  <Description><![CDATA[Shifting Communities highlights dynamic initiatives in culture and the arts currently at work in the margins of the art world and American society. The goal of this project is to create a paradigm where community-centric contemporary art and artist think-tanks can be a tool for public service; a language for the exploration and investigation of the broader aspects of culture and society; and a magnet that can bring different cultures and ideologies together in order to strengthen a more inclusive definition of community.

Shifting Communities operates multifold: as a roundtable brainstorming series for students, artists, and local residents; as a curatorial/exhibition initiative; and as Bronx-centric social sculpture.

Roundtable Brainstorming Series: An artist built installation in our exhibition facility will serve as the physical infrastructure for a series of roundtable discussions. Featuring the Bronx as a hub, the roundtable installation will host a yearlong series of discussions based on the changing socio-demographics, community development, and non-profit exhibition strategies (to name a few) across the boroughs of New York City. Each roundtable will feature a Bronx artist alongside an artist collective from outside the Bronx. In addition to the roundtable, the artists are charged with creating an exhibit of art inclusive of the discussion and informed by the Bronx community. The roundtable will also be made available to other artists and community members outside the program to schedule events and activities of their own.

Curatorial/Exhibition Initiative: This series was created in response to the current economic, environmental, and political stress across the country and the grassroots initiatives and local communities of artists that have spawned from it to create innovative and effective interpretations of development and progress. Through four separate exhibitions, this initiative changes the gallery from a space of passive art viewing into one of active art creating. The audience is as integral to the creation of the program as the artists. The artwork stems from discussion and consideration for the community it is created in.

Bronx-centric Social Sculpture: Taken as a whole, this program can be seen as one large artwork. The accumulation of sketches, notes, photographs, and other ephemera from the roundtable presentations, along with the artworks created and exhibited will be archived in a published catalog and video series of documentation and critical dialogue. As the series progresses, the roundtable installation will act as a visual timeline of the work and ideas presented culminating in an archive of the entire program at the close of our season.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[The New Art Practice was a term created for a generation of artists in the former Yugoslavia active in the late 1960s and throughout the 1970s. These artists shifted their practice to spaces outside the traditional studio, onto city streets, into artist-run spaces, and in multimedia performances and experimental publications. Focusing on artists working in the city of Zagreb, this exhibition documents aspects of this shift and highlights the ability of artists' publications to record these often ephemeral gestures and ideas. While artists such as Goran Trbuljak, Braco Dimitrijević, Sanja Iveković, Mladen Stilinović, and Vlado Martek, among others, worked in a variety of mediums, they shared a common impulse to produce publications. These artists questioned and played with ideas about the place of an artist within this particular political and socioeconomic context. Their work often involved public participation and blurred traditional notions of authorship through collective activities, chance operations, and the appropriation of language and imagery from the state and commercial media. The materials in this installation resonate with other contemporaneous scenes in Eastern and Central Europe and with broader international trends, while also providing an insight into very local networks of experimental artists and writers in Zagreb.

  <Description><![CDATA[For his first exhibition at a New York museum, Clifford Owens (American, b. 1971) presents a new project Anthology, which is comprised of photography, video, and live performance.

Anthology features performances scores—written or graphical instructions for actions—that Owens solicited from a multigenerational group of African-American artists. Twenty-six major artists have contributed scores, nearly all of whom composed new works specifically for Owens and his project.

Owens has long known that African-American performance art has been under-recognized and that its history remains largely unwritten. Rather than producing scholarly research on the topic, Owens has created an unprecedented compendium of African-American performance that is both highly personal and historical in nature.

During the summer of 2011, Owens had studio space at MoMA PS1 and made use of the entire building to enact the performance scores, which range from vague commands to highly choreographed movements and actions. On a weekly basis, Owens performed in various locations including the basement boiler room, rooftop, and attic. Through Owens' subjective reading of each score, he underscores the mutability and elastic nature of the sets of instructions.  The resulting photographs, videos, and objects will be presented in the exhibition. The artist will also perform selected scores live throughout the course of the show.

