  <Description><![CDATA[&quot;Folk Art Revealed,&quot; opened on November 16, 2004. The exhibition explores the nature of folk art through four themes applied to a diverse range of artwork from the museum's rich and extensive holdings, many of which have never before been on view.  These four perspectives: symbolism, utility, individuality, and community-- infuse all of folk art and speak to essential aspects of both traditional and unconventional expressions. Spanning the 18th century to the present, the works selected by curators Stacy C. Hollander and Brooke Davis Anderson, invite a deeper understanding of folk art and its role in people's lives.

  <Description><![CDATA[The Early Gothic Hall at The Cloisters reopened in the Spring of 2006 after a five-year renovation. Completely refurbished 13th-century limestone windows and two dozen panels of newly conserved and reinstalled stained glass, primarily from the 13th- and 14th-centuries, are among the objects on view. Four recently acquired and exceptional examples of German stained glass from the late-13th century glazing program for the convent church in Altenberg-an-der-Lahn are reunited in this new installation. The renovation of the Early Gothic Hall also features construction of two new limestone apertures in an interior wall (for the display of grisaille glass windows) and new lighting. The display in this room constitutes the largest and most varied group of 13th- and 14th-century panels outside Europe. Also returned to view are more than a dozen important Gothic sculptures and paintings from the Museum’s permanent collection, including the lifesize Virgin from the choir screen of Strasbourg Cathedral (mid-13th century) and a recently acquired late 13th-century head also from the region of Strasbourg on the Upper Rhine. As a result of a new protective glazing program installed along the exterior wall, rare examples of Gothic stained glass are now illuminated by natural daylight, as they were originally meant to be seen.

  <Description><![CDATA[This major installation of more than three hundred fifty objects from the Brooklyn Museum's premier collection of American art integrates a vast array of fine and decorative arts (silver, furniture, ceramics, and textiles) ranging in date from the colonial period to the present. For the first time, major objects from these exceptional collections are joined by selections from the Museum's important holdings of Native American and Spanish colonial art. The galleries are organized according to a set of eight innovative themes, through which visitors can explore historical moments and crucial ideas in American visual culture over the course of nearly three hundred years.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[The Campin Room at The Cloisters, the branch of the Metropolitan Museum devoted to the art and architecture of medieval Europe, recently reopened to the public following an extensive renovation. The gallery houses Robert Campin’s Annunciation Triptych (known as the Merode Triptych), which has been one of the masterworks at The Cloisters for nearly half a century. The new installation highlights the phenomenon of late medieval private devotion. Two new wall cases allow the exhibition of devotional objects formerly seen in the Treasury, and two important 15th-century stained-glass panels—one representing Christ as the Man of Sorrows, the other the Virgin as the Mater Dolorosa—have been installed in the central windows. Acquired in 1998, these panels are on view at The Cloisters for the first time and contribute greatly to the private devotional theme. New, more discreet lighting has been installed and the gallery walls have been re-plastered to match the original color. ]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[The last phase in the creation of the Luce Center for American Art concludes with the opening of the 5,000 square-foot Visible Storage ▪ Study Center. The dense display of objects in the Visible Storage ▪ Study Center offers you an inside look at how museums work and provides a glimpse of the breadth and scope of the Brooklyn Museum's extensive American collections. As huge as the Museum's building is, just a small fraction of the permanent collections can be displayed in its limited exhibition gallery space. Whereas only about 350 works are on view in the adjacent American Identities exhibition, this facility gives open access to some 2,000 of the many thousands of American objects held in storage, which are now available for viewing and research by students, scholars, and the general public.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Joseph Beuys (1921–1986) is widely understood to be the most important German artist of the post–World War II period. Highly provocative and always controversial, he and his peers reinvented a thriving avant-garde after the long period of Nazi repression. His influence is comparable to that of the American artist Andy Warhol, but whereas Warhol's work features a style and imagery that is readily accessible, Beuys intentionally devised a challenging formal vocabulary, layered with meaning and metaphor. In Beuys's theory of sculpture, the process of transformation is paramount. The changeable nature of fat and felt, his signature materials, mirror this interest. As they are heated and cooled they shift from form to chaos and back again.  The centerpiece of the gallery is a new acquisition: a set of five vitrines accompanied by two wall objects, constituting a mini-museum of works made between 1948 and 1982.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[The New Galleries for 19th- and Early 20th-Century European Paintings and Sculpture are reopening with renovated rooms and 8,000 square feet of additional gallery space—the Henry J. Heinz II Galleries—to showcase works from 1800 through the early twentieth century. The renovated galleries feature all of the Museum's most loved nineteenth-century paintings, which have been on permanent display in the past, as well as works by Bonnard, Vuillard, Soutine, Matisse, Picasso, and other early modern artists. Among the many additions are a full-room assembly of &quot;The Wisteria Dining Room,&quot; a French art nouveau interior designed by Lucien Lévy Dhurmer shortly before World War I that is the only complete example of its kind in the United States; Henry Lerolle's enormous The Organ Rehearsal (a church interior of 1885); a group of newly accessioned nineteenth-century landscape oil sketches; and a selection of rarely exhibited paintings by an international group of artists.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[The opening of the new Hellenistic, Etruscan, and Roman galleries—an entire wing housing over 5,300 objects in more than 30,000 square feet—completes the reconstruction and reinstallation of the permanent galleries of Greek and Roman art. The newest galleries present Hellenistic art and its legacy alongside those of Southern Italy and Etruria, forming the background to the story of Rome from the Late Republican period and the Golden Age of Augustus's Principate to the conversion of Constantine the Great in A.D. 312. The centerpiece of the new installation is the Leon Levy and Shelby White Court, a dramatic, skylit space that links the various galleries and themes. These include displays of the art of Magna Graecia and the world of the Etruscans, together with the stunning collection of Roman wall paintings that is unrivaled outside of Italy. The presentation of the art of the Late Hellenistic and Early Imperial periods is crowned by the newly reconstructed Cubiculum from the villa at Boscoreale near Pompeii and the Black Bedroom from Boscotrecase. In addition, on the mezzanine floor overlooking Fifth Avenue, there is a large display covering the entire cultural and chronological span of the department's rich collection.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Historically, the kingdoms of the Kathmandu Valley comprised the political, religious, and cultural entity known as “Nepal.” Located between India and Tibet, the Valley has been the crossroads of trans-Himalayan trade, the shared sacred site of various Himalayan religions, and the epicenter of Himalayan arts production and influence. This unique position has fostered a tremendous amount of cultural and religious exchange in Kathmandu, thus establishing a living creative tradition that is one of the single most important influences in Himalayan art history. This exhibition features the finest examples of Nepalese art from the RMA collection, highlighting the variety of forms and subjects, techniques and media that emerged from the Valley’s creative matrix.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[In the face of the social upheaval of the past few decades, the family has remained territory that is routinely explored in art. The intergenerational selection of work on view in this installation demonstrates that familial relationships continue to provide a rich source of artistic material, while the concept of the family has also been extended beyond blood ties to embrace larger groups or communities united by shared values, identities, lifestyles, or emotional needs. The artists express fluid definitions of the family and domesticity, drawing on experiences that are private and public, individual and communal. As members of a community that is both homegrown and globetrotting, many of the artists in this installation also transcend national boundaries, representing a new twenty-first-century breed that travels to create work in cities around the world.

Extended Family: Contemporary Connections highlights recent acquisitions and presents them alongside notable works that entered the collection over the past five decades. The Museum’s contemporary collecting focuses on art of the twenty-first century, which has seen the rise of Brooklyn as one of the most vibrant centers of cultural production in the world. Williamsburg, Greenpoint, and Dumbo—now established artists’ enclaves—have given way to Red Hook, Bed-Stuy, the Gowanus Canal, and Bushwick as frontiers that offer artists prospects for affordable studio spaces. The Brooklyn Museum has collected contemporary art since the mid-nineteenth century. Extended Family demonstrates the Museum’s continuing commitment to living artists and to collecting distinctive art of our time.

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

  <Description><![CDATA[Although the collection of European paintings has often been presented in a chronological arrangement by school or style, this installation exploits the architecture of the soaring Beaux-Arts Court by devoting each wall to an exploration of the meaningful connections that the works display when arranged according to theme. The section called “Painting Land and Sea” surveys the formal methods that painters have used to render their physical surroundings across the centuries. “Art and Devotion” considers the ways in which the artists of the early Renaissance expressed the central tenets of the Catholic faith. “Narratives Large and Small” shows how artists distill the elements of a story into a single telling moment. Finally, “Tracing the Figure” charts the enduring artistic interest in the human figure, from portraits that place an individual in a clearly defined place and time to timeless abstractions of the human form.

  <Description><![CDATA[Ruth Gilmore Langs approaches painting with an inner passion that becomes evident when one allows oneself to venture beyond the surface of the canvas.  Once inside the painting, you are swept away by the magic of abstract expressionism in the hands of a truly gifted painter, a lover of nature, and a soul mate of other gifted painters such as; Diebenkorn, Hofman and Joan Mitchell.  The journey through her work will enable you to experience the rhythm that is so essential to fully grasp her strength and vision as well as her passion.  Ruth’s intuitive sense of color and composition is her natural state of being, it is her mind set, as is her ability to capture the landscape with the freedom of a child rolling down the hillside only to change direction by dashing up again to meet a clear blue sky.  Here is where you find the magic, in the realization that when you truly allow the work to capture your imagination, you allow yourself the vulnerability of a child and dare to dance among the lush colors of innocence and thus surrender to the transformative nature of ‘Paint’.

  <Description><![CDATA[Josh Smith painted forty-seven paintings directly on the wall to create On The Water, his exhibition at Deitch Studios.

There is a feeling of the uncanny when one enters the space. One senses that there is something off, not quite right. There is a brief period of perceptual adjustment when the viewer begins to realize that the five by four foot rectangles, spaced evenly around the walls like standard canvases, are not actually canvases. They are paintings painted right onto the wall.

Josh Smith wanted to create a show of paintings that looked like something else. The intention was to make “art without an art object” and to take the commodity out of the art. There is nothing in the exhibition to covet or to buy. The work is only to be looked at. He wanted to “bring painting down.”

The work has a lightness and a sense of weightlessness. It also has an immediacy and a feeling of directness. The forty-seven works were completed in just three and one half days. The space between the paintings is important and Smith recalls that the most difficult part of the project was restraining himself from doing too much.

The paintings have a fluidity that reflects the flow of water on the river, visible through the gallery windows. The paintings seem to float. The paintings are in fact all water based. They are painted with India ink and gouache, which is like an opaque watercolor. Smith describes his use of gouache and the bright palette of many of the works as “concentrated vibrant watercolor.” Unlike in oil painting, the colors do not get muddy. The colors remain sharp and crisp. In Smith’s words, “there is no power loss.” He emphasizes that “everything that went into the paintings is still there.”

“Painting is like talking for me,” Smith explains. “It is how I communicate.” He thinks of his five by four foot painting size as a standard template, like the stack of composition paper on a writer’s desk. “The size of the paintings fits people well,” he says. Smith thinks of himself as his first viewer and claims to remember everything that he makes. In the Deitch Studios installation, one can see a whole room full of paintings at once. The viewer can see how the paintings are made, and Smith asserts that the viewers could actually make the paintings themselves. The process is deliberately demystified. Smith says that he has been criticized for making too much work. In fact, he thinks that he does not make enough work.

Josh Smith is known for three themes, all of which are explored in the Deitch Studios installation:

The Signature

Smith looked for something with the meaning stripped out of it. “Josh Smith” is a bland name, and an ideal armature for painting.

The Leaf

The image is derived from an actual oak leaf that the artist keeps in a cigar box in his studio. He has painted it several hundred times. The leaf is softer and more “figurative” than the signature. With the leaf and the fish, he is trying to “show more heart.”

The Fish

The fish can be painted in three or for lines. “You cannot paint it wrong.”

Josh Smith has drawn on his print making background and his study of the work of Picasso, Duchamp, de Kooning, Rauschenberg, Warhol, Polke, Wool, Oehlen and Kippenberger to create a new approach to abstraction. His “simple” work opens a fresh and complex set of possibilities for painting.

On The Water is a collaborative project between Luhring Augustine and Deitch Projects. ]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[The work of Post-Impressionists, such as Paul Gauguin and Vincent van Gogh, Henri Matisse and the Fauves, and the Cubists in Paris, all informed the development of Expressionist art in the years immediately preceding World War I. The practitioners of this style, largely working and exhibiting in Germany, crossed paths via various associations and were also deeply influenced by their encounters with Japanese and African art, as well as Germanic folk art. From Vasily Kandinsky to Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, artists who came to be associated with Expressionism sought to convey the communicative force of color through vibrantly hued canvases and bold forms.

