  <Description><![CDATA[The gallery presents &quot;Georges Hugnet: The Love Life of the Spumifers,&quot; an exhibition of hand-painted photographic postcards by the eminent Surrealist artist, poet, bookbinding designer and critic. These bizarre, lusciously painted images illustrate Hugnet’s work, The Love Life of the Spumiferswhere each accompanying text poetically and humorously catalogues the mating habits of a fantastical creature or Spumifer.

&quot;The Love Life of the Spumifers,&quot; or &quot;La Vie amoureuse des Spumifères,&quot; combines Surrealist poetry’s fascination with l’amour and Dada’s tendency towards deliberate grammatical spontaneity and absurdity. Words like bowoodling, friskadoodling and alabamaraminating are concocted by Hugnet to describe the seductive strategies of his imaginary creatures. Each text is dedicated to a different creature, describing how it woos, teases, gropes and molests its intended love conquest. Each Spumifer is illustrated by a gouache “beast,” which is added to an early Twentieth Century vintage “French” photo postcard. The mellifluously painted monsters slyly slither around the bare flesh of the pictured “mademoiselle,” nibbling and tickling, arousing her sexual desire. Hugnet’s illustrations seduce the viewer, parodying the human pursuit of love and lovemaking through these adorable grotesques. Hugnet realized the series &quot;The Love Life of the Spumifers&quot; during 1947–48 and wrote the accompanying texts in the early 1960s. The whereabouts of four of the 40 original Spumifers intended to complete the series are at present unknown. Hugnet composed only 33 texts and one of those texts accompanied a missing work. He created a number of additional Spumifers, maybe as many as 20, which were not part of the final 40 which he had intended to publish as a book.

In collaboration with Myrtille Hugnet, Ubu Gallery is presenting a small contextual exhibition of collages – including originals from &quot;La Septième Face du Dé&quot; and &quot;Huit Jours a Trebaumec,&quot; gouaches and publications made by George Hugnet from the 1930s to the 1960s and unique ephemera by the artist.

  <Description><![CDATA[The first exhibition of the three-part Modernist Art from India series focuses on representations of the figure and the body in modernist art from India after the nation's independence in 1947.
Figuration has been a long, sustained tradition in Indian art - both ancient and modern- and Indian artists had already begun to incorporate secular and non-courtly figures into their works prior to independence. Post-independence, notions of the figure and body became connected with the creation of new cultural identities, as well as the broad social and political concerns facing a new nation.
Reflecting on the predominant concerns of India's artists in the decades after Independence, The Body Unbound considers the artistic and psychic significance of figurative modes in these paintings. As India's artists negotiated professional, social, and political spaces for themselves in a changing nation, the way in which they represented the body continued to evolve. The exhibition will include works from the early 1940s - mid 1980s, ranging from traditionalist representations of Indian villagers and townspeople, to representations of metaphysical &quot;Man,&quot; to the socially and politically charged narrative representations that predominated in the 1980s.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[The exhibition is the third in a series of eight exhibitions and catalogs by the foremost scholar of Tibetan Buddhist painting, David Jackson. Jackson’s current research focuses on the history of Tibetan painting as it can be reconstructed through inscriptions and representations of religious lineages from Tibetan primary
sources. Treating paintings as historical documents, Jackson offers an unprecedented methodological approach to studying Tibetan art. He has examined and contextualized these objects and woven them into a rich historical narrative that provides many insights into the culture and art of Tibet and, in this exhibition, identifies the major players in the development of the Tibetan Buddhist religious traditions  --  teachers, monks, students, and patrons of  historical teaching lineages.
 
The exhibition can be seen concurrently with Once Upon Many Times: Legends and Myths in Himalayan Art until January 30, an exhibition that presents the variety of forms that tell stories of the Buddha, great teachers, legendary masters and their spiritual quests, and adventures of heroes painted in thangkas, murals, and told in front of portable shrines.
 
 
What do such ancient paintings mean to us today? According to Donald Rubin, co-founder and co-chair of the board of the Rubin Museum, “When we look at the portraits of teachers presented in the exhibition, we feel that we know them because of the human features depicted -- balding heads, peculiar facial hair, or protruding teeth. They look like people we might have met just yesterday. And in feeling that connection, we receive the inspiration they offer us -- great saints all of them -- reaching across time and space.” Chief Curator Jan Van Alphen added, “David Jackson fully explores this notion of guru worship and its artistic outcomes, noting the conflicting tendencies present in such paintings—depicting the idealized saint and the recognizable human teacher at the same time.”
 
