  <Description><![CDATA[Josh Azzarella manipulates images from cinema, journalism and amateur photography. His photographs muddy the waters between the artificial beauty of a cinematic set and the inherent beauty of the natural landscape. Absent their most significant events, Azzarella’s images raise questions about how our society constructs a narrative of our collective history. The emptying of the photographs presents each scene in its formal beauty but leaves a ghost of its narrative past. The viewer is tempted to draw relational lines between individual photographs and to decipher patterns and groupings, taking cues from color and film grain. Movie stills, homemade images and documentary footage mix together, as in our collective memory. How individual and collective memories form, the possibilities of confusing memories with realities or creating memories where none previously existed are all key to his oeuvre. In one photograph vines drape across branches, hearkening documentary photographs of the Vietnam War although its true source is the B movie classic &quot;Creature from the Black Lagoon.&quot; Emptied seascapes recall the stillness of Hiroshi Sugimoto photographs. The backs of two men on an Elvis Presley film set evoke 1960s family photographs, perhaps of a picnic.

  <Description><![CDATA[+Kris Graves Projects announces the upcoming solo exhibition of photographer Greg Miller’s series Nashville. Curated by Kris Graves.

Greg Miller returned to Nashville, Tennessee in 2008 after receiving the John Simon Guggenheim Fellowship in order to re-examine his hometown. Nashville looks at spaces and locations relevant to Miller’s childhood, from his grandmother’s home to the different neighborhoods where he lived. Miller attempts to reconstruct his past, searching for the city he once knew, amidst that which has inevitably changed. Casting strangers as characters from faded memories allows him to rediscover his past while moving forward to new narratives. 

Greg Miller has worked as a professional photographer in New York for over twenty years. He received his BFA in Photography from the School of Visual Arts in 1990. Miller’s work has been exhibited in the Cheekwood Museum, Yossi Milo Gallery, Danziger Projects and David Salow Gallery. He currently resides in Connecticut. ]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Smack Mellon presents a five-channel video installation by Pawel Wojtasik and a series of pencil and tape drawings by Marietta Hoferer.
 
Wojtasik’s visually powerful videos typically take on weighty and controversial subjects—processing waste, domesticating marine life, and performing autopsies—without claiming moral authority. Instead, the artist employs rigorous formal techniques to create captivating metaphors for our complex and contradictory age.  At the Still Point documents the activity of a ship-breaking yard in India, where huge vessels are dismantled and reprocessed for new use, interspersed with footage of cremation rites on the banks of the Ganges and images of Dhobi Ghat, an archaic laundry facility on the outskirts of Mumbai. This dramatic installation juxtaposes the consumption, destruction and renewal that accompany the rapid transition from earlier social forms into modern capitalism. The piece deals with the cyclical nature of phenomena, social and otherwise, as manifested in the spirituality of ancient religious rituals. The installation is united by an all-encompassing soundscape by the electronic musician and sound artist Stephen Vitiello.

Marietta Hoferer’s luminous pencil and tape drawings also employ rigorous formal technique but with an entirely different outcome.  Hoferer begins her process by laying out a grid in pencil on paper, and then adds layers of tape that shift in tonality over time. The results are shimmering geometric patterns that appear defined by logic and process but actually reflect the organic movements of the artist’s hand, with references as disparate as Agnes Martin’s Minimalist paintings and North African textiles. Subtle in their muted colors, Hoferer’s drawings alter according to changes in light and the placement of the viewer. In Coptic Time, a title borrowed from Morton Feldman, the artist continues to refine her unique process, creating seven schematic textured drawings that animate the gallery.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[A dynamic complement to the Gallery’s Fall 2009 exhibition of Halley’s more subdued works from the 1980s, this new group of works underscores the development of Halley’s disciplined approach to painting.  Recurring symbolic forms of abstract geometry are 
continually re-composed and re-contextualized to conjure, through relationship of color, texture, and proportion, references as diverse as technology, systemization, music, popular culture and art history. For each of the eight works in the exhibition, Halley configures one horizontal Prison positioned above another slightly larger Prison that rests on a ground traversed by a single Conduit.  Rising and bending at right angles are Conduits that bypass, segregate, or connect the two Prisons.  Conduits flush with the canvas edge and intricate color interplay– from closely-hued shades of red in one painting to varied DayGlo pastels in another– complicate the distinction between foreground and background.

