  <Description><![CDATA[Terry Rose’s first New York City solo exhibition features a new suite of paintings executed on aluminum. Residing in the liminal space between abstraction and representation, Rose’s imagery emerges, elides, and expands in a constant state of becoming. There is a magical sense of momentary arrival, then a whisper, urging us to remain in the present, as change is inevitable. Conjuring evolving galaxies, the work explores the microcosm and the macrocosm, and their undeniable interconnectedness.

Rose works flat, beginning with a base coat of wet varnish, dropping in oils, enamels and micron pigments. He is dependent on the fluid nature of his medium, as substances move across and through the varnish. Chemical and physical reactions yield unpredictable forms. Random calligraphic lines appear, resembling a map’s topography. Welcoming chance interaction, the artist creates swirling, cascading passages, occasionally invoking aspects of ancient Chinese landscape painting. ]]></Description>

  <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[Mixed Greens announces a site-specific window installation by Chris Coffin. He will use Mixed Greens’ exterior windows to create one large, glowing Duratrans piece depicting the undulating coastline of Montauk. 

The water has always inspired Chris Coffin. Influenced by his childhood on Long Island and his background as a lifeguard, swimmer and surfer, his overall body of work is comprised of a wide variety of media including photography, video, installation, performance and drawing. For his window installation, Coffin expands upon a current drawing series, Islands and Coastlines, in which he depicts the water’s edge in rippling, repetitive graphite lines reminiscent of waves, seismic maps and electrocardiograms. 

In order for Coffin to draw an area, he must have first experienced that stretch of coastline either by swimming, kayaking or surfing the distance. The final drawing, which appears as a bird’s eye view, is in fact tracing the artist’s path. It documents his personal connection to the water and the space where ocean meets land. He uses the languages of science, cartography and technology to create relationships with nature while addressing his own autobiographical history and geography.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[The series of Cool Shanshui is Zeng Han's way of observation and consideration to Chinese traditional landscape painting, at the same time the outcome of his observing and describing the contemporary &quot;Shanshui&quot; while using the product of western science and culture: photography. 

&quot;Soul Stealer&quot; is a mysterious four-part series of portraits and landscapes, evaluating a theatrical and spiritual connection of modern and traditional role play between characters in ancient Chinese operas and those of global popular culture. The Soul Stealer series are: Part I: &quot;Landplay&quot; (from Anshun, Guizhou Province), Part II: &quot;Cosplay&quot; (Shenzhen), Part III:&quot;Mulian Opera&quot; (Shaoyang, Hunan Province), and Part IV: &quot;World of Warcraft&quot;(Chongqing).]]></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>

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[Mixed Greens presents Joseph Smolinski’s second solo exhibition with the gallery.  He will exhibit drawing, sculpture, and video related to the environment and the power struggles between nature and technology.

This new body of work marks the expansion of Smolinski’s focus.  Over the past few years, Smolinski created a world in which cellular communication towers disguised as trees infiltrated the landscape. There, technology proved victorious through these hybrid forms.  In the new works, Smolinski visualizes a turning of the tide, where animals and nature play more active roles in their fate.

A new series of drawings, titled Disconnected, directly pits animals against the parasitic cell-tower trees. Here Smolinski envisions a time when the animals decide to reclaim their habitats. And in related projects such as Taking Back the Jetty and Cemetery (no doubt influenced by oil companies' recent attempts to exploit the site of Robert Smithson's Spiral Jetty), Smolinski questions both the history and preservation of art and the environment as we exhaust our supply of cheap fuel.

Finally, in an installation titled Broken Bough, a tree limb with an attached cell tower seems to have crashed through the gallery wall.  Still blinking, the tower appears a casualty, struggling to survive; it’s metal leaves wilted and crumbling.

Beginning of the End brings these projects together to reflect on our current interactions with the landscape. It poses questions related to our constant struggle to control the environment and imagines an optimistic, though sometimes apocalyptic, view of the future.

