  <Description><![CDATA[Louis Comfort Tiffany (American, 1848-1933) was one of the foremost decorative artists of his time. His father, Charles Lewis Tiffany, was the co-founder of Tiffany &amp; Company, the luxury retailer best known for fine silver and jewelry. At an early age Tiffany was exposed to superbly-designed and expertly-crafted objets d’art, undoubtedly stimulating his love and appreciation for exceptional objects and setting him on a self-proclaimed “quest for beauty.”

Tiffany began his career as a landscape painter but eventually branched out into interior design and the decorative arts. Over the years he formed a number of companies in both Manhattan and Queens that manufactured leaded-glass windows, lamps, mosaics, glassware, enamels, ceramics, metalwork, furniture, and textiles. These works were available at his Manhattan showroom and in fine retail and jewelry stores throughout the United States and Europe.

Tiffany embarked on the production of lamps in the early 1890s. Although the light bulb was patented in 1879, electricity was not widely available until shortly after the turn of the century and even then only the wealthy could afford it. Tiffany’s earliest lamps, made of blown glass or leaded-glass and bronze, were fueled by kerosene. As electric light became affordable and gained popularity, Tiffany began offering his clients the choice of either oil or electric lamps.

One of the earliest serious collectors of Tiffany lamps, Dr. Neustadt assembled an encyclopedic collection which included desk, reading, library, and floor lamps as well as hanging shades and chandeliers. He also added leaded-glass windows and bronze desk sets to his collection. In 1967, he acquired some 500 crates of sheet and pressed glass made and used by the Tiffany Studios which were left over after the company went bankrupt in the early 1930s.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Tiffany: The Glass, an installation of two windows, eleven lamp shades, and more than two hundred examples of sheet glass, explores some of the remarkable patterns, textures, and colors of opalescent glass used by the Tiffany Studios. This exhibition is the first of its kind and focuses on the beauty and diversity of the material used in the creation of spectacular leaded-glass windows, lamps, and mosaics produced under Louis Comfort Tiffany’s artistic direction.

This display highlights some of the most commonly used types of sheet glass produced at the Tiffany Furnaces in Corona, Queens, as well as glass purchased from commercial glass manufactures. The lamps and windows included in the exhibition demonstrate the ways in which these distinctive materials were used to replicate the details of the natural world.

  <Description><![CDATA[In 1937, New York City was in preparation for the 1939's World's Fair, the first of two in Flushing Meadows Corona Park. To celebrate the immense and intricate inner-workings of the City, various agencies were invited to produce exhibitions for the New York City Pavilion (now the Queens Museum of Art). The Board of Water Supply (today's Department of Environmental Protection) commissioned the Cartographic Survey Force of the Works Progress Administration to create a magnificent scale model of the New York City watershed, a relief map measuring almost 700 square feet and weighing 10,000 pounds. Tracing the City's water supply system from the outermost, upstream tributaries of the Delaware River to sea level at the Nassau County line, the watershed model identified the various aqueducts, water shafts and drainage basins that feed the City's water supply.

qmaDue to space limitations within the New York City Pavilion, the model was never exhibited in its entirety. After nearly 70 years in storage, the 27 completed panels were in desperate need of conservation. Through a collaboration between The Queens Museum of Art and the Department of Environmental Protection, the plaster and wood relief map was sent to McKay Lodge Fine Arts Conservation Lab in Oberlin, Ohio for one year of treatment. In time for its 70th anniversary, the model has been restored to its original brilliance and returns to its intended home in the New York City Building where it will remain on long-term loan. In celebration, the QMA and DEP will commemorate this momentous homecoming with an exhibition featuring the model, historic documentation, and contemporary photographs of the New York City watershed.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Surasi Kusolwong (Thai, b. 1965) makes installations and performances that reference consumer society and the economy. Through his participatory and interactive works the Bangkok-based artist encourages social interaction over economic exchange. His large-scale installation Golden Ghost (The Future Belongs To Ghosts) (2011), which was first presented in the Creative Time exhibition Living as Form, invites visitors to enter into the vast field of industrial thread waste to search for gold necklaces hidden in the piles of cotton. Visitors who are fortunate enough to find a necklace are welcome to keep it. The work suggests a sense of play in which visitors can climb the mounds of thread waste, comb through the material and explore. While the literal treasure hunt in a field of excess serves as a metaphor for consumption at the global and individual level, it also inverts standard systems of exchange—the expensive gold necklaces are not sold nor bartered, but generously given away.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Each year, fellowship artists are awarded a grant and a residency in the Park's outdoor studio and are also provided with technical support and access to tools, materials and equipment to facilitate the production of new sculptures for exhibition in the Park.  The artists develop their projects throughout the summer in the open studio and landscape.  The diverse sculptural works that emerge represent a broad range of materials, working methods and subject matter and are presented against the spectacular waterfront view of the Manhattan skyline.

