  <Description><![CDATA[The Broken Kilometer, 1979, located at 393 West Broadway in New York City, is composed of 500 highly polished, round, solid brass rods, each measuring two meters in length and five centimeters (two inches) in diameter. The 500 rods are placed in five parallel rows of 100 rods each. The sculpture weighs 18 3/4 tons and would measure 3,280 feet if all the elements were laid end-to-end. Each rod is placed such that the spaces between the rods increase by 5mm with each consecutive space, from front to back; the first two rods of each row are placed 80mm apart, the last two rods are placed 580 mm apart. Metal halide stadium lights illuminate the work which is 45 feet wide and 125 feet long.

This work is the companion piece to De Maria's 1977 Vertical Earth Kilometer at Kassel, Germany. In that permanently installed earth sculpture, a brass rod of the same diameter, total weight and total length has been inserted 1,000 meters into the ground.

The Broken Kilometer has been on long-term view to the public since 1979. This work was commissioned and is maintained by Dia Art Foundation.

  <Description><![CDATA[&quot;CompostModern,&quot; a salon-style discussion forum, revolutionizing the way we present the work of poets and writers to the public. We have opened the floor to the community, bringing you in to participate in the planning, discussion, and hopes for the future of art, poetics and science. As the name implies, the CompostModern forum aims to re-cycle our rich aesthetic history. If the project of postmodernism was to deconstruct traditions, it has left us with a fertile soil out of which new forms may emerge. It is with the belief that all new forms of art must evolve from a history that we approach the guiding question of the forum: What is creativity? At each weekly meeting, Dactyl members, noted artists, poets, and scientists will be able to talk freely and on equal terms. We want to know your opinions, beliefs, values and theories about everything from beauty and meaning to pop-culture and hype. ]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[92YTribeca presents the works of Rachel Beach and Nicole Stager – both formerly shown at Like the Spice gallery in Brooklyn – in an opening reception for this semi-permanent exhibit.

Brooklyn-dwelling, Ontario-born Rachel Beach creates works that have been described as “tough, precise and disciplined with a hard edged cheeriness.” Her wall-mounted sculptures – wooden portals and towers – rest on the border “between sculpture and painting, illusion and reality, masculine and feminine, representation, abstraction and decoration.” The portals literally take on the idea of a window, framing a section of wall or empty space in the gallery; the towers are architectural but can also seem at times like freestanding ornament. Each of these sculpture/paintings is designed to alter our visual perception of three-dimensional form.

Nicole Stager creates her work in the darkroom, drawing with handheld light sources in a process that combines the specificity of photography with the aesthetic of abstract painting. Time, color, shape and line are all uniquely presented in Stager’s work; the final product has far more to do with the interaction of light, shadow and chemistry than with the objects that produced them. A native of Pennsylvania, Stager is currently completing her MFA in New Media from the Transart Instituta at Danube University in Krems, Austria.

  <Description><![CDATA[In December 2010, The Drawing Center launched ReDraw: The Capital Plan for 35 Wooster Street with the purchase of a 2,000-square-foot unit on the second floor of 35 Wooster Street, which will replace its leased space at 40 Wooster Street.

Plans for the new space have been designed by Claire Weisz and WXY Architecture + Urban Design, an internationally-recognized New York–based firm. ReDraw’s architectural program addresses specific exhibition, educational, and operational requirements, reinforcing The Drawing Center's mission to present the highest-quality cultural programming in galleries proportioned to facilitate a meaningful viewer experience—attributes that have made the institution one of the most respected, beloved, and distinctive non-profits in New York City.

The building project will connect the existing ground floor space to the newly-acquired second floor space and the lower level of the building. A new bookstore and a sky-lit Drawing Room gallery will join the existing visitor services desk and Main Gallery on the ground floor level. Offices and administrative spaces will move to the second floor, and the renovated lower level will accommodate a new education room, a Viewing Program meeting room, and the “Drawing Room 2” gallery, which will feature an audio and video media system for exhibitions and public programs. Integrating these spaces into one building will provide The Drawing Center with 50% more contiguous programmatic space.