  <Description><![CDATA[Higher Pictures presents the first United States solo exhibition by Japanese photographer Issei Suda. This exhibition consists of over twenty vintage photographs that date from 1971 through the 1980s primarily from Suda's best-known monograph &quot;Fûshi Kaden&quot; (1978) and includes works from &quot;Tokyo 100,&quot; &quot;Human Memory&quot; and &quot;Minyou Sanga.&quot; Suda's complex portraits and street scenes reveal his intense interest in the mysterious side of everyday life and otherworldliness. His first notable book and exhibition &quot;Fûshi Kaden&quot; “transmission of the flower of acting style” is a series based on the fifteenth-century treatise by Zeami on the principles of No theatre. Suda, a devout student of Zeami, translates the treatise in photographs that return to an emotional landscape that predates the rise of cities produced on his trips to remote locations in Japan from 1971–1978. Often Suda’s photographs are suspended in time, either one moment too soon or too late, allowing for an unsettling effect on the viewer. Suda’s fascination continues in photographic scenes remembered from days past and preserved regardless of time. His diverse series include people who dressed up for village festivals, dreamlike landscapes and studies of pattern, texture and beauty.

  <Description><![CDATA[Danish-Icelandic artist Olafur Eliasson's sixth solo show at the gallery continues his exploration of and experimentation with modes of perception and the experience of space and time. Focusing on movement, color, and light - and the interplay between the three phenomena - the exhibition involves the viewer in a collaborative creative process. Throughout his career, Eliasson has challenged the notion of the artwork as a static object, instead suggesting that the meaning and generative potential of each work lies in the exchange between the piece and the viewer. It is the visitor's experience, his or her subjective perception and mediation of the work that activates it; in turn Eliasson's installations, public projects, photographs and paintings prompt a new awareness in the visitor of his or her own methods of interpreting the world.

Within the main gallery space, an abstract structure outlines a living space, intimate and domestic in scale. The walls of Multiple shadow house (2010) are comprised of a simple wooden framework supporting large expanses of projection screens. Groups of projection lamps cast steady light upon the screens, yet their effects remain unarticulated until visitors interact with the structure. Upon entering, the visitors block the individual sources of light and cast variously colored shadows that change according to their movements. The work is a situation experienced as it is created. The user negotiates and constructs his or her own surroundings, and the architecture is animated by the visitor.

The perception of visual imagery in the form of color and light is also addressed in Abstract afterimage star (2008), installed in the side gallery space upstairs. Six spotlights are synced to project geometrical forms in blue, yellow, magenta, green, and turquoise onto the wall, intersecting and layering, and building towards a narrative of Constructivist abstraction. As the intense projections fade in and out, complimentary afterimages stay on the visitor's retina and appear to multiply the color compositions. As a result, the film is only partially produced by the spotlights' projection; the rest is contributed by the viewer.

In the main gallery upstairs, Eliasson exhibits a series of watercolor drawings on paper. Configured in sequences, they use ellipses and circles as narrative exercises on the perception of space and movement. While shades and hues play an important part in these watercolors, the oil painting Colour experiment no. 3 (2009) is part of ongoing research into color conducted at Studio Olafur Eliasson. The studio has been developing a set of handmade oil paints that range through the full spectrum of visible light, experimenting with their physical properties and interactions. Circular in form, the painting expands on the traditional model of a color wheel, wherein each of 360 degrees is painted in one color and corresponds to its complementary afterimage located directly across from itself.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[5:46 am, January 17, 1995. An earthquake with a magnitude of 7.2 originating from a point twenty kilometers below Awajishima Island in southern Hyogo Prefecture struck the city of Kobe and its vicinity. It shook the earth for a mere 15 seconds, enough to kill 5,000 people and destroy more than 100,000 homes and other structures. In the aftermath of the quake, the city caught fire, laying waste to an area of 1,043,000 square meters. Ryuji Miyamoto's photographs show Kobe as it was just after the earthquake.  Both in their overall aspect and in their finer details they give some idea of the magnitude of the force that assailed Kobe's buildings and of the way that whole districts were destroyed.  Frozen between their previous state of inactness and their soon to be complete demolition, Miyamoto gives us a look at the fallibility of the built form.