Joseph Smolinski lives and works in New Haven, CT.  He received his BFA from the University of Wisconsin and his MFA from the University of Connecticut, Storrs (2001).  In 2009 alone, he was featured in eleven exhibitions. Group exhibition venues include Diverse Works in Houston, TX (2009); MASS MoCA, North Adams, MA (2008/2009); the Aldrich Museum of Contemporary Art, Ridgefield, CT (2004, 2008); McDonough Museum of Art, Youngstown, OH (2007); the Wadsworth Athenaeum Museum of Art, Hartford, CT (2007); The Cleveland Institute of Art (2005); and the Yale University School of Art, New Haven, CT (2004). Solo exhibition venues include Swarm Gallery in Oakland, CA (2009); Seton Gallery at the University of New Haven in CT (2009); Real Art Ways in Hartford, CT (2006); and ArtSpace in New Haven, CT (2004).

  <Description><![CDATA[Paul Kasmin Gallery presents an upcoming exhibition of paintings by Simon Hantaï at the 293 Tenth Avenue space.  Curated by Molly Warnock, this will be Hantaï's first showing in America since his inclusion in the exhibition &quot;As Painting: Division and Displacement&quot; at the Wexner Center for the Arts in 2001.

Born in Hungry in 1922, Hantaï' moved to France in 1949 and became immediately known throughout Europe for his large, abstract canvasses of profound, saturated color. Deeply motivated by Jackson Pollock's gestural abstractions, Hantaï strove to produce a new method of painting that would redefine the role of the artist and restructure the picture plane. In the early 1960's, he began applying paint to folded canvasses. This systematic &quot;pliage&quot; or &quot;Folding Method&quot; brought him great success, including a show by that name at Galerie Jean Fournier in 1971. Throughout the rest of his art-making life, Hantaï devoted himself to developing new techniques that slowed down or automated the painterly gesture—an idea resonant with Surrealism, Pollock's expressionism, or Matisse's cut-outs.

Enormously respected in postwar France, Hantaï' was granted a full-scale retrospective at the Centre Georges Pompidou in 1976, and was the country's representative at the 1982 Venice Biennale. Admired by artists such as Buren, Parmentier, Viallat and Buraglio, his legacy continues to exert influence over art-making practices today and is in the permanent collections of museums such as the Centre Georges Pompidou and the Musée National d'Art Moderne.

  <Description><![CDATA[An Enlarged Heart takes language and light as central forms and metaphor with new works in neon, lenticular, photo etching, and embroidery. The exhibition is accompanied by a series of public events and performances.
 
deVries' work is narrative and responds to cyclical transformations from girlhood, womanhood, and motherhood. The present exhibition incorporates the rhythms of daily living while exploring the nature of presence and absence. An Enlarged Heart draws on textual works in the artist's six-year old son's hand, as he copies phrases dictated by his mother.  Rendered in neon, these transcriptions crystallize the moments when language and meaning coalesce. &quot;Infinite Capacity&quot; and &quot;For Goodness Sake&quot; also appear in a series of collaborative drawings with her son embroidered on tea towels. deVries writes, &quot;New words and their meanings, movements, skills, and experiences are part the parent's every day parade. I am staggered by each moment's fullness then disappearance. I re-learn the power of words as my children work towards literacy.&quot;
 
Continuing her use of lenticular photography and exploring new fabrications transforming her photographic imagery, deVries matches the triumph of language acquisition with the reconciliation of loss including that of a family friend who died from complications due to an enlarged heart. Other works document marigold-dying processes, household compost, and seasonal shifts. In a photo etching created at Ten Grand Press, Victorian writing exercises and a mobile device's chat simultaneously explore how writing is communication both shared and internal.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[There has always been a remarkable enthusiasm for the work of Elliott Hundley and it has been a particular pleasure to witness the continued growth of interest in his practice and to share his work with more and more people. Coming on the heels of a fantastic year for Hundley, we are pleased to announce his second solo exhibition in New York. Working across the widest array of media, Hundley ruptures the boundaries between collage and painting, performance and photography, sculpture and assemblage. 

