  <Description><![CDATA[Order and disorder, reason and emotion, restraint and excess—opposing impulses such as these have influenced design since the beginning of civilization. The exhibition juxtaposes these divergent approaches, presenting an Apollonian/Dionysian dichotomy of design philosophies in the modern era. Of the approximately 75 works in a wide range of media—including furniture, metalwork, ceramics, glass, textiles, and drawings—half are devoted to designs rooted in the centuries-old vocabulary of classicism, updated yet still linked to the rules and traditions of the past, and the other half to romantic and surreal subjects of fantasy, drawn from the realm of pure imagination. ]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[The term Pop Art was first used around 1954 to describe a group of British artists, but by the early 1960s it became synonymous with a new American art movement that appropriated images, techniques, and materials from mass-media and popular culture and presented them in bold, graphic formats. Notable members of the movement included the painters Robert Indiana, Roy Lichtenstein, James Rosenquist, Andy Warhol, and Tom Wesselmann, and the sculptor Claes Oldenburg. While these artists worked in different styles, they were similarly captivated by everyday consumer products, advertisements, billboard signs, television, films, comic books, newspapers, and magazines. Humor and satire often accompanied their art, which held a mirror up to modern-day society to reflect its values, mores, and obsessions.

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

  <Description><![CDATA[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. Please see the attached press release and image.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[This special exhibition celebrates a major new installation in the Luce Center for American Art: Visible Storage ▪ Study Center that gives the public access to more than 350 additional objects from the Museum’s collections. Since its opening in January 2005, the Luce Visible Storage ▪ Study Center has housed approximately 2,100 objects in two types of storage units: vitrined cases and paintings screens. The facility also contains forty-two drawers for storage. Beginning in mid-October and in stages over subsequent months, they will be filled with works from the Museum’s renowned American holdings and opened to the public. Once the drawers are full, the number of objects on view in visible storage will rise to 2,500—an increase of almost 20 percent.

The drawers’ contents will encompass a variety of objects from the Americas—including art of the United States as well as of the indigenous and colonial peoples of North and South America—and dating from the pre-Columbian period to the present day. Although the works range widely in terms of medium, date, function, and geographical origin, they do share a diminutive scale and suitability for flat storage. Among the objects that will be installed in the drawers are: American and Hopi ceramic tiles; Mexican pottery stamps; jewelry and other ornaments from Native and South American cultures; Modernist jewelry; silverplated flatware and serving pieces; Spanish Colonial devotional objects; American portrait and mourning miniatures; commemorative medals; and embroidery. As in other sections of the Luce Visible Storage ▪ Study Center, objects in the drawers are densely installed to maximize the available space and are grouped by type, medium, or culture. Visitors can learn more about the works by using one of the nearby computer kiosks in the facility, or by accessing the Luce database online. To obtain a list of a drawer’s entire contents, use the Map feature and select numbers 41 through 47.

Held in conjunction with the drawers installation, Small Wonders from the American Collections features an eclectic selection of seventy works of art on the walls and in the display cases above the drawers. This exhibition both highlights objects that will be installed in the drawers and reveals a diversity of cultural traditions and artistic practices that constitute American art. A variety of jewelry and objects of personal adornment—although produced by different peoples—function similarly to signify information about the wearer’s identity. Flatware, pins, and other silver items on display reflect a broad array of forms, styles, and uses for this valuable metal. Ceramic tiles made contemporaneously by Native and non-Native Americans provide an interesting cross-cultural comparison with respect to the decoration and marketing of these wares.

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

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

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

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

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

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

  <Description><![CDATA[92YTribeca presents the works of Rachel Beach and Nicole Stager – both formerly shown at Like the Spice gallery in Brooklyn – in an opening reception for this semi-permanent exhibit.

Brooklyn-dwelling, Ontario-born Rachel Beach creates works that have been described as “tough, precise and disciplined with a hard edged cheeriness.” Her wall-mounted sculptures – wooden portals and towers – rest on the border “between sculpture and painting, illusion and reality, masculine and feminine, representation, abstraction and decoration.” The portals literally take on the idea of a window, framing a section of wall or empty space in the gallery; the towers are architectural but can also seem at times like freestanding ornament. Each of these sculpture/paintings is designed to alter our visual perception of three-dimensional form.

Nicole Stager creates her work in the darkroom, drawing with handheld light sources in a process that combines the specificity of photography with the aesthetic of abstract painting. Time, color, shape and line are all uniquely presented in Stager’s work; the final product has far more to do with the interaction of light, shadow and chemistry than with the objects that produced them. A native of Pennsylvania, Stager is currently completing her MFA in New Media from the Transart Instituta at Danube University in Krems, Austria.