  <Description><![CDATA[Opening on September 10 is an installation by Washington DC-based artist, Patrick McDonough.  Titled Awning Studies: SOCRATES, 2011, the piece is the culmination of a three-month Public Art Residency (PAR).  The PAR Program was established in partnership with the Washington Project for the Arts (WPA) to support artists in the District of Columbia area and is an extension of the Park's ongoing Open Space series, (a forum for single artist and collaborative projects). 

Awning Studies: SOCRATES, 2011 continues Patrick's exploration of the awning as a key architectural adornment and as central to the domestic vernacular of the northeastern United States.  His project takes the form of a series of fabricated awnings without buildings: some installed in tress, some arching over the water, and others rising on a combination of steel and clear acrylic supports.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Home to The Noguchi Museum and Socrates Sculpture Park, the Queens community where northern Long Island City and Astoria converge is a textured, mixed industrial and residential community.  A resident since 1960, Isamu Noguchi was joined in the neighborhood by fellow artist and sculptor Mark di Suvero ten years later.  Throughout his career, Isamu Noguchi collaborated with many architects, designers and civic thinkers on various public projects and in 1985, realized his vision of a single artist museum in Long Island City.  One year later, di Suvero established neighboring Socrates Sculpture Park as an ongoing laboratory for art.  More than 25 years later, the realized visions of these two renowned artists--and the spaces they transformed--have brought international attention to the area.  

In response to this neighborhood, now undergoing significant change, The Noguchi Museum and Socrates Sculpture Park have forged an alliance through Civic Action: A Vision for Long Island City.  Four artists known for their work in the public sphere were invited to form individual teams featuring an architect or planner to conceive new approaches to development in this area of Long Island City that Noguchi and di Suvero helped to shape.  Artists Natalie Jeremijenko, Mary Miss, Rirkrit Tiravanija and George Trakas have explored visionary scenarios that would enable the community to continue to coexist alongside the light manufacturing and residential communities inherent to the area.  The outcome of this eight month process will be displayed at The Noguchi Museum through April 22, 2012.  Further realized components of each team’s proposals will be exhibited at Socrates Sculpture Park in May 2012.  ]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[For his first exhibition at a New York museum, Clifford Owens (American, b. 1971) presents a new project Anthology, which is comprised of photography, video, and live performance.

Anthology features performances scores—written or graphical instructions for actions—that Owens solicited from a multigenerational group of African-American artists. Twenty-six major artists have contributed scores, nearly all of whom composed new works specifically for Owens and his project.

Owens has long known that African-American performance art has been under-recognized and that its history remains largely unwritten. Rather than producing scholarly research on the topic, Owens has created an unprecedented compendium of African-American performance that is both highly personal and historical in nature.

During the summer of 2011, Owens had studio space at MoMA PS1 and made use of the entire building to enact the performance scores, which range from vague commands to highly choreographed movements and actions. On a weekly basis, Owens performed in various locations including the basement boiler room, rooftop, and attic. Through Owens' subjective reading of each score, he underscores the mutability and elastic nature of the sets of instructions.  The resulting photographs, videos, and objects will be presented in the exhibition. The artist will also perform selected scores live throughout the course of the show.

Anthology scores have been contributed by artists including Derrick Adams, Terry Adkins, Sanford Biggers, Aisha Cousins, Sherman Fleming, Coco Fusco, Charles Gaines, Malik Gaines, Rico Gatson, Rashawn Griffin, Lyle Ashton Harris, Maren Hassinger, Steffani Jemison, Jennie C. Jones, Nsenga A. Knight, Glenn Ligon, Dave McKenzie, Senga Nengudi, Lorraine O'Grady, Benjamin Patterson, William Pope.L, Jacolby Satterwhite, Xaviera Simmons, Shinique Smith, Kara Walker, and Saya Woolfalk.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Fisher Landau Center for Art presents an exhibition exploring a wide range of Donald Baechler's artwork in two and three dimensions, created over the last 25 years. In the mid 1980's, the subject matter of his large-scale paintings began quite literally to jump off the walls, transforming into monumental bronze sculptures. Installed on two floors of the Center, the exhibition is made up of work from Fisher Landau Center for Art, supplemented by work from Donald Baecher's personal collection, highlighting the interplay of recurring motifs as they transform from the painted surface to objects in space.

Born in Hartford, Connecticut in 1956, Baechler's artistic training took place in New York, Baltimore, and Germany. In the early 80s, Baechler came into prominence alongside Basquiat, Haring, Condo and the German artists - Dokoupil and Kippenberger. He has exhibited internationally since the outset of his career and is renowned for a distinctive practice, evoking a child-like fascination with cultural symbols and commonplace elements. Emily Fisher Landau began collecting his artwork in 1985 with the purchase of &quot;Globe&quot;, 1984/85, a 52 inch square canvas whose surface is made with acrylic, cotton, paper &amp; rhoplex. Since that time Mrs. Landau has added close to 30 pieces, comprising a selection of painting, sculpture &amp; works on paper that form a cohesive cross section of Baechler's thematic vocabulary.

