  <Description><![CDATA[In her sixth solo exhibition at Galerie Lelong, Ursula von Rydingsvard will present three new monumental works that exemplify the artist as a sculptor in full command of her craft, further developing the vocabulary that she has so thoroughly honed: abstract, architectural forms composed of accretions of wood.  Each of the three works-Bride's Veil, Unraveling, and Blackened Word-is tightly composed around a structured center and unfurls into a more complex, expansive configuration. ERRĀTUS - &quot;wandering&quot; or &quot;roaming&quot; in Latin - will open to the public on March 18th from 6 to 8 pm. The artist will be present.
 
One of von Rydingsvard's recurrent themes is the juxtaposition of organic and structural forms, transforming massive undertakings of carving and building with dense materials into elegant figures expressive of movement and gesture.  Roughly cut pieces of cedar are joined and form an intricate, sensual surface.  von Rydingsvard's figures often allude to everyday objects found in the home, such as a bowl, bonnet, or staircase-simple, universal pieces that are deeply imbued with humanity.
 
For ERRĀTUS, von Rydingsvard has created three epic works in cedar, each remarkable in its vast scale and vision.  Bride's Veil rises up from the floor, unfolding into rhythmic waves.  Under von Rydingsvard's hand, the cedar feels fluid, like fabric.  In Blackened Word, slight tracings serve as the foundation for a nearly seven-foot tall freestanding structure-the tentative handwriting of an elderly woman was laid on the floor, from which von Rydingsvard built upward to create a towering, undulating wall.  The third work in the exhibition, Unraveling, is an elaborate, overwhelming wall &quot;drawing&quot; in cedar.  The largest and most complex among von Rydingsvard's works hung on the wall, features cup-like shapes that protrude and extend downward, forming a giant's drapery.  In ERRĀTUS, von Rydingsvard displays her natural agility in drawing the intimacy, grace, and emotion out of the most primal of elements.
 
Concurrent with ERRĀTUS is the installation of a new work at Storm King Art Center in Mountainville, New York, commissioned for the sculpture park's 50th anniversary in April.  Also opening in April is the new addition to the North Carolina Museum of Art, at which another outdoor commission by von Rydingsvard, entitled Ogromna, will be unveiled.  In 2011, the Sculpture Center, New York, will present a major retrospective of von Rydingsvard's work.  The exhibition will later travel to the deCordova Museum and Sculpture Park, Lincoln, Massachusetts; in 2008, the deCordova presented von Rydingsvard with its renowned Rappaport Prize.

  <Description><![CDATA[Sounds from the Black Box, Kentridge’s most recent animation work and the latest in his long series of collaborations with South African composer Philip Miller. A follow-up to and expansion of the pair’s “9 Drawings for Projection” project, the piece combines Kentridge's stunning animations with scores by Miller, performed live by the NYC-based Ensemble Pi. 

The arts&gt;World Financial Center screenings will correspond with a Kentridge exhibit at the Museum of Modern Art (Feb 24–March 17) and a Kentridge-directed-and-designed production of Shostakovich’s The Nose at the Metropolitan Opera (March 5–25). Kentridge’s omnipresence prompted a recent New Yorker profile to observe, “It’s hard to remember when a visual artist has cut such a wide swath in the city’s cultural life, or spanned so many disciplines with such aplomb.”]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Secondary Occupants Collected &amp; Observed installation will occupy both the indoor and outdoor spaces and includes multiple aspects of animal/architecture engagement. The point of departure for the new work is investigation of the way in which animals (vertebrate and invertebrate) play a part in physically and conceptually transforming interior spaces into exterior ones. For this project, Montague collected and analyzed the types of insects and other pests that move into abandoned properties. In documenting his findings, the artist notes, “When investigating a Decay Community it is important to make a distinction between animals that have come to an abandoned structure by accident and those that spend a significant portion of their lifecycle in or on the structure. It is also important to note that not all members of a Decay Community directly contribute to the structural weakening of a building; they dismantle it by transforming it from an interior space into an exterior one.” Both the indoor and outdoor portions of the installation will feature graphic icons of animal occupiers suspended by a network of long white strings attached to elaborate maps and diagrams of houses and buildings in the indoor gallery and a rotting garden shed in the outdoor gallery.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[For this exhibition, Schubert has created a large-scale sculpture titled White Cave(2010) comprised of mostly found wood, debris, plaster, and burlap. As the title suggests, the sculpture itself emulates the shape of a cave, where upon viewers can actually step in to an empty white space with only electrical lights. This calm, yet claustrophobic, area is a contrast to the outside of the structure, which is chaotic, clumsy and precarious. Wood pieces are aggressively nailed together in-between improvised bulbous hand-sculpted abstract forms made from plaster. The twisting and reconfiguring creates tension and anxiety while the inside is a safe-haven - an escape.  

