  <Description><![CDATA[This exhibition of 77 works from the museum's collection will inaugurate the new Diker Pavilion for Native Arts and Cultures. Beauty Surrounds Us features an elaborate Quechua girl's dance outfit, a Northwest Coast chief's staff with carved animal figures and crest designs, Seminole turtle shell dance leggings, a conch shell trumpet from pre-Columbian Mexico, a Navajo saddle blanket, and an Inupiak (Eskimo) ivory cribbage board. The exhibition includes two interactive media stations, at which visitors may access in-depth descriptions of each object and, through virtual imaging technology, view and rotate a selection of the objects to examine them more closely.

  <Description><![CDATA[Joseph Beuys (1921–1986) is widely understood to be the most important German artist of the post–World War II period. Highly provocative and always controversial, he and his peers reinvented a thriving avant-garde after the long period of Nazi repression. His influence is comparable to that of the American artist Andy Warhol, but whereas Warhol's work features a style and imagery that is readily accessible, Beuys intentionally devised a challenging formal vocabulary, layered with meaning and metaphor. In Beuys's theory of sculpture, the process of transformation is paramount. The changeable nature of fat and felt, his signature materials, mirror this interest. As they are heated and cooled they shift from form to chaos and back again.  The centerpiece of the gallery is a new acquisition: a set of five vitrines accompanied by two wall objects, constituting a mini-museum of works made between 1948 and 1982.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Himalayan art is new terrain for many people. This exhibition is intended to serve as a guide through this exhilarating landscape. It is organized into four sections, and each object on view contributes a partial answer to the question “What is Himalayan art?” The installation will change periodically to refocus the questions and to pose others. The museum as a whole is a journey along many paths through Himalayan art, offering intimate encounters and changing perspectives.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Recent economic chaos has laid bare the tentative framework that supports America’s culture of consumption. The auto industry, the quintessential symbol of the pioneering American spirit, has all but collapsed. The imminent scarcity and desperate search for new sources of oil, the essential nutrient of our economy, has raised the specter of poverty and social conflict on a global scale. Meanwhile, much of the U.S. populace is staying home, ordering in and watching reality TV. These developments lead us to ask where we – as individuals, as a nation and as a species – are going? Are we stuck? How does one get from one place to the next, anyway? And most importantly, perhaps, where exactly do we hope to arrive? These concerns set the stage for this year’s theme at Proteus Gowanus.

Please join us for TRANSPORT, an exploration through art, artifacts, books and events of How We Get There in the never-ending journey toward our destinations. From September through June, our thematic roaming will range from an experimental computationally-driven car network to meditation practices seeking transport through stillness or movement; from a modular sculpture made of transport palettes to subway sketches and space ship documentation.

We open our Transport theme with a demonstration of artist David Mahfouda’s social transportation experiment, WEeels, a project whose continuing development will take place throughout the year at the gallery.  To participate in the project – and get a free ride to the opening, contact www.WEeels.org on the evening of the opening to make arrangements.

Further transportation options will greet you when you arrive at the gallery: Conveyor, a site-specific performance created for our opening night reception, offers our guests a new way of arriving. Paul Benney, one third of the performance collective TRYST, borrows from the group’s signature piece, “Assisted Street Crossing”, to transport you down the alley into the gallery.We encourage you to procure your own transport during the coming year to view our revolving exhibit and ongoing events.

Our 2009/10 TRANSPORT co-curator is David Mahfouda.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[It is commonly assumed that contemporary self-taught artists work solely in a representational style, eager to engage in storytelling and personal memory. But while the narrative tradition often is a primary impulse, a significant number exhibit a tendency to be seduced by material, technique, color, form, line, and texture, creating artwork that omits or obscures representation. &quot;Approaching Abstraction&quot; highlights the work of more than forty of these artists and includes European art brut masters, such as Aloise Corbaz, Rafael Lonne, and Adolf Wolfli; self-taught artists from the American South, such as Thornton Dial Sr., Bessie Harvey, J.B. Murry, and Purvis Young; and lesser-known artists, such as Johnny Culver, Hiroyuki Doi, and Melvin Way. This first exploration into nonobjective expression within this field is selected entirely from the museum's permanent collection.

  <Description><![CDATA[September 2009 marks 400 years since Henry Hudson sailed into New York Harbor and up the Hudson River, almost to what is now Albany, performing detailed reconnaissance of the Hudson Valley region. Other explorers passed by the outwardly hidden harbor, but did not linger long enough to fully realize the commercial, nautical, strategic, or colonial value of the region. Once the explorers returned to Europe, their strategic information was passed on to authorities. Some data was kept secret, but much was handed over to map makers, engraved on copper, printed on handmade paper, distributed to individuals and coffee-houses (the news centers of the day), and pored over by dreamers, investors, and potential settlers in the “new land.” &quot;Mapping New York's Shoreline&quot; celebrates the Dutch accomplishments in the New York City region, especially along the waterways forming its urban watershed, from the Connecticut River and Long Island Sound to the North (or Hudson) River and the South (or Delaware) River. Inspired by The New York Public Library's collection of Dutch, English, and early American mapping of the Atlantic Coastal regions, this exhibition exemplifies the best early and growing knowledge of the unknown shores along our neighboring rivers, bays, sounds, and harbors. From the earliest mapping reflecting Verazzano's brief visit to gloriously decorative Dutch charting of the Atlantic and New Netherland, illustrating their knowledge of the trading opportunity Hudson's exploration revealed, the antiquarian maps tell the story from a centuries-old perspective. We are brought up to date with maps and text exploring growing environmental concern for this harbor, and the river that continuously enriches it. From paper maps to vapor maps, those created with computer technology, the story of New York Harbor in its 400th year is told.

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

Ramon Hulspas and Erik Vermeulen are two young artists living and working in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. Hulspas and Vermeulen first met in the mid ’90s through the Eindhoven skateboard scene. They formed the collective Æ in 2002 after a popular underground venue was torn down, discovering the creative possibilities of squatting. Each artist also has an independent practice and participated in a temporary project occupying the Van Abbemuseum together with artists Erwin van Doorn, Sarge Vermeulen, and Aaron van Erp with the goal of interacting and sharing conversations with its public.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[This performance retrospective traces the prolific career of Marina Abramović (Yugoslavian, b. 1946) with approximately fifty works spanning over three decades of her early interventions and sound pieces, video works, installations, photographs, solo performances, and collaborative performances made with Ulay (Uwe Laysiepen). In an endeavor to transmit the presence of the artist and make her historical performances accessible to a larger audience, the exhibition includes the first live re-performances of Abramović’s works by other people ever to be undertaken in a museum setting. In addition, a new, original work performed by Abramović will mark the longest duration of time that she has performed a single solo piece. All performances, one of which involves viewer participation, will take place throughout the entire duration of the exhibition, starting before the Museum opens each day and continuing until after it closes, to allow visitors to experience the timelessness of the works. A chronological installation of Abramović’s work will be included in The Joan and Preston Robert Tisch Gallery on the sixth floor of the Museum, revealing different modes of representing, documenting, and exhibiting her ephemeral, time-based, and media-based works.

  <Description><![CDATA[Commemorating the 250th anniversary of Candide, this dynamic exhibition explores the legacy of Voltaire’s famous satire as a history of public reading, reflecting the many diverse ways in which a public consumes a book and transforms it. Featuring all 17 of the known 1759 editions of Candide, the exhibition also showcases works influenced or inspired by Candide; illustrated editions of the book; materials relating to the 1956 Broadway musical adaptation of Candide; and contemporary translations and adaptations of the book into modern dance, film, and graphic novel.

  <Description><![CDATA[Ruth Gilmore Langs approaches painting with an inner passion that becomes evident when one allows oneself to venture beyond the surface of the canvas.  Once inside the painting, you are swept away by the magic of abstract expressionism in the hands of a truly gifted painter, a lover of nature, and a soul mate of other gifted painters such as; Diebenkorn, Hofman and Joan Mitchell.  The journey through her work will enable you to experience the rhythm that is so essential to fully grasp her strength and vision as well as her passion.  Ruth’s intuitive sense of color and composition is her natural state of being, it is her mind set, as is her ability to capture the landscape with the freedom of a child rolling down the hillside only to change direction by dashing up again to meet a clear blue sky.  Here is where you find the magic, in the realization that when you truly allow the work to capture your imagination, you allow yourself the vulnerability of a child and dare to dance among the lush colors of innocence and thus surrender to the transformative nature of ‘Paint’.

  <Description><![CDATA[A director of fables, fairy tales, and fantasies, with an aesthetic that incorporates the Gothic, the Grand Guignol, and German Expressionism, Tim Burton has created a body of films—fourteen features released over two and a half decades thus far—that reveal an uncompromised auteurist vision. Burton’s striking visuals and indelible characters make even his blockbuster studio films intimately personal. From adaptations to musicals to stop-motion animated films, his work bears a distinctive, unmistakable point-of-view, and his unique interpretations of well-known comic and literary characters, real-life personalities, and beloved childhood icons have resulted in creations that sometimes surpass their sources. Along with his frequent collaborators—including actors Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter, composer Danny Elfman, production designer Rick Heinrichs, and costume designer Colleen Atwood—Burton has crafted a new canon of beloved characters, from Edward Scissorhands and Beetlejuice to Jack Skellington and the Corpse Bride.

For her latest installation at P.S.1, she channels the glam rock and kitsch aesthetics of the 1975 film The Rocky Horror Picture Show while drawing inspiration from Alan Moore's graphic novel Watchmen, focusing on the character The Silhouette who is murdered for coming out as a lesbian.

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

  <Description><![CDATA[The FLAG Art Foundation presents &quot;Size DOES Matter&quot;, curated by basketball legend Shaquille O'Neal. This exhibition includes works from international artists exploring the myriad ways that scale affects the perception of contemporary art.

Weighing 320 pounds and standing 7'1&quot; atop his size 22 shoes, Shaq is one of the most dominant players ever to play in the NBA.  Throughout his career, O'Neal has capitalized on his size and strength to overpower opponents for points and rebounds earning him nicknames such as Diesel and Superman.  Now Shaq takes the opportunity to reflect on his size with an exhibition boasting works from microscopic to giant pieces that have the ability to dwarf and exaggerate everyone -- even Shaq himself.

The exhibition will include works in a variety of media that employ scale as a key component of their composition. Every work in the show was selected by Shaq himself or is being newly made at his request.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[This exhibition examines how performances attempted to break boundaries set by the communist state's politicians and censors, focusing on theater, music, and dance events that contested the prevailing totalitarian regime and anticipated the forthcoming political and social changes. As the revolutions in most Soviet bloc countries were not the result of a violent overthrow of power, art was one the main arenas where &quot;the revolutionary&quot; started to happen. Curated by Karen Burke, Assistant Chief, Music Division, The New York Public Library for the Performing Arts and Aniko Szucs, Ph.D. Candidate in Performance Studies at New York University. The Romanian presence in the exhibition has been conceived and supported by the Romanian Cultural Institute in New York.

  <Description><![CDATA[Photographs are often perceived as transparent windows onto a three-dimensional world. Yet photographs also have their own material presence as physical objects. Contemporary artists who exploit this apparent contradiction between photograph as window and photograph as object are featured in Surface Tension. The exhibition presents 30 works that play with the inherent tension between the flatness of the photograph and the often lifelike illusion of depth. Surface Tension highlights the ways in which artists use photographic and multi-media techniques to direct our attention to the physical surface of the photograph. Among the works featured are photographs that have been purposely scratched, burned, or painted on, as well as photograms made by placing objects directly on top of a sheet of photographic paper. The exhibition is drawn entirely from the permanent collection and features several recent acquisitions and other contemporary photographs never before shown at the Museum. ]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Inspired by a trip the artist took to India, Joan Jonas’s Mirage (1976/2005) was originally conceived as a 1976 performance for the screening room of New York’s Anthology Film Archives. In it, Jonas carried out a series of movements, such as running as a form of percussion and as gestural drawing, while interacting with a variety of sculptural components and video projections. In 1994, the artist repurposed these elements—metal cones suggesting the form of volcanoes, videos of erupting volcanoes, wooden hoops, a mask, photographs, and chalkboards, among other items—as a discrete installation, which was itself reconfigured in 2005. At MoMA, the artist once again reimagines the work in an installation that combines elements of ritual, memory, repetition, and rehearsal with games, drawn actions, and syncopated rhythms.

  <Description><![CDATA[The first major exhibition of Viola Frey's work since her death in 2004 will feature Frey's colossal clay figures, sculptures, ceramic plates as well as a selection of her paintings and works on paper. Frey emerged in the complex and often contradictory art world of the 1950's, where painting, craft (specifically ceramics), and design often merged and diverged in dynamic ways. Coming from abstract expressionist traditions in the 1950s, she became involved in ceramics as her contemporaries Peter Voulkos and Robert Arneson were taking this medium to new sculptural and expressive horizons. Frey found her unique style and visual vocabulary in her life-long fascination with mass-produced ceramics figurines which she collected in flea markets combining molded and actual versions of these elements in what are known as her &quot;bricolage&quot; sculptures. Frey recounted her own life, as well as late-twentieth century culture, through her art. She is a forerunner in self-revelation by creating sculptures and vignettes based on her own personal relationships, recollections and the people she knew. &quot;Frey is best known for her brilliantly colored, literally larger-than-life ceramic figures of domineering men and over-wrought women,&quot; notes Sims. &quot;Not only does Frey reveal her early involvement in painting in the dynamic color glazes of the surfaces of these ceramic sculptures, but she also proves to be a perceptive observer of gender and power issues as they specifically played out in mid-twentieth century America.&quot;

  <Description><![CDATA[This major career retrospective on Tim Burton consisting of a gallery exhibition and a film series, considers Burton's career as a director, producer, writer, and concept artist for live-action and animated films, along with his work as a fiction writer, photographer and illustrator. Following the current of his visual imagination from his earliest childhood drawing through his mature work, the exhibition presents artwork generated during the conception and production of his films, and highlights a number of unrealized projects and never-before-seen pieces, as well as student art, his earliest non-professional films, and examples of his work as a storyteller and graphic artist for non-film projects. The opposing themes of adolescence and adulthood, and the elements of sentiment, cynicism, and humor inform his work in a variety of mediums—drawings, paintings, storyboards, digital and moving-image formats, puppets and maquettes, props, costumes, ephemera, sketchbooks, and cartoons. Taking inspiration from sources in pop culture, Burton has reinvented Hollywood genre filmmaking as a spiritual experience, influencing a generation of young artists working in film, video, and graphics.

  <Description><![CDATA[The notion of  &quot;setting&quot; is a theme that is an integral part of the folk art of America. There is a long tradition of depicting places—from domestic interiors and sites of work and leisure to country landscapes, city scenes, biblical or spiritual settings, and dreamscapes—that reflects many different spaces and communities. The selection of artworks, presented on the fifth floor, highlights the theme of place. Organized by the Education Department, this collection-based exhibition reveals the richness and diversity of American folk art. It includes twenty-nine artworks that offer snapshots of American life in different time periods by artists as varied as Winthrop Chandler, Henry Darger, Ralph Fasanella, William Hawkins, Harry Lieberman, Jacob Maentel, and Edgar Tolson.

  <Description><![CDATA[The Museum of Modern Art presents an installation that will, for the first time since the Museum's reopening in 2004, feature the full group of Claude Monet's late paintings in the collection. These include a mural-sized triptych &quot;Water Lilies, 1914–26&quot; and a single-panel painting of the water lilies in the Japanese-style pond that Monet cultivated on his property in Giverny, France &quot;Water Lilies, 1914–26,&quot; as well as &quot;The Japanese Footbridge&quot; (c. 1920–22) and &quot;Agapanthus&quot; (1914–26), depicting the majestic plants in the pond's vicinity. These paintings have long held a special status with the Museum's audiences and, much like MoMA's Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Sculpture Garden, they provide a modern oasis in the center of midtown Manhattan. These works will be complemented by two loans of closely related paintings.

  <Description><![CDATA[Henry Darger (1892-1973) adopted countless images from popular media sources such as newspapers, magazines, comics, and cartoons, but no single source influenced him as continuously as the coloring book.  This focused exhibition will feature nine items from the museum's extensive Henry Darger Study Archive, illustrating the primary role the coloring book played for this seminal twentieth-century artist.

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

  <Description><![CDATA[&quot;Slash&quot; explores the international phenomenon of cut paper in contemporary art- showcasing the work of artists who reach beyond the traditional role of paper as a neutral surface to consider its potential as a medium for provocative, expressive, and visually striking sculpture, installation, and video animation. &quot;Slash&quot; features work by approximately 50 contemporary artists from sixteen countries, and will also feature 12 new site-specific commissions and installations. Visitors will be able to watch the creative process during the first week of the exhibition, as select artists create new commissions in MAD's open studios and assemble and install their work in the galleries.

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

  <Description><![CDATA[The second porcelain factory in Europe able to make true porcelain in the manner of the Chinese was established in Vienna in 1718. Founded by Claudius Innocentius Du Paquier, the small porcelain enterprise developed a highly distinctive style that remained Baroque in inspiration throughout the history of the factory, which was taken over by the State in 1744. Du Paquier produced a range of tablewares, decorative vases, and small-scale sculpture that found great popularity with the Hapsburg court and the Austrian nobility. This exhibition will chart the history of the development of the Du Paquier factory, setting its production within the historic and cultural context of Vienna in the first half of the eighteenth-century. The porcelain to be featured will be drawn from both the Metropolitan Museum and the premier private collection of this material.

  <Description><![CDATA[Body Parts features thirty-five objects that represent individual body parts in ancient Egyptian art from the Brooklyn Museum’s collection, many of which will be displayed for the first time. While traditional exhibitions of ancient art focus on reconstructing damaged works, this exhibition uses fragmentary objects to illuminate the very realistic depiction of individual body parts in canonical Egyptian sculpture. The ancient Egyptians carefully depicted each part of the human body, respecting the significance of every detail. When viewed individually these sculptures and fragments reveal ancient notions of the body, as well as details of workmanship, frequently unnoticed in more complete sculptures.

This exhibition is organized by Yekaterina Barbash, Assistant Curator of Egyptian Art, Brooklyn Museum.

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

Featuring a large marble relief and twenty carved stones, the installation, conceived in response to the story of our origins in the Book of Genesis, invites contemplation and dialogue on the interaction between ancient life and contemporary society.

  <Description><![CDATA[In order to provide the context for understanding the problems and issues that the teams were required to address during the workshop phase of &quot;Rising Currents,&quot; the exhibition will begin with a background presentation of the Latrobe Team’s project, including its final master plan and schematic proposals, a detailed atlas of the New York and New Jersey Upper Bay, historical images, and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) generated maps examining the current layers of density, transportation networks, topographic and bathymetric data, 100- and 500-year flood zones, and Category 1, 2, 3, and 4 hurricane storm surge zones, as well as projected flooding based on incremental sea level rise. At the center of the exhibition will be the physical and digital models and drawings produced by the four teams, whose members will also be involved in designing the exhibition with members of MoMA’s Department of Exhibition Design and Production.  The exhibition, therefore, not only will present innovative work for design interventions in the New York/New Jersey harbor and estuaries, but also will contribute a new model of exhibition with public participation in every level from the workshop through to the final exposition. Included in the exhibition will be designs for soft infrastructure solutions for a site that encompasses Lower Manhattan, by Adam Yarinsky, Principal at Architecture Research Office (ARO), who worked on the Palisade Bay research study with Guy Nordenson and Catherine Seavitt. &quot;The Rising Currents&quot; exhibition inaugurates a new series of Architecture and Design exhibitions at MoMA called &quot;Issues in Contemporary Architecture,&quot; which will focus on timely topics in contemporary architecture with an emphasis on the urban dimension in order to increase public dialogue around seminal issues in architecture.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Arario New York presents Miao Xiaochun’s Microcosm, an exhibition of more than twenty works in three dimensional animation, multi-panels, digital paintings, drawings, and embroideries.

As one of the most representative artists of China’s new media art, from early realism photograph to 3-dimensional work, Miao Xiaochun has always focused on the humanities, history and reality from a sociological and art historical perspective. The latest series of works employs the most advanced computer technologies, using classical paintings as a foundation of visual structure to create outlandish modern montages of virtual reality.

In views of subjective definitions toward historical images, Miao Xiaochun’s Microcosm is based on Dutch master Bosch’s Garden of Earthly Delight. He reinterprets the traditional Chinese idiom ‘Looking up the Sky from the Well’ to ‘Looking down the Well from the Sky’ (the literal translation of ‘Microcosm’). If the idiom ‘looking up the sky from the Well’ is used to describe a person with limited sight and knowledge struggling to comprehend the essence of life, ‘Looking down the Well from the Sky’ offers an image of a person located in a macro environment open to examining with a micro-lens but also struggling an all expansive understanding.

Microcosm is not created to recover the very truth of historical images, rather it is transformed and deducted with implied meaning within the image system, an effort to deconstruct the internal meaning of history and create psychological medium analysis. It recreates modern images in the tangled relations among reality and virtual world, familiarity and strangeness, intimacy and alienation, ego and non-ego.

C-print photographs, drawings, digital ink and wash painting, embroiders and other works expand the technique of expression and the limitation of materials, taking the 3-dimensional effect as a medium and utilizing the character of one medium to recover, translate, imitate, mix another.

Miao Xiaochun was born in China and studied at Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing where he currently teaches. He also attended the Kunsthochschule in Kassel, Germany. The artists has shown his works at Alexander Ochs Gallery in Berlin, Osage Gallery in Singapore and Walsh Gallery in Chicago. His works have also been exhibited at Le Grand Palais in France, Museu de Arte de Sao Paulo in Brazil, and the Cincinnati Art Museum in Ohio.

  <Description><![CDATA[Robert Miller Gallery presents an important survey of vintage and modern photographs by Baron Adolph de Meyer. This will be the artist’s first solo exhibition worldwide since the International Center of Photography’s 1994 retrospective, A Singular Elegance: The Photographs of Baron Adolph de Meyer. The exhibition will include many images from De Meyer’s tenure as chief photographer at Vogue and Vanity Fair and from his years at Harper’s Bazaar, as well as exceptional, rarely seen, earlier photographs from the artist’s estate.

Baron Adolph de Meyer (1868-1946) is widely recognized as the founder of fashion photography. He began his career in London as an aristocratic amateur, making society portraits and still lifes in the Pictorialist style. His portraits brilliantly echoed the strategies employed by John Singer Sargent, transmuting aspects of his aesthetic into shimmering black and white or tonal images. ]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Stellan Holm Gallery presents an exhibition of new works by painter Martin Mull, entitled The Four Seasons and Other New Works. This will be Martin Mull's second solo exhibition at Stellan Holm Gallery.

In The Four Seasons and Other New Works, Martin Mull's reinterpretation of the theme of the four seasons finds itself transplanted onto the contemporary landscape of Los Angeles, CA. This series of four large-scale, color paintings depicts various black-and-white nude figures residing within the colorful, suburban backdrop of LA, where a lack of any distinguishable season becomes quickly apparent. The reference points for the human figures are culled from popular nudist magazines from the 1950's and 60's. Combined with the artist's own photographs of LA taken with a disposable 35mm camera; the result is a pastiche of time, place, and season, where fragments of an ambiguous narrative unfold.

In a series of small black-and-white paintings, Mull revisits the imagery of vintage nudist magazines, in which nude figures partake in ordinary, quotidian activities. These bucolic and candid images convey something entirely different than the traditional, posed nude so prevalent to the history of Western art. They appear to lack any sense of self-consciousness; their presence simultaneously intimate yet unfamiliar, commonplace yet curious.

Mull utilizes a unique blend of traditional painting techniques and postmodern appropriation, whereby the artist pieces together imagery from multiple photographic sources, then renders them in paint. A cutout, collage feeling is retained, allowing the viewer a glimpse into the process. Mull frequently paints his subjects in grisaille, a technique of rendering in varying shades of gray. The monochromatic palette not only gives a sculptural quality to its figures, but also allows the viewer to step back to a time and place before the use of color photography.

Born in 1943, Martin Mull was raised in the era that he illustrates. He received his BFA (1965) and MFA (1967) from Rhode Island School of Design.

  <Description><![CDATA[This is a beautifully drawn, 40-page comic book about an artist, his seedy existence, his community, and his struggles. A single narrative, extending over 30 years, it was completed anonymously in 1921, which makes it the earliest document of its kind. What we're showing here are the original drawings in watercolor and ink. This is &quot;The Sacred Comic Book.&quot;

The work was emphatically anonymous, but now 89 years later, Jack the Pelican has figured out the artist's identity.]]></Description>

This exhibition of original artifacts, iconic images, and hand-written period documents, many in Lincoln's own hand, will for the first time fully trace the evolution of Lincoln's relationship with the nation's largest and wealthiest state: from the time of his triumphant Cooper Union address here in 1860, to his efforts to hold the Union together in 1861, to the early challenges of recruitment and investment in the Civil War, to the development of new military technologies, and the challenge to civil liberties in time of rebellion. Lincoln's evolving stance on slavery issues alternately pleased and infuriated New Yorkers. African-Americans, many of them veterans of the anti-slavery movement and Underground Railroad activism, saw Lincoln as slow to deal with the numerous slaves escaping during the war. These &quot;contraband&quot; forces clamored to join the Union army which for several years excluded colored troops – be they free men or the newly freed. Meanwhile free black New Yorkers readied volunteer regiments. 

New York's role as the Union's prime provider of manpower, treasure, media coverage, image-making, and protest, some of it racist—the 1863 Draft Riots and the robust effort to unseat Lincoln in 1864—will be traced alongside Lincoln's concurrent growth as a leader, writer, symbol of Union and freedom, and ultimately as national martyr. Through all, from political parades to funeral processions, as this show will demonstrate, New York played a surprisingly central role in the Lincoln story—and Lincoln became a leading player in the life of New York. This exhibition commemorates the Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial. A catalog will accompany the exhibition.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Harris explains his inspiration for “Cake Mixx:”

“A few years ago, my girlfriend at the time insisted upon baking me a cake for my birthday. I begged her not to, but she (and the cake) arrived at my house wrapped in Saran Wrap, a little worse for wear. Since I had no intention of eating it, I did the next best thing: I took a picture of it. The relationship eventually sagged – like the cake. But I learned something valuable. Whereas some people consult astrologers, read Tarot cards, or tea leafs to predict the future, cakes tell it all. The process is simple. After a first date with someone, I ask her to bake me a cake. I give no direction, but the way the cake looks never fails to become a metaphor for the relationship. Take Chloe for example: You can see from her first cake, the relationship had great promise. The second cake tells you that it ended badly. I am convinced I have stumbled on a valuable tool in the arsenal of psychoanalysis: cake reading.”

While the photographs in “Cake Mixx” are a continuation of Harris’s ongoing infatuation with the objects his lovers leave behind – a bar of soap, a hairbrush, a tangle of deflating birthday balloons – they also elevate the cakes to become not only metaphors about his relationships but also portraits of their makers. In this series of photographs, the cakes cease to be merely relics invested with all the intense beauty and suffering of memory and longing, and instead become infused with a heightened sense of uniqueness, of introspection and of self. Part of the reason for this shift in consequence is a shift in procedure: by inviting his lovers to make him a cake, they inevitably reveal some essence of themselves in the process. At Harris’s urging, the viewer is invited to participate in a bit of cake reading psychoanalysis. Once past the initial threshold of seeing merely the objects as something &quot;Gourmet Magazine&quot; might publish, the viewer’s interior wonder begins whizzing: That cake looks professional. Bet she bought it. Then again, maybe she’s a baker. Are those layers meant to make me think that she’s complicated? Is Saran Wrap code for safe sex or daddy issues? Because the frosting is messy, she’s probably wild in bed. If she took a long time making this, does that mean she takes a long time to get ready? The fact that Harris’s photographs play with domestic issues and the familiar trope– the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach– should give the viewer proper pause, however, for the dance of seduction– both as lovers and viewers– can make even the most sober-minded lightheaded and easily taken advantage of.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[These small paintings are made anonymously in India by practitioners of tantra, some of whom are artists, to signify and stimulate specific mental and/or spiritual experiences. While they are traditional images that have evolved over centuries with highly conventionalized forms and colors, they exude such a high level of intentionality that they continually appear fresh and alive. Despite their didactic function, they also have a history of being coveted as decorative objects and abstract art.

  <Description><![CDATA[The Krappy Kamera® Show will feature images that have been produced using equipment from the low end of the technological scale. The concept underlying this show is that in the hands of an artist, any piece of equipment can be used to create engaging photographs. The Krappy camera category, which has included well-known names such as Diana, Holga and Lubitel as well as obscure junk-store finds and homemade pinhole jobs now adds cellphones and the like to the list. The March shows will include:

The National Juried Krappy Kamera Competition started in response to the tremendous number of photographers who were interested in the Gallery's Annual Krappy Kamera Show for its own members. With the competition now in its 12th year, 185 photographers from 37 states and 7 foreign countries submitted nearly 1,000 images. This year's juror was Daile Kaplan, Vice President &amp; Director, Photographs, Swann Auction Galleries. After she had finished the judging, Ms. Kaplan said:

As photographic practices continue to reflect advances in imaging technologies, fine art photography as we once knew it is being reinvented. Soho Photo's Krappy Kamera exhibition highlights 50 new pictures by artists and photographers whose personal visions are defining the distinct look of photography today. While some employed Dianas or Holgas-cameras that offer little technical control due to their plastic lenses and lack of focusing devices-others used iPhones. Although photography has always been inextricably linked with technique, now that notion seems more appropriate than ever.

The 2010 winners are:

Grand Prize Winner: Dan Burkholder, Palenville, NY; 1st Place: Karen Carson, Arroyo Grande, CA; 2nd Place: Michael Gonzales, Katy, TX; 3rd Place: Vaughn Wascovich, Commerce, TX; Honorable Mention: S. Gayle Stevens, Downers Grove, IL; Honorable Mention: Stephen Takacs, Portland, OR;

Honorable Mention: Tim Smith, Brooklyn, NY

More Krap downstairs . . .

The 17th Annual Members' Krappy Kamera Exhibition, featuring the work of 17 Gallery members, will be on display in our front gallery. They're a small group of Soho Photo's finest artists who have banded together to prove that the image is made by the photographer-not the camera. Point-and-shoot cameras and disposable cameras are too extravagant for this show-they are too easy to use. Their credo: a Krappy Kamera makes you work, serves as a reminder that the elements that create a photographic image-aperture, shutter speed, focus mechanism and exposure-can be masterfully controlled by trained hands.

And even more Krap upstairs. . .

Salon des Refusés-Krappy Kollage IV is a unique installation comprised of every non-winning image submitted to the 2010 competition-nearly 1,000 prints will be displayed, floor-to-ceiling, collage-style. As was the case last year, our competition coordinators (Sandra Carrion, Sarah Corbin, Larry Davis, Richard Gardner and Jeff Smith) were so impressed by the quality of work print entries that they wanted to share them with the photography community.

  <Description><![CDATA[Physical negotiations are paramount in Dault's three-dimensional practice, particularly those between the recalcitrance of her industrial materials and her desire to marshal them into unexpected forms. Her sculptures, made from Formica, Plexiglas, wood, and aluminum, often have dents, scrapes, or jagged shards-testament both to the components' previous life and to the sheer effort underpinning the finished works' austerity. These sinuous forms are often anchored to the wall with bricklayers' nylon string, which affirms the &quot;control&quot; Dault has managed to exert. The sculptures exemplify the precise meeting point between their materials' physical properties and the artist's manual dexterity: unlike the works of Dault's artistic forebears, which were often outsourced to production companies, to date she has always worked alone, creating a &quot;performed&quot; Minimalism in-situ. Of course, the &quot;totality&quot; of this control, as in life itself, is an illusion, and the sculptures' solidity can never be fully fixed. Achieving balance, often with unconventional, commercially available materials, is likewise central to Dault's painting practice. The juxtaposition of athletic tape and imitation gold and silver leaf with more traditional oil and acrylic paints accompanies a formal equipoise between chastened grids and free-form mark-making. Her densely layered compositions, achieved through expressive gestures, the use of stencils, the imprinting of discarded palettes, uncontrolled drips, and other means, emphasize the détente between planning and risk so evident in her sculptures.]]></Description>

  <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[Barry Friedman Ltd. presents contemporary Peruvian artist Kukuli Velarde in her first solo show since joining the gallery. Recently awarded the prestigious USA Knight Fellowship by the Knight Foundation and the United States Artists organization, Velarde will exhibit an installation of ceramic sculptures from her Plunder Me Baby series, figurative paintings on aluminum from her Cadavers series, and a video/drawing performance, Apple of his Eye, that will take place during the first two weeks of the exhibition. 
  
Inspired by pre-Columbian terracotta figures, Velarde's Plunder Me Baby sculptures reveal folk tradition, evoke histories of ornament and craft, and disrupt normal aesthetic hierarchies. Removed from their natural environment and installed as if in an anthropological museum, these figurative characters appear as though awakened for the first time. Each figure exhibits strong reactions to their new surroundings including fear, disdain, and aggressive anger. With pejorative slurs as titles, such as Chola Puteadora, Grabby!! Needs to Be Put in Her Place, or Méndiga Perra Autoctona, Bites. Will Not Trust. Likes Tough Love, Velarde imbues these “plundered” artifacts with references to the struggles of indigenous populations as a result of European colonization. Velarde re-casts these appropriated figures as self-portraits as a means of defiantly reclaiming their ownership while giving them new meaning and context. 
  
Velarde’s Cadavers paintings examine popular culture from the context of a Latin American origin.  Taking images from colonial Peruvian painting and contemporary culture, she infuses them with references to gender roles, flaunted sexuality, religious and political colonization, and Latin America’s expectations of women in society. Often based on self-portraiture as well, the results are intimate and personal. Velarde takes clear cues from art history and the influences of the renowned Cusquenian Baroque School. Parallels can also be drawn to the aesthetics of such culturally aware painters as Diego Velázquez and Frida Khalo. By alluding to indigenous myths through mass media, popular art, and modern religious references, she notes the many guises and archetypes that humans must endure in modern society.  
  
Apple of his Eye, the third component of Velarde’s exhibition, is comprised of both a video and a performance piece. The video, depicting her late father speaking about his hopes and dreams for his daughter, examines the strong paternal relationship that led Velarde to become an artist. In the performance piece, Velarde will draw directly onto a gallery wall daily for two weeks, summoning the 3-year old doodler who first caught her father’s eye. She states, “overt communication makes us vulnerable yet it may strengthen interaction and deepen bonds. I do not mind becoming ‘vulnerable’ if in the process common grounds are established and a relationship is created with the viewer.” At the close of the exhibition, the drawings on the wall will be painted over and, as Velarde describes it, “returned to memory.”