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

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

  <Description><![CDATA[Jones' work incorporates performance, sculpture, drawing, and painting. He became known early on for his performance persona, “Mudman,” and could be seen walking the streets of Los Angeles and Venice, CA during the 1970s, and then during the 1980s in New York City and New York's subway system, covered in mud, and wearing on his back a crudely constructed lattice-work structure of sticks, tape, and twine, his face covered with a nylon stocking. Throughout this time he was consistently developing drawings and paintings on paper. His works on paper range from intricate graphite drawings involving “X” and “O” figures and erasure indicating movement of each force (referred to as war drawings), to works that incorporate photography, acrylic paint, ink line work, and collage, many of which have been made over a period of thirty years. Over the years Jones has developed a language of materials and marks: sticks, mud, twine, rats, and “X” and “O” symbols. “Mudman,” and other figures that resemble the performance persona, inhabit his elegant and simultaneously grotesque drawings and paintings.]]></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[The Concours takes its name from exhibitions and contests of various kinds held in French ateliers (for example, the Ecole des Beaux-Arts and the Academie Julian) during the nineteenth century, with the students competing for prizes, medals, or even for working spots in the studio. From its inception, the League has held similar concours. Early on, the instructors first picked their best students, and then all the works were exhibited together. There was a purchase prize of $105 called The Instructors' Prize, which was awarded to the student voted the best by a jury of League instructors. Eugene Speicher won this prize in 1908 for his portrait of fellow student Georgia O'Keeffe, and a still-life by O'Keeffe was also acquired for the League's collection.
Each week during the Concours, a judge assigns a seal or &quot;red dot&quot; to the work deemed best of each class. All of the red dot works are exhibited at the end of the year. A committee composed of members of the Board of Control may select works from this exhibit to be purchased for the League's Permanent Collection.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[In Breakfast by the Light of the Moon, Emilio Perez shifts towards a more elusive approach and darker palette than seen in his previous abstract paintings while still maintaining his signature practice-juxtaposing freeform movement with meticulous, measured actions.  
 
Perez's unique process entails painting sheets of latex and acrylic in different hues onto wood panels and then, using a blade, decisively cutting away at layers, revealing the colors underneath.   The final works are striking, complex designs that simultaneously evoke upheaval and harmony.  Throughout this organized chaos are blended, muted shades.  Working without preliminary drawings, Perez displays a deeply instinctive dexterity with movement, composition, and color.
 
Previously, Perez employed sharp contrasts-between light and dark tones, between foreground and background, between broad, sweeping arcs and short, swift lines-and achieved works with a strong, graphic presence.  In the works exhibited in Breakfast by the Light of the Moon, elements converge more subtly, with steady, painterly arrangements and an intangible sense of space that plays with the viewer's perception of depth and direction.  Dark, rich colors dominate and envelop the plane.  Titles such as time is burning and forget all i said further shroud the works in mystery, suggesting emotions and events without overt visual associations.
 
Also on view will be the artist's drawings-restrained, self-contained compositions of ink and watercolor on paper.  Though an entirely separate practice from the latex and acrylic works, the drawings reveal the same innate, elegant sense of movement seen in Perez's paintings.

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

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

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

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

  <Description><![CDATA[Through a selection of work spanning over the past five decades, Irwin S. Chanin School of Architecture Professor and Painter/Architect Tony Candido presents his visionary idea of the interplay between humanity and the contemporary environment and what the future of architecture could be in the exhibition The Great White Whale Is Black. After studying under Mies van der Rohe and working with I.M. Pei, Candido decided in 1957 to work independently in his painting studio, where he continues today. The exhibition focuses on Candido's calligraphic brush and ink paintings and drawings, which have been an important part of his output since 1967. The Great White Whale Is Black, a bold expression of one man's life vision, illustrates Candido's commitment to art and architecture, and includes the following works selected by Candido:

Cable Cities—visionary paintings and drawings of broad sweeping structures which he views as part of the geography, and through which we can regain our landscape;

Asahikawa Heads—large calligraphic brush and ink heads, which will be on view for the first time in the U.S. (previously shown: International Design Forum, Japan in 1988); 

Abstract Brush Strokes—for Candido, the brush stroke is the concrete formative element through which a reality far greater than the apparent is realized;

Double Images—paintings and drawings motivated by Candido's sense of what he sees as the duality in man's mind of nature and the abstract.

A selection of student designs for the Urban Farm, a project which Candido conceived and introduced at The Cooper Union in 1998, will be part of the exhibition.]]></Description>

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

  <Description><![CDATA[A city within a city, Harlem is in a constant state of flux. It is hardedged. It is immediate. It is fantastical. It is real, hyper-real and hyperrealized. In counterbalance to this reality, Wardell Milan: Drawings of Harlem offers a new physical possibility for experiencing this space. The works in the exhibition illustrate, in panoramic scope, the people, places, storefronts, churches, iconic fixtures and moments in time that are the essence of this cosmopolitan neighborhood. Commissioned and organized by Studio Museum PR Manager and Editor in Chief Ali Evans, this exhibition originated from Milan’s 2008 sketches of Harlem created for the pages of Studio magazine, following his year as an artist in residence. Upon his completing the sketches, the Museum invited him to continue drawing throughout the following year for this project. A merger of the artist’s photographic eye and impressionistic hand, the exhibition includes more than forty works on paper based on photographs Milan took throughout Harlem. Some works are loosely drawn, while others display a close attention to detail. Some have color, though most are black and white. Representing moments experienced as fleeting, the works in Drawings of Harlem bring together contemporary photography and the fundamental artistic practice of drawing.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Joshua Liner Gallery presents Refuge, an exhibition of new paintings in watercolor by the Canadian artist Tristram Lansdowne. Lansdowne’s paintings of architectural ruins focus on themes of permanence, decay, and function inherent in constructed environments. Depicted with the delicacy of Roman frescoes after millennia of wear, these palimpsests carry traces of past lives, such as weathered billboards, chipped paint, graffiti, political campaign posters, or electrical wiring. The lightness of Lansdowne’s watercolors imbues these glimpses into the ravages of time with a gentle patina. Yet there’s ambiguity in his approach. 
An idealistic view of the past is juxtaposed with the emotional vacancy of urban decay, a circumspect view of human progress in which outmoded architectural ideas mix with discarded pieces of the landscape. 