Included in the installation are &quot;Priceless, Wordless, Loveless&quot;, 1987-88, (111 x 111 inches), exhibited in the 1989 Whitney Biennial, a painting on linen that became the inspiration for &quot;Tree&quot;, 1988, one of Baechler's first sculptures cast in bronze. Other paintings on display include &quot;Deep North&quot;, 1989, also included in the 1989 Whitney Biennial, a seminal example of his textural layering process using acrylic, oil and fabric collage on linen, as well as &quot;Autonomy or Anarchy #1&quot; (102 ½ x 117 3/4 inches) &amp; &quot;Autonomy or Anarchy #2&quot; (99 x 114 inches), both 2003, enormous works on paper depicting disembodied horse heads, facing each other and floating on a frenetic field of collaged paper and fabric, and mounted to linen. &quot;Scarecrow&quot;, 2006, (136 x 70 x 37 inches) a towering bronze installed on the outdoor entry ramp, welcomes the viewers to the Center with a passive demeanor that belies its aggressive scale. The third floor gallery presents an oversized landscape made up of Baechler's bronze &quot;Plants&quot;, 2003-04 and &quot;Flowers&quot;, 2003-07, ranging in size up to seven feet tall. Forming a progression in space, they lead to &quot;Bather (large version)&quot;, 1997 (78 x 66 x 60 inches), a fountain of cast bronze featuring an archetypal Baechler figure, immersed in an enormous water-filled bucket.

Housed in a former parachute harness factory, Fisher Landau Center for Art was designed by Max Gordon in association with Bill Katz and is devoted to the exhibition and study of the contemporary art collection of Emily Fisher Landau. The core of the 1500 work collection spans 1960 to the present and contains key works by artists who have shaped the most significant art of the last 50 years. Emily Fisher Landau's insightful selection of works by contemporary masters, many of which she purchased from the artists at the outset of their careers, is reflected in exhibitions presented at Fisher Landau Center for Art. Her ongoing commitment to emerging artists extends to the annual presentation of the Columbia University School of Visual Arts MFA Thesis Exhibition. In May of 2010, Mrs. Landau made a historic pledge of 417 artworks by nearly 100 artists, to the Whitney Museum of American Art. Excerpts from &quot;Legacy&quot; a traveling exhibition that highlights the gift to the Whitney Museum, will be on view at the Center concurrently with Donald Baechler: Painting &amp; Sculpture.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Rania Stephan (Lebanese, b. 1960) has been working with film for the last two decades. Stephan's body of work may at first appear perplexingly heterogeneous—ranging from video art to raw documentary—yet its underlying coherence stems from her country of origin, Lebanon, which stands at a crossroads of cultures and influences, East and West, and remains a place of both exile and return. Stephan focuses on what she calls &quot;the archaeology of images, identity, and memory.&quot; 

This presentation of Stephan's most recent work, The Three Disappearances of Soad Hosni (2011), is the first in a New York institution, following its premier at the 10th Sharjah Biennial (2011), where it won The Artist Prize. It is an elegiac installation about the career and mythology of the renowned Egyptian actress and star Soad Hosni (1943-2001)—who, in 2001, allegedly committed suicide in London. Structured like a three-act classical tragedy, The Three Disappearances of Soad Hosni appropriates footage from more than sixty VHS copies of the feature films in which Hosni starred between 1959 and 1991. By montaging scenes from the format in which most of Hosni's fans experienced her films, Stephan proposes a singular and poetic rewriting of a lost golden age of Egyptian cinema. Irreverent, playful, and serious, Stephan's work reexamines the legacy of complex representations of the modern Arab woman.    ]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Frank Oscar Larson (1896-1964) was born in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, of Swedish immigrant parents and lived in Flushing, Queens most of his life. As an adult, Larson spent his days at a branch of the Empire Trust Company (now Bank of New York Mellon), working his way up through the ranks from auditor to vice-president, and spare time on weekends taking photographs of street life throughout New York City. He was an accomplished photographer who eloquently documented 1950s Chinatown, the Bowery, Hell’s Kitchen, City Island, Times Square, Central Park, and much more. This exhibition is compiled from thousands of negatives recently discovered stored away in his daughter-in-law’s house in Maine in 2009. Soren Larson, his grandson and a television news camera man and producer, has been scanning and printing the 55 year old images found stored in over 100 envelopes filled with mostly medium format, 2-1/4 x 2-1/4″ negatives, and neatly noted by location and date in Larson’s own hand.

