  <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[To formally commemorate the reopening of The Isamu Noguchi Foundation and Garden Museum in its completely renovated state, the Museum will present Noguchi ReINstalled. While the Museum’s first floor galleries and indoor/outdoor space have remained relatively unchanged, this exhibition will mark the first time the Permanent Collection will be on view in its entirety since the spring of 2002. Through consultation of the Museum’s vast photographic archives, every effort will be made to present the collection as close to Noguchi’s original intentions as possible. By June 17, a number of objects loaned to exhibitions abroad will also be returned to their intended configuration in the Museum’s galleries and garden. A number of recent acquisitions to the Museum’s collections, including a recently fabricated model reproducing Noguchi’s ambitious design for the five-acre site at the Billy Rose Sculpture Garden in Jerusalem from 1960 – 1965 will also be on view.

Ganesh is known for her expansive visual vocabulary that often references Bollywood films, comics/graphic novels, and iconic feminist imagery. For her latest installation at P.S.1, she channels the glam rock and kitsch aesthetics of the 1975 film The Rocky Horror Picture Show while drawing inspiration from Alan Moore's graphic novel Watchmen, focusing on the character The Silhouette who is murdered for coming out as a lesbian.

  <Description><![CDATA[Josh Smith painted forty-seven paintings directly on the wall to create On The Water, his exhibition at Deitch Studios.

There is a feeling of the uncanny when one enters the space. One senses that there is something off, not quite right. There is a brief period of perceptual adjustment when the viewer begins to realize that the five by four foot rectangles, spaced evenly around the walls like standard canvases, are not actually canvases. They are paintings painted right onto the wall.

Josh Smith wanted to create a show of paintings that looked like something else. The intention was to make “art without an art object” and to take the commodity out of the art. There is nothing in the exhibition to covet or to buy. The work is only to be looked at. He wanted to “bring painting down.”

The work has a lightness and a sense of weightlessness. It also has an immediacy and a feeling of directness. The forty-seven works were completed in just three and one half days. The space between the paintings is important and Smith recalls that the most difficult part of the project was restraining himself from doing too much.

The paintings have a fluidity that reflects the flow of water on the river, visible through the gallery windows. The paintings seem to float. The paintings are in fact all water based. They are painted with India ink and gouache, which is like an opaque watercolor. Smith describes his use of gouache and the bright palette of many of the works as “concentrated vibrant watercolor.” Unlike in oil painting, the colors do not get muddy. The colors remain sharp and crisp. In Smith’s words, “there is no power loss.” He emphasizes that “everything that went into the paintings is still there.”

“Painting is like talking for me,” Smith explains. “It is how I communicate.” He thinks of his five by four foot painting size as a standard template, like the stack of composition paper on a writer’s desk. “The size of the paintings fits people well,” he says. Smith thinks of himself as his first viewer and claims to remember everything that he makes. In the Deitch Studios installation, one can see a whole room full of paintings at once. The viewer can see how the paintings are made, and Smith asserts that the viewers could actually make the paintings themselves. The process is deliberately demystified. Smith says that he has been criticized for making too much work. In fact, he thinks that he does not make enough work.

Josh Smith is known for three themes, all of which are explored in the Deitch Studios installation:

The Signature

Smith looked for something with the meaning stripped out of it. “Josh Smith” is a bland name, and an ideal armature for painting.

The Leaf

The image is derived from an actual oak leaf that the artist keeps in a cigar box in his studio. He has painted it several hundred times. The leaf is softer and more “figurative” than the signature. With the leaf and the fish, he is trying to “show more heart.”

The Fish

The fish can be painted in three or for lines. “You cannot paint it wrong.”

Josh Smith has drawn on his print making background and his study of the work of Picasso, Duchamp, de Kooning, Rauschenberg, Warhol, Polke, Wool, Oehlen and Kippenberger to create a new approach to abstraction. His “simple” work opens a fresh and complex set of possibilities for painting.

On The Water is a collaborative project between Luhring Augustine and Deitch Projects. ]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Between Spaces is a group exhibition organized by P.S.1’s junior curatorial staff. The exhibition brings together eleven emerging and established artists who remove familiar objects from their traditional functions, creating work that suggests new contexts and possibilities.
 
Adopting the role of alchemist, the artists in Between Spaces reform and shift the aesthetic and cultural connotations of their materials. Notions of presence and absence are highlighted, evoking the space in between.

