  <Description><![CDATA[Due to installations in the Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Gallery, twelve bronze sculptures by Auguste Rodin have been installed in the Rubin Entrance Pavilion. This newly excerpted presentation of the Museum's large holdings by Rodin includes The Age of Bronze, a signature conception from the early years of the sculptor's career, as well as other works from his most significant commissions, including The Burghers of Calais, The Gates of Hell, and the Monument to Balzac. These casts came to the Brooklyn Museum through the generosity of Iris and B. Gerald Cantor.  ]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[The Brooklyn Museum has completed conservation work on its &quot;little&quot; Lady Liberty, a thirty-foot replica of the Bedloe's Island Statue of Liberty. The historic statue, which once adorned the Liberty Warehouse in Manhattan, is part of the Museum's permanent collection of New York City architectural pieces.
Since 1885, when the 151-foot original created by the French sculptor Frédéric-Auguste Bartholdi (1834–1904) was erected on Bedloe's Island, the colossal figure has inspired numerous smaller-scale replicas intended to echo the ideals of freedom, tolerance, and opportunity that it embodied for waves of immigrants arriving at Ellis Island. This thirty-foot replica was commissioned about 1900 by the Russian-born auctioneer William H. Flattau to sit atop his eight-story Liberty Warehouse (at 43 West 64th Street), then one of the highest points on Manhattan's Upper West Side. Flattau thus combined his entrepreneurial spirit with pride in the adopted country in which he had prospered.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[In April, 2003, the Brooklyn Museum completed the reinstallation of its world-famous Egyptian collection, a process that took ten years. Three new galleries joined the four existing ones that had been completed in 1993 to tell the story of Egyptian art from its earliest known origins (circa 3500 B.C.) until the period when the Romans incorporated Egypt into their empire (30 B.C.–A.D. 395). Additional exhibits illustrate important themes about Egyptian culture, including women's roles, permanence and change in Egyptian art, temples and tombs, technology and materials, art and communication, and Egypt and its relationship to the rest of Africa. More than 1,200 objects— comprising sculpture, relief, paintings, pottery, and papyri—are now on view, including such treasures as an exquisite chlorite head of a Middle Kingdom princess, an early stone deity from 2650 B.C., a relief from the tomb of a man named Akhty-hotep, and a highly abstract female terracotta statuette created over five thousand years ago.]]></Description>

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

  <Description><![CDATA[This installation will feature important works in all media from the modern design collection by some of the most renowned designers of the 20th century. A highlight will be the 1934 History of Navigation, a magnificent and monumental reverse-painted and gilt-glass mural by Jean Dupas (French, 1882–1964), made for the first-class salon of the French ocean liner Normandie. Visitors will also have the opportunity to view a number of recent acquisitions of more contemporary works, including Gaetano Pesce’s Black Rotation Vase (2005), the Gyre Lounge Chair (2006) by Zaha Hadid, and Dusasa II (2007), in found aluminum and copper wire, by El Anatsui. ]]></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[In the face of the social upheaval of the past few decades, the family has remained territory that is routinely explored in art. The intergenerational selection of work on view in this installation demonstrates that familial relationships continue to provide a rich source of artistic material, while the concept of the family has also been extended beyond blood ties to embrace larger groups or communities united by shared values, identities, lifestyles, or emotional needs. The artists express fluid definitions of the family and domesticity, drawing on experiences that are private and public, individual and communal. As members of a community that is both homegrown and globetrotting, many of the artists in this installation also transcend national boundaries, representing a new twenty-first-century breed that travels to create work in cities around the world.

Extended Family: Contemporary Connections highlights recent acquisitions and presents them alongside notable works that entered the collection over the past five decades. The Museum’s contemporary collecting focuses on art of the twenty-first century, which has seen the rise of Brooklyn as one of the most vibrant centers of cultural production in the world. Williamsburg, Greenpoint, and Dumbo—now established artists’ enclaves—have given way to Red Hook, Bed-Stuy, the Gowanus Canal, and Bushwick as frontiers that offer artists prospects for affordable studio spaces. The Brooklyn Museum has collected contemporary art since the mid-nineteenth century. Extended Family demonstrates the Museum’s continuing commitment to living artists and to collecting distinctive art of our time.

  <Description><![CDATA[P.S.1's second incarnation of the &quot;On-site&quot; wall installation series: Her Silhouette Returns (2009), by artist Chitra Ganesh. Ganesh is known for her expansive visual vocabulary that often references Bollywood films, comics/graphic novels, and iconic feminist imagery. 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 fall P.S.1 presents 2822 Records (PS1), 1987-2009, a site-specific floor-based installation of vinyl records by Christian Marclay.  Consisting entirely of 12-inch records of every musical genre and style, Marclay’s installation highlights the experiential qualities of music and vinyl recording by inviting visitors to walk on the artwork. Marclay’s installation highlights some of the most primal notions around music, namely volume, space, and physicality. As an example of viewer and audience participation, it highlights a seminal aspect of the upcoming exhibition 100 Years (version #1, ps1, nov 2009), drafting a  short history of actions, events, situations, happenings, and performances beginning with the Futurist Manifesto in 1909 until the present. Opening November 1.