Mirror of the Buddha includes portraits of the founders and teachers in all of the Tibetan Buddhist schools. Six Tibetan Buddhist sects are represented in all, in rough chronological order. They begin with the Kadam School, followed by Taklung, Drigung Kagyu, Karma Kagyu, Sakya, and Geluk traditions. Within each school, the paintings are ordered chronologically. Grouping the art by religious tradition allows the visitor to observe broad pan-Tibetan stylistic developments. It also highlights a few cases of striking sectarian stylistic preferences.
 
Dating between roughly 1200 and 1550, the images chosen for presentation exemplify two classic Indic styles of Tibetan painting. Most are in the East-Indian inspired Sharri (“Pala”) style, characterized by classic Indian forms, delicate colors, and intricate decorative details. Though this style spread from India to many parts of Asia, it was emulated most faithfully by Tibetans, enjoying its highest popularity in Tibet from the twelfth to fourteenth century.  A number of the later portraits are in the Nepalese-inspired Beri style, which succeeded the Sharri in Tibet in the mid-fourteenth century.]]></Description>

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

  <Description><![CDATA[Who, What, Wear: Selections from the Permanent Collection looks at evolutions in style—self-expression, fashion, artistic technique and societal ideals of beauty—as seen through the Studio Museum’s permanent collection. While artists including James VanDerZee (1886–1983) and Dawoud Bey (b. 1953) evoke the Harlem community as an influential and iconic arbiter of style, this exhibition is national and international in scope, surveying artists and subjects from places as varied as West Africa, the Caribbean and the American South. Including both posed portraits and candid scenes, the works on view emphasize how individuals choose to present themselves, rather than how others have represented them historically. Often these depictions oppose photographic conventions that have reiterated assumptions about what people are supposed to represent, rather than who they are as individuals. The figures on view here defy these practices, demonstrating a complex array of influences and references— hip-hop and pop music, new media and technology, African textiles, traditional dress, street style—that, taken together, refuse any singular “look” or aesthetic and mark culture and tradition as alive and constantly changing.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Characters as diverse as Mickey Mouse, the historical Buddha, Tomb Raider Lara Croft, and the Green Lama have something in common: Tibet. For more than 60 years Tibet has figured in comic books from around the world, at times creating and at times perpetuating notions of a an otherworldly land roamed by the Yeti, inhabited by wise and powerful lamas, or full of dark magic.
Hero, Villain, Yeti features the most complete collection of comics related to Tibet ever assembled, with examples ranging from the 1940s to the present. More than 50 comic books from the United States, Germany, France, Belgium, Italy, Japan, India and Tibet reflect on the depiction of Tibet as a whole, tracing prevailing perceptions' and stereotypes' historical roots, and their visual and narrative evolution over time.
Tibet-both real and imagined-appears across comic books genres, including fantasy comics about superheroes and villains, mythical creatures, and the search for mysterious lands, people, and objects; biographies of holy figures like the Dalai Lama and the Buddha; political comics; and educational comics.
Visitors are invited to read dozens of original comic books-a number of which have also been translated into English for the first time-at a reading station in the exhibition.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[This is the first one-person exhibition of the artist’s work and will feature new prints and collages in which color, time, and subject fade into and feed off of one another.

Paul D’Agostino is an artist who translates, severs, layers, wipes out and remakes images. His semantic abilities and linguistic fluidity are matched by the variations in materials the artist uses to make work, work that is infused with an adrenaline, an intellectual rigor and a clarity that has made this artist an important one to watch. In this one-person show, the artist’s first, D’Agostino presents, along with new collage work, two recent sets of serialized monoprints in which image and repetition battle for recognition on a surface steadied by one’s ability to source a story and make sense in circumstance.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[This 20-panel banner exhibition focuses on the interactions between African American and Native American people, especially those of blended heritage. It also sheds light on the dynamics of race, community, culture, and creativity, and addresses the human desires of being and belonging. With compelling text and powerful graphics, IndiVisible includes accounts of cultural integration and diffusion as well as the struggle to define and preserve identity. Stories are set within the context of a larger society that, for centuries, has viewed people through the prism of race brought to the Western Hemisphere by European settlers.