The connections among these different artists were severed with the 1914 outbreak of World War I. Nonetheless, the postwar period saw the reunion of Kandinsky, Klee, and Jawlensky, who together with Lyonel Feininger, formed the Blue Four group in the United States. It was then that these artists were able to pursue their color theories with renewed vigor.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[The FLAG Art Foundation presents &quot;Size DOES Matter&quot;, curated by basketball legend Shaquille O'Neal. This exhibition includes works from international artists exploring the myriad ways that scale affects the perception of contemporary art.

Weighing 320 pounds and standing 7'1&quot; atop his size 22 shoes, Shaq is one of the most dominant players ever to play in the NBA.  Throughout his career, O'Neal has capitalized on his size and strength to overpower opponents for points and rebounds earning him nicknames such as Diesel and Superman.  Now Shaq takes the opportunity to reflect on his size with an exhibition boasting works from microscopic to giant pieces that have the ability to dwarf and exaggerate everyone -- even Shaq himself.

The exhibition will include works in a variety of media that employ scale as a key component of their composition. Every work in the show was selected by Shaq himself or is being newly made at his request.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Photographs are often perceived as transparent windows onto a three-dimensional world. Yet photographs also have their own material presence as physical objects. Contemporary artists who exploit this apparent contradiction between photograph as window and photograph as object are featured in Surface Tension. The exhibition presents 30 works that play with the inherent tension between the flatness of the photograph and the often lifelike illusion of depth. Surface Tension highlights the ways in which artists use photographic and multi-media techniques to direct our attention to the physical surface of the photograph. Among the works featured are photographs that have been purposely scratched, burned, or painted on, as well as photograms made by placing objects directly on top of a sheet of photographic paper. The exhibition is drawn entirely from the permanent collection and features several recent acquisitions and other contemporary photographs never before shown at the Museum. ]]></Description>

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

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

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

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

  <Description><![CDATA[The Museum of Modern Art presents an installation that will, for the first time since the Museum's reopening in 2004, feature the full group of Claude Monet's late paintings in the collection. These include a mural-sized triptych &quot;Water Lilies, 1914–26&quot; and a single-panel painting of the water lilies in the Japanese-style pond that Monet cultivated on his property in Giverny, France &quot;Water Lilies, 1914–26,&quot; as well as &quot;The Japanese Footbridge&quot; (c. 1920–22) and &quot;Agapanthus&quot; (1914–26), depicting the majestic plants in the pond's vicinity. These paintings have long held a special status with the Museum's audiences and, much like MoMA's Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Sculpture Garden, they provide a modern oasis in the center of midtown Manhattan. These works will be complemented by two loans of closely related paintings.

  <Description><![CDATA[Justin K. Thannhauser (1892–1976) was the son of art dealer Heinrich Thannhauser (1859–1935), who founded the Moderne Galerie in Munich in 1909. From an early age, Thannhauser worked alongside his father in the flourishing gallery and helped to build an impressive and versatile exhibition program that included the French Impressionists and Post-Impressionists, the Italian Futurists, and regularly featured contemporary German artists. The Moderne Galerie presented the premier exhibitions of the New Artists’ Association of Munich (Neue Künstlervereinigung München) and The Blue Rider (Der Blaue Reiter), both of which included Vasily Kandinsky, in 1901 and 1911, respectively. Kandinsky later described the gallery’s rooms as “perhaps the most beautiful exhibition spaces in all of Munich.” The Moderne Galerie also mounted the first major Pablo Picasso retrospective in 1913, thus initiating the close relationship between Justin K. Thannhauser and Picasso that lasted until the artist’s death in 1973.

The Thannhausers’ commitment to promoting artistic progress paralleled the vision of Solomon R. Guggenheim (1861–1949). In appreciation of this shared spirit, and in the memory of his first wife and two sons—who might have continued in the family’s art trade had they not died at tragically young ages—Thannhauser gave a significant portion of his art collection, including over 30 works by Picasso, to the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation in 1963. From 1965 until Thannhauser’s death in 1976 (when his collection formally entered the Guggenheim’s holdings), the Thannhauser Collection was on long-term loan to the museum. A bequest of 10 additional works received after Hilde Thannhauser’s death in 1991 enhanced the legacy of this family of important art dealers.

  <Description><![CDATA[This will be the first exhibition at P.S.1 of works drawn from virtually all of the collecting areas of  The Museum of Modern Art and will fill P.S.1’s second-floor galleries with examples of painting, sculpture, photography, print, illustrated books, design, drawing, media, and film, nearly all produced during the year 1969. These works will explore the artistic aesthetic incited by a period marked with revolution and socio-political tumult. Within the collection show will be a series of interventions by a current generation of artists whose work will refract the concerns of 1969 and the MoMA collection forty years after the original date and on the 80th anniversary of the museum.

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

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

  <Description><![CDATA[Stellan Holm Gallery presents an exhibition of new works by painter Martin Mull, entitled The Four Seasons and Other New Works. This will be Martin Mull's second solo exhibition at Stellan Holm Gallery.

In The Four Seasons and Other New Works, Martin Mull's reinterpretation of the theme of the four seasons finds itself transplanted onto the contemporary landscape of Los Angeles, CA. This series of four large-scale, color paintings depicts various black-and-white nude figures residing within the colorful, suburban backdrop of LA, where a lack of any distinguishable season becomes quickly apparent. The reference points for the human figures are culled from popular nudist magazines from the 1950's and 60's. Combined with the artist's own photographs of LA taken with a disposable 35mm camera; the result is a pastiche of time, place, and season, where fragments of an ambiguous narrative unfold.

In a series of small black-and-white paintings, Mull revisits the imagery of vintage nudist magazines, in which nude figures partake in ordinary, quotidian activities. These bucolic and candid images convey something entirely different than the traditional, posed nude so prevalent to the history of Western art. They appear to lack any sense of self-consciousness; their presence simultaneously intimate yet unfamiliar, commonplace yet curious.

Mull utilizes a unique blend of traditional painting techniques and postmodern appropriation, whereby the artist pieces together imagery from multiple photographic sources, then renders them in paint. A cutout, collage feeling is retained, allowing the viewer a glimpse into the process. Mull frequently paints his subjects in grisaille, a technique of rendering in varying shades of gray. The monochromatic palette not only gives a sculptural quality to its figures, but also allows the viewer to step back to a time and place before the use of color photography.

Born in 1943, Martin Mull was raised in the era that he illustrates. He received his BFA (1965) and MFA (1967) from Rhode Island School of Design.

  <Description><![CDATA[These small paintings are made anonymously in India by practitioners of tantra, some of whom are artists, to signify and stimulate specific mental and/or spiritual experiences. While they are traditional images that have evolved over centuries with highly conventionalized forms and colors, they exude such a high level of intentionality that they continually appear fresh and alive. Despite their didactic function, they also have a history of being coveted as decorative objects and abstract art.

  <Description><![CDATA[Physical negotiations are paramount in Dault's three-dimensional practice, particularly those between the recalcitrance of her industrial materials and her desire to marshal them into unexpected forms. Her sculptures, made from Formica, Plexiglas, wood, and aluminum, often have dents, scrapes, or jagged shards-testament both to the components' previous life and to the sheer effort underpinning the finished works' austerity. These sinuous forms are often anchored to the wall with bricklayers' nylon string, which affirms the &quot;control&quot; Dault has managed to exert. The sculptures exemplify the precise meeting point between their materials' physical properties and the artist's manual dexterity: unlike the works of Dault's artistic forebears, which were often outsourced to production companies, to date she has always worked alone, creating a &quot;performed&quot; Minimalism in-situ. Of course, the &quot;totality&quot; of this control, as in life itself, is an illusion, and the sculptures' solidity can never be fully fixed. Achieving balance, often with unconventional, commercially available materials, is likewise central to Dault's painting practice. The juxtaposition of athletic tape and imitation gold and silver leaf with more traditional oil and acrylic paints accompanies a formal equipoise between chastened grids and free-form mark-making. Her densely layered compositions, achieved through expressive gestures, the use of stencils, the imprinting of discarded palettes, uncontrolled drips, and other means, emphasize the détente between planning and risk so evident in her sculptures.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Barry Friedman Ltd. presents contemporary Peruvian artist Kukuli Velarde in her first solo show since joining the gallery. Recently awarded the prestigious USA Knight Fellowship by the Knight Foundation and the United States Artists organization, Velarde will exhibit an installation of ceramic sculptures from her Plunder Me Baby series, figurative paintings on aluminum from her Cadavers series, and a video/drawing performance, Apple of his Eye, that will take place during the first two weeks of the exhibition. 
  
Inspired by pre-Columbian terracotta figures, Velarde's Plunder Me Baby sculptures reveal folk tradition, evoke histories of ornament and craft, and disrupt normal aesthetic hierarchies. Removed from their natural environment and installed as if in an anthropological museum, these figurative characters appear as though awakened for the first time. Each figure exhibits strong reactions to their new surroundings including fear, disdain, and aggressive anger. With pejorative slurs as titles, such as Chola Puteadora, Grabby!! Needs to Be Put in Her Place, or Méndiga Perra Autoctona, Bites. Will Not Trust. Likes Tough Love, Velarde imbues these “plundered” artifacts with references to the struggles of indigenous populations as a result of European colonization. Velarde re-casts these appropriated figures as self-portraits as a means of defiantly reclaiming their ownership while giving them new meaning and context. 
  
Velarde’s Cadavers paintings examine popular culture from the context of a Latin American origin.  Taking images from colonial Peruvian painting and contemporary culture, she infuses them with references to gender roles, flaunted sexuality, religious and political colonization, and Latin America’s expectations of women in society. Often based on self-portraiture as well, the results are intimate and personal. Velarde takes clear cues from art history and the influences of the renowned Cusquenian Baroque School. Parallels can also be drawn to the aesthetics of such culturally aware painters as Diego Velázquez and Frida Khalo. By alluding to indigenous myths through mass media, popular art, and modern religious references, she notes the many guises and archetypes that humans must endure in modern society.  
  
Apple of his Eye, the third component of Velarde’s exhibition, is comprised of both a video and a performance piece. The video, depicting her late father speaking about his hopes and dreams for his daughter, examines the strong paternal relationship that led Velarde to become an artist. In the performance piece, Velarde will draw directly onto a gallery wall daily for two weeks, summoning the 3-year old doodler who first caught her father’s eye. She states, “overt communication makes us vulnerable yet it may strengthen interaction and deepen bonds. I do not mind becoming ‘vulnerable’ if in the process common grounds are established and a relationship is created with the viewer.” At the close of the exhibition, the drawings on the wall will be painted over and, as Velarde describes it, “returned to memory.”

  <Description><![CDATA[Jones' work incorporates performance, sculpture, drawing, and painting. He became known early on for his performance persona, “Mudman,” and could be seen walking the streets of Los Angeles and Venice, CA during the 1970s, and then during the 1980s in New York City and New York's subway system, covered in mud, and wearing on his back a crudely constructed lattice-work structure of sticks, tape, and twine, his face covered with a nylon stocking. Throughout this time he was consistently developing drawings and paintings on paper. His works on paper range from intricate graphite drawings involving “X” and “O” figures and erasure indicating movement of each force (referred to as war drawings), to works that incorporate photography, acrylic paint, ink line work, and collage, many of which have been made over a period of thirty years. Over the years Jones has developed a language of materials and marks: sticks, mud, twine, rats, and “X” and “O” symbols. “Mudman,” and other figures that resemble the performance persona, inhabit his elegant and simultaneously grotesque drawings and paintings.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Humor in all it's forms, including social satire, wordplay, games and jokes, has been an underlying theme in art throughout the 20th century. Dada's playfulness is the precursor of this thread, born as a response to the destruction wreaked on a global scale during WWI. Knock Knock explores how artists have drawn on this strategy, using humor as a hook to tackle more complex social, sexual, and political issues. The resulting historical exhibition, mounted over two venues, is superficially all farce, gaffs, puns and parody, and exposes the embedded tensions inherent in the work when the laughter dies down.