  <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[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[Humor in all it's forms, including social satire, wordplay, games and jokes, has been an underlying theme in art throughout the 20th century. Dada's playfulness is the precursor of this thread, born as a response to the destruction wreaked on a global scale during WWI. Knock Knock explores how artists have drawn on this strategy, using humor as a hook to tackle more complex social, sexual, and political issues. The resulting historical exhibition, mounted over two venues, is superficially all farce, gaffs, puns and parody, and exposes the embedded tensions inherent in the work when the laughter dies down.

  <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[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[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[It's no secret there are a multitude of changes taking place within the art community. Today's fluctuating economy coupled with technology's ability to re-evaluate time, have ushered in new possibilities that reexamine how art is supported, shown and organized, while further providing the opportunity to question one’s role within this transitioning landscape.  It is with that spirit that The Gallery at (Le) Poisson Rouge is pleased to announce the opening of its forthcoming exhibition If All the World Were a Blackbird by Eco-minded, Hungarian-born, Brooklyn, NY-based installation artist EDINA TOKODI, for her first solo exhibition.
 
This installation also marks The Gallery at LPR's first collaboration with The Wooster Collective, known for its 2006 partnership The Spring Street Initiative. The selection of Tokodi and collaboration between LPR and the Wooster Collective highlights the notion that fine art, no longer limited to white box norms, can embrace a new art-viewing environ, while underscoring the widely held understanding that street art is no longer limited to outdoor spaces. For the forthcoming exhibition in the Gallery at (Le) Poisson Rouge, If All the World Were a Blackbird, Edina Tokodi, one of today's leading green graffiti artists, will create original installations, transferring her public sculptural moss graffiti pieces—most recently seen around New York City as subtle exclamation points amid the concrete—from street to scene. Bringing nature to a most unexpected atmosphere, and breaking long-held gallery norms, Tokodi will transform the Gallery at (Le) Poisson Rouge: a space hailed as a multi-media environment where fine art, music and revelry intersect. 
 
As a public artist, Edina Tokodi feels a sense of duty to draw attention to deficiencies in our everyday life. &quot;I think that our distance from nature is already a cliche...I believe that if everyone had a garden of their own to cultivate, we would have a much more balanced relation to our territories,&quot; says Tokodi. &quot;Of course,&quot; she continues &quot;a garden can be many things.&quot; Her site-specific installations are inspired by Japanese Zen gardens and informed by the space's environs, whether organic or man-made; often sheathed in steel, glass, pavement and stone and providing an unavoidable contrast to its surroundings. Surrounded by their contrasting atmosphere, Tokodi's installations invite interaction, thus reclaiming the bond with nature. Unlike the market-driven art featured in sterile, white box galleries, Tokodi's is meant to be to be touched, felt, and organically effect the audience. Her animated installations playfully call to mind a more familiar, environmentally friendly state, breaking cold urban norms.  
 
As a result of this exact notion, and influenced by a variety of textures, experiences, meetings, and readings, Tokodi's work gets reinvigorated, and herself inspired yet again to create. Whether walking the streets of New York City or interacting with its landmarks; in this circumstance the historic space that houses The Gallery at (Le) Poisson Rouge, Tokodi hopes to encountering a different set of media, art and people. With this, Tokodi's installation organically dovetails The Gallery's mission to foster community interaction, artistic stimulation and reigniting a renewed appreciation for the &quot;public,&quot; as both notion and place: drinking establishment, art gallery and performance space. With If All the World Were a Blackbird, Tokodi tackles her most complicated endeavor yet, by continuing to explore the diversity of the intricate connections between (organic) materials while still remaining close to nature.
 
The title of the installation, If All the World Were a Blackbird, is inspired by a children's poems by Sándor Weöres (pronounced Voe-roesh), Hungary's &quot;most versatile poet.&quot; Chosen by Tokodi for its complimenting the delicate nature of Tokodi's work while evoking a playful take on the Utopian existence.]]></Description>

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

  <Description><![CDATA[The 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. Registration is recommended. To RSVP, please email cortiz@nationalacademy.org.

Friday, April 9, 6:45PM - The Annual through the Ages 
Join former Chief Curator of the National Academy Museum David Dearinger, currently Susan Morse Hilles Curator of Paintings and Sculpture at the Boston Athenaeum, for a lecture on the history of the Academy’s Annual Exhibition. Dr. Dearinger’s lecture will provide a retrospective look at the importance of the Academy’s Annual.