Bringing form to the Greek tragedy The Bacchae by Euripides, this exhibition draws from Hundley's interest in mythology, art history, philosophy, and drama. The new works are titled after the play's central characters, becoming elaborations of the characters themselves – the gallery is transformed not so much into a stage set, but into the physical evocation of the text. Transcending illustration, the play works as a vehicle to explore ideas of exuberance and ecstasy, mourning and remembrance, and the construction of form.

  <Description><![CDATA[Joshua Liner Gallery presents the New York/Tokyo-based collective the Barnstormers in their first group exhibition at the gallery. With thirty-five artists featured, this is the largest exhibition to date at Joshua Liner, which will double its gallery space temporarily to accommodate the special event. Expanding to host the collective’s full spectrum of art practices, the gallery will show individual works in painting, printmaking, photography, video, installation, and other mediums.

Over the past decade, the Barnstormers have created large-scale collaborative paintings, films, and performances. The group formed in 1999 after a pilgrimage of twenty-five artists to the rural town of Cameron, North Carolina, where they painted barns, tractor-trailers, shacks, and farm equipment, and continue to return to paint new murals. The Barnstormers’“motion paintings” best demonstrate the range and flexibility of their collaboration: each time- lapse video depicts a mural in the making as members dart about, adding and effacing marks, evolving the image with each passing second. A 2005 project included the disassembly/relocation/reassembly of a barn captured on video in a time-lapse flurry of activity. Improvisation, in spirit and practice, is the Barnstormer ethos.

  <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[The Hendersons Will All Be There includes collage-based work by Dianna Frid, Jason Gringler, Matthew Rich, Steve Roden, Letha Wilson and Halley Zien. The title of this show is taken from the Beatles song “Being For The Benefit of Mr. Kite,” a flowing sound collage that was the most musically complex song from the seminal 1967 Sgt. Pepper’s album. During a phase in which the Beatles were experimenting with alternatives to strictly linear compositions, “Mr. Kite” was spliced together from eclectic sources utilizing modernist concepts rooted in the notion and practice of collage.

Dianna Frid will include four works from her Releases series in which she uses material from earlier projects: aluminum, mylar, and fragments of cloth left over from her artist’s books. In this work, Frid began with the premise of the circle at the center of a square and created different compositional possibilities that arose from this idea. She lives and works in Chicago and exhibits at devening projects and editions.  She will have a solo show this spring at Neues Kunstforum, Cologne.

Jason Gringler’s large-scale works utilize industrial materials such as cut plexiglas, mirrors, wood, acrylic and spray enamel. Through a process of construction, deconstruction and reconstruction, Gringler creates a complex and reflective work that becomes, as the viewer moves, an almost cinematic environment.  Jason Gringler is represented by Galerie Stefan Röpke in Cologne and has upcoming solo exhibitions at Parisian Laundry in Montreal and Galerie Andreas Binder in Munich.

Matthew Rich’s work is made piecemeal taping together separate painted paper shapes and growing his piece gradually in size and complexity. In this body of work, Rich explores painting as a method of building a surface based compositional structure without traditional brushwork and without a unifying backing structure.   Mathew Rich lives and works in Boston and is represented by samsøn.   He has exhibited at devening projects and editions in Chicago, IL and Project Row Houses in Houston, TX.

Steve Roden works in a variety of different media using various systems and scores. Of Frozen Music and Liquid Architecture 8 uses a self-devised translation system to allow a page of classical music notation to generate a visual work. Also exhibited will be works in which Roden steps away from systems and scores to create collage with magazine cuts ups and colored pencil marks. He is represented by Susanne Vielmetter Gallery and his upcoming projects include: an artist residency and exhibition at the Chinati Foundation in Marfa, Texas and solo exhibitions at The Armory Center for the Arts in Pasadena, CA and Pomona College Museum of Art in Claremont, CA.

Letha Wilson uses imagery from the natural world to investigate diverse relationships between architecture and nature and between the gallery space and the American wilderness.  She embraces a range of media including photography, sculpture and collage.  Her artwork has been shown at many venues including the Bronx Museum of the Art, Socrates sculpture park, Fredrieke Taylor Gallery and the Aldrich Museum of Art.