According to Soren Larson, “Photographs dating back to the 1920s attest to the fact that he was always the family shutterbug. But it wasn’t until the early 1950s that Frank’s passion for photography blossomed. By 1949 both of his sons had left home, and perhaps this new situation, no longer having kids at home freed him up on the weekends to delve into photography with a passion.” For the next ten years, weekend expeditions around New York with his beloved Rolleiflex Automat Model 4 camera around his neck, produced thousands of images which he developed in a basement darkroom. Some were printed and entered in photography competitions where he won awards, but most remained undiscovered until the cardboard box of negatives that had been packed away since Frank’s death in 1964, was found.

Larson was an avid, empathetic observer of the life of the streets, and in his eyes, the mundane becomes miraculous. Larson documents the changing face of New York City in Under the El, Park Row, perhaps a subtle self portrait taken in a dramatically composed photograph under the El just prior to its being demolished. Times Square and Chinatown were some of his favorite haunts, at once photogenic and atmospheric, alluring and even alien. Times Square was notoriously illuminated by countless numbers of incandescent light bulbs on the theater marquees and advertising signs. A state of “permanent daylight” made the use of flash unnecessary at night, allowing the photographer to merge into the crowd. Larson achieved a great intimacy and immediacy in unguarded, candid shots such as the evocative, worm’s eye view of Johnny Guitar 1 taken in front of the Brandt’s Mayfair theater showing the film of the same title starring Joan Crawford, and the eerie Ticket Booth at the Brandt Lyric theater, the ticket taker’s face neatly framed in a small round hole in the curved glass booth, masked with dark sunglasses against the blinding lights.

The everyday person is honored in candid portraits of “working stiffs” — policemen, shoe repair men and shoeshine boys, chefs, painters, souvenir and balloon sellers, and husky men hoisting beer barrels – as honest an appraisal of the human condition as any photograph taken by Walker Evans, Atget, Robert Frank, Berenice Abbott or Brassai. In Grand Central Station’s waiting room, a father muses with a doll and boxed gifts next to him on the bench, reveal a solitary moment in the urban maelstrom of rush hour in Midtown. Portraits of children at play in Flushing or Williamsburg recall familiar images by Helen Levitt and Diane Arbus in their fresh directness. Other striking and timeless images such as AP Window show business men huddled in front of the day’s news at the AP Building at Rockefeller Center in 1955, taken just blocks away from Larson’s daily work at the Empire Trust Company, while in School Girls, four pretty young women relax outside in an intimate, almost vulnerable portrait.

Personal memorabilia and family photographs include a charming shot of Larson’s sons, Franklin and David, taken at the Kodak Pavilion at the 1939 New York World’s Fair where they are posed for the “Kodak moment” with a miniature Trylon and Perisphere. Sadly, on the way to visit the New York World’s Fair in 1964, Larson suffered a stroke and passed away, of complications suffered in WWI due to exposure to mustard gas as a young man.

Larson’s own camera equipment – two Rolleiflex Automat Model 4 cameras using 2-1/4 x 2-1/4″ medium format film, lens, filters and light meter, will be included in the exhibition as well.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[SculptureCenter presents the In Practice program exhibition You never look at me from the place from which I see you. Featuring works by A.K. Burns, Yve Laris Cohen, Michael DeLucia, Aleksandra Domanović, Takashi Horisaki, Sean Raspet, Christine Rebet, and Keith Connolly, Ethan Ham, and Tom Thayer, the exhibition is curated by Kristen Chappa, SculptureCenter's Curatorial Associate.

You never look at me from the place from which I see you is organized around investigations into vision and location within our present moment, characterized by dispersed attention and spatial deterritorialization. In this current era of technological, cultural, and geopolitical exchange, what constitutes a site is more in flux than ever before, and the act of looking has perhaps never been more fragmented. This constellation of artists engages with scattered states that are prismatic and overwhelmed as a contextual given and an appropriate lens through which to consider contemporary relationships, interactions, and identities, and a means to arrive at revised notions of sculptural phenomenology.

SculptureCenter's In Practice program supports the creation and presentation of new work by emerging artists and reflects diverse approaches to contemporary sculpture. Artists are selected through a call for proposals and are provided with an honorarium, production budget, fabrication and installation assistance, as well as invaluable curatorial and administrative support. This year SculptureCenter received over 850 applications from artists worldwide. 

Artist Biographies: 
Aleksandra Domanović is a multimedia artist from the former Yugoslavia currently working in Berlin. Her art is informed by archival models and her observation of collective history and shared memories. Most of her works are derived from online sources and inflected by her transnational experience living in Serbia, Slovenia, Japan, Austria, and Germany. She has recently completed residencies at Tobacna 001 (Ljubljana), Western Front (Vancouver), and is currently in residence at Kunstlerhaus Bethanien. 