Friday, April 16, 6:45PM - Panel Discussion
Lets Talk About Sex: Gender Issues in a Post-Feminist World 
Join artists Julia Randall, Ghada Amer, and Judith Bernstein for an important discussion examining the greater implications of incorporating sexual imagery into their work. Hear the artists talk about how cultural and generational issues have played a part in their art-making strategies. Maura Reilly, Senior Curator AFA and Founding Curator of the Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art, moderates.

Friday, June 4, 6:30PM - Curator Talk with Marshall Price
Don’t miss your last chance to view The 185th Annual exhibition. Join Marshall Price, Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art at the National Academy, for a tour and gallery talk with a featured artist from the show.

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

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

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

  <Description><![CDATA[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>

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[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[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[“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[The Bronx River Art Center presents the third of its four-part exhibition series DIALECTS.  Working under the umbrella of local and international dialogue, research, and collaboration, local Bronx artists and international artists are paired together to create and present side-by-side solo exhibitions in BRAC's storefront gallery. 

DIALECTS v.3 presents new, site-specific works by Blanka Amezkua (Bronx, NY) and Dario Solman (Croatia) and is curated by BRAC's Gallery Director &amp; Curator, José Ruiz. The juxtaposition of these exhibitions heightens the contrast between two different types of artistic reasoning and process, while further focusing on the overlap of parallel concepts and concerns. On the surface, Blanka Amezkua's installation, Interminable recurrence in my mind, builds upon the organic, abstract, and handmade, to mine colorful aesthetic tendencies that present an alternate dimension to the works that she is primarily known for: the hyper-depiction of women as a character of power that evolve out of the pages of Mexican comic books and other popular paraphernalia. For this exhibition, the Mexican-born, Bronx-based artist unveils a new installation that highlights the various aesthetic motifs that have constantly paralleled her projects over the last fifteen years, so that the exhibition process exposes the often-private investigations that arise in her studio. Organic patterns painted on the wall, abstract crocheted compositions, and an extensive suite of doodles done on mail envelopes are just some of the elements of her installation. 

Dario Solman presents a selection from his ongoing project, The Heart of Perspective, the Making of the Film (2001-present), in order to construct digital narratives through a Post-Cold War lens. The artist's rigid, linear, black-and-white works are a combination of animations, drawings, and soundscapes that offer fragmental inquiries into issues of power, conformity, and individuality.  Setup as a non-linear &quot;film&quot; project, The Heart of Perspective transforms the formal art term perspective (a drawing technique used to create an illusion of three-dimensional space on a two-dimensional surface) to create a heightened sense of space and time based on psychological implications of existence and order. ]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[The Guild Art Gallery presents Domus Vulgus the New York debut show of Contemporary India artist Apnavi Thacker. Born in Bombay, India and brought up in Geneva, Switzerland, Apnavi Thacker grew up benefiting from two very different cultures. Her experiences in both cities have had a major impact on her work. Apnavi is a self-taught artist, although she gained valuable knowledge and experience during her two years of training under the guidance of Bose Krishnamachari. Her work addresses such issues as the possible link between a woman and her self-confidence and level of comfort with her sexuality, and the impact of urban development on the environment.
 
For Domus Vulgus, Thacker will literally recreate a shack, similar to the ones seen in slum dwellings of the city of Mumbai, India, as well as paintings. Being a street artist Thacker has developed a keen eye for urban environments and in particular what society would term as urban decay – meaning the vast slum areas that are now synonymous with urban construction and the landscape of Mumbai. Her initial practice as an artist in Switzerland exposed her to street art and graffiti something that is virtually non-existent in India. Thackers work therefore amalgamates the visual aesthetic of street art from one culture and the literal visual and functional aspects of street culture in another, to conjure up strongly individualistic, socio-political statements. ]]></Description>

Working in varied medium and style, the four featured artists, Emily Cheng, Hung-Chih Peng, YoYo Xiao and Shen Chen share interest in using universal language in their art creations. Although they all have more or less connections with the Chinese art tradition, they pursue methods that are understandable and acceptable to a larger audience on the international level.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Curated by Shinnie Kim, Conundrum Express challenges viewers to expand their frame of reference and look beyond the initial visual appearance of an art piece.  Instead of indulging in the breakdown of the visual, the work itself becomes the reflective maze wherein the answer resides.  Drawn in, the viewer becomes actively involved in deciphering complex composition and diverse perspectives.  Acknowledging the multiplicity of cognitive modes of connecting ideas, the exhibition deliberately avoids didactically presenting a singular discourse of master narrative.