By combining the voices of the living with those of their ancestors, IndiVisible provides an extraordinary opportunity to understand the history and contemporary perspectives of people of African and Native American descent. The exhibition is accompanied by a 160-page publication and 10-minute media piece.

Developed by the Smithsonian's National Museum of the American Indian with the Smithsonian's National Museum of African American History and Culture. Organized for travel by the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[The exhibition will feature recent painting, photography, and sculpture by a diverse group of contemporary artists including Mike Bayne, John Chamberlain, Andy Coolquitt, Zhang Dali, Richard Deacon, Paul Edmunds, Wolfgang Ellenrider, Tamar Ettun, Myeongsoo Kim, Roxy Paine, Gordon Stevenson, Tats Cru, Mee Wong, and Lin Zhipeng, whose works present visceral urban experiences through referencing the structures, objects and communication that signify urban space.

Zhang Dali and Tamar Ettun create interventions into the urban landscape through performative actions. Beginning in the 1990s, Zhang Dali spray-painted the profiles of anonymous heads on the walls of buildings in Beijing marked for
demolition, in response to the city’s rapid modernization. For Unspecified Urban Site, Zhang Dali presents Dialogue #73, a photograph documenting one such action. Tamar Ettun’s photographic work was initiated by the artist’s walking expedition from Jerusalem to Tel Aviv in which she conversed with the landscape and constructed narratives from its vestiges. Ettun will also be presenting a performance piece at the opening reception in conversation with her photographs. Both artists underscore a sense of urgency for dialog with their respective cities.

Mike Bayne, Wolfgang Ellenrieder, Lin Zhipeng and Myeongsoo Kim present documentation of urban landscapes. Bayne’s work Untitled (Downtown Owl) is part of an ongoing series of photorealistic paintings based on photographs of
downtown Toronto that depict what the artist calls “the banality of our daily routine”. Three recent paintings by Ellenrieder present urban moments removed from their original context. Feuer Reifen (Tires on Fire) is a response to the use and reuse of stock photography. The burning tires present an ambiguous narrative: they could be the result of a riot, an accident or a hate crime. Beijing-based Lin Zhipeng has been documenting Beijing’s youth culture over the past decade, a moment characterized by massive socio-economical shifts in the city. Kim’s sculptural installations displace elements of the city’s private and public spaces into dioramas. In his new work, Kim proposes dialogs between incongruous images and objects.

In selected work by John Chamberlain, Andy Coolquitt, Richard Deacon, Paul Edmunds and Roxy Paine the textures and materials of urban space are depicted, apart from the formal qualities of the urban landscape. Chamberlain’s Straits of
Muse is a chrome-plated bronze sculpture resembling a tree stump that has been transformed into a precious object. The sculptural practice of Coolquitt is based on an alternative architecture in which he creates installations and objects referencing quotidian experiences and encounters. Deacon’s No. 7 is a wall-mounted sculpture from a series of works completed in 1999 constructed from sheets of stainless steel. Although the material references the urban experience, the organic shape references the human body. Deacon calls himself a ‘fabricator’ rather than a sculptor; his work tends to expose his process. Edmunds’ abstract sculptures are often sourced from his native Cape Town. In Roll, Edmunds composed a sculpture derived from the forms of skateboard wheels rendered dysfunctional by transforming them from circular to hexagonal shapes. Scumak series is comprised of works fabricated by a sculpture-making machine created by Paine. The series raises questions about art production while also mirroring industrial production and relating to common urban materials such as tar.

Gordon Stevenson, Tats Cru and Mee Wong present yet another aspect of the urban landscape which that relates to the constructed imagery that exists on the streets. Tats Cru is an art collective that was founded in the eighties at the height of New York City’s subway graffiti movement. Hector ‘Nicer’ Nazario, Storero ‘Bg183’ and Wilfredo ‘Bio’ Feliciano are making a new work on canvas for the exhibition which relates to their renowned street art. Wong’s background as a commercial illustrator informs her painting practice which stylistically relates to contemporary advertising, and in particular the
commodification of women. Until The Morning Comes depicts three women clad in glittered undergarments lying suggestively around Philippe Starck’s iconic gun lamp.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[RH Gallery presents Fictitious Topographies, Daniel Escobar’s first solo exhibition in the United States. The exhibition is comprised of new work from three series on Escobar’s interpretation of the urban landscape, specifically Belo Horizonte, Brazil, where the artist resides, and New York City. Escobar’s manipulation of maps, documents and images reflect an exploration of imaginary landscapes as opposed to real ones replicated in satellite imagery and maps.