A.K. Burns is a New York-based interdisciplinary artist whose practice encompasses sculpture, video, collage, and social performances. Her work is engaged with queer and feminist politics exploring such themes as fetish, power relations, assimilation, and separatism. Burns received a BFA from RISD and an MFA from Bard College. She is a founding member of W.A.G.E. (Working Artists and the Greater Economy), and co-editor of RANDY, an annual trans-feminist arts magazine. 

Yve Laris Cohen recently received his MFA from Columbia, and is currently a resident at Movement Research in New York. Cohen is an interdisciplinary artist, whose performances and sculptures address shifting subjectivities and power relationships among human bodies and objects. Influenced by the Judson Theater and his training as a classical ballet dancer, Cohen's dance pieces explore ballet as a form of manual labor rather than an elite spectacle. 

Michael DeLucia received his MFA from the Royal College of Art, London, and a BFA from RISD. His current artistic practice comprises relief panels, sculptures, and drawings modeled with 3D CAD software. These objects, digitally designed and mechanically painted with geometric patterns in industrial hues, reevaluate sculptural phenomenology. He has recently exhibited at Eleven Rivington (New York) and Luce Gallery (Torino). 

In his sculptures, performances, and community-based, socially engaged projects, Japanese-born and New York-based artist Takashi Horisaki investigates subjects ranging from urban development and social architectures, to political and environmental crises, to the intertwined nature of virtual and physical experiences. Relating landscape to the preserved surfaces of the built environment, Horisaki seeks an awareness of the ephemerality of our constructions and their incorporation within systems of the natural world. He has previously exhibited at Socrates Sculpture Park and ABC No Rio. 

Sean Raspet's work focuses on circularities of time and logic that operate across multiple spheres of everyday life. Most of his projects explore late-capitalist culture, and are composed of fragmented, rearranged, and repeated images and reflections of banal spaces. He is currently pursuing an MFA at UCLA. Raspet's past solo exhibitions include Societe (Berlin), The Kitchen (New York), and Daniel Reich Gallery (New York). 

Christine Rebet is a French artist living in New York, whose practice combines drawing, film, sculpture, and performance. In her brand of social critique, Rebet addresses the traumas of personal and collective histories; she comments on spectacle, spectatorship, and the intersection of public and private spheres. Rebet completed an MFA at Columbia in 2011. She is also a recent recipient of the Lotos Foundation Prize in the Arts and Sciences. 

The Spaniard and the Hudson Eel will be the first artistic collaboration by Keith Connolly, Ethan Ham, and Tom Thayer. Keith Connolly is a founding member of The No-Neck Blues Band (NNCK), a seven piece improvised music collective based in New York for the past 15 years. Ethan Ham is a visual artist and former game developer teaching new media at the City College of New York. Tom Thayer is a visual artist currently working in New York City; he has most recently exhibited at The Kitchen.

  <Description><![CDATA[Following the March 11, 2011 earthquake, the artist collective Chim↑Pom traveled to Soma City, Fukushima where they made friends with local youths—many of whom had lost their homes and loved ones, and were living among the destruction and radiation that accompanied the earthquake and subsequent destabilization of the nearby nuclear reactor. In response to the disaster they conducted a sequence of one hundred KI-AI. KI-AI is martial arts term describing a way to collect and direct one’s inner energy through exhalation or vocalization before attacking. Chim↑Pom plays on the idea by focusing the group’s energy through collective action which was video recorded. MoMA PS1 presents the resulting two-channel work KI-AI 100 (100 Cheers).

Unlike other areas that featured in many media reports, Soma City suffered from a shortage of volunteers, exacerbating the radiation-related problems and delaying the cleanup. The local youths, themselves victims of the quake, provided relief and aid towards reconstruction. Chim↑Pom explains, “This is the KI-AI shouted from the bottom of their hearts, in the midst of sorrow and delight, by those who live simultaneously as victim and aid worker. This is their reality!!”]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Video&lt;&gt;Object  explores the relationships between Video Art and narcissism; Hegarty cites Rosalind Kraus's essay as expressing the thought that gave rise to the present exhibition:  &quot;[Video's] real medium is a psychological situation, the very terms of which are to withdraw attention from an external object -an Other- and invest it in the Self.&quot;  He further explains that the 'psychological situation' Kraus refers to is one of near pathology - narcissism as the characteristic condition of video art.