Halley Zien’s paintings seek to establish a visual language that portrays the emotional inner life of its characters. She begins with automatic sketches and then adds magazine cut outs and paint, allowing for a dialog between these elements to grow organically.  She creates distorted forms to incite an exaggerated drama. Halley Zien’s collages and drawings are currently included in the flat files at Pierogi Gallery.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Jack Shainman Gallery presents burgeon an exhibition of new sculpture by Los Angeles artist Ross Rudel. For this body of work Rudel has drawn upon dreams, odd personal experiences and his ongoing spiritual relationship with nature. Resurrection of the Green Man was inspired by a dream in which a man was murdered in the Mojave Desert and his corpse sprouted vegetation that transformed the landscape into a lush Eden. A chance meeting with a Yoruba Priest and a related encounter with an urban hawk led to the creation of Solicitation. A long aesthetic struggle with the strange gnarls on the surface of a log found while hiking resulted in the double-helix carving Sequence.

The materials that Rudel incorporates in his work often have personal or symbolic significance. The Green Man and related work in the exhibit were created entirely of algae from the Los Angeles River that blooms prodigiously every Spring following the purging winter floods. An antler from the Black Hills, manzaneta root burl from a spiritual center at Mt Shasta and fabric related to Rudel’s deceased brother were incorporated in Solicitation. The playing cards used to create Proprietary Dream Mandala had run a full cycle at the poker tables of the Silverado Casino in Deadwood, SD, which Rudel believes imbued them with significant residual energy. Humor finds its way into the Mandala, as Rudel saw this artwork in a dream at a collector’s home and obsessed about plagiarizing it. ]]></Description>

  <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[Don Joint’s newest series, Waldameer, is a visual return to the artist’s boyhood memories of the historic Pennsylvania amusement park of the same name (the tenth oldest in America). Joint’s gestural washes of paint and ink create a magical atmosphere, a floating world in which carnivalesque images of clowns, toys, animals, rides and games combine with visual evocations of Japanese culture –– a poetic conceit inspired by the artist’s childhood musings on the phrase “Made in Japan”, stamped onto every colorful toy prize won at the amusement park.]]></Description>

  <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[Raandesk Gallery of Art presents an exhibition of mixed-media works by Robert Kent Wilson. Drawing from a selection of works created between 2000 and 2010, Robert Kent Wilson: Pixel by Pixel presents an overview of the artist's evolution throughout the past 10 years. On view will be richly hued abstract landscapes and object studies that draw corners, crevices, and background imagery to the forefront in striking investigations of color, texture, focus, and form.

Taking as his starting point what he calls &quot;discarded stimuli&quot;, or those normally overlooked points of focus, Wilson assembles collages made of written text and found materials such as discarded photographs, color sketches, leaves, and tree bark. A small cropped-out area of this preliminary &quot;sketch&quot; is then enlarged to as much as 100 times its original size, digitally printed, and mounted or framed using pieces of architectural material such as beams, doors, and molding. Without pure figuration or sharpness of focus, the resulting works bring once-unnoticed details into sharp relief. Organic patterns and textures come together with bold colors in candid and revelatory explorations of small spaces, quiet details, and transitions in space and time. ]]></Description>

  <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 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[Forum Gallery presents an exhibition of fifteen bold new drawings by Susan Hauptman. Hauptman’s highly refined drawings are difficult to categorize. Realistic and idealized, austere and playful, exposed and secretive: these incongruities keep her audience on their toes. Created in the four years since her last exhibition at Forum Gallery, the works in the current exhibition take Hauptman’s career-long exploration of the principles of drawing in charcoal one step further. The artist intends these works as studies on the basic structure of line, shading and tonality. The smooth surface of each drawing belies the subtle complexities of their composition: each gesture and object stands in for a part of the artist’s life. In each of these preternaturally realistic portraits the artist has chosen an unusual element to pair with her constant medium, charcoal: plastic charms affixed to the paper with encaustic encircle the artist’s larger-than-life neck in &quot;Self-Portrait (with charms),&quot; 2008, while feathers protrude from the picture plane and decorate her pointed hat in &quot;Self-Portrait (with feathers),&quot; 2007. Incorporating these objects gives the viewer a playful way to relate to each drawing and a shared knowledge with the artist.