  <Description><![CDATA[Josée Bienvenu Gallery presents an exhibition featuring a video installation, new sculptures, and photographs by Yuken Teruya, continuing the artist's poetic investigation of national identity and the fluid boundaries between cultures and objects.

The 5 channel video installation Earn A Lot of Money; No Need Send Any Letter; Send Money Home First, is a maze of overturned cardboard moving boxes, some containing video projections, some housing projectors and speakers. As one navigates this Hooverville, the videos document the journey of small paper boats, fitted with Japanese, Puerto Rican, Mexican, and American flags, as they travel along the gutter of a street in Brooklyn’s low-rent melting pot of Bushwick. The title of the piece references a common early 20th century colloquial farewell at the Okinawa docks as ships carried family members away to South America in search of a better life.   One box shows a team of firemen opening a fire hydrant to flood the street, a neighborhood substitute for air-conditioning.  Another shows a kid picking one of the paper boats out of the water.  Others follow the boats as they navigate the current, swerving around litter and bumping into each other as they make their way towards their inevitable decent into the gaping sewer below.  Interspersed with the cinéma vérité of the street scene, Teruya has added slow pans of ocean views seemingly taken on a trans-pacific journey, (possibly the artist’s own?) from Japan to America.  At the very moment the narrative could become quite literal, it is picked up and washed off in a new direction.   

In Dawn, The artist looks for the ultimate places in a man made environment where a chrysalis, originally from his home island of Okinawa, could find a safe setting for the most crucial period in its cycle, the one preceding the birth of a butterfly. One of the spots is the sole of a luxury high heel shoe, which looses its function to become an architectural safe heaven for the vulnerable creature. A set of eight photographs documents the various stages of the transmutation process from the golden vessel hanging underneath the shoe, to the striped butterfly emerging upside down. In a group of sculptures, the same filigreed chrysalises hang delicately off the upturned barrel of a pistol, or underneath the blades of kitchen knifes planted into the wall, the possibility of death lying dormant, just like the unborn insect cocooned underneath the objects.

  <Description><![CDATA[In this exhibition, acclaimed artist Kiki Smith presents a unique, site-specific installation exploring ideas of creative inspiration and the cycle of life in relation to women artists. Kiki Smith: Sojourn draws on a variety of universal experiences, from the milestones of birth and death to quotidian experiences such as the daily chores of domestic life. An important eighteenth-century silk needlework by a young woman named Prudence Punderson, The First, Second and Last Scene of Mortality (Collection of the Connecticut Historical Society), which provided original inspiration for Smith’s installation, is included in the exhibition. Punderson’s stark depiction of a woman’s journey from childhood to death in the years leading up to and immediately after the United States gained its independence intrigued Smith because rather than following the stereotypical rites of passage in a woman’s life of the period—marriage, family, and domestic life—this young woman chose to depict a life of the mind for her subject, presenting a woman engaged in creative work. 

In Sojourn, Smith, who is known for a psychologically acute, non-narrative approach to constructing installations, begins from the position of the adult female artist and cycles through a series of experiences and artistic genres that venture far beyond the autobiographical. Religion, mythology, and spirituality surface repeatedly throughout Smith’s work, and in this installation, the Annunciation is used as a metaphor for identifying the unknown and unexpected sources female artists draw upon for inspiration. Sojourn presents a variety of work by the artist in a range of media, including unique sculpture, cast objects, collage, drawing, and photography. To extend the conceptual relationships she will develop in the Sackler Center galleries, Smith will also incorporate two eighteenth-century period rooms in the Museum’s nearby Decorative Arts galleries into her project.

