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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  <Description><![CDATA[Ippodo gallery has planned an exhibition on the theme of flowers, ‘Hana’ in Japanese, to celebrate the arrival of spring.  According to the traditional Japanese calendar, February 4 is known as ‘risshun’, the first day of spring.  This is the coldest period of the year, but from ‘risshun’ we are able to sense the gradual approach of spring. 
Ippodo will be holding an exhibition of arts and crafts by contemporary Japanese artists on the theme of ‘flowers’, a subject long loved in Japanese art, in order to share with you all the pleasure of spring.

  <Description><![CDATA[Albertini will be showing two new series of works: a group of sculptures fabricated in ABS plastic using the &quot;fused deposition modeling&quot; process and also several wall mounted, digitally printed, paper collages. Both the sculptures and the collages are developed on the computer using 3D modeling programs.

As with previous work Albertini references art history filtered by personal memory. In both these new series he appropriates a long out of favor modernist device: the &quot;Space Frame&quot;, most notably employed by Giacometti and Bacon.

Albertini notes that, not coincidentally, the computer display or &quot;view port&quot; also functions as a space frame. This becomes apparent in the collages which are comprised of a series of multiple screenshots from the computer display and then recombined in a way that equates with the fractured, time lapse vision of Duchamp's &quot;Nude Descending the Staircase&quot; as well as his acknowledged photographic sources, the works of Etienne-Jules Marey and Eadweard Muybridge.

Bill Albertini, originally from Ireland, lives and works in New York. He has exhibited regularly in Europe and the United States, including: &quot;Mergers and Acquisitions&quot; at The Center for Contemporary Art in Atlanta, Georgia, and &quot;The End(s) of Photography&quot; at the McDonough Museum of Art. ]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Throughout the twentieth century, Harlem has been regarded as a beacon of African-American history and culture. Sites such as the Apollo Theater, Abyssinian Baptist Church, and Malcolm X Corner at 125th Street and Seventh Avenue serve as popular postcard images that represent significant places and moments in this community. Today, Harlem continues to evolve as a center of history and culture. Everyday, changes are witnessed by its residents and experienced by tourists and visitors from all over the world. Harlem Postcards, an ongoing project, invites contemporary artists of diverse backgrounds to reflect on Harlem as a site of cultural activity, political vitality, visual stimuli, artistic contemplation and creative production. Representing intimate and dynamic perspectives of Harlem, the images reflect each artist’s oeuvre with an idiosyncratic snapshot taken in, or representing, this historic locale. Each photograph has been reproduced as a limited-edition postcard available free to visitors.]]></Description>

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

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

  <Description><![CDATA[Bruce Conner was no stranger to death. On September 12, 1959, the first exhibition of &quot;The Late Bruce&quot; CONNER opened at the Bay Area Spatsa Gallery. While the work was in fact late work, to Conner’s mind every piece, whether collage or assemblage, was composed of objects that had experienced a previous life. The Gallery represented a sepulcher containing beings no longer of this world, intended to be revered and worshipped from afar. 
For this first actually posthumous exhibition for Bruce Conner at Susan Inglett Gallery, the gallery will exhibit the late collage work of the late Bruce Conner in the main gallery accompanied by film in Gallery II. Infused with the clarity that is said to accompany the end of life, these wood engraving collages are assuredly the most magnificent and moving work of Conner’s lifetime. Accompanied by what was intended to be his last finished masterwork in film, “Easter Morning,” the exhibition reaches a visual transcendence as we follow the artist through a metaphysical quest towards renewal and rebirth.

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

  <Description><![CDATA[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[The title of this project, I Love This City, is simple and seemingly self-explanatory.  Undoubtedly, hundreds of photographers have created projects with similar titles.  But to Andrey Chezhin this apparent simplicity, almost banality, is significant and anything but simple.  Moreover, it is ambiguous in that he is referring to St. Petersburg, the most ambiguous city in Russia, perhaps in all of Europe. 