  <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
performances.]]></Description>

  <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[Since garnering attention in the early 1990s for arresting portraiture of her friends and partners in the gay, lesbian, and trans leather community, Opie’s work has moved across genres to capture unique visions of the varied individuals and communities that comprise the diversity of American culture. Each time she approaches a new subject, be it California surfers or her recent body of work focusing on high school football teams, Opie creates photographs that are both beautiful and innovative visions and insightful portraits of the social contexts she explores.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Known for his channel-surfing aesthetic, Kolk splices together familiar imagery and furious gesture to create large-scale collage and deviant sculpture. Whereas his early line drawings depict a stark and fragile youth culture, his recent work illustrates a manic utterance of contemporary life. This will be the artist’s second solo exhibition at Fredericks &amp; Freiser.

Kolk vehemently portrays his world with fluctuating notions of the self. Edged with an almost child-like imagination, he identifies his fragmented musings with an amalgamation of images. Combining media clippings, delicate drawing and untamed abstraction, Kolk delineates this intrinsic language. Whether he depicts the introduction of a man and a woman scrawled across pages of newspaper circulars or myriad impressions of rural life as experienced from a speeding car, Kolk takes gentle ideas and electrifies them.]]></Description>

  <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[powerHouse Books celebrates the publication of The Brooklyn Navy Yard, the first monograph by photographer John Bartelstone, with an accompanying exhibition of photographic prints at The powerHouse Arena. 

About The Brooklyn Navy Yard: New York City's largest and oldest industrial facility, the historic Brooklyn Navy Yard occupies 250-acres on the East River between the Williamsburg and Manhattan Bridges, and is presently one of New York City's major industrial sites. One of the last remnants of Brooklyn's industrial supremacy, the Yard has experienced tremendous change: functioning from the age of wind to that of diesel. As a cradle of naval evolution, the Yard has had to reinvent itself constantly, and this is made evident by the presence of buildings and structures spanning from the 1830s to the 1950s. The Navy Yard was shut down in 1966 and reopened again in 1971 when the City of New York bought it with the intention of redevelopment. Great ships are still repaired there, and the Yard, now an industrial park with a variety of manufacturers and light industries, functions as a refuge from a city that has mostly forgotten that a mixed economy is a key to its survival. 

The Brooklyn Navy Yard, the first monograph by John Bartelstone, offers a quiet and striking look at the Yard as a time capsule of industrial New York. The Yard today is a fusion of the sublime and the practical, with eerie abandoned elements existing side by side with vibrant businesses. Bartelstone's camera is partial to the former. The images show a place out of time, where World War II New York is still palpable. Bartelstone has been photographing the buildings and structures of the Yard since 1994. His photographs are neither a history of the Navy Yard nor a depiction of its role as a modern industrial park; the book instead offers a structured impression of a dreamscape. The book has been printed in a limited run of 1000 collectible copies. ]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[The Elizabeth Harris Gallery presents “Nonpasts,” an exhibition of recent paintings, sculpture, installation and works on paper by Greg Lindquist. While previously Lindquist has focused on the location and material-specific character of his paintings, he has recently begun to think about issues these sites evoke in a larger, more conceptual and historical context. As a negation of “past” and evoking the spaces in between tenses, “nonpast” recalls ideas of interstitial space such as Robert Smithson's ideas of non-sites and Rosalind Kraus's expansion of the forms and spaces defining boundaries of landscape, sculpture and architecture. In Lindquist's various depictions of architectural ruins (as near as Brooklyn and as far as the former Soviet Bloc country Georgia), “nonpasts” refer to a rich ambiguity of states, tenses and forms. While some architecture appears in a state of natural decomposition and abandonment of use, others suggest decaying incompletion or human-directed disassembly. In these temporal gray areas the dialectics of interior-exterior, complete-incomplete, new-old, value-valueless, and use-neglect dissolve and blur.