  <Description><![CDATA[The Concours takes its name from exhibitions and contests of various kinds held in French ateliers (for example, the Ecole des Beaux-Arts and the Academie Julian) during the nineteenth century, with the students competing for prizes, medals, or even for working spots in the studio. From its inception, the League has held similar concours. Early on, the instructors first picked their best students, and then all the works were exhibited together. There was a purchase prize of $105 called The Instructors' Prize, which was awarded to the student voted the best by a jury of League instructors. Eugene Speicher won this prize in 1908 for his portrait of fellow student Georgia O'Keeffe, and a still-life by O'Keeffe was also acquired for the League's collection.
Each week during the Concours, a judge assigns a seal or &quot;red dot&quot; to the work deemed best of each class. All of the red dot works are exhibited at the end of the year. A committee composed of members of the Board of Control may select works from this exhibit to be purchased for the League's Permanent Collection.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Making a reference to “Specific Objects,” Donald Judd's seminal essay of 1965, the show brings together a group of six artists, who approach art-making with a fresh take on the process of reduction. It is through this reduction that the artists reinvest minimalist art, what Judd located as &quot;neither painting nor sculpture,&quot; with a voice specific to their own time and attitudes. Through these artists' ironic sense of touch, they deflect any sense of nostalgia. As this particular brand of Minimalism has been incorporated into the mainstream of fashion and music, these six aren't just looking back, but looking towards the contemporary culture and economy of a style. Martin Basher confronts painting and sculpture with an ironic take on desire and disappointment. His casual handling of ready-made materials can be seen in his installation piece where a poster of a Claude Monet landscape is affixed to a vertically stripped hard-edge painting. He undercuts notions of escape by the harsh fluorescent light propped against the painting. Both attracting and deflecting the viewer, the fluorescent tube is part Dan Flavin part bug-light. Best known for his band YACHT, Jona Bechtolt primarily works with sound and video. His piece NTSC-YA animates what is typically the static field of a standard TV test pattern. Where Minimalism and Colorfield paintings once focused on uniformity, Bechtolt’s video disrupts and transforms the standard by infusing it with a sense of play, as a childhood Chimalong. Minimal and monochromatic, Daniel Ellis’ paintings capture networks of regular repeating patterns. The patterns, on the one hand, articulate the surface of the painting and, at the same time, soften the solid backgrounds. His work deals with the tension between subtle affects via regimented graphic elements. Though spare in composition, Rashawn Griffin’s work is loaded with references brought by his materials. His paintings feature fabrics, second-hand and new, bringing their own associations and histories to the minimalist object, so often devoid of the personal. Free standing, and sometimes suspended, his work speak to the sculptural presence of painting. Parts and wholes are consistent players in David Scanavino’s work. For instance, his sculpture Untitled (rope cast) makes two parts of one length of rope while his Untitled (one square foot) makes one form of equally sized parts. His use of common materials as standards keeps their transformations articulate and arresting. Takayuki Kubota presents sound in the format of painting. He unravels and splices together reels of tape-recorded readings or atmospheric sound and adheres them to panels. In this way, the work becomes a sonic portrait of a space or literary work.

  <Description><![CDATA[Parsons's career as a legendary art dealer who represented many of the important avant-garde artists of the mid-twentieth century has often overshadowed a consideration of her own art. This oversight has been remedied in the last decade and a half when several exhibitions and publications have been devoted to Parsons's oeuvre, revealing its originality and her distinctive artistic voice. The present exhibition focuses on a particular facet of Parsons's work, the relationship of her paintings and sculptures to her travels in America and abroad.

  <Description><![CDATA[The Roma (Gypsies) are Hungary’s largest ethnic minority counting more than one million people. Until the second half of the 20th century, the representation of Gypsy art was the exclusive monopoly of non-Roma, defined usually as “folk art” or “naïve art.”  SHUKAR! presents a contemporary Roma art that is hardly naïve. Rather, it is critical, political, and above all, painterly. The works in SHUKAR! reflect upon the social role of women and their double-minority position in the Hungarian Roma community. Theses paintings are at once provocative and beautiful, asking viewers to reconsider the role of Roma women and Roma contemporary art.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[All after All Before is taken from AA...AB, the Morse code for repeating a message.  Often used to highlight or draw attention to a part of the message, it is a signal to request communication from whoever can receive it

Magnolia Laurie's paintings represent delicate and makeshift illogical structures and systems that may not endure their own weight, let alone the impending disruptions. They reference the sustained need to try, to build, to create, even in the face of complete futility.  Depicting the instinctive, sometimes manic, and desperate human act of building referencing the cyclical rise and fall of civilizations.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[CRG presents a new body of work by Lyle Ashton Harris titled “Ghana” which has been inspired by the cultural space that is taking shape at the confluence of contemporary globalization and a rich cultural tradition haunted by the relics of the slave trade.
As spectator and participant, Harris is insider and outsider simultaneously; exploring his personal experience in Ghana, Harris excavates the shared historical legacy of America and Africa. In his video installation, “Untitled (Cape Coast)”, 2008, Harris combines multiple layers of video over hanging panels of printed silk organza. Images of a serene and idyllic beach scene are superimposed with images of the surrounding environment evoking different historical and anthropological layers; fleeting images of traditional Ghanaian festivals overlay a landscape that is home to what was once one of the largest slave trading forts on the former Gold Coast.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[A.I.R. Gallery announces ...and sweeps me away, an exhibition by A.I.R. National Members, curated by Barbara O’Brien.   

The thought-provoking works of art in ...and sweeps me away cannot be known by standing in a single place—either physical or philosophical. Each of the eighteen artists invites, expects, or demands that the viewer move from near to far to experience the surface or composition of the art, that the viewer brings an intellectual generosity and a willingness to engage. The works reflect a move away from the didactic to the interpretive, away from the self-portrait as an image of the self and towards the self-portrait as a cultural snapshot. Many of the artists imbue abstraction with political and social import while others explore non-traditional approaches in their chosen mediums.

  <Description><![CDATA[&quot;A Reluctant Apparition&quot; is an exhibition of gallery artists who each invited an artist of their choice– all twelve presenting work selected in response to the show’s title. The haunting of images and their residual effects has long been an artistic preoccupation; recreations and remakes are of particular interest now. Through curatorial doubling, this exhibition proposes less literal– maybe even reluctant– acts of summoning.

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

  <Description><![CDATA[Barry Friedman Ltd. presents the New York debut of contemporary artist Ian Ingram featuring his newest body of self-portraits. Ingram has spent the past 2  years working on this highly anticipated series of large-scale drawings. The exhibition, Divining, will be accompanied by a full-color catalogue with a feature essay by Garth Clark, published by Barry Friedman Ltd. 
 
Ian Ingram’s work is often about moments of transition, points in life when change occurs. His self-portraits are autobiographical reflections of meaningful events, such as his wedding, or the birth of his child. Ingram describes these emotional moments as “times when a decision or an action changes your entire worldview.  The image is of leaving one world and pushing through to another.” His hyper-realistic and intensely emotional self-portraits arrest the viewer with a direct gaze that at times seems almost uncomfortably intimate. Art critic Kristin Barendsen states, “Viewing these intense self-portraits isn’t like looking at another person-its like being another person looking in the mirror, searching for meaning inside your own brilliant eyes.” Drawings are often considered the most direct connection between an artist and his ideas, and Ingram’s self-portraits are no exception. Beyond serving as a vehicle to relay his feelings to the outside world, Ingram’s drawings become unflinching windows into his subconscious, and serve as a tool for his own self-reflection and rumination.  
 
Ian Ingram’s tightly rendered canvases are realistic yet dreamlike, and demonstrate a range of techniques. From dramatic contrasts of light, dark, and line, to organic methods of cross contours, grids, and blending, each method plays a role in building the subtleties, nuances, and porous surfaces of the human face. Working with a base of charcoal, pastel, ink, and watercolor, Ingram also incorporates more unconventional materials, such as beads, beeswax, metallic thread, silver leaf, string, and even butterfly wings. The embrace of these organic patterns and mediums has become a critical component to Ingram’s creative process and has increased the 
aesthetic complexity of his finished works. ]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Ryan Scully grew up in the shadow of the DOE Hanford Nuclear Site in Richland, WA. The unique influence of dependence on a controversial industry, a striking desert landscape and the ominous importance of resources deeply impacted the young artist’s development. In Always Moving, his canvases are populated with rough landscapes and amorphous characters in a state of anxious flux. Rocky overhangs struggle to break free. Threatening clouds sweep in and out of frame. Multiple inhabitants scurry towards perceived safety or to join in a group offense. These elements share an unsettling yet cooperative relationship. They are in a state of push and pull, an ever twisting but also evolving relationship in which life and it’s environment struggle against each other yet ultimately become equal and find space to co-exist.

  <Description><![CDATA[Time– and, by extension, mortality– has been a prevailing theme of Bleckner’s work since he began exhibiting in the late 1970s.  With two distinct new series, Bleckner here focuses on physical and perceptual changes that result from even hourly progression. Both groups of works depict expanses of flowers that are profuse and brightly colored, yet deliquesced, scraped away, and abstracted until they become blurs of paint. Seven six-foot-square canvases integrate this floral imagery with the rough configuration of a clock face.  Demarcating the hours are bold numbers heavily veiled by layers of paint, or numbers subtly delineated within the brush strokes.  One work upends the traditional analog face with a succession of digital numbers that reverberate as if from accelerated movement. Large works on mounted photographic paper integrate the literal passing of time. In Rorschach-like formation, skeins of fragmented flowers painted on the surface react with the emulsion so that they seem to occupy a deep, unsettling and distinctive void between light and dark, positive and negative.

  <Description><![CDATA[Catalog available Lohin Geduld Gallery is proud to present our third exhibition of paintings and works on paper by Kyle Staver. The exhibition is accompanied by a catalog with essay by independent curator and critic, Karen Wilkin.

In this series of recent paintings Kyle Staver continues her exploration of intimate scenes while incorporating pensive hues and darker themes. Throughout her career Staver has portrayed the joys of the ordinary world of afternoon bike rides, morning cups of coffee and dressing for the day. Her new paintings depict figure skaters flying through the air and Canada geese soaring overhead. These scenes, with their muted palette and monumental compositions, evoke masters such as Gustave Courbet. In the exhibition catalog, Karen Wilkin writes, “The moments Staver presents to us seem pleasant but without particular significance, non-events that we might not pay attention to, in actuality, here prolonged for scrutiny and delectation by virtue of the painter’s robust gestures and forthright simplifications.”

A number of paintings in this body of new work, however, depart from this domestic arena to delve into allegorical realms of spatial and emotional complexity. In one painting, a voluptuous woman on horseback gazes unashamed out at the viewer, while in another two men are completely engrossed in an almost savage hunt for snapping turtles. As described in the catalog, “Here, unlike the paintings of domesticity, it seems clear that something not only specific but probably significant is happening. But what is it? In contrast to the sense of unremarkable contentment in Staver’s domestic pictures, there’s an elusive suggestion of the disquieting, a suggestion intensified by unstable space, more tipped and layered than in many of Staver’s previous works.” This sense of the preternatural and the uncanny defines this new body of Kyle Staver’s paintings and prints.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Montreal based tattooist and painter David R. Choquette will be unveiling his first ever solo exhibition of paintings in New York City with approximately 15 brand new, never before seen paintings on display. David R. Choquette is a 29 year old Montreal based tattooist and painter. He's intrigued by the sense of discomfort that physical abnormalities cause. His portraits, often miniature, are aesthetic counter type to the popular standards. Obsessing over every square inch, he creates strange atmospheres where ugliness and beauty are hard to dissociate. With sharp details, he tries to communicate the sensibility of his inner world.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[BAC Gallery presents Glitch Generation, a group exhibition of artworks rooted in mistakes, either intentional or found, including &quot;glitches&quot; in the wiring of our brains. Some participating artists have created a unique environment to produce a malfunction in an otherwise stable system, while others have happened upon a glitch by chance. The exhibition also includes a Music/Performance on April 1 and a Video Screening on May 6.

The Glitch art aesthetic is in part a reflection of the digital age. The fast development and quick improvements of media devices like phones, cameras and computers have heightened our expectations of communications tools.Glitch Generation plays with our collective expectations by pointing out the malfunctions, mistakes and imperfections that inevitably occur despite our desire for perfection. 

Whether the artist intentionally used a computer program to create a glitch, manipulated hardware to create a manufactured imperfect environment, or came across the aberration by chance, each saw an opportunity to create beauty and to work with color and form in a new way by shedding light on the glitches.

  <Description><![CDATA[Mitchell-Innes &amp; Nash presents a two-person exhibition of New York painters Joe Bradley and Chris Martin in the Chelsea gallery. Both artists will present a group of new works. The exhibition was conceived as part of an ongoing dialogue between the two painters.

JB: … You know, wishful thinking is the way things start. It kind of seeps into reality after a while.

CM: I wish we could all wish for not knowing what we are doing. But in a good way. I think there's a sense of freedom that comes from everybody not being too sure what they're doing. Someone once said about New York in the early 1950s, late '40s, after Expressionism was sort of bursting onto the scene, &quot;There was a moment, maybe six weeks or so, when no one had any idea how to make a painting.&quot; And that's a lovely idea, that we don't know what we're doing…

JB: There's this Guston quote that I think is brilliant, that when you're in the studio, your friends and family are there and the ghosts of art history are there, your contemporaries are there. If you stay long enough they all leave, and if you're lucky you leave…

CM: Right, so the real discipline is that one goes to the studio or one goes to a space where one is available to the muse. There are no preconditions, only that you go there and you move colored dirt around. The discipline is listening to the colored dirt telling you what to do. So the discipline is showing up and staying…

JB: It's really hard to articulate but I do think that that's the place to be when you're making art. I mean you need one foot on turf, on land, and one foot in the cosmos. 

CM: It's like being inside and outside at the same time. On the one hand you are in trance, on the other hand you are watching yourself paint. And I think the key is that when you are watching yourself paint you don't judge, you just watch. The less I judge the more I can actually create and see what I'm doing. 