Accompanying White Cave (2010) is a series of sculptural paintings titled Vertical Cloud (2009). Here, Schubert invites the viewer’s eye to engage directly with the surface material on a more intimate level. Comprised of resin, enamel and acrylic on burlap the paintings contain hand-sculpted forms that act as the paint itself. Reminiscent of clouds, these white shapes set against various bright hues, are deliberately goofy, yet careful and spirited, giving the paintings their own strange aesthetic resonance. ]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[The lectures, documentaries, and didactic displays that have accompanied the presentation of Headless at art institutions share little of the heady cloak-and-dagger suspense found in the fictional texts that the project spawns. &quot;The Headless Conference&quot; is no exception to this rule. Co-organized by Rhizome and the Office for Parafictional Research, the event will take the form of an academic symposium on issues pertinent to the discourse surrounding Goldin+Senneby's work. Up for discussion are topics as diverse as the economic theories of George Bataille and the nature of virtual spaces built by offshore finance networks. Participants are to include Angus Cameron, lecturer in human geography at the University of Leicester and Goldin+Senneby's chosen emissary; Brian Droitcour, Rhizome staff writer; Keller Easterling, associate professor at the Yale School of Architecture; Ginny Kollak, director of the Office for Parafictional Research and second-year graduate student at the Center for Curatorial Studies, Bard College; and Allan Stoekl, professor of French at Penn State University.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Albertini will be showing two new series of works: a group of sculptures fabricated in ABS plastic using the &quot;fused deposition modeling&quot; process and also several wall mounted, digitally printed, paper collages. Both the sculptures and the collages are developed on the computer using 3D modeling programs.

As with previous work Albertini references art history filtered by personal memory. In both these new series he appropriates a long out of favor modernist device: the &quot;Space Frame&quot;, most notably employed by Giacometti and Bacon.

Albertini notes that, not coincidentally, the computer display or &quot;view port&quot; also functions as a space frame. This becomes apparent in the collages which are comprised of a series of multiple screenshots from the computer display and then recombined in a way that equates with the fractured, time lapse vision of Duchamp's &quot;Nude Descending the Staircase&quot; as well as his acknowledged photographic sources, the works of Etienne-Jules Marey and Eadweard Muybridge.