Anthology scores have been contributed by artists including Derrick Adams, Terry Adkins, Sanford Biggers, Aisha Cousins, Sherman Fleming, Coco Fusco, Charles Gaines, Malik Gaines, Rico Gatson, Rashawn Griffin, Lyle Ashton Harris, Maren Hassinger, Steffani Jemison, Jennie C. Jones, Nsenga A. Knight, Glenn Ligon, Dave McKenzie, Senga Nengudi, Lorraine O'Grady, Benjamin Patterson, William Pope.L, Jacolby Satterwhite, Xaviera Simmons, Shinique Smith, Kara Walker, and Saya Woolfalk.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[The first exhibition to document the origins and historical development of the transient, yet pivotal “Happenings” movement from its inception in 1958 through 1963. The experimental performances forever changed the definition of art and the possibilities for what it could be. The show captures more than thirty of the original Happenings and the contributions of the main participants—Jim Dine, Simone Forti, Red Grooms, Allan Kaprow, Claes Oldenburg, Lucas Samaras, Carolee Schneemann, and Robert Whitman. It brings together for the first time more than 300 photographs by five photographers who witnessed and documented the performances, as well as artworks, rare film footage, and original ephemera. The exhibition is accompanied by a book published by The Monacelli Press and authored by Milly Glimcher.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[frosch&amp;portmann presents “Even Mountains Cast Shadows”, Brad Nelson’s first solo exhibition in New York.

The invisibility and intangibility of faith and the reliance on language to convince someone to believe, instead of direct phenomenological observations, is a prevalent theme in Brad Nelson’s work. Having grown up in Kentucky, Nelson was surrounded by vocal religious convictions and absolute faith-based belief. His artwork creates a vivid visual language in the form of artificial landscapes and paintings of handwritten notes that hover close to nature and attempt to destruct or obscure the sense of what came before. As mountains and rock formations are very influential on the surrounding landscape, ideas and beliefs similarly loom over our contemporary environment.

Nelson moved to northern Arizona in 2008 and his experience in the southwest inspired him to use mountains as the conceptual platform for this show. While the mountains in Brad Nelson’s oils don’t exist in nature, they do exist as a physical manifestation before he paints them. He creates the model first in his studio as sculptures made from raw pigments using a variety of sculpting tools, such as rulers, razor blades, straws, and paper. The artist is using elements of the earth to create artificial constructions of natural landscapes.

During the opening reception of the exhibition, the artist will create a new work through a performance. Nelson will work publicly in the gallery in the same manner that he normally works in the privacy of his studio. He will sculpt a mountain still life, which will function as the origin of the image presented in the new painting. Nelson will then paint on a stage consisting of an unfinished stretched canvas representing an aerial view of the neighborhood where frosch&amp;portmann is located.

Viewers will have the opportunity to observe the original and the reproduction. Once the painting is finished the sculpture will be positioned behind the wall on which the finished painting will hang, so the original event will now be invisible. The reproduction will be the new authority in which faith will be placed and transmitted to the viewer.

Brad Nelson lives and works in Falmouth, Massachusetts. He received his B.A. from the University of Kentucky in Lexington, KY and his M.F.A. from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston/ Tufts University.

  <Description><![CDATA[Notations: The Cage Effect aims to serve as a timely platform upon the centennial of John Cage's birth. The exhibition will examine his diverse and widespread influence throughout America, Asia, Europe and Latin America not only through the artists directly following Cage but also those in successive generations to the present. By taking a chronological and geographic survey it may be possible to elucidate why Cage has been hailed as an “authorizing factor” and how his influence is manifest to such a widespread and significant degree.  The exhibition will include some 30 artists including William Anastasi, Ushio Shinohara, Rivane Neuenschwander, Kaz Oshiro and Fred Sandback among many others, and will be supplemented by a full schedule of inter-disciplinary public programming. The exhibition will also be accompanied by a comprehensive exhibition catalogue with essays by Dr. Pissarro, Julio Grinblatt and Bibi Caldero, and contributions by participating graduate students at Hunter College. ]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[C24 Gallery presents CAMPAIGN, a group exhibition curated by Amy Smith-Stewart. The exhibition places the popular depiction of the female body in a torrent of unrestrained expression from 27 international artists. Smith-Stewart states: “We are a culture obsessed with image making. The rapidly growing and absolutely powerful rise of new media embrace the celebrity lifestyle of “making it.” Who we are and what we are have become reflections of popular thinking.”

Incorporating an array of media, CAMPAIGN goes under the surface of digitally manipulated imagery of the homogenized female in order to understand how this has become a repository for confused and misplaced notions of status, power, dominance and beauty. By showing how women’s bodies are marketed, CAMPAIGN poses questions such as: What perpetuates this hegemonic depiction of women and how do we reveal what is really underneath the super-perfect veneer?