The Drawing Center has suspended on-site programming to begin construction, with a projected re-opening date of April 2012.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[The Children’s Museum of the Arts presents the exhibition Make Art (In) Public, a survey of art in the public realm. As the inaugural show in CMA’s new, larger facility on Charlton Street, Make Art (In) Public speaks to qualities with which CMA closely identifies: the accessibility of the arts; being a product of and a contributor to the cultural fabric of New York City; and the impact of the arts on building and bettering communities. At this pivotal moment in the museum’s history, we can think of no better art form to honor in our new space and new gallery.

Make Art (In) Public presents a survey of artists past and present whose work collectively demonstrates a variety of methods artists employ to stage their art in the public realm. Participating artists include Keith Haring, Swoon, Christo &amp; Jeanne-Claude, Friedensreich Hundertwasser, Remed, Tranqui Yanqui and Moondog. Going above and beyond the call of duty to make art more accessible to the public, these artists affect positive change within the communities they work. They further the dialogue between artist and audience and through the immensity of their vision and talent they inspire new generations of artists to turn their dreams into reality.

Through this exhibition, museum visitors will engage with ideas about how the arts can bring communities together, foster dialogue, and contribute to the beauty of daily life, as well as the ways in which early public artists continue to inform the efforts of contemporary artists.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Swiss Institute presents a solo show of Jean-Frédéric Schnyder (born 1945, lives in Zug, Switzerland) in the United States. Despite his long and successful career the Swiss artist has remained relatively unknown beyond European borders. At Swiss Institute Jean-Frédéric Schnyder will exhibit a series of small format landscape paintings LANDSCHAFT I-XXXV (1990/91) as well as the recent video installation Corso Schnapsparade (2009).

At Swiss Institute, Schnyder exhibits Landschaft (Landscape) I-XXXV (1990/91) a typical example of his vision of painting. After finding a subject, he usually examines every possibility in his imagination without doing any preparatory drawings. The common denominator of this series is the archetypal small house treated in 35 small-sized oil paintings. From the hut of Hansel and Gretel to suburban architecture with a Swastika-lit sky, the modality of a small world is investigated by painting. “I do not care which associations my paintings provoke. Swastika, cruxifix and sugar cubes are just motives which are interesting to paint. To apply color—this is what painting is about, right?—is for me the common thread.” Schnyder’s manifesto is purely nonchalant, a balancing act between humor, kitsch and a persiflage about Western art.

Also on view is Corso Schnapsparade (Liquor Parade, 2009) an animated film featuring a highly eccentric procession. Small wooden horses pull trailers loaded with miniature versions of Swiss liquor bottles. The horses and trailers are cut in wood by Schnyder himself with painstaking craftmanship. The scenery has a childish or almost naïve element that is instantly contradicted by the presence of hard liquor. The soundtrack from the well-known film Sissy further enhances the grandeur of the parade. Schnyder’s Liquor Parade at once celebrates and ridicules festival culture and its rituals.

The exhibition has been made possible with public funds from Kanton Zug.

  <Description><![CDATA[Third Streaming presents an exhibition by Jayson Keeling. See Jungle! See Jungle! Go Join Your Gang, Yeah. City All Over! Go Ape Crazy., marks Keeling’s first one-person show at the gallery. The exhibition features a selection of rarely seen photographs shown alongside a new series of paintings and videos.
 
Taking its cue from a 1981 Bow Wow Wow album, See Jungle! highlights the strong influence of music on the artist’s practice and his fascination with popular and street culture. Drawing from hip-hop, punk, jazz, the 1980‘s New Wave movement as well as from film, and modern and pop art, the work blends visual imagery and text - often appropriated from music lyrics and film narratives -  into unexpected outcomes. In addition, Keeling’s bi-cultural upbringing between Jamaica and the Bronx, New York comes into play in subtle ways.
 
The exhibition title provides a direct example of the cultural-recycling that saturates Keeling’s work. The Bow Wow Wow album cover features a photograph of the band posed as a tableau vivant of Manet’s Luncheon on the Grass, making Keeling’s appropriation of the title a playful commentary on cultural fluidity, the urban jungle, and the power of reinterpretation.
 
