the deterioration of the Soviet system, poverty, and alienation. Alexey Titarenko’s photomontages from “Nomenklatura of Signs” (1986-1989) critiqued the Communist regime as an oppressive system that converted citizens into mere signs. Using his body as model, Andrey Chezhin’s “Black Square” series (1988) is both a self-portrait and homage to Malevich. By contrast, Igor Moukhin chose the emerging generation of Moskovites as his subject in his famous “Young People” (1985-1989) series. Taken together, the photographs in the exhibition chronicle an exciting time of change and signaled the end of the Soviet empire.

  <Description><![CDATA[The Austrian Cultural Forum New York is pleased to present this international group exhibition, curated by the Austrian-American team of Oliver Ressler and Gregory Sholette. The title derives from the slogan which in the early 1990s came to define then presidential candidate Bill Clinton’s campaign, “It’s the economy, stupid”.

The impending economic crisis that we face today has also become a major crisis for representative democracy. It’s the Political Economy, Stupid brings together an international group of artists who focus on the current crisis in a sustained and critical manner. Rather than acquiesce to the current calamity, the artworks, which include videos, photographs, installations, and a commissioned site-specific wall mural, ask whether it is time to push back against the disciplinary dictates of the capitalist logic and, by use of artistic means, launch a rescue of the very notion of the social itself.

  <Description><![CDATA[The exhibition features a group of recent paintings by the New York based artist Glenn Goldberg. Goldberg’s compositions  navigate between the abstract and  referential. They manifest as dreamscapes and otherworldly spheres, where explorations of the mythic are finely balanced through geometric and organic concerns.

At first glance, Goldberg’s shapes seem graphic and as clearly delineated as cut-outs. It is upon closer inspection however, that the gesture of a free hand can be traced and the visual vocabulary appears increasingly natural. Goldberg’s formations evoke cosmic constellations, solar systems, plant forms, and labyrinthine environments - they certainly always tell of lands far away. Meanwhile, rows made of miniature dots characterize each shape and tie the elements together like a stitched rhythmic code. The viewer can choose to focus on the overall pattern or to observe the relationships between shapes. It is this inherent dialogue between microscopic and macroscopic realities that provides Goldberg’s paintings with a unique sense of dynamism. Goldberg’s inspiration and interests are eclectic. A hint of craft, Tantric art, Persian miniatures, Turkish tile patterns, Shaker furniture, African rugs or the works of Richard Pousette-Dart, for example, find some resonance here. However, it is music that has had the most significant impact. Goldberg’s compositions are rhythmic in that they counter-balance structure, geometry and symmetry, with the freedom of the imagination.

  <Description><![CDATA[Hird explores her personal take on the creation myth focusing on the cosmic moment before the birth of man. In a bow to Genesis, she has paused the six-day origin myth to reflect on what the natural systems in all their promise of new wonder would look like. After years of working on projects in the political cauldron of the Middle East-- in the midst of cultural clashes, religious conflict, and endless rhetoric-- she felt overwhelmed and haunted. Lacking any belief system that made sense, she returned to the United States to create her own 'myth' and has dedicated the last two years to the re-enchantment of her own inner world.
 
Hird has taken the vast panoply of cultural imagery found in many different (and often competing) creation myths and has integrated them; interweaving their iconic patterns into an inseparable whole. She began with four elements-- earth, sky, water and wind -- with each making reference to the other. Painting in a seductively ritualized manner, Hird created her personal mythology; a complex world based on integrated systems. The collective result of which is an intricate landscape of symbols and experiences that is both appealing and seductive. It leaves behind verbiage and travels toward an intoxicating world of unspoken but deeply-felt mythology.

  <Description><![CDATA[Organized in conjunction with the exhibition &quot;Print/Out,&quot; &quot;Printin’&quot; takes as its starting point &quot;DeLuxe&quot; (2005), a tour de force portfolio of 60 works by Ellen Gallagher (American, b. 1965) that challenged traditional ideas of what a print could be. This technically complex work employs a veritable riot of mediums, unorthodox tools, and elements, from slicks of greasy pomade to plastic ice cubes. DeLuxe also offers a multivalent constellation of ideas, touching on such issues as portraiture, identity, history, advertising, commodity, and the disruption, translation, and recasting of space. Proposing a kind of technical dissection and conceptual unpacking of this portfolio, Printin’ brings together work by more than 50 artists from multiple disciplines in a sweeping chronology that extends from the 17th century to the present day, to propose a free-flowing yet incisive web of associations that are reflected in DeLuxe. Encompassing prints, drawings, films, books, photographs, sculptures, videos, and comic strips, the exhibition features such artists as Vija Celmins, David Hammons, George Herriman, Robert Rauschenberg, Martha Rosler, and many others, forming a dense network of formal, technical, and conceptual connections and intersections.