In the series entitled Permeable (Up Close), Escobar extracts details from billboard advertisements that he perforates repeatedly and then layers to create new composite images. For The World, Escobar has produced a series of photographs depicting particular details of pop-up books that he made using promotional materials produced for the tourism industry. In Atlas of Urban Anatomy, he constructs three-dimensional fictional maps inside of a guidebook for Belo Horizonte using fragments of actual maps found in the book. These new maps are incongruous with actual maps of the same locations.

Escobar is a contemporary flâneur. In the vein of philosopher Walter Benjamin, the artist embarks on a kind of urban wandering by destroying what is known and accepted in order to introduce new possibilities of experience within that which
has already become fact. Escobar’s pursuits have led to various forms of mapping urban conditions incorporating topographies featuring architectural structures and advertising billboards.

Daniel Escobar was born in 1982 in Santo Ângelo, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. He currently lives and works in Belo Horizonte. Escobar received his Bachelor of Visual Arts from the Arts Institute of the Federal University of the Rio Grande do Sul. Escobar has received numerous awards including the CNI/SESI Marcantônio Vilaça for the Arts, the Funarte Prize for Contemporary Art, Fiat Mostra Brasil, the Azores First Prize for Art and the 17th Annual Prize for Arts from the Munical of Porto Alegre. ]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Horton Gallery, Chelsea presents White Shadow, the first New York solo exhibition by Berlin based artist Natasza Niedziolka.

Natasza Niedziolka's abstract fabric and thread works intuitively integrate enigmatic shapes and evocative colors. Following in the tradition of Dada artists such as Jean Arp, Niedziolka's fabric panels embrace the irrational. While the artist's use of quilting and sewing connect her work with historical, democratized expressive acts, Niedziolka decidedly rejects traditional craft-art guidelines such as functionality and pictorial coherence.

While her compositions are at times vaguely representational, it is Niedziolka's technique itself that recalls the simplicity and clarity of folk-art. Though powerful, Niedziolka's colors and shapes have a random, scavenged appearance to them like early American &quot;crazy-quilts&quot; which were mended and added to generation after
generation, resulting in visually abstract records of time. Where her shapes do approach specificity, glimpses of Picasso-esque collaged, still-lives demonstrating his experimentation with stitching together common objects and substrates may be recognized as well.

On the harsher side of Niedziolka's spontaneous technique, sometimes described as &quot;punk painterly,&quot; her work relates to Dada art-forms not only because of its close association with Arp, but also because of its deconstructed appearance. The work's cut-and-paste quality makes reference to the aggression of collage promoted by radical interwar artists working in Berlin who cut and reassembled magazine and newspaper images. Particularly in works where thread bleeds from the fabric ground and where punctures are emphasized is this attitude most evident. 

At times benign, at others aggressive, Niedziolka's work demonstrates the complicated relationship between Fine Art and pedestrian materiality that artists continue to examine. 

Natasza Niedziolka (b. 1978, Miedzychod, Poland) lives and works in Berlin, Germany. Her work has been exhibited throughout Germany and Europe. White Shadow is the artist's first solo exhibition with Horton Gallery.]]></Description>

From spray paint to oil paint to print making, this group of artists will display a collection of work to be hung in a gallery, but that can also be seen on the streets, walls and rooftops of New York. Their consistency and work ethic have been unparalleled in a scene that seems to be full of come and go artists looking for quick fame. This group has proved themselves time and time again to be among the most authentic and dedicated creators around. Engulfed with the love for what they do, they demonstrate their undaunted drive and creative dominance............... unless it's just all talk.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[An exhibition of never-before-exhibited large-scale collages by rock-and-roll musician Willie Alexander, whose five-decades-long musical career includes stints with The Velvet Underground, The Bagatelle, The Lost, and The Boom Boom Band. For the past 25 years, Alexander has used thousands of yards of packing tape to affix newspaper clippings, ephemera from concert tours, personal photographs, cat litter packaging, and virtually every other material to the walls of his house in Gloucester, Massachusetts. These &quot;crazy quilts from a truly amazing creative consciousness&quot; (John Jacob) will be shown to the public for the first time at this exhibition, which represents Alexander's New York debut.

