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

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

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

  <Description><![CDATA[Elene Usdin makes her New York debut exhibiting her current series Femmes D’Interieur, this month at the Farmani Gallery. Usdin, a Paris based artist, combines both her talents of photography and illustration in these imaginative artworks. Usdin’s stunning imagery also provides social commentary regarding the place of women as the decorations within their own domesticated situations. Usdin will be in attendance for the opening reception.

Usdin, a member of the creative collective Hartland Villa, which includes art directors Lionel Avignon and Stefan Vivies, was recently awarded with the London Photographic Associations Gold in Fashion for the “fair-etale” series. She has also been awarded the 2008 Px3 Prix De La Photographie Paris and the International Photography Awards honorable mention for her earlier series “Self Portrait with Mattress.” Her editorial and fashion work can also be seen in Eyemazing, Twill, and The World Magazine.

This latest series “Femmes D’Interieur,” which has already exhibited at the Gallery of Graphic Arts in Paris, Usdin reflects upon the representation of women as a decorative element, morphing objects like common household items, furniture, and even the countryside with that of women painted in the style of portraits from the Classical Era. This offbeat reinterpretation of “woman-as-object” is at one time unsettling and yet Usdin has the ability to convey this strong subject matter with wit and charm in her stunning artworks. It is has been said of Usdin’s work, “it is always about women – the women of fairytales, of mythology, and of fantasy,” and she provides that same ideology in this series.

Each artwork is a unique original, hand painted C-print mounted on aluminum. For the exhibition the gallery will show a mix of originals and reproductions available in two sizes.]]></Description>

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

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

  <Description><![CDATA[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[The focal point of the show will be works from a newly discovered 1910s sketchbook, works that reveal a confident young Szyk experimenting with Art Nouveau, medieval illumination, Polish folk art, and political caricature. These early sketches and studies, which offer invaluable insight into the development of Szyk’s methods and style, will be juxtaposed with works from later phases of the artist’s career. 

A Paris-educated Polish Jew who escaped Europe in the wake of the Holocaust, Szyk is best-known for his World War II caricatures and exquisite watercolor and gouache illuminated miniatures, many of which were published as illustrated fine art books, such as his famous Passover Haggadah.]]></Description>