  <Description><![CDATA[Glasstress, The Museum of Arts and Design is proud to present Glasstress New York: New Art from the Venice Biennales an extraordinary international gathering of glass sculpture created in Murano at the studio of entrepreneur and mentor Adriano Berengo. Berengo, the founder of Venice Projects, has engaged artists, architects and designers from such diverse countries as the United States, China, Italy, Germany, The Netherlands, and Spain. The resulting works were originally commissioned for and presented at the Venice Biennials of 2009 and 2011. The pieces are dramatic and often provocative, ranging from independent sculptures to installations incorporating sounds and light to prototypes for production. The spirit of innovation and experimentation pervades the works in this exhibition; many of the artists and designers were given their first opportunity to work with this challenging medium, and in collaboration with the brilliantly capable master glass artisans assembled by Adriano Berengo.

  <Description><![CDATA[“Opulent Vision” includes a collection of works that highlight many parallels of the contemporary cultural landscape.  Spanning across disciplines from painting to sculpture to conceptual works on paper, the exhibition provides a look at a selection of fordPROJECT's inaugural roster of artists, with the debut of new voices. “Opulent Vision” presents unique perspectives that reflect historical ceremonies, mythical lands, and unique architectural environments.  The exhibition will fill the gallery’s penthouse space with vivid colors, rich wallpaper, paintings of inspired interiors, and a site-specific installation. 

Also on view is the video program “What One Sees Is Not Seen,” curated by Alfredo Hertzog. In the presentation, Hertzog brings together a selection of videos to exemplify the ways in which contemporary artists approach various forms of presentation.  Works range from the dream-like imagery of Pipilotti Rist, to the politically fueled films of Mateo Maté and Hans Op de Beeck.  Other artists include Mauricio Alejo, Adriana Bustos, Cabello/Carcelle, Filipa César, Goldiechiari, Cao Guimarães, Kaoru Katayama, Jorge Macchi, Antoni Muntadas, and Kamen Stoyanov.

The opening of “Opulent Vision” also marks the second installment of the ongoing collaboration between fordPROJECT and BLACKLOTS.  A selection of artworks from BLACKLOTS’ inventory will be on view to enhance and complement fordPROJECT’s exhibition program.

  <Description><![CDATA[Organized in conjunction with the exhibition &quot;Print/Out,&quot; Print Studio is an interactive space that explores the evolution of artistic practices relating to the medium of print. The studio offers a series of drop-in workshops, lectures, and events that emphasize accessible and sustainable models for the production and dissemination of ideas. Drawing from resources such as the Reanimation Library (based in the Gowanus area of Brooklyn)—a collection of discarded books acquired for their visual content—and a variety of print techniques, participants are invited to experiment with and manipulate images and text. Artist- and educator-led activities highlight the ways in which new digital technologies incorporate traditional printing practices, reimagining the role of print in contemporary visual culture.
Programs are free unless otherwise noted. Participation is on a first-come, first-served basis. Open to all ages. Children must be accompanied by an adult.

  <Description><![CDATA[For at least forty thousand years, in virtually all cultures, humans have worn objects of symbolic, decorative, and amuletic value around their necks. Ranging in length from chokers to rope necklaces that hang below the waist, and in form from simple pendants to elaborate sculptural collars and breastplates, necklaces are strategically positioned beneath the face to draw attention to themselves, enhancing the wearer's allure, power, or status and showcasing the maker's artistic skills.

The unique works on display in Hanging Around are from the Museum of Arts and Design's jewelry collection. Dating from the 1960s to the present, these artistic creations encompass conceptual approaches ranging from the decorative to the provocatively political. Some of the necklaces on view feature precious metals and rare gemstones, but others derive their impact from materials as unconventional as pig intestines, gun triggers, mustard seeds, LED lighting, black coral, butterfly wings, phone directories, mirrors and lenses. The fabrication techniques employed by the artists are as different as traditional goldsmithing and cutting-edge digital prototyping.

The Museum of Arts and Design's collection of contemporary jewelry is one of the finest in the world. Established in 1956 with important gifts from generous donors, MAD's jewelry collection continues to grow each year through the acquisition of new and exciting artworks that embody uniqueness in their aesthetic and intellectual ideas along with superior workmanship and the innovative use of materials in their execution.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[This group exhibition features work by Fountain Gallery artists and by artists with mental illness from three other non-profit organizations based in New York City, participating through The Fountain Gallery Visiting Artists Program: HAI, The Living Museum, and Services for the UnderServed. &quot;MAKE. BELIEVE.&quot; is curated by Frank Maresca.
 