In this new suite of fifteen medium- to large-sized works on paper, Lansdowne depicts decrepit houses, buildings, and barns atop subterranean layers of disparate, sometimes unrelated material and mysterious cavities. These incongruous structures include Sub Comfort, a rickety house with TV and mattress in the basement. In The Bilder, a majestic old barn sits atop the skeletal frame of a wooden galleon. Brush Park situates a boarded-up and crumbling brick edifice above a subterranean cave with access to a body of water. Painted in cross-section like natural history specimens—each building and its lower regions isolated against a pristine field of white paper- these structures have the feel of old teeth, worn down with the rotting network of root, gum, and bone exposed. Their clinical beauty and uncanny combinations make their poignancy not only palatable but also strangely beguiling.

  <Description><![CDATA[Rob Swainston mixes installation, printmaking, sculpture, drawing and video in an exploration of social and historical processes.  Because Swainston works large and in multiples he can cut up, overprint, combine, repeat and reassemble work in multiple ways.  He is constantly rebuilding and reassembling work while adding new components and destroying old.  For him, this process is analogous to how our social world is constructed.

Centennial Drift is an exploration of contemporary American political and social landscape 100 years after the ‘closing of the American frontier.’ The show consists of three components: a large woodblock Centennial, smaller collage-drawings Drifts, and a video/print juxtaposition, Arch. 
When the American Western Frontier was declared ‘closed’ a century ago, the event was greeted with a certain unease among historians and political actors, stemming from a perception that the frontier served an important distraction from the political machinations of real power relations. Adrift in the ‘American Century’ that followed, the frontier has been replaced variously by global empire, mass media, consumerism, the cold war, the space race, the space age, and, more recently globalization and the digital frontier. 

Centennial, a large woodblock print mural spanning three walls in the main gallery is a black and white print, derived from a jigsaw block of distressed, cut and reassembled plywood printed on heavy watercolor paper.  It acts as a vacant stage that once possessed the expansive hope of the American frontier and now has been reduced to an empty wall—a ‘post-landscape landscape’, at once evoking historiography, topography and cosmology. 
Drifts, a series of smaller print/collage/drawings loaded with fragmented content, accumulated from the lost hope and aspirations of the ‘American Century’, contain like snowdrifts, unlikely accumulations of images that can be mentally placed or projected onto the vacant landscape of Centennial. 

The video/print installation, Arch reveals the nature of the spectacle of political machinations, and the robust reproduction of power structures.  The departure point for Arch is a large 16th century multi-woodblock print by Albrecht Durer, Triumphal Arch.  The original print featured interchangeable panels in an architectural armature.  The panels, functioning as propaganda, could be removed, replaced, or relocated depending upon political necessity and imperial whim.  Arch is a redrawn, reconfigured, and updated Triumphal Arch positioned within the context of American Spectacle.

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

  <Description><![CDATA[Iannis Xenakis: Composer, Architect, Visionary explores the fundamental role of drawing in the work of avant-garde composer Iannis Xenakis (1922–2001). One of the most important figures in twentieth-century music, Xenakis originally trained as an engineer and was also known as an architect, developing iconic designs while working with Le Corbusier in the 1950s. This North American premiere of Xenakis's visual work is comprised of samples of his pioneering graphic musings, architectural plans, compelling preparatory mathematical renderings, and pre-compositional sketches—in all, nearly 100 documents created between 1953 and 1984. The exhibition is accompanied by an exciting schedule of public programs, concerts, and symposia around New York City. ]]></Description>

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

The exhibition is accompanied by individual collages and her own writings. Black says: &quot;In many ways my collages are similar to poems but translated from visuals, taking symbols, textures and &quot;found&quot; words from else where and composing them within a page.&quot;]]></Description>

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

  <Description><![CDATA[Norton, a self-taught artist from St. Louis, utilizes a 29-cent Bic pen and a stippling technique to create remarkably direct photorealist faces, which he clothes in wallpaper collage. Civil Rights, a dramatic, multi-figure installation, starkly portrays the most horrifying and heart-rending acts of the American Civil Rights Movement: the lynchings, segregationist rallies, Ku Klux Klan activities and other extreme injustices of the period. Originally shown at White Flag Projects in St. Louis, the version to be shown at Jim Kempner will include new drawings of Martin Luther King.
Believing that he can raise awareness through his emotionally wrought imagery, Craig Norton seeks to create images that confront the viewer withcompelling social problems. In the past few years, his work has addressed a range of issues from genocide and gun violence to Alzheimer’s disease.
Craig Norton was invited to participate in the 2009-2010 Vancouver Biennale, and was recently awarded a Fountainhead Residency in Miami. His work is in the collections of the deYoung Museum in San Francisco, and numerous private collections.]]></Description>

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

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

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

  <Description><![CDATA[Mixed Greens presents Christina Mazzalupo’s fourth solo exhibition with the gallery. Stomachache is a multimedia exhibition quantifying and categorizing the eight weeks leading up to her 40th birthday. 

Over the past six years, various alternative healthcare practitioners have requested Mazzalupo keep daily journals listing food intake and physical symptoms. This tracking had mixed results: some relationships offered clarity while others produced only confusion. 

During the summer of 2009, a few months before her 40th birthday, Mazzalupo decided to once again record her daily routines. This time, however, she expanded her subject matter to include emotions experienced, medications and supplements taken, fears, and travels. She also noted various decisions and significant topics that arose. 

For the show, the results of her extensive, pseudoscientific data collection are translated into eight drawings—one to represent each week. These are accompanied by interpretive oil paintings and sketches, along with a video of over one hundred words associated with the endeavor. Charts from the collected data (pie and others) exist as unique clay sculptures. 