Bill Albertini, originally from Ireland, lives and works in New York. He has exhibited regularly in Europe and the United States, including: &quot;Mergers and Acquisitions&quot; at The Center for Contemporary Art in Atlanta, Georgia, and &quot;The End(s) of Photography&quot; at the McDonough Museum of Art. ]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[David Zwirner announces Against the Wall, the first solo exhibition by Marlene Dumas since the artist joined the gallery in 2008. The exhibition features new works from 2009 and 2010. Known for her unique approach to canvas and her thought-provoking subject matter, Marlene Dumas is widely considered one of today’s most important painters. Her work is characterized 
by a sensual and gestural technique that is also swift, dry, and minimal, as if under pressure to leave only what is necessary.  
While she lives and works in The Netherlands, the artist was  born and raised in South Africa, and her paintings have often drawn from her own experiences of living with apartheid. For over thirty years, Dumas has merged political discourse,  personal experience, and art historical references in a richly layered body of work. Her paintings integrate complex themes— ranging from segregation, eroticism, or, more generally, the politics of love and war—to explore how image-making is implicitly involved not only in the cultural processes of objectification, but also in the way in which events are documented  and collectively understood. Dumas’s practice is often based upon the translation of found imagery and explores the tension between the photographic documentation of reality and the constructed, imaginary space of painting. The works in this exhibition 
have evolved primarily from media imagery and newspaper clippings documenting Israel and Palestine. However, Dumas’s  representations acknowledge universal themes of instability, isolation, and the lack of communication, while moreover addressing the medium of painting as such. The titles of these works (among them Under Construction; Mindblocks; The Wall) not only describe the motifs depicted, but also refer to the artist’s struggle with the boundaries of her chosen medium: as she herself has noted, “A painting needs a wall to object to.” 
Dumas’s paintings often display a kind of ambiguity of meaning, employing visual “traps” to show how the mind is quick to assume what is being presented in a given image. Her latest works explore the (in)famous walls of this unstable region of the Middle East.

  <Description><![CDATA[Axelle Fine Arts presents the urban landscapes of Patrick Pietropoli which features the shifting perspectives of Paris, New York, Venice, and Florence. Pietropoli's canvases are extremely detailed, large-scale works that characterize the city as an entity. Each painting utilizes color to convey tone, meaning and mood where Pietropoli's devotion to detail and lighting make his seemingly-still images come alive. The gallery will also feature a small collection of the artist's evocative figure paintings.  Pietropoli recently moved from Paris to Brooklyn and will be attending the opening reception.

  <Description><![CDATA[Y Gallery presents the first solo exhibition of New Jersey based artist and policeman Charles Sabba curated by Cecilia Jurado and Ryan Brown.
 
For the last 15 years, Sabba has divided his life between being a police officer, a forensic sketch artist and an old fashioned bohemian (“a race of obstinate dreamers for whom art has remained a faith and not a profession” as he explains).  Part of his daily basic activities are to go and catch criminals before they run away with stolen goods or after a crime that has been committed in a street corner. He has to be that person that guards rules. This constant chasing had made Charles Sabba deeply interested in what it means to steal, the borderlines of what is permitted and what is not. As an artist he got particularly involved in investigating crimes related with art.  But his research goes beyond statistics and reasons to steal.
 
The opening reception will coincide with the 20th anniversary of one of the largest art thefts in world history, the 13 pieces stolen in the Gardner Museum in Boston in 1990. Charles Sabba had made several paintings and drawings about the protagonists of this event, and he also has made many others of the stolen Mona Lisa to name a few. For Y Gallery he will present a series of fingerprint drawings on FBI and New Jersey police department fingerprint cards. There are two groups of drawings, the ones that reproduce stolen art works and the others that portray art thieves. ]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Herman Melville’s great American novel, Moby Dick, is many things, not least of which an examination of Man’s place in the Universe. Using Melville’s novel as personal guide, Shaun O’Dell here appropriates the author’s use of mirroring and vortex to illustrate the boundless nature of these metaphysical concerns. The artist channels the same volatile dynamic into his drawing and film. Capitalizing on a phenomenon inherent to video feedback, O’Dell, in collaboration with video artist Nate Boyce, produces polygonal geometric forms and spiral motifs using sections of John Huston’s 1956 film Moby Dick. By projecting the film back onto itself during moments when the narrative portrays themes of mirroring and the vortex, the artists create an iterative system that literally models metaphysical questions within the novel.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Hagi is among the most celebrated of Japan's traditional wares and played an important part in the evolution of the tea ceremony. The works of the Miwa Kyusetsu dynasty have exemplified the Hagi tradition since 1663, but those of Kyusetsu XII place a modern, even iconoclastic interpretation on the family's art. Kyusetsu XII discusses his work and role as the 12th head of the Kyusetsu dynasty.

Moderated by Joe Earle, Vice President and Director, Japan Society Gallery.

