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[In celebration of Women's History Month, The Grady Alexis gallery presents Women-Made an exhibit featuring the work of Dindga McCannon, Jessica Lagunas and Margaret Peot; curated by Andrea Arroyo. Women-Made is an exhibition that presents three diverse approaches to concepts of femininity and gender roles.

Dindga McCannon is a Harlem-born painter, printmaker, muralist, author, illustrator and educator whose work has been exhibited extensively. She presents one-of-a-kind art quilts and mixed media works made of fabric, thread, metal, paper, paint, and found objects. She incorporates a variety of materials into intricate layers of texture and color, in works that commemorate well-known and everyday women.

Jessica Lagunas is a New York-based Guatemalan artist; she has exhibited locally and internationally. Lagunas presents two series of collages on vintage prints. Her work deals with the condition of women in contemporary society, questioning their obsessions with body image, beauty, sexuality and ageing.

Margaret Peot is a book artist, printmaker, painter and writer. She is the author of Make Your Mark: Explore Your Creativity and Discover Your Inner Artist. She presents Altered Inkblots a series of elaborate swirls of ink, modified with color pencils to uncover a startling world of fantastic imagery. ]]></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[Relief is a group show curated  by Laura Jean Zito

Susanne Pitak Davis’s “Angel in a Flight of Fancy” leads the way on a journey into these artists’ imaginative meanderings. Annelies van Dommelen’s  “All is Well At Noon” is a calming assemblage of everyday objects elevated from the mundane by a bit of embossing. Stacie Speer Scott looking out an Italian window abstracts the lovely landscape, then sums up her Italian experience in a delightful cornucopia of memories. Barbara Keogh’s “Gourdian Knot” reflects on the nature of relationships, while her “Pineapple Friends” suggests her crusty characters have one. Their rough exteriors render Ron Berlin’s “Swimmer” all the more naked as do the gnarly barks of Stephanie Magdziak’s “Copper Beech” and “Pine Tree.” The wood of found objects is deemed holy by Phillip de Loach’s “Prayer Box,” and accentuated by Scott’s  “The Rose.” Kelly Irwin’s “High Class Beach,” a photo of a luxury tire buried in the sand, treats found objects in a different way. Simone di  Bagno’s “Suck It Up” playfully conceptualizes relief in a literal and  figurative way. Miguel Osorio juxtaposes marine elements in an elegantly-hued collage to create “The Reef.” Laura Jean Zito suggests abstraction using reality itself in ”The Red Sea.” Linus  Coraggio shows the  ever-changing nature of reality in “West Side Highway Before the George  Washington Bridge.” In his metal sculpture made from found objects, such as “Double-Afro Piston Head,” reality is turned on its head to be viewed as something entirely unexpected. ]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[When one thinks of Hilla Rebay, the words artist, curator, founder, and director of the Guggenheim Museum often come to mind. But her interests and initiatives as an art and museum educator have remained largely unrecognized. Hilla Rebay: Art Educator features some of her remarkably progressive efforts to provide a variety of audiences—from youth and teachers to artists and museum visitors—with opportunities to learn about nonobjective art, or art without representational links to the material world.
Rebay had a clear vision of how the museum should function, as well as how it should present nonobjective paintings. As museum director, she gave gallery talks and instructed her staff, comprised primarily of artists, to “advise people who visited the museum.” The paintings on view were purposefully hung close to the floor and accompanied by comfortable gallery seating and music to encourage sustained, contemplative viewing of the works. Comment books in the galleries enabled visitors to share their responses. Study prints and posters were sent to individuals and schools free of charge. Nonobjective works submitted to the foundation offices were returned along with a written critique, and Rebay would sometimes note her “corrections” directly on the canvas or paper, in the tradition of the European masters. Painters of promise were awarded scholarships and funding for art supplies.
As a testimony to her foresight, innovative spirit, and intuitive educational sensibilities, sixty-five years later many of Rebay’s initiatives exist today as standard art museum education practice.

  <Description><![CDATA[Curated by Adam Carr.