Several of the works on display straddle the gritty physicality of punk and hip-hop and the high-gloss aesthetic of fashion photography. The dialogue between these seemingly disparate outlooks creates a raw energy that Keeling takes advantage of to highlight themes of gender, race and sexuality as well as to provide a critique on commercialism and socio-political issues. In Vampire, 2004/printed 2011 and Mathias, 2002/printed 2011, the careful composition mixes with the interplay of textures to emphasize the strength and sensuality of the human body, as well as, provides a commentary on the dominance of advertising and branding in contemporary culture.
 
Jayson Keeling was born in New York and raised between Jamaica and the Bronx. He currently lives and works in Brooklyn. His work has been included in exhibitions at El Museo del Barrio (New York), The Andy Warhol Museum (Pittsburgh, PA), Queens Museum of Art, The Bronx Museum, and The Studio Museum in Harlem, among others. Keeling has been awarded residencies from the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council as well as the Apex Outbound Residency in Ethiopia.

  <Description><![CDATA[Don’t Let Me Disappear consists of a single video from which the exhibition takes its name. While he has worked in a variety of media, Bradley is best known for his work in film. This highly literate work, an update on his previously shown Boulevard of Broken Dreams, follows Bradley’s Doppelgänger, model and actor Benjamin Brock, as he wanders alone through New York City. Brock, who distinctly resembles Bradley, has been a consistent subject of the artist’s work over the past decade. While he acts in part as a stand-in for the artist, he does not neccesarily portray him directly, instead representing a variety of figures, a kind of everyman. 

The work strongly alludes to perhaps the best-known wanderer of New York City, The Catcher in the Rye’s Holden Caulfield. Like the Doppelgänger, Salinger’s iconically alienated character walks aimlessly through New York’s streets, critical of and emotionally removed from his surroundings. The Doppelgänger perceives an artificiality as he examines the city; his anguished expression as he absorbs the city recalls Holden’s condemnation of its “phonies.” At the end of Bradley’s film, the Doppelgänger finds and puts on a red hunting hat, identical to the one described in the novel, and in doing so transforms into Holden. 

The film depicts the New York City of E.B. White’s famous essay Here is New York. White divides New York into three separate cities: that of the native New Yorker, that of the commuter, and, the most significant of the three, that of the transplant, for whom New York is a final destination. The inhabitant of this third New York, paradoxically, is surrounded by people but perpetually alone. Though he has long resided in New York, Bradley originates from San Francisco, and the film shows his delicate relationship with the City.  It is one of intimacy and distance, awe and terror, adoration and distrust. 

The Doppelgänger observes and touches the built environment and crowds of the city, all without actually engaging any person or thing. Bradley continually draws attention to the act of walking: the video opens with a shot of legs waiting at a crosswalk, then follows the walking feet of its subject, waiting two and half minutes before showing the rest of his person. Here, Bradley refers to to Walter Benjamin’s conception of the flâneur, Flaubert’s archetypal figure who strolls through the modern city. Benjamin’s flâneur perceptively observes his surroundings but remains wholly uninvolved with them. Department store window displays, like the ones the Doppelgänger desparately examines, are a product of the flâneur’s prevalence in the post-industrial citiy. 

Throughout the video, the Doppelgänger’s disembodied voice mumbles brief passages from little-known Russian author Mark Levi’s mysterious 1934 Novel with Cocaine, which chronicles an adolescent male’s descent into hedonism and drug addiction during Russia’s tumultuous years 1916 through 1919. Like the novel, Don’t Let Me Disappear examines the depravity of a young man’s existance during a period of national strife.

  <Description><![CDATA[In his twelfth solo show at the Feldman Gallery, Edwin Schlossberg will exhibit a series of new paintings that combine stenciled text and abstract images on aluminum panels.  In Beneath Suddenly, Schlossberg investigates patterns of perception by refracting the visual field with reflective surfaces created from Scotchlite and dust of lapis lazuli, ruby, and silver. 

 

In addition to his work in the visual and literary arts, Edwin Schlossberg is the founder and principal designer of ESI Design, a company that takes an interactive and technology-centered approach to large-scale projects including the Pepsi Family Center in North Carolina, the National Immigration History Museum at Ellis Island, and INFINITY at NASA Stennis Space Center. Schlossberg holds a PhD in Science and Literature from Columbia University and has exhibited and published extensively.