  <Description><![CDATA[Couwenberg draws from the aesthetics of his California experience (hotrods, surf and skate culture, and arcade games) to layer forms into a contemporary conversation with mid-century modernism. Influenced by his relationship with mentor, Karl Benjamin, Alex Couwenberg builds a stratum of shapes and textures to converse with and reminisce on the not too distant past. The layers in his work reflect this relationship with history, I wanted to find a middle ground between expressionism and hard-edge abstraction. I was really into laying down grounds of paint, leaving the hard raw edges but exposing the underpainting, revealing the history of the painting. If the familiar muscular dynamism of Couwenberg s earlier work appears tamed, today s work is less removed and more intimate like a story that is more character based than event based, a kind of contemplative soliloquy. With increased painterly complexity, the work is honed and intimate. Loosening the austerity of the hard edge, the striations and loose outlines add risk to the execution and, with more at stake, the work is quiet and heartfelt; think Miles Davis move from Bebop. As Couwenberg's work is still very masculine, this show represents a quiet side.

Born and raised in Southern California, Alex Couwenberg received his BFA from the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, CA and his MFA from Claremont Graduate School in Claremont, CA. He exhibits regularly throughout California, Idaho, Georgia and New York. Couwenberg s work is in a number of public, corporate and private collections, including the Crocker Art Museum and the Long Beach Museum of Art. Alex Couwenberg currently lives and works in Los Angeles, CA.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[In 1994, well before the terms &quot;eco-friendly&quot;, &quot;green revolution&quot; or even &quot;re-cycling&quot; were household words, PORTIA MUNSON's Pink Project was the stand out art work in the New Museum's now legendary Bad Girls exhibition. This will be the first reconstruction of this project in New York since it was originally shown. Consisting of thousands of found pink plastic and rubber objects spread out on a table, this careful arrangement of society's junk cast-offs causes visual overload, instilling simultaneous delight and disgust within the viewer. The nightmarish array of objects created to appeal to women and girls, includes hair curlers, pacifiers, fingernails, combs, dildos, barrettes, toys, tampons, kitchen gadgets and hundreds of other items representing the conclusion of mass consumption and seduction. Pink Project was an inspirational piece that preceded society's global attention to the environment and foreshadowed the art world's response to it as well. In fact, Pink Project was originally reviewed almost entirely as a treatise on feminism rather than the environment. There will also be a new work entitled Green Piece: Sarcophagus, that is a continuation of her practice, and speaks directly to the commodification of the of the green ethos. ]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Janet Cardiff and George Bures Miller are internationally recognized for their immersive multimedia works. Incorporating dramatic audio tracks into their visually striking installations, the artists create engaging and transcendent multisensory experiences which draw the viewer into ambiguous and unsettling narratives. Their works address grand themes such as time, voyeurism, dreams, and mystery. Providing only fragments of information, the completion of the storylines, images and thoughts are left to be formed in the minds of the individual viewers. 

Cardiff and Miller's new installation, The Carnie, combines the artists' interests in spectacle, narrative, and sculptural sound. A small children's' carousel is activated by a start button. It grinds slowly up to speed, while lights and music emanate from the structure and moving shadows are cast onto the walls. Working with Freida Abtan, an electronic composer, Cardiff and Miller deconstruct the musical source and relocate it throughout the structure of the carousel so that the movement of the sound occurs horizontally as well as vertically. The results transform the carnival ride into a layered and evocative encounter.