  <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[“Skin Fruit” will be the first exhibition in the United States of the Athens-based Dakis Joannou Collection, renowned as one of the leading collections of contemporary art in the world. This will also be the first exhibition curated by Koons, whose early work inspired the evolution of the Joannou collection.

“Skin Fruit” will include over 100 works by 50 international artists spanning several generations. Focusing on the body in contemporary art, the exhibition will spotlight the age-old preoccupation with the human form as a vessel of and vehicle for experience. Koons’s title “Skin Fruit” alludes to notions of genesis, evolution, original sin, and sexuality. Skin and fruit evoke the essential tensions between interior and exterior, between what we see and what we consume.

Starting with the first, now-legendary exhibitions, such as “Artificial Nature” and “Post Human,” at his DESTE Foundation’s non-profit museum in Athens, Dakis Joannou has focused on works that present a new image of man. It is no coincidence that his collection developed in the cultural context of Greece, where Classical sculpture defined the Western canon of anatomical representation. Artists have arrived at a much more uncertain image of mankind in this new century, in which bodies are still idealized but also are assaulted by forces of our own making. Joannou’s collection is comprised of more than 1,500 works by 400 contemporary artists, from the most eminent to those just emerging. For “Skin Fruit,” Koons has selected sculptures, works on paper, paintings, installations, and videos by a group of artists including David Altmejd, Janine Antoni, Matthew Barney, Nathalie Djurberg, Robert Gober, Mike Kelley, Terence Koh, Mark Manders, Paul McCarthy, Tim Noble and Sue Webster, Kiki Smith, Christiana Soulou, Jannis Varelas, Kara Walker, and Andro Wekua, among others.

The show will also premiere new works such as Charles Ray’s re-envisioned Revolution Counter-Revolution (1990/2010); a new public installation of Jenny Holzer’s Selections from the Survival Series (1984); and a special 3-D book project by Italian artist Robert Cuoghi, and will include living sculptures by Pawel Althamer and Tino Sehgal. “Skin Fruit” will feature only one work by Koons—his One Ball Total Equilibrium Tank (1985)—the first major artwork that Dakis Joannou acquired, initiating the collection that would grow to be one of the world’s finest. Within the context of the exhibition this influential object, with its both familiar and mysterious orb suspended in fluid, becomes a womb, a point of origin and of departure. The installation for “Skin Fruit” has been conceived by Koons as a kind of panorama, with frequent shifts in scale and unconventional juxtapositions. Role-playing games and dramas occur: a man will stage a religious ritual; a sculpture literally sings out; white chocolate monuments tower above visitor’s heads; voracious creatures eat themselves and each other while bodies are buried or frozen; icons and deities are adored or dethroned.

The Imaginary Museum

With the exhibition “Skin Fruit,” the New Museum launches The Imaginary Museum, a new exhibition series that will periodically showcase leading private collections of contemporary art from around the world, providing the opportunity for rarely seen, great works of art to be accessible to a broader public.