The artists featured in Conundrum Express defy the logics of imagery discourse by using their own visual languages with witty and playful approaches.  A multitude of staged elements and stylized compositions orchestrate an emergence of a higher level of visual information while creating interactions at the viewer’s level. The exhibition works as a medium of engagement that invites viewers to explore a range of enigmatic and intricate reasoning models as if it were a brainteaser game.]]></Description>

  <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[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[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[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[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[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[*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[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[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[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[The exhibition borrows its name from the epic Miles Davis track from the Bitches Brew Sessions recorded between 1969-1970 and will explore the concepts of the deification of the modern male athlete, spirituality, local tradition and the road to victory.
Historically, sports or games were organized to ready men for battle and were held in honor of local religious traditions. Some of the first Western games were foot races that were enacted within religious sanctuaries, which precipitated the Olympic Games and the modern sports industrial complex. The gain of immense ascendancy of the individual through organized physical group-set competition began within this framework and has never left our collective conscience.
Sports are still perhaps the greatest theater of live performance where local customs and factional interests are played out. Sports bring solidarity to diverse populations, unified behind a shared goal of winning and team identity. It is in this context that the spectacle of human beings pitted against one and another (or going at it alone) is at its greatest and yet most basic height.]]></Description>

  <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[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[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[The concept of “work” can be interpreted in many different ways depending on whom you hit up. Brooklyn-based artist, SPECTER and German duo VARIOUS &amp; GOULD have each located discarded materials, used skill and ingenuity and re-conceptualized things in pulsating ways you might never have imagined.  All this done in effort to turn the concept of “work” on its ear in an exhibition appropriately titled, “Make It Fit”.

Cart-pushers, delivery boys and slave-laborers – take the spotlight in much of the work created by the artist who goes simply by the name Specter. With all of his portraits based on real people living at the bottom of the capitalist barrel, Specter forces the general public to see what they might rather not – those who got left behind. Collecting materials in much the same fashion his subjects do, Specter incorporates shopping carts, bicycles, and crates along with engaging images of your everyday worker, paying special attention to what makes them tick. His work is hand-crafted, retro-fitted, clever and fresh.

For the creative team of Various &amp; Gould the concept of “work” means looking well beyond the vigor of the everyday tasks one has to perform for a paycheck and instead focusing on the surprisingly graceful interaction between a laborer and his tools. Imagine peering into the cut-out holes we often see at a construction site and being exposed to a vibrant world of multi-colored uniforms, enlarged tools and graphic text.  A world where workers trade body parts depending on their needs, moving in tandem while performing their repetitive tasks in a choreographed “workers waltz”.  Using found objects, work related symbols and their refined silkscreen techniques, the line between work and play becomes blurred inside the imaginative minds of Various &amp; Gould.]]></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[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[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[“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[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[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[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 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[Kelly Barrie will present works from his series entitled “Between the Blinds”. Using photo luminescent pigments
manipulated with his feet, Barrie creates a large scale drawings based on found images of subjects that no longer exist in there original place or form. The drawings are then photographed in sections over the period of a number of days and weeks, resulting in over 100 images which are stitched back together with the use of a computer. Each photograph retains a slight color cast which is dependent on the time of day it was taken and the angle or incidence of light. These color shifts, seen in the final piece, represent a temporal register for the duration of the work.

Glen Fogel will be exhibiting two recently completed works, a video installation titled Art from Kansas City, and a sound and light piece titled Glen from Colorado. Conceived of as companion pieces, the two works function as distinct yet related portraits of the artist: one is mapped onto a pre-existing politically charged memoir, and the other from the artist’s personal archive. Both works conflate minimal forms with emotionally, psychologically and politically charged material, and explore the complexities of identity-formation.

Mariah Robertson’s unique photographs are the result of a variety of darkroom techniques and the chance incidences that happen during their processing. The resulting images are a chaotic mix of representation and abstraction.

David Benjamin Sherry will present variously colored monochromatic photographs displayed in an installation format. The works spans most fields of photographic work: landscapes, still lives, portraits, abstractions, camera-less photographs and self-portraits. Sherry’s practice is based in traditional color
photography using pre-digital darkroom techniques to create “a world based from my own experiences and transforming [the photgraphs] into a more fantastical, magical, new and exciting visual atmosphere that transcends reality and challenges thoughts on existence, spirituality and my intimate relationship with nature.”

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

  <Description><![CDATA[Curated by Robert C. Morgan, &quot;A Spectrum Of Jewels&quot; will feature what Maslanka calls a 'Dodecaorthogonal Space Poem.' This type of 'mathematical poem' is constructed with twelve 'orthogonal space poems' arranged contiguously within a Cartesian coordinate system. Orthogonal space poems are always in the form of 'A' equals 'B' multiplied by 'C.' What is different in this new work is that one of the variables in each poem is a fabricated word whose meaning comes from the mathematical operation applied to the other two variables (words). The words were carefully chosen to point to a spectrum inspired by Zen teachings. Thus, the aesthetic value of the piece is derived from visualizing the meaning of all the concepts spread throughout the entire three dimensional space. 