JB: The stuff that always sticks with me is the work that I see and I'm like, &quot;I want to make something.&quot; You know what I mean? You're allowed to keep doing it. It's not like an end game sort of thing where this is throwing down the gauntlet. You know, it is open-ended. 

CM: Yeah, that's right. God, we sound like a couple of old Beats. If you are reading this now, we don't know what we're talking about, and we don't know where this is going. Just like our best paintings. 

The above dialogue is excerpted from an interview published in The Journal in Fall 2009. 

Joe Bradley was born in 1975 and lives and works in Brooklyn. He received his BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design in 1999. He has had solo exhibitions at P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center and Canada in New York, and at Peres Projects in Los Angeles and Berlin. His work was included in the Whitney Biennial in 2008. He is represented in New York by Canada.

Chris Martin was born in 1954 and lives and works in Brooklyn. He received his BFA from the School of Visual Arts and attended Yale University. Recent group shows have included &quot;Abstract America&quot; at the Saatchi Gallery in London, &quot;Painting as Fact – Fact as Fiction&quot; at de Pury and Luxembourg, Zurich, and &quot;The Painted World&quot; at P.S.1. His work is represented in the collections of the Corcoran Gallery in Washington, D.C. and the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago. He is represented by Mitchell-Innes &amp; Nash. ]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Pulling diagrams from a variety of sources as broad as internal medicine, psychology, chemistry and physics Phillip Buntin coalesces imagery into not quite functional pictographic explanations of complicated ideas. Although not explicitly referencing Marcel Duchamp's 
pseudo-science or the fictional physics that allows for space travel in numerous movies and TV shows Buntin's paintings have a logic all their own that results in multi-layered complex compositions that seem to “work” even if the viewer isn't quite sure how. Buntin's visual metaphors seek to express the “experience of  generating  interpretations (or understandings)  of  complex things,  ideas and experiences.” This exhibition, Buntin's first with RHV Fine Art will feature 12 oil and acrylic paintings on panel (20” x 20” and 16” x 16”). 

Phillip Buntin received a Bachlor of Science in psychology from Kennesaw State Univ, Kennesaw, GA in 1989 and his BFA from the Atlanta College of Art, Atlanta, Ga in 1997. He earned an MFA from the University of Connecticut in Storrs, CT in 2002.  He teaches at Kent State University's Warren campus where he lives and maintains his studio.

  <Description><![CDATA[The overall concept of her show, at Galley Onetwentyeight, is “Black” as she says black means not being able to be altered by any other color: that is, black as an identity not as a hue. As she interprets it, Black exists in the darkness—where no light can get in. It cannot be recognized—but Black exists there. Her thinking is “physical and spiritual overlaid” with the results being: Black = Matter = Identity. As an example, Aika cites if the sun sent a lot of light to the universe without any dust (matter); the sunlight would be permanently absorbed into the darkness. Of course, this is a scary and imaginative concept and not a reality. The universe, however, is fully lit from the sun and myriad of stars also provide light—some reflect and shine, but all in a different manner. Aika states this is the basis of her &quot;Black&quot; abstracts. Although Aika has progressed to express herself in illustrative 3-D color, Black will always continue to be her artistic base. “All that I create departed from my insight, which is void of any apparent social or political messages; however many will observe the inspirational communication I wish to convey through my work.” Aika’s show at Gallery Onetwentyeight will feature two- and three-dimensional artwork. In addition, there will be an installation piece inspiring viewer participation that she hopes will “bind people together—deeper and freer.”]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Our two galleries will bring together German Artist Boris Hoppek &amp; transient Alex Diamond’s work as they have received increasing international popularity in recent years. These artists have exhibited in solo and group shows in museums, galleries, festivals and art fairs in Europe as well as in the US. In a joint effort the artist will show new works on paper and Boris has promised an up the skirt installation.

Boris Hoppek, has been an acclaimed name in the Graffiti-world since the late eighties, more recently he has become an outstanding talent within the contemporary art scene. By thematizing sexuality, violence, racism and oppression in a very clean and accurate style, the artist isolates provocative themes for contemplation. Since 2004, the heliumcowboy artspace has exhibited his works in three solo shows and on diverse art fairs. In Basel and Miami 2007, Hoppek set up huge interactive cardboard installations at SCOPE, and today he is one of the most prominent European artists coming from a background in Street Art/Graffiti. For SCOPE Basel 2008, Hoppek was invited to convert the water taxis commuting across the Rhine into floating artworks, bringing his narrative potential away from the constrictions of a traditional booth scenario onto the water.

Alex Diamond is unseizable as a person and difficult to categorize as an artist, he is more fantasy than reality. His main issue always centres around his work and its presentation, but never around the personality of an individual. Alex Diamond appears always as a new and different creation of a role or character with every one of his shows. Not limited by a CV, a formative education or even a dedicated technique or style, Alex Diamond constantly develops a new specific presence for the “Artist behind the work“. Alex Diamond is an artist who apparently lives solely through the art he creates – and vice versa. He plays mind tricks with visual aids, pleasing at one moment, disturbing in the next. Independent from styles and techniques, he mirrors life and our constant fight for possession, superiority, survival and love in an almost nonchalant way. Having focused on his project Being Alex Diamond for the last year and a half (and of which also a catalogue has been published lately), the artist will now present a whole new body of drawings at Factory Fresh.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[&quot;Art may not stop violence, but present philosophic examples of human activity as creative alternatives&quot; is one important credo of Ghanaian-born artist George Afedzi Hughes. Connected in several ways with former works, the core topic of his “Layers” series is the ubiquity of violence – in societies, in ecologies and in man as part of nature. Hughes is focusing on the inevitability to escape violence and its related emotional dynamics – and the basic necessity to try it over and over again. His new works are tending to the layers that superimpose blocked-out aspects everywhere in the world. He is bringing up widely tabooed matters nevertheless lurking behind the surface concerning personal experiences as well as historical phenomena like colonialism, current socio-political developments and present-day global conflicts. In short: his work is thematically dominated by visual reminders of the savage side of man and human societies.

Born 1962 in Sekondi (Ghana) and after moving to the US in 1994, Hughes obtained a Master of Fine Arts in Painting/ Drawing Minor from Bowling Green State University (Ohio) in 2001. Since 2006 he is Assistant Professor of Painting at the Visual Studies Department of the University at Buffalo, New York. Painting is an integral part of his creative oeuvre but his artistic activities also include poetry, assemblage and performances. The “layered aspects” of his new series are reflected in the use of materials applied to the canvas in several layers. ]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[The show includes miniature oil paintings on glass slides and lantern glass covers of abandoned or marginalized landscapes. The majority of the paintings focus on the Solvay Waste Beds, 1400 acres of contaminated and sterile land, a superfund site near her home in upstate New York. The artist gained access to the site as an “artist in residence” and worked alongside scientists and environmentalists who are working to remediate the land. Marion Wilson has painted the landscape through four changing seasons. The microscope slides not only refer to the scientific aspect of the project, but emphasize the skill and craftsmanship that it takes to create something so small. They allow the viewer to examine and inspect the paintings, and therefore the site, more closely.
Marion Wilson’s practice consists of working collaboratively with people from different disciplines, frequently on large scale public art projects with limited budgets, recycled materials, and overlooked populations and neighborhoods. All art material the artist chooses to work with is chosen for its conceptual potential as well as its aesthetic value.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Han Yajuan is from the latest generation of phenomenally talented artists to emerge from the contemporary Chinese art scene. Like her predecessors and teachers, those of the famous first generation of free artists post-Mao, she has exceptional capabilities She recognizes and identifies the zeitgeist of her generation and then transmits that through her art. She does this with flawless technical expertise and a delightful, infectious sense of humour. 
Japanese animation and comics, Anime and Manga, are two important influences among the younger generation of contemporary Chinese artists. Han Yajuan borrows from the techniques of these art forms to get her message across. Han Yajuan comments on the newly empowered female consumer and the society in which she finds herself. Her females are not shrinking violets. These are young women who are in control of their lives and are having uninterrupted fun. As the artist says, the female of her paintings is an ideal. These modern females are fun, rich, cool and cute. Not only do they have everything but everyone likes them. They have such lovely sunny personalities and if anything is missing they can simply go out an buy it! They are from the generation that grew up in an era of economic boom with the attitude that anything is possible 
Han Yajuan's females are marvelous caricatures of an ever-spreading urban reality. This type of female is visible all over China's cities. The intelligence and creativity of the artist shows in the great sense of make believe and fun emanating from her works and in her capacity to step back and present an amusing yet very palpable ideal. ]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[The Walter Wickiser Gallery announces the solo exhibition The Amplitude of Nature, works by Katsuhiro Kuramoto on display. 

“Katsuhiro Kuramoto has been an artist since he was a child. In elementary school, his homeroom teacher, an art teacher by chance, saw a painting by Kuramoto and submitted it to a competition held by the Osaka Art Museum. As it turned out, the young artist won the prize. Kuramoto's compositions resonate with his memories of childhood. Modeled with resin clay, Kuramoto uses gold, silver, and platinum foil to build a composition that is mesmerizing in its effects. A higher consciousness is the goal of the artist, who worships nature in the form of carp, flowers, and butterflies. As a result, Kuramoto's choice of a simple but telling imagery goes along well with the
positive notions of Shintoism, its emphasis on harmony and world order.”* 

* Jonathan Goodman writes about the arts for numerous publications, including The New York Times, Artnews, 
Art and Auction and Art and Antiques.

  <Description><![CDATA[Artist and healer Sue Gurnee will present a series of paintings each constructed to stimulate viewers to fully utilize his or her decision-making process. Through her independent observational research that was begun in 1989, she has identified a cross cultural/cross generational set of seven distinct rhythmic brain functions, the fulgent cadences, that drive our decision-making process. These paintings have been made as a way for viewers to balance their rhythmic brain functions so to embrace growth and development through the quality of their choices.

  <Description><![CDATA[Pinaree Sanpitak is one of the most compelling and respected Thai artists of her generation, and her work can be counted among the most powerful explorations of women’s experience in all of Southeast Asia. For well over twenty years, her primary inspiration has been the female body, distilled to its most basic forms and imbued with an ethereal spirituality.

Her first New York solo exhibition, Quietly Floating, featuring a series of large, monochromatic paintings of breast and cloud forms. Some are done in a soft, metallic silver, with delicate, textured highlights, while others are infused with vibrant colors. These breast/cloud forms also appear in a remarkable group of intimate works on paper, and in an installation of large, aluminum mirrors. As the exhibition title suggests, the works convey a sense of tranquility and weightlessness that is at once otherworldly and profoundly natural. Through basic imagery of the female form, they convey a powerful sense of humanity, of the quiet truth of its physical and spiritual interconnectedness.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Sixty years before the embrace of collage techniques by avant-garde artists of the early twentieth century, aristocratic Victorian women were already experimenting with photocollage. The compositions they made with photographs and watercolors are whimsical and fantastical, combining human heads and animal bodies, placing people into imaginary landscapes, and morphing faces into common household objects. Such images, often made for albums, reveal the educated minds as well as the accomplished hands of their makers. With sharp wit and dramatic shifts of scale akin to those Alice experienced in Wonderland, these images stand the rather serious conventions of early photography on their heads.

  <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[&quot;Dao,&quot; an ancient Chinese concept means &quot;way,&quot; &quot;path,&quot; or &quot;natural working of the universe.&quot; Daoists consider the Dao an original Oneness in things, an eternal underlying foundation of being from which the many parts of the universe continuously spring and into which they continuously return.
 
The state of the Dao in contemporary China is in disrepair and the artists in this exhibition explore the social, political and environmental changes of the new China - most notably, consumerism, pollution, and military expansion - as a means of restoring the balance. In this way they are fulfilling the ancient function of the artist in society.  Such ideas are inherent in the poetic renditions of the Daodejing ascribed to the hand of Laozi who lived around sixth century bce. This beloved work was as much a blueprint for a utopian society as a guide to self-perfection. Government, it explains, should not interfere in its citizens' life: left alone society will find a peaceful coexistence. Daoists presented copies of the text to emperors to enlighten them. Sometimes artists were the intermediaries, performing on behalf of the members of their community: Bedecked in flowers, shamans in ancient China sang songs, performed dances, and offered gifts to the gods to assure peace and prosperity. Daoists propose rejection of corrupt society and finding solace in nature.
 