  <Description><![CDATA[PaceWildenstein, in collaboration with the artist’s estate, will present Joseph Beuys: Make the Secrets Productive, an exhibition of twelve rare sculptures by the seminal twentieth-century artist, dating from the 1950s through the end of his career. Over 90 black and white photographs taken by Ute Klophaus, documenting eleven of the artist’s ‘Aktion’ works, will be shown alongside four of these iconic happenings on film. The installation will also feature a separate screening room showcasing rare footage and interviews with Beuys. Such an in-depth presentation of Beuys’ sculpture and objects combined with the actions has not been organized by a New York gallery in several decades.

  <Description><![CDATA[Grytting works from the basic, primal language of mark-making to create drawings filled with organic lines. Each line is drawn following certain self-imposed rules; left to right, top to bottom. Some lines will make it all the way; some end where the pencil-point breaks.  Irregularities in the paper force others into unexpected paths.  As a result, there is a rhythm, a pulse in the work as emotions and insights are drawn out onto the paper.  This layering of marks represents a meditation about time and human sedimentation.

  <Description><![CDATA[As the final exhibition at the former Fruit &amp; Flower Deli space, &quot;Scaramouche&quot; is pleased to present an exhibition by Italian artist Cristiana Palandri. For her first solo-show in New York, Palandri presents a selection of recent drawings and sculptures, as well as an installation specifically conceived for the gallery space. Building on her previous investigation with organic materials, this new body of work continues to explore the sculptural possibilities of human hair, animal bones, and bees wax, which simultaneously act as both fragile, ephemeral elements, as well as objects that transcend life.  As if it were a Wünderkammer, the gallery is taken over by Palandri's personal microcosm of destabilized and reinvented structures, deformed pieces of furniture, and test tubes filled with exotic materials in dilution. Borrowing its title from her recent work &quot;Noiseless,&quot; the show articulates around the imperceptible processes of decomposition and transformation that the artist's works undergo.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[In the summer of 2008, Andrew Garn was assigned by the Smithsonian Institution to document biodiversity in a remote area of the Peruvian Amazon. This mission was an incomparable opportunity to photograph an unexplored region of the jungle. Accompanied by six scientists and a number of macheteros, the team traveled throughout the brush, many times creating new trails in untouched rain forest.
Soon the duplicitous nature of the expedition surfaced. The Smithsonian was in place to document the pristine conditions of the forest during the early stages of an extensive oil exploration project initiated by the Spanish energy giant Repsol. Leasing an immense 800 sq mile tract from the Peruvian government, Repsol created over 20 helicopter landing fields by clear cutting immense swaths of forest. Explosive charges were set off to measure the oil reserves under the jungle floor. Eventually, pumping rigs were flown in and a 50-mile pipeline was constructed to bring the oil to market.
Mr. Garn’s experience in the Amazon reveals a place of majestic beauty as well as one of overwhelming chaos, confusion and terror. His photographs and 8 minute video, Lost Amazon, depict a setting of obfuscation, where the boundaries of heavenly reprieve frequently dissolved into torment and wretchedness. 
Two series of photographs detail the jungle inhabitants in their grace and inevitable demise. The Shadow Series illustrates a troubling world where lies an artificial sense of safety. The main body of work, set in a darkened gallery, conveys both the seduction and fear that make up the Amazon.

  <Description><![CDATA[Greenberg Van Doren Gallery presents passa tempo, an exhibition of sculptural installations by New York-based Brazilian artist Valeska Soares, from February 18 – March 20, 2010.  The exhibition is concurrently on view with a large-scale installation, titled &quot;Vaga Lume,&quot; on view at Eleven Rivington, NY, from February 28 - April 10, 2010. Included in passa tempo are three recent works which address the often complex relationship between how we perceive, experience, and record time, and how this plays out in our collective / individual memory.  Soares uses found and collected objects such as book pages and domestic items in these new sculptures and installations re-casting their individual past identities and subverting their original use.  Installed as the centerpiece of the exhibition under the gallery’s skylight is Un-rest comprised of over 100 footstools in every shape and form and from different periods, from the 1800s on, arranged from the vantage point of a single glass chair.  Another assemblage appropriates old and rare wooden boxes that have inlayed tops picturing native Brazilian scenes.  Soares repurposes these landscapes and installs them as a single extended line with a shared horizon, synthesizing their specific singular uses as cigar boxes, sewing kits, and keepsake holders into an idealized collective panorama. horizontes relates to another work, timeline, which is entirely made of pages from found and discarded books strung along a wire that connects two adjacent walls of the front gallery. Each page has a phrase connoting the passing of time which is one of the meanings of the word passa tempo.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[+Kris Graves Projects presents the first exhibition, by photographer Ruben Natal-San Miguel, curated by world renowned photographer Matthew Pillsbury. The show, NY, NY: The Concrete Jungle is a culmination of a 5-year long survey project. Like an explorer trekking into unknown regions of the “Jungle” streets of New York City, photographer Ruben Natal-San Miguel travels in the footsteps of visionary photographers such as the likes of Helen Levitt, Bruce Davidson, Louis Faurer, and Robert Frank.


While NY City has a rich tradition of street photography, Ruben Natal-San Miguel brings this historic street photographic style forward into the new millennium with vivid living color. But Ruben is more than just an observer, for the past five years during the summer months; Ruben has traveled by bicycle throughout Upper Manhattan, searching for what it’s like to live in the Big Apple. For this is his chosen home, like many New Yorkers, Ruben is a transplant, eagerly coming to NY City to make his way in this School of Hard Knocks. As a trained architect he clearly sees both the concrete form and its human function, in particular, Ruben focused the viewer’s eye on the unseen. In this exhibition, the overlooked citizens, and environments are his subject, these are things most people cannot or choose not to see. For, this is not your posh “Sex and The City” Manhattan which people clamor for, but here, Ruben has been able to find, a vibrant and colorful vision of that other Manhattan.


Like Ruben’s Philadelphia friend and influence, photographer Zoe Strauss, he elevates these “unseen” people and places with poetic vision, working to create an endearing meaningful life lesson of what it’s like when the human spirit makes the best of what others may consider to be so little. This photographic project captures the beauty and struggle of everyday life which resonates as a social document of our time, and as a sheer and powerful visual art.

  <Description><![CDATA[In the 1920s and 1930s, the so-called New Typography movement brought graphics and information design to the forefront of the artistic avant-garde in Central Europe. Rejecting traditional arrangement of type in symmetrical columns, modernist designers organized the printed page or poster as a blank field in which blocks of type and illustration (frequently photomontage) could be arranged in harmonious, strikingly asymmetrical compositions. Taking his lead from currents in Soviet Russia and at the Weimar Bauhaus, the designer Jan Tschichold codified the movement with accessible guidelines in his landmark book Die Neue Typographie (1928). Almost overnight, typographers and printers adapted this way of working for a huge range of printed matter, from business cards and brochures to magazines, books, and advertisements. This installation of posters and numerous small-scale works is drawn from MoMA’s rich collection of Soviet Russian, German, Dutch, and Czechoslovakian graphics. They represent material from Tschichold’s own collection, which supported his teaching and publication from around 1927 to 1937.

  <Description><![CDATA[Foley Gallery presents the first New York solo exhibition of photographer Lydia Panas. Lydia Panas is an observer of the family dynamic.  In her photographs, she manages to capture subtle hints of those complex relationships that tend to exist within the extended family or circles of friends.  Her photographs examine the way in which these relationships are simultaneously a product of and an influence upon the identity of each member of the family group.  The subjects are arranged similarly in each image; in some verdant setting, they openly face the camera through a narrowly selective depth of field.  Through this simple arrangement, the subjects confront the viewer with quieted expression and gesture.  Both tension and attraction within the group can be detected in the details: in posture, dress, closeness or distance.  The photographs capture and prolong a moment of pause whereby a slight and perhaps distracted gesture carries the mood and exposes some piece of an interpersonal identity.  Panas manages to disarm her subjects in such a way as to induce the unconscious display of this sort of familiar connectedness in various outdoor spaces made intimate.

Lydia Panas graduated from Boston College with a BA in Psychology.  She went on to study at the Art Institute of Boston and received her BFA in Photography from the School of Visual Arts.  She has also participated in the Whitney Museum Independent Study Program and the New York University/ International Center for Photography MA in photography program. ]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[The Concours takes its name from exhibitions and contests of various kinds held in French ateliers (for example, the Ecole des Beaux-Arts and the Academie Julian) during the nineteenth century, with the students competing for prizes, medals, or even for working spots in the studio. From its inception, the League has held similar concours. Early on, the instructors first picked their best students, and then all the works were exhibited together. There was a purchase prize of $105 called The Instructors' Prize, which was awarded to the student voted the best by a jury of League instructors. Eugene Speicher won this prize in 1908 for his portrait of fellow student Georgia O'Keeffe, and a still-life by O'Keeffe was also acquired for the League's collection.
Each week during the Concours, a judge assigns a seal or &quot;red dot&quot; to the work deemed best of each class. All of the red dot works are exhibited at the end of the year. A committee composed of members of the Board of Control may select works from this exhibit to be purchased for the League's Permanent Collection.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Making a reference to “Specific Objects,” Donald Judd's seminal essay of 1965, the show brings together a group of six artists, who approach art-making with a fresh take on the process of reduction. It is through this reduction that the artists reinvest minimalist art, what Judd located as &quot;neither painting nor sculpture,&quot; with a voice specific to their own time and attitudes. Through these artists' ironic sense of touch, they deflect any sense of nostalgia. As this particular brand of Minimalism has been incorporated into the mainstream of fashion and music, these six aren't just looking back, but looking towards the contemporary culture and economy of a style. Martin Basher confronts painting and sculpture with an ironic take on desire and disappointment. His casual handling of ready-made materials can be seen in his installation piece where a poster of a Claude Monet landscape is affixed to a vertically stripped hard-edge painting. He undercuts notions of escape by the harsh fluorescent light propped against the painting. Both attracting and deflecting the viewer, the fluorescent tube is part Dan Flavin part bug-light. Best known for his band YACHT, Jona Bechtolt primarily works with sound and video. His piece NTSC-YA animates what is typically the static field of a standard TV test pattern. Where Minimalism and Colorfield paintings once focused on uniformity, Bechtolt’s video disrupts and transforms the standard by infusing it with a sense of play, as a childhood Chimalong. Minimal and monochromatic, Daniel Ellis’ paintings capture networks of regular repeating patterns. The patterns, on the one hand, articulate the surface of the painting and, at the same time, soften the solid backgrounds. His work deals with the tension between subtle affects via regimented graphic elements. Though spare in composition, Rashawn Griffin’s work is loaded with references brought by his materials. His paintings feature fabrics, second-hand and new, bringing their own associations and histories to the minimalist object, so often devoid of the personal. Free standing, and sometimes suspended, his work speak to the sculptural presence of painting. Parts and wholes are consistent players in David Scanavino’s work. For instance, his sculpture Untitled (rope cast) makes two parts of one length of rope while his Untitled (one square foot) makes one form of equally sized parts. His use of common materials as standards keeps their transformations articulate and arresting. Takayuki Kubota presents sound in the format of painting. He unravels and splices together reels of tape-recorded readings or atmospheric sound and adheres them to panels. In this way, the work becomes a sonic portrait of a space or literary work.

  <Description><![CDATA[Sperone Westwater is pleased to announce an exhibition of recent sculpture by the Italian team Bertozzi &amp; Casoni. The artists’ second solo show at the gallery, it consists of ceramic works in their remarkably realistic signature style. Bertozzi &amp; Casoni reveal their brash and irreverent view of past arts and contemporary culture in their work.

While the political nature and satirical content of their sculptures is far removed from the traditional style of classic Italian ceramics, Bertozzi &amp; Casoni maintain an emphasis on a continuous updating of themes and topics as well as the application of technological innovations, resulting from research on both products and the production process. The artists position their work in the liminal space between fine art and high-class handicraft, artwork and product, ornament and object. Their precision of technique and composition make the works hover between the real and surreal.

In their dynamic assemblages of found objects rendered in ceramic, Bertozzi &amp; Casoni are fascinated by the concept of decay:

[We] believe that the true essence of things can be found in decay, in everything that has been rejected, in junk, in rubbish. It’s from there that you can find resources to start again. In a post-atomic age, you could reconstruct everything, paradoxically.

Bertozzi &amp; Casoni create scenes that depict the aftermath of modern human consumption and the fragility and transience of life, such as a tray of cracked eggs and a gorilla head on a platter. In Composizione n. 12 (Cicogne) (2008), two storks stand in a nest atop oil barrels and crates. They feed on the refuse of the world—empty soup and beer cans, a severed foot, Euros, and US dollar bills. The objects are carefully placed as in a vanitas still life. The birds become the innocent inheritors of our waste products.

In Composizione-Scomposizione (2007), the artists continue to comment on contemporary culture. In five large ceramic panels, pipes with valves and taps are installed; they are a part of an imaginary plumbing system that includes a lamp post, grenades, and empty detergent bottles. The pipes cover up cultural objects, such as religious and astrological imagery, advertisements, and newspaper pages. The plumbing can be interpreted as that which carries the refuse of the human body as well as the circularity or disorganization of the artistic process.

Composizione n. 13 (2008) is an installation of over 100 first aid kits mounted on the wall. The remnants of life—beehives, religious relics, gas mask, and other objects—exist in the cabinets, which represent the path to healing. In Bertozzi &amp; Casoni’s sculptures, everyday objects are emptied of their functions and reach a higher aesthetic level yet with a casualness that allows the public to freely interpret the work. The artists push the meaning of the work, as they do the medium of ceramic.

  <Description><![CDATA[Collectors Daniel and Serga Nadler have assembled a unique collection of silver jewelry from around the world, including massive neck ornaments, anklets, bracelets, complex earrings, and a wide variety of brooches and fibulae. Portable Treasuries: Silver Jewelry from the Nadler Collection, on view from February 16 to August 8, 2010, showcases selections from the Nadler Collection. The exhibition will present approximately 150 works, from North Africa, the Indian Subcontinent, and the hill tribes of Southeast Asia. This marks the inaugural exhibition of the Nadler Collection, which was generously donated as a promised gift to the Museum of Arts and Design. The jewelry is beautifully crafted, and sadly is in diminishing supply; over the years, many works have been melted down for their silver.

&quot;We started collecting silver jewelry as a lark, and over the years this has grown into a passion,&quot; states Daniel Nadler. &quot;For centuries the jewelry a woman wore was a display of her family's wealth and status. It also represented concrete value, since it could be pawned or sold in lean times. In many cultures, if a woman was rejected by her husband, her apparel including jewelry provided her alimony or compensation. To Serga and me, the attraction of these pieces, created by anonymous craftsmen, is the artistic merit of their works.&quot;

  <Description><![CDATA[A leading figure in contemporary Chinese art, Yin Xiuzhen has worked primarily in site-specific installation and sculpture since the early 1990s. Her work addresses issues on both an environmental scale and a personal one, and often employs quotidian materials, including found textiles. Projects 92 presents her large-scale sculpture &quot;Collective Subconscious,&quot; which is composed of a bisected minivan connected by a long tube covered in a quilt made of found garments. The public is welcomed inside this transformed conveyance, where they will find a cozy refuge complete with low stools and soft pop music— a space that invites visitors to break the silence of the hushed gallery, reinventing it as a place for conversation and discussion.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Parsons's career as a legendary art dealer who represented many of the important avant-garde artists of the mid-twentieth century has often overshadowed a consideration of her own art. This oversight has been remedied in the last decade and a half when several exhibitions and publications have been devoted to Parsons's oeuvre, revealing its originality and her distinctive artistic voice. The present exhibition focuses on a particular facet of Parsons's work, the relationship of her paintings and sculptures to her travels in America and abroad.

  <Description><![CDATA[Drawn almost exclusively from the Archive housed at the University of California Santa Cruz, Grateful Dead: Now Playing at the New-York Historical Society, will chronicle the history of the Grateful Dead, its music, and phenomenal longevity through an array of original art and documents related to the band, its members, performances, and productions. Exhibition highlights from the archive will include concert and recording posters, album art, large-scale marionettes and other stage props, banners, and vast stores of decorated fan mail. Together, these materials provide unique glimpses into the political and social upheavals and artistic awakenings of the 1960s and 1970s, a tumultuous and transformative period that has shaped our current cultural and political landscape. The exhibition will examine how the Grateful Dead's origin in northern California in the mid-1960s was informed by the ideology and spirit of both the Beat Generation and the burgeoning Hippie scene, including experimentation with LSD and the Acid Tests. The exhibition will also explore the way in which the band's refusal to follow the established rules of the record industry revealed an unexpected business savvy that led to both innovations in a rapidly changing music industry and also a host of consumer-driven marketing enrichments that kept fans in frequent contact with the band. The Grateful Dead's time in New York will be viewed in the context of cultural traditions and events unique to New York, but also as yet another stop on a long, strange touring trip that included dates in New York, San Francisco, and everywhere in between.

  <Description><![CDATA[Nature, Once Removed: The (Un)Natural World in Contemporary Drawing presents a selection of work by 21 contemporary artists who use drawing to explore our alienated relationship to nature, creating oblique narratives inflected with irony, anxiety, grotesquerie and satire. Much of the stylization of plants, animals and geological forms in the show bears the influence of popular culture, demonstrating the degree to which our contemporary conception of the natural world has been shaped by cartoons and advertising. The work in the show varies significantly in its treatment of the theme, alternately mythic (Huey, Saul), abstract (Crump, Herrera, Taylor), fantastic (Fueki, Hancock, Karpov, Ulivo), political (Esquivel, Piehl), nostalgic (Barrett, Panter), pessimistic (Di Genova, Hoving), deadpan (Brown, Patch) and wryly funny (De Los Angeles, Johnston, Peterson, Wesley). A variety of formal and technical means are on display, including woodburning, bravura brushwork, meticulous collage and finely polished graphite drawing.

  <Description><![CDATA[To celebrate the recent acquisition of newly struck prints of thirty-six films by Frederick Wiseman (b. 1930, Boston), The Museum of Modern Art presents a comprehensive retrospective of the director’s work. Featuring three to four films each month, this yearlong survey opens with &quot;Basic Training&quot; (1971), followed by a conversation with Wiseman and curator Josh Siegel, and spans his entire career, from &quot;Titicut Follies&quot; (1967) to his two most recent projects, &quot;La Danse—The Paris Opera Ballet&quot; (2009) and &quot;Boxing Gym&quot; (2010). For more than four decades, Wiseman has used a lightweight 16mm camera and portable sound equipment to study human behavior in all its contradictory and unpredictable manifestations, particularly in institutional or regimented situations where authority creates an imbalance of power, or where democracy is at work. Like the great novelists of the nineteenth century, Wiseman combines epic narrative with intimate portraiture. His films comprise a grand panorama of American life (and more recently, the cultural life of Paris)—a kind of modern-day comédie humaine that, quite astonishingly, never loses its vitality or its currency. And though Wiseman approaches his subjects—doctors, ballet dancers, soldiers, students, welfare recipients, factory workers, fashion models, zookeepers, victims of domestic violence, Benedictine monks, the terminally ill—with a minimum of intrusion or influence, he brings a sensitive but trustworthy eye, a lawyer’s penetrating skepticism, and the dramatic impulses of a storyteller to arrive at what Eugène Ionesco, one of his favorite playwrights, called an “imaginative truth.” All films are directed, edited, and produced by Wiseman and from the U.S.

  <Description><![CDATA[The New York State Pavilion was considered one of the best architectural designs at the 1964/65 World’s Fair and is certainly one of the most iconic of structures to survive. Back on the Map: Revisiting the New York State Pavilion at the 1964/65 World’s Fair, explores the design and afterlife of Philip Johnson’s Pavilion and its main exhibit: a large-scale, terrazzo pavement of the Texaco Road Map of New York State.

With less-than-serious references to flying saucers and a colorful circus tent, Johnson’s Pavilion embodied the technological prowess of the period as well historical and pop culture references that would come to define Post Modernism in the years to follow. Built as a temporary structure for the Fair, the Pavilion and its Pop Art map pavement have suffered from over 40 years of exposure and vandalism. The culmination of conservation and reuse studies by the City of New York Department of Parks &amp; Recreation and The School of Design and Architectural Conservation Laboratory at the University of Pennsylvania, this exhibition seeks to inform and engage the public about the significance and future of this 1960s masterwork.

Back on the Map is part of the Center for Architecture’s Helfand Spotlight Series, which features current topics in New York architecture. The exhibition is sponsored by Oldcastle Glass and is supported in part by the National Endowment for the Arts, The Samuel H. Kress Foundation, New York City Department of Parks and Recreation, the School of Design, University of Pennsylvania, and the World Monuments Fund.

  <Description><![CDATA[Throughout history, mythologies have provided explanations for humankind’s existential surroundings through collective beliefs and shared verbal and visual narratives. Representational visual artists have long looked to ancient mythologies as a thematic repertoire, a tradition both preserved and evolved by modern and contemporary artists who continue to address and reinterpret mythological references in their works. This exhibition addresses the artistic traces of these motifs in modern art, as well as the practice of modern myth-making, through a nonlinear, thematic representation of works, following a rough chronology from 1797 to 2008.

  <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[CRG presents a new body of work by Lyle Ashton Harris titled “Ghana” which has been inspired by the cultural space that is taking shape at the confluence of contemporary globalization and a rich cultural tradition haunted by the relics of the slave trade.
As spectator and participant, Harris is insider and outsider simultaneously; exploring his personal experience in Ghana, Harris excavates the shared historical legacy of America and Africa. In his video installation, “Untitled (Cape Coast)”, 2008, Harris combines multiple layers of video over hanging panels of printed silk organza. Images of a serene and idyllic beach scene are superimposed with images of the surrounding environment evoking different historical and anthropological layers; fleeting images of traditional Ghanaian festivals overlay a landscape that is home to what was once one of the largest slave trading forts on the former Gold Coast.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[A.I.R. Gallery announces ...and sweeps me away, an exhibition by A.I.R. National Members, curated by Barbara O’Brien.   

The thought-provoking works of art in ...and sweeps me away cannot be known by standing in a single place—either physical or philosophical. Each of the eighteen artists invites, expects, or demands that the viewer move from near to far to experience the surface or composition of the art, that the viewer brings an intellectual generosity and a willingness to engage. The works reflect a move away from the didactic to the interpretive, away from the self-portrait as an image of the self and towards the self-portrait as a cultural snapshot. Many of the artists imbue abstraction with political and social import while others explore non-traditional approaches in their chosen mediums.

  <Description><![CDATA[This exhibition presents a selection of artworks and historical objects celebrating the contributions of women to the mid-nineteenth-century Sanitary Movement, particularly the highly important Brooklyn and Long Island Sanitary Fair of 1864. The genesis of the exhibition was a rare doll from the Museum’s collection featuring an elaborate trousseau made by a woman named Eliza Lefferts and sold at the Brooklyn Sanitary Fair. During the Civil War, sanitary fairs were held to raise money for the war effort in major cities in the Northeast. These large-scale fairs were social events that combined entertainment, education, and philanthropy. Although the U.S. Sanitary Commission was headed by men, most of its work was accomplished by thousands of women volunteers. In Brooklyn, civic-minded women’s organizations orchestrated the hugely successful Brooklyn Sanitary Fair, a separate event from the New York Sanitary Fair. It raised $400,000, well over the projected $100,000 and equal to more than four million dollars by today’s standards. The money was used for clothing, food, medical supplies, and other provisions for the Union Army. In addition to Eliza Lefferts's doll, the exhibition includes engravings by Winslow Homer depicting women during wartime and a rare autograph book compiled by prominent Brooklynite Gertrude Lefferts Vanderbilt, on loan from the Brooklyn Historical Society.

  <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>

Her large scale drawings challenge the limits of line, shape, and perspective depicting each tree figuratively. Trees remain in one place over time exhibiting strength and beauty. From shadow to light, forms emerge that teach by example the lesson of appreciation for where one is at any given moment in life.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Statement:
I would like to create artistic methods to keep people’s eyes open to their surroundings. Unfortunately, we all so easily get used to our environment and lose our fresh impressions of the things around us, including towards architecture and the city. Once we lose a fresh viewpoint, we take things for granted and start living passively in a space. The power of architecture and the city are thus reduced and the space ceases speaking to us, and stops stimulating our creativity and imagination.

Temporary installations in public spaces or artistic interventions in existing buildings are ways to rekindle our awareness towards space and place. I have experimented with several methods to change
people’s conventional ideas towards the spaces they occupy. Finally, I hope, I will find new effective ways of artistic intervention in our environment.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Winkleman Gallery is slightly nervous pleased to present #class, a month-long series of events organized by Jennifer Dalton and William Powhida. In the artists' own words:

&quot;#class will turn Winkleman Gallery into a 'think tank', where we will work with guest artists, critics, academics, dealers, collectors and anyone else who would like to participate to examine the way art is made and seen in our culture and to identify and propose alternatives and/or reforms to the current market system. By 'current market system' we mean the commercial model and attendant commodification of art, but also the unquantifiable, intangible, unpaid aspects of participating in the art world. We will work to physically transform Winkleman Gallery from a showroom into a think tank, where discussions and events will take place from approximately Feb 20 - March 20, 2010.

These issues will be approached from three intersecting spheres of artistic practice: 'Think Space', 'Work Space', and 'Market Space'. While thinking is also work, we make the distinction here to separate the labor the organizing artists, Jennifer Dalton and William Powhida, will perform individually from the collaborative and communal dialog that we will facilitate.

Among other things, we hope to reduce the amount of certainty that the audience feels when entering a gallery and encountering an art work. The outcome of this project is totally uncertain, and involves risk. We will process this uncertainty and risk artistically and respond as individual artists by making work at tables in the 'Work Space' and and displaying it in a small, marginalized 'Market Space' within the gallery. This will make explicit the conflict artists often feel between their belief in socialist or communal values and their isolated, individualistic artistic work and career.

  <Description><![CDATA[&quot;A Reluctant Apparition&quot; is an exhibition of gallery artists who each invited an artist of their choice– all twelve presenting work selected in response to the show’s title. The haunting of images and their residual effects has long been an artistic preoccupation; recreations and remakes are of particular interest now. Through curatorial doubling, this exhibition proposes less literal– maybe even reluctant– acts of summoning.

  <Description><![CDATA[Using the documentary photographs of her previous collages as a foundation, pieces that often incorporated images of musical and political figures from the 1970s and 1980s, Sparks introduces a new series of works on paper and stretched canvases in which the figure has largely disappeared. In the absence of these icons, extracted fragments and sections of collage material are imbued with a new and evocative signification, alongside the scanned aluminum foil and piles of glitter that have become Sparks’ signature gesture. Reconfigured, the compositions function as residual imprints upon which Sparks has placed post-it notes, woodcuts and stitched fabric. The resulting collages and paintings, for which she has coined the neologism extractions, intimate the historical avant-garde and the gender-based innovations of the Pattern and Decoration movement, among others.

In several works, the figure re-enters through abstract, fabric forms, including both cut-out templates and cut-away pieces taken from clothing patterns. One colored acetate sculpture gathers all the components needed to make an entire outfit of clothing, while other fabric patterns include vinyl stencils derived from a Kasimir Malevich painting that Sparks has previously integrated into her collages and wall interventions. A life-size wall-piece presents an image of two women applying this vinyl pattern for Sparks’ recent exhibition in Cologne (Projects in Art and Theory, 2009), providing another reminder of the labor-based preoccupations that function as a primary theme throughout the exhibition.

  <Description><![CDATA[In the representational but surreal realm are works like Jane Benson's constructivist look at nature, Anne Deleporte's photo fresco, Karl Erickson's latch-hook pillows, Shana Moulton's reflections on the supernatural powers of household objects, and two works from Peter Rostovsky's series Significant Objects. Nina Lola Bachhuber and Ohad Meromi both push recognizable objects into ambiguous assemblages that, in their wholeness, defy classification while containing the recognizable: horns, eggs, and LPs, to name a few. Pushing familiar forms further into abstraction are works by Richard Artschwager, Brendan Fernandes, Sheree Hovsepian, Jenny Salomon, and Roberto Visani. Artschwager's is a splattered version of itself, while Hovsepian and Salomon's contributions involve layering of image towards a holographic effect. Visani and Fernandes – Salomon as well – blur the line between animal and human. To complicate matters, artworks by Ian Cooper and Mary A. Valverde channel the logic of electronic and mathematical networks and systems. The only confirmed word in the rebus will be an artwork by painter and book artist Robert The, bearing a four letter word: THIS. ]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Sara Meltzer Gallery presents Quartet, an exhibition of works by gallery artists Felipe Barbosa, Sarah Cain, Stephen Dean and Edgar Orlaineta that portray four diverse voices in the abstraction of materials, concepts, function and forms. 
 
Brazilian artist Felipe Barbosa (born 1978, lives in Rio de Janeiro) re-contextualizes common materials and accentuates their formal qualities by creating repetitive yet dynamic compositions. Although constructed manually, his sculptures are indicative of the mass-production process used to manufacture the materials. A plane of ties are sewn together along their edges to create a staggering field of color and patterns that embody a playfulness and fluidity contrary to the common affiliations of these garments. Pinned to the wall, the ties sag and flop, re-situating themselves from something ordinary into a rhythmical movement of fabric and color.
 
Moving fluidly between works on paper, paint – on and off the canvas and wall, as well as site-specific installation, Sarah Cain (born 1979, lives in Los Angeles) makes adept use of her materials. Geometric abstractions at first glance, Cain's drawings and paintings disrupt the legacy of modernist abstraction by combining or juxtaposing ostensibly incongruent color, shapes and materials – doilies, sand, fabric, synthetic flowers, beads, paints of all kinds and gold leaf on paper, books or sheets of music. Cain's approach to color, pattern, movement and a use of objects that she describes as having &quot;found&quot; their way into her life, subvert and deny easy categorization. Instead, Cain creates unique visual atmospheres in which the more lyrical and emotive qualities of such polar opposites as abstract painting and craft, for example, collapse into a distinctive form of communication.
 
The work of Stephen Dean (born 1968, lives in New York) is engaged with color and its existence in cultural rituals and formal structures. His sculptures and works on paper interject color into pre-existing systems of organization and transform them into abstract compositions. In this ongoing series the artist uses weather maps from newspapers as templates for unexpected arrangements. Painting within the confines of the map’s graphic lines seems a simple gesture, yet by doing so, the artist confuses the familiarity of the image and subordinates both the idea and physical manifestation of the maps. Reminiscent of miniature paintings in scale and illuminated manuscripts in their use of saturation of hues and bold lines, these drawings continue the artist’s consideration of notions of painting and the inherent ability of color to convey information.
 
In the series Chance Encounters, Edgar Orlaineta (born 1972, lives in Mexico City) combines ideas and forms drawn from modernist art and design. The title of the series is borrowed from the pre-surrealist writer Comte de Lautréamont's famous line &quot;as beautiful as the chance meeting on a dissecting table of a sewing machine and an
umbrella!&quot; Drawing from this example of surrealist dislocation and the ready-made tradition, Orlaineta positions seemingly dissimilar objects - iconic pieces of modern art and Italian design combined with swatches of 1980's popular graphic design – into a single visual composition. Orlaineta posits random encounters and formal coincidences to examine the cultural values that shape our perception of the objects around us.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Barry Friedman Ltd. presents the New York debut of contemporary artist Ian Ingram featuring his newest body of self-portraits. Ingram has spent the past 2  years working on this highly anticipated series of large-scale drawings. The exhibition, Divining, will be accompanied by a full-color catalogue with a feature essay by Garth Clark, published by Barry Friedman Ltd. 
 
Ian Ingram’s work is often about moments of transition, points in life when change occurs. His self-portraits are autobiographical reflections of meaningful events, such as his wedding, or the birth of his child. Ingram describes these emotional moments as “times when a decision or an action changes your entire worldview.  The image is of leaving one world and pushing through to another.” His hyper-realistic and intensely emotional self-portraits arrest the viewer with a direct gaze that at times seems almost uncomfortably intimate. Art critic Kristin Barendsen states, “Viewing these intense self-portraits isn’t like looking at another person-its like being another person looking in the mirror, searching for meaning inside your own brilliant eyes.” Drawings are often considered the most direct connection between an artist and his ideas, and Ingram’s self-portraits are no exception. Beyond serving as a vehicle to relay his feelings to the outside world, Ingram’s drawings become unflinching windows into his subconscious, and serve as a tool for his own self-reflection and rumination.  
 
Ian Ingram’s tightly rendered canvases are realistic yet dreamlike, and demonstrate a range of techniques. From dramatic contrasts of light, dark, and line, to organic methods of cross contours, grids, and blending, each method plays a role in building the subtleties, nuances, and porous surfaces of the human face. Working with a base of charcoal, pastel, ink, and watercolor, Ingram also incorporates more unconventional materials, such as beads, beeswax, metallic thread, silver leaf, string, and even butterfly wings. The embrace of these organic patterns and mediums has become a critical component to Ingram’s creative process and has increased the 
aesthetic complexity of his finished works. ]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Ryan Scully grew up in the shadow of the DOE Hanford Nuclear Site in Richland, WA. The unique influence of dependence on a controversial industry, a striking desert landscape and the ominous importance of resources deeply impacted the young artist’s development. In Always Moving, his canvases are populated with rough landscapes and amorphous characters in a state of anxious flux. Rocky overhangs struggle to break free. Threatening clouds sweep in and out of frame. Multiple inhabitants scurry towards perceived safety or to join in a group offense. These elements share an unsettling yet cooperative relationship. They are in a state of push and pull, an ever twisting but also evolving relationship in which life and it’s environment struggle against each other yet ultimately become equal and find space to co-exist.

  <Description><![CDATA[&quot;Hyper&quot; refers to the new garish supermarkets in Paris and Rouen  where consumer goods, brightly packaged and presented, make for a vivid and contemporary backdrop for his pictures. Darzacq brings street dancers, mostly young men and women in their late teens and early twenties into these stores and asks them to perform their leaps, jumps, twirls, and other gravity-defying movements. Darzacq's working methods are wonderfully captured in a documentary film by Marie-Clotilde Chery. The photographs explore the tension between being and having, between the human body and the built environment. They offer a fresh, witty and intensely colorful commentary on global consumerism and freedom of spirit. Denis Darzacq’s photographs, taken in fractions of a second and not photoshopped, sit comfortably at the edge of traditional stop-action photography.

With two distinct new series, Bleckner here focuses on physical and perceptual changes that result from even hourly progression. Both groups of works depict expanses of flowers that are profuse and brightly colored, yet deliquesced, scraped away, and abstracted until they become blurs of paint. Seven six-foot-square canvases integrate this floral imagery with the rough configuration of a clock face.  Demarcating the hours are bold numbers heavily veiled by layers of paint, or numbers subtly delineated within the brush strokes.  One work upends the traditional analog face with a succession of digital numbers that reverberate as if from accelerated movement. Large works on mounted photographic paper integrate the literal passing of time. In Rorschach-like formation, skeins of fragmented flowers painted on the surface react with the emulsion so that they seem to occupy a deep, unsettling and distinctive void between light and dark, positive and negative.