Koons as Curator

The Museum invited Jeff Koons to curate the first in this series. Koons had his first museum exhibition at the New Museum in 1981. In addition to being one of the most accomplished artists of our time, Koons is a committed and highly informed art lover and collector whose interests span from Greek and Roman sculpture to contemporary art. Koons has said that he collects art “to have a world besides my world, to have another field of experience.” It is the combined perspective of artist, collector, and connoisseur that he brings to the task as curator of the New Museum exhibition. Jeff Koons and Dakis Joannou have enjoyed a close friendship and artistic dialogue for nearly three decades. Joannou has been a great supporter of Koons’s work from the beginning of his career, and a large concentration of Koons’s work from all periods is at the core of the Joannou collection. Koons’s role as curator reflects the ideals at the forefront of Joannou’s collection: ongoing conversations and collaborations with artists. In addition, it also signals the New Museum’s continued experimentation with adventurous curatorial formats. With this exhibition, the Museum seeks to further dialogues about alternative collaborations and the history of artist-curated exhibitions.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Isaac Pelepko is a Russian-born artist trained at the New York Academy of Art. He exhibits grotesque paintings and drawings satirizing both romance and Romanticism. Like John Currin, Pelepko uses careful classical rendering to induce quease and revulsion from visual stimulation. His courtship series is a perverse narrative of man, woman, and horse. This new series features Euclidean spaces overpopulated with anatomically exaggerated figures performing absurd dramas.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[The Bruce High Quality Foundation announces the opening of The BRUCENNIAL 2010: Miseducation on February 25th at 6pm. 

Since its founding, the BRUCENNIAL has evolved into The Bruce High Quality Foundation's signature public program, as well as the most important survey of contemporary art in the world ever. Following the triumphant successes of BRUCENNIAL08: Doing it Again (Bushwick) and BRUCENNIAL09: Smithumenta (Carol Gardens), BRUCENNIAL2010: Miseducation brings together 420 artists from 911 countries working in 666 discrete disciplines to reclaim education as part of an artist's ongoing practice beyond the principals of any one institution or experience.

I think the Brucennial is like—in the life of the people—it’s like an anniversary in the life of people. The people, they need moments to celebrate themselves and that’s what a Brucennial is. The Brucennial happens every two years, or really, you know, whenever we feel like it, and it’s a moment of celebration of the history of the people—of the reason why the people exist, of the nature of the people. Again, it’s like a person. If not there would be a flux of time without an interruption and I think that as people, people are live entities and they need to have some moments where they recognize this liveliness of their existence.

  <Description><![CDATA[This large-scale exhibition surveys nearly three decades of work by William Kentridge (b. 1955, South Africa), a remarkably versatile artist whose work combines the political with the poetic. Dealing with subjects as sobering as apartheid, colonialism, and totalitarianism, his work is often imbued with dreamy, lyrical undertones or comedic bits of self-deprecation that render his powerful messages both alluring and ambivalent. Best known for animated films based on charcoal drawings, he also works in prints, books, collage, sculpture, and the performing arts. This exhibition explores five primary themes in Kentridge’s art from the 1980s to the present, and underscores the interrelatedness of his mediums and disciplines, particularly through a selection of works from the Museum’s collection. Included are works related to the artist’s staging and design of Dmitri Shostakovich’s &quot;The Nose,&quot; which premieres at New York’s Metropolitan Opera in March 2010.

  <Description><![CDATA[&quot;Gloria Hole&quot; is a document of a sexual performance. These photographs describe an imagined space for queer desire to be directed and complicated by bodies, unable to be read. The hole has been created in context to a policed history of queer sexuality, and in this series the illicit and anonymous environment is being transposed upon queer bodies.

  <Description><![CDATA[In the main gallery, Price will show three large-scale sculptures that continue the expansion of his practice into more monumental sizes, which he began working on shortly after his last exhibition at the gallery in 2006, in which he debuted his first large-scale piece. 
Three additional galleries will be installed with nine smaller sculptures. All of the works, large and small, have meticulously hand-finished surfaces, slowly built up over time with as many as twenty layers of paint, which are then sanded to a satin polish. 
The rich colors and painstakingly worked surfaces of Ken Price's sculptures have always been integral to his spectacular and inventive forms. In the newest pieces, the sensual shapes seem more alive then ever as they twist up and around or suggestively slump against one another. ]]></Description>

Laarman's unique aesthetic merges cutting-edge technology and the life-sciences to create work of unexpected beauty. The upcoming exhibition has developed from five years of trial and error, exploratory material research and his continuous quest to translate science into functional objects of beauty, now on a monumental scale.]]></Description>