The following statements are to help navigate the installation:
The yellow ball is the point of origin for the entire system. The green balls are points in space which represent the meaning of a concept which lies on one of the 'word axes.' A word axis is a one dimensional line drawn between two concepts in space. In a three dimensional space you may have three 'word axes.' The three word axes in this installation are &quot;Emptiness/Thinking,&quot; &quot;Existence/Non-existence,&quot; and &quot;Monasticism/Urbanity.&quot; The red balls are points in space to delineate the coordinate pairs for which the orthogonal space poem starts. The poem lies on the planer space that lies between the red ball, the two adjacent green balls and the yellow ball. For a better understanding of visualizing these poems you may want to Google &quot;verbogeometry&quot; and &quot;Orthogonal Space Poem.&quot;]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[In his first solo exhibition at the gallery, Sterling Ruby presents &quot;2TRAPS,&quot; an installation of two large-scale sculptural works created over the past year in the artist’s Los Angeles studio. Sterling Ruby has transformed a public transportation vehicle into a ready-made sculpture titled &quot;BUS,&quot; outfitted with a series of interior solitary confinement cages, speakers, sub-woofers, chrome fixtures, and exterior security doors. Inside this muted, claustrophobic environment, notions of excess and suppression are heightened to new extremes.  Situated nearby, and mirroring &quot;BUS&quot; in scale (each sculpture measures approximately 10' x 9' x 40'), &quot;PIG PEN&quot; is a massive rectangular grid configured from a series of smaller custom-built rectangular blocks. Each individual block is comprised of four metal security doors, identical to those found on homes in urban environments. Both of these sculptural traps act symbolically as relics of a tarnished past, signals of a stagnating present, and warnings for an apocalyptic future.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[&quot;Common Jive&quot; presents a spectrum of contemporary artists who summon up vernacular and traditional craft approaches in their art-making practice. Organized in a collaborative effort between curator Julie Fishkin, and artist Saya Woolfalk, the fifteen artists in the exhibition engage the dichotomy between communal pasts and the individual experience, intertwining them visually through the manipulation of common materials and re-examination of time-honored aesthetic practices. The work in the exhibition represents strategies of both the self-taught and formally trained. Rather than making a distinction between these tactics, &quot;Common Jive&quot; argues that these artists, presenting a resurgence of dedicated artistry combined with a concern for conceptual rigor, are part of a contemporary communal discourse.

  <Description><![CDATA[Pratt Manhattan Gallery presents &quot;Envelopes,&quot; a sustainable architecture exhibition that includes brand new work that examines the architectural skins of buildings and their role as a sensorial space that envelopes the body. The exhibition will run from March 5 through May 5, 2010 and will be celebrated with an opening reception on Thursday, March 4 from 6-8 p.m. The exhibition and opening reception are FREE and open to the public.

The exhibition is guest-curated by Christopher Hight, an associate professor at Rice University's School of Architecture. His inspiration for the exhibition title and concept originated from the parallels between the envelope of a building and the envelope of the human skin; the building envelope repeats the metaphor of the building as a body and as a prosthetic second skin that allows human beings to exist within a hostile environment. The work in the show explores relationships between systems -- human, animal, plant, and energy flow -- as a site for architectural innovation in the 21st century.]]></Description>

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

  <Description><![CDATA[In this newest installation, Twomey, known for conceptual fearlessness, bridges the gap between heaven and earth. Audio, film, and photographs enacting earthly endeavors float among the intangible fluffy stuff of dreams.

Twomey organizes this intimate gallery space into three discreet areas. A composition of about15 photographs of various sizes and shapes are grouped on the three walls of the entry room. The subject of the images express a variety of effort, and range from an abstract picture of skin touching skin, an old hand dialing a phone, to the corn-rowing of a young girls hair. These
subjects float against a dreamy grey backdrop depicting an instant of earthly reality.

The sounds from the next area draw the viewer into the main exhibition space, which is entirely lined and filled with fluffy, cloud-like material shimmering in the light. In and around the fluffy stuff, small DVD’s seem to float. They play video loops in which orchestrated sound and the subjects seen previously, are enacting and re-enacting their earthly actions with eerie resolve.
Exiting this space through an open door leading to the outdoor patio, one sees the culmination of the exhibition which provides the epiphany of this show. The essence of cloud nature seems to mix with that of the actual sky while a hypnotic and exotic DVD ties the conceptual threads together...]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[The ways artists express themselves creatively is traced back to their childhood. From constructing cities with blocks to banging on pots to making tree forts to devising strategies to win games - an artist begins a life of creating with curiosity, wonder and unencumbered imagination which is developed through &quot;PLAY&quot;. One can only hope these traits are not abandoned with youth and instead mature into a distinct artistic voice.