  <Description><![CDATA[When one thinks of Hilla Rebay, the words artist, curator, founder, and director of the Guggenheim Museum often come to mind. But her interests and initiatives as an art and museum educator have remained largely unrecognized. Hilla Rebay: Art Educator features some of her remarkably progressive efforts to provide a variety of audiences—from youth and teachers to artists and museum visitors—with opportunities to learn about nonobjective art, or art without representational links to the material world.
Rebay had a clear vision of how the museum should function, as well as how it should present nonobjective paintings. As museum director, she gave gallery talks and instructed her staff, comprised primarily of artists, to “advise people who visited the museum.” The paintings on view were purposefully hung close to the floor and accompanied by comfortable gallery seating and music to encourage sustained, contemplative viewing of the works. Comment books in the galleries enabled visitors to share their responses. Study prints and posters were sent to individuals and schools free of charge. Nonobjective works submitted to the foundation offices were returned along with a written critique, and Rebay would sometimes note her “corrections” directly on the canvas or paper, in the tradition of the European masters. Painters of promise were awarded scholarships and funding for art supplies.
As a testimony to her foresight, innovative spirit, and intuitive educational sensibilities, sixty-five years later many of Rebay’s initiatives exist today as standard art museum education practice.

  <Description><![CDATA[Hélène Bamberger took photographs of Marguerite Duras during the summers they spent together in Trouville, Normandy, from 1980 to 1994. These images tell the story of Duras and depict her haunts, her worktable, her room, the skies of Normandy, her lover Yann Andréa…

“When I first met Marguerite, I had never read any Duras. It was only afterwards that I read her. We got on so well right from the very beginning; we started our road trips in my father’s car, a rusty old Peugeot. I was the one who drove during the summer of 1980; in the years that followed it was Yann. We would go wherever she wanted. Each place had a different name and a story of its own: the bridge at Tancarville crossed the Mekong; the salt-meadows became rice-fields; we drove through “the forests of Canada”… I took photos from the start; often she would direct my efforts and occasionally would put herself in the frame. Before I got to know her, the idea of photographing a landscape would never have entered my head, much less a puddle of water.” - Hélène Bamberger

Since the late 70s, Hélène Bamberger has worked as a photojournalist and she co-founded the Odyssey Agency in 1982. From 1980 to 1994, she made an impressive series of portraits that covers almost fifteen years of Marguerite Duras’s life, representing the most thorough photographic essay on the author. Her work is regularly featured in magazines such as Elle, Marie-Claire, Le Figaro, National Geographic France, Der Spiegel…

  <Description><![CDATA[Continuing its commitment to the exhibition of works on paper, Senior &amp; Shopmaker Gallery inaugurates its new space at 210 Eleventh Avenue in Chelsea with an exhibition of drawings and seldom seen hand-colored prints by Thomas Nozkowski. The show will include work produced over nearly two decades, and seeks to shed light on the integral connections between the artist’s drawings, paintings on paper, and printmaking endeavors.

For over thirty years, Nozkowski has practiced his own form of idiosyncratic abstraction, foregoing a signature style or subject matter in favor of seemingly limitless variations in form and nuanced color. Though the artist claims his images are drawn from the everyday world and personal experience, their literal sources are obscured, leaving only the faintest suggestion of the familiar. Like artist forbears Jean Arp, Paul Klee, and often Joan Miro, Nozkowski works on an intimate scale particularly well suited to works on paper, and whose detail and variation are demanding of the viewer’s focused study.

  <Description><![CDATA[The 185th Annual: An Invitational Exhibition of Contemporary American Art will feature 65 emerging and established artists selected by a jury of National Academicians.  This biennial invitational is an inter-generational exhibition of non-Academicians that offers an opportunity for the public to preview new artistic directions in contemporary American art.  Seen from the perspective of distinguished American artists, this national exhibition includes artists working in the New York area and the Eastern region as well as the Midwest, West Coast, and as far away as Hawaii. 

It spans the gamut from realism to abstraction, and includes a mix of painting, sculpture, mixed media and installation art.  Selections represent diverse ideas, mediums and techniques from an historic number of over 400 artists that submitted work for consideration.  “The exhibition includes an array of artists and art-making strategies from emerging and veteran abstractionists to representational artists addressing issues of identity and sexuality,” notes Marshall Price, Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art at the National Academy Museum.

Friday, February 19, 6:45PM – Inside the Invitational with Robert Berlind
Get an inside view of the 185thAnnual from a National Academician. Following on the heels of the opening, Robert Berlind, a National Academician and member of the selection jury chooses a quieter moment to share his vision of the exhibition.

  <Description><![CDATA[Carissa Rodriguez is a New York based artist, writer and gallerist. In her work she addresses questions regarding authorship, originality and collective production. Her intervention at SI examines the function of the SI lobby as a transitory space.

Rodriguez’ first exhibition was in 1996 at American Fine Arts. She presented her first solo show at Forde, Geneva in 2000 under the curatorship of Mai-Thu Perret and Fabrice Stroun. From 2001-2002, Rodriguez attended the Whitney Museum Independent Study Program. 2004 marked her last participation in an art exhibition in New York at Greene Naftali and her entry into the gallery world as an art dealer at Reena Spaulings Fine Art.

  <Description><![CDATA[In this exhibition, Oates will show newer work from the “Transitory Space” series along with framed digital prints of book spreads. One of the books from this series is created from images shot in Finland and Newfoundland. Her past books have been created from a feminist perspective, while more recently she has explored ideas about public and private space, but intrinsic in all of her books is an acute sensibility for their visual appearance. She states, “Many of my books deal with an inner awareness of the world either as a woman or as an individual experiencing time, memory and space through poetic and fluid perspective.”]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[The exhibition will feature hand painted wooden sculptures of toys by the enigmatic Swiss (Geneva) artists Helge Reumann and Xavier Robel, who have done collaborative work as Elvis Studio since 1996.
The new series of Toy Sculptures by Elvis Studio explore boyish violence and the terrors of play. A nostalgic 1950's spaceman toy &quot;Robot&quot; is layered like a nesting doll- remove the iron shell to discover the vulnerable astronaut within- remove the astronaut's skin to see the trouble workings of his interior. The hand-made silkscreened box pictures the spaceman running in fear across a lunar wasteland.
The bumper car amusement ride &quot;Wetzel&quot; is surrounded by thuggish spectators, and recalls the unsavory fun of the carnival. A toy sawmill becomes a scene of martyrdom for helpless trees, the dying logs sporting halos. An innocent toy bus is neatly sliced down the center, to open and reveal all the passenger's guts. Each precisely crafted piece dissects the dark realms of the childish imagination. The &quot;Brutallo Toy Series&quot; repackages cheap plastic toys to highlight their dark lessons about adult life. &quot;The Elvis Studio vision is deliberately juvenile in a good way. In its cheerfully dark humor it expresses feelings shared by people of all ages that the world might be teetering on the brink of total chaos .&quot;
.Also included in the exhibition will be large drawings executed individually by Xavier Robel for the monolithic comics anthology Kramer's Ergot 7.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Directed and Produced by Jonathon Keats Plants have roots. As a consequence of this simple fact, they do not travel naturally, lacking the chance to experience the world's vast diversity, and even missing out on the many subcultures and microclimates of New York City. In order to let flora encounter distant realms vicariously, conceptual artist Jonathon Keats presents a series of travel documentaries specifically targeted to the plant kingdom.

Given their ability to perform photosynthesis, plants are a fit audience for cinema. These travel documentaries exploit that affinity, screening onto plants' leaves a selection of skies – the ultimate botanical tourist attraction – filmed in the United States and Europe. Since plants do not have human eyesight, and perceive light only in aggregate, footage is projected onto a scrim which diffuses the picture, streaming subtly changing tints of blue onto the foliage below.

People are also invited to visit. But of course, human experience will be second-hand: Strange Skies is presented for the entertainment of plants.

  <Description><![CDATA[The exhibition consists of 50 photographs of nocturnal landscapes Robert Adams made between 1976 and 1982 near his home in Longmont, Colorado, on the eastern ridge of the Rocky Mountains. 
Robert Adams leads the viewer outwards in these photographs from the populated center of the suburban town towards the rustic plain and distant Rocky Mountains. During his evening perambulations the photographer captured trees and houses, mountains and streets, fields and sidewalks between dusk and approaching dark. Lit by the setting sun, street lamps, and moonlight, his compositions are never conventionally beautiful. They vacillate between quiet foreboding and tranquil domesticity and, as the photographer has expressed in his own writing, attempt to capture the timelessness and peace of warm summer evenings.

  <Description><![CDATA[Montreal based tattooist and painter David R. Choquette will be unveiling his first ever solo exhibition of paintings in New York City with approximately 15 brand new, never before seen paintings on display. David R. Choquette is a 29 year old Montreal based tattooist and painter. He's intrigued by the sense of discomfort that physical abnormalities cause. His portraits, often miniature, are aesthetic counter type to the popular standards. Obsessing over every square inch, he creates strange atmospheres where ugliness and beauty are hard to dissociate. With sharp details, he tries to communicate the sensibility of his inner world.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Carl Fudge, who combines digital technology with traditional art-making techniques, will exhibit unique prints that range from the monumental to the miniature. In his new series, Dazzle, he reconfigures woodcuts by Edward Wadsworth, a member of the short-lived British art movement called the Vorticists (1914-15). The Vorticists promoted a British brand of modernism which stressed geometric abstraction and the hard-edged precision of mechanical forms. Fudge further abstracts Wadsworth’s abstracted subjects – industrial scenes of North England and Dazzle ships, which were patterned with designs to confuse the enemy in World War I. Approaching abstraction conceptually, Fudge suggests correspondences between the utopian vision of the Industrial Age and our current infatuation with digital technology.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[BAC Gallery presents Glitch Generation, a group exhibition of artworks rooted in mistakes, either intentional or found, including &quot;glitches&quot; in the wiring of our brains. Some participating artists have created a unique environment to produce a malfunction in an otherwise stable system, while others have happened upon a glitch by chance. The exhibition also includes a Music/Performance on April 1 and a Video Screening on May 6.

The Glitch art aesthetic is in part a reflection of the digital age. The fast development and quick improvements of media devices like phones, cameras and computers have heightened our expectations of communications tools.Glitch Generation plays with our collective expectations by pointing out the malfunctions, mistakes and imperfections that inevitably occur despite our desire for perfection. 

Whether the artist intentionally used a computer program to create a glitch, manipulated hardware to create a manufactured imperfect environment, or came across the aberration by chance, each saw an opportunity to create beauty and to work with color and form in a new way by shedding light on the glitches.

  <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[Mitchell-Innes &amp; Nash presents a two-person exhibition of New York painters Joe Bradley and Chris Martin in the Chelsea gallery. Both artists will present a group of new works. The exhibition was conceived as part of an ongoing dialogue between the two painters.

JB: … You know, wishful thinking is the way things start. It kind of seeps into reality after a while.

CM: I wish we could all wish for not knowing what we are doing. But in a good way. I think there's a sense of freedom that comes from everybody not being too sure what they're doing. Someone once said about New York in the early 1950s, late '40s, after Expressionism was sort of bursting onto the scene, &quot;There was a moment, maybe six weeks or so, when no one had any idea how to make a painting.&quot; And that's a lovely idea, that we don't know what we're doing…

JB: There's this Guston quote that I think is brilliant, that when you're in the studio, your friends and family are there and the ghosts of art history are there, your contemporaries are there. If you stay long enough they all leave, and if you're lucky you leave…

CM: Right, so the real discipline is that one goes to the studio or one goes to a space where one is available to the muse. There are no preconditions, only that you go there and you move colored dirt around. The discipline is listening to the colored dirt telling you what to do. So the discipline is showing up and staying…

JB: It's really hard to articulate but I do think that that's the place to be when you're making art. I mean you need one foot on turf, on land, and one foot in the cosmos. 

CM: It's like being inside and outside at the same time. On the one hand you are in trance, on the other hand you are watching yourself paint. And I think the key is that when you are watching yourself paint you don't judge, you just watch. The less I judge the more I can actually create and see what I'm doing. 

JB: The stuff that always sticks with me is the work that I see and I'm like, &quot;I want to make something.&quot; You know what I mean? You're allowed to keep doing it. It's not like an end game sort of thing where this is throwing down the gauntlet. You know, it is open-ended. 

CM: Yeah, that's right. God, we sound like a couple of old Beats. If you are reading this now, we don't know what we're talking about, and we don't know where this is going. Just like our best paintings. 

The above dialogue is excerpted from an interview published in The Journal in Fall 2009. 

Joe Bradley was born in 1975 and lives and works in Brooklyn. He received his BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design in 1999. He has had solo exhibitions at P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center and Canada in New York, and at Peres Projects in Los Angeles and Berlin. His work was included in the Whitney Biennial in 2008. He is represented in New York by Canada.

Chris Martin was born in 1954 and lives and works in Brooklyn. He received his BFA from the School of Visual Arts and attended Yale University. Recent group shows have included &quot;Abstract America&quot; at the Saatchi Gallery in London, &quot;Painting as Fact – Fact as Fiction&quot; at de Pury and Luxembourg, Zurich, and &quot;The Painted World&quot; at P.S.1. His work is represented in the collections of the Corcoran Gallery in Washington, D.C. and the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago. He is represented by Mitchell-Innes &amp; Nash. ]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Pulling diagrams from a variety of sources as broad as internal medicine, psychology, chemistry and physics Phillip Buntin coalesces imagery into not quite functional pictographic explanations of complicated ideas. Although not explicitly referencing Marcel Duchamp's 
pseudo-science or the fictional physics that allows for space travel in numerous movies and TV shows Buntin's paintings have a logic all their own that results in multi-layered complex compositions that seem to “work” even if the viewer isn't quite sure how. Buntin's visual metaphors seek to express the “experience of  generating  interpretations (or understandings)  of  complex things,  ideas and experiences.” This exhibition, Buntin's first with RHV Fine Art will feature 12 oil and acrylic paintings on panel (20” x 20” and 16” x 16”). 

Phillip Buntin received a Bachlor of Science in psychology from Kennesaw State Univ, Kennesaw, GA in 1989 and his BFA from the Atlanta College of Art, Atlanta, Ga in 1997. He earned an MFA from the University of Connecticut in Storrs, CT in 2002.  He teaches at Kent State University's Warren campus where he lives and maintains his studio.

  <Description><![CDATA[Curated by Adam Carr.

From André Breton's &quot;La Révolution surréaliste&quot; to printed publications offering space for artist projects today, the magazine has served as a site for artistic production for decades. In Print revolves around the magazine as a location for artwork, looking at recent instances in which artists have utilized this format in periodicals from a variety of origins. Offering a short history of the fusion of artwork and magazine, &quot;In Print&quot; focuses more on recent cases than those of the past, on publications whose contents are entirely available for handling and viewing by visitors. In doing so, &quot;In Print&quot; not only foregrounds the artists' original intention of choosing such an available context as a site for work, but also intends to encourage participation and eschew the frontal, expected relationship of artwork and viewer. Taking the form of a library shelf, with all of the included publications ordered according to the participating artists' surnames, &quot;In Print&quot; is the first in a series of curated bookshelf projects at e-flux reading room. Reflecting the library or bookstore, and mimicking the movement typically occurring within such domains, the inventory of &quot;In Print&quot; will expand over time, with the number of participating artists increasing as the exhibition travels.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Our two galleries will bring together German Artist Boris Hoppek &amp; transient Alex Diamond’s work as they have received increasing international popularity in recent years. These artists have exhibited in solo and group shows in museums, galleries, festivals and art fairs in Europe as well as in the US. In a joint effort the artist will show new works on paper and Boris has promised an up the skirt installation.

Boris Hoppek, has been an acclaimed name in the Graffiti-world since the late eighties, more recently he has become an outstanding talent within the contemporary art scene. By thematizing sexuality, violence, racism and oppression in a very clean and accurate style, the artist isolates provocative themes for contemplation. Since 2004, the heliumcowboy artspace has exhibited his works in three solo shows and on diverse art fairs. In Basel and Miami 2007, Hoppek set up huge interactive cardboard installations at SCOPE, and today he is one of the most prominent European artists coming from a background in Street Art/Graffiti. For SCOPE Basel 2008, Hoppek was invited to convert the water taxis commuting across the Rhine into floating artworks, bringing his narrative potential away from the constrictions of a traditional booth scenario onto the water.

Alex Diamond is unseizable as a person and difficult to categorize as an artist, he is more fantasy than reality. His main issue always centres around his work and its presentation, but never around the personality of an individual. Alex Diamond appears always as a new and different creation of a role or character with every one of his shows. Not limited by a CV, a formative education or even a dedicated technique or style, Alex Diamond constantly develops a new specific presence for the “Artist behind the work“. Alex Diamond is an artist who apparently lives solely through the art he creates – and vice versa. He plays mind tricks with visual aids, pleasing at one moment, disturbing in the next. Independent from styles and techniques, he mirrors life and our constant fight for possession, superiority, survival and love in an almost nonchalant way.

  <Description><![CDATA[During February and March the GEORGE ADAMS GALLERY presents an exhibition of new work by LESLEY DILL. The exhibition, Paper &amp; Bronze, consists of large and small-scale figurative sculptures in cast bronze, sculpted paper, as well drawings in charcoal and collage. Included in the exhibition are two large unique bronze figures, eight small unique bronze sculptures, four small paper sculptures, one large-scale and two small-scale drawings. The work incorporates language taken from Charles Dickens, Emily Dickinson, Salvador Espriu, and Franz Kafka. Accompanying these works is the film version of Dill’s opera, “Divide Light,” which combines the language of Emily Dickinson with music, costume and video projection. 

The two largest sculptures, both unique casts, are “Rapture” and “Faith” from 2010.  “Rapture” is a nearly six foot high perforated bronze figure of a woman in a billowing dress, a bird perched on her head and the words “raptures“ and “germination,” spelled out in bronze letters extending up from each arm. “Faith” is a darkly-patinaed male figure that is mounted on the wall and posed as if about to leap into the air. On his chest appears, in contrasting, polished letters a phrase taken from Kafka, “Was he an animal that music had such an effect on him?”

The large works are complemented by a series of smaller – 13 to 18 inches high – unique cast bronze figures made in 2009 and 2010. Among them “Ecstasy,” and “Every Utterance” mount directly on the wall, while others rest on pedestals or, like “Spit Bite,” hang from the ceiling. In various ways music is the source of inspiration behind many of the works in the exhibition, especially the seated figures, posed as if in full voice, which were inspired by the chorus that performed in “Divide Light.”

  <Description><![CDATA[&quot;Art may not stop violence, but present philosophic examples of human activity as creative alternatives&quot; is one important credo of Ghanaian-born artist George Afedzi Hughes. Connected in several ways with former works, the core topic of his “Layers” series is the ubiquity of violence – in societies, in ecologies and in man as part of nature. Hughes is focusing on the inevitability to escape violence and its related emotional dynamics – and the basic necessity to try it over and over again. His new works are tending to the layers that superimpose blocked-out aspects everywhere in the world. He is bringing up widely tabooed matters nevertheless lurking behind the surface concerning personal experiences as well as historical phenomena like colonialism, current socio-political developments and present-day global conflicts. In short: his work is thematically dominated by visual reminders of the savage side of man and human societies.

Born 1962 in Sekondi (Ghana) and after moving to the US in 1994, Hughes obtained a Master of Fine Arts in Painting/ Drawing Minor from Bowling Green State University (Ohio) in 2001. Since 2006 he is Assistant Professor of Painting at the Visual Studies Department of the University at Buffalo, New York. Painting is an integral part of his creative oeuvre but his artistic activities also include poetry, assemblage and performances. The “layered aspects” of his new series are reflected in the use of materials applied to the canvas in several layers. ]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[The show includes miniature oil paintings on glass slides and lantern glass covers of abandoned or marginalized landscapes. The majority of the paintings focus on the Solvay Waste Beds, 1400 acres of contaminated and sterile land, a superfund site near her home in upstate New York. The artist gained access to the site as an “artist in residence” and worked alongside scientists and environmentalists who are working to remediate the land. Marion Wilson has painted the landscape through four changing seasons. The microscope slides not only refer to the scientific aspect of the project, but emphasize the skill and craftsmanship that it takes to create something so small. They allow the viewer to examine and inspect the paintings, and therefore the site, more closely.
Marion Wilson’s practice consists of working collaboratively with people from different disciplines, frequently on large scale public art projects with limited budgets, recycled materials, and overlooked populations and neighborhoods. All art material the artist chooses to work with is chosen for its conceptual potential as well as its aesthetic value.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[In J. Parker Valentine’s work, tangible, concrete forms emerge from fragments of gesture, thought and memory. She confronts binaries such as drawing and erasure or abstraction and figuration, and uses these opposing forces of push and pull in an elastic way to arrive at something elemental. Valentine’s drawings, on paper and MDF, are raw and tectonic. She speaks of “finding forms” – which, at times, arise immediately and yield spare, elegant works. At others, her process of drawing and erasure requires that works be cut, torn apart, broken down and re-assembled. The exhibition space is parsed by drawings on precariously arranged panels of MDF – a material approached by the artist for its paper-like surface as well as its tentative structural potential. Each individual panel leans against the surface of the wall to varying degrees, supported by a single, bent nail. Valentine uses photographic images from her personal archive as a solid counter to her drawn works. For this show, she presents found images in the form of silver gelatin prints or as a series of roughly shaped “vessels’ made with book pages bonded to clay. These hollow, bottomless chambers suggest conduits, funnels or repositories of information. The printed works in the exhibition allude to alternative legacies – cultural, artistic, and familial - or play upon language and typography, in particular their ability to be transformed by our perception.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[The Walter Wickiser Gallery announces the solo exhibition The Amplitude of Nature, works by Katsuhiro Kuramoto on display. 

“Katsuhiro Kuramoto has been an artist since he was a child. In elementary school, his homeroom teacher, an art teacher by chance, saw a painting by Kuramoto and submitted it to a competition held by the Osaka Art Museum. As it turned out, the young artist won the prize. Kuramoto's compositions resonate with his memories of childhood. Modeled with resin clay, Kuramoto uses gold, silver, and platinum foil to build a composition that is mesmerizing in its effects. A higher consciousness is the goal of the artist, who worships nature in the form of carp, flowers, and butterflies. As a result, Kuramoto's choice of a simple but telling imagery goes along well with the
positive notions of Shintoism, its emphasis on harmony and world order.”* 

* Jonathan Goodman writes about the arts for numerous publications, including The New York Times, Artnews, 
Art and Auction and Art and Antiques.

  <Description><![CDATA[Artist and healer Sue Gurnee will present a series of paintings each constructed to stimulate viewers to fully utilize his or her decision-making process. Through her independent observational research that was begun in 1989, she has identified a cross cultural/cross generational set of seven distinct rhythmic brain functions, the fulgent cadences, that drive our decision-making process. These paintings have been made as a way for viewers to balance their rhythmic brain functions so to embrace growth and development through the quality of their choices.

  <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[Pinaree Sanpitak is one of the most compelling and respected Thai artists of her generation, and her work can be counted among the most powerful explorations of women’s experience in all of Southeast Asia. For well over twenty years, her primary inspiration has been the female body, distilled to its most basic forms and imbued with an ethereal spirituality.

Her first New York solo exhibition, Quietly Floating, featuring a series of large, monochromatic paintings of breast and cloud forms. Some are done in a soft, metallic silver, with delicate, textured highlights, while others are infused with vibrant colors. These breast/cloud forms also appear in a remarkable group of intimate works on paper, and in an installation of large, aluminum mirrors. As the exhibition title suggests, the works convey a sense of tranquility and weightlessness that is at once otherworldly and profoundly natural. Through basic imagery of the female form, they convey a powerful sense of humanity, of the quiet truth of its physical and spiritual interconnectedness.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Sixty years before the embrace of collage techniques by avant-garde artists of the early twentieth century, aristocratic Victorian women were already experimenting with photocollage. The compositions they made with photographs and watercolors are whimsical and fantastical, combining human heads and animal bodies, placing people into imaginary landscapes, and morphing faces into common household objects. Such images, often made for albums, reveal the educated minds as well as the accomplished hands of their makers. With sharp wit and dramatic shifts of scale akin to those Alice experienced in Wonderland, these images stand the rather serious conventions of early photography on their heads.

  <Description><![CDATA[Iannis Xenakis: Composer, Architect, Visionary explores the fundamental role of drawing in the work of avant-garde composer Iannis Xenakis (1922–2001). One of the most important figures in twentieth-century music, Xenakis originally trained as an engineer and was also known as an architect, developing iconic designs while working with Le Corbusier in the 1950s. This North American premiere of Xenakis's visual work is comprised of samples of his pioneering graphic musings, architectural plans, compelling preparatory mathematical renderings, and pre-compositional sketches—in all, nearly 100 documents created between 1953 and 1984. The exhibition is accompanied by an exciting schedule of public programs, concerts, and symposia around New York City. ]]></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[Jessica Jackson Hutchins employs hand-formed ceramic vessels, household furniture and collage to articulate sculptural forms that interrogate the space between the banal and the sublime. Her sculptures and collages put found objects and familiar materials in conversation, resulting in poetic abstractions where aggregate forms transcend the immediacy of their common parts. The insistent materiality of her sculptures and their raw surfaces yields to a humor and intimacy that solicits an empathic response from the viewer. Patently abstract, the works in this exhibition all point indirectly toward figurative forms.  Some pieces originate with furnishings taken from the artist’s home, which invests them with both an emotional urgency and an acute specificity.  These care-worn domestic objects bear the familiar marks and dents of encounters with bodies and things; casual imperfections that humanize them.  In other pieces, Hutchins pulls prints and casts impressions directly from furniture: She makes collages on prints that capture the carved and inked surface of a dining-room table, and two sculptures assume the bulky mass of an old green arm chair. The use of ceramics in the work simultaneously signifies domestic utility and the realm of historical artifacts.  But Hutchins’ vessels also generate metaphors for bodies and body parts (both literal and fantastic) as regenerative or spiritual containers.  Hutchins’ expansive vocabulary is deeply invested in the innate human ability to recognize and associate with others and objects.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Focusing on the 1960s, this multimedia exhibition will explore the cross-cultural relations between a number of European countries’ cinematography and fashion and their reception in modern US culture. In particular, the show will present for the first time archival materials such as photographs, costume sketches, interviews with stars, (Archivio San Biagio, Cesena and Roberto Palmas archive), Italian TV commercials from RAI, the Italian State Television company; as well as feature films by Federico Fellini (&quot;La Dolce Vita;&quot; &quot;8 1/2&quot;), Michelangelo Antonioni’s (&quot;L’Avventura,&quot; &quot;La Notte,&quot; &quot;Red Desert,&quot; &quot;Blow Up,&quot; &quot;Zabriskie Point&quot;), Jean Luc Godard (&quot;Breathless;&quot; &quot;Contempt&quot;), Luchino Visconti’s (&quot;Rocco and his Brothers&quot;), Pier Paolo Pasolini,(&quot;Accattone,&quot; &quot;Teorema&quot;), Elio Petri, (&quot;The 10th Victim&quot;), Ingmar Bergman (&quot;Persona&quot;); and clothing in the style of the period. The juxtaposition of this rich and diverse material along with film screenings will allow viewers to critically revisit one of the most important and innovative decades of the twentieth century. A symposium featuring internationally renowned scholars in the fields of film, art, and fashion such as Adriana Berselli, the costume designer who worked with Antonioni’s &quot;L’Avventura,&quot; will explore the multifaceted relationship between fashion and film and their impact on the construction and projection of personal and collective identities and style. Testifying to the enormous impact the 1960s and its aesthetics has had on contemporary culture is the popularity of a TV show such as &quot;Mad Men&quot; and recent feature films such as Lone Scherfig’s &quot;An Education&quot; or Tom Ford’s &quot;A Single Man,&quot; both set in the 1960s. 2010 will also mark the fiftieth anniversary of films such as &quot;La Dolce Vita&quot; by Federico Fellini and &quot;L’Avventura&quot; by Michelangelo Antonioni, &quot;Rocco and his Brothers,&quot; by Luchino Visconti and &quot;Breathless&quot; (Jean Luc Godard), which made known to the world and especially US audiences, Italian and European culture, style, and identity. The exhibition will, in fact, explore the European-US connection in cinema and fashion, two major industries that always feed off each other. The James Gallery's location on New York's major midtown thoroughfare, in a building that once housed the historic B. Altman Department store, makes it a perfect fit for this exhibition, which will explore the interactions between geographic spaces (cities and countries); public spaces, the street, the movie theatre, the department store, and private spaces through the viewing of films where clothes are in action. ]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[This is the first American museum exhibition devoted to the work of the reclusive and mysterious Czech photographer Miroslav Tichý. Now over eighty years old, Tichý is a stubbornly eccentric artist, known as much for his makeshift cardboard cameras as for his haunting and distorted images of women and landscapes, many of them taken surreptitiously. Tichý began photographing in the 1950s, in part as a political response to the social repressions of Czech communism. However, it is only in the past five years that his intensely private work has gained public attention. The exhibition, organized by ICP Chief Curator Brian Wallis, includes a number of Tichý's homemade cameras as well as approximately 100 of his photographs.

  <Description><![CDATA[Although he lived next door to Niagara Falls, artist Charles Burchfield (1893–1967) chose to focus his nature-based art on the ground beneath his feet. Curated by artist Robert Gober, this exhibition features over one hundred major watercolors, drawings, oils on canvas, sketches, notebooks, journals, and doodles by this visionary American artist. Acclaimed by critics and known to a broad public audience during his lifetime, Burchfield is curiously under-appreciated today. Working almost exclusively in watercolor, Burchfield’s primary subject was landscape, often focusing on his immediate surroundings: his garden, the views from his windows, snow turning to slush, the sounds of insects and bells and vibrating telephone lines, deep ravines, sudden atmospheric changes, the experience of entering a forest at dusk, to name but a few. He often imbued these subjects with highly expressionistic light, creating at times a clear-eyed depiction of the world and, at other times, a unique mystical and visionary experience of nature. Organized by the Hammer Museum, Los Angeles.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[This exhibition discusses the last two centuries of medieval Spanish history in the Crown of Aragon (the Kingdom of Aragon, the Kingdom of Valencia, and the region of Catalonia) from the vantage point of religious art, and demonstrates the documented cooperative relationship that existed between Christians and Jews who worked either independently or together to create art both for the Church and the Jewish community. Religious art was not created solely by members of the faith community it was intended to serve, but its production in the multi-cultural society of late medieval Spain was more complicated. Jewish and Christian artists worked together in ateliers producing both retablos (large multi-paneled altarpieces) as well as Latin and Hebrew manuscripts. Jews and conversos (Jews who had converted to Christianity) were painters and framers of retablos, while Christians illuminated the pages of Hebrew manuscripts.

  <Description><![CDATA[Spencer Brownstone presents a tandem exhibition featuring the work of Tara Sinn and Rafaël Rozendaal. Winter is a time marked by hostile weather and driven by extremes. Functioning as an immersive environment, this exhibition descends into a realm where the altered psychological state of winter operates as the norm, -the artworks simultaneously reveling and reviling in conflicting symptoms of indulgence and depravation, anxiety and detachment, mania and depression.

First conceived as a web animation (http://www.babydinosaureyes.com/xanax.html), Tara Sinn's XANAX utilizes typography and design tropes to address the limitations of pharmaceutical taxonomy, psychiatric medication, and its greater psychopharmacological concerns. Toying with the construction of the palindrome, Sinn blurs the lines between the austerity of official drug nomenclature and the contemporary nonchalant approach to recreational drug use. This exhibition will feature a new large-scale installation version of XANAX composed of suspended Mylar.
\
A full-fledged participatory installation, Rafaël Rozendaal's Broken Self was also originally concocted for the Internet (http://www.brokenself.com/). Using a minimal approach, the site consists of a blank browser window acting as a brittle medium that can be shattered with the mere click of the mouse. Whether interpreted as a release from an overly wired world or attributed to the continual breaking-down of the Self, the effect is one of blissful violence and purgative joy. In the installation version the screen is simply painted onto a concrete wall lit only via a rapid strobe. Participants engage by projecting glass bottles at the painted screen, creating a euphoric crash and a rain of broken glass. On the floor, the shards remain as they fell, accumulating and leaving a shiny residue of the creative destruction.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[James Fuentes LLC presents Book ends., featuring Ben Berlow, Marc Handelman, Matthew Higgs, Larissa Nowicki, Stephen G. Rhodes and Richard Wentworth. 
 
The exhibition will consist of work that dynamically employs printed books as art material.  As readers replace traditional books with digital formats, the dwindling reliance on the physical book form coupled with the simultaneous surplus of accumulating printed matter results in a crisis state for this millennial- aged tool.  The works in Book ends. explore the medium of the book, acting to preserve and amplify the inherent qualities that books possess.  The level of intervention ranges from direct appropriation from books in the work of Higgs, Berlow and Handelman, to assemblage-oriented works by Rhodes and Wenworth, and finally to elaborate “weavings” by Nowicki, who intertwines shredded book pages to fracture and re-arrange meanings.

  <Description><![CDATA[Richard Serra once again pushes the boundaries of printmaking with five new large-scale etchings. These prints are evidence of this renowned artist’s continued ability to convey on paper the weight and monumentality of his sculpture. Over the years, Serra has worked closely with Gemini master printers to develop new techniques for creating astonishing texture in his etchings. The resulting rough, raised surfaces – the texture of which was derived from rubbings of asphalt road paving – compel viewers to experience the prints in a very physical, three-dimensional manner.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[This exhibition will focus on work that creates a sequence of images that leads from one to another as a literal or an implied narration unfolds. By this narrowing down to a single aspect of an artist’s book, Rosenberg is able to broaden the varieties of how artists explore telling a story, through form and content. For each of these artists in these works, a narrative emerges through the relationship of the previous to the following. They explore various commentaries on societies through who we are as a whole or as individuals, through personal experience or as participants in a broader culture, in an explicit way or a more abstract dance of natural forms.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Heller Gallery presents an exhibition of new work by Beth Lipman titled de Rigueur.  

Two major installations will be the focus of the exhibition - the towering Bride and a pair of Whatnots, Victorian-inspired corner units.  In both works Lipman takes new ownership of the still-life genre combining social commentary with a personal narrative.

In the Bride Lipman presents the wedding as a fulcrum in a woman’s life in which the exquisite emblematically collides with the quotidian.  The piece is a 10-ft. tall 5-tier dessert stand filled with glass objects.  The top tier is set with an orderly crown of candles, which gives way to a tier of stemware.  The third layer contains a fuller arrangement of cups and bowls and below them is an opulent laid table-like installation. The lowest layer explodes with an overwhelming assemblage of all the parts from tiers above.  The Bride goes from order to chaos or chaos to order depending on which direction your eye travels – top to bottom or bottom to top.  Lipman uses the height and stratification of the piece to prevent us from seeing it in its entirety and therefore from actually or visually possessing it.  In doing so she reexamines her questions about the complex relationships between satisfaction, knowledge, ownership, and the human desire to possess. 