While appropriating imagery from mainstream culture and repurposing fashionable tropes, CAMPAIGN creates alternative meanings that reveal hidden truths—exploring the stereotypes of femininity to uncover contemporary self-reflective practices. The artists show how technological advances enable the manipulation of a visual vernacular. This fuels a fixation with transformation that complicates ongoing struggles with personal identity.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[The Abrons Arts Center presents me, we, a multi-platform collaboration partnering with the Dia Art Foundation’s education program, Abrons Arts Center StudioLab program, and 11th-grade Studio Art majors at Lower Manhattan Arts Academy (LoMA). Grounded by a continuously evolving installation on view at the Abrons Arts Center from February 17-March 17, 2012, me, we is an exploration and articulation of collective authorship that blurs the lines between studio space, exhibition, and public forum.

The gallery will act as a response laboratory between Dia Art Foundation’s Education Associate and poet Christine Hou, Dia Teaching Artist Lisa Iglesias, and the LoMA students. Audience members will witness a visual- and text-based exchange that will include large format graphite drawings, text as image, signage, and miniature casted monuments. Supporting programming will include two public events in the exhibition space and 16 workshop sessions for LoMA students in the Abrons Arts Center StudioLab classroom.

Beginning with the direct quote from Muhammad Ali in 1967, and arguably the shortest poem in the English language, me, we considers the notion of a poetic politics, and how the voice of the individual is shaped within a collective experience. Ideas central to this program will be: text as image (and vice versa), collaboration as a form of growth, and art as a lateral community-building practice. Together, the students will consider thinkers and gestures, such as Joseph Beuys, Sol Lewitt, Gertrude Stein, Kara Walker, the Occupy Wall Street movement, the performance art of William Pope.L and writing in relationship to the body. Throughout the duration of the project, LoMA students will integrate critical thinking within an arts practice as well as develop public programs and exhibit works-in-process to their peers and the Lower East Side community. 

Additional participants included in this specialized partnership are me, we co-creator, Studio and Gallery Programming Manager at the Abrons Arts Center, and LoMA StudioLab Cultural Partner-in-Residence Carolyn Sickles; Queens Borough Poet Laureate Paolo Javier; and The Friendly Falcons, a collaborative arts duo featuring Jeffrey Kurosaki and Tara Pelletier.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Bose Pacia presents the second installment of Transparent Studio with Dannielle Tegeder. The artist will occupy the gallery space from February 7 through March 1 during which time the public is invited to view the work in progress in the open studio space. We encourage visitors to stop by to see the artist in action. The studio residency term will culminate in an evening with the artist on Thursday, March 1 during the Dumbo First Thursdays evening event. 
 
Dannielle will be facilitating four workshop sessions, each consisting of invited artists, writers, poets, friends, affiliates of Bose Pacia and the public. During the sessions the group will reflect, research, and create collaborative projects on ideas inherent in drawing and abstraction. The work produced may include non-traditional drawings, a screening of drawing, writing projects, and discussions on art inspired by well-known debates on theory and practice at the Institute of Artistic Culture in Moscow, from 1920–22. The project produced during the residency, including the research and raw materials process, will be on continuous display throughout her entire residency term. Finally, the workroom will function as a dynamic space that merges the role of the working studio and exhibition space.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Synchronous Objects: Degrees of Unison is a multipart sound and video installation focusing on One Flat Thing, reproduced an ensemble dance by William Forsythe. 

Focusing on the choreographic visualization online project Synchronous Objects created by Norah Zuniga Shaw, Maria Palazzi and William Forsythe, the installation brings viewers into an encounter with the deep structures of a dance and the generative ideas contained within. A series of visual objects – animations, computer graphics, interactive tools – enact a parallel performance of Forsythe's choreographic ideas. The work was first launched online in 2009 and is still available in this form. 

In the installation, Norah Zuniga Shaw stays close to the conceptual foundations of the online original while extending them into the architectural and experiential possibilities of the Goethe-Institut Wyoming Building. In addition to interacting with the site and viewing HD animations from the project, visitors can spend time within a circle of synchronized visualizations unfolding from dance to data to objects over the 15 – minute time span of the piece. William Forsythe's voice calls out timing to the dancers and the sounds of the dancers' actions move in multi-channel choreography around the space. Finally, a paper proliferation of creative processes can be found to read, leave behind, sort, or carry home.