In &lt;I PLAY I&gt; at ConcentArt, installations embody how sophisticated curiosity, wonder and unencumbered imagination can in essence, become ageless. A futuristic, miniature city is daintily ordered and delicately planned to cast a societal shadow. Sculptures whimsically move and generate sounds in reaction to someone walking nearby to grab attention. Peeking one's head inside a suspended boat divulges the view from the hideaway's perspective. Moving cans of &quot;fodder&quot; creates a panorama of an environment nearing extinction... &lt;I PLAY I&gt; reminds us we are never too old to remember what we've learned and to dream bigger than that.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[With an engineer’s precision, Zezmer constructs her works by a gradual additive process dependent on intuitive responses to the materials and objects she uses forming color-saturated assemblages. Evolving out of a large selection of manmade curiosities, each piece takes on an identity and physical body of its own; some remain self-contained in their form while other spread out along the walls like micro organisms.
Among the abundant elements she incorporates are objects which in their original context were distinctly purposeful such as drinking straws, IV drip tubing, construction netting, film, foil, packing materials, bicycle helmets, cable ties and funnels. In fusing the elements and breaking them down, Zezmer disrupts the common meaning assigned to the items and calls into question our own familiarity with them. Zezmer’s sculptures suggest irrational Duchampian hybrids of mechanical and biological systems. They are embodiments of the complexity of life in the modern age, ruminations on the omnipresence of mass-production, space travel and biotechnology.
Sofi Zezmer structures some of her recent works as interactive sites, inviting simultaneously accessible multiple viewpoints, which provoke conflicting chains of associations. REM LS1, for instance, consists of a mobile, translucent panel attached to the wall with two hinges. The sculpture literally occurs on both sides of the panel as well as in between the two sides. Similarly, the large hanging work Brazil LS1 hovers at the viewer’s eye-level above ground and rotates slowly, disclosing simultaneously numerous vantage points.

  <Description><![CDATA[Tobias Madison’s first US solo show is a newly commissioned project in two parts. Hydrate + Perform consists of many large acrylic tanks, each filled with a different flavor of Vitamin Water. The stunning blocks of pastel color create a counter rhythm to the columns that support the gallery space on Broadway. Other display cases frame synthetic plants, Pollock-ized with drips of paint. Large color prints of Compact Discs scanned and warped constitute wall panoramas. The various layers form a landscape unfolding different states of artificiality.

The second part of the exhibition entitled Yes I Can! The Movie: Preview pairs Madison’s notorious flag paintings with a short film shot in 2009. The road movie leading from Switzerland to Mongolia tracks the use of monuments and brutalist architecture on the way. The flags are embezzled from Radisson Hotels, their slogan Yes I can! crudely appropriated. Stretched as if they are the real thing and pimped with oil paint by different collaborators, they enter art history through the service door. Herewith the status of painting is naturally demystified by Madison.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[The artist will transform the gallery space with nearly thirty paintings, measuring between 10&quot; to 30&quot; inches squared, and featuring a wide range of experimentation in materials and supports.

For more than five decades, Robert Ryman has been engaged in an ongoing experiment with painting. He constantly seeks to modify his approach, resisting the comfort of tendency and maintaining the freshness of an unchartered territory. From each experience Ryman gleans the variables for a revised proposition and the impetus to propel him towards his next move.
 
This encyclopedic exhibition presents a vast range of facility with the material properties of paint on a variety of supports used both individually and in conjunction with one another, including wood, MDF board, aluminum, and stretched cotton. One-third of the works on view are painted on Tyvek, an extremely thin industrial material composed of spunbonded Olefin. Although Tyvek has the appearance of paper, the material is deceivingly strong.   The artist approaches the new works with paints possessing varying properties, such as acrylic varnish, enamel, and epoxy, in addition to graphite and ink. Penciled grids float in and out of focus, sometimes obscured by paint, sometimes left uncovered.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[BRIC Arts | Media | Bklyn presents A Wild Gander: Artists from the South Asian Women’s Creative Collective, a group exhibition curated by Baseera Khan , BRIC’s Assistant Curator for Contemporary Art. The South Asian Women’s Creative Collective (SAWCC) is a New York–based nonprofit organization dedicated to the advancement, visibility, and development of emerging and established South Asian women artists. 