The Whatnots take their name from a piece of furniture popular in England in the 19th century, designed to contain various collectibles.  Lipman’s version consists of two wooden multi-shelf corner units, which hold a collection of souvenirs from her own life remade in black glass, a material synonymous with Victorian mourning jewelry.  Understanding the intimate connection between the souvenirs – many of them gifts to the artist from other artists – makes the pieces autobiographical.  Taken out of context they demonstrate the banality of our object-obsessed lifestyles. ]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Since 1980, the American photographer Thomas Roma (born 1950) has published eleven books of his photographs, compiled two limited-edition hand-bound volumes, and contributed his pictures to a variety of other publications. Columbia University’s Miriam and Ira D. Wallach Art Gallery begins 2010 with a rare opportunity to view exhibition prints from his published works in Pictures for Books: Photographs by Thomas Roma organized by Susan Kismaric, a curator in the Department of Photography at The Museum of Modern Art.

Thomas Roma is a native of Brooklyn, where he currently resides. Many of his photographs describe mundane life in the borough: neighborhood gardens, passengers riding the elevated subway train, facades of storefront churches and synagogues, religious services in small African-American churches, and portraits of people waiting in the corridors of Brooklyn’s criminal court. Viewed as a whole, Roma’s photographs are a chronicle of urban life as it is lived by ordinary residents, a description of their aspirations and hopes, and a record of their successes and failures. In several projects, he has extended his concerns to communities outside of New York, such as the landscape and life of people in small villages in his ancestral Sicily. In a recent project done in New Jersey, he photographed the houses of patients visited by the poet William Carlos Williams, when he worked as doctor in the 1950s. A member of the post–Garry Winogrand and Diane Arbus generation of American photographers, Roma extends the tradition of photography’s documentary aesthetic with pictures of great formal confidence to reveal what might be called, for lack of a better term, traditional values.

Thomas Roma has exhibited widely, both nationally and internationally, and his work is in numerous public and private collections. Twice the recipient of a Guggenheim fellowship, he is on the faculty in the Visual Arts Program in the School of the Arts at Columbia. The exhibition at the Miriam and Ira D.

  <Description><![CDATA[The Yancey Richardson Gallery presents Harmony Sisters, an installation of new work by Finnish artist Esko Männikkö.  Winner of the prestigious Deutsche Borse Prize in 2008, Männikkö has exhibited internationally since representing Finland at the 1995 Venice Biennale.
 
An ongoing series begun in 2005, Harmony Sisters is comprised of intimate photographic portraits of domestic and wild animals, including horses, cows, dogs, monkeys, and birds, taken near the artist's home in northern Finland or in zoos in Europe.  Building upon an earlier series, Flora and Fauna, Harmony Sisters testifies to Männikkö's deep and respectful relationship with nature and his subjects. Tightly composed and closely cropped, Männikkö's highly detailed renderings of swirling fur, fleshy tongues, wrinkled muzzles and glistening eyes approach beauty while bordering on the grotesque.  In certain images the animal subjects return the unflinching scrutiny of Männikkö's camera and the gaze of the viewer with an equally steady and powerfully engaging eye.  As described by Julia Bryan-Wilson in Artforum (Nov. 2006), &quot;These engrossing - and gross - details resist the ro mantic conventions of anthropomorphism: Each eye is singular, impassive, and intensely focused, a metaphor for Männikkö's camera and its sharp, monocular gaze.&quot;
 
Filled edge-to-edge with strong, formal compositions in deeply saturated color pressed close to the picture plane, the photographs take on the character of a painting.  This quality is underscored by the large wooden frames made by Männikkö, which both complement his images and comment ironically on photography's relationship to painting.
Recognized as &quot;Young Artist of the Year&quot; in Finland in 1995, Männikkö first gained international prominence with his portraits of isolated Finnish bachelors in the &quot;Far North&quot; who epitomized a kind of loneliness and self-reliance.  In 1996, he was awarded an ArtPace international artist residency in San Antonio, Texas, where he photographed the residents of two small Mexican American communities on the border of South Texas.  His ongoing series, Organized Freedom, focuses on abandoned houses resulting from rural depopulation throughout northern Finland.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[The exhibition is presented in conjunction with Bigger, Better, More: The Art of Viola Frey to give a sense of the lively era in which she was working. At the beginning of Viola Frey's career- the early 1950s, the art climate in California encouraged experimentation. Far removed from the New York art world and its hierarchical and conventional definitions of fine art, California artists were free to explore with more personal and artistic freedom. They created work which was informal and vibrant, introducing the concepts of Abstract Expressionism and Funk to the field of ceramics.

  <Description><![CDATA[Gogol, not Google’… and we laughed. This exhibition appropriates the name of the great Russian/Ukrainian writer to speak about the haunting appearance of physical objects and images in the present world, in which laughter (sometimes through tears) continues to serve as a potent agent of timeless sublime. Laughter keeps disarming the body and makes it invisible.
The time and the place of action should be considered irrelevant. ‘[I] t is as useless to look in Dead Souls’, as another giant Russian writer observed, ‘for an authentic Russian background as it would be to try and form a conception of Denmark on the basis of that little affair in cloudy Elsinore.’ Who doubts the existence of Dead Souls …
Post-Gogol: The Silent Absence of the Body is a micro-tribute to books, or rather to the book, not as a text, a pure artifact or a found object, but rather as an inspiration (direct or indirect) for the artist. By alluding to such loaded referents as Gogol’s stories, the artist acknowledges the rigorous yet evanescent power of poesis. However, none of the artists in this show illustrates Gogol; what they do, instead, they share ‘a Gogolian gusto of weird details.’]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[In Chinese art, the birthday is a celebration of a long and rewarding life. This exhibition—focusing on scenes of splendid celebrations and works incorporating the theme of longevity—draws together examples in many media from the Museum’s collection as well as some exceptional promised gifts.
A recurring scene of a grand reception at a family compound—appearing in a lacquer screen and boxes, a set of embroidered panels, a porcelain vase, and a tapestry—represents the eightieth birthday party of General Guo Ziyi (697–781), a Tang-dynasty hero who was transformed into a popular god of wealth, honor, and happiness. In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, this celebratory scene itself became a metaphor for birthday celebrations and a frequent theme in large-scale works presented to distinguished individuals to commemorate a birthday, promotion, or retirement. The largest works are usually in tripartite form: scenes of arriving guests, the reception, and the family's private quarters.
Themes of longevity were pervasive in art of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and decorative arts, paintings, and garments with such themes were appropriately given, displayed, and worn on birthdays. Long life was encoded in the character for longevity (shou), in scenes with Daoist immortals, and in rocks, peaches, cranes, and flora and fauna of many kinds. Other associations with longevity are based on myths and legends, such as tales of the theft of peaches of immortality from the orchard belonging to Xiwangmu, the Daoist deity known as the queen mother of the west.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[&quot;Dao,&quot; an ancient Chinese concept means &quot;way,&quot; &quot;path,&quot; or &quot;natural working of the universe.&quot; Daoists consider the Dao an original Oneness in things, an eternal underlying foundation of being from which the many parts of the universe continuously spring and into which they continuously return.
 
The state of the Dao in contemporary China is in disrepair and the artists in this exhibition explore the social, political and environmental changes of the new China - most notably, consumerism, pollution, and military expansion - as a means of restoring the balance. In this way they are fulfilling the ancient function of the artist in society.  Such ideas are inherent in the poetic renditions of the Daodejing ascribed to the hand of Laozi who lived around sixth century bce. This beloved work was as much a blueprint for a utopian society as a guide to self-perfection. Government, it explains, should not interfere in its citizens' life: left alone society will find a peaceful coexistence. Daoists presented copies of the text to emperors to enlighten them. Sometimes artists were the intermediaries, performing on behalf of the members of their community: Bedecked in flowers, shamans in ancient China sang songs, performed dances, and offered gifts to the gods to assure peace and prosperity. Daoists propose rejection of corrupt society and finding solace in nature.
 
Faced with the current situation in China, artists are reacquainting themselves with the great literature that was forbidden during the Cultural Revolution; they are amazed and delighted by it, and comforted that they are now able to have access to this special kind of wisdom couched in witty and poetic terms. Inspired by such ancient philosophical writings they draw upon these ideas to understand their world, and some artists today have even resumed their traditional function. They take up themes in their art that reflect the current situation in China; they are acting as intermediaries in the cause of the populace and trying to establish a society in harmony with the ancient principles.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[The Frick Collection presents Watteau's Les Plaisirs du bal, now on view in the museum's North Hall. The painting — considered to be one of the artist's most beautiful — is one of nine works from Dulwich that will be shown exclusively at the Frick.
On March 9, the remaining eight Old Master paintings will be installed in the exhibition and open to the public. The Dulwich Picture Gallery is one of the major collections of seventeenth- and eighteenth-century pictures in the world. The exhibition, which heralds the Gallery’s bicentenary in 2011, will introduce American audiences to this institution’s collection through an exceptional group of works, to be shown exclusively at the Frick.
The signature masterpieces, many of which have not been on view in the United States in recent years, and, in some cases, never in New York City, are: Rembrandt van Rijn’s (1606–1669) Girl at a Window, 1645; Sir Anthony Van Dyck’s (1599–1641) Samson and Delilah, c. 1619–20; Thomas Gainsborough’s (1727–1788) The Linley Sisters, probably 1772; Sir Peter Lely’s (1618–1680) Nymphs by a Fountain, before 1640; Canaletto’s (1697–1768) Old Walton Bridge over the Thames, 1754; Gerrit Dou’s (1613–1675) A Woman Playing a Clavichord, c. 1665; Antoine Watteau’s (1684–1721) Les Plaisirs du Bal, most likely 1715–17; Bartolomé Esteban Murillo’s (1618–1682) The Flower Girl, 1665–70; and Nicolas Poussin’s (1594–1665) The Nurture of Jupiter, mid-1630s.

  <Description><![CDATA[Hand-printed on monumental hand-made paper measuring up to 60” x 40”, entire cities, countries, and continents are saturated with layers of elaborate lines, explosions of words, and vibrant colors. These complex and alluring screenprints reflect the unrestrained approach to artistic practice that has made Paula Scher one of the most provocative figures in the contemporary art and design world. The maps are a highly personal re-imagining of the “useless information” that bombards us through every form of media. As art practices are turning increasingly towards digital imagery and manipulation to achieve their desired means, Scher’s hand-pulled screenprints are unabashedly expressionistic. The determination to visually realize a problematic space with a high degree of formal elegance and graphic finesses is a new take on the highly charged aesthetic of Modernism.

Scher’s limited edition screenprints are created with the highest quality fine art screen-printing technique, each realized with the same hand-drawn elegance of her painted maps. Using the highest quality paper and printing techniques available, these screenprints will last over 500 years and can be passed down for generations as highly collectible works of art.  Executed in an array of remarkable 30 – 40 colors, meticulous attention to detail, and with a wealth of knowledge like no map before, these stunning works are sought after by fine art collectors all over the world. The Limited Edition  Screenprints Maps Series is highly collectible and are an excellent way to build a contemporary art collection.  Prints included in the exhibition are India (2010), Europe (2009), NYC Transit (2008), China (2008), Manhattan at Night (2008), The United States (2007), The United States (Blue) (2007), The United States (Red) (2007), The United States (White) (2007), The World (2006), The Dark World (2006), and Africa (2003).

  <Description><![CDATA[This exhibition marks Jonas’s third at Yvon Lambert. Reading Dante III draws inspiration from Dante’s fourteenth-century Divine Comedy, a reoccurring topos of Jonas’s work since 2007. Each performance and installation becomes increasingly layered as the work transforms and develops. The first installation and performance of Reading Dante was at the 2008 Biennale of Sydney. Later that year Jonas performed the work at the Yokohama Triennale, and also performed a reading at The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston, from which filmed excerpts are now incorporated into the current Dante video. Jonas was featured in the International Pavilion of the 2009 Venice Biennale where she installed Reading Dante II. Most recently, the artist presented Reading Dante II at the Performing Garage in New York as part of Performa ‘09. Jonas translates the medieval allegory, borrowing small fragments of the text and greatly reinterpreting the story through performance, sound, drawings, video and installation. The artist dynamically visualizes the journey of the characters, merging their experience with her own through footage of travels and performance. The plethora of elements employed by Jonas, which initially may seem disparate, collectively form a complex, choreographed, and imaginative vision in the artist’s personal aesthetic language.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Star Black is a poet and photographer who has created a series of large-scale accordion books that merge found texts, found photographs and ephemera (maps, hand-written letters, ledgers, etc.) to create surreal imagery. The exhibition is accompanied by individual collages and her own writings. Black says: &quot;In many ways my collages are similar to poems but translated from visuals, taking symbols, textures and &quot;found&quot; words from else where and composing them within a page.&quot;]]></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[Priscila De Carvalho’s installations are dynamic architectural landscapes composed of paintings, drawings, collage, foam and rubber that convey the complexity, chaos and paradoxes of contemporary urban life in cities, sprawling, decaying and affected by uncontrolled massive urbanization. Through beaming colors and multiple surfaces her urban labyrinths transmit into the space the energy of these cities constantly changing.
 
Born in Brazil in 1975, she lives and works in New York. A Recipient of the 2009 Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant and of the 2010 Sculpture Space Fellowship and Residency Program, her works have been featured in individual and group exhibitions in the US including The Aljira Center for Contemporary Arts and The Jersey City Museum. This is De Carvalho's first solo show with Praxis International Art.

  <Description><![CDATA[When visiting an exhibition of Claudio Parmiggiani at Le Couvent des Bernardins, in Paris, the curator was struck by the idea that some works of art, when considered for a while, end up giving the impression that they are alive, that they seem to have a mind, an autonomy and a soul of their own... They seem to have a life, independent of the decisions of their creators. They have the ability to mesmerize us, without the need for high technology or interactive systems, by their strange, magical and sometimes whimsical presence. The spectator's willingness to spend time absorbing the personalities, movement, colors, and the artworks' very existence is the sole key to a new realm of fascination. The works on display at Parker's Box are ultimately &quot;only&quot; objects, or matter, animated by somebody else's will and not their own. Inanimate in the sense that they have no &quot;anima&quot;, or soul, they nonetheless, oscillate between the surrealist question: &quot;Inanimate objects, do you have a soul?&quot; and the archaic belief of animism.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[This exhibition is the first ever dedicated to Agnolo Bronzino (1503–1572), and will present nearly all the known drawings by, or attributed to, this leading Italian Mannerist artist, who was active primarily in Florence. A painter, draftsman, academician, and enormously witty poet, Bronzino became famous as the court artist to the Duke Cosimo I de’ Medici and his beautiful wife, the Duchess Eleonora di Toledo. This monographic exhibition will contain approximately 60 drawings from European and North-American collections, many of which have never before been on public view.

  <Description><![CDATA[Modernism represents the defining movement of twentieth-century architecture and design; yet, every day, important works of modern architecture are destroyed or inappropriately altered. The solutions for protecting them can be as individual as the threats that endanger them. These threats range from physical deterioration to perceived economic or functional obsolescence to public apathy. Often, the greatest challenges to saving modern buildings can be the innovative design and technical features that help define them as significant achievements in the history of architecture.

While there is no single response that can prevent the loss of every endangered modern site, the architects and designers working today play an increasingly critical role in demonstrating that these buildings can be economically and functionally viable and continue to serve useful purposes as places to live, work, learn, gather, and worship. The advocacy role of good design becomes increasingly important as the building materials and systems of many modern structures that stem from the classical period of modernism through the postwar boom reach the end of their physical life span. Saving modern landmarks is important because they enrich a community’s sense of place – providing continuity between its past and important buildings of our own times.

  <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[As the title of the exhibition suggests, the show is designed to make visible a portion of the female anatomy that is generally considered taboo―too private and intimate for public display.  If shown at all, this part of a woman’s body is usually presented in an abject fashion, generally within the context of pornography, intended, in almost all cases, for the exclusive pleasure of men.  The goal of this exhibition is to remove these prurient connotations, implicit even in works of art, ever since the pudendum was prudishly covered by a fig leaf.  This gesture of false modesty, it should be noted, was devised and enforced entirely by men (not only in the case of classical sculpture, but also in the Bible, in which, immediately after their disobedience in the Garden of Eden, Adam and Eve cover their genitalia with fig leaves).  Indeed, until recently, virtually all depictions of the frontal nude female figure were made by men, but as this exhibition will demonstrate, that has changed dramatically in recent years. Inspiration for both the show and its catalogue came from Eve Ensler’s &quot;The Vagina Monologues,&quot; a stage play that premiered off-Broadway in 1996, and was followed by various productions throughout the world (it appeared as a book in 1998).  Ensler gave voice to countless women worldwide, honoring the complexity and mystery of their sexuality, basically encouraging them to consider their vaginas as powerful and expressive components of their physical selves, something not to be ashamed of, but to be proudly protected as an assertive and positive manifestation of their being.  The idea for this show came from realizing that there was no better group to give vision to this goal than artists, many of whom had already incorporated imagery of the vagina in their works.  Because of Ensler’s pioneering work in this field, the catalogue is dedicated to her, and proceeds from its sale shall be donated to V-Day, the organization she founded to end violence against women and girls throughout the world.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[&quot;Alan B. Stone and the Senses of Place&quot; is an intimate exhibition that explores photography, memory and some of the meanings associated with &quot;place.&quot; Guest curator and native Montrealer, David Deitcher, presents approximately 60 black-and-white photographs by the little-known, Montreal-based photographer, Alan B. Stone (1928–1992). Proceeding from the assumption that one knows one's past in part through pictures, Deitcher presents Stone's work as a case study by which to examine some of the ways in which people experience, use and are affected by photographs. A working photographer who practiced many photographic idioms, Stone's limited claim to fame stems from his vocation as a shrewd purveyor of beefcake—male pin-ups and physique photographs—which he produced, published and sold, beginning in 1953 under the name of the Mark One Studio. This exhibition combines a selection of these images with Stone's oblique, enigmatic pictures of Montreal and period newspaper articles to realize this exhibition's location of the place one associates with &quot;home&quot; at the confluence of time, space, history, politics, the law, memory and imagination.

  <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[Kathleen Cullen presents Redi-Mix, an almost-solo-project of works byJames Hyde.  Along with Hyde's paintings, a constantly evolving group show will take place.

Hyde will present his recent paintings-- photographic prints which form the physical ground but also the image-space on which Hyde builds his painterly compositions. Styrofoam, papier-mache, blocks of wood, tape, as well as paint-- matte &amp; glossy; thick &amp; thin-- form Hyde's painting kit.  Hyde's emphatically material painting slathers and dissects pictures of unfinished building sites, late night reveries, and fragmented views of nature. Often startling, these paintings show Hyde engaging the world through the technical and emotional framework of abstract painting.

During the show the gallery will be in constant flux-- Hyde's paintings-on-photos will cycle in and out.  Every week the gallery and artist will organize a salon of works alongside Hyde's paintings. Sculpture, photography, paintings, drawings, prints and multiples by emerging, established and historical artists will appear every week like guests to a cocktail party. 

Photographs by Jan Groover, Lucas Blalock and Curtis Mann; sculpture by Fabienne Lasserre and Paul Lee; paintings by Joe Fyfe and Thomas Lindvig and prints byDieter Roth and Bridget Riley will be on view.  With this show we hope to transform the gallery to an intimate salon—a place to make unexpected connections between the familiar and the new.

Innes's new works represent a significant departure from his iconic &quot;Exposed Paintings&quot; and are an exciting development in his continuing investigation into the making and unmaking of abstract painting. Innes still methodically prepares the paintings' surfaces with size and gesso (as in the &quot;Exposed Paintings&quot;), yet in these new works, the picture plane is split vertically in half. Innes applies two separate colors across the entire surface and then rigorously removes the paint on one side. This process is repeated, leaving one half of the painting covered in layered, complex color whilst the other half of the painting is cleansed as much as possible back to the original gesso. Inevitably, the cleaned half retains a palimpsest of the colors that were absorbed into the gesso; as a result, the artist's palette exists outside of the realm of traditional painting and instead suggests a far more unique chromatic vocabulary.

The tactile quality of Innes's paintings continues in his new works on paper, a number of which will be included in the exhibition. In these works, the paint is applied to large sheets of waxed paper; as a single line, or multiple lines of color, is removed using a thinning medium, the contrast of the waxy, luminous nature of the support emerges. These works on paper represent some of the most sophisticated explorations of color that the artist has achieved in recent years, and create a sense of visual immediacy that act as a powerful counterpoint to the &quot;slow-burn&quot; complexity of the paintings on canvas.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[The gallery’s first exhibition in over a decade dedicated to the influence of surrealism on American figural and abstract art, spans two decades from 1931 to 1952, the exhibition features painting, drawing, sculpture, and collage by thirty-two artists. It offers a special opportunity to view the works of celebrated practitioners of American surrealism alongside those by artists not typically labeled surrealist, but whose beginnings are rooted in the movement. The broad scope of this group show enables the exhibition to explore the rich and seemingly divergent manifestations of surrealism in American art.

  <Description><![CDATA[Kazimir Malevich (b. 1878, near Kiev, Ukraine; d. 1935, Leningrad), one of the most celebrated Russian artists of his generation, is recognized for his innovations in Suprematism, an abstract style that sought to capture the essence of color and form. Before arriving at this point around 1914, however, he experimented with various styles such as Realism and Impressionism, as well as more current developments in contemporary art. He was especially influenced by Cubism, characterized by the breaking down of form and space, and Italian Futurism, which sought to simultaneously convey shifting forms and the dynamism of the modern city. Malevich had encountered these modernist movements through his active engagement with the Russian avant-garde. 
This intimate presentation of six paintings spans a ten-year period and illustrates Malevich’s path toward a truly original mode of artistic expression. Moreover, the works share a unique history: each was included in the retrospective exhibition of Malevich’s work in Poland and Germany in 1927 and the works have not been exhibited together since that time.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Featuring more than eighty works drawn almost exclusively from the Morgan's exceptional collection of Italian drawings, Rome After Raphael illuminates artistic production in Rome from the Renaissance to the beginning of the Baroque—from approximately 1500 to 1600. The exhibition, the first in New York to focus solely on Roman Renaissance and Mannerist drawings, takes Raphael's art as its starting point and ends with the dawn of a new era, as seen in the innovations of Annibale Carracci. The show includes striking examples by great masters of the period, including Raphael, Michelangelo, and Parmigianino, among others. Also on exhibit are Giulio Clovio's sumptuous Farnese hours, the Codex Mellon— an architectural treatise on important Roman sites and projects, including Raphael's design for St. Peter's— and a magnificent gilt binding. Having recently undergone a thorough investigation of its technique and media, the Morgan's Raphael school painting, &quot;The Holy Family,&quot; will be on view as well. Numerous drawings in the exhibition are related to Roman projects and commissions, including elaborate schemes for fresco decorations of city palaces and rural villas, funerary chapels and altarpieces, and tapestry designs and views of newly discovered antiquities. The exhibition opens a window on the past to afford us a glimpse of the artistic sensibility and lavish patronage of the period.

  <Description><![CDATA[On view for the first time at the Museum, Ernesto Neto's &quot;Navedenga,&quot; is an important early example from an ongoing body of work. Since the late 1990s, Neto has been creating enveloping sculptural environments using translucent stretch fabric. &quot;Navedenga&quot; is a large-scale sculpture constructed from Lycra fabric, Styrofoam, and sand, and embedded with aromatic cloves. With its soft, sensuous surface, round, taut contours, and orbed appendages, &quot;Navedenga&quot; references and evokes the human body. Its material is pliant and responsive to touch, like human skin. Visitors are invited to enter the sculpture's hollow chamber and engage their visual, tactile, and olfactory senses. The form and the title of &quot;Navedenga&quot;—a neologism created by the artist that recalls the Portuguese word nave, or &quot;ship&quot;—suggest both a fantastical spacecraft and a protective womb. The work is part of a series of &quot;naves&quot; by Neto, which allude to journeys both intimate and expansive, feminine and masculine; they encompass a profusion of symbiotic oppositions. With this series, a major change took place within Neto's oeuvre. While his earlier work fits comfortably within the conventional boundaries of sculpture, these larger, quasi-architectural bodies meld ideas of sculpture and environment. Neto cites Brazilian artists of a generation preceding his, such as Lygia Clark and Helio Oiticica, as influences on his interest in reframing the role of the viewer.  Viewers of Neto's works are not passive spectators; rather, they are active participants in the work of art, and factors upon which the work's meaning rests.

  <Description><![CDATA[Obsession, repetition, transcendence and a reliance on materials often taken for granted feature prominently in these artists' work. 
 
Elizabeth Duffy creates installations and collages with often overlooked materials: notebook reinforcement labels, security envelopes, and paper maps. In her words, she chooses materials that &quot;have a poignancy for their inevitable obsolescence.&quot; Her work has a quiet, almost book-like presence.

In graphite on paper, Inger Grytting draws layers of fine lines, which form densely constructed patterns. She describes her work as visual diary entries of psychological states.
 
Anne Mourier Attal, a photographer and mixed media artist, is exhibiting a series of photographic diptychs called &quot;The Little Signs,&quot; which look like paintings made with light. In this series, Attal uses light to connect with the universe, capturing the &quot;signs that light creates when it plays and interacts with nature or man-made objects.&quot; Her resulting photographs are soft, atmospheric, and abstract.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[October 16, 2009 marks the 150th anniversary of John Brown's doomed raid on the federal arsenal at Harpers Ferry, Virginia in 1859.  Brown, an ardent abolitionist who believed in racial equality, embraced violence as a means to end slavery. Executed in 1859, he has been both vilified as a murderer and celebrated as a martyr. This exhibition of rare materials from the Gilder Lehrman Collection and N-YHS explores Brown's beliefs and activities at a critical juncture in American history and invites us to ponder the struggle for civil rights down to the present.

  <Description><![CDATA[The renovation of the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Dijon provides an opportunity for the unprecedented loan of the alabaster mourner figures from the tomb of John the Fearless, Duke of Burgundy, and his wife, Margaret of Bavaria. Each of the statuettes is approximately sixteen inches high. They were carved by Jean de La Huerta and Antoine Le Moiturier between 1443–1456 for the ducal tomb originally in the church of Champmol, and they follow the precedent of the mourner figures carved by Claus Sluter and colleagues for the tomb of Duke Philip the Bold (1342–1404). The tombs are celebrated as among the most sumptuous and innovative of the late Middle Ages. The primary innovation was the space given to the figures of the grieving mourners on the base of the tomb, who seem to pass through the real arcades of a cloister.
The installation at the Metropolitan will be supplemented by related works from the Museum’s collection, including the monumental Enthroned Virgin from the convent at Poligny (established by John the Fearless and Margaret of Bavaria) that was carved by Claus de Werve.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Chris Peters will soon be unveiling his first ever solo exhibition in New York City with 10 brand new, never before seen paintings on display. Chris Peters' paintings try to find the beauty in that uneasy twilight place between life and death, between reality and unreality, between hope and despair. The objects in the paintings draw from the classic symbolism of Vanitas still life and Catholic religious paintings; all refer to the cycle of life, death and the promise of resurrection.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Zürcher Studio presents a solo exhibition in which Brian Belott will take an enormous risk and look truth in the eye like never before. Confronted with a world of unfathomable absurdity, Belott the performer adopts the only defense available, namely that of art as the ultimate rampart. In highly rigorous fashion, Belott will construct his largest “Wild Time Machine” to date. Elusive in its form, unexpected in its limits, and incomprehensible at first sight, it will be a wall of incredible density, incorporating a life-long collection of dazzling detritus. The resulting work is seemingly insurmountable, with meanders as complex as those of a labyrinth. It contains images of all sorts: pictures cut out of children’s books and old science textbooks, found photos and paper painted by the artist himself. In various places sound has been added—talking, music and ambient noises collected from found cassette tapes and recordios and some sampled off of YouTube. These sound samples become clear at close range, and one’s movement through the space is like a collage to the ears in itself. The paradox is that although the overall effect is unquestionably monumental (if only in terms of its dimensions), it follows a principle of discretion that denotes privacy, like a Renaissance &quot;cabinet of curiosities,&quot; and an affirmation that this enormous collage is above all else, autobiographical in nature.

And there is a crucial element that emphasizes this point: here and there are glass paintings as well as mixed medium books displayed on top of shelves that project out from the wall. These are not books to be read, but fetishistic objects to be compulsively grasped for the esthetic pleasure they procure, which is actually less innocent than it looks. The wall itself employs various illustrators and artists and the accidental and intended snapshots from amateur photographers to catalog elements—arrows, clouds, planes, planets—exemplifying the infinite perspectives that shade our seen world. Like in some “cult” work he admires such as the unfinished Charles Ives’ Universe Symphony, the past is represented by the genesis of oceans and mountains, the present is represented by the earth, the evolution of nature, and humanity, and the future is represented by the sky as a symbol of the spiritual. Through collaged views of these symbolic elements, the piece represents questions of “What” and “How” that people ask about life, and to which Belott provides his own echo.

There is no mistake why Belott cites Ives as a major influence, as the composer was intensely involved with collage himself, sampling music as diverse as Beethoven, religious hymns and popular song in the same composition. In the second movement of the Ives’ Concord Sonata(1) the pianist uses a piece of wood that is 14 inches long to play a &quot;cluster chord&quot; comprised of a sequence of black and white keys sustained throughout the movement. In the mid to late ‘90s, Belott and frequent collaborator Larissa Velez choreographed three dance pieces to Ives’ music, and more recently, at the Swiss Institute’s Dark Fair in 2008, Brian and Larissa composed a vocal piece by collaging jingles, melodies, sound bytes, hums, and murmurs for a “Wordless Chorus” of about 30 people. Like Ives, Belott’s work feels so uninhibited that it could veer on rebellious, but his predilection for formalism and the sensual and painterly handling of materials, counterbalances an obsession with the new and the unknown.

Another artist with similarities as striking as they are inexplicable, and with multiple resonances that extend beyond the limits of time, is Man Ray. Belott’s collage In the Eye (2008), in which the creation of &quot;reserves&quot; is essential, could be likened to Man Ray’s photograph Lee Miller’s Eye (1932, Penrose Collection), on the back of which he wrote, &quot;I am always in reserve&quot; (October 11, 1932). Both artists use unconventional materials that leave audiences guessing where the artwork stops. In his photograph Man (1920) (2), Man Ray has an ephemeral assemblage in the form of a skeleton whose vertebrae are represented by a line of wooden clothes pegs –an accessory Belott has used a number of times. The Dadaist Man Ray, the pioneer of the &quot;rayogram&quot;(3) was also one of the first American artists who ever took radical positions within the art world. The same spirit can be found in Belott’s performance Head on Fire, Ring the Alarm, in which he set fire to his hair in front of a camera. This was not just play-acting, like a sketch by the Marx Brothers(4), but was intended to depict, as Man Ray had done, art as an act of pure freedom that would neither comply with conventions nor accept any suggestion of a need to be socially useful.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[As a prelude, counterpoint, and coda to the Biennial, the Museum’s fifth floor is devoted to artists in the Whitney’s collection whose works were shown in Biennials over the past eight decades. Collecting Biennials, opening on January 16, is installed as a kind of historical survey within the Biennial, underscoring the importance of previous Biennial exhibitions in the Museum’s history and the formation of its collection. Work by one of the artists in 2010, George Condo, is included in the mix. Collecting Biennials begins nearly six weeks before the rest of the Biennial and remains on view until November 2010.

  <Description><![CDATA[The fifth solo show at Anton Kern Gallery of German artist John Bock includes a two-channel video projection, a squid-powered metal sculpture with video, a group of hanging soft sculptures, and a lecturedance-performance on the opening night (March 1), that allows the viewer a unique chance to witness the transformation of words, actions and everyday materials into distinct sculpture. 

This body of work speaks a new rigorous formal language and shows the artist expanding forms and using new materials. Displayed in the back gallery, “PARA – SCHIZO, ensnarled,” entirely filmed and produced in Korea, is the first double projection in Bockʼs large film and video oeuvre. Seemingly entangled in a love story, the two protagonists are on distinct but parallel paths, converging, clashing, imitating and in the end destroying each other in a cycle of mutual interplay and action. The film is a sequence of situational frames of emotional and formal symmetry in which images and words are intricately composed between the two channels. The script follows a series of word-collages—recomposed classical, modern, and imagined references—forming a language experiment in which the actors become empathetic participants, intuitively responding to Bockʼs text and built environment, where seemingly makeshift objects play a central and active role.

  <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[Taking its primary appearance as a magazine, Megawords has also expanded beyond the page to include a weekly internet radio show, events and performances, and a temporary storefront project space. This exhibition will offer an introduction to the entire Megawords project, including displays of all past issues, photos and work by Megawords and Megawords contributors, and other Megawords-related ephemera and inspiration. Megawords started showing up in the mail here at Printed Matter in 2005 and our staff was simultaneously intrigued and mystified. Here was a thoughtfully produced and visually engaging artists' publication that we would have been happy to add to inventory, but we discovered it was not for sale. We started looking forward to Megawords' sporadic appearance—both for ourselves and for our storefront's free cart. Started by Dan Murphy and Anthony Smyrski, Megawords has published twelve issues that have taken on varying formats from saturated color newsprint to stapled black-and-white pages to perfect bound offset printing: all given away for free. Representing the diverse interests of its many contributors, the pages of Megawords have contained subject matter ranging from images of urban landscapes and photograph's of Hurricane Katrina's aftermath to artist interviews and a facsimile vintage Stone Roses fanzine. Megawords' publishing projects an impressive generosity both in its distribution as well as its advertising-free and straight-forward editorial appearance.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[In 1968, Donald Judd purchased 101 Spring Street, a 5-storey cast iron building, which today remains the only single-use cast iron building in SoHo. The premises was a home for Judd and his young family, provided a studio for him to work in, and also provided a forum for him to begin his process of installing his work and the work of others in a permanent fashion.

In the Summer of 2010 the house will close for 3 years for a major restoration, and in commemoration of this NicholasRobinson Gallery and Maurice Tuchman will curate an exhibition of artworks by those artists whose works formed the permanent installation at the time of the artist’s death in 1994. Including examples by Hans Arp, Larry Bell, John Chamberlain, Marcel Duchamp, Dan Flavin, Donald Judd, David Novros, Claes Oldenburg, Ad Reinhardt, Lucas Samaras, Kurt Schwitters and Frank Stella, and archival material from the Judd Foundation the exhibition seeks to celebrate the house as both a home and a vital meeting place and conduit in the lives and works of these seminal artists.

  <Description><![CDATA[It can be argued that any work of art, from modest scale to gargantuan sprawl, is employed by the action and participation of the viewer. But perhaps more than any other discipline, sculpture arrests the viewers full attention. Through mere perception, sculpture can quickly affect our experiences, challenging the boundaries that we often place on the intention of an artwork. By creating a new world with new borders and conditions, each sculpture in this group exhibition embraces both the viewer and the object, using the relationship between the two to recreate the definitions of reality, invention, and representation.