At first glance, Chezhin is a typical son of the post-modern era: he is a virtuoso at using different visual languages, his favorite approach is montage, his project is serially produced, his reality is not so much the reality of the city itself (sometimes, it seems there is no “real” city for Chezhin), but the reality of his own photographs. Like an alchemist, he subjects his photographs to numerous magical operations, converts them into silkscreens, and then paints them.  The techniques used by Chezhin, however, are so conservative, they border on exotic .

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

  <Description><![CDATA[Kathryn Markel Fine Arts presents Ghosts from a Middle Place, the first solo exhibition of works on paper by Pam Anderson.
Drawing meaning from everyday events, Pam Anderson's delicate drawing and collage works on paper explore the space between sentiment and artistic formalism. For this exhibition Anderson addresses the events that arise from that middle place of a woman after 40, and losses met: loss of parents, of the ability to conceive, of partners and parts (breast cancer). The given is that life goes on, and her work evidences that there are events to the goings on that merit attention. She says of her work, &quot;My works on paper, by appropriating and adding to the collected &quot;evidence&quot; of my life, pay homage to art's unique ability to give permanence to the fleeting.&quot; Through the medium of drawing and pencil sketch Anderson expresses a sense of being candid without getting obscene, of addressing sentiment without getting sentimental. The stitched pieces of blue, white and sand colored papers that form the landscapes of Anderson's stories suggest that they would prefer to shrink away; by nature the work is shy; taken from an internal place and made into a thin skin of armor delicately knit together. The collage is an object which derives from an external place; it is not made from the artist but collected, placed, and given meaning by the artist. There is something jocular and revealing about this element and yet its dimension to the whole is lonely. Anderson's works on paper chronicles and commemorates personal events as an abstract narrative; her art protects the event giving it durability against the sweep of the everyday.

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

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

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

  <Description><![CDATA[MINUS SPACE announces a new immersive installation by Basel, Switzerland-based artist Daniel Göttin entitled Network 45 with Signs. For the past 20 years, Göttin has focused on making temporary, site-specific interventions that examine the subjective nature of perception. His installations, always consisting of common industrial materials, such as tape, carpet, and paint, playfully respond to the specific characteristics of an architectural site and activate the viewer's relationship to it.

For Network 45 with Signs, Göttin will create a black tape wall installation throughout the entire gallery. At select intervals throughout his installation, he will also install a series of abstract &quot;signs&quot; made of aluminum foil on laminated cardboard, which were informed and inspired by his recent residency in Manhattan's Chinatown.

  <Description><![CDATA[Martos Gallery presents a two-person exhibition of works by Ben Berlow and Graham Caldwell, organized by Bob Nickas.

Ben Berlow's works on paper are mostly abstract meditations on the act of painting and drawing as a spontaneous event. His history as a writer of short prose and poetry links his visual art with the inscription of language, as if painting is a kind of automatic writing. Berlow works on found pieces of paper, including newspaper, exhibition announcements and the envelopes in which they were mailed, as well as on pages torn from old books. Gesture, chance, and accident are welcomed, and he, like a number of other artists working today — foremost among them Richard Aldrich, Xylor Jane, Chris Martin, and Josh Smith — can be thought of as an inside outsider, someone who is well-aware of contemporary art and art history and at the same time inhabits a world of his or her own making. Historical figures such as Blinky Palermo and Richard Tuttle also inevitably come to mind. The breadth of Berlow's visual repertoire encompasses Dada, Surrealism, Expressionism, lyrical abstraction, Minimal, and Tantric art. His work is almost always modest in scale, relating the paper to something held in the hand, something meant to be perceived in close proximity. He foreshortens the space between surface and viewer, an intimacy that is part of his subject matter as well. There is humor and pathos, elegance and irreverence, and a continuous will to misfit.