Faced with the current situation in China, artists are reacquainting themselves with the great literature that was forbidden during the Cultural Revolution; they are amazed and delighted by it, and comforted that they are now able to have access to this special kind of wisdom couched in witty and poetic terms. Inspired by such ancient philosophical writings they draw upon these ideas to understand their world, and some artists today have even resumed their traditional function. They take up themes in their art that reflect the current situation in China; they are acting as intermediaries in the cause of the populace and trying to establish a society in harmony with the ancient principles.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[The Frick Collection presents Watteau's Les Plaisirs du bal, now on view in the museum's North Hall. The painting — considered to be one of the artist's most beautiful — is one of nine works from Dulwich that will be shown exclusively at the Frick.
On March 9, the remaining eight Old Master paintings will be installed in the exhibition and open to the public. The Dulwich Picture Gallery is one of the major collections of seventeenth- and eighteenth-century pictures in the world. The exhibition, which heralds the Gallery’s bicentenary in 2011, will introduce American audiences to this institution’s collection through an exceptional group of works, to be shown exclusively at the Frick.
The signature masterpieces, many of which have not been on view in the United States in recent years, and, in some cases, never in New York City, are: Rembrandt van Rijn’s (1606–1669) Girl at a Window, 1645; Sir Anthony Van Dyck’s (1599–1641) Samson and Delilah, c. 1619–20; Thomas Gainsborough’s (1727–1788) The Linley Sisters, probably 1772; Sir Peter Lely’s (1618–1680) Nymphs by a Fountain, before 1640; Canaletto’s (1697–1768) Old Walton Bridge over the Thames, 1754; Gerrit Dou’s (1613–1675) A Woman Playing a Clavichord, c. 1665; Antoine Watteau’s (1684–1721) Les Plaisirs du Bal, most likely 1715–17; Bartolomé Esteban Murillo’s (1618–1682) The Flower Girl, 1665–70; and Nicolas Poussin’s (1594–1665) The Nurture of Jupiter, mid-1630s.

  <Description><![CDATA[Priscila De Carvalho’s installations are dynamic architectural landscapes composed of paintings, drawings, collage, foam and rubber that convey the complexity, chaos and paradoxes of contemporary urban life in cities, sprawling, decaying and affected by uncontrolled massive urbanization. Through beaming colors and multiple surfaces her urban labyrinths transmit into the space the energy of these cities constantly changing.
 
Born in Brazil in 1975, she lives and works in New York. A Recipient of the 2009 Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant and of the 2010 Sculpture Space Fellowship and Residency Program, her works have been featured in individual and group exhibitions in the US including The Aljira Center for Contemporary Arts and The Jersey City Museum. This is De Carvalho's first solo show with Praxis International Art.

  <Description><![CDATA[As the title of the exhibition suggests, the show is designed to make visible a portion of the female anatomy that is generally considered taboo―too private and intimate for public display.  If shown at all, this part of a woman’s body is usually presented in an abject fashion, generally within the context of pornography, intended, in almost all cases, for the exclusive pleasure of men.  The goal of this exhibition is to remove these prurient connotations, implicit even in works of art, ever since the pudendum was prudishly covered by a fig leaf.  This gesture of false modesty, it should be noted, was devised and enforced entirely by men (not only in the case of classical sculpture, but also in the Bible, in which, immediately after their disobedience in the Garden of Eden, Adam and Eve cover their genitalia with fig leaves).  Indeed, until recently, virtually all depictions of the frontal nude female figure were made by men, but as this exhibition will demonstrate, that has changed dramatically in recent years. Inspiration for both the show and its catalogue came from Eve Ensler’s &quot;The Vagina Monologues,&quot; a stage play that premiered off-Broadway in 1996, and was followed by various productions throughout the world (it appeared as a book in 1998).  Ensler gave voice to countless women worldwide, honoring the complexity and mystery of their sexuality, basically encouraging them to consider their vaginas as powerful and expressive components of their physical selves, something not to be ashamed of, but to be proudly protected as an assertive and positive manifestation of their being.  The idea for this show came from realizing that there was no better group to give vision to this goal than artists, many of whom had already incorporated imagery of the vagina in their works.  Because of Ensler’s pioneering work in this field, the catalogue is dedicated to her, and proceeds from its sale shall be donated to V-Day, the organization she founded to end violence against women and girls throughout the world.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Kathleen Cullen presents Redi-Mix, an almost-solo-project of works byJames Hyde.  Along with Hyde's paintings, a constantly evolving group show will take place.

Hyde will present his recent paintings-- photographic prints which form the physical ground but also the image-space on which Hyde builds his painterly compositions. Styrofoam, papier-mache, blocks of wood, tape, as well as paint-- matte &amp; glossy; thick &amp; thin-- form Hyde's painting kit.  Hyde's emphatically material painting slathers and dissects pictures of unfinished building sites, late night reveries, and fragmented views of nature. Often startling, these paintings show Hyde engaging the world through the technical and emotional framework of abstract painting.

During the show the gallery will be in constant flux-- Hyde's paintings-on-photos will cycle in and out.  Every week the gallery and artist will organize a salon of works alongside Hyde's paintings. Sculpture, photography, paintings, drawings, prints and multiples by emerging, established and historical artists will appear every week like guests to a cocktail party. 

Photographs by Jan Groover, Lucas Blalock and Curtis Mann; sculpture by Fabienne Lasserre and Paul Lee; paintings by Joe Fyfe and Thomas Lindvig and prints byDieter Roth and Bridget Riley will be on view.  With this show we hope to transform the gallery to an intimate salon—a place to make unexpected connections between the familiar and the new.

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

  <Description><![CDATA[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[Chris Peters will soon be unveiling his first ever solo exhibition in New York City with 10 brand new, never before seen paintings on display. Chris Peters' paintings try to find the beauty in that uneasy twilight place between life and death, between reality and unreality, between hope and despair. The objects in the paintings draw from the classic symbolism of Vanitas still life and Catholic religious paintings; all refer to the cycle of life, death and the promise of resurrection.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Zürcher Studio presents a solo exhibition in which Brian Belott will take an enormous risk and look truth in the eye like never before. Confronted with a world of unfathomable absurdity, Belott the performer adopts the only defense available, namely that of art as the ultimate rampart. In highly rigorous fashion, Belott will construct his largest “Wild Time Machine” to date. Elusive in its form, unexpected in its limits, and incomprehensible at first sight, it will be a wall of incredible density, incorporating a life-long collection of dazzling detritus. The resulting work is seemingly insurmountable, with meanders as complex as those of a labyrinth. It contains images of all sorts: pictures cut out of children’s books and old science textbooks, found photos and paper painted by the artist himself. In various places sound has been added—talking, music and ambient noises collected from found cassette tapes and recordios and some sampled off of YouTube. These sound samples become clear at close range, and one’s movement through the space is like a collage to the ears in itself. The paradox is that although the overall effect is unquestionably monumental (if only in terms of its dimensions), it follows a principle of discretion that denotes privacy, like a Renaissance &quot;cabinet of curiosities,&quot; and an affirmation that this enormous collage is above all else, autobiographical in nature.

And there is a crucial element that emphasizes this point: here and there are glass paintings as well as mixed medium books displayed on top of shelves that project out from the wall. These are not books to be read, but fetishistic objects to be compulsively grasped for the esthetic pleasure they procure, which is actually less innocent than it looks. The wall itself employs various illustrators and artists and the accidental and intended snapshots from amateur photographers to catalog elements—arrows, clouds, planes, planets—exemplifying the infinite perspectives that shade our seen world. Like in some “cult” work he admires such as the unfinished Charles Ives’ Universe Symphony, the past is represented by the genesis of oceans and mountains, the present is represented by the earth, the evolution of nature, and humanity, and the future is represented by the sky as a symbol of the spiritual. Through collaged views of these symbolic elements, the piece represents questions of “What” and “How” that people ask about life, and to which Belott provides his own echo.

There is no mistake why Belott cites Ives as a major influence, as the composer was intensely involved with collage himself, sampling music as diverse as Beethoven, religious hymns and popular song in the same composition. In the second movement of the Ives’ Concord Sonata(1) the pianist uses a piece of wood that is 14 inches long to play a &quot;cluster chord&quot; comprised of a sequence of black and white keys sustained throughout the movement. In the mid to late ‘90s, Belott and frequent collaborator Larissa Velez choreographed three dance pieces to Ives’ music, and more recently, at the Swiss Institute’s Dark Fair in 2008, Brian and Larissa composed a vocal piece by collaging jingles, melodies, sound bytes, hums, and murmurs for a “Wordless Chorus” of about 30 people. Like Ives, Belott’s work feels so uninhibited that it could veer on rebellious, but his predilection for formalism and the sensual and painterly handling of materials, counterbalances an obsession with the new and the unknown.

Another artist with similarities as striking as they are inexplicable, and with multiple resonances that extend beyond the limits of time, is Man Ray. Belott’s collage In the Eye (2008), in which the creation of &quot;reserves&quot; is essential, could be likened to Man Ray’s photograph Lee Miller’s Eye (1932, Penrose Collection), on the back of which he wrote, &quot;I am always in reserve&quot; (October 11, 1932). Both artists use unconventional materials that leave audiences guessing where the artwork stops. In his photograph Man (1920) (2), Man Ray has an ephemeral assemblage in the form of a skeleton whose vertebrae are represented by a line of wooden clothes pegs –an accessory Belott has used a number of times. The Dadaist Man Ray, the pioneer of the &quot;rayogram&quot;(3) was also one of the first American artists who ever took radical positions within the art world. The same spirit can be found in Belott’s performance Head on Fire, Ring the Alarm, in which he set fire to his hair in front of a camera. This was not just play-acting, like a sketch by the Marx Brothers(4), but was intended to depict, as Man Ray had done, art as an act of pure freedom that would neither comply with conventions nor accept any suggestion of a need to be socially useful.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[As a prelude, counterpoint, and coda to the Biennial, the Museum’s fifth floor is devoted to artists in the Whitney’s collection whose works were shown in Biennials over the past eight decades. Collecting Biennials, opening on January 16, is installed as a kind of historical survey within the Biennial, underscoring the importance of previous Biennial exhibitions in the Museum’s history and the formation of its collection. Work by one of the artists in 2010, George Condo, is included in the mix. Collecting Biennials begins nearly six weeks before the rest of the Biennial and remains on view until November 2010.

  <Description><![CDATA[A dynamic complement to the Gallery’s Fall 2009 exhibition of Halley’s more subdued works from the 1980s, this new group of works underscores the development of Halley’s disciplined approach to painting.  Recurring symbolic forms of abstract geometry are 
continually re-composed and re-contextualized to conjure, through relationship of color, texture, and proportion, references as diverse as technology, systemization, music, popular culture and art history. For each of the eight works in the exhibition, Halley configures one horizontal Prison positioned above another slightly larger Prison that rests on a ground traversed by a single Conduit.  Rising and bending at right angles are Conduits that bypass, segregate, or connect the two Prisons.  Conduits flush with the canvas edge and intricate color interplay– from closely-hued shades of red in one painting to varied DayGlo pastels in another– complicate the distinction between foreground and background.

  <Description><![CDATA[In 1968, Donald Judd purchased 101 Spring Street, a 5-storey cast iron building, which today remains the only single-use cast iron building in SoHo. The premises was a home for Judd and his young family, provided a studio for him to work in, and also provided a forum for him to begin his process of installing his work and the work of others in a permanent fashion.

In the Summer of 2010 the house will close for 3 years for a major restoration, and in commemoration of this NicholasRobinson Gallery and Maurice Tuchman will curate an exhibition of artworks by those artists whose works formed the permanent installation at the time of the artist’s death in 1994. Including examples by Hans Arp, Larry Bell, John Chamberlain, Marcel Duchamp, Dan Flavin, Donald Judd, David Novros, Claes Oldenburg, Ad Reinhardt, Lucas Samaras, Kurt Schwitters and Frank Stella, and archival material from the Judd Foundation the exhibition seeks to celebrate the house as both a home and a vital meeting place and conduit in the lives and works of these seminal artists.

  <Description><![CDATA[Woodward Gallery presents an exhibition of recent paintings by Natalie Edgar. She demonstrates the continuing vitality of the New York School of painting. The sensibilities of color, space and rhythm are her métier. About the current exhibition, Judd Tully observes in his catalog essay that the painting as a whole is a fusion of many sources, “There’s no correct way to read a painting. No matter how long you look, either abstract or figurative. You can imagine or believe you see a head emerging from that tangle of explosive marks, a veiled reference to a Picasso head or perhaps a Pisano apostle, or a summit of a mountain.” Space is the hidden black matter in the imagery. Gerard McCarthy had noticed, “Her images may or may not suggest figures, but effectively evoke a vertiginous sensation.” (Art in America) It is this odd feeling of altitude in her space that prompted the title “From Above” for the exhibition.

Drawing from her influences from fashion and the use of colors and line, Josana Blue creates works that are elegant, playful and very evocative: Even though her work traces back to the human form, her elongated shapes, bold colors and intense lines provide her works with a sense of abstraction and great intimacy.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[The eight non-representational paintings that make up this show were done over the last three years. They represent an obvious progression from Helen Miranda Wilson's previous series, but are considerably more detailed, each panel being covered by a myriad of rectangles which blanket the surface in an unbroken array. Their plurality is reminiscent of the multiplicity which meets the eye whenever we are in nature, surrounded by its uncountable repetitions. Many years of painting landscape from life, as well as the artist's early exposure to the art of the Bauhaus movement have greatly influenced this most recent work. The profusion of color can also bring to mind the mosaic murals that the artist first saw in Ravenna, in the 1970s, which are made of millions of tiny, shimmering glass tiles.