The second gallery will feature another new work, The Cabinet of Curiousness, an antique wooden card catalogue with 20 drawers. Functioning as an interactive piece, the opening of each drawer activates a voice or piece of music from within the cabinet. The audience, assuming the role of a DJ, may experience the clarity of sound from one drawer or a cacophony of sounds from numerous drawers opened simultaneously as the cabinet is played like an instrument. A contrast emerges between the obsolete system of cataloguing single pieces of data and our current tendency to inundate ourselves with excessive information. An investigation of knowledge, time, and our relationship to objects and music, The Cabinet of Curiousness creates a playful aural experience. ]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[In both the Christian European and Tibetan Buddhist artistic traditions, graphic images of death and the afterlife are used as reminders that life is fleeting and that we must act virtuously. Death knows no social barriers-rich or poor, powerful or meek-and all must inevitably face judgment for their deeds on earth. Remember That You Will Die: Death Across Cultures presents eerily beautiful, and at times frightening, images from both traditions in the form of paintings, sculptures, quotidian objects, and ritual items made from human remains. These provocative works of art are meant to startle viewers out of apathy, urge them to contemplate their mortality, and inspire them to use their short time on earth to secure a desirable place in the afterlife.
Remember That You Will Die is complemented by one contemporary work, a video by the American artist Bill Viola entitled The Three Women, which is being exhibited in New York for the first time.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Since the late eighties – early nineties, Desi Santiago’s artistic practice has been strongly influenced by subcultural scenes. A visual and performance artist, his large-scale installations often involve performative and theatrical platforms, richly layered with philosophical, historical and social references. His first solo exhibition at envoy enterprises, “Declare Void,” comprises of a small shrine of six black French-polished wooden boxes and two inflatable sculptures. Embracing the symbolic and the iconic, Santiago’s work creates truly ceremonial experiences. The six monolithic boxes, each containing their own power, seem to symbolize the automotive black boxes that record data during a crash. Two of the boxes in the installation are empty (having once contained the inflatable sculptures), while the other four contain objects that can be viewed upon request. By keeping the boxes closed, the artist challenges the viewer’s conflicting emotions of curiosity and fear of its contents. The challenge is heightened when the viewer must request the boxes to be opened. By placing a plastic Star Trek cup carefully between the artist's bronzed baby shoes (all three filled with Goya rice), Santiago presents the adult world as one of mystery, while also conjuring up an intimate shrine that represents his family. Juxtaposing the intimate and the monumental, two black, large-scale inflatable sculptures command the space. A 7-foot-tall shape-shifting shaman, representing ‘the child,’ stands facing a 6.5-foot-tall suspended female head with crystalled earrings, which represents ‘the mother.’ The choice of material reflects the artist’s desire to breathe life into subjects whose lives have been lost.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Jang explored various night landscapes around the world in his previous Collusion series. While the process of making the Collusion series exposed him to nature, now he seems to have discovered how nature can bring him closer to who he is. Even though his new body of works, which is being shown in this exhibition, looks afar from the previous series, it is part of the inevitable journey that leads him to where he stands today. His provocative and illuminating new works represent his autobiography through photography. His perspective appears to be more introverted and more intimate with the medium than before. He portrays himself and family members through the use of overlapping so as to literally and metaphorically express his submerged identity. 
 
In Pray-1st (2010), for example, Jang bluntly epitomizes who he is and from where he has come. According to critic Lyle Rexer, “It is the most autobiographical of his works, bearing direct evidence of himself and his past, and yet it is the most abstract and the least directly readable.” This work encapsulates and defines the artist inside out. ]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Wall Flowers marks Norman Mooney’s first adventures in color sculpture having previously worked only in grays, blacks and whites.   Wallflower no. 1 measuring six feet in diameter is an explosion of pollen yellows.  The piece consists of over 500 aluminum castings all projecting outward four feet off the wall.    Another larger wall flower in crimson resin  having a diameter of 6-7 fee t will also be a part of the exhibition.  

In addition to the wall flowers,  Mooney’s exhibition will include the three final windseeds from a group of six he has executed.  The first three such sculptures are in the permanent collection of Richard and Helen DeVos in Michigan, founders of Amway International.  While like the wall flowers executed in cast aluminum, these white eight foot diameter sculptures seem light enough to move in a breeze and have been liked to  dandelion seeds among other natural objects.   