&quot;Basically, art for me falls into two categories. That which is effective, and that which is less effective. It is all about communication,&quot; said Maresca, co-owner of Ricco/Maresca Gallery. “Many of the artists in this show do not have the questionable benefit of academic training or an art historical background. However, they still have a lot to say. The art emanates from life experiences that are often harsh and unique, creating an overwhelming desire to reach out and make their stories known. The medium that they have chosen is art, and the message is powerful.&quot; Maresca has championed the work of artists communicating outside of the academic mainstream for the last 30 years; the mission of Ricco/Maresca Gallery has always been to blur the lines between the so called high and low.

  <Description><![CDATA[The gallery is pleased to present this two-person exhibition featuring works on paper and canvas by James Brooks and fluorescent light sculptures by Dan Flavin.

This exhibition pairs these visually disparate bodies of work by exploring the mutual professional respect and friendship Brooks and Flavin had for one another, demonstrated through correspondence, curation of exhibitions and dedication of artworks. While Brooks’ painterly Abstract Expressionist tableaux vary tremendously from Flavin’s controlled, conceptually driven Minimalist light sculptures, both artists paid particular attention to color and the application of their media on the base surface whether paper, canvas or wall.

  <Description><![CDATA[The gallery is pleased to present a retrospective of the works on paper by Fanny Sanín. The Colombian-born, now American artist is best known for her symmetrical, geometric abstract paintings in oil and acrylic on canvas. This exhibition provides an illuminating history and insights into the methodical process leading to Sanin's larger paintings on canvas. While each drawing can be appreciated on its own, the suites of drawings that she generates for each of her final composition evince her intricate thought process using a variety of drawing media on paper to build her final compositions. This exhibition project has been organized by New York independent art curator and writer Patterson Sims.

  <Description><![CDATA[This survey of experimental art and design magazines published since 2000 explores the various ways in which contemporary artists and designers utilize the magazine format as an experimental space for the presentation of artworks and text. Throughout the 20th century, international avant-garde activities in the visual arts and design were often codified first in the informal context of a magazine or journal. This exhibition, drawn from the holdings of the MoMA Library, follows the practice into the 21st century. The works on view represent a broad array of international titles within this genre, from community-building newspapers to image-only photography magazines to conceptual design projects. The contents illustrate a diverse range of image-making, editing, design, printing, and distribution practices. There are obvious connections to the past lineage of artists’ magazines and little architecture and design magazines of the 20th century, as well as a clear sense of the application of new techniques of image-editing and printing methods. Assembled together, these contemporary magazines provide a first-hand view into these practices and represents the MoMA Library’s sustained effort to document and collect this medium.

  <Description><![CDATA[The exhibition features recent sculptures in bronze, corten steel, wood, cast iron, and stone.

Tony Cragg is one of the most distinguished contemporary sculptors working today. Cragg’s work developed within the context of diverse influences including early experiences in a scientific laboratory; English landscape and time-based art, a precursor to the presenting of found objects and fragments that characterized early performative work; and Minimalist sculpture, an antecedent to the stack, additive and accumulation works of the mid-seventies. Cragg has widened the boundaries of sculpture with a dynamic and investigative approach to materials, to images, and objects in the physical world, and an early use of found industrial objects and fragments.

The current exhibition presents recent innovations and diversifications of this visual morphology. One of the legacies of &quot;Early Forms,&quot; how one vessel can transform into another and in its alteration reveal its interior space, is brought to life in &quot;Cubic Early Form,&quot; 2010 and &quot;Turning Point,&quot; 2011, as is the intricate choreography of interlocked forms and negative/positive space in &quot;Lost in Thought,&quot; or the complex shapes cut from wood in &quot;Chip&quot;, 2011. The motif of sequentially mutating silhouettes that have appeared in recent works are present in &quot;Hollow Head,&quot; 2008, alongside the complex elliptical and axial stacked constructions that began with &quot;Rational Beings.&quot; Here they extend as if to incorporate speed and rhythmic, elastic motion in &quot;Red Figure,&quot; 2009 and &quot;Runner,&quot; 2011; are layered and heaped in &quot;Accurate Figure,&quot; 2011 and &quot;Thumbs Up,&quot; 2011; or coalesce into families of striking multiple columnar forms as in &quot;Group,&quot; 2011 and &quot;Versus,&quot; 2011.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Curated by Belarus-born Olga Kopenkina, this exhibition brings together nine of the most active young artists from Belarus, and their videos, posters, paintings and installations created in solidarity with popular protests against the December 2010 rigged election and state-sanctioned crime that unfolded in its aftermath. Belarus President Lukashenka usurped governmental control seventeen years ago, and proceeded to turn Belarus, a once culturally vibrant country re-establishing its identity after the fall of the Soviet Union, into a repressed and stagnant dictatorship. In December 2010, accusations against falsified presidential elections brought rise to a wave of peaceful protests throughout the country, which were reacted strongly against by the police and the government through violence, mass arrests, unlawful trials for the oppositional leaders and activists, and long jail terms. 
 