Yet, the artists in Video&lt;&gt;Object - Nancy Davidson, Yasue Maetake, Halsey Rodman, Jeanne Silverthorne, and Moira Williams - expand the defining narcissism of video art by reframing it. Narcissism, in a torqued return of the look, is scrutinized by these artists through oblique glances, fluidly drifting back and forth across the porous boundaries of Self and Other. They are engaged in a duel between the giddy pleasure in the self and the impossibility of saying &quot;this is not me.&quot;

About the Curator:  Originally from London, Laurence  Hegarty has lived in New York for more than two decades. Though initially trained as an artist, Hegarty's interests have wandered over the years leading him to pursue film studies and  psychoanalysis as partners in the conversation that shapes his writing, curatorial work and studio practice.  Trained as a psychotherapist, Hegarty now maintains a private practice in  New York City.  Though  the disciplines -studio art, writing, curating and psychoanalysis- are not integrated in  any way,  it is the  overlaps and collisions between them that  shape Hegarty's  art- making, writing and curatorial practice.

  <Description><![CDATA[Fifteen Islands for Robert Moses is a site-specific art infiltration into the Panorama of the City of New York, which was built for the 1964 World’s Fair by urban planner Robert Moses and is now a centerpiece of the Queens Museum of Art. Artist and theorist Greg Sholette made and placed new islands about the Panorama’s waterways, where they exist as silent, post-9/11 observers of the City’s past, present, and future. Modeled in the same style as the Panorama, each island represents Sholette’s interpretation of a question he posed to a group of other artists and art theorists: “If you could add an island to New York City, what would that new landmass be like?” Touching on issues from environmental and economic justice to the overflowing archives of human memory and immigrant’s rights, the new fantasy islands interrupt the familiar geography of the Panorama, subtly haunting a favorite destination for students, tourists, and urban planners. Surrounding the Panorama is a series of posters about the project’s participating collaborators: Hana Shams Ahmed, Brett Bloom, Larry Bogad, Marc Fischer, Aaron Gach/Center for Tactical Magic, Libertad Guerra, Dara Greenwald, Marisa Jahn, Karl Lorac/Themm!, Ann Messner, Ted Purves, Rasha Salti, Dread Scott and Jenny Polak, Jeffrey Skoller, and Nato Thompson. ]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[SculptureCenter presents Scene, Hold, Ballast a two person exhibition with David Maljkovic and Lucy Skaer, artists whose work shares an engagement with sculpture, film, and distinct approaches to exhibition design. Scene, Hold, Ballast conceived as a dialog, will feature new works by Maljkovic and Skaer commissioned through SculptureCenter's Artist in Residence program. This exhibition is guest curated by Fionn Meade. 

Scene, Hold, Ballast will feature new works by Maljkovic and Skaer that further explore affinities and correspondences in their respective practices. In an ongoing series Temporary Projections Cycle, David Maljkovic's retrospective mode of tracing and negotiation is turned toward his own studio practice, its history, and imagined futures, including new works in film, painting, and sculpture. And Lucy Skaer continues her transformation of existing artifacts and architecture with a new 35mm film, a photographic series and related sculptures. Both artists have repeatedly explored what it means to inhabit and give spatial contour to their references. For example, Maljkovic gained access to the guarded test track of Peugeot headquarters in order to cast retired company workers in out-of-time embraces alongside futuristic automobile prototypes (Out of Projections, 2009), and Skaer's placed the heft of a sperm whale skeleton behind partitioned walls to enact the interval nature of the moving image (Leviathan Edge, 2009). 

Lucy Skaer's installations subject the conventional classification of objects and historical references to scrutiny, shifting meaning toward the symbolic and absurd. Often working with pre-existing imagery and found forms, Skaer's sculptures, films, and works on paper emphasize repetition and variation even as they retain a gestural immediacy. Her surrogate adaptations of Constantin Brancusi'sýsculptures, for example, use familiar forms as a decoy for exploring faltering modes of industrial production and distribution, resulting in the collapse of image and object into a shared psychological space a characteristic of much of her work. Skaer's work re-animates the power of the symbolic that lies beyond obsolescence, as in a recent 35mm film that imagines the memory of a film projector from an abandoned cinema in Leeds, England. 

Film, video, and stage scenography likewise play a central role in David Maljkovic's work and his ongoing critical engagement with the legacy of modernism. Constructing future histories via diverted glimpses onto overlooked moments of past innovation, Maljkovic's sculpture, collage, painting, drawing, and architectural mis-en-scene often refer to Yugoslav socialism and the aesthetics of international modernism. Maljkovic mines a rift between the utopian aspirations of former avant-garde strategies, their frequently cataclysmic results, and the present moment. The film Images With Their Own Shadows (2008), for example, is set in the villa and former studio of the influential Croatian artist and architect Vjenceslav Richter (1917-2002), and combines sound clips from Richter's last interview with highly suggestive tableaux vivant of young people, open mouthed in their attempt to speak. Here, the sounds and imagery of the past irrevocably darken the present but the future is made equally contingent through embodied, participatory rehearsal. 