The objective of the project was to determine whether looking so scrupulously at the minutia in her life would provide a logical method of problem solving or become the source of greater disorder. As Mazzalupo puts it, “we often feel a compulsion to plunge into our habits and let the chatter of our minds run wild, to dissect and reassemble in order to figure it all out.” Mazzalupo engages and chronicles this running wild and all of its by-products.  The result is a darkly comic look at the act of paying attention.

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

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

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

  <Description><![CDATA[Through the medium of graphite powder, George Hrycun's drawings depict three dimensional shadows; a sustained record of objects that are no longer present.  The objects creating the shadow have been removed. What remains is the shadow alone, a visual forum for the discrepancy between perception and comprehension.

Mike Baur uses industrial materials to make artifacts that have all the physical presence of forms shaped by natural forces.   His sculpture inhabits a world beyond formalistic concerns where the most common materials transcend their origins.   This is a selection of recent sculpture by a mature artist who fully understands the unique power of the three-dimensional object.

Subdued, textured cityscapes are Spanish artist Alejandro Quincoces' subjects for his masterworks of understatement. Atmospheric and melancholy, the astuteness of the observation is intensified by a roughshod, frenetic surface texture that obliterates any sense of polish and leads the viewer deeply into the agonized beauty of the urban universe. The execution of the paintings transcends any attempt to name or identify the specific locales depicted, and they are instead realized as prototypical, iconic megalopolitan vistas.

Steve Gross and Susan Daley's series of black and white silver gelatin photographs are the result of a twenty year long exploration of the vernacular architecture and landscape in a remote county in upstate NY. The images are a narrative of a disappearing yet stoic way of life as shown in the timeworn, often abandoned buildings that are slowly dissolving back into the land.  The images transcend one particular place and time and speak of collective memories and mysteries.

Cara Wood Ginder's paintings appear as small blackboards with miniature &quot;chalk&quot; drawings in the corners.  In the center, Wood-Ginder paints a tightly realistic object from her everyday life, which when surrounded by drawings that apparently have no relation to the painting, create another dimension for the viewer.

[Steve Gross and Susan Daley &quot;Shew Hollow&quot; (1998) silver gelatin print, 11 x 14 in.]

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

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

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

  <Description><![CDATA[This exhibition explores the life, work, and legacy of Jane Austen (1775–1817), regarded as one of the greatest English novelists. Offering a close-up portrait of the iconic British author, whose popularity has surged over the last two decades with numerous motion picture and television adaptations of her work, the show provides tangible intimacy with Austen through the presentation of more than 100 works, including her manuscripts, personal letters, and related materials, many of which the Morgan has not exhibited in over a quarter century. &quot;A Woman's Wit: Jane Austen's Life and Legacy&quot; also includes first and early illustrated editions of Austen's novels as well as drawings and prints depicting people, places, and events of biographical significance. A highlight of the exhibition is a specially commissioned film by the noted Italian director Francesco Carrozzini, featuring interviews with artists and scholars such as Siri Hustvedt, Fran Lebowitz, Sandy Lerner, Colm Tóibín, Harriet Walter, and Cornel West. The exhibition is organized into three sections: Austen's life and personal letters, her works, her legacy, and concludes with the documentary-style film.

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

  <Description><![CDATA[Gore B has long been an integral part in the street art scene coast to coast, from hand painted signs bolted around New York City, to crisp roller letters hidden around Santa Cruz.  His work, painted either on canvas or scrawled across the walls of bridge underpasses depicts characters of regional importance and cultural significance. 

&quot;Stokenphobia&quot; or the fear of circles and round objects is a fear we have decided to confront head on by displaying the work of many urban artists hailing from New York, Philadelphia, and California on large round metal road signs. If  this  circular display becomes too overwhelming for those afflicted by the phobia they need only to turn around and will find over 60 small rectangular signs painted by the same motley crew of unconventional art misfits. Pandemic is giving those afflicted with Stokenphobia a  chance to confront this debilitating fear.  ]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[The show is composed of forty still life paintings, monotypes, and drawings dating from 1962 until 1990, coming from two private collections. Of the forty pictures, thirty-five have never before been exhibited. They include a peach with almond; a single pear; a watermelon wedge; roses in a glass vase; a group of orange, apples, and pear; and a single dollar bill, the last an exceedingly rare subject for which KULICKE is famous. KULICKE is renowned for his contributions to the field of historic and contemporary frame making, and many of the works in this exhibition were framed by the artist himself.]]></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[Driven by his background in illustration and punk rock, artist and musician Rick Froberg creates vibrant and bold paintings and drawings.  Through designing and producing flyers, album covers, posters, t-shirts, etc, he has developed a unique graphic style in his artwork.  He does not necessarily work with a preconceived concept, but instead lets the work evolve freely and organically, yet always with skill and precision.

Originally from Los Angeles, Rick Froberg now lives in Brooklyn, NY.  He is a self-taught artist. At 16, he started his own fanzine, Subculture, which was his first experience with many of the commercial and production art techniques he still employs to this day.  He has been a member of the bands Crash Worship, Pitchfork, Drive Like Jehu, Hot Snakes, and currently, Obits. He has worked on illustration projects with Gary Panter and for Deitch Projects. His artwork has been exhibited both internationally and nationally including at Clementine Gallery in New York City and New Image Art in Los Angeles.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  <Description><![CDATA[McCaffrey Fine Art is proud to present a survey exhibition of the work of William Scott. The first major overview of Scott s work in New York in almost twenty years, it features thirty-five paintings and works on paper created between 1950 and 1986. 