  <Description><![CDATA[OK Harris Works of Art presents five solo exhibitions: Alex Zwarenstein, Tony King, Allen Harrison, Mark Chester, John Tallman.

 John Tallman work consists of twelve intimately scaled “paintings” poured and cast using pigmented urethane plastic, powdered metal and acrylic paint. Each work illuminates a material quality of contemporary painting without declaring an allegiance to a particular direction. Letting intuition function within the language of the historical precedence of abstraction, subject matter that is overtly suggestive is avoided. Yet sly reverences to Lucio Fontana, Yves Klein and Mark Rothko can be found.

Each “painting” is a cast plastic replica of an original acrylic and canvas prototype. This original prototype is destroyed as part of the working process. Evidence of this prototype can be seen in particular surface and shape irregularities that are repeated in each casting. Mr. Tallman’s rabbit hole is found in the physical properties of plastic and subverting conventional expectations that come when viewing “a painting”.

After an extended period of living in Asia, Mr. Tallman returned to the United States in 2005. Since that time he has participated in exhibitions in Sydney, Amsterdam, Paris, Nashville and Philadelphia. He is part of the international post formalist movement spearheaded by such DYI groups such as Minus Space, the Center for Contemporary Non-Objective Art, IS Projects and Paris Concret. Mr. Tallman received his formal training Painting at Tyler School of Art and the University of Washington. The art and ideas of the conceptual artist Luis Camnitzer have also had an influence, having worked with Mr. Camnitzer on the 2007 Drawing Center Exhibit, Non-Declarative Art. Mr. Tallman splits his time living and working between suburban Philadelphia and Lookout Mountain, Tennessee.

  <Description><![CDATA[Peter Blum presents the exhibition Drawing a Line in the Sand, a group exhibition of works on paper.

Drawing a Line in the Sand is a continuation of the gallery’s ongoing interest in drawing. It follows the tradition begun with earlier exhibitions such as Drawing a Line and Crossing it (1997) and Line and Surface (2006).
 
Over the past century the definition of drawing has broadened its boundaries significantly. As drawings were once perceived as preparations for other artworks or illustrative images, they have in recent times transformed into an art form that stands on its own. Like with painting and sculpture, artists have pushed the limits of drawing, expanding the meaning of line and surface.
 
Drawing a Line in the Sand presents an array of drawings by twelve artists spanning a period from the 1960’s to the present. Focusing on the importance of the line, the artists in the exhibition employ a variety of methods and materials such as pencil, graphite, charcoal, watercolor, enamel and even the folding of paper, expanding the definition of the drawing and the possibilities of the medium.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Kate Werble Gallery presents the work of four artists—Tony Cox, William Lamson, Ken Tisa, and Steven Thompson—in Glass Ceiling, an exhibition that investigates art making process grounded in repetition. Encompassing a range of media from Lamson’s hypnotic video to Tisa’s precisely rendered watercolors, each work stands as the result of contemplative and repetitive processes that verge on ritualistic. In each piece “losing” oneself becomes a manner of attempting to control form, pointing to the slippages between mental shifts and an alchemic transformation of material.

Tony Cox uses thread and small plastic objects to create densely woven compositions on top of canvas. In Meditative Rave, ritualistic imagery is abstracted and simultaneously made highly personal through the materials, as his process transforms a traditionally painstaking domestic activity into contemporary meditation.

In William Lamson’s Levitation Exercise a glowing, white balloon is pushed by the artist over and over into the air. As the balloon recedes, Lamson disappears into the dark. Slowly this mundane gesture transforms into a hypnotic representation. It invites the viewer to consciously know what something is and simultaneously indulge in accepting the illusion, as they are absorbed into its Sisyphean repetition.

Abstract forms are layered across Ken Tisa’s watercolors, creating dizzying visual spaces. The contrast between a Bacchanalian energy and the meticulous rendering of each element builds a tenuous balance between chaos and precision. The repetition of forms invites a state of contemplation that is constantly under siege. 

Steven Thompson creates installations of seemingly precious objects, assembled in elaborate arrangements evocative of renaissance Wunderkammer, scientific displays and religious relics. Nomadic Desk is composed of an array of oddities: found objects and semiprecious stones, mixed with his carefully rendered approximations of them. The piece designates psychological space in which nothing is what it seems.