Artist Biographies

  <Description><![CDATA[Queens International 2012: Three Points Make a Triangle is the fifth edition of the Queens Museum of Art’s biannual survey of artists living and working in the borough. The 31 artists featured this year are based in Astoria, Flushing, Jackson Heights, Long Island City, Kew Gardens, Richmond Hill, and Ridgewood, and comprise a multi-national and cross-generational group.

We found many artists working in forms of abstraction and collage, while many others were telling fantastical stories that layer the here and now with other spaces and times. Together, they seemed to be combining the rational and the emotional, searching for worlds beyond our own, from the midst of a daily life permeated by information technology.

These ideas are woven throughout the museum’s first-floor galleries. One gallery focuses on humble materials, basic forms and energies, and their discovery in everyday life. Another suggests possible journeys into the future and past, deploying symbols from traditional cultures, science, and mathematics. A third contains artworks that turn inward towards home and the spiritual. In addition to the works on view, three artists’ workshops are scheduled to explore these ideas in real time.

The exhibition subtitle originates with French Surrealist René Daumal’s unfinished novel Mount Analogue (1944), in which eight explorers use scientific knowledge and metaphysical powers to search for a magical mountain invisible to the human eye. In this spirit, embark on your journey through the exhibition.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[This is a show of sculptures. 

It also hopes to create new homes for animals in shelters. And to raise funds to help protect wild animal species.

Over the past decade, the relationships between culture and those who produce and consume it has changed radically. Art has not been excepted from these shifts. As art has become more commodified, subject to re-performance, pressed into new contexts by curators, and recycled by other artists, conventional notions of objecthood, authorship and ownership have been evolving. Darren Bader (American, b. 1978) works with these expanding boundaries of art’s use and circulation. Often using culture he appropriates from a range of media—film, music, text, digital images and work made by other visual artists—Bader treats such material as “readymades” that he presents democratically within the framework of his exhibitions alongside found objects like fruits, furniture, and sometimes live animals. Working with a lyrical absurdity in the space between sculpture, writing and curating, the artist humorously complicates the hierarchies that underscore the economies of cultural production and reception.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[A fractal is a geometric, mathmatical phenomenom that when broken down, each separate part may be analogous to the whole. They are continuous, but not differential.  These structures can appear to be organic growth from inorganic media.  And ultimately - Order is found within Chaos.
 
Memory, nature and experience - these substances of our lives can grow not only by accretion but by division and fragmentation as well, creating an organic complexity that belies a unifying order.     
 
This exhibition brings together the works of three multi-media artists who each are seeking to create their own unifying forms out of the chaos of life. Here we see this &quot;growth by division and fragmentation&quot; illustrated in the installations, sculptures, paintings and drawings.  Often utilizing the detritus of paper, tape, rope, paint, wire in their work - Order is broken down and reformed again, until in the end we arrive at a kind of Fractal Unity of form and meaning. 

Hyungsub Shin’s work is motivated by the nature of artificiality where he searches for the place where nature and culture coincide.  The subject matter of his abstract sculptures and paintings are realized in the forms of a &quot;rhizome&quot; - a thick underground horizontal stem that produces roots and has shoots that develop into new plants. The rhizome symbolizes life in continual flux, expansion by division and fragmentation, and identity as a social relationship.  
 
Hyungsub Shin was born in Incheon, Korea. He received his BFA from Hong-Ik University, Seoul, Koreaand his MFA from the Schoolof Visual Arts, New York, NY. Shin has shown extensively in solo and group exhibitions internationally including Socrates Sculpture Park, NY, Jamaica Center for Arts and Learning, NY, Alpan Gallery and DEAN PROJECT. Hyungsub Shin currently lives and works in New York, NY.
 
Hong Seon Jang is an installation artist currently living and working in New York City. His work explores the recognition of surroundings and reflects physical fragility in daily life by transforming everyday objects into new forms that embody various physical and systematical forces in nature. In giving everyday materials new contexts and aesthetic possibilities with subtle reintroduction, he achieves to displace them from their original function to challenge the mundane and the embedded and preconceived ideas. 

Hong Seon Jang received his BFA from Dan Kook University, South Korea and earned his MFA in Imaging Art at Rochester Institute of Technology, Rochester, NY. His awards and residencies include: Djerassi, CA, Atlantic Center for the Arts, FL, Newark Museum, NJ, Lower East Side Print Shop Special Editions Residency in NYC, Elizabeth Foundation for the Arts in NYC, Painting Space 122 in NYC, Sculpture Space, NY, Bemis Art, NE, Abron Arts Center at Henry Street Settlement in NYC, The Triangle Artists’ Workshop Program in NYC, and Urban Artist Initiative Fellowship. He has been widely exhibited in solo and group exhibitions including Smack Mellon, the Donnell Building of the New York Public Library, McColl Center for Visual Art, Charlotte, NC, The Soap Factory, Minneapolis, The Islip Art Museum, East Islip, NY, MN, Arario Gallery, NYC, Artspace, New Haven, CT, Rush Arts Gallery, NYC, Hangaram Art Museum, Seoul, South Korea, and PS122 Gallery, NYC.
 