From André Breton's &quot;La Révolution surréaliste&quot; to printed publications offering space for artist projects today, the magazine has served as a site for artistic production for decades. In Print revolves around the magazine as a location for artwork, looking at recent instances in which artists have utilized this format in periodicals from a variety of origins. Offering a short history of the fusion of artwork and magazine, &quot;In Print&quot; focuses more on recent cases than those of the past, on publications whose contents are entirely available for handling and viewing by visitors. In doing so, &quot;In Print&quot; not only foregrounds the artists' original intention of choosing such an available context as a site for work, but also intends to encourage participation and eschew the frontal, expected relationship of artwork and viewer. Taking the form of a library shelf, with all of the included publications ordered according to the participating artists' surnames, &quot;In Print&quot; is the first in a series of curated bookshelf projects at e-flux reading room. Reflecting the library or bookstore, and mimicking the movement typically occurring within such domains, the inventory of &quot;In Print&quot; will expand over time, with the number of participating artists increasing as the exhibition travels.]]></Description>

  <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[There has always been a remarkable enthusiasm for the work of Elliott Hundley and it has been a particular pleasure to witness the continued growth of interest in his practice and to share his work with more and more people. Coming on the heels of a fantastic year for Hundley, we are pleased to announce his second solo exhibition in New York. Working across the widest array of media, Hundley ruptures the boundaries between collage and painting, performance and photography, sculpture and assemblage. 

Bringing form to the Greek tragedy The Bacchae by Euripides, this exhibition draws from Hundley's interest in mythology, art history, philosophy, and drama. The new works are titled after the play's central characters, becoming elaborations of the characters themselves – the gallery is transformed not so much into a stage set, but into the physical evocation of the text. Transcending illustration, the play works as a vehicle to explore ideas of exuberance and ecstasy, mourning and remembrance, and the construction of form.

  <Description><![CDATA[In Chinese art, the birthday is a celebration of a long and rewarding life. This exhibition—focusing on scenes of splendid celebrations and works incorporating the theme of longevity—draws together examples in many media from the Museum’s collection as well as some exceptional promised gifts.
A recurring scene of a grand reception at a family compound—appearing in a lacquer screen and boxes, a set of embroidered panels, a porcelain vase, and a tapestry—represents the eightieth birthday party of General Guo Ziyi (697–781), a Tang-dynasty hero who was transformed into a popular god of wealth, honor, and happiness. In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, this celebratory scene itself became a metaphor for birthday celebrations and a frequent theme in large-scale works presented to distinguished individuals to commemorate a birthday, promotion, or retirement. The largest works are usually in tripartite form: scenes of arriving guests, the reception, and the family's private quarters.
Themes of longevity were pervasive in art of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and decorative arts, paintings, and garments with such themes were appropriately given, displayed, and worn on birthdays. Long life was encoded in the character for longevity (shou), in scenes with Daoist immortals, and in rocks, peaches, cranes, and flora and fauna of many kinds. Other associations with longevity are based on myths and legends, such as tales of the theft of peaches of immortality from the orchard belonging to Xiwangmu, the Daoist deity known as the queen mother of the west.]]></Description>

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

  <Description><![CDATA[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[The gallery’s first exhibition in over a decade dedicated to the influence of surrealism on American figural and abstract art, spans two decades from 1931 to 1952, the exhibition features painting, drawing, sculpture, and collage by thirty-two artists. It offers a special opportunity to view the works of celebrated practitioners of American surrealism alongside those by artists not typically labeled surrealist, but whose beginnings are rooted in the movement. The broad scope of this group show enables the exhibition to explore the rich and seemingly divergent manifestations of surrealism in American art.

  <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[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[Raandesk Gallery of Art presents an exhibition of mixed-media works by Robert Kent Wilson. Drawing from a selection of works created between 2000 and 2010, Robert Kent Wilson: Pixel by Pixel presents an overview of the artist's evolution throughout the past 10 years. On view will be richly hued abstract landscapes and object studies that draw corners, crevices, and background imagery to the forefront in striking investigations of color, texture, focus, and form.