  <Description><![CDATA[&quot;Field Collection&quot; is an assembly of artifacts from John Small's ongoing installation practice. Based on the historical practices of early explorers, searching and discovering, &quot;Field Collection&quot; ties together the history of exploration with his imaginative research. The explorer's intentions to discover new territories and let themselves dive into the unknown are mirrored by his art making through his use of fictional historic discoveries, and their transformation into art.

With imagery rooted in heraldry and field guide illustration, John Small combines painting and sculpture with display methods found in natural history museums and cabinet of curiosities, to continue his examination of space and the grounding of his personal world. The work has a nostalgic feel, which takes an inventive approach to a personal journey in which the artist creates his own historical traces. John is dedicated to the analysis of color, painting, and sculpture, their histories, the connections that can be made and their ability to transform space and situate the viewer in a narrative environment.

&quot;Field Collection&quot; – is the first New York Solo show for John Small, living and working in New York City, where he is currently completing his MFA at Parsons The New School for Design.

  <Description><![CDATA[Clifton Benevento presents A Place In The Sun, the New York solo-debut of the Toronto based artist Hugh Scott-Douglas.
 
Drawing its title from the 1951 George Stevens film of the same name, A Place In The Sun, presents a new body of cyanotypes.
 
Within film history Stevens’ A Place In The Sun, is regarded as an excellent example of analog film editing and is particularly well known for its long dissolves between scenes. Using this as a historical reference and the dissolve as an editing technique to formally connote the passage of time, Scott-Douglas creates a series of 30 by 40 inch cyanotypes  &quot;shot&quot; over a number of afternoons using the natural sunlight outside of his studio. As the sun moves through the sky the amount of light hitting the prints changes, directly affecting the chroma of each frame. While the works in the exhibition are cyanotypes, Scott-Douglas regards them as &quot;frames&quot; because of their conceptual link to film rather than as strictly photographs or paintings.
 
Upon installation at Clifton Benevento, Scott-Douglas organizes his works based on their individual chromatic value. This amalgamation based on a formal quality in turn acts an index of the environmental, time-based conditions aiding the physical development of the work.  Installed in such amanner so the perimeter of each object visually gestures to the adjacent frame, Scott-Douglas's works reiterate the formal notion of the dissolve and in turn completes an almost self-effacing act that makes each piece a part of a larger mise-en-scène rather than an independent object.
 
Whileevidencing pleasure in the pun between the film title, the exhibition title and the notion of work created from being placed in the sun, this body of work also illustrates a narrative of the movement of time, of the passing of afternoons.

  <Description><![CDATA[
On January 10th, John Miserendino will begin work on his project, Pavilion, as part of Recess’s signature program, Session. Session invites artists to use its public space as studio, exhibition venue and grounds for experimentation.

For Pavilion, Miserendino will reinterpret Dan Graham’s original plans for his architectural structures. The artist, who sees himself as a collaborator with Graham and other prominent players—who may remain unaware of the joint venture—will stage a series of three reenactments inside his Pavilion to translate existing artworks into personal terms.

Using discarded studio materials from several well-known artists, Miserendino will use Pavilion as a recording studio to make an audio facsimile of Sonic Youth’s Daydream Nation, an album he has never heard personally. He will rely on visitors’ descriptions of the band and their memories of the music to approximate the album.

Pavilion will also become the set for a third version of Michael Haneke’s film, Funny Games. Miserendino worked as a PA for Haneke’s shot-by-shot 2008 American remake of his own movie, originally shot in 1997 in Austria. Using the original film as his guide and sourcing trashed costumes from the 2007 version, Miserendino will serve as actor, director, production designer, and editor for his 2012 iteration.

Finally, Pavilion will be used a stage for the artist to learn discarded choreography from the Broadway show Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark. Miserendino will work with a dancer from the cast to learn dance sequences that have been cut from the present version of the musical.

In each case, Miserendino hopes to capture a discarnate likeness of the existing artworks, providing an additional layer of commentary to the original productions through new collaborations.