A Wild Gander features Chitra Ganesh, Mala Iqbal, Jesal Kapadia, Yamini Nayar, and Divya Mehra, five New York–based artists. The title of the exhibition is drawn from Joseph Campbell’s collection of essays, The Flight of the Wild Gander, which references the Sanskrit concept of the paramahamsa, an enlightened spiritual teacher who transcends the mundane, just as geese (hamsa ) are able to transcend the earth through flight. This sage also feels at home both on water and on land, analogous to a person who adeptly negotiates disparate geopolitical cultural codes. The artists taking part in A Wild Gander do so, reflecting the complex issues that frame South Asian identity, whether based in gender, media representations, or politics.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[The main idea of this exhibition is to link different artistic expressions, languages and backgrounds, thus illustrating the plurality of these artists. The most talented young Spanish Art will have an important platform on which to be promoted. &quot;Spain in the City&quot; aims to be like the New York metropolis, a plural and heterogeneous exhibition, where diverse artistic languages and ways of perceiving the same reality from different perspectives and sensibilities, come together in the same geographical starting point: the city of New York. Thus, the Spanish artists that take part in this exhibition represent somehow what this city is, but also their works bear witness to the remarkable creativity and excellent development of Spanish art beyond its borders. This exhibition will hold paintings of Pedro Barbeito, where he links digital image and painting, and Hugo Fontela, where a dead palm tree on a quiet beach is the central character. Itziar Barrio through installation, video and photography will make us think about our obsession to fit into society standards and uses new signs and symbols taken from marketing and publicity. The idea of space and how we perceive it, is related with Juanli Carrion’s photograph boxes and the works of Javier Martin de Frutos. Although their languages are very different, both describe the New York landscape. Verónica Peña and Anton Cabaleiro’s videos, narrate the personal perception of their lives and experiences in the city. Finally, Jacobo Castellano takes us to the places where he lived and found materials with which he made his bright pieces, opening a dialogue between them and the space around.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[The Invisible Dog proudly presents The Ant in the main exhibition hall. Artist Xavier Roux was inspired to create the sixty-foot long sculpture by the poem written by Surrealist Robert Desnos in 1942. This touching piece consists of a giant ant symbolizing the trains transporting Jews and other nazi victims to concentration camps. The Invisible Dog  and Xavier Roux are deeply committed to this exhibition. We  have embarked in the adventure of assembling the material such as nylon balloons, foam boards, sound systems, etc.  It is fabricated from four elements, which are attached to a steel structure. The Ant is made of four giant translucent nylon balloons attached to a ton and half steel structure fabricated with the help of Juan Alfaro who worked with Louise Bourgeois on the making of her famous Spiders.


It seems that in hard times such as the present, it is crucial to have curiosity about our past. What brought us here? What do we have to adjust in our lifestyles in order to move forward in the future instead of letting history repeat itself? Having a huge history ourselves, and being an old factory, these are questions The Invisible Dog has always had a particular interest in. This shared curiosity made us a perfect match with The Ant because it is exactly the kind of thought process the piece provokes. Its roots house a sentimental story of a successful and talented poet named Robert Desnos.

Robert Desnos (1900-1945) was one of the primary poets and writers of the Surrealist movement in France between 1924-1930. He wrote, and collaboratively wrote, many works that have influenced the thought and processes of a number of artistic and literary fields through the twentieth century. Besides poetry, Desnos also wrote film texts and essays on film, novels, criticism, and manifestos. During World War Two he became a poet of the resistance, but was arrested by the Gestapo and spent the remainder of the war in some of the most notorious concentration camps. He died of Typhoid fever in 1945 as a result of this internment.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[&quot;Waterpod: Autonomy and Ecology,&quot; the sixth exhibition of the SEA (Social Envrionmental Aesthetics) program, is a survey of the Waterpod's five-month voyage around the boroughs of New York. It includes videos, photographs, relics, art works, journal entries, and ephemera that tell the story of this unusual public art project. &quot;The Waterpod&quot; was a floating, sculptural structure designed as a futuristic habitat and an experimental platform for assessing the design and efficacy of living systems fashioned to create an autonomous, fully functional marine shelter. A New York-based multinational team, led by founder and artistic director Mary Mattingly, drew upon the talents of artists, designers, builders, civic activists, scientists, environmentalists, and marine engineers to bring this cross-disciplinary collaboration to fruition in the waterways of New York City. During a global recession and within strict government guidelines, &quot;The Waterpod&quot; managed to achieve new ways of community outreach, resource sharing, and art creation. To fortify against the possibility of widespread climate change, desertification, overpopulation, and rising sea levels, &quot;The Waterpod&quot; offered a pathway to sustainable survival, mobility, and community building through a free, participatory project and event space that visited the five boroughs and Governors Island, for a voyage lasting from June to October 2009. &quot;The Waterpod’s&quot; mission has been to prepare, inform, and offer alternatives to current and future living spaces.]]></Description>

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

  <Description><![CDATA[Humor in all of its forms, including social satire, wordplay, games and jokes, has been an underlying theme in art, throughout the 20th century. Dada's playfulness is the precursor of this thread, born as a response to the destruction wreaked on a global scale during WWI. KNOCK KNOCK explores how artists have drawn on this strategy, using humor as a hook to tackle more complex social, sexual, and political issues. The resulting historical exhibition, mounted over two venues, is superficially all farce, gaffs, puns and parody, and exposes the embedded tensions inherent in the work when the laughter dies down.

  <Description><![CDATA[A solo exhibit of selected works by New York fusion artist Shalom Neuman. The work spans the years 1966 through 2010 and is meant to be a very brief overview of a career that spans more than 40 years. Called an “unprecedented phenomenon” by distinguished art critic Donald Kuspit, Ph.D., Shalom pursued and accomplished a methodology for the seamless integration or &quot;fusion&quot; of all artistic disciplines long before there was any interest in creating art that was both multi disciplinary and multi sensory. The artist sees his work as a language which speaks directly to American culture with its chaos, conflict, waste and utter confusion. The addition of erratic audio and garish incandescent light adds to the overall mayhem of the art.