  <Description><![CDATA[BRIC Arts | Media | Bklyn presents The Bricoleurs, an exhibition at BRIC Rotunda Gallery featuring a range of Brooklyn artists who embrace the practice of bricolage and construct visual works from discrepant elements, creating new forms and imagery. Curated by Christian Fuller and Risa Shoup.

All artists in the show were selected from BRIC’s Contemporary Artists Registry, the oldest registry of visual artists in Brooklyn with more than 16,000 digital submissions from 800 artists. Founded in 1983, the Registry is open to artists living or working in Brooklyn; visit registry.bricartsmedia.org to view a range of artists’ work.

Bricolage is a term used in several disciplines to refer to the construction or creation of a work from a diverse range of sometimes seemingly disparate  things; a person who engages in bricolage is called a bricoleur. The range of work in this show includes: video, painting, collage, assemblage, sculpture and digital printing.

According to the curators: “We have chosen artists for the exhibition who pull together styles and materials that might otherwise appear disparate and unattractive save for the artist’s ability to combine them into one cogent, integral whole… With The Bricoleurs, we turn our analytical gaze more to the practice of creating bricolage less than the product, the bricolage itself.”]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Muriel Guépin Gallery presents &quot;Exposed&quot; a new group show featuring the artwork of: Andrea Dezsö, Donald Graham Hershey &amp; Rogelio Manzo.

Interested primarily in human forms as a vehicle to penetrate human psychology and reveal their true character, these artists all work with different medium -such as embroideries to reveal personal experiences with social myths and family pressures- or use deceptive delicate works that reveal unsettling tension of human existence.  
 
Andrea Dezso received Best show in The Village Voice 2007. A visual artist and writer work across a broad range of media including drawing, artist's books, cut paper, embroidery, sculpture, site-specific installation, animation and large scale public art.The Transylvanian-born Dezsö has embroidered dozens of her mother's sayings and arrayed them along the close-set walls of a maze-like corridor. Andrea Dezsö has shown her work in museums and galleries around the world.    
 
Donald Graham Hershey's drawing and video works memorialize the intangible world with tangible elements slowly procured from a sensualist's unconscious. Hershey's work eludes one emotional impact. Often rendered in pencil on off-white paper, his drawings explore corporeal disconnections, narrative fragments, and manifestations of distant memory all imbued with a characteristic darkness.  Hershey's drawings are not typically ornamental - sometimes depicting a singular part of a figure, a lone garment, or an aura engulfed by a graphite sfumato.  They are deceptively delicate works that reveal unsettling tension without the slightest use of gore or camp. The series is part of the artist's ongoing investigation on the effects of corporate and mass media aesthetics, primarily packaged beauty and the individual's perception of identity. 

In most of his works, Rogelio Manzo places the figures in the foreground with rarely a sense of an environment. Thus, the viewer is forced to focus on the fragmented visages and figures that are painted with an expressionistic fervor. The surfaces of these works range from thick impasto to thin washes, worn and scratched areas to realistic hand painted hints of skin, flesh and bones, and sleek digital image transfers. This treatment adds to the sensation of his subjects being flayed to reveal their innermost feelings. Manzo's preferred format of squares, often as large as 6' x 6', are painted on resin panel and canvas. Manzo also focuses the viewer's attention on the anguished faces and bodies. His palette of tones of black, brown, gray, and a blood red adds to the feeling of bleak reality. As perhaps accents of optimism, occasional hits of dandelion yellow, sky blue, or cardinal red brightens his palette.  ]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[This exhibition features sixteen large format photographs selected from projects completed during the past seven years. Regarding this work, The New York Times observed, &quot;These images portray an otherworldly place that somehow feels familiar. . .and strangely beautiful.&quot;

Decidedly not documentary photography, Staller captures a poetic visual order in the chaos of industrial sites. At construction sites, recycling plants, and the sides of roads - the kinds of places that go unnoticed by most people, Staller finds unintentional, serendipitous beauty. In &quot;Pilings, Flushing Queens,&quot; the oxidized pilings seem to be a carefully thought out earthwork or a post-industrial petrified forest. Close viewing is rewarded by accents of color peeking through the narrow vertical spaces between the pilings.

In contrast to Staller's earlier pioneering twilight and mixed light landscape photographs with their lurid skies, evocative color, and deep space, many of his recent pictures use a flat, white, daytime sky to isolate subjects in tightly framed shallow spaces. In &quot;Tank Car In Snow, Port Reading New Jersey&quot; the pure black form of the tank car is placed centrally within the enveloping white of a snowstorm, according the car an iconic stature.