Born in Greenock, Scotland, in 1913 and reared in Northern Ireland, Scott received his art training in Belfast and London. An outward-looking soul in the often provincial London art scene, Scott was engrossed with developments in the arts of continental Europe and the United States throughout his career. While remaining faithful to the centuries-old genres of still life and the nude, he pursued innovation through the use of an intentionally awkward line, aggressive impasto, and flattened perspective, creating works that possess great subtlety and resonance.

Repeatedly marking, refining, erasing, adding, and deleting, Scott established a dialogue between subject, background, and genre, through which an expression of an entirely different thing grows, a figure into landscape or into a still life, a man into a woman. This in-between-ness is at the heart of Scott s work as he once remarked, I am an abstract artist in the sense that I abstract. I cannot be called non-figurative while I am still interested in the modern magic of space, primitive sex forms, the sensual and the erotic, disconcerting contours, the things of life. 

Upon meeting Mark Rothko and Jackson Pollock on a visit to New York in 1953, he found new freedom in scale and color, and his canvases enlarged and the palette warmed upon his return to Britain. Scott s first exhibition in New York took place the following year at the Martha Jackson Gallery, where he would show until 1979, to great acclaim. However, a lapse in representation in the United States thereafter led to the virtual disappearance of this singular figure from the American viewing public. Scott passed away in 1989, and this exhibition presents an opportunity to become reacquainted with the artist and his work.

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

  <Description><![CDATA[CUT &amp; COLOR is a series of mixed media collages and artists books based on the persona of Jane Russell, one of the first “bad girl” movie stars whose sensual omnipotent persona was a harbinger of today’s cult of celebrity. Jane’s image is appropriated from a vintage coloring/paper doll book made for little girls combined with icons from current fashion, film, tattoo and skin magazines. An early Barbie, she works, plays, travels, sails, dresses and socializes -- always alluring and always in total control. But, while Jane’s gaze conveys confidence and an assertive engagement with the world and is slightly illicit, in my work she is simultaneously struggling and unraveling, losing body parts, morphing and fragmenting or disappearing entirely into herself. It is these very human states of uncertainty, fear, anxiety, and obsessiveness that interests me in exploring the disparate clash of public message and personal reality. My working process of cutting, tearing, layering, sanding and layering again with drawing and color, parallels my fascination with simultaneous levels of meaning as I explore my own emotional identity,and reflect upon the many contradictions of being female. This additive process with its cumulative layering of paper, drawing, images and color creates a dense web of vision that incorporates accident and improvisation. My unique artists books, whose structures are altered children’s cardboard books, add glitzy decorative objects to collage ,and reflect upon Jane’s various body parts and their need for adornments along with simple directives for the voyage through life.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Soapbox Gallery presents the two person exhibition &quot;Transformed Conversation&quot; with New York based artist Brad Darcy and Burma based artist Chaw Ei Thein.  In &quot;Transformed Conversation&quot;, Mr. Darcy and Ms Chaw Ei Thein explore the artist's self conscious role in the engagement of social and political issues, and the responsibility to communicate perspectives on an aesthetic level. 

Mr. Darcy has been concentrating on human evolution as the central theme of his work, and for &quot;Transformed Conversation&quot; his exploration consists of abstracted cyclical interpretations.  Through sketches, animations, and paintings, his physically charged lines and manipulated imagery touch on various themes including mass media, connectivity, as well as natural phenomena.

Ms Chaw Ei Thein explores political truths of her native country, Burma.  Assimilating current Burmese realities, her sculptures are dedicated to those who have suffered political repression and human rights abuses.  In her latest work, &quot;Bed&quot;, Chaw Ei Thein transforms her bittersweet memories and emotions of her exiled hometown into a meditative installation.

&quot;Transformed Conversation&quot; is curated by Taiwan and NY based curator NuNu Hung]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[This exhibition in two parts presents a series of drawings the artist Elizabeth Josephson made, while teaching at the Rikers Island correctional facility. Drawing II is an installation of seven drawings of adolescent inmates. The drawings are projected onto the gallery walls with overhead projectors, rendering the boys life-size and an imposing yet temporal presence in the space.

Drawing II – Adolescent Boys
The second part of this exhibition is an installation of nine drawings of adolescent inmates at the Rikers Island facility. In these drawings the artist has captured the myriad of emotions these young men deal with: despair, sadness, anger and frustration - all clearly shown in the boys faces. The drawings are projected onto the gallery walls with overhead projectors, rendering them life-size. This scale transforms the boys portrayed into an imposing yet temporal presence in the space. ]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[&quot;The Hours of Catherine of Cleves&quot; is the most important and lavish of all Dutch manuscripts as well as one of the most beautiful among the Morgan's collection. Commissioned by Catherine of Cleves around 1440 and illustrated by an artist known as the Master of Catherine of Cleves, the work is an illustrated prayer book containing devotions that Catherine would recite throughout the day. The manuscript's two volumes have been disbound for the exhibition, which features nearly a hundred miniatures. The manuscript is as rich in pictures as it is in prayers: it contains 157 (originally 168) miniatures that reveal colorful landscapes and detailed domestic interiors. In &quot;The Holy Family at Work,&quot; for example, Joseph planes a board and the Virgin Mary weaves while the infant Jesus takes his first steps in a walker. Throughout the miniatures are meticulously depicted buildings, textiles, furniture, jewelry, and even fish—painted over silver foil. Many miniatures comprise long elaborate cycles of iconographic and theological complexity. One such cycle includes eight miniatures detailing the legend of the True Cross. The exhibition also includes manuscripts illuminated by both predecessors and contemporaries of the Master of Catherine of Cleves, who is considered the finest as well as the most original illuminator of the northern Netherlands.