  <Description><![CDATA[Walter Randel Gallery announces the opening of Part II of Winter Kunstkammer. The critic Edward Lucie-Smith has described the Kunstkammer as an assemblage of various art objects in a single room; despite their divergent character, these works of art, found in the studios of artists, studies of scholars and homes of collectors of discernment may be said to precede the practice of shows in formal galleries and museums of today. 

The seven contemporary artists in part II of the exhibition are as diverse as the works of art from the past with which they exhibit their oeuvres— along side works spanning a timeline of four millennia and from all over the world.  Art from European, Asian, African, Oceanic, and New World cultures are represented in this group show.  Variety and choices for the viewer and collector abound. 

Arlan Huang, painter and glass artist, was born in Bangor, Maine, in 1948 and grew up in San Francisco’s Chinatown. He graduated from Pratt Institute in Brooklyn. The paintings he presents in this show are his latest works dating from 2009.  His awards include a grant from the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts and recognition from the Department of Cultural Affairs of New York City. Huang’s current project is an ambitious commission at the Laguna Honda Hospital, in California, where thirty blown glass rondels laminated on ten frosted mirror glass panels with four large windows with blown glass forms inside glass blocks will be installed in early March.

Ernest Kafka, a New York photographer, is an enthusiastic collector of art from ancient and medieval times to the present.  His photographs of a recent voyage to Syria, Jordan and Egypt appropriately record how people live today surrounded by vestiges of the past, among the ruins of some of the oldest cradles of civilization.  The images both record the flow of time and put the viewer in the places and epochs in history when some of the works in the exhibition were created or derived their inspiration.

Bruna Stude is a photographer who first studied law in Split, Croatia. After years of working as a journalist and radio reporter, she left Croatia in 1987 to pursue a life as a crewmember at sea, where she became a photographer of the ocean and its forms; she has circumnavigated the globe several times. Since 2002, she has made her home on the island of Kauai, recording the sea’s changes and the things that live in it.  Stude’s work was recently included in two museum collections at which she exhibited: 20 Going On 21: Honoring the Past, Celebrating the Present, Looking to the Future at The Contemporary Museum Honolulu and Artists of Hawaii 2009 at The Honolulu Academy of Arts juried by Laura Hoptman, the Kraus Family Senior Curator of the New Museum of Contemporary Art, New York, NY. 

Charles Birnbaum, an artist for over 25 years, studied clay sculpture at the Kansas City Art Institute with Ken Ferguson, the noted teacher of ceramics. He then did his graduate work at the Tyler School of Art in Philadelphia. His hand-sculpted porcelain art is subtle and precise, conflating intricate organic imagery. He received a prestigious Honorable Mention in the 2008 International Ceramics Festival in Mino, Japan.

Josef Levi, who currently lives and works in Italy, studied at the University of Connecticut and Columbia University. In 1965 he had his first show in New York City. His work can be found in the Museum of Modern Art, the Albright Knox Gallery, the Aldrich Museum, and the Corcoran Gallery. Corporate collectors of his art include the Bank of New York and Exxon. Originally a painter, Levi has since 2002 been altering his “still lives” of known faces from paintings of women by old and modern masters, as well as commissioned portraits, on the computer so that there is a greater bias toward abstraction.

Mark Sengbusch was born in Ravenna, Ohio, in 1979. He received his MFA from the Cranbrook Academy of Art in Michigan. He currently lives and works in Brooklyn. The imagery in his paintings, influenced by Sengbusch’s experiences with a loom and computer games, can be described as “future artifacts”—compositions in which a rich tapestry of weaving and functional computer data are merged.

Ted Kurahara was born in Seattle, Washington, and moved to New York after graduate work done in Peoria, Illinois. An abstract painter of unusual subtlety, Kurahara has worked for many years in downtown New York. He has received grants from the Guggenheim Foundation and the National Endowment for the Arts; and has exhibited worldwide, in France, Italy, Sweden, and Switzerland.  His second solo exhibition at Walter Randel Gallery this past fall of 2009 met with great critical acclaim and a review of the show by Jonathan Goodman is available on artcritical.com.

  <Description><![CDATA[As prime subjects, Time and Space have preoccupied James Rosenquist since he turned contemporary culture on its head in the early 1960s with paintings that splintered ideas as well as images.
Married to his penetration of cosmic mysteries is a hands-on skill not only with paint on canvas but also with low-tech mechanics. For over four decades he has integrated moving parts as diverse as conveyer belts and laser clocks into his canvases.
These preoccupations and skills combine in two powerfully innovative themes that constitute his exhibition of new work at Acquavella Galleries.
The Hole in the Middle of Time is a series of seven works manifesting clock face images, the three largest of which incorporate motorized spinning mirrors.
The Hole in the Wallpaper is a series of fourteen motorized images each reprising a smaller version of an earlier painting by the artist. In the center of every work is a circular mirror. While the paintings spin, the mirrors remain static and reflect the viewer.