Snow is used to strange effect in two other panoramic works. In a frontally formal composition, a plywood wall barricade appears to be a torn photograph resting on white paper. On closer examination it becomes apparent the torn edge consists of an uneven snowdrift. In another image, a battered blue cargo container is framed with drifting snow at top and bottom, the floating blue panel appearing as if it's an archeological frieze.

In addition to playing with ambiguous spatial qualities, Staller's images play with sculptural concerns such as weight and gravity. In one construction site photograph, &quot;Grid and Culvert Tubes,&quot; a study in black and silver, the wire grid overlaid on black fabric appears to be both foreground and background, magically supporting the massive galvanized steel spiral columns that comprise the upper half of the composition.

In the monochromatic &quot;Target Floor, Missouri,&quot; the repeated patterns of tire tracks covering a concrete floor bring to mind the shadings of a delicate charcoal drawing or the markings left behind by a strange yet-to-be-discovered sea monster that scuttled across the ocean floor.

The work in the show is balanced between monochromatic and vividly hued work. Extracted by photography from the real world, many of the objects seem to glow with color, at times confounding our notions about how to read a photograph. In &quot;Rebar Cylinders&quot; brightly colored dots looking like so many dabs of paint applied to the surface of the photograph, are in actuality the painted ends of rusted steel rods.

Rather than just showing us things as they appear, Staller presents his singular vision of aesthetic order and unexpected form that he finds in metamorphic landscapes.

  <Description><![CDATA[Elisa Contemporary Art presents My Hero, a new art exhibit focusing on Superheroes in today’s contemporary art. 

From the days of Greek and Roman Gods and Goddess through today’s X-Men, Dynamic Duos, Fantastic Four and many others, we are captivated by the Superhero (male and female). Is it their superhuman strength and power? Or their seeming selflessness to put the greater needs of others ahead of their own wants and desires? Or the fact that they may embody and magnify a single aspect of the human potential in each of us? They captivate, engage and inspire us in print, on the big screen, under the Broadway lights… and now in Contemporary Art.

In the latest Elisa Contemporary Art exhibit, we see the influences of Pop Art from the 1960’s and explore how five contemporary artists bring modern heroes to life in a whole new way. You’ll see Superheroes including Superman, Wonder Woman and Captain America and meet some new characters.

We’re featuring the undulating, architectural paintings of (New Orleans born and now California) Artist Don Morris whose series “Our Heroes” was inspired by the Pop Art of the 60’s. Using comic books as his medium, Don creates canvases which at a distant appear to be an interplay of colors and textures, but upon closer examination come to life with comic book superheroes who fly, struggle, and climb before us in small fragments and vignettes. Words bubble from the comic book text and are clearly visible throughout the pieces, so the viewer can read the stories of our action heroes.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[The exhibition centers on multi-panel works from the late 1970s, constructed of monochromatic abstract paintings and photographs printed on canvas, and a selection of the artist’s recent works, in which she revisits the themes of her earlier “photo-canvases” through the prism of more than three decades and a revolution in digital imaging.

For more than forty years, Kunié Sugiura has investigated the various uses and manifestations of photography, producing a large and varied body of work that includes unique color abstractions from the mid-1960s, photographic works on canvas from the 1970s, and life-sized depictions of people, animals, fish, botanical specimens and other living things made from the early 1980s to the present using the photogram process.

This exhibition, Sugiura’s sixth one-person show at the gallery, will also include a series of collages in which she applied photographs, paint, and blank exposed photographic paper to large sheets of etching paper. Exhibited here for the first time, they were created in dialogue with the larger canvas constructions between 1977 and 1980.

Like other notable Japanese women artists who emerged in the postwar years, Sugiura went West to fulfill her artistic ambitions. Born in Nagoya in 1942 and raised in Tokyo by a single mother, she arrived in the United States at the age of 20. With few personal connections and speaking little English, she enrolled at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago where the Modernist legacy of the New Bauhaus instilled in her a lifelong commitment to invention and experimentation. After graduating in 1967, she moved to New York and immediately began to show conceptual photographic works in galleries and museum exhibitions including the Whitney Museum’s 1972 Annual Exhibition of Contemporary Painting, curated by Marcia Tucker