In both styles of sculpture, Mooney is inspired by his larger experience of the natural world and his attempt to understand the joy, wonder and beauty one experiences when feeling the first rays of the sun on your face in the morning, the explosion of color bursting from a flower or the etherealness of seeds floating on the wind.  Formally, Mooney hopes to challenge the viewer to evaluate their place in the natural world and to engage them in a larger intuited reality. ]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[FIAF presents an exhibition reflecting the art world’s new interest in paper as a creative medium. Acclaimed French artist Odon’s thrilling, luminous spiral paper works employ this traditional material in a revolutionary and beautiful way.

Early in his career, Odon’s intensely personal and mysterious images were inspired by the Cobra movement (Copenhagen, Brussels, Amsterdam), a group of expressionist painters interested in freedom of color and form. In the 1970s Odon began experimenting with the inclusion of cut and woven modifications on the surfaces of his paintings. By the late 1970s this had evolved into an increasingly complex process of cutting, shredding, and braiding paper, painted by him on both sides, into never-ending, sunburst-like forms that he calls mandalas. The ancient form of the mandala, meaning circle in Sanskrit, is a common symbol of sacred power in many cultures, representing a cosmic diagram viewed from the human perspective.

Odon’s works are dream-like meditations on the order of the world. The artist works slowly, weaving the flat, meticulously painted paper into magical endless webs. Through these circular sculptures, Odon presents the infinite in finite form and alludes to the natural energy and tension of circular motion. The resulting works are both spectacular and thought provoking.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[The Temple of Booom is a collaborative installation by the artist-run alternative space Cinders Gallery from Brooklyn, NY. Artists Kelie Bowman, Kyle Ranson and STO will create a site-specific installation that combines paintings, prints, drawings, murals and sculpture. Exploring places of worship, rituals, shrines, music, and congregation, Cinders will build their own place of spiritual assembly based not on any one religious faith but on the faith of our loose-knit community of artists, performers, experimenters, and musicians.

Happening concurrently with the Austin music festival SXSW, Temple of Booom will feature a specially curated series of performances inside the installation that will act as a welcome alternative to the usual bar and club venues during the fest and will connect the often disparate crowds of music and art under one beautiful makeshift roof. The renowned Austin gallery Okay Mountain will host the exhibition and Tom Tom Magazine will curate special drum

  <Description><![CDATA[Central to my work is what I refer to as the law of opposites; I believe that there are polarities between things […] Positive/negative, the idea of pacing a painting in terms of complexity and simplicity, the idea of public versus private, are elements that have always interested me and that I've always tried in some way to build into the character of the paintings.
--Ed Paschke

Ed Paschke taught me what it meant to be a professional artist. His paintings are like drugs, but in a good way: they are among the strongest physical images that I've ever seen. Their effect is neurological.
--Jeff Koons

Gagosian Gallery presents an exhibition of the work of Ed Paschke, curated by Jeff Koons. As a student, Koons admired Paschke's work and became his assistant in Chicago in the mid-1970s while attending the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Paschke would prove to be an important mentor and formative inspiration for the young artist. The exhibition includes loans from key public and private collections in the U.S. and abroad, as well as rarely seen works from the Ed Paschke Foundation.

Born in Chicago in 1939, Paschke studied at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago during the height of the Imagist movement in the late fifties, while supporting himself as a commercial artist. He avidly collected photograph-related visual media in all its forms, from newspapers, magazines, and posters to film, television, and video, with a preference for imagery that tended toward the risqué and the marginal. Through this he studied the ways in which these media transformed and stylized the experience of reality, which in turn impacted on his consideration of formal and philosophical questions concerning veracity and invention in his own painting. At the same time, he sought living and working situations -- from factory hand to psychiatric aide -- that would connect him with Chicago's diverse ethnic communities as well as feed his fascination for gritty urban life and human abnormality. Thus he developed a distinctive oeuvre that oscillated between personal and aesthetic introspection and confronting social and cultural values.