The paint is applied meditatively, not gesturally or obsessively. Mistakes, when they occur, are allowed and left to be seen. No two colors are alike, and each one is chosen in a casual, unconscious way. Each one represents a journal of many hours, marked in a method that slowed time for the artist as she worked to cover the surface, painting it from top to bottom, one color after another.

Although Wilson no longer uses recognizable subject matter as she did for most if her career, these paintings are done with the same materials and techniques and in the same small format for which she has always been known. The surfaces are matte and yet have a velvety, open quality because the artist uses oil paint with no added medium and applies no final overcoat of varnish. The edges of the unframed panels retain the drips of primer, sanded smooth which are meant to be seen as part of the object. Wilson typically works wet-into-wet, blending the paint softly into itself with fan brushes. She has used this technique to blur the lines between one section of a painting and the next, since the early 1970s.

The artist has lived in Wellfleet, Massachusetts, the town she grew up in, for the last ten years. She keeps honeybees and chickens successfully and serves as a member of the local government. She paints full-time and teaches occasionally.

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

  <Description><![CDATA[Presented in Chapter III of Here &amp; Now: Chinese Artists in New York, Towards Transculturalism includes 4 artists of Chinese descent who endeavor to be part of the transculturalism trend in the era of globalization. Working in varied medium and style, the four featured artists, Emily Cheng, Hung-Chih Peng, YoYo Xiao and Shen Chen share interest in using universal language in their art creations. Although they all have more or less connections with the Chinese art tradition, they pursue methods that are understandable and acceptable to a larger audience on the international level.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Curated by Shinnie Kim, Conundrum Express challenges viewers to expand their frame of reference and look beyond the initial visual appearance of an art piece.  Instead of indulging in the breakdown of the visual, the work itself becomes the reflective maze wherein the answer resides.  Drawn in, the viewer becomes actively involved in deciphering complex composition and diverse perspectives.  Acknowledging the multiplicity of cognitive modes of connecting ideas, the exhibition deliberately avoids didactically presenting a singular discourse of master narrative.

The artists featured in Conundrum Express defy the logics of imagery discourse by using their own visual languages with witty and playful approaches.  A multitude of staged elements and stylized compositions orchestrate an emergence of a higher level of visual information while creating interactions at the viewer’s level. The exhibition works as a medium of engagement that invites viewers to explore a range of enigmatic and intricate reasoning models as if it were a brainteaser game.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Peer into a parallel universe through R. Nicholas Kuszyk's paintings and you will see a prisma-colored society of robots acting out the various roles of mankind's existence. There are densely layered hyper metal war massacres with robots' innards being yanked out of torsos, raining bits of robotic parts across a sea of retired machines. Glowing orbs float above the action spewing out jumbles of wires while magical rays of light blast out of holes in the ground as robots ceremoniously gather around. The scenes are sci-fi fantastical while transcending possible elements of kitsch in favor of exploring humankind's complex conundrums. 

There are peaceful moments amid the visual chaos: automatons endlessly toiling away at menial tasks, groups calmly working together, building structures, sharing everyday mundane moments, and saving one another from on the job peril. You can sense the comforting peace of their rituals and while there is not a human in sight, the seemingly expressionless robots unveil a myriad of emotions that we all can draw personal parallels to.]]></Description>

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

  <Description><![CDATA[There is something soothing about Plains and Patterns. Perhaps it is the unpretentiousness of the work. There is little energy spent on representation.The interaction with the work might be purely sensual. But Marcie's work deals with short term memory, brain disorders and the recording and experiencing of every single moment. Jaclyn is dealing with the fragility of the urban environment in competition with natural forces. Tina's work is inspired by the infinite and Pascal. Andrea's work is inspired by very real places and experiences in Italy and Barcelona. It is quite enjoyable to walk through this exhibition and bathe in the patterns and colors. But there is a depth to this work that demands that the viewer look further, to engage each of the works and begin a dialogue with the artists. To share their experience.

  <Description><![CDATA[Biddy is a young artist with an inspiring and clear vision. He is working to chase the psychological dramas and conceited behaviors of adolescents. The girls he portrays are often in bloom, teetering between innocence and self-awareness. Biddy’s approach to representation is unique in that he allows the models to depict themselves.
He obtains his imagery from Facebook or MySpace photographs which mostly have been taken with a cell phone. He states, “Rather than photographing my models myself, I leave the responsibility of how they will represent themselves to them. This allows the model’s own personalities to come through and gives the viewer a chance to either see a silly child-like moment or one of vanity.” This work confronts ideas of identity and gender roles in adolescent girls on the verge of becoming women while also challenging both formalist and conceptual traditions.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Couwenberg draws from the aesthetics of his California experience (hotrods, surf and skate culture, and arcade games) to layer forms into a contemporary conversation with mid-century modernism. Influenced by his relationship with mentor, Karl Benjamin, Alex Couwenberg builds a stratum of shapes and textures to converse with and reminisce on the not too distant past. The layers in his work reflect this relationship with history, I wanted to find a middle ground between expressionism and hard-edge abstraction. I was really into laying down grounds of paint, leaving the hard raw edges but exposing the underpainting, revealing the history of the painting. If the familiar muscular dynamism of Couwenberg s earlier work appears tamed, today s work is less removed and more intimate like a story that is more character based than event based, a kind of contemplative soliloquy. With increased painterly complexity, the work is honed and intimate. Loosening the austerity of the hard edge, the striations and loose outlines add risk to the execution and, with more at stake, the work is quiet and heartfelt; think Miles Davis move from Bebop. As Couwenberg's work is still very masculine, this show represents a quiet side.

Born and raised in Southern California, Alex Couwenberg received his BFA from the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, CA and his MFA from Claremont Graduate School in Claremont, CA. He exhibits regularly throughout California, Idaho, Georgia and New York. Couwenberg s work is in a number of public, corporate and private collections, including the Crocker Art Museum and the Long Beach Museum of Art. Alex Couwenberg currently lives and works in Los Angeles, CA.]]></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[Based in Paris, Pezeu works in a similar manner to the action painters of the 1940s, tracing charcoal outlines of models enacting various scenes before drizzling paint over the canvas to further delineate the silhouettes. The fluidity and palpable lightness of Pezeu’s canvases convey a sense of intangibility, yet they give transient, fleeting moments of time permanence. The works exhibited in Impressions demonstrate Pezeu’s experimentation with a more vibrant tonal palette, and her increasingly diverse representation of the ephemeral. The show will be accompanied by a performance at gallery nine5. Allowing an audience to observe her creative process, Pezeu will read a fairytale then ask her model to choose a pose that reflects their interpretation of the story.

  <Description><![CDATA[Priska C. Juschka Fine Art presents re: The Mirrored Veil, Jenna Gribbon’s second solo exhibition at the gallery, a collection of meticulously and delicately constructed paintings–engaging the viewer in a revealing dichotomy between the Apollonian ideal and the Dionysian struggle, between the Imaginary and the Real. re: The Mirrored Veil illuminates the moment of the split between the reflected wholeness of the external body–as in Lacan’s Mirror Stage–and the real, internal, fragmented nature of the individual experience.

Jenna Gribbon was born in Knoxville, TN and currently lives and works in Brooklyn, NY. Her work has been the subject of several solo and group exhibitions in the U.S. and abroad, including shows at the Georgia Museum of Contemporary Art in Atlanta, GA; the National Academy Museum &amp; School of Fine Arts in New York, NY; Kunsthalle Emden in Emden, Germany; the Finnish Academy of Fine Arts in Helsinki, Finland; and most recently, at the National Arts Club in New York, NY. She was also commissioned to paint three works for Sofia Coppola’s film, Marie Antoinette, which premiered at the New York Film Festival in 2006.

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

  <Description><![CDATA[The New-York Historical Society continues to showcase together more than 100 famous paintings by artists of the Hudson River School, including Thomas Cole, Asher B. Durand, John F. Kensett, Jasper F. Cropsey and Albert Bierstadt, in a series of exhibitions drawn from the Society's extraordinary American art collection. The N-YHS holds one of the oldest and most comprehensive collections of landscape painting by artists of the Hudson River School, the first school of truly American art to garner worldwide recognition and fame. Artists, poets and writers forged the first self-consciously &quot;American&quot; landscape vision and literary voice, grounded in the exploration of the natural world as a source of spiritual renewal and as an expression of national identity, first expressed through the scenery of the Hudson River Valley.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Forum Gallery marks its fiftieth anniversary year by presenting an exhibition of paintings by the artist Gregory Gillespie (1936-2000), whom Forum represented from his first New York exhibition in 1966 until his untimely death, a suicide, in 2000. Gillespie, a unique and visionary artist, was never a part of any movement or school; in his work, he defied characterization. In large and small panel paintings and mixed media works, he constructed elaborately detailed fantasy landscapes, imaginary personal narratives, startling and memorable self-portraits, symbolist abstractions and trompe l’oeil still lifes throughout his career, moving back and forth among these stylistic choices with unpredictable frequency, unerring technique and uncanny brilliance. Forum Gallery’s 2010 exhibition will include paintings from each of the four decades of Gregory Gillespie’s career, acquired from private collections. Many of the works have been in the same collections since their original acquisition.

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

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

  <Description><![CDATA[Ray states, “I’m thrilled to celebrate this moment in the growth of our program as we head into spring featuring new artists in the gallery and preparing to exhibit with the upcoming Pulse and Fountain art fairs. As we evolve, our mission remains to discover and present the most important contemporary artwork that explores the concept of psychogeography by re-imagining the relationships between people and places.”

Artists featured in Refresh share a common interest in the boundaries between psychological and physical space. In the title piece of the exhibition, California artist Jim Ringley’s highway scene depicts a car racing away from the viewer. While the image appears to offer the hope of a quick escape into a promising future, the picture plane remains still beneath its effervescent surface. Paloma Crousillat similarly extends the viewer’s focus into a space of imagination with her hard-edged renderings of large-scale telescopes. Born in Lima, Peru and based in Brooklyn, Crousillat’s work is informed by the systems and frameworks of space, language and beliefs.

Gregory Euclide, whose work will be exhibited for the first time at the gallery, is an artist and teacher living in the Twin Cities region of Minnesota. Knowledge gained in childhood of the complexity and interconnectedness of his rural environment grounds his appreciation for contemplative experiences in nature. Euclide’s three-dimensional works break through the flat surface of traditional landscape paintings and include media as diverse as cassette tapes, moss, ribbon and lead.

Pablo Helguera, a New York-based artist working in installation, sculpture, photography, drawing, and performance presents work in collage that questions the cultural, historical and social relationships between reality and fiction. Helguera has exhibited and performed internationally, and notably in New York at the Brooklyn and Bronx Museums of Art, P.S.1 and El Museo del Barrio. Montreal artist Alice Jarry’s multi-layered silkscreen works on paper also hover on the border between landscape and imagination, where motifs and found archival images come together in a richly-textured series of dreamy, portentous compositions.

Matthew Northridge and Jill Sylvia round out the list of artists in Refresh. Both artists are new to the gallery and will present works on paper along with sculptural installations. Northridge, whose work has been exhibited at museums including the New Museum of Contemporary Art, the Brooklyn Museum of Art and the National Academy Museum, presents two new pieces incorporating maps that examine scale, compression and rules governing spatial systems. His work has recently been acquired by the Hirshhorn Museum. San Francisco-based artist Sylvia uses a drafting knife to painstakingly remove the cells of traditional ledger paper, leaving behind a delicate lattice expressing time and the futility of labor. The flat, empty grids turn three-dimensional as the artist re-organizes them into spatial constructions in which the notion of value confronts the void.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Deirdre O'Connell is a self-taught artist whose recent work has drawn from characters and scenes in plays by Russian dramatist Anton Chekhov. An award-winning stage actress, O'Connell has played numerous Chekhov women and finds their motivations and behaviors layered and complex. The paintings are jewel-like, multi media creations made from collages of her own paintings and drawings. Rich, brilliant hues and intense detail give each work the luscious quality of an illuminated manuscript. 

Born in Japan, painter/printmaker Fumiko Toda lives in New York. Her artwork has an obsessive quality composed of intricate detail and repetition of form and pattern. Her paintings of butterflies, snakes and bugs are rendered with colors so vibrant as to appear as if they were ground from pure minerals or from the very insects themselves. Toda attributes her sense of design, space and line to her years in Japanese art schools, which emphasize such skills and craftsmanship. Toda counts as her artistic influences Odilon Redon and Jakuchu Ito.

  <Description><![CDATA[RARE Gallery presents a series of new paintings and works on paper by Christine Gray, a Richmond, Virginia-based artist, in &quot;Closer and Closer,&quot; her solo debut in New York. Her works focus on the very human impulse to purse revelatory experiences via Nature. In order to conjure these extraordinary moments of communion, Gray crafts make-shift talismanic objects of almost prehistoric intensity and simplicity and then paints them into settings of gorgeous luminosity and otherworldliness. The objects and their settings concentrate humankind's desires and yearnings, transforming them into something transcendent.