  <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[The watercolors of Alexander Purves are made from the direct observation of nature. His approach emphasizes the immediacy of the medium and its ability to capture – with minimal means - the ephemeral quality of light. The watercolor is applied in transparent layers, the unpainted white paper often acting as a positive element in the composition. Rock formations are a recurrent subject, their aspect varying from moment to moment with the changing quality of the light. These rock paintings are made on a small island in the St. Lawrence River, where he spends part of each summer. Another frequent subject is the winter landscape of northwestern Connecticut where he maintains a studio. The colors and textures of this landscape are reflected both in sketches of folding hills and in more focused studies of tangled brambles seen from the studio window. In commenting on his 2006 show at the Blue Mountain Gallery, William Zimmer observed, “[His] subjects are innately unglamorous, yet following Ruskin in this tendency to embrace the overlooked in nature, Alec Purves keeps coaxing eloquence out of brambles and rocks.”

Purves’s watercolors have been included in many group shows. Major exhibitions of his work have been held at the Blue Mountain Gallery in 2006, the Washington (CT) Art Association in 1987, 1992, and 2003, and at the Woodbury Gallery of Antiques and Fine Art in 2004. In 2002 his travel drawings were exhibited at the Hunter College Leubsdorf Gallery in a show entitled “On Site.”

Purves received his design training at the Yale University School of Architecture, graduating in 1965 with a Master of Architecture degree. His professional career has been primarily that of an architect and a teacher of design. He has drawn and painted all his life and is now focusing on his career as an artist.

Having coordinated and taught design studios at all levels in the Yale School of Architecture, Purves currently restricts his teaching to “Introduction to Architecture,” a course he developed which is open to any student in the University, and for the last nine years he has been leading an intensive drawing seminar in Rome for graduate architecture students.

Purves has lectured widely and participated as a visiting critic at schools including Harvard Graduate School of Design, Columbia University, University of Pennsylvania, Carleton University, Rhode Island School of Design, and Ohio State University. He has also led many Yale Educational Travel programs, study tours that have included Italy, France and the British Isles as well as Eastern Europe, the Turkish coast, Egypt and Japan.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[James Cohan Gallery announces their second gallery exhibition by Chinese expatriate artist Yun-Fei Ji. The exhibition will include new works on paper as well as Ji's artist's book, Migrants from the Three Gorges Dam, recently published by the Library Council of The Museum of Modern Art, NY. 

Yun-Fei Ji was born and raised in China during the Cultural Revolution. Separated from his parents at the age of two, Ji grew up on a collective farm outside Hangzhou where, in the absence of TV and radio, he was kept entertained by his grandmother's telling of ghost stories and folk tales. At the Central Academy of Fine Arts, Beijing, Ji studied traditional painting techniques with mineral pigments on mulberry paper in the style of Song Dynasty landscape painting. After relocating to the United States in 1986 on a fellowship from Fulbright College at the University of Arkansas, Ji found his voice as an artist who reinvents the system of symbolic structures found in classical Chinese painting to expose the dark side of industrial development on contemporary life. As Ji states, &quot;I use landscape painting to explore the utopian dreams of Chinese history, from past collectivization to new consumerism.&quot; 

In this new body of work, Ji continues to reference the historical in order to connect with the contemporary. For instance, Ji revisits the treasure chest of folk legends he grew up with while also exploring classical texts such as Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio, a collection of ghost stories by the 18th century author Pu Songling. His paintings are therefore populated by fantastical creatures, animal spirits and ghosts—rude, lusty, slippery and greedy ghosts, who take their inspiration from these tall tales to offer a subtext or critique on the fallibility and corruption seen in Chinese leadership. As in the ancient stories, Ji's ghosts are stand-ins, free to express themselves in ways not allowed to people living under tightly controlled social and political hierarchies. 

Ji's interest in the French libertarian writer, the Marquis de Sade, has also provided inspiration for his new works. Ji draws parallels between the debauched noblemen in de Sade's tales and the Chinese communist leaders, whose hubris caused them to fall prey to sexual mis-conduct and other vices while the public were expected to be self sacrificing. However, in the painting Pleasures of the Party Boss (2009), Ji's use of bamboo in the foreground alludes to a traditional symbolic power, representing purity, humbleness and the upstanding moral qualities that are extolled in Confucius philosophy. 

Also on view is Ji's new artist book, Migrants from The Three Gorges Dam, which is presented in the form of a scroll. This work is another representation of Ji's continuing endeavor to portray the social and psychological upheaval caused by the building and subsequent flooding of the Three Gorges Dam on the Yangtze River in China. This 32-foot long, gradually unfolding narrative tells the story of the tragic effects of the project on those dispossessed by the Dam and the resulting loss of the rich culture from the Three Gorges region. The scroll consists of hand-printed paper mounted on silk that was made with over 500 hand carved, pear wood blocks. It was printed at the famous Rongbaozhai studio (the 'Studio of Glorious Treasures'), which was once closely associated with Beijing's imperial enclave in the Forbidden City. Rongbaozhai studio still makes prints and scrolls in the style it developed over a thousand years ago and has been declared a &quot;rare intangible cultural property&quot; by the Chinese government. Like Ji's paintings, this edition is populated with naturalistic and symbolic images of places and people, from 'floating weeds,' an ancient Chinese phrase for displaced people to phantasmagoric beasts. At end of the scroll, Ji 's calligraphy tells the long history of Chinese ambitions to tame the Yangtze.