In his early paintings Paschke both incorporated and challenged depictions of legendary figures by transforming them into corps exquis, such Pink Lady (1970) where he set Marilyn Monroe's famous head atop the suited body of an anonymous male accordion player; or Painted Lady (1971) where he redesigned screen legend Claudette Colbert as a tattooed lady fresh from a freak show. Another direction through which he explored the features and quirks of meaning and logic was in paintings of leather accessories interpreted as anthropomorphized fetish objects, such as Hairy Shoes (1971) and Bag Boots (1972). In the decades separating Pink Lady and Matinee (1987), Paschke shifted his interest from print to electronic media and a dazzling spectrum of televisual waves and flashes began to fill the paintings. Forms and images disintegrated, broken apart in the fabric of electronic disturbance and its surface. In Matinee, the face of Elvis Presley is fragmented into a field of glowing swathes of color with lips and eyes alone suggesting the human presence beneath the electronic overlay.

Paschke made use of an overhead projector to layer images, which he then rendered using the traditional and time-consuming medium of oil painting. He began with an underpainting in black and white, then addressed it with refined systems of colored glazing or impasto to enliven the optical and physical textures of his painting. With this original and painstaking process he created a formal parallel with the black-and-white-to-color progression in the historical development of printing, film, and television images, at the same time moving the subject matter from the particular to the non-specific to allow a wider range of interpretation. In his later work, once again forms became more solidified, moving back towards certain kinds of psychologized presences and the edgy tension that characterized his earlier work.

Unlike most of his Pop predecessors with their unthreatening embrace of popular culture, Paschke gravitated towards the images that exemplified the underside of American values -- fame, violence, sex, and money – a preference that he shared with Andy Warhol, who was one of his foremost inspirations. Although long considered to be an artist of his own time and place, his explorations of the archetypes and clichés of media identity prefigured the appropriative gestures of the &quot;Pictures Generation,&quot; and for a new generation of global artists his totemic, eye-popping paintings have come to embody the essence of cosmopolitan art.

The exhibition is accompanied by a fully illustrated catalogue, which includes essays by Jeff Koons and art critic Dave Hickey as well as reprints of important essays by the Chicago critic and art historian Dennis Adrian and New Museum curator Richard Flood.

  <Description><![CDATA[For his latest exhibition, Ryan McGinley has shifted his focus away from constructing a youthful sublime within the boundless American landscape and has concentrated instead on creating imagery within the confines of his New York studio. The result is a surprisingly restrained, open-ended study of black and white portraiture. Here we see McGinley not as a chronicler of youthful adventure, but as an engine for an almost scientific cataloging of a kind of emotional optimism.

McGinley's portraits are the result of a meticulous studio practice, in which thousands of images are taken of each sitter; each shoot eventually being edited down to its one defining &quot;moment&quot;. During the course of two years, McGinley photographed about 150 hand-picked subjects from across the globe. Bringing these models into his studio and stripping them of their clothing, the artist has succeeded in answering his own question: &quot;What would a classical Ryan McGinley black and white portrait look like?&quot;

In addition to the black and white photographs, the exhibition will also include three large-scale images in color, which locate the other works within the continuity of McGinley's oeuvre.  Characteristically exuberant, these photographs add a narrative backdrop to the exhibition, which initiates an ambiguous loop between the two approaches. McGinley's photographs have always mined the space between chaos and control, negotiating the space between the really-real and the only-apparently-so. In this exhibition the push and pull of nature and the studio, of sumptuous color and its absence, create a dynamic tension.

  <Description><![CDATA[For those who wonder how commercial galleries decide who and what to exhibit, NY Studio Gallery (NYSG) has demystified the selection process with Reality Gallery: American Slide-All (RGASA). This exhibit spoofs reality-based shows so popular in today's mass media through a contest that encourages widespread participation by national and international artists, increasing their exposure and offering a chance at a solo exhibition in New York City. How does the Reality Gallery work?  Now in its fourth year and increasing in popularity, NYSG's judges panel narrows the field from nearly four hundred to as many as thirty finalists.  The top two finalists are awarded a solo exhibit.  The remaining finalists' images and exhibition concepts are included in a group slideshow within the gallery.  The gallery-going public is invited to vote on their favorite work and the resulting winner is awarded a “People’s Choice” solo exhibition at NY Studio Gallery.  NYSG accepts submissions in all media from emerging, mid-career and established artists worldwide.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Following the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854 and the subsequent public survey along the Sixth Principal Meridian, the Great Plains was officially opened to development and the surveyor's grid provided the basis for cataloguing the open expanse. Drawing on the remarkable history of 19th century survey photography, Joe Deal's new series of photographs, West and West, serves as a meditation on landscape and history, and their place in the realms of imagination and representation.