Reconsidering painting displayed as a discrete object at eye level, Lindquist has hung arrangements of clusters that suggest a presence of a grid and call attention to the paintings' edges and the spaces around them. The paintings become modules with which to play—slotting them together, pulling them apart. One might imagine them as hovering fragments of an incomplete modular system. Examining the role of photography as a source material, Lindquist explores the photograph as the obsessive segmenting of the world and the viewfinder as another kind of grid. In painting these views, distilled and reduced into their essential forms, he calls to mind the nature of memory as imperfect recollections of the mind.

The exhibition “Nonpasts” also marks Lindquist's exploration into sculpture. Creating over a dozen concrete boxes and indexical casts of its footprint, these sculptures call to mind funerary monuments, architectural columns, pedestals or coffins. In their serial forms and material sameness, Lindquist alludes to the minimalism of Donald Judd, Sol LeWitt and Carl Andre, yet in their rough-hewn materials and character he acknowledges incompleteness and disorder.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[In this newest installation, Twomey, known for conceptual fearlessness, bridges the gap between heaven and earth. Audio, film, and photographs enacting earthly endeavors float among the intangible fluffy stuff of dreams.

Twomey organizes this intimate gallery space into three discreet areas. A composition of about15 photographs of various sizes and shapes are grouped on the three walls of the entry room. The subject of the images express a variety of effort, and range from an abstract picture of skin touching skin, an old hand dialing a phone, to the corn-rowing of a young girls hair. These
subjects float against a dreamy grey backdrop depicting an instant of earthly reality.

The sounds from the next area draw the viewer into the main exhibition space, which is entirely lined and filled with fluffy, cloud-like material shimmering in the light. In and around the fluffy stuff, small DVD’s seem to float. They play video loops in which orchestrated sound and the subjects seen previously, are enacting and re-enacting their earthly actions with eerie resolve.
Exiting this space through an open door leading to the outdoor patio, one sees the culmination of the exhibition which provides the epiphany of this show. The essence of cloud nature seems to mix with that of the actual sky while a hypnotic and exotic DVD ties the conceptual threads together...]]></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[ISE Cultural Foundation presents the exhibition &quot;Takashi Usui Recent works: Creature in the pink world” by the Japanese artist Takashi Usui at the front project space.

&quot;The sexual instinct sways human existence and creates pain and ecstasy. Pain and ecstasy must exist together. It is this co-existence that makes the realization of each possible. Body and mind also live and let live. It is an unchangeable fact that the body is dying while the mind is growing. My work has progressed over time with these kinds of thoughts spinning through my mind.Neon Pink is Heaven, Cheap Sex, Whirling Baby toy, Circus, Drag Queen, The house of Luis Barragan, Coney Island, Southeast Asia, Vibrator, Easter Bunny, The Star Festival, Magic mushroom.... Coarse and Sharp, sore and pleasant for eyes. Neon pink is alway san exciting and special color for me. My work has evolved from Blood red to Neon pink since 2002. Since then, I feel that something is missing if I do not incorporate Neon Pink into my work. This exhibition I am going to show the lives of unnamed creatures that secretly thrive in this Neon Pink world. Please enjoy peeping into their stealthy lives.&quot; - Takashi Usui

  <Description><![CDATA[Zach Feuer Gallery, in conjunction with Stefan Stux Gallery and Salon 94, presents Disembodied Archetypes, a two-person exhibition of new performances and videos by Tamy Ben-Tor and new paintings and photographs taken by Miki Carmi. All of the works in this exhibition are bound by a series of photographs and texts that embody the dialectic of the archetypical and the concrete.
The artists state: “Disembodied archetypes deals with the performance of the poet as a monotonous daily routine of useless acts for the purpose of creating a kind of ‘primitive theater,’ or a ‘one man theater,’ that
endlessly strives to deny death by the intensity of action.
Neither the grotesque proportions of these heads nor the idiotic manner of these performances imitate life.
Rather they aim to imitate the dynamic of thought. The mind’s conception of reality, like a warped mirror in a circus booth, could reflect, as in these works, an irrational, absurd reality and yet a true one in that it is how the mind perceives.
It is through irrationality that the senses grasp truth and it is the role of the artist to make a true image - one which is not literal or descriptive but real. Perhaps the image of the mask best describes the theatre and the painting in that through it the unreal becomes fact and the banal divine.]]></Description>