  <Description><![CDATA[The Heart is known as the center of one’s emotions and thoughts of love. Today, we use the heart as a symbol to represent &quot;Self-love&quot;.

The artists in this exhibition come together to invoke and share one thing in common : the love of self. Self love is the willingness and openness to look within and appreciate who we are right now. The artists included in &quot;Hearts&quot; stand out in their desire to understand themselves and their efforts to inspire self-knowledge and self-preservation.

In reaction to the pursuit of love deemed necessary in today’s society where the self gains worth through the eyes of others, the Love Yourself Project and this exhibition are influenced by the role of self-love as an initial necessity for the generation of all kinds of love. The familiar shape of the heart, hence, becomes a symbol of individuals celebrating themselves. Knowing and loving oneself is celebrated as the first step in understanding and loving others.

The Love Yourself Project was created to spread a message of unconditional self-love, and through education and visual arts, we aim to celebrate and empower communities around the world.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Dumbo Arts Center presents “New Pyramids For the Capitalist System,” an exhibition by Robby Herbst. “New Pyramids For The Capitalist System” explores acrobatics, class, bodies and interpersonal dynamics through a series of large-scale drawings, installations, and performances of human pyramids. The project was inspired by Herbst’s grandfather’s photos (a collection of beach and socialist acrobats) and a 1911 diagram produced by Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) called “Pyramid for the Capitalist System.”

At sites associated with Occupy LA Herbst and a group of amateur, costumed, acrobats enacted the IWW diagram by creating human pyramids. Acrobats dressed as workers, managers, law enforcement, clergy and capitalists. This exhibition focuses on social dynamics and the efforts to memorialize the actions highlighted in the pyramid performances. Drawings and sculpture will examine the spatial and political implications of what it means to bear the weight of this classed system.

“New Pyramids For The Capitalist System” reminds us that we are physical beings, inhabiting specific time and spaces. The acrobats hold and press against each other in the fleshy, intimate experience of supporting one another, a responsible community of interdependent relations.

Herbst’s grandfather was a talented acrobat involved who for decades did stunts with others at Orchard Beach in the Bronx. In the 1930s he associated with the Young Worker’s Athletic Club (YWAC) - a socialist acrobatic group. On display are many photographs of Herbst's grandparents' acrobatic performances in which banners with anti-fascist and pro-Communist slogans can be seen. Herbst's grandfather, Martin, was generally at the bottom of pyramids and stunts. As a strong trusted man, he was able to bear the weight of others. By tying in their acrobatic activities to the Capitalist Pyramid, Herbst makes literal the need we have for mutual support.

Through a public re-visitation of a popular political text (the Pyramid) from the early 20th century, the project aims to investigate the resonance of such language today. Following from a tradition of ambiguity in participatory new genres public art, this project explores the possibility of the legacy of class ideology within public spaces. &quot;New Pyramids&quot; raises questions of how the built environment can influence political participation. It explores the potential for human interaction, as exemplified by the acrobatic pyramids, to change our understanding of spaces. The show will also question how the spaces we occupy are meant to bear the weight of our interactions within them. The performance of the human pyramids raises issues of the nature of cooperation and complicity by citizens in the maintenance (or overturning!) of societal divisions.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[The Dandy’s New York 
 
The dandy's beauty consists above all in the cold appearance which comes from the unshakable resolution not to be moved; one might say the latent fire which makes itself felt, and which might, but does not wish to, shine forth. 
‐ Baudelaire 
 
Christopher Pusey and Luis Accorsi present the exhibition of &quot;The Dandy's New York&quot;.
 
Photographer Molua Muldown and multi‐media artist Lisa Pan reveal the authentic man behind New York’s celebrated and enigmatic dandy, Patrick McDonald. A series of environmental portrait photographs, mixed media collages and Patrick’s own poetry illustrate the East Village life and ethos of this unconventional artist. In this series, we look through the eyes of a man who has been described as a New York City living landmark and a walking work of art. Historically, New York City has been a haven for unique artists such as W. H. Auden, Quentin Crisp and Klaus Nomi. For over two decades, Patrick has been a muse and model for some of our most celebrated painters, photographers and illustrators. In our rapidly changing city, with it’s ever increasingly endangered environment for artists, Patrick’s uncompromising life simply inspires. ]]></Description>