In the catalogue accompanying this exhibition, Sugiura notes that “in the 1970s photography was still considered a marginal artistic activity.” Eschewing traditional photographic prints on paper, she experimented by brushing emulsion on to various surfaces, eventually choosing canvas which gave the photographic image &quot;the potential to be as challenging as painting – particularly on a large scale.&quot;

The earliest canvases featured Sugiura's own close-up photographs of patterns from nature – tree bark, pebbles, leaves, rocks – and a particularly extreme series of erotic images, enlarged to a monumental scale. Having drawn and painted since childhood, she freely applied graphite and acrylic paint to these works, eventually “almost disregarding the photos underneath … One day I put a painting and photo-canvas next to each other and liked them better together than as separate works … presenting the photograph as a parallel medium, produced something more radical or original.”

In 1980, while searching for a way to make more dynamic drawings, Sugiura adopted the classic black-and-white photogram technique which she has used ever since. Expanding its technical capabilities to create painterly works with increased tonal variations, deep illusionistic spaces, and saturated colors, Sugiura's photograms evoke traditional Japanese art forms such as Ikebana and Sumi-e painting, while more directly evincing the synthesis of East and West that has always informed her aesthetic.

In 2008, inspired by a growing need to contend with rapidly changing technologies and the image-explosion of the virtual world, Sugiura, for the first time in almost thirty years, used her camera to record real places, creating works on canvas that contrast her painterly hand with the cool affect of black &amp; white digital printing. She writes:

In Asian art there has always been a co-existence of the real and the abstract … New expressions often come from crossing mediums and technologies … I can accept photography and painting as both real and abstract – completing one vision.

Works by Kunié Sugiura have been exhibited at major museums throughout Japan, Europe, and the United States and are included in the collections of The Museum of Modern Art, New York; the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; the Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography; the National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo, among many others.

This exhibition is accompanied by a 32-page catalogue with twenty-four illustrations in color and black and white, and a conversation with the artist.

  <Description><![CDATA[Newman Popiashvili Gallery presents Objects in Pieces, the second solo exhibition of Paul Bloodgood's work at the gallery. The show consists of new painting and collages, which continue his ongoing practice of fragmentation and reassembly.

Bloodgood has made his career mining texts and images from artists, poets and philosophers, reassembling them into landscapes without the constraints of any one specific genre of painting or poetry. His method is based on fracture and assembly.

In October 2010, the artist suffered a brain injury, which altered his optical system. Bloodgood lost the ability to make perceptual closure, to &quot;make whole&quot; images from objects viewed only in part. The works in this show straddle Bloodgood 's two visual worlds. Before, he would break things apart to understand them, now the converse is necessary - he assembles fragments, reassembles, in order to understand them.

Abstraction's imperative to grant the medium priority over the subject matter frees the line, the mark, from what it delivers. In place of a requirement to convey information, there is in Bloodgood's paintings, an exploration of the expressive capability of line as an embodiment of naturalistic form.

Co-founder and curator of the AC Project Room, Paul Bloodgood has been an important figure in the New York art world for the past two decades. His work has been exhibited at David Zwirner Gallery, 303 Gallery and at the 2007 White Columns Annual. He received his MFA in Painting from the Maine College of Art in Portland and his BA in Painting from Yale University. Paul Bloodgood was a 2009 recipient of the Guggenheim Fellowship.

  <Description><![CDATA[Boo-Hooray is exhibiting a comprehensive collection of publications from Ed Sanders’ Fuck You Press, including a complete run of Fuck You, A Magazine of the Arts. The exhibition commemorates the publication of Ed Sanders’ memoir Fug You: An Informal History of the Peace Eye Bookstore, the Fuck You Press, the Fugs, and Counterculture in the Lower East Side (Da Capo Press).


“In February of 1962 I was sitting in Stanley’s Bar at 12th and B with some friends from the Catholic Worker. We’d just seen Jonas Mekas’s movie Guns of the Trees, and I announced I was going to publish a poetry journal called Fuck You, A Magazine of the Arts. There was a certain tone of skepticism among my rather inebriated friends, but the next day I began typing stencils, and had an issue out within a week. I bought a small mimeograph machine, and installed it in my pad on East 11th, hand-cranking and collating 500 copies, which I gave away free wherever I wandered. (...)

Fuck You was part of what they called the Mimeograph Revolution, and my vision was to reach out to the “Best Minds” of my generation with a message of Gandhian pacifism, great sharing, social change, the expansion of personal freedom (including the legalization of marijuana), and the then-stirring messages of sexual liberation. 