With porcelain, maps, zip ties, wood, latex, and various other materials, these six artists construct nuanced universes that give us sneak peaks into post apocalyptic futures, offer new lenses and body armor to help us view scenes from imagined narratives, and visually translate information as familiar as a map and as individual as our belief in God. The new world that is created in the gallery is contextual: the information delivered not only piece by piece, but viewer by viewer. Each experience will be a co-production between the artwork and the viewer and together they will unlock both aesthetic importance and visual functionality.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Woodward Gallery presents an exhibition of recent paintings by Natalie Edgar. She demonstrates the continuing vitality of the New York School of painting. The sensibilities of color, space and rhythm are her métier. About the current exhibition, Judd Tully observes in his catalog essay that the painting as a whole is a fusion of many sources, “There’s no correct way to read a painting. No matter how long you look, either abstract or figurative. You can imagine or believe you see a head emerging from that tangle of explosive marks, a veiled reference to a Picasso head or perhaps a Pisano apostle, or a summit of a mountain.” Space is the hidden black matter in the imagery. Gerard McCarthy had noticed, “Her images may or may not suggest figures, but effectively evoke a vertiginous sensation.” (Art in America) It is this odd feeling of altitude in her space that prompted the title “From Above” for the exhibition.

  <Description><![CDATA[Aperture Foundation, a non-profit arts institution dedicated to promoting photography in all its forms, and Instituto Cervantes, a non-profit organization that contributes to the cultural advancement of Spanish-speaking countries, have partnered to celebrate and interpret the art of flamenco through photography in two concurrent exhibitions.

Whether as social phenomenon or musical expression, flamenco has been of enduring interest and inspiration to photographers from the mid-nineteenth century to the present. While some photographers from outside of Spain went in search of it or encountered it by chance, to others flamenco and its practitioners are an essential, if not innate, aspect of their cultural heritage and their photographic work. This artistic form—also considered a way of life or being—has generated fascination in cultured urban circles, remaining one of the most secret, mysterious, and seductive manifestations of twentieth-century European popular art. Marginalized and ostracized, the world of flamenco took root in an economically backward region of southern Europe, culturally peripheral and marked by a history of authoritarianism and local despotisms. This exhibition of more than one hundred and fifty years of images, frequently taken by foreigners rather than Spaniards, is an extensive survey of how photographers of different eras have approached the universe of flamenco, whether documenting the dance itself, gestures that recall it, or the culture that is developed around it.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Patrick Faigenbaum first received critical notice in the mid-1980s for his portraits of Italian aristocratic families. In black and white prints rendered in a smoky chiaroscuro, he shot his subjects posing stiffly in their palatial residences. Isolated against the backdrop of luxuriously appointed interiors, Faigenbaum's sitters silently articulated the tensions found in contemporary lives bound to an inheritance from a bygone era. The artist has since broadened his purview from straight portraiture to documentary projects that capture the lives and histories of a growing list of towns and neighborhoods. 
Inspired by pioneers of the medium, such as Paul Strand, Bill Brandt, and W. Eugene Smith, Faigenbaum has turned to a wider range of genres, all while maintaining the portraitist's attention to the specificity of individual identities. His scenes of everyday life are rooted in the details of lived experience,

  <Description><![CDATA[The eight non-representational paintings that make up this show were done over the last three years. They represent an obvious progression from Helen Miranda Wilson's previous series, but are considerably more detailed, each panel being covered by a myriad of rectangles which blanket the surface in an unbroken array. Their plurality is reminiscent of the multiplicity which meets the eye whenever we are in nature, surrounded by its uncountable repetitions. Many years of painting landscape from life, as well as the artist's early exposure to the art of the Bauhaus movement have greatly influenced this most recent work. The profusion of color can also bring to mind the mosaic murals that the artist first saw in Ravenna, in the 1970s, which are made of millions of tiny, shimmering glass tiles.

The paint is applied meditatively, not gesturally or obsessively. Mistakes, when they occur, are allowed and left to be seen. No two colors are alike, and each one is chosen in a casual, unconscious way. Each one represents a journal of many hours, marked in a method that slowed time for the artist as she worked to cover the surface, painting it from top to bottom, one color after another.

Although Wilson no longer uses recognizable subject matter as she did for most if her career, these paintings are done with the same materials and techniques and in the same small format for which she has always been known. The surfaces are matte and yet have a velvety, open quality because the artist uses oil paint with no added medium and applies no final overcoat of varnish. The edges of the unframed panels retain the drips of primer, sanded smooth which are meant to be seen as part of the object. Wilson typically works wet-into-wet, blending the paint softly into itself with fan brushes. She has used this technique to blur the lines between one section of a painting and the next, since the early 1970s.

The artist has lived in Wellfleet, Massachusetts, the town she grew up in, for the last ten years. She keeps honeybees and chickens successfully and serves as a member of the local government. She paints full-time and teaches occasionally.

  <Description><![CDATA[Derek Eller Gallery presents a solo exhibition by Jessica Jackson Hutchins entitled Kitchen Table Allegory. Using materials such as papier-mâché, glitter, paper pulp, hand-made ceramics, photographs both found and taken, fragments of her family’s clothing, and furniture from her home, Hutchins imparts a mythic yet highly personal story. It is a story that touches on universal themes of frailty and compassion, unicorns and angels, the majesty of mountains and the beauty of nature’s minutiae.  At the same time, Hutchins’ story is concerned with existence on a more personal scale: marriage and motherhood, the rituals of daily life, and making art.

These abstract narratives within Hutchins’ work are perhaps best exemplified in the show’s title piece, a large wooden dining table, the surface of which shows the residue of colored inks and the gouged-out tracks of a router.  The table has been pulled apart, and in the center, where a leaf might be placed, is a large ceramic pot.  Before arriving in her studio, this table was a fixture in her home, a focal point for gathering with family.  And before it was disassembled and fitted with the ceramic, it functioned as a surface for making colorful, collaged monoprints, several of which are displayed throughout the gallery.  From well-used domestic furniture to art-making vehicle and finally to work of art itself, the table slips seamlessly from one iteration to the next and back again.

  <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[In 1969, one year before her death at the age of 34, German-born American artist Eva Hesse wrote of her desire “to get to non-art, non-connotive, non-anthropomorphic, non-geometric, non-nothing; everything…It’s not the new, it is what is yet not known, thought, seen, touched; but really what is not and that is.” In her effort to make works that could transcend literal associations, Hesse cultivated mistakes and surprise, precariousness and enigma. The objects she produced, at once humble and enormously charismatic, came to play a central role in the transformation of contemporary art practice.
Hauser &amp; Wirth New York presents an exhibition of such objects: ‘EVA HESSE’ brings together fourteen works, many never before shown publicly in the United States, that previously have been considered improvisational ‘test pieces’ or prototypes for larger sculptures. Of these, eleven are delicate papier caché forms – wisps of assembled paper, tape, cheesecloth and adhesive made between 1966 and 1969 – that are neither round nor rectangular, but indeterminate. Intimate manifestations of the artist’s thought process, they evoke the bodily, suggesting fragments of skull, sheaths of timeworn parchment, tablets awaiting manuscript, curving shadows, the lens of an eyeball. ]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Paula McCartney’s Bird Watching series are exemplary, flawlessly composed photographs of a wide variety of perching birds. The diverse species are perfectly posed in a range of picturesque habitats across the United States, in settings that are pure wilderness. However, a closer inspection reveals stiff wire protrusions, over-dyed faux feathers and splashes of paint for eyes and beaks. In her amalgamation of natural settings with craft store songbirds, she has created a carefully enhanced landscape—a bird watcher’s dream.

The work explores how nature and fabricated elements can combine to create a scene that questions what is natural, and whether being so holds any intrinsic importance.

“In McCartney’s project there are no clear lines between fact and fiction. Like James Casebere or Oliver Boberg’s photographs of constructed models that at first glance appear to be real architectural spaces, she exploits the believability of photography and at the same time invites a mistrust of photographic evidence”.—Karen Irvine, curator, Museum of Contemporary Photography.

“These are gorgeous images, and in that sense, they are worthy of their subjects. She’s not laughing at us by drawing us into her fantasy, rather, she’s playfully reminding us that all photographs indulge in certain fictions...she takes us on a journey that is educative and inspiring”.—Darius Himes, editor, Radius Books.

  <Description><![CDATA[The exhibition presents new multi-panel wall sculptures as well as large-scale works. The artist is calling the larger mound-shaped works “horizon sculptures” and will produce them in Long Island City’s Socrates Sculpture Park just prior to the opening.
Caesar’s medium is his own material – a unique amalgamation of resin, earth and detritus. Much of the internal structure of the sculptures, petrified matter, retains legibility while other bits smolder and disintegrate into micro-storms of frozen perforations. The panel sculptures are layered with raw debris and sloping patterns of muted, secondary-colored resins. Caesar’s sculptures are abstract landscapes and relate as much to painting as to experimental film. Like animated shifts between film cells, the pattern of these panels seems to repeat, but deviates with subtlety. 
For the new horizon sculptures, Caesar will excavate shallow pits, coring and exploring Socrates’ Sculpture Park, formerly an abandoned riverside landfill and illegal dumpsite. The artist will use the park’s reconstituted earth as a specific site to dig holes. Caesar’s plaster-cast sculptures will document the shape of his dig and will be inverted into particle-encrusted relief sculpture for the gallery exhibition.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Andrew Kreps Gallery presents  “                ”, Jamie Isenstein’s second solo exhibition at the gallery.  The show is comprised of three new works, each questioning the traditional divisions between sculpture, performance, and video. Together the individual works create an installation that skewers classic conventions of the gallery: the &quot;sign-in book&quot;, the &quot;abstract sculpture&quot;, and the &quot;installation shot&quot;.
Isenstein is known for blurring the lines between performance and sculpture, often through her use of her own body as a ready-made object. In referencing and appropriating current strains of contemporary abstract sculpture that combine organic forms and found objects, Dancing Pop-up Fishing Sculpture, 2010,acts like a snowball that has picked up what it has rolled over: human body parts, a hobo/clown costume, bird guano, a snake in a can gag. The sculpture is “holding” a life preserver, which reads alternately “Wishing I was Fishing” and “Gone Fishing” and is thus in a perpetual state of limbo- waiting to fish, or waiting for parts of itself to return from fishing.  This gives life to a normally static object as it layers and weaves formal and conceptual concerns of sculpture, performance, abstraction, and representation.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Anti-Prow is a project by Prow – the collaborative duo Peter Rostovsky and Olav Westphalen – that addresses fantasies of empowered authorship and rational control in the creative process. Taking the artist’s manifesto as a starting point, Prow presents a series of hand-drawn portraits, sculptural assemblage, and wallpapered collage that test the boundaries of both self-proclaimed definition and open-ended experimentation, as realized by Anti-Prow’s contrasting collaborative process. Anti-Prow investigates the contradictions, doubts and folly that accompany any moment of artistic proclamation (or collective action), but that are almost always repressed in the stultifying performance of seriousness that constitutes a finished and professional artistic practice.

Running concurrently with Anti-Prow is The Prequel, on view at Sara Meltzer Gallery January 22 -February 27, 2010. The Prequel is the first solo exhibition of PROW in a commercial setting, and Anti-Prow was developed for Art in General specifically to counter the Sara Meltzer Gallery presentation, a context in which PROW is operating according to the objective of a commercial enterprise. PROW proposes that contemporary art practice has become a province of the entertainment industry and so is structured like an independent movie studio, collectively producing various types of spectacle but without hierarchy.

  <Description><![CDATA[While well-known throughout his lifetime as an accomplished photographer, Sommer also maintained a lifelong passion for drawing, painting, collage, poetry and prose. This exhibition, comprised exclusively from works held by the Frederick &amp; Frances Sommer Foundation, is the first attempt to represent the complete artistic works of Sommer in over 50 years, and is organized to expand upon the knowledge and understanding of a truly complex and prolific artist. With artworks selected by Naomi Lyons, Sommer’s assistant from 1985 to 1999 and a trustee of the Foundation, Circumnavigation presents an exploration of the interrelationships between the various media utilized by Sommer, while also bringing to light the evolution of themes, structure, and line developed over time.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[“Double-Bill” is a group exhibition curated by New Commissions artist Redmond Entwistle that includes his new film Monuments along with works by Mary Billyou, Suzanne Goldenberg, Rafael Sánchez, and Kathleen White.

Starting with Monuments, a retelling of Post-Minimalism’s relationship to the landscapes of New York and New Jersey, “Double-Bill” brings together a series of works that share B-cinema’s ethics of independent production and it’s achievement of magical and critical effects through minimal means. Echoing the format of self-organized cinema spaces, a temporary cinema will be assembled in the gallery featuring twice-daily screenings of Monuments. Beyond the removed fourth wall of the cinema space, Billyou’s text paintings, Goldenberg’s delicate paper-and-fabric constructions and drawings, and Sánchez and White’s long-running, situational project BOOKS RECORDS TAPES reflect and refract concerns raised by Monuments’ exploration of the legacies of Robert Smithson, Gordon Matta-Clark, and Dan Graham. In considering the uneasy relationship between artists’ intentions – both aesthetic and conceptual – and social realities, “Double Bill” complicates traditional conceptions of artistic communities, their milieus and the social context out of which they emerge.

Monuments will be screened daily at 1 and 4:30 pm.

  <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[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[The art of the auction is center to Jankowski's installation, &quot;Strip the Auctioneer.&quot; The gallery space, set in auction-house colors, contains sculpture, photographs and a video connected to a live auction that was orchestrated by Jankowski in May of 2009. The action takes place at Christie's auction house in Amsterdam and incorporates the auctioneer, Amo Verkade, as the desired possession. Verkade bids his garment piece by piece down to his hammer. He strips himself of his suit, baring and transforming those parcels of clothing into objects of desire. Jankowski's auction-house burlesque seduces the public at first sight with sharp humor while at the same time questions the relationship between the economic and the symbolic value of art. It emphasizes the ambiguity of where exactly meaning and value resides. The distinction between fiction and reality highlights the inherent theatrical mechanics of the sales process, creating a live parody of the auction and its players. &quot;Strip the Auctioneer&quot; was part of &quot;Take the Money and Run,&quot; a project that combined an exhibition at de Appel arts centre with an auction at Christie's Amsterdam (May 2009).

  <Description><![CDATA[David Zwirner presents The Bible Illuminated: R. Crumb’s Book of Genesis, the artist’s second solo exhibition at the gallery. 
 
These drawings – 207 extraordinary individual works of pen and ink on paper – were produced for his now landmark The Book of Genesis Illustrated by R. Crumb (W.W. Norton), published in October 2009. Five years in the making and released to instant critical acclaim, the eagerly awaited book topped many bestseller lists, including #1 on the New York Times: Graphic Books list. 
From Creation to the death of Joseph, Crumb chronicles all fifty chapters of Genesis in an astonishing tapestry of masterly detail and storytelling, rendered frame by frame in meticulous comic book fashion. With a literal interpretation primarily assembled from translations of Robert Alter and the King James Bible, Crumb reintroduces us to the bountiful tree lined garden of Adam and Eve, the massive ark of Noah with beasts of every kind, the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah destroyed by brimstone and fire that rained from the heavens, and the Egypt of the Pharaoh, where Joseph’s embalmed body is carried in a coffin, in a scene as elegiac as any in Genesis. Using clues from the text and peeling away the theological and scholarly versions that have often obscured the Bible’s most dramatic stories, Crumb fleshes out a parade of Biblical originals: from the serpent in Eden, as a humanoid reptile; to Abraham’s wife Sarah, more fetching than most woman at 90; to God himself, patriarchal and white-bearded. 
 
Robert Crumb (born 1943, Philadelphia) began drawing comics as a young boy.  In the late 1960s he emerged as the leading figure in the underground comic movement. Since then, his influence has been immeasurable, from the first issue of Zap Comix in 1968; to his most recognized comic, Keep on Truckin’, which became a widely distributed fixture of pop culture in the late 1970s; from the adventures of his notorious characters Devil Girl, Fritz the Cat, and Mr. Natural; to being the subject of Terry Zwigoff’s 1995 documentary, Crumb. ]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Through the medium of graphite powder, George Hrycun's drawings depict three dimensional shadows; a sustained record of objects that are no longer present.  The objects creating the shadow have been removed. What remains is the shadow alone, a visual forum for the discrepancy between perception and comprehension.

Mike Baur uses industrial materials to make artifacts that have all the physical presence of forms shaped by natural forces.   His sculpture inhabits a world beyond formalistic concerns where the most common materials transcend their origins.   This is a selection of recent sculpture by a mature artist who fully understands the unique power of the three-dimensional object.

Subdued, textured cityscapes are Spanish artist Alejandro Quincoces' subjects for his masterworks of understatement. Atmospheric and melancholy, the astuteness of the observation is intensified by a roughshod, frenetic surface texture that obliterates any sense of polish and leads the viewer deeply into the agonized beauty of the urban universe. The execution of the paintings transcends any attempt to name or identify the specific locales depicted, and they are instead realized as prototypical, iconic megalopolitan vistas.

Steve Gross and Susan Daley's series of black and white silver gelatin photographs are the result of a twenty year long exploration of the vernacular architecture and landscape in a remote county in upstate NY. The images are a narrative of a disappearing yet stoic way of life as shown in the timeworn, often abandoned buildings that are slowly dissolving back into the land.  The images transcend one particular place and time and speak of collective memories and mysteries.

Cara Wood Ginder's paintings appear as small blackboards with miniature &quot;chalk&quot; drawings in the corners.  In the center, Wood-Ginder paints a tightly realistic object from her everyday life, which when surrounded by drawings that apparently have no relation to the painting, create another dimension for the viewer.

  <Description><![CDATA[This exhibition marks a new direction for Riboli. While earlier works used a combination of puppetry and animation to present minimalist objects as quasi-sentient beings moving of their own volition, Riboli's new works consider the uncanny physicality of the human form. Her three videos and related photographs explore the relationship between the body and geometry, enlisting actors to engage with the kinds of minimal shapes (a hoop, a ball, a triangle) that earlier works examined in isolation.  Here, the body is presented as a site of abstraction. 
 
In Rolls, Tosses, Rotations (ball), 2009 and Rolls, Passages, Rotations, Walkovers (hoop), 2009, Riboli places her once-animated objects into real-time relationships with the bodies that manipulate them. Using a pearlescent ball and hoop respectively, a lone figure, dressed in a simple grey leotard, interacts with these objects in a series of gymnastic movements that dialectically demarcate the figure’s form, and the contours of the object itself. 
 
A third video focuses expressly on the site of interaction between the body and the object it manipulates. Shot with a camera at 120 frames per second and played back in slow motion, the object and hand perform quotidian movements to form a kind of minimalist choreography. 
 
The photographic works crystallize these relationships, highlighting the abstract possibilities of both figure and object.  Using a painted hand as a stand in for the human form, and nodding to Yvonne Rainer’s Hand Movie from 1966, Riboli records a series of minute gestures, creating a visual synecdoche of body and appendage. ]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[The exhibition investigates how local artists from a variety of backgrounds are placed in relation to the rest of the world. Seen through a global lens, this exhibition explores the multiple cultures that populate our general culture and how the local and national are inextricably linked to the global. This exhibition examines the tensions of uncontrollable forces that are dislocating our society to redefine a new civilization. The artworks reflect how the national contains global concerns, searching inside our culture to project our global position. This exhibition tells the story of those concerns and new ways in which we can order the chaos.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[This presentation of 31 vintage prints by the celebrated French photographer Eugène Atget (1857–1927) is drawn from the ICP permanent collection. Surrealists such as Man Ray were fascinated by Atget's images of dreamlike urban spaces. As this exhibition reveals, such photographs were part of a much larger body of work that reflected Atget's systematic documentation of the historic streets, buildings, and artifacts of Old Paris. This exhibition was organized by ICP Curator Christopher Phillips.

  <Description><![CDATA[There is something soothing about Plains and Patterns. Perhaps it is the unpretentiousness of the work. There is little energy spent on representation.The interaction with the work might be purely sensual. But Marcie's work deals with short term memory, brain disorders and the recording and experiencing of every single moment. Jaclyn is dealing with the fragility of the urban environment in competition with natural forces. Tina's work is inspired by the infinite and Pascal. Andrea's work is inspired by very real places and experiences in Italy and Barcelona. It is quite enjoyable to walk through this exhibition and bathe in the patterns and colors. But there is a depth to this work that demands that the viewer look further, to engage each of the works and begin a dialogue with the artists. To share their experience.

  <Description><![CDATA[&quot;Reconstruction #1&quot; is a mnemonic exhibition and consideration of On Stellar Rays programming to date. One new work by each artist who has presented a solo exhibition in the gallery will be on view. &quot;Reconstruction #1&quot; is not curated, rather, works on view simply represent the trajectories that each artist has followed since his or her exhibition. Though processes, media, and content vary widely, all artists are working in indeterminate modes, remaking, reiterating and exploiting works that were shown at On Stellar Rays in the past year-and-a-half, with displays of commitment to their respective investigations. The exhibition contains traces of actions that took place in the gallery, suggesting a shared interest in performative gestures and engagement with the viewer. The exhibition is fundamentally introspective, exploring how a small number of people, objects, and activities influence the nebulous and open-ended history of a gallery.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[In the basement of an apartment building in Manhattan, Scott Zieher discovered a pile of photographs among the discarded effects of a recently deceased tenant. Exhibited for the first time at ZieherSmith and presented in a new publication of the same name from powerHouse Books, these photographs from circa 1972 offer an intimate portrait of a group of gay bikers in the city and the woods, and a touching snapshot of a historical subculture at its carefree zenith.

The photographs bring into focus a brief, specific period of relative innocence, when middle-of-the-road Americans more often than not failed to perceive the homoerotic undertones of their most heterosexual of institutions. With conceptual light cast by issues ranging from anonymity in homosexuality and underground motorcycle chic to vernacular photography’s pop-culture ramifications, a warm and generous spirit of camaraderie pervades this subterranean survey. Like a real-world set for Scorpio Rising casually captured by an unpretentious extra, this found cache of old-school, leather party snapshots attains archeological significance.]]></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[Biddy is a young artist with an inspiring and clear vision. He is working to chase the psychological dramas and conceited behaviors of adolescents. The girls he portrays are often in bloom, teetering between innocence and self-awareness. Biddy’s approach to representation is unique in that he allows the models to depict themselves.
He obtains his imagery from Facebook or MySpace photographs which mostly have been taken with a cell phone. He states, “Rather than photographing my models myself, I leave the responsibility of how they will represent themselves to them. This allows the model’s own personalities to come through and gives the viewer a chance to either see a silly child-like moment or one of vanity.” This work confronts ideas of identity and gender roles in adolescent girls on the verge of becoming women while also challenging both formalist and conceptual traditions.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[In the Shadow of Everest presents photographer Tom Wool's images of life in the villages of Tibet's Rongbuk Valley. Taken over the course of four weeks in May 2001, Wool's photographs capture the Valley's rugged terrain, which stretches roughly thirty miles from the base of Mount Everest on the north side. Home to some 3,000 Tibetans, the Rongbuk Valley area is of distinct importance to the indigenous population for its sacred geography and religious history. Believed to be the place where earth touches the heav ens, Mount Everest is called &quot;Chomolungma&quot; in Tibetan, meaning &quot;Mother Goddess of the Earth.&quot; The valley is also home to the Rongbuk Monastery, the highest of any in the world at 17,000 feet above sea level.]]></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[Jaehyo Lee works in natural materials and steel, as his primary media. He fastidiously works his media. Rather than dismantling each sculptural component and creating a hybrid aesthetic, Lee's works emphasize his materials' most essential natures and inherently complex textures. When working with predominately unadulterated wood, the artist's hand is most overtly seen through the sculpture's form, often smooth geometric shapes such as the wooden spheres and conical pillars. When working in charred wood and nails, however, the sculpture's forms become the more organic element of the work, when contrasted against the high drama of velvety black burnt wood and highly polished burnished steel.

  <Description><![CDATA[Jointly organized by New York University’s Grey Art Gallery and Fales Library, NYU’s repository of rare books and manuscripts, Downtown Pix: Mining the Fales Archives, 1961–1991 features over 300 photographs and other printed materials from Fales’s pioneering Downtown Collection. The exhibition is drawn from the papers of artists, writers, poets, and arts organizations that comprise this important archive. The images presented in Downtown Pix create a rich photo-graphic portrait of the creative practices and social protests that defined the Downtown scene as it evolved over the course of three tumultuous decades.

For successive generations of New York artists, “Downtown” has signaled a state of mind as much as a geographic location. The artists, playwrights, choreographers, and political activists who called Downtown home built a lively community that fostered aesthetic experimentation and countercultural rebellion. Downtown Pix focuses on the central role played by photographers in capturing the vital but ephemeral practices of a diverse range of artists. Following in the footsteps of the Grey’s landmark 2006 Downtown Show, Downtown Pix maps a multifaceted cultural scene whose influence on the arts is still felt today.

As critic and guest curator Philip Gefter observes, “The photographs in Downtown Pix register not so much as moments frozen in time as paused frames from a live-action film. This is due, in part, to the kinetic energy of the period—the live performances in loft spaces that encouraged audience participation, the scene’s irreverence and experimentation, as well as a sexual charge that served as a live wire of social behavior—at least until the arrival of AIDS. Downtown Pix provides a photographic chronicle of the period when formal conventions were abandoned with a kind of nose-thumbing glee. And, for a period of time, photography itself became more authentic, more animated, and more fun.”

The exhibition includes work by renowned artists such as David Wojnarowicz, Nan Goldin, Jimmy DeSana, and Andy Warhol. Three photographs by Robert Mapplethorpe, recently acquired as joint gifts to the Grey Art Gallery and Fales Library, will also be on display. Equally important to Downtown Pix are the works by photojournalists who reflected the scene as it developed. Fred W. McDarrah’s images of Greenwich Village’s Gay Pride Parade for the Village Voice document the annual event’s evolution. Robert Alexander’s iconic images of dancers, commissioned by the Soho Weekly News, appear alongside examples from his fine-art practice. Snapshots found among artists’ personal papers point to photography’s role in documenting private obsessions and capturing everyday beauty. Poet David Trinidad is represented by more than 40 color photos of miniature tableaux he made featuring his extensive collection of Barbie dolls and accessories. Martin Wong’s images of derelict cityscapes, made as source material for his paintings, offer a glimpse into the artist’s creative process. Whether records of performances, portraits of friends and lovers, or one-off experiments, the photographs in Downtown Pix blur the distinctions between fine-art photography, photojournalism, and amateur snapshots.

Downtown Pix focuses on the intergenerational dialogues and cross-disciplinary resonances that emerge from the archives’ sprawling logic. Photographs of Richard Hell’s concerts at CBGB, Richard Foreman’s experimental plays with the Ontological-Hysteric Theater company, Mabou Mines’s multimedia performances, the happenings at Judson Church, including Carolee Schneemann’s Meat Joy performance, and the installations at Creative Time’s Art on the Beach seriesmark explosive intersections of punk rock, art, dance, and drama. Lynn Gumpert, director of the Grey Art Gallery notes: “The photographs not only document seminal cultural practices, but also survey the vast ecology of artistic subcultures that flourished Downtown.”

Since 1994, when director Marvin J. Taylor founded Fales Library’s Downtown Collection, it has grown substantially to include over 12,000 printed items and 10,000 linear feet of archives. Taking a broad, inclusive approach, the Downtown Collection aims to document the entire scene rather than highlighting individual artists or groups. Among the invaluable materials Fales has acquired, and which are highlighted in Downtown Pix,are the archives of Fashion Moda and the papers of Andrea Callard, co-founder of the artists’ collective Colab. “To truly understand the climate in which key Downtown works were made,” Taylor writes, “requires an archive documenting the culture. All media are included: paper, film, video, and approximately 5,000 photographs from which the images in Downtown Pix were selected.”

The breadth of Fales’s Downtown Collection thus allows for individual artists, writers, and performers as well as collective groups to be situated within broader cultural and social contexts. Each photograph bears the indelible trace of its moment: from the pervasive sense of possibility of the 1960s, through the years of urban decay of the ’70s, and to the galvanized identity politics of the ’80s. The bohemian posturing evident in so many images celebrates a sense of personal freedom that was, for each generation, undoubtedly hard-won. The shared triumphs and inevitable failures documented in Downtown Pix continue to shape the memory of a scene that, through its many permutations, thrived on an ethics of experimentation, and a commitment to radical forms of urban life.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[If collage, the major innovation of early 20th century art that led to everything we now classify as “mixed media,” was born when Picasso and Braque revolutionized still life painting by pasting pieces of real newspaper into their Cubist compositions, the actual object as an autonomous entity in art truly came into its own with the advent of Dada and Marcel Duchamp’s “readymades.”

Arman was born in France but spent the longest and most productive period of his career in New York City, where he became best known for letting paint tubes speak wittily for themselves, spewing blobs of brilliant pigment within blocks of clear epoxy. Also on view are Arman’s accumulations of aspirin tubes and welded revolvers, as well as a work in which loose scraps that look like the contents of an overturned wastepaper basket coalesce into a composition with an elegance akin to a Motherwell collage.

César established himself as the most famous French sculptor of recent decades with works ranging from fantastic representations of animals and insects to sculptures made with crushed car parts that are often compared to those of John Chamberlain, another artist Allan Stone showed and collected. The brilliantly colorful, blockily compacted piece by Cesar featured in the exhibition is one of the prime examples of his “compressions.”

Both Arman and César were associated with Nouveau Realisme –– a French movement typically incorporating consumer goods and other three-dimensional objects, whose original meaning becomes muddled when translated into English, because besides being a synonym for Pop, the term New Realism has also been confusingly applied to various kinds of contemporary figurative painting.

In any case, it can be tempting to draw a line of demarcation between the European and American artists in the exhibition by pointing out that the formers’ use of mass-manufactured products is often more naked and blatant than the more poetic works by American artists.
ditto
Certainly Maureen McCabe’s accumulations of colorful feathers in bell jars are as evocative for the sense of wistfulness that they convey. The same for Barry Cohen’s metal egg crate with real eggs, straw, and miniature wooden hens arranged as in a surreal candy sampler that might at any moment hatch amid a cacophony of chirping.

Equally evocative, one of Dan Basen’s assemblages brings to mind a city skyline with vertical stacks of colored chalk, while another, “Concentration Camp,” makes the holes in an aggregation of buttons massed behind a wire grid suddenly appear as haunting as a crowd of hollow eyes and beseeching mouths. The argument can be made that Basen’s compartmentalized conglomeration of loose paint tubes, lined up like products on the shelves of an art supply store is a prime example of Nouveau Realisme.

By contrast, Linda Cross’ rocky terrains rubbled with rusty tin cans, tires, and other debris are tours de force of tactile trompe-l’oeil, flawlessly fabricated in paper and acrylic, making their accumulative aspect more virtual than actual. Yet what unites them with the rest of the work in the show is that they are chockablock with sociopolitical implications vis-à-vis the disposable culture of consumer glut, industrial waste products, and what Cross, specifically, refers to as “the encroachment of civilization” on a natural setting.

Just as germane as the aesthetic ecology that some of these artists practice simply by recycling everyday detritus through creative vision –– as well as the questions they raise concerning our compulsion to collect, classify, and create taxonomies –– is the sheer sense of wonder the viewer experiences upon encountering Bill Will’s “$100,” a block of clustered pennies suggesting the cut-rate cousin of a gold bar from Fort Knox; Philip Sultz’s “books” of weathered tree bark and paper treated with subtly faded and chipped watercolor; Rosamond Berg’s many tiny white or beige bags of “Spring Air Dust” or “Sea Flight Dust”; Krista Van Ness’ mound of cicada shells piled up behind glass; Wayne Nowak’s Victorian birdcage housing a fanciful assortment of alphabet blocks, drumsticks, cosmetics bottles, and other incongruous things; and Kathryn Spence’s surprisingly convincing little birds fashioned from unadorned wads of crumpled trash and string, positioned on a long pedestal in the winningly derelict manner of sparrows and pigeons meandering aimlessly over a city sidewalk.

Also included are mysterious and powerful wire and junk sculptures by a presumably deceased outsider artist known only as Philadelphia Wire Man, as well as selected memory vessels.

  <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[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[Based in Paris, Pezeu works in a similar manner to the action painters of the 1940s, tracing charcoal outlines of models enacting various scenes before drizzling paint over the canvas to further delineate the silhouettes. The fluidity and palpable lightness of Pezeu’s canvases convey a sense of intangibility, yet they give transient, fleeting moments of time permanence. The works exhibited in Impressions demonstrate Pezeu’s experimentation with a more vibrant tonal palette, and her increasingly diverse representation of the ephemeral. The show will be accompanied by a performance at gallery nine5. Allowing an audience to observe her creative process, Pezeu will read a fairytale then ask her model to choose a pose that reflects their interpretation of the story.

  <Description><![CDATA[Priska C. Juschka Fine Art presents re: The Mirrored Veil, Jenna Gribbon’s second solo exhibition at the gallery, a collection of meticulously and delicately constructed paintings–engaging the viewer in a revealing dichotomy between the Apollonian ideal and the Dionysian struggle, between the Imaginary and the Real. re: The Mirrored Veil illuminates the moment of the split between the reflected wholeness of the external body–as in Lacan’s Mirror Stage–and the real, internal, fragmented nature of the individual experience.

Jenna Gribbon was born in Knoxville, TN and currently lives and works in Brooklyn, NY. Her work has been the subject of several solo and group exhibitions in the U.S. and abroad, including shows at the Georgia Museum of Contemporary Art in Atlanta, GA; the National Academy Museum &amp; School of Fine Arts in New York, NY; Kunsthalle Emden in Emden, Germany; the Finnish Academy of Fine Arts in Helsinki, Finland; and most recently, at the National Arts Club in New York, NY. She was also commissioned to paint three works for Sofia Coppola’s film, Marie Antoinette, which premiered at the New York Film Festival in 2006.

  <Description><![CDATA[Ink is the medium that is possibly the most associated with the arts of China.  It has been one of the few constant threads in this ever-changing part of the world for thousands of years.  Since China’s first introductions to the styles, techniques and subjects of the outside world, their artists have had at an ever-expanding range of creative options.  From oils and photography, to performance and new media, China’s artists today are among the most diverse and innovative.  However, each contemporary Chinese artist, regardless of their preferred medium, has worked at some time with ink.  Sometimes ink and brush are used in a manner that is more directly linked to the China’s traditional techniques and styles, and sometimes these artists are pushing the boundaries and finding astounding and innovative new ways of working with this medium.  More often, though, Chinese artists are synthesizing the old and the new – mediums, styles, influences, messages – into experimental works that can be both powerful and beautiful.  Ground breaking and nostalgic at the same time.

In this group exhibition, we would like to showcase new ink work from some of today’s top Chinese artists in “Chinese Contemporary Art: Ink Explosion 2010”.  Featured in the show are works that speak of both the beautiful, traditional styles as well as exiting new directions.  