In recasting the functionality of standard materials, including light, the works in Between Spaces challenge the viewer’s perception of domestic material conventions. In his series Blinds, Martin Soto Climent explores the physical limits of Venetian blinds as he twists and transforms them into a draped installation that cascades from the wall. Artist Alex Da Corte uses homemade multicolored soda as the sole medium in his large site-specific floor installation. The soda is poured into molds and then hardens into an abstract composition of juxtaposed primary shapes.

Organized by Tim Goossens and Kate McNamara, P.S.1 Curatorial Assistants

  <Description><![CDATA[This fall P.S.1 presents 2822 Records (PS1), 1987-2009, a site-specific floor-based installation of vinyl records by Christian Marclay.  Consisting entirely of 12-inch records of every musical genre and style, Marclay’s installation highlights the experiential qualities of music and vinyl recording by inviting visitors to walk on the artwork. Marclay’s installation highlights some of the most primal notions around music, namely volume, space, and physicality. As an example of viewer and audience participation, it highlights a seminal aspect of the upcoming exhibition 100 Years (version #1, ps1, nov 2009), drafting a  short history of actions, events, situations, happenings, and performances beginning with the Futurist Manifesto in 1909 until the present. Opening November 1.

  <Description><![CDATA[This will be the first exhibition at P.S.1 of works drawn from virtually all of the collecting areas of  The Museum of Modern Art and will fill P.S.1’s second-floor galleries with examples of painting, sculpture, photography, print, illustrated books, design, drawing, media, and film, nearly all produced during the year 1969. These works will explore the artistic aesthetic incited by a period marked with revolution and socio-political tumult. Within the collection show will be a series of interventions by a current generation of artists whose work will refract the concerns of 1969 and the MoMA collection forty years after the original date and on the 80th anniversary of the museum.

  <Description><![CDATA[Inspired by Gary Hume’s image of “Michael”, We Are the World presents a multi-media exhibition that celebrates the artists’ ability to capture humanity in a wide-ranging fashion.  From self-portraits to conceptual strategies, the exhibition surrounds viewers with an audience that blurs the notion of who’s on display. The individual understanding of each artist is revealed through their ability to capture limitless possibilities through the mediums of painting, sculpture, photography and works on paper.  Included in the exhibition are a number of artworks inspired by Mrs. Landau, her family and cherished friends by Andy Warhol, Robert Mapplethorpe, Annie Leibovitz, Peter Hujar, Inez van Lamsweerde, Robert Rauschenberg, Bruce Weber, Adam Fuss and Timothy Greenfield-Sanders.

  <Description><![CDATA[This exhibition will gather important happenings, actions, moments, and gestures to outline a history of performance art that is still largely unknown. Organized by P.S.1 and Performa, a non-profit interdisciplinary arts organization committed to presenting and researching performance art, 100 Years will then travel to other venues, with content varying and developing over time.  For each version, works can be added to or detracted from, or include a greater local emphasis, depending on where the exhibition takes place. 

This collaborative exhibition is a product of discussions between both institutions and is presented on the occasion of Performa 09, the third visual art performance biennial happening November 1-22, 2009. Performa 09 is inspired by the 100 years that have passed since The Futurist Manifesto was published in 1909. Last February, Performa hosted a Futurist banquet to acknowledge this momentous anniversary.

In conjunction with 100 Years, a Free Space program, Electronic Arts Intermix (EAI), a New York-based nonprofit that is a leading resource for video art, presents 45 Years of Performance Video from EAI. Featuring works from 1965 to the present, this survey highlights over four decades of artists¹ performances created specifically for video, from conceptual exercises of the late 1960s to new, digitally-mediated performance narratives.

Organized by P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center and Performa. The exhibition is curated by Klaus Biesenbach, P.S.1 Chief Curatorial Advisor and MoMA Chief Curator of Media and Performance Art; and RoseLee Goldberg, Performa Director and Curator.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Curated by Shinnie Kim, Conundrum Express challenges viewers to expand their frame of reference and look beyond the initial visual appearance of an art piece.  Instead of indulging in the breakdown of the visual, the work itself becomes the reflective maze wherein the answer resides.  Drawn in, the viewer becomes actively involved in deciphering complex composition and diverse perspectives.  Acknowledging the multiplicity of cognitive modes of connecting ideas, the exhibition deliberately avoids didactically presenting a singular discourse of master narrative.