Buhm Hong, an installation and video artist, composes visual narratives through his video presentations by creating digital composites of seemingly disparate elements that investigate ways in which physical environments inform and influence the construction of illusion, memory and, ultimately, the Self.  Furthermore, by taking these disjunctive video composites  and translating them into three dimensional sculptures that appear like real illusions, the artist seeks to awaken the viewer from what the artist calls a &quot;perceptual slumber.&quot;
 
Hong received his BFA in Industrial Design from the Hong Ik University in Seoul, South Korea, an MFA in computer art photography, video and related media from the School of Visual Art in New York. He has shown his work in such venues as the Digital Salon and the SVA East Gallery, both in New York. ]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Frances Stark (American, b. 1967) is a Los Angeles-based artist and writer whose work explores image-making and the written word. Known for her works on paper that often reference the acts of drawing and writing, Stark also makes videos, sculptures, and live performances that are suffused with self-doubt, speculation, and vulnerability. She regularly draws from popular culture, literature, and her own personal life, often exploring expectations and assumptions about gender that inflect her identity as a woman, artist, teacher, and mother.

First presented at the 54th Venice Biennale, Stark's My Best Thing is a feature-length animation in the form of a serialized soap opera, constructed from interactions in online video chatrooms. The female protagonist's flirtatious discussions with random participants soon expand beyond sex into broader topics including film history, politics, and protest, and she gradually grows fond of some of her interlocutors, who transform from strangers into confidants and collaborators. Produced using a text-to-speech animation program from the scripts of virtual encounters, My Best Thing highlights the manner in which current communication technologies allow for both greater intimacy and anonymity, giving rise to new kinds of behaviors and relationships.    ]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Los Angeles-based artist Henry Taylor (American, b. 1958) applies his brush both to canvas and to unconventional materials—suitcases, crates, cereal boxes, cigarette packs—offering a refreshing, idiosyncratic perspective on culture and politics using everyone and everything around him as source material. While Taylor drew and painted in his youth, he studied art later in life, attending the California Institute of the Arts after working for ten years as a psychiatric technician at a state hospital. In the months preceding the exhibition, the artist will be in residency in one of MoMA PS1's former classrooms, using it as his New York studio to create new work for the exhibition.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[With upheaval spreading around the world, what can we make of our current global situation? Like looking in a mirror every morning, we may check numerous sources of information. On one hand, in Japan we witnessed that everybody could experience weakness, loss and suffering from unexpected circumstances – the great earthquake and tsunami. More recently we saw the Occupy protests spreading from Wall Street to locations all over the world. They seem to cry out for recovering some common ground, both material and spiritual.

These incidents show images in a mirror that is not always stable and flat. Fact was not reflected in the mirror, more perhaps somewhere between the incidents and the reflections. If the mirror that we look into each morning does not reflect fact, then is the mirror even real? Now, everything is in interconnected, circulating on a global scale and has the possibility to be upset.

Art has a function to rouse people to look at the structures of the current world and show something in between. This two-person show creates a dialogue and exchange of ideas between artists Michele Kong (NY) and Yosuke Ito (Tokyo).

This light-based exhibition is best viewed after sunset.


Michele Kong
For several years, Michele Kong created large-scale sculptural installations inspired by structures in nature and focusing attention on things found in plain sight. Such works have been included in exhibitions at a variety of art venues including: PS 1 Contemporary Art Center (NY), Bemis Center for Contemporary Art (NE), Arlington Arts Center (VA), Maryland Art Place (MD), Delaware Center for the Contemporary Arts (DE), to name just a few. In 2009, Kong expanded her artistic practice and began experimenting with narrative in short video projects. Several fellowships including the Fine Arts Work Center, Yaddo, Virginia Center for the Creative Arts, and other programs supported this new body of work. Additionally a 2009 Creative Artist Exchange Fellowship, awarded by the Japan-US Friendship Commission/NEA, contributed to the production of collaborative works including the work on view in this exhibition, The Space Between.


Yosuke Ito
A Tokyo-based artist and international exhibitor, is interested in the mechanism of self-reflection. He refers to this process as a connection between gaze and glance to memory and record. As Artistic Director of the international exchange project, Puddles, Ito has collaborated with intermedia artist Phill Niblock, a Minimal sound master. The inspiration from these collaborations has broadened Ito’s work, reaching beyond the visual to include other senses. From 2009 at M55 Art, Ito develops his ideas into a visual narrative. The dispersal of light is transferred to the circular motion of propellers powered by solar cells, suggesting the far-reaching implications regarding current global environmental issues.]]></Description>