Artist Bio:
About the Artist: John Miserendino was born in 1980 in New Jersey and now lives and works in New York City. He received a BA in architecture from Cornell University in 2003. Earlier this year, his project “A Selection of Snapshots taken by Felix-Gonzalez Torres and John Miserendino” was published for Printed Matter in New York. ]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[KESTING/RAY presents Hyper 20XX, the second New York solo exhibition for Philadelphia-based artist Mark Price. In a new series of meticulously-cut and super-color-saturated collages incorporating screenprinting, painting and photography, Price packs multiple moments into single frames stuck in the endless loop of an inescapable present. 

Price's work speaks to a deep-seated human fear of groundlessness and change. We seek stability and a world we recognize as sane and reliable, and Price's work won't give it to us. Instead he offers incomplete warnings of a shattered future in day-glow gestures that pierce the picture plane, flattening it into odd shapes that we strain to recognize. A silhouetted character appears from time to time in the work, functioning as a reminder of the fragmentary and incomplete nature of consciousness.

In Price's installation, our own experience can no longer be trusted. The high-resolution screen through which we view things has shattered into stuttering and razor-sharp regions of color and text. Pierced and pinned to the wall as fragmentary bits of a larger situation, his collages emerge into a three-dimensional plane that feels tentative, vulnerable and hyper-real. Philosopher Paul Virilio, in describing the global financial crisis, touches on this atmosphere when he states, &quot;We have moved from the stage of the acceleration of History to that of the acceleration of the Real. This is what 'progress' is: a consensual sacrifice.&quot;

In 2011, Price spent months traveling throughout the US and India to deepen his experience of non-linear perception. In describing this time he notes, &quot;In not having a fixed home base, I began to understand a new kind of stillness that comes from being perpetually in motion. Whether on a bike or train or plane, I found comfort from the mode of constant acceleration and the knowledge that everything remains open and inconclusive.&quot;]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[This exhibition features sixteen large format photographs selected from projects completed during the past seven years. Regarding this work, The New York Times observed, &quot;These images portray an otherworldly place that somehow feels familiar. . .and strangely beautiful.&quot;

Decidedly not documentary photography, Staller captures a poetic visual order in the chaos of industrial sites. At construction sites, recycling plants, and the sides of roads - the kinds of places that go unnoticed by most people, Staller finds unintentional, serendipitous beauty. In &quot;Pilings, Flushing Queens,&quot; the oxidized pilings seem to be a carefully thought out earthwork or a post-industrial petrified forest. Close viewing is rewarded by accents of color peeking through the narrow vertical spaces between the pilings.

In contrast to Staller's earlier pioneering twilight and mixed light landscape photographs with their lurid skies, evocative color, and deep space, many of his recent pictures use a flat, white, daytime sky to isolate subjects in tightly framed shallow spaces. In &quot;Tank Car In Snow, Port Reading New Jersey&quot; the pure black form of the tank car is placed centrally within the enveloping white of a snowstorm, according the car an iconic stature.

Snow is used to strange effect in two other panoramic works. In a frontally formal composition, a plywood wall barricade appears to be a torn photograph resting on white paper. On closer examination it becomes apparent the torn edge consists of an uneven snowdrift. In another image, a battered blue cargo container is framed with drifting snow at top and bottom, the floating blue panel appearing as if it's an archeological frieze.

In addition to playing with ambiguous spatial qualities, Staller's images play with sculptural concerns such as weight and gravity. In one construction site photograph, &quot;Grid and Culvert Tubes,&quot; a study in black and silver, the wire grid overlaid on black fabric appears to be both foreground and background, magically supporting the massive galvanized steel spiral columns that comprise the upper half of the composition.

In the monochromatic &quot;Target Floor, Missouri,&quot; the repeated patterns of tire tracks covering a concrete floor bring to mind the shadings of a delicate charcoal drawing or the markings left behind by a strange yet-to-be-discovered sea monster that scuttled across the ocean floor.

The work in the show is balanced between monochromatic and vividly hued work. Extracted by photography from the real world, many of the objects seem to glow with color, at times confounding our notions about how to read a photograph. In &quot;Rebar Cylinders&quot; brightly colored dots looking like so many dabs of paint applied to the surface of the photograph, are in actuality the painted ends of rusted steel rods.