The title of the exhibition, &quot;Closer and Closer,&quot; underlines the persistence of Man's search for personal, meaningful interludes with the natural world. However, the very nature of this determination is weighed down with the intent to control or harness occurrences rather than allow them to come about naturally.

  <Description><![CDATA[Leopards in the Temple is a parable by Franz Kafka that reads as follows: &quot;Leopards break into the temple and drink to the dregs what is in the sacrificial pitchers; this is repeated over and over again; finally it can be calculated in advance, and it becomes a part of the ceremony.&quot;

The group exhibition of the same name focuses on moments of metamorphosis, paradox, and formal adjacency, borrowing from the parable an ability to promote multiple readings of succinct forms and extraordinary occurrences. Protean moments where materials elide, transform, and overlay take place in the work of Lothar Baumgarten, Nina Canell, Strauss Bourque-LaFrance, and Kitty Kraus, while the rules of image production are triangulated and problematized in the painting configurations of Patrick Hill, Lucas Knipscher, and Kerstin Brätsch and Adele Röder's DAS INSTITUT. Kathrin Sonntag and Nina Hoffmann (working in collaboration) and the collaborative duo João Maria Gusmão and Pedro Paiva present slide and film projections that explore the uncanny through acts of magnetism, doubling, and transference. And sculpture is framed and distributed as an effaced and often fictional artifact in the work of Latifa Echakhch, Aleana Egan, and Lucy Skaer. Gathering together an international group of artists, the works in this exhibition share an extra-linguistic interest in moments of translation and a resistance to fixed forms.

Leopards in the Temple offers an unusual opportunity for New York audiences to experience the work of a number of increasingly prominent European artists, including 2009 Turner Prize Nominee Lucy Skaer, João Maria Gusmão and Pedro Paiva, who together represented Portugal at the most recent Venice Biennale, Nina Canell, the winner of this year's Bâloise Art Prize at Art Basel 40 | Statements, along with Kathrin Sonntag, recipient of the 2009 Swiss Art Award and Kitty Kraus, recipient of the 2008 Blauorange Prize. The exhibition represents the first New York exhibition for a number of the participating artists.

  <Description><![CDATA[Michael Werner Gallery presents an exhibition of paintings by Swiss artist Félix Vallotton (Lausanne, 1865 – Paris, 1925). The exhibition features portraits of women, primarily nudes, and is the first gallery exhibition in New York devoted to the artist's paintings. 

Félix Vallotton's paintings do not give pleasure easily. In portraiture he is not a flashy virtuoso and his nudes are not &quot;sexy&quot;, at least not in any typical fashion. His paint handling is careful and deliberate; his palette, subdued and a little flat; his surfaces, slow and at times somewhat dry. His intense, unforgiving attention to detail lends a palpable realism to the paintings. Enlivened by a thinly veiled eroticism, his subtly voyeuristic scenes leave one feeling more than a little uncomfortable. This distinguishing quality in Vallotton is perhaps attributable to the artist’s method of combining sketches and photographs to compose a picture (encouraged by Vuillard and Bonnard, who also used photographs in the preparation of their paintings, Vallotton made frequent use of a Kodak). This process is more often associated with another of his contemporaries, Francis Picabia, yet Vallotton does not share Picabia's willful exuberance and lightness of touch, nor are his paintings concerned with any exploration of the relationship between painting and photography. Masterfully, Vallotton deployed an academic approach to create a unique psychological edge in his art. His surprisingly &quot;pre-modern&quot; qualities set Vallotton apart from his contemporaries and make his works appear fresh and worthy of consideration today.

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

  <Description><![CDATA[&quot;Mother the Cake is Burning&quot; refers to a schoolyard game that both artists played as children growing up in Germany and the USSR. The point of the game was for girls act to out what trouble could arise when mothers and daughters are neglectful of their kitchens.  Here in the gallery, these women underscore the importance of rebuked responsibility and mischievous desires gone astray in paint.  It is this delinquency that has consistently propelled these divergent practices.  

&quot;Now all you children stay at home,
And be good girls while I am gone...
Especially you, my daughter Sue,
Or else I'll beat you black and blue.&quot;
Rhyme for the game &quot;Mother the Cake is Burning&quot;, 1883 

Over the course of the last decade Anke Weyer has presented paintings that seem to defend and then discard the obvious traditions of craft and subject matter in painting. We have seen paintings that go from blackened landscapes to emotive dreamy figuration to coarse and degenerate abstractions all hanging within the same show. This latest exhibition is no exception. Decimated landscapes are returned to their animals, under-painting is washed with high chroma where unnatural color glows from behind a sometimes sludgy, sometimes lacy surface.  Riffing on the dashed Fauvist landscapes of Maurice de Vlaminck, Weyer tempers her color and brushwork. This restraint is lost when it comes to rendering form. Here a Kirchnerian freedom to place expression over the visual order of the real is consistently upheld.

In contrast to the unapologetic sprawl of Weyer’s works, Ms. Pankova offers us a series of stenciled face paintings on modest sized store bought canvases.  Made from a few stencils that are layered in many colors, the paintings are at once mysterious and plain. Ms. Pankova has often used a kind of installation to frame or modify a body of painting.  Here they are re-contextualized through the bookends of domestic potted plants, referencing Marcel Broodthaer's  home-built installation from 1968: ‚ Museum of Modern Art, Department of Eagles. This famous Duchampian &quot;institutional critique&quot;  is re-interpreted here by Pankova. Broodthaers' ironic objects are both replaced and deflated with the charm of lowbrow sentimental painting. The less-coded contents of Pankova's museum employ pathos over wit.  Here the critique can't even climb the institutions' front steps. Instead it loiters out front with the guy selling craft paintings on a blanket. The whole endeavor brings us down! to the street where paintings are returned their humble and stupid root.  

Both of these women stage a complex investment in how painting can fail. Both are insistent painters. Pankova is merciless in her deflation of painting but cant help to make a sincere picture when faced with the task.  In doing so she insists on the freedom to make a painting as she sees fit even if she trips over pathetic on the way.  Weyer's insistence is more to undermine than deflate.  She will keep digging.  Destined for avalanche, Ms Weyer holds a stubborn and illogical romance for light and shadow. There is a symbiotic relationship between these two practices that we are happy to finally have an opportunity to celebrate.  ]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[On October 9, 1940, the Galerie St. Etienne opened an exhibition with the unassuming title, “What a Farmwife Painted.” It featured thirty-four relatively small paintings [checklist nos. 4-12] by an obscure self-taught artist, Anna Mary Robertson Moses, from Eagle Bridge in upstate New York. Mrs. Moses, who had recently celebrated her 80th birthday, declined to attend the show. October was a busy month on the farm, she said, and besides, she had already seen the pictures. In an early review of the exhibition, The New York Herald Tribune noted that the elderly artist was known locally as “Grandma Moses.” The name stuck, and the seeds of a lasting legend were sown...

  <Description><![CDATA[Lori Bookstein Fine Art presents Antonakos: Whites, an exhibition of the artist’s white work in various media and different scales, focusing on the interaction of light with particular surfaces and edges. Drawn from the last 30 years, the examples embody the formalist engagement with physical and spatial relationships that has defined the work since the mid-1960s. Consistently non-referential, his geometric abstractions are, in his own words, “real things in real space.”

The interdependence of light and space, and the concern for specific architectural context and scale, that this exhibition seeks to exemplify, were powerfully evident in the 1960s in successive one-person exhibitions in New York and throughout the country. These included shows at the Fischbach Gallery, New York City; Neon Sculpture at the Fort Worth Art Center, and The Magic Theatre at the Nelson Atkins Gallery, Kansas City, among others.

Through the 1970s, many series of smaller, succinct “incomplete” neon forms in indoor installations were exhibited in dozens of personal and group shows here and throughout the United States and Europe. These crucially-placed linear forms referred to whole circles, squares, and other geometric shapes that might be completed in much larger scale in the mind’s eye. Antonakos dealt with these forms at the same time with a great range of invention in his drawings. These continue to be steadily produced, as shown in the group of recent “Crumples” – sheets of paper and Tyvek which the artist has quickly, firmly manipulated by hand.

Like the “Crumples” and all the artist’s works on paper and vellum, the earliest works here, the “Cuts” (1978, 1980), were created with Antonakos’s characteristic “plan/no plan.” Decisions are made regarding materials, scale, and general approach. Then there is an almost complete abandonment of conscious intention, and the hand leads the process. Both the “Crumples” and the “Cuts” offer a subtle invitation to the third dimension. This imaginative aspect is indicative of a temperament “so often concerned not with what is visible but with what is implied or concealed or incomplete.”

The specific motifs in the three wood Reliefs sprang from a series of Artist’s Books produced by hand in the 1980s. Their various jam-packed and spare compositions have been noted as relating to Constructivism. They reveal perhaps a harder, more rigorous aspect of the art.

Antonakos’s geometric Panels began in the early 1980s. Along with the public commissions, these are probably his best-known works. The segmented Panels (begun in the early 1990s) are deeply engaged with composition, proportion, the relationships between the elements within a work, and those between the work as a whole and the architecture and space around them. The chromatic glows of neon from behind their edges – and sometimes between the planes – affect both the wall and the space that we occupy as viewers.

Through the 1980s and 90s, aside from the circles and an occasionally slanted left or right side, the Panels remained structured orthogonally. “Voyage” (1999) is a stately major example. At the end of 2007, Antonakos introduced the first Panels with diagonal elements. “Departure” (2007) clearly shows the transition, with its bold arm signaling out from the side. With “Arrival” (2008) we see not a segmented plane, but a structure of three separate dynamic rectangles around a triangle of white light – a new concept. This direction continues with the fourth, still untitled, Panel in the show, dated 2010.

Though presenting only 16 works, the exhibition attempts to suggest the breadth and some of the essential qualities of the artist’s work. Like the “incomplete” geometry of his motifs, the selection may recall Beckett’s phrase, “complete, but with missing parts.”

Complementing this exhibition is a major new Panel with neon permanently installed in the Olympic Tower Atrium, 645 Fifth Avenue. Commissioned by the Alexander S. Onassis Public Benefit Foundation, “The Road to Mistra” is surfaced with gold and aluminum leaf, an homage to the Byzantine site in the Peloponnese.

Antonakos was born in Greece in 1926 and has always lived and worked in New York. He began exhibiting in the late 1950s and began working with neon, his signature medium, in 1960. There have been over 100 one-person shows, including a recent 50-year Retrospective in Athens, and over 200 group shows. His work is in many important museum and private collections throughout the US, Europe, and Japan. Over 50 permanent Public Works have been installed internationally. In addition to the kinds of work represented in Whites, Antonakos designs Chapels and Meditation Spaces and makes neon Walls, Artist’s Books, and collages.

  <Description><![CDATA[To celebrate the official move to Chelsea, Flowers is delighted to present a new body of work by the renowned British artist Richard Smith. This will be his first solo exhibition with Flowers in New York City. 

Smith, born in 1931, was a member of the brigade of artists who created the post-war renaissance of British art - a movement now attracting much deserved attention. A contemporary of Peter Blake and Joe Tilson at the Royal College of Art, Smith helped usher in the Pop Art movement with his paintings from the early 60s. 

Pop Art was not the only influence on Smith’s work. British abstraction played a major role in defining his career as an artist. Smith’s brilliant ability to effectively blend these diverse styles can be considered one of his greatest contributions to the art world. 

As with his work of recent years, Smith likens his new paintings and drawings to “Outsider” art, in that they convey a simplistic and straightforward point of view. They are eternally optimistic, echoing beautifully judged communication between shapes and radiant colors making them at once both seductive and intellectually satisfying.