This show also marks new directions for Ethan Cohen Fine Arts.  We will be holding this show in our NEW LOCATION of 14 Jay Street, in Tribeca.  Over the next month, we will be continuing to move our gallery to this new space located just a few doors East of our current location, 18 Jay Street.  ]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[In March 2007, artist Brian Conley brought his research-based and collaborative practice to a project with a group of historical miniature gamers at the Las Vegas Games Expo, whom he asked to play/fight recent battles from the war in Iraq. Working from Conley's instructions, the gamers built a diorama that first represented a town in the Zarga region near Najaf, and later a Baghdad neighborhood. As play unfolded, an onsite Arabic-speaking research team investigated competing versions of the chosen events, culling information from the New York Times and Al Jazeera, militant Islamic websites, US military sources, and communication with Iraqi bloggers. Beginning from historically accurate circumstances and representing several sides in the conflict, their games were not reenactments. Events proceeded not only according to military strategy, but via rolls of the dice. Play thus yielded ahistorical outcomes.]]></Description>

The N-YHS holds one of the oldest and most comprehensive collections of landscape painting by artists of the Hudson River School, the first school of truly American art to garner worldwide recognition and fame. Artists, poets and writers forged the first self-consciously &quot;American&quot; landscape vision and literary voice, grounded in the exploration of the natural world as a source of spiritual renewal and as an expression of national identity, first expressed through the scenery of the Hudson River Valley.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Forum Gallery marks its fiftieth anniversary year by presenting an exhibition of paintings by the artist Gregory Gillespie (1936-2000), whom Forum represented from his first New York exhibition in 1966 until his untimely death, a suicide, in 2000. Gillespie, a unique and visionary artist, was never a part of any movement or school; in his work, he defied characterization. In large and small panel paintings and mixed media works, he constructed elaborately detailed fantasy landscapes, imaginary personal narratives, startling and memorable self-portraits, symbolist abstractions and trompe l’oeil still lifes throughout his career, moving back and forth among these stylistic choices with unpredictable frequency, unerring technique and uncanny brilliance. Forum Gallery’s 2010 exhibition will include paintings from each of the four decades of Gregory Gillespie’s career, acquired from private collections. Many of the works have been in the same collections since their original acquisition.

  <Description><![CDATA[Linear Obscurity features new works by New Delhi-based artist M. Pravat and New York-based artist Heeseop Yoon. The works of both artists possess a decidedly powerful combination of order and disorder. In his newest paintings, Pravat has focused on architectural floorplans obscured by a blend of organic and geometric shapes that simultaneously give depth and body to the seemingly unrealized plans that lie underneath. Yoon's drawings on paper as well as tape and mylar drawing constructions present freehand depictions of basements, workshops, and storage spaces filled with precarious piles of abandoned objects. The pairing of disheveled organizational structures in Pravat's paintings with obsessive but purposeful reiterations of unorganized towers of detritus in Yoon's drawings and installations presents a frenetic sense of balance in the space.

The conceptual impetus of Heeseop Yoon's work is the memory and perception of cluttered space. Yoon unearths these cluttered spaces wherever she goes. After photographing the scenes she begins to recreate the images by hand, be it in ink on paper, tape, or cut shapes of mylar. Throughout this process the artist makes no erasures but merely corrects the lines with additional lines. She says,

&quot;As I correct 'mistakes' the work results in double or multiple lines, which reflect how my perception has changed over time and makes me question my initial perception. Paradoxically, greater concentration and more lines make the drawn objects less clear. The more I see, the less I believe in the accuracy or reality of the images I draw.&quot;

This artistic practice emphasizes the manipulation of memory as well as the often paradoxical consequence of efforts made to clarify a perception ultimately obscuring the representation of a certain memory or idea. Pravat's images can be seen to convey a message of art overcoming order with spilled and overlaying painted forms on top of architectural drawings; this leads one to question if the plans are cluttered with the accoutremal of physical realization or obscured by images of neglect and lost intention. Yoon's images are able to communicate the possibility for detailed artistic representations of the slow accumulation of carelessly strewn personal items in storage. In both cases a memory of intention is obscured by the accumulation of development.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[This exhibition presents Ray Johnson's correspondence art spanning the mid-50s to the late 70s, culled from two private archives. It gives evidence to the chameleon-like identity that Johnson manifested in relation to his correspondent. For Earl and Carol Brown, he was working distinctly in a Surrealist/Dadaist tradition, under the shadow of Ernst and Duchamp; while for Vince Aletti, a member of the The New York Correspondence School, he presented himself as a whimsical pornographic provocateur, amending images back and forth through the post, often seeking out introductions to cultural affiliates. ]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Ray states, “I’m thrilled to celebrate this moment in the growth of our program as we head into spring featuring new artists in the gallery and preparing to exhibit with the upcoming Pulse and Fountain art fairs. As we evolve, our mission remains to discover and present the most important contemporary artwork that explores the concept of psychogeography by re-imagining the relationships between people and places.”

Artists featured in Refresh share a common interest in the boundaries between psychological and physical space. In the title piece of the exhibition, California artist Jim Ringley’s highway scene depicts a car racing away from the viewer. While the image appears to offer the hope of a quick escape into a promising future, the picture plane remains still beneath its effervescent surface. Paloma Crousillat similarly extends the viewer’s focus into a space of imagination with her hard-edged renderings of large-scale telescopes. Born in Lima, Peru and based in Brooklyn, Crousillat’s work is informed by the systems and frameworks of space, language and beliefs.

Gregory Euclide, whose work will be exhibited for the first time at the gallery, is an artist and teacher living in the Twin Cities region of Minnesota. Knowledge gained in childhood of the complexity and interconnectedness of his rural environment grounds his appreciation for contemplative experiences in nature. Euclide’s three-dimensional works break through the flat surface of traditional landscape paintings and include media as diverse as cassette tapes, moss, ribbon and lead.

Pablo Helguera, a New York-based artist working in installation, sculpture, photography, drawing, and performance presents work in collage that questions the cultural, historical and social relationships between reality and fiction. Helguera has exhibited and performed internationally, and notably in New York at the Brooklyn and Bronx Museums of Art, P.S.1 and El Museo del Barrio. Montreal artist Alice Jarry’s multi-layered silkscreen works on paper also hover on the border between landscape and imagination, where motifs and found archival images come together in a richly-textured series of dreamy, portentous compositions.

Matthew Northridge and Jill Sylvia round out the list of artists in Refresh. Both artists are new to the gallery and will present works on paper along with sculptural installations. Northridge, whose work has been exhibited at museums including the New Museum of Contemporary Art, the Brooklyn Museum of Art and the National Academy Museum, presents two new pieces incorporating maps that examine scale, compression and rules governing spatial systems. His work has recently been acquired by the Hirshhorn Museum. San Francisco-based artist Sylvia uses a drafting knife to painstakingly remove the cells of traditional ledger paper, leaving behind a delicate lattice expressing time and the futility of labor. The flat, empty grids turn three-dimensional as the artist re-organizes them into spatial constructions in which the notion of value confronts the void.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Deirdre O'Connell is a self-taught artist whose recent work has drawn from characters and scenes in plays by Russian dramatist Anton Chekhov. An award-winning stage actress, O'Connell has played numerous Chekhov women and finds their motivations and behaviors layered and complex. The paintings are jewel-like, multi media creations made from collages of her own paintings and drawings. Rich, brilliant hues and intense detail give each work the luscious quality of an illuminated manuscript. 

Born in Japan, painter/printmaker Fumiko Toda lives in New York. Her artwork has an obsessive quality composed of intricate detail and repetition of form and pattern. Her paintings of butterflies, snakes and bugs are rendered with colors so vibrant as to appear as if they were ground from pure minerals or from the very insects themselves. Toda attributes her sense of design, space and line to her years in Japanese art schools, which emphasize such skills and craftsmanship. Toda counts as her artistic influences Odilon Redon and Jakuchu Ito.

  <Description><![CDATA[&quot;Gaze&quot; explores photography's ability to capture both the literal and psychological space around a subject caught in a gaze. The photographs on view reveal the complex relationship between photographer and subject, and subsequently subject and viewer. As concessions are made on both sides o the camera, the portraits range from perplexingly distant to intimate and relatable. Each, however, requires the mediation of the viewer to unlock the psychology of the individual behind the gaze or decipher the photographer's intended reading of the portrait.

  <Description><![CDATA[&quot;Into the Unknown&quot; brings together works by artists and filmmakers who reflect upon and make productive use of archival film footage and other material from the past. The works focus on how such stored images are received and interpreted today, not just on the circumstances in which they were once produced. In their hands the archive becomes a journey into unknown territories, but at the same time it is always reconfigured according to today's interests and perspectives. Paradoxically, the constructed past that these artists excavate from the archive radiates a presence rivaling that of the present moment. The works presented in the gallery at Ludlow 38 and during screenings at the Goethe-Institut Wyoming Building open up new pockets of time that allow us to observe the past and the communities that lived in it, at our own leisure. At the same time they set up spaces for future agency. The exhibition encompasses topics such as social uprising, official versions of everyday routines, the disappearance of political systems and the individual’s relationship to society and to collective memory.

  <Description><![CDATA[RARE Gallery presents a series of new paintings and works on paper by Christine Gray, a Richmond, Virginia-based artist, in &quot;Closer and Closer,&quot; her solo debut in New York. Her works focus on the very human impulse to purse revelatory experiences via Nature. In order to conjure these extraordinary moments of communion, Gray crafts make-shift talismanic objects of almost prehistoric intensity and simplicity and then paints them into settings of gorgeous luminosity and otherworldliness. The objects and their settings concentrate humankind's desires and yearnings, transforming them into something transcendent.

The title of the exhibition, &quot;Closer and Closer,&quot; underlines the persistence of Man's search for personal, meaningful interludes with the natural world. However, the very nature of this determination is weighed down with the intent to control or harness occurrences rather than allow them to come about naturally.

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

  <Description><![CDATA[Michael Werner Gallery presents an exhibition of paintings by Swiss artist Félix Vallotton (Lausanne, 1865 – Paris, 1925). The exhibition features portraits of women, primarily nudes, and is the first gallery exhibition in New York devoted to the artist's paintings. 

Félix Vallotton's paintings do not give pleasure easily. In portraiture he is not a flashy virtuoso and his nudes are not &quot;sexy&quot;, at least not in any typical fashion. His paint handling is careful and deliberate; his palette, subdued and a little flat; his surfaces, slow and at times somewhat dry. His intense, unforgiving attention to detail lends a palpable realism to the paintings. Enlivened by a thinly veiled eroticism, his subtly voyeuristic scenes leave one feeling more than a little uncomfortable. This distinguishing quality in Vallotton is perhaps attributable to the artist’s method of combining sketches and photographs to compose a picture (encouraged by Vuillard and Bonnard, who also used photographs in the preparation of their paintings, Vallotton made frequent use of a Kodak). This process is more often associated with another of his contemporaries, Francis Picabia, yet Vallotton does not share Picabia's willful exuberance and lightness of touch, nor are his paintings concerned with any exploration of the relationship between painting and photography. Masterfully, Vallotton deployed an academic approach to create a unique psychological edge in his art. His surprisingly &quot;pre-modern&quot; qualities set Vallotton apart from his contemporaries and make his works appear fresh and worthy of consideration today.

  <Description><![CDATA[Morgan Lehman presents GLEAN, a solo exhibition of new works by Ryan Wallace. In his first exhibition with the gallery, Wallace continues his exploration of current trends and advancements in science, technology and consciousness. His research draws from books, websites, trade and mass media publications, industry reports, television and seminars. He uses this data and theories as starting points for his paintings and drawings, which act as visual solutions to his curiosity and meditations on these themes.

Much of the data mined for paintings like &quot;Quest (Higgs Boson) 1&quot; was culled from the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) website, specifically charts and reports related to the Large Hadron Collider. This multi-billion dollar experiment has drawn much public attention and speculation. It has been called the greatest scientific gamble of all time as it searches to find the &quot;God Particle&quot;, reveal the scaffolding of the cosmos, explain the Big Bang, and threatens to engulf the universe. Frequent breakdowns of the machine have lead to recent theories that something from the future has gone back in time to sabotage it and other projects. Wallace finds a strong parallel to the hyperbole, fear, excitement and wonder surrounding the sciences and what it means to be a conscious person amongst broader personal concerns and desires in modern times.

Throughout his process, Wallace manipulates the inherent properties of paints, papers, plastics and tapes to affect the varied surface of his works. A precarious nature of final outcomes is embraced and exploited. While obsessively arranged, each work is an articulation of arbitrary marks and mildly controlled accidents. Material is gathered laboriously, bit-by-bit, found in intentional creations as well as haphazard residue and remnants from the studio. These bits are accumulated, mulled over, reworked and composed into entireties as a universal shape manifests, repeatedly revealing itself throughout the exhibition. Layers of Mylar are glued over entire surfaces. Mild relief beneath yields an atmosphere of subtle trapped air pockets creating a hazy visage. In other works the plane finds itself slashed and oozing. Opalescent powder is thrown at thickly applied polyvinyl acetate and jade adhesive, clumped and matte in areas simultaneously sparkling wildly in the light and shadow of others.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[&quot;Mother the Cake is Burning&quot; refers to a schoolyard game that both artists played as children growing up in Germany and the USSR. The point of the game was for girls act to out what trouble could arise when mothers and daughters are neglectful of their kitchens.  Here in the gallery, these women underscore the importance of rebuked responsibility and mischievous desires gone astray in paint.  It is this delinquency that has consistently propelled these divergent practices.  

&quot;Now all you children stay at home,
And be good girls while I am gone...
Especially you, my daughter Sue,
Or else I'll beat you black and blue.&quot;
Rhyme for the game &quot;Mother the Cake is Burning&quot;, 1883 

Over the course of the last decade Anke Weyer has presented paintings that seem to defend and then discard the obvious traditions of craft and subject matter in painting. We have seen paintings that go from blackened landscapes to emotive dreamy figuration to coarse and degenerate abstractions all hanging within the same show. This latest exhibition is no exception. Decimated landscapes are returned to their animals, under-painting is washed with high chroma where unnatural color glows from behind a sometimes sludgy, sometimes lacy surface.  Riffing on the dashed Fauvist landscapes of Maurice de Vlaminck, Weyer tempers her color and brushwork. This restraint is lost when it comes to rendering form. Here a Kirchnerian freedom to place expression over the visual order of the real is consistently upheld.

In contrast to the unapologetic sprawl of Weyer’s works, Ms. Pankova offers us a series of stenciled face paintings on modest sized store bought canvases.  Made from a few stencils that are layered in many colors, the paintings are at once mysterious and plain. Ms. Pankova has often used a kind of installation to frame or modify a body of painting.  Here they are re-contextualized through the bookends of domestic potted plants, referencing Marcel Broodthaer's  home-built installation from 1968: ‚ Museum of Modern Art, Department of Eagles. This famous Duchampian &quot;institutional critique&quot;  is re-interpreted here by Pankova. Broodthaers' ironic objects are both replaced and deflated with the charm of lowbrow sentimental painting. The less-coded contents of Pankova's museum employ pathos over wit.  Here the critique can't even climb the institutions' front steps. Instead it loiters out front with the guy selling craft paintings on a blanket. The whole endeavor brings us down! to the street where paintings are returned their humble and stupid root.  

Both of these women stage a complex investment in how painting can fail. Both are insistent painters. Pankova is merciless in her deflation of painting but cant help to make a sincere picture when faced with the task.  In doing so she insists on the freedom to make a painting as she sees fit even if she trips over pathetic on the way.  Weyer's insistence is more to undermine than deflate.  She will keep digging.  Destined for avalanche, Ms Weyer holds a stubborn and illogical romance for light and shadow. There is a symbiotic relationship between these two practices that we are happy to finally have an opportunity to celebrate.  ]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[For this exhibition, Hegarty expands her dialogue between American master paintings and catalytic events by drawing upon a broad range of influences to include the sublime, quantum physics, alchemy, origami, abstract expressionism and imagery produced from the Hubble telescope.  As in works past, Hegarty reconfigures the paradigms of American painting through interventions that appear to be the result of natural events.  With works that recall Rothko, LeWitt and Pollock, &quot;Cosmic Collisions&quot; pushes the parameters of such events, to suggest the effects of the quantum mechanics of space on these iconic works, creating almost petrified relics.

  <Description><![CDATA[On October 9, 1940, the Galerie St. Etienne opened an exhibition with the unassuming title, “What a Farmwife Painted.” It featured thirty-four relatively small paintings [checklist nos. 4-12] by an obscure self-taught artist, Anna Mary Robertson Moses, from Eagle Bridge in upstate New York. Mrs. Moses, who had recently celebrated her 80th birthday, declined to attend the show. October was a busy month on the farm, she said, and besides, she had already seen the pictures. In an early review of the exhibition, The New York Herald Tribune noted that the elderly artist was known locally as “Grandma Moses.” The name stuck, and the seeds of a lasting legend were sown...

  <Description><![CDATA[Lori Bookstein Fine Art presents Antonakos: Whites, an exhibition of the artist’s white work in various media and different scales, focusing on the interaction of light with particular surfaces and edges. Drawn from the last 30 years, the examples embody the formalist engagement with physical and spatial relationships that has defined the work since the mid-1960s. Consistently non-referential, his geometric abstractions are, in his own words, “real things in real space.”

The interdependence of light and space, and the concern for specific architectural context and scale, that this exhibition seeks to exemplify, were powerfully evident in the 1960s in successive one-person exhibitions in New York and throughout the country. These included shows at the Fischbach Gallery, New York City; Neon Sculpture at the Fort Worth Art Center, and The Magic Theatre at the Nelson Atkins Gallery, Kansas City, among others.

Through the 1970s, many series of smaller, succinct “incomplete” neon forms in indoor installations were exhibited in dozens of personal and group shows here and throughout the United States and Europe. These crucially-placed linear forms referred to whole circles, squares, and other geometric shapes that might be completed in much larger scale in the mind’s eye. Antonakos dealt with these forms at the same time with a great range of invention in his drawings. These continue to be steadily produced, as shown in the group of recent “Crumples” – sheets of paper and Tyvek which the artist has quickly, firmly manipulated by hand.

Like the “Crumples” and all the artist’s works on paper and vellum, the earliest works here, the “Cuts” (1978, 1980), were created with Antonakos’s characteristic “plan/no plan.” Decisions are made regarding materials, scale, and general approach. Then there is an almost complete abandonment of conscious intention, and the hand leads the process. Both the “Crumples” and the “Cuts” offer a subtle invitation to the third dimension. This imaginative aspect is indicative of a temperament “so often concerned not with what is visible but with what is implied or concealed or incomplete.”

The specific motifs in the three wood Reliefs sprang from a series of Artist’s Books produced by hand in the 1980s. Their various jam-packed and spare compositions have been noted as relating to Constructivism. They reveal perhaps a harder, more rigorous aspect of the art.

Antonakos’s geometric Panels began in the early 1980s. Along with the public commissions, these are probably his best-known works. The segmented Panels (begun in the early 1990s) are deeply engaged with composition, proportion, the relationships between the elements within a work, and those between the work as a whole and the architecture and space around them. The chromatic glows of neon from behind their edges – and sometimes between the planes – affect both the wall and the space that we occupy as viewers.

Through the 1980s and 90s, aside from the circles and an occasionally slanted left or right side, the Panels remained structured orthogonally. “Voyage” (1999) is a stately major example. At the end of 2007, Antonakos introduced the first Panels with diagonal elements. “Departure” (2007) clearly shows the transition, with its bold arm signaling out from the side. With “Arrival” (2008) we see not a segmented plane, but a structure of three separate dynamic rectangles around a triangle of white light – a new concept. This direction continues with the fourth, still untitled, Panel in the show, dated 2010.

Though presenting only 16 works, the exhibition attempts to suggest the breadth and some of the essential qualities of the artist’s work. Like the “incomplete” geometry of his motifs, the selection may recall Beckett’s phrase, “complete, but with missing parts.”

Complementing this exhibition is a major new Panel with neon permanently installed in the Olympic Tower Atrium, 645 Fifth Avenue. Commissioned by the Alexander S. Onassis Public Benefit Foundation, “The Road to Mistra” is surfaced with gold and aluminum leaf, an homage to the Byzantine site in the Peloponnese.

Antonakos was born in Greece in 1926 and has always lived and worked in New York. He began exhibiting in the late 1950s and began working with neon, his signature medium, in 1960. There have been over 100 one-person shows, including a recent 50-year Retrospective in Athens, and over 200 group shows. His work is in many important museum and private collections throughout the US, Europe, and Japan. Over 50 permanent Public Works have been installed internationally. In addition to the kinds of work represented in Whites, Antonakos designs Chapels and Meditation Spaces and makes neon Walls, Artist’s Books, and collages.

  <Description><![CDATA[David Krut Print Workshop announces the publication of a new suite of prints by William Kentridge. ‘Nose’ is a suite of thirty prints, each plate measuring roughly 15 x 20 cm (5 x 8 inches). The prints explore a number of techniques but rely primarily on Kentridge’s strong drypoint marks, softened by sugarlift aquatint and punctuated, in several plates, with red. Each plate is engraved with a number signalling its place in the series. There are fifty prints in each edition and they have been editioned by Jillian Ross, Niall Bingham and Mlungisi Kongisa. This series will be exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art, New York from February 24 to May 17, 2010, at David Krut Projects, Johannesburg and David Krut Projects, New York in February 23 to April 10, 2010.

The ‘Nose’ series arose out of Kentridge’s preparation for his production of the Shostakovich opera &quot;The Nose&quot; for the Metropolitan Opera in March 2010. Shostakovich’s opera is based on one of the most famous stories in Russian literature, Nikolai Gogol’s The Nose, published in 1837. The story follows the adventures of the pompous government official Kovalyov who wakes up one day to find that his nose has left his face and gone walking around St Petersburg. In his interpretation of Gogol and Shostakovich, Kentridge has projected the story forward to the 1917 Russian Revolution and the Russian avant-garde, and then into the twentieth century to include allusions to Stalin’s purges of the 1930s.

  <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[Discussion Bench Platforms are a series of structures that continue the artist’s interest in the legacy of applied modernism and the tension between functional and aesthetic constructions. Powder-coated aluminum benches accompany a sequence of new discussion platforms. The function of the discussion platform as a designated space for thought is amplified by this pragmatic addition.
On the walls and windows of the gallery, sixteen new prints present a narrative derived from the first scene of Gillick’s play A Volvo Bar, that was the ‘short scenario’ part of his retrospective, “Three Perspectives and a short Scenario”, first performed at the Kunstverein München. Gillick’s eight-act play adapts the exhibition space as a stage on which social phenomena of a post-industrial society are played out, presenting a core aspect in Gillick’s work - the negotiation of models of communality. The prints here combine early woodcut imagery from pre-industrial Europe with the opening lines of the play. Everything Good Goes was first presented at the exhibition of the Vincent Awards at the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, 2008. Earlier that year, Gillick was in the process of preparing and editing a series of texts, clips and recordings derived from a series of lectures presented at unitednationsplaza, Berlin in 2006. While reviewing the content of the lectures the artist built a 3D computer model of the set, a factory, from the film Tout va Bien (Everything Goes Good), 1972, directed by French political activists and filmmakers, Jean-Luc Godard and Jean-Pierre Gorin.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[To celebrate the official move to Chelsea, Flowers is delighted to present a new body of work by the renowned British artist Richard Smith. This will be his first solo exhibition with Flowers in New York City. 

Smith, born in 1931, was a member of the brigade of artists who created the post-war renaissance of British art - a movement now attracting much deserved attention. A contemporary of Peter Blake and Joe Tilson at the Royal College of Art, Smith helped usher in the Pop Art movement with his paintings from the early 60s. 

Pop Art was not the only influence on Smith’s work. British abstraction played a major role in defining his career as an artist. Smith’s brilliant ability to effectively blend these diverse styles can be considered one of his greatest contributions to the art world. 

As with his work of recent years, Smith likens his new paintings and drawings to “Outsider” art, in that they convey a simplistic and straightforward point of view. They are eternally optimistic, echoing beautifully judged communication between shapes and radiant colors making them at once both seductive and intellectually satisfying.

  <Description><![CDATA[Mary Ryan Gallery announces its first exhibition of new work by Sangbin IM.  IM's photographs are hyper-realistic visions that contrast our utopian desires with voracious consumerism.  Through his dramatic digital manipulation of painting and photography, IM challenges our perceptions of the world around us.
 
To create a single work, IM takes hundreds of digital photographs of a scene or landmark over a period of time, which he then combines seamlessly with digital images of his own paintings of atmospheric elements (sky, water, or flooring, for example), to heighten the drama. The resulting image is an idealized and subtly enhanced view of our urban environment.  At a first glance, these familiar settings may look real, but upon close inspection, the artifice becomes apparent. IM's work aims to blur the boundaries of illusion and verisimilitude through exaggeration of scale, color saturation and painterly textures.
 
Lush greenery surrounds a turquoise lake filled with boaters, set against a magnificent, if over-abundant, New York City skyline in Central Park-NY-2 (2009). This painterly photograph, an idealized rendering of a site familiar to so many New Yorkers, is a prefect example of the dualities that inform IM's work: the real and the virtual, the original and the manipulated, the analog and the digital. 
 
People-MoMA (2009) depicts a mass of people, photographed from several floors up, all making their way toward the entrance of the Museum of Modern Art, which itself is suggested only by barely visible glass doors and the edge of MoMA's atrium balcony.  The people--brightly colored strategically placed against IM's enhanced backgrounds-seem to be rushing toward the gap between the two panels of the diptych. With the museum's collection removed from view, the work shifts its focus to the relationship between people and architectural space, the cultural site, and the collective museum-going experience--as the artist says, &quot;the modern spectacle of appreciating art.&quot; 
 
Three examples from IM's &quot;Metropolitan Museum Project,&quot; a series of nine works, will also be on view.  In a different approach to commenting on the modern museum, IM, acting as 'curator,' completely reconfigures different portions of the museum's permanent collections.  He re-sizes the works based on his personal preference, changes the displays, lighting, and color saturations, while hanging the works in a massive salon-style grouping that nearly fills the picture plane.  IM makes each of the works in the series the same size, which gives each cultural collection equal attention.  Here IM explores the role of the museum and its effects on the public's perception of art history.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[In conjunction with Francis M. Naumann Fine Art, &quot;The Visible Vagina,&quot; the show is designed to make visible a portion of the female anatomy that is generally considered taboo―too private and intimate for public display. If shown at all, this part of a woman's body is usually presented in an abject fashion, generally within the context of pornography, intended, in almost all cases, for the exclusive pleasure of men. The goal of this exhibition is to remove these prurient connotations, implicit even in works of art, ever since the pudendum was prudishly covered by a fig leaf. This gesture of false modesty, it should be noted, was devised and enforced entirely by men (not only in the case of classical sculpture, but also in the Bible, in which, immediately after their disobedience in the Garden of Eden, Adam and Eve cover their genitalia with fig leaves). Indeed, until recently, men made virtually all depictions of the frontal nude female figure, but as this exhibition will demonstrate, that has changed dramatically in recent years. Inspiration for both the show and its catalogue came from Eve Ensler's &quot;The Vagina Monologues,&quot; a stage play that premiered off-Broadway in 1996, and was followed by various productions throughout the world (it appeared as a book in 1998). Ensler gave voice to countless women worldwide, honoring the complexity and mystery of their sexuality, basically encouraging them to consider their vaginas as powerful and expressive components of their physical selves, something not to be ashamed of, but to be proudly protected as an assertive and positive manifestation of their being. The idea for this show came from realizing that there was no better group to give vision to this goal than artists, many of whom had already incorporated imagery of the vagina in their works. Because of Ensler's pioneering work in this field, the catalogue is dedicated to her, and proceeds from its sale shall be donated to V-Day, the organization she founded to end violence against women and girls throughout the world.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Andro Wekua (born in Georgia 1977, lives and works in Berlin) has been described as a master of suggestion. Wekua finds his drawn, collaged or sculptural images are located in a no man's land between East and West, aesthetic exactness and improvisation, confidence and melancholy. His highly visual scripts play with his past and fictionalize it.

The SI Reading Room is proud to present a selection of Wekua’s books and editions, which have never been displayed together. In his use of printing techniques the artist is obsessed with refinement. Some of his lithographs build upon on no less than ten different color plates. A large variety of books accompanies his artistic production and include collaborations with Rita Ackermann, Boris Groys and Ketuta Alexi.

  <Description><![CDATA[*Stéphane Malarrmé, Poet (18 March 1842 – 9 September 1898)

*“When ma is used in conjunction with the arts it relates to rhythm and berating (it was originally a concept related to
music). It can best be described in theater as a dramatic pause in spoken lines, in music it is interpreted according to each
musician's taste and how one wishes to space the notes. In painting, the empty space (ma) is used to enhance the whole
of the painting.” (http://japanese.about.com/library/weekly/aa082097.htm)]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[&quot;Who are you close to,&quot; is a group exhibition inspired by Louise Lawler's work of the same title. Commissioned for the Tel Aviv museum in 1988, Lawler created a set of four postcards with &quot;Who are you close to&quot; printed in Arabic, Hebrew, and English. Each card represents a different color of the Israeli and Palestinian flags: red, green, blue, and black. The piece discusses the problems of relationships, and their often complex nature. The works in the exhibition will allow the audience to engage in a dialog about such complexities and encourages spiritual, political, and cultural responses.

  <Description><![CDATA[The exhibition is concurrently on view with a show of new sculptural works and wall installations at Greenberg Van Doren Gallery, on view from February 18 ­ March 21, 2010.

&quot;Vaga Lume&quot; is comprised of thousands of individual porcelain sockets and commercial bulbs of warm yellow light anchored overhead into the gallery ceiling; each of the lights may be turned on or off by a beaded chain which extends vertically from the ceiling towards the floor. These chains fill the space completely, creating a repeated series of veils that one has to move through. As the viewer navigates the space, he or she becomes a performer that activates the work by pulling on the chains to turn the lights on and off; by changing the pattern of lights, the viewer creates a changing composition of visual illumination. Vaga Lume exists in time as it changes constantly. Soares describes one’s physical experience of Vaga Lume as “almost like being in the middle of a waterfall, looking at constellations in the sky.” In Portuguese, Vaga Lume refers to a light that is subtle, wandering, vague and transient.

  <Description><![CDATA[For years, Lowe has used humble materials and sly humor to critique the conventions, foibles, neuroses, and injustices of contemporary society.  She skillfully crafts individual objects and entire installations from papier-mâché and enamel paint.  That which initially appears to be a genuine psychiatrist’s office or library full of books is revealed as a cartoonish, very funny, ersatz construction freighted with jabs and cultural references.  Her targets have included the obsessive self-help movement, environmental destruction, and the pharmaceutical industry, among many others.]]></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[The title of the show borrows from the infamous George Clinton + Funkadelic and their decades-long experimental movement combining music, fashion, illustration and performance. Their phrase, &quot;The Mothership Has Landed&quot; can roughly translate to &quot;The shit is about to hit the fan!&quot; and illustrates the collective nature of the group's overall expressive and raw quality.

A similar expressive and raw quality can be seen in this group of artists. Their works are cultural hybrids borrowing from the familiar and inspired by their investigation of media transformed through personal experience, resulting in a cosmic array of images, objects and performance. &quot;Here's a chance to dance our way out of our constrictions…with the groove our only guide, we shall all be moved.&quot;

  <Description><![CDATA[Esopus Space presents “The Assembled Picture Library of New York City,” a collaborative exhibition and workspace environment organized by artists Robin Cameron and Jason Polan. 

The exhibition will provide free and open access to hundreds of images from the collections of Cameron and Polan. Visitors are invited to come in during gallery hours (Mon/Tue/Thu from 12-5pm) and use these images—which include manuscripts, advertisements, prints, original drawings, and more—as raw material for their own artworks, which will be displayed on the walls of Esopus Space for the length of the exhibition. Visitors are also encouraged to submit their own images to build upon the collection, and will have the opportunity to participate in a dialogue with Cameron and Polan, who will be in attendance throughout the run of the show. 

With this project, the artists hope to create a collaborative and creative relationship with the general public—an important component of both Cameron and Polan’s previous work, as well as an essential aspect of the Esopus Foundation’s mission. The artists are also interested in engendering a sense of community around the production of self-published books, zines, and editions. Along those lines, Polan and Cameron will create a book featuring visitors’ artworks, The Assembled Picture Library of New York Book, that will be available at the closing reception on March 18. ]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Yibin Tian’s multi-media installation comprises C print photographs, three-dimensional sculptures, and video installation. Tian’s goal is to capture the effects that authoritarian Songun-ism (Military First) has on its citizenry. Tian uses color film and casual observation as his methodologies.  Aside from his aesthetic contributions, Tian’s work holds relevance in its timely cultural and social value especially given the recent political crisis resulting from North Korean nuclear testing and Jongil Kim’s refusal to cooperate with international disarmament policy.
Our New York by Yibin Tian (a.k.a. Lao Liu or Old Six) is an installation that continues his last year’s series All for One and One for All.  His work is a result of being reared in a totalitarian government in Bejing, China. This rigid environment provoked him to explore the contrary lifestyle of individualism. Many of the works express the North Korean Songun (military first) politics, yet simultaneously touch upon democratic values as they combine western figures and ideas. Tian’s photographs and sculptures of North Korean military authoritarianism (Songun) where a nation is at the service of its leader Jong-Il Kim, are metaphors for power.  Juche is akin to a religious philosophy that espouses worship of a charismatic leader and is informed by Confucianist values advocating the notion of filial piety and familial hierarchy. While exhibiting the last series in New York the artist enacted a pre-set visual dialogue between western and eastern militarism by posing together North Korean officers juxtaposed against New York uniformed policemen.

  <Description><![CDATA[This exhibition includes a selection of around one hundred and fifty works by Xie Zhiliu (pronounced &quot;shay jer-leo&quot;), one of modern China's leading traditional artists and a preeminent connoisseur of painting and calligraphy. The rare trove of material on view demonstrates how studying and copying earlier models were as much a part of Chinese artistic tradition as learning from nature. Drawn from a recent gift of sketches, calligraphic works, manuscripts, and seals presented to the Museum by the artist’s daughter, Sarah Shay, the installation commemorates the one-hundredth anniversary of Xie Zhiliu’s birth.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Throughout the 1980's and 1990's, Sakai's geometric based wood constructions articulated objects that were structured as a continuous embodiment of space and meaning. In this show, Sakai attempts to expose the correlation between four black and white paintings and four wooden wall sculptures. Even though the two bodies of work are created in different media they are executed in a parallel mode, both dealing with the concept of space and dimensionality.