Rather than just showing us things as they appear, Staller presents his singular vision of aesthetic order and unexpected form that he finds in metamorphic landscapes.

  <Description><![CDATA[Five new sculptures make up Ross Knight’s sixth solo exhibition at Team Gallery. The works are traditional sculpture of human scale and consideration. For these idiosyncratic hand-made constructions, Knight misuses utilitarian materials, stripping them of their ordinary functions and marrying disparate elements in sophisticated singular structures. Neither formalist nor minimalist, though taking much from both schools, the pieces hinge on visual relationships formed when re-contextualized materials are shaped to touch one another in specific and suggestive ways.

The centerpiece of the show is a massive construction of steel and plastic, an outdoor work grandly housed in the gallery. Part is a cantilevered structure with the protruding consoles of a conveyor belt that stop short in space and an exaggerated steel elevation embellished with matte magenta paint; the entirety then suction-wrapped in opaque white plastic. With industrial coloring and packaging, Part seems vaguely functional, an object fluctuating constantly between its own installation and de-installation, like commercial units dissasembled and packed for shipment, or for disposal, or prefab architectural modules caught in mid-construction, on the sublime verge of realization.

Skin to weight is a formal structure of two circular steel weights connected by a tall iron rod upon which sits the rolled skin of half a cow. The slender pedestal resembles a spine held between discs supporting some core cavity of a body. The bleached rawhide, diaphanous and delicate, methodically curls into itself, skin embracing skin, with evocative tactility and meticulous balance.

In Cord, iron shafts hang from a wooden sawhorse fastened to an oversize block of plastic. Held together with string like a crude scale, spindly steel legs support suspended weights, both burden and value. While Part and Skin to weight consider the armature of skin — plastic or real, structure-revealing and structure-housing — both Cord and Skin to weight turn on oddly balanced relationships of volume and pressure. 

Knight’s particular exploitation of materials also consistently relies upon sexual innuendo which is both sly and tremulous, in his push-and-pull and pole-and-hole configurations. Additionally, though Knight’s structures have many embedded lines of reference — the metal assemblages of Anthony Caro, the intersecting geometries of David Smith, the collaged installations of Kurt Schwitters, the corporeal erections of Matthew Barney, the ambiguous furniture of Franz West, and the wrapped objects of Christo come to mind with these pieces — the vocabulary of forms, and the unexpected ways in which elements encounter one another, is Knight’s own distinct signature.

  <Description><![CDATA[PLEATS PLEASE ISSEY MIYAKE presents BRAVO TV’s Work of Art contestant Michelle Matson, and her latest paper sculpture installation entitled RISE.

PLEATS PLEASE ISSEY MIYAKE’s Spring/Summer 2012 collection was designed around the themes of BELIEF and KACHINA, the Native American (Hopi) spirit beings that are oftentimes depicted as colorful dolls. It is believed by Kachina devotees that life is present in all objects of the universe. Our interaction with the life force emanating from the beings and objects around us is considered central to our survival.

Reflecting on these concepts, artist Michelle Matson created a totem-like sculpture for PLEATS PLEASE ISSEY MIYAKE store visitors to interact with. Made with her signature technique of paper cutting, it is accompanied by numerous paper birds that emerge from the sculpture as if flying towards the skies, a physical embodiment of the exchange of life force energy. The overall installation conjures up feelings of grace, joyfulness, and mystery; all in the spirit of the Hopi ideals.

Michelle Matson is an interdisciplinary artist working predominantly with paper sculpture. A graduate of the School of Visual Arts in New York City, Matson has worked assisting prominent artists such as Marilyn Minter and Josephine Meckseper. Her unusual paper creations that are oftentimes inspired by nature, and more intriguingly by body fluids, have been exhibited at Kravets Wehby Gallery, Postmasters, Stux Gallery, and Zach Feuer’s Project Space, among others. In 2011, Matson was selected to participate in BRAVO TV’s reality show Work of Art: The Next Great Artist, produced by actress Sarah Jessica Parker. Matson competed against 13 other up-and-coming artists and proved to be judge and New York Magazine art critic Jerry Saltz’s evident favorite.]]></Description>