The work of Graham Caldwell, with craft as central to his endeavor, might also register as somehow inside and outside at the same time. His sculptural practice is based on hand-blown glass, and he produces works that often feature a constellation of elements, both large and small, with myriad associations — to science, science fiction, and worlds both natural and unnatural, molecular and menacing: stalactites, crystalline structures, teardrops, arteries, bulbs, globes, convex and concave mirrors, antlers, talons, claws. Although they are materially fragile, some of Caldwells' works appear dangerous, capable of drawing blood. They are both beautiful and gnarly, able to attract viewers and to keep them at a distance. If it's difficult to link Caldwell to other contemporary artists, or even to a history of artists employing mirrors and glass, it's precisely because his work doesn't immediately remind us of things we've seen before. Although his mirrored pieces have an affinity with the Narcissus Garden of Yayoi Kusama, and his glass sculpture with the work of Josiah McElheny, as they take perception elsewhere, positing a world that extends from the work and the body outwards, Caldwell's is a more fragmented world, one that can only be perceived discontinuously. In terms of what has come before, his work in glass — forensic, cool, and clear — seems utterly al ien and seductive.

  <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[Nari Ward's first solo exhibition at the gallery, features a new body of work consisting of sculptures, works on paper, and video, Ward articulates a dialogue surrounding the idea of support– physical, spiritual, social, and judicial– while introducing contemplation of everyday objects. Employing varying forms of the silhouette, Ward expands on the two-dimensional form, creating three-dimensional and also transparent incarnations to tell a story that not only highlights what is declared, but what is withheld.

  <Description><![CDATA[Kathyrn Markel Fine Arts presents the first solo exhibition of artist Diane Ayott. Ayott's paintings and works on paper shift between balance and distortion, building on the foundations of color, pattern and repetition. Ayott's painted surfaces are worked in great detail; often using bottle caps, lids, and other quotidian objects as stamps in repetitive patterns. The works are an accrual of layers upon layers of marks upon marks, stamps upon stamps and patterns upon patterns. Beneath the quilt, the patchwork of marks, we find geometric shapes, the color developing strata and fields. The textured paint application and obsessive mark-making engage viewers viscerally and are further complimented by painterly considerations of color and form. Ayott hints at narrative, with the additional assistance of titles and bits of collage. In fact, a crucial aspect of Ayott's studio practice is spent with a notebook and dictionary. Ayott says of her work, &quot;From a distance, viewers may experience an overall color palette but once close to the work, small bits of distinct information reveal themselves.&quot; The &quot;small bits': circles, dots, and ovals, resemble data but handwritten. Ayott's lines and marks come into focus as we near and the penmanship takes on a precision. But Ayott's precision avoids rigidity and is often a loosely applied geometry as evidenced in her method of patterning. There is a sense that the work is both a study and a doodle, serious and curious; a habit that enjoys fleshing out the meaning by writing it out over and over again. As viewers we read the results, the surface, the play of line, color and the again and again.

  <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[With reference to the practice of pistol dueling, and the distance at which craftsmen once tested the impregnability of bodily armor, Twenty Paces, reflects on identity formation–the protective guard and the multiple layers of gender-based persona, shaped by social perception amid a disparaging world of distress, desire and consumption.

Hampton guides us into a universe, inhabited by seemingly fragmentized, luxurious creatures, using magazine cut-outs to collage complexly woven female figures created equally by mechanical and organic elements such as car parts, weapons, jewelry and human anatomy over an initially automatic abstract ink drawing, an amalgam of drips and splashes, to develop intricate compositions, miraculously assembling in front of the viewer. Introducing, life-size, hollow suits of armor, constructed of post-consumer waste, recycled plastic, Hampton, explores further the discourse between a charged sexualized identity and its mechanism of defense.

Hampton’s striking heroines, part goddess, part warrior, adorned with corsets and armor, hover conceptually between the historic and the utopian, captured in an ambiguous moment of creation and obliteration, ultimately portraying the fragile equilibrium of a world threatened by ecological catastrophe and economical excess at the brink of disaster.]]></Description>