Taking as his starting point what he calls &quot;discarded stimuli&quot;, or those normally overlooked points of focus, Wilson assembles collages made of written text and found materials such as discarded photographs, color sketches, leaves, and tree bark. A small cropped-out area of this preliminary &quot;sketch&quot; is then enlarged to as much as 100 times its original size, digitally printed, and mounted or framed using pieces of architectural material such as beams, doors, and molding. Without pure figuration or sharpness of focus, the resulting works bring once-unnoticed details into sharp relief. Organic patterns and textures come together with bold colors in candid and revelatory explorations of small spaces, quiet details, and transitions in space and time. ]]></Description>

  <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[The Flomenhaft Gallery  presents Serpent’s Chronicle: new and evocative photo works by Neil Folberg.  He has set himself the difficult task of creating a body of work that brings a biblical narrative into the present.  The images have a direct romantic energy that speaks to our primal senses.   Serpent’s Chronicle is an interpretive narrative of events in the Garden of Eden from the viewpoint of a cunning observer; it is the Serpent’s visual and textual record from that archetypal time until now.

This is uncharted territory, but the presentation of works on silk banners, multi-layer silk constructions and dynamic prints perfectly interact with the subject matter and encompass this very special world of alienation, isolation and germination.  Vibrating with nervous excitement, the peopled landscape entitled “Fear &amp; Wonder in the Darkening Gloom” has the enormous capacity to say it all.

Folberg uses dancers from the Kibbutz Contemporary Dance Company as his models who convey a tense rhythm that resonates with the evocative physical environment in pieces such as “Embryonic Man,” “One at First,” and “Your Ancestral Memory.”  Folberg concludes the saga with “You Weren’t Meant to Remain Immortal.”]]></Description>

  <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[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[All of the artists involved will donate artwork and all proceeds will go to Medecins Sans Frontieres (Doctors Without Borders),an organization that has played an integral role in the mission to bring health and sanity back to the people of Haiti over the years. Their immediate response in the first hours following the disaster in Haiti was only possible because of private unrestricted donations from around the world received before the earthquake struck. They are mobilizing a large emergency response to the recent disaster. They are currently reinforcing their teams on the ground in order to respond to the immediate medical and humanitarian needs of the Haitian people. Additional support will be provided in part by SCOPE Art Show, Benefit Events (www.benefitevents.com ) and other supporters. The benefit will combine forces with the closing party for the SCOPE Art Show and feature a live auction, silent auction, guest performances, and speakers from the BSVAC (BEDFORD SYUYVESANT VOLUNTEER AMBULANCE CORP) who were among the first responders in Haiti after the disaster.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[The content of Edwin Ushiro’s work is as richly layered as the works themselves. Influenced by the memories and folklore of his childhood in Hawaii and with nods to Japanese Anime, he creates his own mythology populated with modern characters and contemporary references. With &quot;At Night, Lights Fell and Loved Ones Returned Home,&quot; Ushiro utilizes his technique of layering paint, ink, graphite, varnish and iron transfers on vinyl sheets to create romantic, luminescent works that focus on the mystery, and histories, held by abandoned and forgotten places.

  <Description><![CDATA[This small-focus show from the Museum’s permanent collection features the 1971 mural-size collage The Block by Romare Bearden (American, 1911–1988), as well as a dozen of his preliminary sketches and photographs, which were recently given to the Museum and are being shown for the first time. As a group, they reveal the artist’s creative process whereby he literally and figuratively &quot;collages&quot; different images and experiences from reality and from his memory and imagination into a tableau that transcends the limitations of a fixed time and place, even as it pays homage to a specific street in Harlem, the New York City neighborhood that inspired so much of Bearden’s work.]]></Description>