  <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>

  <Description><![CDATA[CHROMAesthesiae is a flourishing landscape of color, blooming across the ceiling in high contrast-gradated clusters. This installation is an investigation on the spatial and chromatic perception of space. SOFTlab uses modularity as a core modality in order to generate complexity from repetitive form, allowing for rapid expansion or contraction of every piece created. With the motto, &quot;everything changes,&quot; the ability to adapt and grow conceptually underpins their entire body of work. This customizable installation is made of discrete, laser cut paper structures held together with binder clips: everyday objects are repurposed and precisely recombined. Forms evolve and shift color throughout the exhibition.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Eric Ogden chases mythical visions of his childhood in his photography by recreating situations infused with the unruly emotions he associated with the mysteries of everyday objects, such as toys, vacant lots and overgrown houses. Growing up in a working class Flint, Michigan neighborhood, he was ever curious and intrigued not only by his surroundings, but also by the people he encountered. Individuals moved through his young life that he found both terrible and wondrous, like those in the old horror films he indulged in watching. It was the power of suggestion that motivated him. All of those things that as a child you find surreal and are neither able to define, process nor digest, were burned into Ogden’s mind and are translated through his work. As one crosses the threshold to adulthood, these things and places that permeated one’s youth become suffused with nostalgia. Fact increasingly blends with fiction, memories and mysteries turn in on themselves and you question: is the truth what events you can recall? Or is the truth feelings you have about something even if it never happened?

  <Description><![CDATA[Optical Journey carries us through the breathtaking pictures of three artists playing with the infinite possibilities of photography. With this show, PaulaBarr chelsea underlines the power of variation.
 
Kristina Cahn holds a BFA in Photography from the State University of New York.  Art and travel have always been Cahn's strong passions. Through her lense, she captures everything from street riots in Croatia, the beaches of Normandy and the mountain peaks of Oregon.  She currently lives in New York City. She is an artist drawn towards a minimalist approach in her photography. Color and composition are also a key factor in expressing her vision in a more powerful way. Travel affords her the opportunity to capture images of inspiring countries and places.
 
Jack Dzamba brings an international sophistication to photography and design, having traveled and taken pictures in Europe, Russia, China, Canada, South America, and the United States. His work has won numerous awards in juried and international competitions, including in the 2007 Prix de la Photographie Paris, competition. Jack's image Remembrance, taken at the Louvre in Paris, was chosen in a National Juried Competition in 2003.  His work is published in two other books of photography, Like Sand from Orchid's Lips (2006) TCB- Caf� Publishing, San Francisco, and Incredible Eyes (2004) TCB - Caf� Publishing, San Francisco (2004). He has exhibited in group and solo shows in New York, Boston, and San Francisco. His work has been described as having a mystical quality, which draws you in as if the camera was never there. He has exhibited his &quot;Paris in New York, Boston and Paris&quot; series in solo shows at PaulaBarr chelsea. 

Carlos Vanegas was born in La Guajira, Colombia. His work in journalism and photography has been published in different magazines. In this show, he will present &quot;NYC:3N1&quot;, the latest photographic work of a multifaceted artist. It allows us to can take a glimpse through his eyes, the eyes of an immigrant. This work is a reflection of Vanegas' artistic evolution and peculiar way to perceive and explore the landmarks significant for him as immigrant.  &quot;My search as an artist is intertwined with my daily life.  My everyday occurs between the emblematic bridges of the New York, from there I develop my vision and my personal story&quot;, he says. 
 
Lauren Volo grew up in Connecticut. For the last six years, she has been working and living in the East Village of New York mentoring other photographers, and absorbing the industry. Recently she has been working on a few independent projects. Being behind a camera comes more naturally than a conversation.  From a dance, drawing, painting background, she had been drawn to the romantic and graceful side of art, and finds herself captivated by the people that surround her and places she travels.]]></Description>