  <Description><![CDATA[The most profoundly uncanny moments in life aren’t recognizable as such. They are like a ringing in the ears or a frame permanently askew, the missing object on a mantelpiece that lets you know that the scene has been disturbed. For &quot;Just Off,&quot; curators Peter Drake and Alix Sloan have brought together eleven uncannily like-minded emerging artists. With disconnected gestures, anatomical drawings of non-existent creatures, detritus still lives that remind one of ceramic figurines and everyday environments disrupted by unsettling forces, their imagery is similarly, subtly, disquietingly unhinged. The collected works are at their core familiar and beautiful but together they are undeniably and intriguingly &quot;Just Off.&quot;

  <Description><![CDATA[Austrian Norbert Brunner’s inaugural American exhibition, Fuck Luck uses the gallery space as a reflection area for self actualization.  By juxtaposing large scale crystal embedded mirrors with iconic photo-portraits, the artist empowers the viewer to take charge of his own destiny and allows him to choose a positive attitude.  Brunner’s mirror objects reflect not only the viewer in the space, but superimpose the imbedded text across all in its path, insisting we become an interactive part of the installation.  The artist forces the viewer squarely into the center of the work, asking that they formulate their own interpretation of reality.  A mirror is not an exact reflection of reality, but a distorted reading which readily offers back to the viewer an interaction with his own preconceived prejudices, strengths, hopes and experiences.

  <Description><![CDATA[An international art movement of the 1960s and 1970s, Fluxus— whose name was based on the Latin word flux, meaning constant flow or change— brought together artists working in music, poetry, film, theater, and the visual arts. The movement challenged the commodification of art and favored nontraditional modes of expression, such as collective performances, inexpensive publications, and unlimited editions of small objects. This special installation of posters, newspapers, Fluxus editions, films, and photographs celebrates the recent gift by Gilbert and Lila Silverman of their renowned Fluxus collection.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Babcock Galleries presents &quot;African Americans: Seeing and Seen, 1766 – 1916,&quot; an incisive overview of refined and controversial fine art and popular culture images of African Americans as artists and subjects. Bitter brutality and cruel caricature alternate with respectful revelations and positive portrayals of the status of African Americans.  It may be said that all portrayals become betrayals in revealing the motivations and prejudices of their creator, and the images in this exhibition offer telling insights into the prevailing notions of the period.   Each work is not only a signpost of the complex nature of our cultural forbearers, but also a harbinger of the ongoing struggle for equal rights in the United States. Tess Sol Schwab, Assistant Director at Babcock Galleries and curator of this exhibition, points out that African American history “…can be catalogued by the racist and derogatory images across the centuries that have mirrored popular views while at the same time shaping and reinforcing them.  Yet, sensitive portrayals of blacks by whites also exist alongside them, as well as inspiring and successful careers by African American artists.”  Noting the contradiction in a country’s founding ideal of “all men are created equal” being penned by a man who owned two hundred slaves, &quot;Seeing and Seen&quot; attempts to reveal the many layers that emerged from this complicated beginning.

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

  <Description><![CDATA[&quot;Silent Harvest,&quot; seen through the eye of the solitary traveler as revealing nightscapes and stark panoramas, immediately distances the viewer as dark monuments cleave the horizon through the speeding processional of progress.  Set against a black wall in a dimly lit room, the exhibit combines traditional painting with modern installation.  The monumental representation of industry is ironically compressed and transformed to a dotted band of pearls lining the room where the dark images are juxtaposed with the brilliant gems of light emitted from tiny windows and burning towers. This series of nocturnal landscapes by Naomi Campbell will be on display at White Box Projects. The result of a year's research and travel throughout the northeast, her work includes 26 small-scale oil paintings on canvas board and paper, mediums that contrast with the steel and brick of the subject matter and highlight the artist's long-term preoccupation with the fragility of life. Growing up amidst the industry that spans the Canadian landscape had a profound impact on Campbell's perception of transportation and industrialization and its effects on the people and the land.  In the Silent Harvest series, Campbell's representation of these brooding and silent industrial sites reflects on the past and anticipates the future.

  <Description><![CDATA[The Dadaists understood the elements of change and chance to be influential to the creation of an artwork. Anderson's work cradles the idea of chance in that he finds his inspiration and materials walking along the street in discarded boards, chairs and broken records. To these items, he adds his own untameable element: fire. 
Either ignited or dormant, the flammable aspect of Anderson's work plays into its understanding. In &quot;This Side of the Bed is Occupied&quot; (2002), a stray piece of wood is surrounded entirely by matchsticks and glue, the sticks decapitated and therefore robbed of their only function. The heads are found in &quot;A Prayer Cloth&quot; (2009), where they are glued to a piece of canvas soaked with linseed oil. The two components lay side by side without igniting. Anderson also draws his aesthetic from after the alchemic reaction has occurred. In &quot;Pour Robert Filliou&quot; (2010), the matchsticks appear again, this time as spent objects strung together to resemble an explosive, ammunition, or a chain reaction.  &quot;Autoportrait&quot; (2009), reveals golden raisins adhered to the inside of an old shirt, their shriveled remains representing the artist himself, or more poignantly, a dream deferred.]]></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[A Florence Knoll sofa is placed in an otherwise empty gallery space.
As an icon of modernism, the sofa places its bet on functionality, all the while recalling a classist symbol of upward mobility, upholstered in the  guise of utopian ideals.
 
The marred appearance of Bird's sofa suggests a general malaise or negative stance, underlining a comedic cynicism which posits a quiet protest against standards of aesthetics and the marketplace.  Placed alone in a gallery with limited commercial viability, the object
presents a ready made death sentence, simultaneously critiquing and engaging in it's own marketability.  In this sense, it becomes a
radical gesture—rendering itself impotent when confronted with the reality of its price tag--ultimately guaranteeing its return to
functionality in the artist’s studio.]]></Description>

  <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[The exhibition is comprised of an installation, collages and light boxes created with non-traditional materials. Like a modern-day maze, each of the works draws us into a multilayered labyrinth of social issues and various forms of physical interaction between the work of art and its viewer.

In AIRBOX (2003-2006), Stamatiou creates a bunker-like monochromatic futuristic monument housing various domestic appliances and structures that come straight from the pages of science fiction. To recast these almost forgotten future-pasts, the artist uses unglamorous materials - semi-transparent industrial plastics, foam and paper to build the bunker and its content thus blurring the line between public and private, collective and individual where the past ideals of collective action led the forward march of history.

The CORPORATE CHARTS SERIES (2008 - 2009) examines themes of faltering economies and environmental deterioration. Stamatiou attacks the corporate mentality with an art of unconventional materials and style, focusing on charts as systems of classification. To recreate the stock price charts of two ‘penny stock’ companies producing alternative energy (BLVD) and biotechnology (PLSO), he builds elaborate collages with found objects of consumer waste – plastic water bottles, plastic drinking straws and electrical wires. In the light box titled CEO, Putting Pay For Performance First (analysis of 2006 compensation for top executives of major US corporations), he reuses glass from a broken window of a bank where he saw the original chart. Other works include ZINC, ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE and WIND BURST light boxes (2009), each of which documents a different natural phenomenon revealing the artist’s interest in the relationship between chance and order and focus on the transformative powers of energy as well as on the possibilities and limitations of chance. ]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[From Chernobyl's Zone of Exclusion to the artificial quarantine islands of the New York archipelago, and from camps set up to house HIV+ Haitian refugees at Guantánamo Bay to the modified Airstream trailer within which returning Apollo astronauts once waved at President Nixon, the landscapes of quarantine are as varied as they are unexpected. &quot;Landscapes of Quarantine&quot; features new works by a multi-disciplinary group of eighteen artists, designers, and architects, each of whom was inspired by one or more of the physical, biological, ethical, architectural, social, political, temporal, and even astronomical dimensions of quarantine. During the exhibition, a series of quarantine-inspired dinners will be hosted at the gallery. As envisioned by Michael Cirino of &quot;A razor, a shiny knife,&quot; the events will feature quarantine-aged meats, layered encapsulated flavors and other themed edibles. Ticketing details will be announced soon.

  <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[This three person exhibition presents three different viewpoints/perspectives of a simple yet ambiguous notion in Japanese, “mawaru.” In English, “mawaru” means to turn around, spin, circulate or cycle, and to visit places. The theme of this exhibition spontaneously grew out of the common ground found in the works of three artists from Japan, living in New York, USA. 

ON megumi Akiyoshi created a series of paintings and sculptures called, &quot;Blooming Bubbles&quot;. ON visualizes life circulating and flowing perpetually in this world and beyond. In this flux, spumes are born and disappear just like flowers open and lose their petals. &quot;Blooming Bubbles&quot; are the artist’s projection of our existence. We are all given a certain amount of time in one lifetime, during which, ON wishes full blossoming for all beings. 

In the series, &quot;Zoological Specimen&quot;, Akiyuki Ina has created ‘resurrected’ stuffed animals, made of discarded clothing found on the streets of NY. These works are loosely based on animals that may become extinct in the near future. Though these are endearing creatures, by re-constructing them in such a way that the bones emerge from their bodies, Akiyuki imposes the horror of hybrid-transformation and deformation in the process of recycling materials. “Zoological Specimen&quot; evokes a hazardous cycle of modernization, which often results in a fragile co-existence with nature. 

Hiroshi Sunairi created a collection of video, photography and sculpture, entitled, &quot;Pilgrimage,&quot; based on his trip to China in 2006, passing through Beijing (北京), Lijiang (丽江), Shangri-la (香格里拉), Deqin (德欽), Feilai si (飞来寺) and Yubeng village (雨崩村) in the Yunnan Province (雲南省), near the border of Tibet Autonomous Region. This journey, culminated in meeting a Tibetan Lama and making a pilgrimage to Yubeng's sacred waterfall at the foot of Meili Snow Mountain, Kawakarpo-la (梅里雪山). For Sunairi, this work is a documentation of the act of pilgrimage.

  <Description><![CDATA[Marta Minujín is a prominent voice of the Argentine neo-avant-garde art scene of the 1960s and 70s, with a brilliant international career that helped define the discussion about media, performance, and participation. Minujín is often mentioned as one of the pioneers of happenings. 
Marta Minujín’s Minucode (1968), originally commissioned by the Center for Inter-American Relations (now Americas Society), explored social codes in four groups of leading figures in the arts, business, fashion, and politics in New York through a series of cocktail parties/happenings. Deeply interested in Marshall McLuhan’s theories about the mass media, Minujín created an electronic environment with footage and light and sound shows produced during the happenings. 
MINUCODEs, organized by Gabriela Rangel and José Luis Blondet, revisits that project more than 40 years later. Through recently recovered footage and documents, the exhibition will shed light on the original mythical event.

  <Description><![CDATA[This will be Alexey Titarenko’s first major exhibition in New York that features his entire St. Petersburg series (1991-2009). The four underlying sequences, or movements– to borrow a term from the vocabulary of music, which features prominently in the artist's mind, are &quot;The City of Shadows,&quot; &quot;The Anonymous,&quot; &quot;The Light of Saint Petersburg&quot; and &quot;Unfinished Time.&quot; Like music, the expression of time is a presence in Titarenko's art, associated with literature and in particular, the works of Marcel Proust.

  <Description><![CDATA[In a short video created for Art in General’s elevator, Judith Hoffman mines stereotypes of the female artist to unveil the struggles of marginalized creative communities. Through the presentation of a cross section of Hoffman’s own artistic colleagues, the artist probes the uneasy balance between individuation and acceptance in the pursuit of recognition.

  <Description><![CDATA[Kang's current series Power Games contains subject matter that relates to the dualistic nature of life's cycle: destruction and renewal. She makes a powerful statement about survival within the inherently dangerous ecological environment in which life occurs. She demonstrates the Darwinist euphemism &quot;survival of the fittest&quot; in her works that contain flora and fauna as metaphors of life. The eagle or the phoenix stands as emblems of authority, at times attacking serpents or smaller prey. In turn, the serpent then attacks and devours a tiny bird or insect. This never-ending cycle of death is also one of renewal, for in nurturing the stronger, undoubtedly, life is also perpetuated. This is the natural rhythm of life that imposes order on chaotic nature.


Kang's backgrounds are immaculately painted formulating smooth glossy surfaces upon which her natural motifs exist. Her animals and plants are composed of beads, crystals and sequins painstakingly applied to her surfaces. They glitter and shine wearing crowns of glory like their royal human corollaries. At other times they swoop down in feathery exaltation to grab their quarry for the kill. Whatever form these entities take in the work of Kang they are glorious creatures that while sparkling in their pageantry cause us to think.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Over the past five years Gregory has focused on the barn as American symbol and icon.  The barn, with its endless possibilities of shape and form, became a signature subject for the artist: round, peaked, with broken eaves, punctuated by many windows, clad with gables and siding.   A few years ago, the barns were “up front,” the main focus of each painting, with bits of landscape invented by the artist as a stage set for each structure.  Eager to push into new territory, to explore the line between land and sky, heaven and earth, Gregory amplified the scale of his works, doubling them in size, moving from panel to canvas. While the manifest content of each work is that line between heaven and earth, it is the underlying content, the metaphor that is most important in this new body of work, the balance between beauty, hope and despair; the loneliness of a starlit sky; the poetic and often pregnant sensation that is present where the horizon meets the sky in a way that does not address literal separation from earth.  The potency of a mountainscape invented by the artist as background and backdrop for a lone barn or a community of buildings bathed in blue afternoon light reminds one of the writings of John Steinbeck when the West was young and the symbol of hope for so many who moved there.  Gregory’s expansion of the landscape to include mountains at sunset, foothills at twilight, fields of golden grain and corn as the new moon rises in the sky seems more evocative and iconic than his earlier works. The poetry in the paintings is palpable, the sense of memory is undeniable, the depiction of a time and place, perhaps gone forever.  Each painting--most named for places the artist has been where he has been inspired--seems to be the beginning of a saga.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[DAWN and DUSK reflect the maturity in Mr. Olaf's approach to making photographs and his consideration of form and content. 
The genesis for this series came from artist's travels to the US, where he was struck by the interest of African Americans in an earlier body of work and his desire to expand his thinking about his subject matter.
He wanted to respond to and recreate the period atmosphere. DUSK is Olaf's first work in black and white in ten years. The artist describes the result as a &quot;dark comic strip&quot; for which he admits that he does not himself fully understand the content.
DAWN became Olaf's response to DUSK. This work, in color, is based on an encounter in Russia with people with pale skin in characterless rooms. The narrative content of DUSK is strong but not clear; the setting and the protagonists indicate some sort of personal, although enigmatic drama. DAWN inverts the dark tones of DUSK and plays them out into a cool, white field, with accents of light flesh tones.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Marco Delogu has always embarked on projects focused on groups of people who have experiences or idioms in common, and in doing so has always drawn inspiration from his own life.

The idea of photographing Vatican Cardinals (Cardinali) for example was inspired by Delogu's uncle who was a Bishop. Photographed in their private chapels, their apartments, austere or regal, in the magnificent Vatican buildings or in their hospital beds, these portraits recall the iconography of classical painting while being in the language of contemporary portraiture.

Captivity (Cattavita), Delogu's portraits of criminals in Rome's Rebibbia Prison stems from his fear of imprisonment, a constant concern for the people of his generation and their extreme expressions of the political struggles of the 70's. After twenty years, many of Delogu's former schoolmates are still in prison.

Cardinals and Criminals are complete opposites. Each represent societal extremes: Good and Evil. However, through Delogu's lens, these opposites manifest a collision of ethos and pathos. Delogu sees each person as an inhabitant within a web of imposed and self-imposed rules and regulations that are indecipherable to those who do not know their experience. Beyond the rules are men and women just trying to survive.]]></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[Elene Usdin makes her New York debut exhibiting her current series Femmes D’Interieur, this month at the Farmani Gallery. Usdin, a Paris based artist, combines both her talents of photography and illustration in these imaginative artworks. Usdin’s stunning imagery also provides social commentary regarding the place of women as the decorations within their own domesticated situations. Usdin will be in attendance for the opening reception.

Usdin, a member of the creative collective Hartland Villa, which includes art directors Lionel Avignon and Stefan Vivies, was recently awarded with the London Photographic Associations Gold in Fashion for the “fair-etale” series. She has also been awarded the 2008 Px3 Prix De La Photographie Paris and the International Photography Awards honorable mention for her earlier series “Self Portrait with Mattress.” Her editorial and fashion work can also be seen in Eyemazing, Twill, and The World Magazine.

This latest series “Femmes D’Interieur,” which has already exhibited at the Gallery of Graphic Arts in Paris, Usdin reflects upon the representation of women as a decorative element, morphing objects like common household items, furniture, and even the countryside with that of women painted in the style of portraits from the Classical Era. This offbeat reinterpretation of “woman-as-object” is at one time unsettling and yet Usdin has the ability to convey this strong subject matter with wit and charm in her stunning artworks. It is has been said of Usdin’s work, “it is always about women – the women of fairytales, of mythology, and of fantasy,” and she provides that same ideology in this series.

Each artwork is a unique original, hand painted C-print mounted on aluminum. For the exhibition the gallery will show a mix of originals and reproductions available in two sizes.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[The artist’s second solo exhibition at Hirschl &amp; Adler Modern will feature more than sixteen new works in oil, ranging in size from 9 x 11 inches to 40 x 60 inches. Fresh and unconventional, the still life paintings in Nature Morte explore the subversive potential of beauty and pleasure found in the “raw stuff” of life – and death.

Dennis is known for his hyper naturalistic, highly detailed and obsessively delineated paintings that evoke nostalgia for familiar historical styles and aesthetic notions of beauty. However, it is Dennis’ provocative content that makes his work so compelling. In order to distill something otherworldly from within nature’s beneficence, Dennis uses imagery that is disorienting, disquieting, and even freakish. There is always something stirring beneath the surface.

  <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[Even though New York, like many major cities, has a low per capita ownership of automobiles, it has surprisingly played an essential role in creating today's car culture, and the car has helped, in turn, to shape modern New York. Cars, Culture, and the City is the first exhibition to explore New York City’s century-long relationship with the car and marks the 100th anniversary of the Greater New York Automobile Dealers Association (GNYADA). The exhibition will feature visionary drawings and models; historic photographs, films, and advertisements; and a wealth of car memorabilia to tell this fascinating, yet untold, story.  ]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Over the past several years, Viviane Sassen has emerged as one of the freshest voices in European photography. Already an acclaimed fashion photographer whose work appears regularly in magazines such as French VOGUE, Purple, and i-D, in 2001 Sassen began regular trips to Africa, where she had lived as a child. Her work there moved away from fashion and documentary and towards an ongoing body of collaborative portraits.

In this work she has established a visual vocabulary that is stylized, symbolic and mysterious. Her aesthetic combines a sense of childhood memory, where scenes are crystallized and highly saturated with color with a photographer's sensitivity to the body and surface. The strong presence of shadow and darkness in Sassen's images provokes more questions than answers. If there is such a thing as magical realism in photography, these photographs embody it.

This exhibition, Sassen's first American showing, draws on work from three series - 'Die Son Sien Alles' (The Sun Sees Everything), made in South Africa; 'Flamboya', made in Zambia and East Africa (Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania); and the series 'Ultra Violet', made in Ghana. These portraits combine the spontaneous with the staged, and often come out of ideas that Sasson carries in a sketchbook of inspirations for future compositions. These ideas are shared with her subjects as the starting point for each photograph. Critic Vince Aletti commented, &quot;Her photographs tease fashion conventions but with witty and unexpected results, partly because her subjects are all young Africans who seem to have enjoyed collaborating with her. She tends to treat the body as a sculptural element — a malleable shape that combines with blocks of shadow and bright color in arrangements that sometimes read like cut-paper collages, bold and abstract but full of vibrant life.&quot;]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[&quot;Pablo Bronstein at the Met&quot; is a presentation of new work by the London-based artist, addressing the history and future of The Metropolitan Museum of Art. Several large ink drawings by the artist suggest a mythical history of the Metropolitan Museum, imagining the building under construction. A series of computer drawings focus on hypothetical futures of the Museum. This is the artist's first solo exhibition in New York. Through drawings, installations, performances, and books, Pablo Bronstein has investigated a variety of historical periods and tastes. His palette encompasses a myriad of styles: from the mannered baroque of Turin to the classical architecture of 18th-century France, from early 20th-century Modernism to Postmodernism in its various manifestations. Adopting the guise of the architect, architectural historian, and the user of buildings, Bronstein reveals what might be described as the veneer of architecture. In doing so he highlights the complicit power structures that are required to accomplish great works, in turn inviting viewers to consider the mechanisms that delineate private and public space.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[In 1975, the Metropolitan Museum of Art acquired more than four hundred works of Japanese art from collector Harry G. C. Packard (1914-1991), by gift and purchase. The acquisition instantly transformed the Museum into an institution boasting one of the finest collections of its kind in the West, with encyclopedic holdings from the Neolithic period through the nineteenth century. This exhibition celebrates the thirty-fifth anniversary of the acquisition of the Packard Collection, showcasing its particular strengths in archaeological artifacts, Buddhist iconographic scrolls, ceramics, screen paintings of the Momoyama and Edo periods (sixteenth through nineteenth centuries), and sculptures of the Heian and Kamakura periods (ninth through fourteenth centuries).

  <Description><![CDATA[Katayoun Vaziri makes works on paper and videos that pose pointed questions about the nature of personal narratives and civic identity: what are the stories we tell ourselves to determine our allegiances, national and otherwise? are there similarities between the way we divide ourselves from those around us and the way that nations draw their boundaries? She experiments with the temporal qualities of each of her chosen media, teasing out the storytelling capacities of each and playing them against each other.
On view in this exhibition will be the video 'Where Are We,' shot in a Lebanese camp for Palestinian refugees, and structured using the text of Mahmoud Darwish's poem 'A Noun Sentence; as well as new multi-panel work on paper.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[During the first decades of the twentieth century, numerous painters and sculptors migrated to Paris, which had become the international nexus for vanguard art. Bringing with them their diverse customs, these artists absorbed and contributed to the latest creative developments, often fusing novel formal elements with aspects from their respective local traditions. Although these artists did not adhere to a fixed style typical of a school, they were united in their defiance of academicism. 
Paris and the Avant-Garde: Modern Masters from the Guggenheim Collection will feature some thirty paintings from the Guggenheim Collection by such artists as Georges Braque, Marc Chagall, Robert Delaunay, Albert Gleizes, Juan Gris, Pablo Picasso, Fernand Léger, Joan Miró, and Yves Tanguy, among others, as well as showcase a significant group of sculpture by Constantin Brancusi and Alexander Calder. The exhibition is curated by Tracey Bashkoff, Curator of Collections and Exhibitions, and Megan Fontanella, Assistant Curator.
This exhibition is supported by a grant from the Joseph and Sylvia Slifka Foundation. The Leadership Committee for Paris and the Avant-Garde: Modern Masters from the Guggenheim Collection is gratefully acknowledged.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Salon 94 presents Our Kind of People, an exhibition of new work by Rashid Johnson. The exhibition features a monumental sculptural installation and his new film, The Sweet Sweet Runner.

The Sweet, Sweet Runner is our kind of people.
Like Jack Johnson, he’s unforgivable. He runs to, not from; he’s privileged. When the sweet runner lines up at the starting gate he thanks the Boulé, not God. He collects plants because he thinks it brings him closer to Broodthaers. When he runs, he listens to Eric Dolphy, Public Enemy and the clones of doctor funkenstein. He has a membership to the Mothership. He’s connected. He told Alain Locke about the New. He once broke up a fight between Booker T. Washington and W.E.B Dubois, with a baby in his arms. He sent Sun Ra to Saturn. When he broke up with Debra Dickerson, she wrote the End. He colonizes modernism. He thinks Watermelon Man is Melvin Van Peebles best film. When he crosses the finish line, he yells “watch out”!
If you don’t know, you better ask somebody.

Rashid Johnson (b. 1977, Chicago, IL) lives and works in New York.

  <Description><![CDATA[Irving Penn’s unbroken stream of creative invention spanned seven decades and established an indelible standard of clarity, grace, wit, and elegance. The Museum of Modern Art has collected and exhibited his photographs since 1943, and in 1984 we were proud to present a retrospective organized by his friend John Szarkowski, then head of MoMA’s Department of Photography. A selection of Penn’s outstanding photographs from the Museum’s collection is presented as a tribute to this remarkable artist.

  <Description><![CDATA[Challenging the conventions of both sculpture and jewelry making, Munich-based artist Karl Fritsch creates rings that read as miniature sculptures. Often intricately constructed yet coarsely finished, Fritsch’s rings are marked by rough, oxidized finishes and detectable fingerprints, conveying the urgency of the rings’ materialization. He playfully mixes high and low materials, giving equal billing to diamonds, rubies, plastic pearls and glass gemstones. By making all his sculptures wearable in the form of rings, Fritsch liberates his media from static presentation and creates an unprecedented intimacy to the works, simultaneously subverting the notion that jewelry is mere décor and that sculpture must be admired at a distance. Among Fritsh’s works on display are a grouping of 7 rings inspired by the Seven Deadly Sins (Die 7 Todsünden)— pride (superbia), envy (invidia), avaice (avaritia), wrath (ira), sloth (acedia), gluttony (gula), and extravagance (luxuria). Decadently Baroque yet ominous in appearance, Fritsch interprets each sin with visual and material metaphors, using shards of glass, hand-formed oxidized gold &amp; silver, recycled estate jewelry, along with diamonds and pearls to create these spectacular allegorical pieces. The exhibition also features three new paintings by British artist, Richard Wathen, each featuring an enigmatic female figure of undeterminable age against a muted, tonal background. Transposing the cubist idea of using multiple perspectives of a singe object or person to describe the whole subject or experience, Wathen’s paintings convey multiple emotional and psychological states, revealing a subject whose lack of specificity tends toward the allegorical rather than the representational.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[One might think it easier to photographically reproduce a recent monochromatic painting by John Griefen than a 50’s painting by Ad Reinhardt, as the acrylic paint on a Griefen is textured and thick in contrast to Reinhardt’s matte application. But both Reinhardt and Griefen defy reproduction, and that is just one of the things they have in common. Both demand that the viewer powerfully and authentically engage the actual painting, and both are inextricably bound to the physical act of painting.

This physicality is probably why Griefen prefers a motorcycle to a car, his rustic home in Northern France to Brooklyn, or wine to water. Life is lived fully in the art of John Griefen, and the viewer can sense this in front of his paintings.

Griefen has been showing in New York City since the 1960s, with numerous exhibitions at Kornblee Gallery, Salander-O’Reilly Galleries, and others. His work is in major public and private collections, and has been discussed by writers as diverse as Rosalind Krauss (Artforum, 1969) Hilton Kramer (NY Times, 1973) and Terry Fenton, 1981. Gary Snyder/Project Space is pleased to present its first exhibition of John Griefen’s paintings.

  <Description><![CDATA[Amelie Chabannes continues her investigation into the monumental topic of identity. “Vast” follows her 2008 exhibition at Luxe Gallery entitled “My Portrait of Your Identity”. With the current title, the artist is front and center concerning the scope of her limitless topic. Vast conjures up endless vistas, the great sun lit expanse. Chabannes describes, “vast” as directly referring to Baudelaire, whose use of this word imparted the “immensity of the intimate”, which the artist molds and coaxes into the “intensity of the intimate being”. In this exhibition, as in 2008, Chabannes places herself in the hotspot of her inquiries, as well as, taking the view from the outside and often intermingling the two, allowing the viewer a glimpse at the vacillating, vague and often counterintuitive aspects of defining the individual. Chabannes employs sculpture, drawing, video and installation in her entangled enterprise. ]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[This presentation takes Matthew Day Jackson’s print Metamorphosis as an inspiration to present new unique works on paper created by Golnar Adili, Shana Agid, Rachel Beach, Sandra Chi, Erin Diebboll, and Sadie Weis. Borrowing a phrase from Ralph Ellison’s Invisible Man for its title, &quot;out of the chaos and darkness…&quot; presents prints that investigate the ever-changing concept of the American Experience and the American Dream. Starting with Matthew Day Jackson’s artwork Metamorphosis, the artists in the exhibition use several printmaking mediums and a range of materials to address our complex connections to mythology, history, and society. Overall the exhibition conveys an overarching sense of transition and metamorphosis that characterize our current place in the world.

  <Description><![CDATA[The content of Edwin Ushiro’s work is as richly layered as the works themselves. Influenced by the memories and folklore of his childhood in Hawaii and with nods to Japanese Anime, he creates his own mythology populated with modern characters and contemporary references. With &quot;At Night, Lights Fell and Loved Ones Returned Home,&quot; Ushiro utilizes his technique of layering paint, ink, graphite, varnish and iron transfers on vinyl sheets to create romantic, luminescent works that focus on the mystery, and histories, held by abandoned and forgotten places.

  <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[For his fifth solo exhibition at Max Protetch, Manglano-Ovalle will present a major new sculpture. Inspired by the materials and design of Mies van der Rohe's unbuilt House with Four Columns (or 50x50 House, 1951), the sculpture functions as a working fish tank. Both elegant and menacing, the work demonstrates the artist's continuing interest in producing objects whose physical intensity is capable of posing probing critical questions about the times in which we live. ]]></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[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[Brüggemann explores a variety of mediums including sculpture, video, painting, and drawing. He frequently employs text, demonstrating a pop aesthetic while maintaining a critical attitude towards the sociological context from which it is derived. For this exhibition, Brüggemann presents Headlines &amp; Last Line in the Movies, a site-specific installation that covers the gallery walls with mirrored panels. On these mirrors, written with spray paint, are a list of recent newspaper headlines and a selection from the final dialogue of dramatic movies. A series of fluorescent light sculptures mounted upon the ceiling by Brüggemann illuminates the exhibition. Myriad contrasts and communalities are revealed within this work. Brüggemann selects text from both newspapers and the cinema, therefore juxtaposing reality and fiction. Both movies and the news are important reflections of our culture that not only influence, but also manipulate the public’s comprehension of society. To the artist, the text of Headlines &amp; Last Line in the Movies function as maxims, seducing our innermost unconscious.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[In the past, John Himmelfarb--the Chicago born, bred and based working artist--  has occasionally incorporated truck imagery in his work, usually in an ancillary role, or as a single character in larger, more complicated pieces. In more recent years, he has been using the image of a truck as the central organizing principle in his paintings, drawings, prints, and now in sculpture. The latter comprise the predominate work in this exhibition at Luise Ross Gallery.
 
In Himmelfarb’s world--somewhere between abstraction and figuration—the three bronzes, one large plywood sculpture, and the one wall-filling painting in the show are clearly identifiable as trucks. Rather rickety and tired from countless trips and loads, perhaps, but Himmelfarb captures the very essence of trucks. And with artistic wit and inventiveness in the line and form of his depiction, the truck imagery morphs into almost human physical attributes and attitudes in the viewer’s imagination. The artist’s titles for some of the pieces—“Fortitude,” “Knowledge,” “Perseverance”—suggest human virtues dating to the Aristotelian and Platonic tradition, and are clues to his intended anthropomorphism.
 
And what do trucks do? They carry stuff, and Himmelfarb’s are loaded. Perhaps a truck aficionado other than the artist will recognize a crane arm at rest, or the suggestion of a crank shaft, but most viewers will be content to categorize the cargo as a collection of forms suggestive of impedimenta, of “stuff” acquired and accumulated over time and experience, just in case. And for the Heads out there, it’s OK to assume that Himmelfarb’s wonderful work in this exhibition is a fitting nod of homage to “Truckin’.”

  <Description><![CDATA[Hunter College presents Beyond Participation: Hélio Oiticica and Neville D’Almeida in New York. The collaboration between renowned Brazilian artists Hélio Oitica and Nevielle D’Almeida from the late 1960s though the 1970s changed how audiences perceived art, shifting them from passive viewers to active participants. Exhibited for the first time together, the slide-show environment Cosmococa—Programa in progress, CC1 Trashiscapes (1973)is shown alongside D’Almeida’s film Jardim de Guerra (1967), as well as two of Oiticica’s notebooks from 1973 reproduced in facsimile. The dynamic installation CC1 Trashiscapes comprises two projectors flashing 32 slide-photographs onto opposing gallery walls, accompanied by a soundtrack including forró music (typically from the Northeast of Brazil) such as Luis Gonzaga’s baião, Jimi Hendrix songs, street sounds, and voices. Mattresses line the floor, and nail files are available for use by visitors. The audience is invited to relax and recline horizontally while filing their nails in the dark as they watch the images on the surrounding walls.The slides themselves consist of three distinct photographic series: Luis Buñuel’s face on the cover of the New York Times Magazine, a series of black-and-white photographs of Luis Fernando Guimarães (an actor and friend of Oiticica) wearing Parangolé 30 Capa 23 M’Way Ke, and the album cover for Weasels Ripped My Flesh by Frank Zappa and The Mothers of Invention, all manipulated with white line of cocaine by the artists’. This work is an important progenitor of early video and installation art and influenced subsequent generations of artists tremendously.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[This is the first time I am exhibiting an African-American group of artists. My gallery has exhibited black artists over the years in group shows. Many galleries have never shown them. The public should be made aware of good art whoever does it. 
The artists in this exhibition are truly masters of Abstraction. The black art movement was helped by the W.P.A., the G. I. Bill (after WWII) and the Civil Rights movement. With all that, most artists had to go to Europe to paint and sell – similar to the jazz musicians of that era. Many of these artists did show in the fifties and early sixties but like all abstract artists, they were eclipsed by the Pop and Minimal movements. Today, many galleries are showing younger artists of all races. This group of first and second generation black artists has fallen through the cracks and should not be forgotten.

  <Description><![CDATA[In this exhibition, Patricia Smith presents a series of drawings that re-create the physical space within the mind, mapping ideas and thoughts, giving a logical designation on paper to the intangible. Elusive concepts become concrete under the hand of Smith as she delicately lays out paths and constructions, marking these thoughts like territories. The language Patricia Smith uses clarifies desires and creates a foundation for imaginative thinking to flourish.

Emily Roz’s new works in this show captivate the viewer with images of core animalistic behaviors in feeding. Roz investigates this most basic primitive directive, with stunning depictions of wild animals in seemingly native habitats, revealed as illusion, with  
her insertion of domestic floral. These works display the incongruity within wild, natural impulses and the human desire to cultivate beauty, with the propagation of plant-life.

Thomas Broadbent, known for his large-scale sculptural installations, presents new works on paper that explore existentialistic ideas through trompe l’oeil representations of seemingly unrelated objects and scenes. These works stride between illusion and metaphor to consider the physical reality of each piece and its representative elements. Broadbent’s detailed watercolors and drawings question the utility of each component when presented in such a manner to disengage and re-present their perceived use.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[This small-focus show from the Museum’s permanent collection features the 1971 mural-size collage The Block by Romare Bearden (American, 1911–1988), as well as a dozen of his preliminary sketches and photographs, which were recently given to the Museum and are being shown for the first time. As a group, they reveal the artist’s creative process whereby he literally and figuratively &quot;collages&quot; different images and experiences from reality and from his memory and imagination into a tableau that transcends the limitations of a fixed time and place, even as it pays homage to a specific street in Harlem, the New York City neighborhood that inspired so much of Bearden’s work.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[The Edward Thorp Gallery will present Charles W. Hutson, A Survey Exhibition. Charles W. Hutson was a teacher, writer, and painter born in1840 in McPhersonville, South Carolina, who died in 1936 in New Orleans. This exhibit will examine this Southern, self-taught artist who in refusing training pursued his own direction in art.  Spending much of his time sketching in New Orleans and along the Mississippi coast, he developed an expressive and luminous style in pastels, watercolor and later in oils.