I published Fuck You, A Magazine of the Arts from 1962 through 1965, for a total of thirteen issues. In addition, I formed a mimeograph press which issued a flood of broadsides and manifestoes during those years, including Burroughs’s Roosevelt After Inauguration, Carol Bergé’s Vancouver Report, Auden’s Platonic Blow, The Marijuana Review, and a bootleg collection of the final Cantos of Ezra Pound.”

    - Ed Sanders



The run of Fuck You Press publications that blazed through New York City’s underground scene between 1962 and 1965 still resonates with an almost supernatural vibrancy, urgency and what the Greeks coined as enthusiasmos. There were 13 issues of Fuck You, A Magazine of the Arts, printed from 1962 through 1965. In addition, Sanders published a multitude of mimeographed poetry titles during these years, alongside broadsides, manifestos and handbills.

Fuck You was founded by Ed Sanders—Beat poet, Fugs band member, and proprietor of the East Village underground Peace Eye Bookshop. Ed Sanders' editorial voice and execution resulted in a poetry ‘zine that was fearless, sexually provocative and experimental. Contributors included Sanders, Tuli Kupferberg (also of the Fugs), Carol Bergé, John Wieners, Andy Warhol, Ray Bremser, Lenore Kandel, Charles Olson, Joel Oppenheimer, Peter Orlovsky, Philip Whalen, Allen Ginsberg, Herbert Huncke, Julian Beck, Frank O'Hara, Leroi Jones, Diane DiPrima, William Burroughs, Gary Snyder, Robert Kelly, Judith Malina, Carl Solomon, Gregory Corso, Robert Duncan, Robert Creeley, Michael McClure, Ted Berrigan, Joe Brainard, Gilbert Sorrentino, and many others.

Fuck You, A Magazine of the Arts was a mimeographed journal, printed on a Speed-o-Print and later an A.B. Dick stencil duplicator (mimeograph), in an edition size of roughly 500 copies.

Printing on a mimeograph was a cumbersome labor: All the gathered texts needed to be transferred to stencils, the illustrations cut meticulously by hand-held metal-tipped styli into the page of text, the sticky, awkwardly shaped stencil then attached to the drum of the mimeograph which supped on ink and spat some back. If one multiplies the paper sheets needed for an issue of the publication, (36 x 500 = 18,000 sheets), that needed to be collated and stapled to complete one issue, it truly baffles that this was a one-man operation.

This ‘zine was dedicated to free expression, defying taboo subjects, celebrating sexual liberation and the use of psychedelics years before the Summer of Love. Sanders and his collaborators bridged the Beats of the Fifties and the counterculture of the late Sixties, and helped define many of the differences between the two—the latter building on the breakthroughs initiated by the former.

  <Description><![CDATA[This survey of experimental art and design magazines published since 2000 explores the various ways in which contemporary artists and designers utilize the magazine format as an experimental space for the presentation of artworks and text. Throughout the 20th century, international avant-garde activities in the visual arts and design were often codified first in the informal context of a magazine or journal. This exhibition, drawn from the holdings of the MoMA Library, follows the practice into the 21st century. The works on view represent a broad array of international titles within this genre, from community-building newspapers to image-only photography magazines to conceptual design projects. The contents illustrate a diverse range of image-making, editing, design, printing, and distribution practices. There are obvious connections to the past lineage of artists’ magazines and little architecture and design magazines of the 20th century, as well as a clear sense of the application of new techniques of image-editing and printing methods. Assembled together, these contemporary magazines provide a first-hand view into these practices and represents the MoMA Library’s sustained effort to document and collect this medium.

  <Description><![CDATA[This project encompasses vignettes into people’s lives through objects that hold significant personal meaning to them. Through each object on display, a conversation with its caretaker begins; visitors have the freedom to peruse the objects and listen to an accompanying audio guide conversation. It is through these stories that we connect and engage with the person behind the story and gain insight and an intimate connection to something deeper within ourselves. From Bibbe's relationship with her mom through gathering stones to a realization of home in acceptance of every moment as &quot;perfect,&quot; to SKJ's first projector providing the construction of personal and social resources that help shape his creative community. A new inspired look at timeless portraiture, weaving together personal archives and institutional archives, forgotten histories, memories, and embodied experiences in a testament and an affirmation of life and its lessons.]]></Description>