  <Description><![CDATA[This exhibition features recent paintings and works on paper. &quot;Solastalgia,&quot; from the Latin solacium (comfort) and the Greek, algia (pain)— which is defined as “the pain experienced when there is recognition that the place where one resides and loves has had a negative transformation.  Weather it is due to a natural disaster, drought, fire and flood, or a human induced event, war, land-clearing and mining. It is a type of homesickness. There are no man made elements in the paintings of Nikki Lindts’.  The artist’s focus is on her figures in the natural environment.  They maneuver through beaches, mountains and forests, often scurrying, bent over or in very direct contact with the terrain. These small, punch-packing paintings are usually created in single sittings. Acrylic paint is sparely layered with large, gestural brush strokes, rendering blustery, nature-based scenes that look like dreams or memories. The acrylic paint is watered down looking almost like ink in the first layers of the paintings and often some of the first layers can be seen in parts of the final piece.  Ms. Lindt’s figures appeared to be worked out in detail but when looking closer you see they are painted in a very gestural manor.

  <Description><![CDATA[Cavin-Morris presents one of the first exhibitions in New York City of artwork by self-taught artists from Japan.  The show will be this first of many exhibitions centered on drawings and paintings with strong abstract calligraphic content, ceramics with an almost deconstructed tribal feeling, and wildly expressionistic textiles.  There is a sub-current that travels through this work; it unravels the tightly wound meticulous constrictions of Japanese Traditional Craft and explodes it into a fascinating world of anti-calligraphy, anti-sculpture, and anti-textile formalism.  The art in this exhibition never loses its Japanese context but its aesthetic capacity to interface with contemporary world art by trained and untrained artists is powerful and non-challengeable.
 
We were introduced to this body of Japanese Art Brut by the contemporary artist Yohei Nishimura, whose sensitive guidance and non-interference has nurtured the creative journeys of artists with disabilities in Japan.  This work is raw and beautiful.   Its ragged edges appear because the individual expression is less about control of technique then the struggle for direct expression and immediate contact with materials and translation of ideas.  The strength of individual styles prevail through the drawings, ceramics and fiber pieces, and this is as much a testament to Nishimura’s sensitive midwifery of expression in a world where too often instructors unduly dominate and influence the work.   He offers immediate help when it comes to the technical process of firing the ceramics. The two ateliers represented in this exhibition provide the artists studio space away form home, but most of these artists continue their creative activities at home as well. ]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Sediment (n.) Solid fragments of inorganic or organic material that come from the weathering of rock and are carried and deposited by wind, water, or ice... Metaphorically, all kinds of visual stimuli are stored in the &quot;sediment&quot; of our memory throughout our lives. In the artwork, &quot;Sediment”, artist Anna Frants explores the scientific principles of vision and inquires how images compiling long term memory are pulled out. Not being classified in historical timeline, sometimes images achieve perfect aesthetical combinations despite a demanding timetable.

  <Description><![CDATA[The exhibition features recent paintings and pastels depicting unique aerial views of New York City, New Orleans, and rural Maine. Jacquette has been painting bird’s-eye views of the landscape since 1975. Since Jacquette has lived in New York for part of nearly every year since 1955, the city is, naturally enough, one of her primary subjects. Her paintings depict well-known buildings, famous bridges, neighborhood intersections, and the like with an architectural accuracy that allows individual structures to be readily identified. Jacquette also creates new compositions and arrangements, however, aided by pastel studies and documentary photographs. Her cityscapes are fluid and changeable, based on intuition, chance, and the fleeting nature of perception. Jacquette’s work often explores night and the effects of bright lights, reflections, and indistinct objects set against the surrounding darkness. While these paintings and pastels are made from direct observation, she frequently enlivens compositions through heightened color, repetition of certain elements, and manipulation of light, scale, and perspective. In recent years, Jacquette has photographed shopping malls and parking lots in rural Maine from a helicopter at night.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Historically, Burchfield has long been associated with large-scale, fantastical watercolor depictions of the American landscape. This exhibition will focus on the artist’s graphite drawings from 1915 through 1950. More intimate in scale, Burchfield’s drawings suggest a complex state of mind as mundane forms take on sinister characteristics: dark shadows dominate the roofline, windows, and doorways of houses; phantasmagorical shapes and gnarled tree branches embody human like forms thus conveying a deep level of emotional fervor.
By presenting these early drawings in a more contemporary context, we hope to shed new light on the artist’s work. An obsessive collector, organizer, and archivist, Burchfield approached drawing as a means of constantly exploring and searching for form and meaning. Sketches and doodles often catalogue the natural world around him, emerging as the link between the outer world of nature and the inner world of the artist’s emotional life. In a journal entry dated July 11, 1952, Burchfield writes, “The subconscious mind seemed to be in complete control—-and I did unpremeditated things which later turned out to be exactly right.”]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Salon 2B presents &quot;The Works of Pistol &amp; CoCo144,&quot; the legendary graffiti artists' first collaborative exhibition at the gallery.

Lonnie Heller, Pistol, is celebrated as one of the legendary pioneers of NYC subway graffiti.  His revolutionary style was widely documented by artists such as Gordon Matta-Clark, and has had a huge impact on future generations of graffiti artists.  Pistol's work was recently featured at the Cartier Foundation's Paris exhibit about the history of Graffiti.