Robert Mann Gallery will exhibit a selection of photographs from this body of work, which continues Deal's keen observation of the forms and markers of built and natural landscapes. While West and West eschews the imagery of development for which Deal is best known, this project still connotes the impact of human-initiated processes by asking the viewer to think historically and consider what in a landscape has changed and also what has not changed. Focusing on the Great Plains also marks a return to the region where Deal grew up. West and West offered the opportunity to reconnect with what he calls &quot;the dreamed landscape&quot; of his childhood, now framed by the complicating knowledge of the history that shaped the land.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Gagosian Gallery presents an exhibition of recent paintings by Alberto Di Fabio.

Di Fabio's work is inspired by the fundamental laws of the physical world, as well as organic elements and their interrelation. His paintings and works on paper merge the worlds of art and science, depicting natural forms and biological structures in vivid color and imaginative detail. Throughout his abstract images, he has developed and expanded his interest in the natural world. In his early paintings, he examined the structures of flora and fauna, as well as eco- and astral systems, moving on to the study of genetics, DNA, and the synaptic receptors of the brain, and the realm of pharmaceutical and medical research.

In his latest work, Di Fabio investigates the perennial human fascination with the relationship between art and the cosmos, addressing the laws that regulate chaos in the universe, such as the theory of relativity and quantum theory. Di Fabio cites a broad range of influences and inspirations from Italian Futurist Giacomo Balla, to post-war modernists such as Enrico Castellani, Lucio Fontana, and Robert Ryman. Speed of Light (2009), for example, represents light rays in minimal form, meditating on the vastness and infinity of the medium. In this new series, Di Fabio expands his vision into meticulous detail using dots and strips of acrylic paint to interrupt the spatial field of the painting. Each of the multiple centers of the composition serves as both a cognitive and visual cue.

  <Description><![CDATA[Lyons Wier Gallery presents Anthony Lister's second solo exhibition with the gallery, How to Catch a Time Traveler. The exhibition follows directly on the heals of Lister's 50-foot, site-specific mural, &quot;Red Dot&quot;, created for the Pulse Art Fair, NYC (2010), showcasing Lister's undeniable signature style that has garnered him international acclaim.

Known in the Low Brow movement for his intriguing, playful hybrid of street art, expressionism, and cubism all manifested in non-traditional media such as spray paint; Lister's new body of work shows the tongue-in-cheek frivolity of his earlier pieces developing (or decaying) into a more mature and disturbing direction. The deformities and un-done aesthetic resolve of Lister's work provides viewers with a concretization of contemporary societies' psyche - or, as the artist himself states, &quot;making the obvious more, well, obvious&quot;.

In his latest series, Lister continues his examination of pop culture and how a generation raised on American television processes and interprets the symbols and imagery of their youth. The result is gender bending cartoon characters, superheroes such as Wonder Woman and Bat Girl, and other villains of unusual shape and size, that uncover the unconscious sexual desires and repressed taboos embedded in these seemingly innocuous popular icons. The artist insists that his paintings have no overarching message or sociological comment, he simply sees his superheroes and villains as the classical gods and goddesses of our modern society, and likes to toy with the symbols and characters so many of us have grown up with.

The work contains a circular perspective, one that shifts between, even confuses the non-rational inner workings of the child and adult mind. Yet this inescapable paradox of the human condition, wherein we are at all times evolving from and dependent upon the experiences of youth, is unlocked by Lister's painterly antics, and revealed to be the utterly serious and impossibly ridiculous condition it is. Lister's practice is indeed about reality. A reality his work does not claim to resolve, but rather to question, loudly.]]></Description>