The artists featured in Conundrum Express defy the logics of imagery discourse by using their own visual languages with witty and playful approaches.  A multitude of staged elements and stylized compositions orchestrate an emergence of a higher level of visual information while creating interactions at the viewer’s level. The exhibition works as a medium of engagement that invites viewers to explore a range of enigmatic and intricate reasoning models as if it were a brainteaser game.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Leopards in the Temple is a parable by Franz Kafka that reads as follows: &quot;Leopards break into the temple and drink to the dregs what is in the sacrificial pitchers; this is repeated over and over again; finally it can be calculated in advance, and it becomes a part of the ceremony.&quot;

The group exhibition of the same name focuses on moments of metamorphosis, paradox, and formal adjacency, borrowing from the parable an ability to promote multiple readings of succinct forms and extraordinary occurrences. Protean moments where materials elide, transform, and overlay take place in the work of Lothar Baumgarten, Nina Canell, Strauss Bourque-LaFrance, and Kitty Kraus, while the rules of image production are triangulated and problematized in the painting configurations of Patrick Hill, Lucas Knipscher, and Kerstin Brätsch and Adele Röder's DAS INSTITUT. Kathrin Sonntag and Nina Hoffmann (working in collaboration) and the collaborative duo João Maria Gusmão and Pedro Paiva present slide and film projections that explore the uncanny through acts of magnetism, doubling, and transference. And sculpture is framed and distributed as an effaced and often fictional artifact in the work of Latifa Echakhch, Aleana Egan, and Lucy Skaer. Gathering together an international group of artists, the works in this exhibition share an extra-linguistic interest in moments of translation and a resistance to fixed forms.

Leopards in the Temple offers an unusual opportunity for New York audiences to experience the work of a number of increasingly prominent European artists, including 2009 Turner Prize Nominee Lucy Skaer, João Maria Gusmão and Pedro Paiva, who together represented Portugal at the most recent Venice Biennale, Nina Canell, the winner of this year's Bâloise Art Prize at Art Basel 40 | Statements, along with Kathrin Sonntag, recipient of the 2009 Swiss Art Award and Kitty Kraus, recipient of the 2008 Blauorange Prize. The exhibition represents the first New York exhibition for a number of the participating artists.

  <Description><![CDATA[Dutch Kills Gallery presents the work of abstract painter Nicole Parcher in her first one-person show for the gallery. Ms. Parcher says of her practice that, “I paint luscious puddles of joy and human disappointment.” Her paintings are “visceral” spaces that are about “joy… longing, desire, and disappointment…” She says that her “pure abstraction” has no “literal meaning” and that she leaves the “viewer to find their own point[s] of entry…” into a space where “colors ooze and drip into one another.” She likens her paintings to “Ice cream cone promises, melting, dripping, crying, luscious, juicy, oozing and fat.”

Ms. Parcher is a graduate of Skidmore College (B.A. 1990) and was a fellow at the Studio Arts Center International in Florence, Italy. She has participated in both one person and group exhibitions in New York with Tria Gallery, Karen McCready Fine Art, Andre Zarre Gallery, Exit Art, and Thread Waxing Space. Nicole Parcher lives and works in New York City.   ]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[This solo exhibition presents an overview of the work of Ann Sperry (1934-2009) reflecting on four decades of experimentation with the emotional and psychological potential of material. Sperry began making sculpture in the 1960s. In later decades, when the art world came to value postmodern coolness and detachment, Sperry remained unafraid to reach into her heart and soul. She made art about her experience as a woman, a Jew and a human being awestruck by the immensity of the cosmos.

Born in the Bronx, Sperry went to Sarah Lawrence College, where she studied art history with William Rubin, and sculpture with Theodore Roszak, a leading Abstract Expressionist sculptor. She learned welding and brazing, the craft of fusing together ready-made materials and the craft of imbuing molten metal with emotional intensity. Sperry exhibited around the globe; her work was acquired by museums in the United States, France, and Israel; she executed important public commissions (for Seattle and Boston, among other cities); and she taught at Harvard, Yale, the Studio School, and many other institutions.

  <Description><![CDATA[Having met in grad school, Wyatt Nash and Jeff Thompson went on to help found the Texas Firehouse, a gallery space in Long Island City, New York.  While most of their work is quite dissimilar, they both use processes of drawing and diagramming to build up layers of images that result in unexpected connections between objects and ideas.

Wyatt Nash’s drawings were created during a three-month stay in Berlin. They derive from the new surroundings he found himself in and from his imagination. Precariously situated between abstraction and realism, the forms constantly switch between these two realms while trying to find a common ground in between.

Jeff Thompson’s drawings are part of an ongoing series called “Wikipedia Loops” which use a simple set of rules to find linguistic and poetic pathways through the structure of Wikipedia.  The result are large-format inkjet prints that document the possible connections between such disparate terms as Karl Marx and Type 2 Diabetes.]]></Description>