Roberto Gualtieri, CoCo144, was one of the first generation of subway writers in the early 1970's.  A founder of United Graffiti Artists, he helped to bring the aerosol culture into the gallery and museum world through widely exhibited works on canvas and other constructive materials.  CoCo144's work &quot;reflects a modern form of expression, a language, a system of communication, a technology with a branch of knowledge dealing with life, society, and the environment&quot;

A portion of the sales from the Opening Night Reception will benefit relief efforts in Haiti, and a collaborative piece by the two artists will be available for auction.

  <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[During our spring 2009 exhibition season, The Studio Museum in Harlem presented Collected. Propositions on the Permanent Collection. Collected offered multiple takes on the Museum’s collection and included over two hundred works of art by over a hundred artists. Inspired by our fortieth anniversary, this unique look allowed us to view the collection with fresh eyes. During this process, countless themes emerged. This season, we are thrilled for two of these themes—Color Consciousness: Black and Color Consciousness: Blue—to remain on view.

Founded in 1968, the Studio Museum began with a mission to present the work of African-American artists and artifacts of the African diaspora. In the early history of the Museum, the mandate to collect works of art was strong. Guided by the transformative vision of its founding directors and curators, the Museum began its permanent collection through the generosity of artists and donors. Today, the collection contains over 1,600 works of art, including paintings, drawings, sculpture, photography, video and mixed-media installations. It traces the evolution of the Museum from its inception through the growth of the collection and the expansion of the exhibition and Artist-in-Residence programs. Today, the Studio Museum continues to build the collection through the stewardship of its Acquisition Committee and through gifts.

Organized by the Curatorial Team, Collected continues to give us an opportunity to reflect on the great treasures in our care, and we hope it will continue to prompt wonderful discussions about art made now and the past as seen through these works. Throughout the Museum’s history we have proudly shown the collection and have been honored to loan works around the country and the world. We are excited that at this moment we can continue to highlight our collection and encourage a new era of exploration and presentation.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Klemens Gasser and Tanja Grunert present an exhibition of paintings by Paul Jacobsen. This is the first exhibition at Gasser Grunert Gallery’s new 19th Street location.

Jacobsen paints his interpretations of our civilization’s demise as a pastoral, post agricultural, future primitive fantasyland, post-industrial collapse. His paintings and imagery hang in the balance of hypocrisy and honesty, using the language and cues of pornography, Photoshop and a highly fabricated vision of a faultless society.

Slickly painted in a lush, candy colored palate, overly sexed nudes exist in an “Eden-esque” romantic landscape. The naked women interact innocuously with woodland creatures; two black bears wrestle and a doe is comfortably bedded down behind a lusty soft core nude, idly indulging in fruit. Tasteful centerfolds lounge in flowered fields with eco-cottages, horses and yurts in the distance. In Jacobsen’s utopia, social cues have vanquished; leisure time and renewed sensuality abound as well as a reinstated reverence with the natural world. Jacobsen questions our societal norms and investigates what would happen if pre-established codes were eliminated. There is a sense of sweetness here, confounded close behind with discomfort, as vestiges of our abolished society mar the landscape. Familiar refuse piles of cars, planes, metal scraps and consumer detritus exist as monumental remnants of the end of our mediated experience.

Within his work, Jacobsen presents complicated satirical layers of interpretation, as he masterfully exists in the paradox of condemning and exploiting consumer and commercial images. He uses the visual cues of photo retouching, or the loaded vernacular of pornography, all the while implementing them as the formal and contextual language of the painting itself. As readings of the paintings become ambiguous and conflict with one another, the utopian images he depicts become fractured and flawed, reflecting the futile and vain climb out of our corrupt social grid. Jacobsen reinforces the cultural ideals that cause him to recoil by using their vernacular in ironic content and form. In doing so, he reclaims and takes ownership of his paintings, which are by nature, subject to luxury culture and lifestyle. Jacobsen said, “my paintings encourage a future with no place for them.”
Jacobsen’s paintings acknowledge the seemingly immutable societal cues and rigid standards present in our culture; he paints a utopian dystopia through the lens of our current social and consumer driven forward march to self-destruction.
Paul Jacobsen (born 1976, Denver, Colorado) attended Lorenzo De Medici Institutto D’Arte, Florence, Italy 1997-98) He lives and works in Brooklyn, New York.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Chong’s pencil and gouache drawings revel in detail and the exploration of line, form and gesture. Abstract images – minute squared punctuations seamed together by skeins of delicate lines – cluster upon the rich surface of the paper in a haze of plotted points. These purposeful and intricate markings, quietly articulated in gray on off-white rice paper, or with crisp whites on hand-dyed indigo Japanese paper, appear at once ordered and spontaneous.  Connecting one geometric dot to the next, Chong infuses the work with a sense of lyrical rhythm, expanse and calm, tranquility in movement, improvisation. This intimation of music is in part derived from Chong’s accomplishments as a cellist and also her admiration for the work of John Cage.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[In 1960, Ken Price first exhibited his eccentric mound and egg-shaped ceramic objects at the Ferus Gallery in Los Angeles. These sensual little objects with surfaces that include everything from low-fired glazes to car enamel to opalescent acrylics, gained Price (then in his early twenties) immediate recognition as an artist's artist. Throughout the early to mid-sixties, Price continued producing and exhibiting ostensibly separate bodies of work based on consistent themes.

Perhaps more than with any other series of Price's career, these works straddle a narrow precipice separating the elegant from the abhorrent, and the graceful from the crude. Sexual and scatological associations are inevitable reactions to the bulbous protrusions of the eggs and globular asymmetry of the lumps and bumps. In Specimen CJ1303 a strangely shriveled glistening form rests upon a cushioned base like a prize winning biological experiment from a post-war science fair. ]]></Description>