  <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[For those who wonder how commercial galleries decide who and what to exhibit, NY Studio Gallery (NYSG) has demystified the selection process with Reality Gallery: American Slide-All (RGASA). This exhibit spoofs reality-based shows so popular in today's mass media through a contest that encourages widespread participation by national and international artists, increasing their exposure and offering a chance at a solo exhibition in New York City. How does the Reality Gallery work?  Now in its fourth year and increasing in popularity, NYSG's judges panel narrows the field from nearly four hundred to as many as thirty finalists.  The top two finalists are awarded a solo exhibit.  The remaining finalists' images and exhibition concepts are included in a group slideshow within the gallery.  The gallery-going public is invited to vote on their favorite work and the resulting winner is awarded a “People’s Choice” solo exhibition at NY Studio Gallery.  NYSG accepts submissions in all media from emerging, mid-career and established artists worldwide.]]></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[Lyons Wier Gallery presents Anthony Lister's second solo exhibition with the gallery, How to Catch a Time Traveler. The exhibition follows directly on the heals of Lister's 50-foot, site-specific mural, &quot;Red Dot&quot;, created for the Pulse Art Fair, NYC (2010), showcasing Lister's undeniable signature style that has garnered him international acclaim.

Known in the Low Brow movement for his intriguing, playful hybrid of street art, expressionism, and cubism all manifested in non-traditional media such as spray paint; Lister's new body of work shows the tongue-in-cheek frivolity of his earlier pieces developing (or decaying) into a more mature and disturbing direction. The deformities and un-done aesthetic resolve of Lister's work provides viewers with a concretization of contemporary societies' psyche - or, as the artist himself states, &quot;making the obvious more, well, obvious&quot;.

In his latest series, Lister continues his examination of pop culture and how a generation raised on American television processes and interprets the symbols and imagery of their youth. The result is gender bending cartoon characters, superheroes such as Wonder Woman and Bat Girl, and other villains of unusual shape and size, that uncover the unconscious sexual desires and repressed taboos embedded in these seemingly innocuous popular icons. The artist insists that his paintings have no overarching message or sociological comment, he simply sees his superheroes and villains as the classical gods and goddesses of our modern society, and likes to toy with the symbols and characters so many of us have grown up with.

The work contains a circular perspective, one that shifts between, even confuses the non-rational inner workings of the child and adult mind. Yet this inescapable paradox of the human condition, wherein we are at all times evolving from and dependent upon the experiences of youth, is unlocked by Lister's painterly antics, and revealed to be the utterly serious and impossibly ridiculous condition it is. Lister's practice is indeed about reality. A reality his work does not claim to resolve, but rather to question, loudly.]]></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[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>

  <Description><![CDATA[During the span of twelve years, a series of events, later hailed as the Civil Rights Movement, would forever change the social and political course of America. The Bronx Museum of the Arts will present two sweeping exhibitions that chronicle both these pivotal moments in the nation’s history and its legacy surveyed through the works of young African-American artists.

As a complement to Road to Freedom, The Bronx Museum presents After 1968: Contemporary Artists and the Civil Rights Legacy. This smaller exhibition includes works from seven African-American, emerging artists and collectives—all born on or after 1968—who have created new work examining the heritage of the Civil Rights Movement and its affect on the lives of this new generation. They include Deborah Grant, Leslie Hewitt, Otabenga Jones and Associates, Adam Pendleton, Jefferson Pinder, Nadine Robinson and Hank Willis Thomas. Using the movement as inspiration, context or critique, these artists address their own personal understanding of race, identity, American violence, and political activism providing new perspectives on and discourse about this critical time in the history of the United States.

The artists’ diverse approaches include Deborah Grant’s 24 wood panels painted in red, collaged with images from the civil rights movement. By taking these images out of context and juxtaposing them, she creates a dialogue about the images, leading viewers to draw their own conclusions about the events. Hank Willis Thomas takes advertising images portraying African-Americans addressing the tension between commodity and race. Nadine Robinson offers a more personal and autobiographical approach through her sound pieces, emitting musical compositions of both black and white musical culture and often alluding to the 1963 hosings at Kelly Ingram Park by mixing sounds of rushing water with excerpts from protest speeches.]]></Description>