Young artists in Belarus responded strongly to the fast growing protest movement with new and bold expression-actions that have been gaining visibility throughout Europe despite the governments efforts to silence them. This is the generation of artists who grew up under the dictatorship of Lukashenka and now many of them have found brazen voices that enable them to take giant risks, challenging the status quo while faced with the constant threat of arrest and the fate of political exile. &quot;Sound of Silence&quot; is the first exhibition in New York City that surveys the recent and powerful activities coming from this generation of Belarusian artists. It presents a range of installation, documentation and objects: from the work generated by the collective www.antibrainwash.net, an artists-run activist website, which features radical protest posters and materials that can be downloaded, printed and distributed; to Marina Naprushkina's constantly morphing installation &quot;The Office of Anti-Propaganda,&quot; that presents images, objects, slogans and video footage exploring the illusory reality the Belarus government created through public campaign; to documentation of Ales Pushkin's outlandish staged performance protests delivered to the President, police, and other officials that led him to immediate and constant arrest; to the Minsk-based group FAU's &quot;Monopoly: The Belarusian Edition&quot;  that addresses the dominance of economics over politics and culture, when the players assume the roles of government officials and winning depends upon being the most corrupt; to Yauheni Shadko's expressionistic narrative paintings of recent political events.

  <Description><![CDATA[The gallery presents a group of paintings and works on paper by the New York based artist Victoria Neel. With an occasional affinity for the bizarre, Neel reinvestigates figurative expressionism. Though her style consciously borders on the naïve, her clear-eyed depictions of people, animals and mythic scenarios are far from innocent. She is particularly interested in contrasts. In her work, beauty and destruction, capture and flight, as well as loss and gain are always in close proximity.

In this complex installation of over 30 works from the past decade, Neel explores a concept she refers to as “Birds without Sky”. Many of the compositions feature antique airplanes on the ground or in mid-air, as well as urban pigeons. All these winged creatures, be they of mechanical or natural make up, serve as metaphors for dislocation and metamorphosis. While the pigeons are often considered a nuisance in the cities, Neel bestows them with iconic stature. Set against crisp white or black backgrounds, they transform into dignified reminders that we all are creatures of the same universe.

  <Description><![CDATA[The Mantle, in collaboration with art@apt, present “To Be or Not To Be,” an exhibition featuring five Burmese artists, hosted by Gallery35 in New York City. 
 
The featured artists include Aung Zaw Tun, Kyain Lin Naing, Kyawswar Thant, Min Kyaw Khine, and Chaw Ei Thein. Collectively their work has hung in galleries and venues throughout the New York City region, Asia, and Europe.
 
“To Be or Not To Be” seeks to capture the ambiguous nature of being Burmese not only in New York, but also in an increasingly globalized world. Is there an obligation for the Burmese artist to be vocal about injustices occurring back home? “This exhibition is a stage for me to say something loudly,” says Chaw Ei Thein. “I can channel a ‘voice’ for those people who cannot express themselves not only from Burma, but also all over the world.” Adds Min Kyaw Khine: “I want to let people know what is happening in Burma. I want Burmese people to live without fear—that is why I am participating in this show.”
 
For the participating artists, their artistic fever burns as hot as their political concerns. “After a few years living outside of Burma, I’ve come to see things differently… more artistically. I want you to see what I’ve seen and what I’ve been thinking,” says Kyawswar Thant.
 
Burma (Myanmar) is experiencing significant political change. Nobel Peace Prize winner Aung San Suu Kyi has been released from prison, alongside hundreds of political prisoners. Recently U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton visited the secretive country, and Suu Kyi’s political party, the National League for Democracy, has been given clearance to participate in upcoming elections. 2012 could be a formative year for the South East Asian country.
 
For Burmese artists, the time to ask “To Be or Not To Be” is now.]]></Description>