The son of a lawyer, Hutson had his own legal ambitions but which were thwarted by the Civil War and the ensuing political and economic climate of the South. After graduating from South Carolina College, he served as a private in the confederate army. He became a casualty in the first battle of Bull Run, in 1861 and was captured in the battle of Seven Pines in 1862. At the end of the war, he turned to academia. He taught in numerous Southern colleges for 60 years, wrote books and contributed to many periodicals. His art was influenced by his many experiences and adventures across the nineteenth century South, building on his family’s long history in South Carolina.

Hutson came to art late. It wasn’t until the age of 65, that he decided to focus on his artistic pursuits. He had begun sketching in pastel while teaching in Texas in 1905. However, it was not until his retirement that he became serious about painting turning to his surroundings in New Orleans for inspiration. An amateur botanist, his love of nature is apparent in his work. His professional scholarship in Greek, French, Latin, literature, history and philosophy can be seen as well in his series of paintings based on subjects from the Bible and the Classics.  Critically acclaimed his work has been described as both modernist and primitive, his oeuvre is immediately engaging reflecting both his dedication and vision. Hutson had an innate sense for the rudimentary quality of line, form and color and demonstrated an uncanny facility for abstracting landscape. His work renders the atmosphere of the South with great precision, reflecting both its light and humidity.

He exhibited in local and southern art galleries, and memorial exhibitions have taken place in New York, New Orleans, Houston, Baltimore and Richmond. His works can be found in the Phillips Collection, the New Orleans Museum of Art, Mint Museum of Art, and the Telfair Academy of Arts and Sciences. He was included in “They Taught Themselves” by Sidney Janis published in 1942.]]></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
performances.]]></Description>

Although the photographs appear to freeze Jones's spontaneous motion, they were actually carefully staged by Tseng. As in many of his other photographic series - East Meets West and The Expeditionary Self-Portrait Series for example - these works depict Tseng's thoughtfully composed and often playful investigations of truth, fiction and identity.]]></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[LARRY ZOX: PAINTINGS includes key paintings from the late artist’s personal collection, including rare works from the Round Centers and Loops Series.  
 
Represented in nearly every major museum in the country, Larry Zox achieved art world prominence in 1973 as the subject of a major retrospective at the Whitney Museum of American Art. Zox’s signature style – the splicing of a color field to give the sensation of shifting planes was pivotal in his early collage paintings, and evolved into the graceful looping patterns of his later work. The paintings on view in this exhibition reveal the individualism and brio that are the hallmarks of Zox’s contribution to American art.  
 
Arriving in New York as a young man, Zox quickly emerged as a talented master of painting and a gifted colorist. Those were the heady days of the 60’s and 70’s when artists from across the arts jostled one another in the bawdy, boozy, smoky atmosphere of art bars such as Max’s Kansas City. Zox distinguished himself among artists who sought to analyze painting as a thing in itself and to experiment with the reductive purity of color, line, and form. 
 
In its heyday, Zox’s studio on 20th Street was known as a colorful gathering place for artists, jazz musicians, bikers, and boxers. His love of jazz may have influenced his work. Critic Peter Schjeldahl wrote of Zox’s early paintings in the New York Times: “the result of such lavish, daring execution, within straightened circumstances, is a feeling of improvisation and fortuitous balance something like that of jazz. Maybe Mondrian, in attempting ‘Broadway Boogie-Woogie,’ was dreaming of Zox.” 
  
In 2005 the exhibition Larry Zox: Five Decades at Stephen Haller Gallery returned Zox’s name to prominence. New York Times art critic Grace Glueck hailed the exhibition as “a welcome return for Mr. Zox.” Art in America’s Edward Leffingwell wrote of his early work in the show: “Zox’s geometric abstractions of the 1960’s are as probing and engaging today as they ever were.” Of his 2006 exhibition New York Sun critic John Goodrich wrote: “the painting brims with arguments about symmetry and its violations.&quot; There is a sense of energy, freshness, vitality in the work that is palpable. Distinguished art critic Peter Schjeldahl characterized this quality as Zox’s “exuberant sensibility.”

  <Description><![CDATA[An artist of prominence in New York from the mid-1910s through the 1930s, Allen Tucker elicited inordinate respect from his peers for his integrity and broad-mindedness as well as for the creative versatility of his art, which critic Virgil Barker commended in 1928 for its “robust plentitude.” Including oils, and several watercolors, this exhibition showcases the variety and individuality of Tucker’s art, placing him within the unfolding of modernism in this country. Born in Brooklyn, Tucker studied architecture at Columbia University. In 1895, after working as a draftsman under Richard Morris Hunt, Tucker began his own architectural firm, with Alexis Reed McIlvane. About the same time, he also pursued his passion for art, studying at the Art Students League, where his mentor was John Twachtman. After McIlvane’s death in 1904, Tucker left architecture behind for painting. Spending summers abroad, mostly in France, he fraternized with other American artists, including Robert Henri, whose portrait he painted in the Brittany town of Concarneau. In 1908 he was among the first artists to show at the Whitney Studio Club, exhibiting with George Bellows, Jo Davidson, Henri, Ernest Lawson, and others. He played a significant role in the organization of the Armory Show of 1913, taking part in planning meetings and heading the Catalogue Committee. After the show, he was included in exhibitions at Montross Gallery, one of the first American galleries to respond positively to the new and innovative art. His first solo exhibitions were both in 1914, at Montross and the Memorial Art Gallery, Rochester. Tucker also served as unpaid advisor to Juliana Force, the curator of the Whitney Studio Club, the precursor to the Whitney Museum of American Art. When a memorial show of Tucker’s work was held at the Whitney in 1939, Force recalled Tucker as a man “whose faultless taste in art and inexhaustible sympathy with the problems of his fellow artists led to an association of many years, wherein his wisdom and understanding were of the greatest value in the development of those ideas which resulted in the formation of this museum.” Tucker was described similarly by his champion, Forbes Watson, art critic for the New York Evening Post and the New York World. Writing several articles and a book on Tucker, Watson unfailingly supported Tucker as an artist who fearlessly sought just the right means to express his personal and emotional responses to his subjects. This is borne out in both the diversity of Tucker’s subject matter and his willingness to change his stylistic handling from one work to the next. His admiration for the art of van Gogh, which led to his reputation as “the Vincent of America,” can be seen both in the rhythmic directness of his brushwork and in the way that his feelings drove his expression.

  <Description><![CDATA[This exhibition understands art in a very mundane sense as a source of solace. It is committed to the mildly intoxicating character of beauty and the inebriating quality of alcohol and embraces the baser genres of still life and decoration. The show comprises two perspectives. One addresses the topic of solace in a contemplative movement revolving around objects, video, and painting. The other focuses on the headier consolations of inebriation and intoxication. The exhibition at the Austrian Cultural Forum is supplemented by a series of performances and events taking place in different locations throughout the city, each bringing up a form of solace, be it meditative or delirious.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Encompassing more than one hundred objects drawn from the Brooklyn Museum’s world-renowned holdings of ancient Egyptian art, including some of the greatest masterworks of the Egyptian artistic heritage, To Live Forever explores the Egyptians’ beliefs about life, death, and the afterlife; the process of mummification; the conduct of a funeral; and the different types of tombs—answering questions at the core of the public’s fascination with ancient Egypt.

Two of the primary cultural tenets through thousands of years of ancient Egyptian civilization were a belief in the afterlife and the view that death was an enemy that could be vanquished. To Live Forever features objects that illustrate a range of strategies the ancient Egyptians developed to defeat death, including mummification and various rituals performed in the tomb. The exhibition reveals what the Egyptians believed they would find in the next world and contrasts how the rich and the poor prepared for the hereafter. The economics of the funeral are examined, including how the poor tried to imitate the costly appearance of the grave goods of the rich in order to ensure a better place in the afterlife.

Each section of the exhibition contains funeral equipment for the rich, the middle class, and the poor. The visitor will be able to compare finely painted wood and stone coffins made for the rich with the clay coffins the poor made for themselves; masterfully worked granite vessels with clay vessels painted in imitation; and gold jewelry created for the nobles with faience amulets fashioned from a man-made turquoise substitute. Objects on view include Female Figurine—one of the oldest preserved statues from all Egyptian history and a signature Brooklyn Museum object; a painted limestone relief of Queen Neferu; a gilded, glass, and faience mummy cartonnage of a woman; the elaborately painted shroud of Neferhotep; a gilded mummy mask of a man; and a gold amulet representing the human soul.

  <Description><![CDATA[In his third exhibition at Virgil de Voldère Gallery, Shih Chieh Huang introduces us to Pepe and Popcorn, two new creatures in his resplendent cosmic sculptural ecosystem. Resembling magical sea anemones and pulsating bioluminescent jellyfish, these works, with their categorically nonorganic parts, also evoke clunky interstellar spacecrafts. Hung like baroque chandeliers, Pepe and Popcorn-which are constantly clicking, bleeping, turning, whirring, whistling, bubbling, and breathing-seem curious and alive. What are they so excited about? Are they chatting with each other in some kind of creaky, squeaky robotic language, passing time in the gallery with idle conversation? It sometimes feels as if they're looking at us, perhaps in the same inquisitive way we gaze upon them. Are Pepe and Popcorn trying to speak to us?

As two vast, extreme locations with seemingly endless possibilities for exploration, the deep sea and outer space have much in common. Art is a third region of tremendous imaginative discovery. Combining all three, Huang the artist plays both the Jacques Cousteau explorer (he held a recent residency at the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History studying ocean life) and the amateur rocket scientist. To build his works, he rummages though the Electric Towns of Japan and Taiwan-districts of shops selling all sorts of electronics, toys, gadgets, and circuitry-while also scouring the Internet for ordinary household devices. Garage-door openers, miniature fans, timers from Christmas lights: he acquires such things only to pick them apart and repurpose them completely. The moving parts and deceptively simple technologies that bring Huang's works to life look fresh and significant in the face of slick digital movies or high-end electronics.

Viewers and critics have connected Huang's use of plastic bags and bottles to a stance on ecology or environmentalism-understandably so, as his work looks like the miraculous spawn of an aquatic invertebrate and the refuse from the fabled plastic continent floating in the Pacific Ocean. Yet he actually chooses his bottle from the grocery shelf, not the recycling bin, and he's interested in the aesthetic value of its shape and design. (Likewise, he also requests his bags new from the store, often befuddling the cashier.) Huang removes the object from its normal circulation and transforms it in a way that eclipses its utilitarian origins.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Dhruvi Acharya divulges the secrets of an inner psyche brimming with deep affection and concern for modern city life. GASP indicates her response to the complex navigation of matters pertaining to humanity, technology and the environment. Her female protagonists simultaneously navigate artifacts of Indian miniatures and modern Mumbai living. Each woman grapples with the physical aspects of her body and/or image. Some women are large carrying child, others fat from consumption. Other women are starved of oxygen in a polluted environment or deflated in appearance for emotional complexities. Dhruvi has a unique working process that incorporates collage and multiple layers of synthetic polymer paint to create a resin like surface with opulent depth.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[The Hunter College Art Galleries are pleased to present Smoke+Mirrors/Shadows+Fog, an exhibition featuring 16 international artists whose use low-tech means to create astonishing and stirring illusions.  The intricate and elaborate works on view conjure deliberate deceptions (“smoke and mirrors”) and naturally occurring illusions (“shadows and fog”).  Although these works would seem to lend themselves to the digitized special effects and technology readily available today, this select group of artists tends to prefer age-old techniques such as trompe l’oeil painting, shadow play, and mirror anamorphosis. 

Several of the artists in Smoke+Mirrors/Shadows+Fog employ shadow, reflection, smoke, and even gravitational pull to create substantive permanent artworks.  For example, Jim Dingilian (whose latest works will be on view for the first time at the Hunter College/Times Square Gallery) captures smoke residue in empty liquor bottles and then uses Q-tips and toothpicks to draw detailed dimensional landscapes on the inside of the transparent glass.  Other artists included in the exhibition represent space, distance and dimensionality so convincingly that they seemingly dematerialize solid architecture (in a few cases the gallery walls themselves).  This phenomenon is epitomized in Sarah Oppenheimer’s site-specific installation—a custom-designed aperture fit directly into the gallery’s entrance wall which effectively distorts the depth of field so that the adjacent space appears flat, like a projected image.

  <Description><![CDATA[This exhibition celebrates the development of new styles and themes in American art during the 1930s and 1940s, a time when the American Scene movement evolved into a national art form that described and critiqued America's unique culture. To be accessible to all classes of Americans, realism was the language of the American Scene artists who fit into three distinct groups: Regionalists, Urban Realists, and Social Realists. This exhibition focuses exclusively on Regionalism, exploring the evolution of its style and content during the 1930s and 1940s.

  <Description><![CDATA[SUPERFLEX is a Danish collective, founded in 1993 by Bjørnstjerne Christiansen, Jakob Fenger, and Rasmus Nielsen. The group has gained worldwide recognition for their projects that deal with such issues as financial and economic markets, democratic production conditions, self-organization, and environmentalism. SUPERFLEX bases their international projects on what they describe as “counter- economic strategies,” which aim to question power structures, agency and ownership by prodding at their limitations.

The exhibition Flooded McDonald’s comprises three of SUPERFLEX’s most recent film projects. In Flooded McDonald's (2009), the centerpiece of the show, a meticulously reconstructed true-to-life replica of the interior of a McDonald's restaurant gradually floods with water - no customers or staff are present. Slowly, the water level rises until eventually the space becomes completely submerged. The 21-minutes film is not a specific critique of McDonald’s or the workings of a multinational company, but instead examines the consequences of consumerism. While the film remains open to interpretation it touches on such issues as climate change and natural disasters.

  <Description><![CDATA[This three-person exhibition features a selection of paintings and drawings from Rita Ackermann, Jeff Elrod and Jason Fox. When viewed collectively the work exposes a dichotomy between dominant color use in modernist painting and the humanism of sympathetic painterly concern.

  <Description><![CDATA[Thomas Erben Gallery presents Animate Matter, an exhibition of works by Pia Maria Martin, Dona Nelson, Richard Staub and Rose Wylie. Although from vastly different generations, all four artists are seemingly entrenched in their chosen medium, animating with their available tools and formal vocabularies the materiality and (art) historical references in order to engage the viewer in ways of looking at what ought to be inanimate objects. One can sense a pleasure for drawn-out process and aesthetic experimentation in the work of the participating artists.

In her stop-motion animation For Olga, Pia Maria Martin brings to life random objects strewn throughout an abandoned office building. Like in her earlier works, the empty rooms, closed off from public view, do not only become the site of production but source of inspiration for a play-a make-believe-taking place on the stage it offers. The eerie, while witty result is a guided tour through animated spaces, infusing the film with a personality rather than a narrative.

Dona Nelson's paintings, many of which have moved off the wall into the space of the room, possess a similar quality of the animated inanimate object. The images moving across the face (and back) of her paintings-far from being purely material-are charged with imaginative implications that never supercede their factual material reality: the canvas, the paint, the stretcher, the glued cloth and stitched cord. Nelson's paintings overrule the distinctions implied in the words: imagination / image / materiality.

The works assembled by Richard Staub repurpose the ordinary of everyday life in ways that simultaneously suggest fetish objects, Dior's New Look, baroque tableaux and memento mori. Suspended from the ceiling or fixed to the wall, these combinations of packing tape, paper, foil, and plastic bags stand in for different pneuma. Their very materiality gives them gravity and evokes states of energy that extend from stasis to an errant dynamism. By gathering, spray painting, compressing and tearing, Staub gives his material an immediate presence, pinning his work to the viewer's world.

British artist Rose Wylie captures in her drawings our preconceptions of the world by replacing them with childhood-like wonder. These could be hilarious and silly, or anxious and nightmarish - but always subjective, informal and direct. Her quirky drawings are richly associative, mixing numerous different and often clashing source materials that fuse ancient, modern and contemporary references into a bold and gutsy whole.

  <Description><![CDATA[The textual reference of the title functions as a kind of third term for the installation as a whole. There is in this work something of the intimacy of books: the material and atmospheric presence of (a) text. We find a drip or a tear, for instance, that breaks the frame in his photograph of an Yves Klein catalogue, so as to perhaps spring a leak in the subject.
Taking the appearance of an Ellsworth Kelly or even an inkjet print, deconstructed and parsed into its pure values, the colors in MK, PK, LK, LLK, C, M, LC, LM, Y remain representations of the printer's palette. Frantz commands his printer to print each cartridge-color fully aware that it will mix several, if not all of the inks at the machine's disposal, to print the very colors contained in each cartridge. As such, each color contains the trace of all the others. It is just another image.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[New York-based artist Amy Granat draws from the legacy of experimental and abstract filmmaking to create new approaches in 16mm film and video at the limits of personal and narrative cinema. Using Paul Bowles’ novel The Sheltering Sky as a point of departure for this exhibition, she creates an immersive environment of projected images, which substitute the narrative thrust of literary fiction with a more subtle exploration of character and place through landscape, light, and gesture.

  <Description><![CDATA[Featuring approximately one hundred works, this exhibition explores Picasso’s creative process through the medium of printmaking, tracing his development from the early years of the twentieth century, with depictions of itinerant circus performers in the Blue and Rose periods, to his discovery of Cubism. It follows his evolving artistic vision through decades of experimentation in etching, lithography, and linoleum cut, demonstrating how each technique inspired new directions in his work. The exhibition focuses on specific themes, showing how Picasso’s imagery went through a constant process of metamorphosis. Printmaking, in particular, allows this fundamental aspect of his art to become vividly clear, since various stages in building a composition can be documented. One series of lithographs shows Picasso progressing, step-by-step, from a realistic depiction of a bull to one that is completely abstracted into schematic lines. Other series reveal changing interpretations of the women in Picasso’s life, as they become the subject of his art and a catalytic force behind his creativity.

  <Description><![CDATA[More than almost any other German painter, Otto Dix (1891-1969) and his works have profoundly influenced the popular notion of the Weimar Republic. His paintings were among the most graphic visual representatives of  that period, exposing with unsparing and wicked wit the instability and contradictions of the time.

The exhibition includes more than 100 masterpieces by Otto Dix, and addresses four themes. The first is Dix’s traumatic experiences as a soldier in World War I. The second is portraiture, a genre at which the artist excelled. The third is sexuality, a key theme in the Dix oeuvre. The fourth is religious and allegorical painting. The show includes the work that Dix is best know for—paintings from the so-called “golden Weimar years”—but to contextualize them, it also includes Dix’s work from the early 1920s, as well as his later work, produced as veiled protest against the Third Reich.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[&quot;Tehran- New York&quot; surveys work by 40 well-known and emerging contemporary Iranian artists – including artists living in New York and the United States such as Shoja Azari, Shiva Ahmadi, Negar Ahkami, Shirin Neshat and Y.Z. Kami – as well as the work of artists currently living in Tehran, such as Reza Derakshani, Shadi Ghadirian and Farideh Lashai.  A significant portion of the work has never been shown in the U.S.
Through paintings, drawings, sculpture, photography, installation, and video painting, TEHRAN - NEW YORK will explore synergies and differences among the work of Iranian artists living in Iran and the U.S.  The exhibition does not aim to define Iranian art, but rather to examine the unique visions that exist among Iranian artists, while encouraging a much-needed place for dialogue.  However great the distance, there are always loose ties that unite these artists across the globe.  While many of the artists tackle the same political and social issues, the result is hugely varied due to the different perspectives of the geographically dispersed group.

  <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[This exhibition of large-scale oil paintings explores the history of “bad boys” in underground art and as an agent of culture in New York City.

From the flamboyance of a wild-style bombed train pulling into a subway station in the 80s to a haunting red opium den from Chinatown in the 1880s, Rosson explores the rebellious and lawless side of New York City history. Rendered in hallucinatory layers of oil paints and washes, her theatrical confabulations collapse centuries and synthesize styles to reveal the multiply haunted nature of interior space and the affinities that align across time.

Large and in charge, one painting features a superimposition of the stained glass windows of gothic Bowery Mission onto the interior of its odd Bowery neighbor, the New Museum; a second pairs a vintage New York City sex club, Plato’s Retreat, with the new Andre Balazs’ Boom Boom Room and a Bruce Nauman neon; a third adorns a 1800s barber shop with 80s Allen Ruppersburg texts from the MoMA in bold Brillo Box (and Deitch) colors. Some canvasses straightforwardly conjure the artist’s imagining of “bad boy” dens or lairs without the historical hybridization: Kenny Scharff’s black light disco Cosmic Cavern, Dash Snow and Dan Colen’s NEST exhibition at Deitch Projects, or Keith Haring’s more child-friendly Pop Shop.

Rosson has always shown a marked interest in masculine spaces; she has previously painted saloons, gun shops, oil derricks, rodeos, stock market floors, and many incidents in the arguably male-dominated tradition of modern art. Here she imaginatively explores the idea of the “bad boy” as fawned over by art audiences and celebrated in New York City history. How has a spirit of illegality and rebellious youth shaped the New York City cultural landscape? Gangs, graffiti, gays, drugs and illicit sex are part of the city’s spirit but also a big part of the art world today. How has New Yorkers’ love for this spirit shaped the history of art and exhibitions today? The cultural moment in underground New York when hip-hop met graffiti met the east village scene in the 80s led to an art explosion of interdisciplinary activity. Many of these paintings explore that moment and its legacy for artists working right now.

The canvasses themselves are big, bold, and unabashedly entertaining. As philosophically minded as Rosson may be, she is certainly not afraid to be sexy and fun. The scale and flung paint may be visually very macho, but the paintings are ladylike as well; and Rosson is the type of feminist who sees “ladylike” as the compliment that it is. Her frank, punk, post-gender attack is more personal than political, and more imaginative than expository; or in simpler terms, more badass.

This exhibition has a bit of a self-reflexive feel as well, as the history of Deitch Projects is aligned with the cultural trends explored in Rosson’s paintings. Jeffrey Deitch is an instrumental figure in maintaining and shaping the legacies of the 80s Rosson addresses, and the current position of Deitch Projects as exhibiting and supporting the current generation of rebellious youth and underground art from this lineage is very much in the forefront of Rosson’s mind. By exploring these themes in paint Rosson claims them for her own as well, loves and hates aspects of them, but paints herself into the discussion nonetheless.

Rosson Crow is a young lady from Texas living in New York City via Los Angeles and Paris. A contemporary hybrid version of a traditional history painter, Rosson moved to the New York City for six months to research and execute this exhibition. Her shows often relate to the history of the city in which they are exhibited: a Paris show at Nathalie Obadia featured the gardens of Versailles, Fontainebleau and the Loire chateaux crossed with Las Vegas casino floors; a Los Angeles show at Honor Fraser Gallery featured famous LA architecture and Dwight Yoakam; while her last exhibition, Texas Crude, at White Cube in London, focused belching black oil rigs in Texas and Francis Bacon butcher shops. This exhibition will be accompanied by a catalogue.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[This exhibition of ancient and traditional Vietnamese art demonstrates the role of Vietnam as an important hub of cultural and commercial interchange from the prehistoric period in the first millennium BCE through the nineteenth century. Although Viet Nam has been an important part of United States history in the 20th century, the country’s rich artistic and cultural heritage remains largely unknown.  As long as two thousand years ago, a maritime trade route extended from southern China to Roman-controlled ports in the Persian Gulf and Red Sea, via ports in what is now northern Vietnam, Southeast Asia, Sri Lanka, India, Pakistan and Iran. As a result of this exchange, Vietnam developed unique art objects with connections to China, India, and other cultures of Southeast Asia. The exhibition will include approximately 115 spectacular examples selected from Vietnamese museums conveying the country’s impressive artistic developments and attesting to its importance in the cultural development of Southeast Asia. Objects range from early burial goods and large bronze ritual drums to gold jewelry with precious stones, Hindu and Buddhist stone sculptures, and beautifully decorated ceramics. A full-color catalogue will accompany the exhibition.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Harris Lieberman presents The Demon of Noontide, the first U.S. solo exhibition of Danish artist Simon Dybbroe Møller. In his latest body of work, Møller addresses the fallacy of progress - particularly as it underlies the avant-gardist paradigm of artistic development and the unrelenting pace of technological advancement. The artist's paintings, performance, and videos signal neither a celebration nor a critique of progress, but rather by foregrounding their conceptual and process-based iterations, introduce a cyclical alternative to this dominant model.

Three films in the back gallery follow the exhibition's recurring character as he engages in mundane tasks like driving a car, working in the office and retrieving an article of clothing from a dry cleaning carousel. In lieu of diegetic audio, a string quartet accompanies these videos by precisely imitating every sound produced by the featured machinery. While bringing to mind a whole array of films either made in celebration or critique of technological progress, this &quot;symphony of machines&quot; instead merely exhibits sensuality within monotony. With unapologetic neutrality, he short videos give us mechanized, fragmented and emptied time.
A new series of paintings span the walls of the main gallery, comprising inkjet prints of photographs of canvas that Møller has applied, with wallpaper paste, to actual canvases. As the paste and water sap colors from the printouts, Møller's brushstrokes gradually appear: functional marks that incidentally double as signs of expressive technique. Here the most commonly used machine for image reproduction - the household printer - becomes a chance producer of images of alchemic qualities.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[This exhibition of eighteen manuscripts illuminated in the area of Flanders in the southern Netherlands (today part of Belgium) celebrates the variety of styles from the last great flowering of Flemish illumination during the fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries. All &quot;Books of Hours,&quot; the manuscripts provide intriguing iconographic and stylistic points of comparison with miniatures from the Hours of Catherine of Cleves. The Morgan's rich holdings of Flemish illumination comprise examples by the major illuminators of this prolific period encompassing the late Middle Ages and early Renaissance. Included will be works by Lieven van Lathem and Willem Vrelant, two artists who collaborated with and were influenced by the Master of Catherine of Cleves.

  <Description><![CDATA[Pilgrimage and Buddhist Art is the first major exhibition of its kind devoted to the impact of Buddhist pilgrimage on Asia’s artistic production. It highlights approximately 120 objects of importance and extraordinary quality, including sculptures, paintings, prints, ritual implements, photographs, and maps. The objects, dating from the first to the twentieth century, will be on loan from museums and private collections in North America, and a number of the pieces have never been displayed publicly before. Pilgrims and pilgrimage inspired centuries of artistic production and its patronage influenced the development of visual culture in Asia. ]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[In One Hundred Drawings and Ostinatos Forsyth continues her documentation of historic sites of disaster. Instead of relying on images of spectacle, she has traveled to these places and documented things left behind. Fleeting presences—such as clouds floating overhead or wildflowers growing along the road—are the focus of this work. Using a process that is part requiem and part cathartic obsession, she translates these nearby presences into thousands of sinuous loops of undulating color, intricately cut and stacked paper flowers, and minute hand stitches to evoke ideas about memory, loss and grief.

In Text Work, Forsyth has scoured many old newspapers for written information. She has noted many poetic passages that conjure graphic images of their own. Punching quotes from these sources, which include eyewitness testimonies and first-hand accounts, into single sheets of white paper, Forsyth has left us with a lacey absence that provides a quiet counterpoint in this exhibition.

Seven historical disasters bind the work in Over &amp; Over including: The Tacoma Narrows Bridge Collapse, The Frank Slide, The Hoboken Pier Fire, The Ripple Rock Explosion, Hurricane Hazel, Great Fires of 1947, and The New Carissa Wreck. Forming a historical backdrop for the work, the narrative accounts of each event do not overshadow the work, rather they act as a counterpoint to her own experiences at each site. In this mediation between past and present, Forsyth’s work raises questions about the continued depiction of violence in media-driven documentation of historical events. ]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Laumann’s videos and works on paper twist and tease fact and fiction into poetic narratives, ripe with coincidences and odd associations. Using both appropriated and original content, he portrays extraordinary characters as they negotiate the historical and social forces that bear upon them. In this exhibition, Laumann combines videos and lithographs in a layered and playfully philosophical exploration of authorship and originality. He analyses both the drive to create and the drive to censor. His works use voice and language to wryly probe the possibilities of individual and collective agency.

Author and activist Helen Keller and the plagiarism controversy that followed the publication of her childhood short story The Frost King (1891) are central to Laumann’s video Kari &amp; Knut. Named after a Norwegian children’s game, it tells the story of a rebellious Iranian student who struggles against the authority of her doctrinaire professor. She defends Keller’s work and decries the effects of the plagiarism dispute upon Keller’s creative output. Re-editing a post-Revolutionary Iranian drama based on Sallinger’s Franny and Zooey with documentary footage of the denazification of Germany and sound by Swedish musician Dan-Ola Persson (who also created the music for Laumann’s acclaimed Berlinmuren), Laumann spins a complex web of connections about the transmission and policing of ideas.

In the screen-based video Duett (styrken i vår tro i en sang, i en sang), Laumann grapples with truth, fiction and memory: Donald Rumsfeld discusses “known knowns” and “unknown unknowns” in relation to Afghanistan, while Margaret Thatcher boldly defends the British sinking of the Argentine navy cruiser the General Belgrano. The original footage is reworked with Persson’s music added, and then repeated within a section of a large plasma screen that has been positioned on its side.

  <Description><![CDATA[Jonathan LeVine Gallery will celebrate its fifth anniversary with a commemorative group exhibition featuring exceptional and exemplary new works by forty artists who are either currently represented by the gallery or who have exhibited at the gallery in the past five years. Since 2005, Jonathan LeVine Gallery has been an important venue for Street Art (ephemeral work placed in public urban environments) and Pop Surrealism (work influenced by illustration, comic book art, and pop culture imagery). As such, the pieces in this exhibition—comprised of paintings, drawings, and sculptures—will be primarily figurative with a strong sense of narration.               
     
Artists in this exhibition have developed prominent creative voices for themselves as individuals, while also playing valuable roles within the historical context of the larger Street Art and/or Pop Surrealism movements. All of them have been influential in shaping the gallery’s program, creating work with a unique counter-culture point of view. In LeVine’s words: “I believe that my program represents a generational shift, and that the artists who I work with will continue to define the evolution of this genre.”

  <Description><![CDATA[The second porcelain factory in Europe able to make true porcelain in the manner of the Chinese was established in Vienna in 1718. Founded by Claudius Innocentius Du Paquier, the small porcelain enterprise developed a highly distinctive style that remained Baroque in inspiration throughout the history of the factory, which was taken over by the State in 1744. Du Paquier produced a range of tablewares, decorative vases, and small-scale sculpture that found great popularity with the Hapsburg court and the Austrian nobility. This exhibition charts the history of the development of the Du Paquier factory, setting its production within the historic and cultural context of Vienna in the first half of the eighteenth-century. The featured porcelain is drawn from both the Metropolitan Museum and the premier private collection of this material. ]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels brought his 18th century audience into worlds of radically different scale. The Liliputians and Brobdignagians unsettled their understandably common view that our human scale is the only one that counts, and revealed the underlying political powers involved in relationships of scale. Louise Barry's subtle and carefully crafted exhibition invites us to experience the vertigo of this kind of Swiftian voyage, but it also does more than this: Barry's target is the tension between power and intimacy. 

Being bigger means being more powerful, but also means losing access to certain spaces requiring a more delicate touch. Being smaller means being less noticeable, but also means a very different kind of power is created when noticed. The work in the show explores the way scale on both physical and psychological levels creates and distorts the possibility of &quot;magical&quot; encounters by, in Barry's words, &quot;communicating a sense of the large within the small, that simultaneously references the here and now and the immense unknown outside our immediate experience.&quot; Responding to a world in which bigger is brasher, where reality itself seems equated with the grand and gargantuan, Barry offers us unreality, imagination, and perhaps a tiny path to a more intimate engagement with the world around us.  ]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Lombard-Freid Projects presents Pictograms, Tala Madani’s third solo exhibition at the gallery, which premieres new paintings and animations by the Iranian born artist.

Interested in the complexities and histories related to how we read a painting, she obscures perceptions and veils meaning by transforming the symbols of written language into the subject of her darkly comic visual games.

The diversity of her painterly language takes on a new facet with this series in which she introduces a graffiti-like spray-paint technique. In some works, she makes a grid of sprayed ‘spotlights’ in order to highlight certain scenes of a narrative, while in others the spray creates a halo effect around the characters as a riff on the tradition of illuminated manuscripts.

Madani hints at important connections between power structures and language with Leviathan, one of the large canvases in the show, which depicts a giant whose body is constituted entirely of fluorescent nude male contortionists in the shapes of anatomically suggestive letters. Madani’s version of this biblical monster recalls the frontispiece of Thomas Hobbes’ seminal doctrine of the same title (1651), which portrays a crowned Leviathan (a personification of the Commonwealth) whose torso is made up of hundreds of smaller figures.

Another large-scale painting, Camo, with its composition of jumbled and interlocking ‘letter-people’, makes reference to Warhol’s iconic camouflage works, while with similar irony defeats the concept with its electric palette. With characteristic humor, the act of concealment is achieved by clothing the figures.

In Eye Exam, she renders the familiar vision chart entirely null with each letter already blurred, while in another smaller canvas, the efficacy and functionality of language is questioned as the letter ‘A’ pushes an empty wheelbarrow.

Madani’s latest stop-motion video animation, The Dancer, created by painting and repainting a single canvas, features a lone figure improvising dance moves ranging from ballet to hip-hop. With each movement, the dancer twists and bends into extreme positions, generating shapes that allude to the paintings in the show.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[&quot;I am fascinated by the many ways the American flag appears in our urban landscape. When I began work on this series I photographed a lot of flags. A neglected flag fading, tucked away in a window. Another hung prominently, proudly and yet incorrectly. A wind-torn one flying high above the city street that appeared to have been transported from a ship at sea. However, I soon realized that the most unique images were ones that I shot standing directly under the flags and looking straight up. By doing this, I removed almost all elements from the flag's surroundings, and transformed my subject from an icon into something more recognizable as say, a flower. Throughout this series, I have continued to capture the effects of wind and light as they change the flag.&quot; - Amadeo Lasansky ]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Charles Addams’s New York is an exhibition of original artworks by the legendary New Yorker cartoonist that capture Addams's quintessentially idiosyncratic and slyly subversive view of the city, depicting his signature macabre characters, twisted situations, and distorted reimaginings of the cityscape. The works in the exhibition include watercolors, preliminary pencil sketches, completed cartoons, and examples of published work from the cover of the New Yorker. The subjects are gleefully varied, ranging from charming to creepy; they include depictions of life on New York's subways and buses, in offices, department stores, museums, parks, streets, and homes.  A special section will look at the evolution of the creepy assemblage of characters who were dubbed &quot;the Addams Family&quot; as they developed as mainstays of Addams's cartoons, moving through the streets of his New York and adding to the sense of mischief and deviancy that characterized the world as he saw it]]></Description>