Of the forty pictures, thirty-five have never before been exhibited. They include a peach with almond; a single pear; a watermelon wedge; roses in a glass vase; a group of orange, apples, and pear; and a single dollar bill, the last an exceedingly rare subject for which KULICKE is famous. KULICKE is renowned for his contributions to the field of historic and contemporary frame making, and many of the works in this exhibition were framed by the artist himself.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[In conjunction with Francis M. Naumann Fine Art, &quot;The Visible Vagina,&quot; the show is designed to make visible a portion of the female anatomy that is generally considered taboo―too private and intimate for public display. If shown at all, this part of a woman's body is usually presented in an abject fashion, generally within the context of pornography, intended, in almost all cases, for the exclusive pleasure of men. The goal of this exhibition is to remove these prurient connotations, implicit even in works of art, ever since the pudendum was prudishly covered by a fig leaf. This gesture of false modesty, it should be noted, was devised and enforced entirely by men (not only in the case of classical sculpture, but also in the Bible, in which, immediately after their disobedience in the Garden of Eden, Adam and Eve cover their genitalia with fig leaves). Indeed, until recently, men made virtually all depictions of the frontal nude female figure, but as this exhibition will demonstrate, that has changed dramatically in recent years. Inspiration for both the show and its catalogue came from Eve Ensler's &quot;The Vagina Monologues,&quot; a stage play that premiered off-Broadway in 1996, and was followed by various productions throughout the world (it appeared as a book in 1998). Ensler gave voice to countless women worldwide, honoring the complexity and mystery of their sexuality, basically encouraging them to consider their vaginas as powerful and expressive components of their physical selves, something not to be ashamed of, but to be proudly protected as an assertive and positive manifestation of their being. The idea for this show came from realizing that there was no better group to give vision to this goal than artists, many of whom had already incorporated imagery of the vagina in their works. Because of Ensler's pioneering work in this field, the catalogue is dedicated to her, and proceeds from its sale shall be donated to V-Day, the organization she founded to end violence against women and girls throughout the world.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[*Stéphane Malarrmé, Poet (18 March 1842 – 9 September 1898)

*“When ma is used in conjunction with the arts it relates to rhythm and berating (it was originally a concept related to
music). It can best be described in theater as a dramatic pause in spoken lines, in music it is interpreted according to each
musician's taste and how one wishes to space the notes. In painting, the empty space (ma) is used to enhance the whole
of the painting.” (http://japanese.about.com/library/weekly/aa082097.htm)]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[For years, Lowe has used humble materials and sly humor to critique the conventions, foibles, neuroses, and injustices of contemporary society.  She skillfully crafts individual objects and entire installations from papier-mâché and enamel paint.  That which initially appears to be a genuine psychiatrist’s office or library full of books is revealed as a cartoonish, very funny, ersatz construction freighted with jabs and cultural references.  Her targets have included the obsessive self-help movement, environmental destruction, and the pharmaceutical industry, among many others.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[The title of the show borrows from the infamous George Clinton + Funkadelic and their decades-long experimental movement combining music, fashion, illustration and performance. Their phrase, &quot;The Mothership Has Landed&quot; can roughly translate to &quot;The shit is about to hit the fan!&quot; and illustrates the collective nature of the group's overall expressive and raw quality.

A similar expressive and raw quality can be seen in this group of artists. Their works are cultural hybrids borrowing from the familiar and inspired by their investigation of media transformed through personal experience, resulting in a cosmic array of images, objects and performance. &quot;Here's a chance to dance our way out of our constrictions…with the groove our only guide, we shall all be moved.&quot;

One Nation Under A Groove -George Clinton + Funkadelic

  <Description><![CDATA[Throughout the 1980's and 1990's, Sakai's geometric based wood constructions articulated objects that were structured as a continuous embodiment of space and meaning. In this show, Sakai attempts to expose the correlation between four black and white paintings and four wooden wall sculptures. Even though the two bodies of work are created in different media they are executed in a parallel mode, both dealing with the concept of space and dimensionality.

  <Description><![CDATA[The most profoundly uncanny moments in life aren’t recognizable as such. They are like a ringing in the ears or a frame permanently askew, the missing object on a mantelpiece that lets you know that the scene has been disturbed. For &quot;Just Off,&quot; curators Peter Drake and Alix Sloan have brought together eleven uncannily like-minded emerging artists. With disconnected gestures, anatomical drawings of non-existent creatures, detritus still lives that remind one of ceramic figurines and everyday environments disrupted by unsettling forces, their imagery is similarly, subtly, disquietingly unhinged. The collected works are at their core familiar and beautiful but together they are undeniably and intriguingly &quot;Just Off.&quot;

  <Description><![CDATA[An international art movement of the 1960s and 1970s, Fluxus— whose name was based on the Latin word flux, meaning constant flow or change— brought together artists working in music, poetry, film, theater, and the visual arts. The movement challenged the commodification of art and favored nontraditional modes of expression, such as collective performances, inexpensive publications, and unlimited editions of small objects. This special installation of posters, newspapers, Fluxus editions, films, and photographs celebrates the recent gift by Gilbert and Lila Silverman of their renowned Fluxus collection.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Babcock Galleries presents &quot;African Americans: Seeing and Seen, 1766 – 1916,&quot; an incisive overview of refined and controversial fine art and popular culture images of African Americans as artists and subjects. Bitter brutality and cruel caricature alternate with respectful revelations and positive portrayals of the status of African Americans.  It may be said that all portrayals become betrayals in revealing the motivations and prejudices of their creator, and the images in this exhibition offer telling insights into the prevailing notions of the period.   Each work is not only a signpost of the complex nature of our cultural forbearers, but also a harbinger of the ongoing struggle for equal rights in the United States. Tess Sol Schwab, Assistant Director at Babcock Galleries and curator of this exhibition, points out that African American history “…can be catalogued by the racist and derogatory images across the centuries that have mirrored popular views while at the same time shaping and reinforcing them.  Yet, sensitive portrayals of blacks by whites also exist alongside them, as well as inspiring and successful careers by African American artists.”  Noting the contradiction in a country’s founding ideal of “all men are created equal” being penned by a man who owned two hundred slaves, &quot;Seeing and Seen&quot; attempts to reveal the many layers that emerged from this complicated beginning.

  <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[In this exhibition, acclaimed artist Kiki Smith presents a unique, site-specific installation exploring ideas of creative inspiration and the cycle of life in relation to women artists. Kiki Smith: Sojourn draws on a variety of universal experiences, from the milestones of birth and death to quotidian experiences such as the daily chores of domestic life. An important eighteenth-century silk needlework by a young woman named Prudence Punderson, The First, Second and Last Scene of Mortality (Collection of the Connecticut Historical Society), which provided original inspiration for Smith’s installation, is included in the exhibition. Punderson’s stark depiction of a woman’s journey from childhood to death in the years leading up to and immediately after the United States gained its independence intrigued Smith because rather than following the stereotypical rites of passage in a woman’s life of the period—marriage, family, and domestic life—this young woman chose to depict a life of the mind for her subject, presenting a woman engaged in creative work. 

In Sojourn, Smith, who is known for a psychologically acute, non-narrative approach to constructing installations, begins from the position of the adult female artist and cycles through a series of experiences and artistic genres that venture far beyond the autobiographical. Religion, mythology, and spirituality surface repeatedly throughout Smith’s work, and in this installation, the Annunciation is used as a metaphor for identifying the unknown and unexpected sources female artists draw upon for inspiration. Sojourn presents a variety of work by the artist in a range of media, including unique sculpture, cast objects, collage, drawing, and photography. To extend the conceptual relationships she will develop in the Sackler Center galleries, Smith will also incorporate two eighteenth-century period rooms in the Museum’s nearby Decorative Arts galleries into her project.

  <Description><![CDATA[This three person exhibition presents three different viewpoints/perspectives of a simple yet ambiguous notion in Japanese, “mawaru.” In English, “mawaru” means to turn around, spin, circulate or cycle, and to visit places. The theme of this exhibition spontaneously grew out of the common ground found in the works of three artists from Japan, living in New York, USA. 

ON megumi Akiyoshi created a series of paintings and sculptures called, &quot;Blooming Bubbles&quot;. ON visualizes life circulating and flowing perpetually in this world and beyond. In this flux, spumes are born and disappear just like flowers open and lose their petals. &quot;Blooming Bubbles&quot; are the artist’s projection of our existence. We are all given a certain amount of time in one lifetime, during which, ON wishes full blossoming for all beings. 

In the series, &quot;Zoological Specimen&quot;, Akiyuki Ina has created ‘resurrected’ stuffed animals, made of discarded clothing found on the streets of NY. These works are loosely based on animals that may become extinct in the near future. Though these are endearing creatures, by re-constructing them in such a way that the bones emerge from their bodies, Akiyuki imposes the horror of hybrid-transformation and deformation in the process of recycling materials. “Zoological Specimen&quot; evokes a hazardous cycle of modernization, which often results in a fragile co-existence with nature. 

Hiroshi Sunairi created a collection of video, photography and sculpture, entitled, &quot;Pilgrimage,&quot; based on his trip to China in 2006, passing through Beijing (北京), Lijiang (丽江), Shangri-la (香格里拉), Deqin (德欽), Feilai si (飞来寺) and Yubeng village (雨崩村) in the Yunnan Province (雲南省), near the border of Tibet Autonomous Region. This journey, culminated in meeting a Tibetan Lama and making a pilgrimage to Yubeng's sacred waterfall at the foot of Meili Snow Mountain, Kawakarpo-la (梅里雪山). For Sunairi, this work is a documentation of the act of pilgrimage.

  <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[Over the past five years Gregory has focused on the barn as American symbol and icon.  The barn, with its endless possibilities of shape and form, became a signature subject for the artist: round, peaked, with broken eaves, punctuated by many windows, clad with gables and siding.   A few years ago, the barns were “up front,” the main focus of each painting, with bits of landscape invented by the artist as a stage set for each structure.  Eager to push into new territory, to explore the line between land and sky, heaven and earth, Gregory amplified the scale of his works, doubling them in size, moving from panel to canvas. While the manifest content of each work is that line between heaven and earth, it is the underlying content, the metaphor that is most important in this new body of work, the balance between beauty, hope and despair; the loneliness of a starlit sky; the poetic and often pregnant sensation that is present where the horizon meets the sky in a way that does not address literal separation from earth.  The potency of a mountainscape invented by the artist as background and backdrop for a lone barn or a community of buildings bathed in blue afternoon light reminds one of the writings of John Steinbeck when the West was young and the symbol of hope for so many who moved there.  Gregory’s expansion of the landscape to include mountains at sunset, foothills at twilight, fields of golden grain and corn as the new moon rises in the sky seems more evocative and iconic than his earlier works. The poetry in the paintings is palpable, the sense of memory is undeniable, the depiction of a time and place, perhaps gone forever.  Each painting--most named for places the artist has been where he has been inspired--seems to be the beginning of a saga.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[DAWN and DUSK reflect the maturity in Mr. Olaf's approach to making photographs and his consideration of form and content. 
The genesis for this series came from artist's travels to the US, where he was struck by the interest of African Americans in an earlier body of work and his desire to expand his thinking about his subject matter.
He wanted to respond to and recreate the period atmosphere. DUSK is Olaf's first work in black and white in ten years. The artist describes the result as a &quot;dark comic strip&quot; for which he admits that he does not himself fully understand the content.
DAWN became Olaf's response to DUSK. This work, in color, is based on an encounter in Russia with people with pale skin in characterless rooms. The narrative content of DUSK is strong but not clear; the setting and the protagonists indicate some sort of personal, although enigmatic drama. DAWN inverts the dark tones of DUSK and plays them out into a cool, white field, with accents of light flesh tones.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[The artist’s second solo exhibition at Hirschl &amp; Adler Modern will feature more than sixteen new works in oil, ranging in size from 9 x 11 inches to 40 x 60 inches. Fresh and unconventional, the still life paintings in Nature Morte explore the subversive potential of beauty and pleasure found in the “raw stuff” of life – and death.

Dennis is known for his hyper naturalistic, highly detailed and obsessively delineated paintings that evoke nostalgia for familiar historical styles and aesthetic notions of beauty. However, it is Dennis’ provocative content that makes his work so compelling. In order to distill something otherworldly from within nature’s beneficence, Dennis uses imagery that is disorienting, disquieting, and even freakish. There is always something stirring beneath the surface.

  <Description><![CDATA[In 1975, the Metropolitan Museum of Art acquired more than four hundred works of Japanese art from collector Harry G. C. Packard (1914-1991), by gift and purchase. The acquisition instantly transformed the Museum into an institution boasting one of the finest collections of its kind in the West, with encyclopedic holdings from the Neolithic period through the nineteenth century. This exhibition celebrates the thirty-fifth anniversary of the acquisition of the Packard Collection, showcasing its particular strengths in archaeological artifacts, Buddhist iconographic scrolls, ceramics, screen paintings of the Momoyama and Edo periods (sixteenth through nineteenth centuries), and sculptures of the Heian and Kamakura periods (ninth through fourteenth centuries).

  <Description><![CDATA[Katayoun Vaziri makes works on paper and videos that pose pointed questions about the nature of personal narratives and civic identity: what are the stories we tell ourselves to determine our allegiances, national and otherwise? are there similarities between the way we divide ourselves from those around us and the way that nations draw their boundaries? She experiments with the temporal qualities of each of her chosen media, teasing out the storytelling capacities of each and playing them against each other.
On view in this exhibition will be the video 'Where Are We,' shot in a Lebanese camp for Palestinian refugees, and structured using the text of Mahmoud Darwish's poem 'A Noun Sentence; as well as new multi-panel work on paper.]]></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[Challenging the conventions of both sculpture and jewelry making, Munich-based artist Karl Fritsch creates rings that read as miniature sculptures. Often intricately constructed yet coarsely finished, Fritsch’s rings are marked by rough, oxidized finishes and detectable fingerprints, conveying the urgency of the rings’ materialization. He playfully mixes high and low materials, giving equal billing to diamonds, rubies, plastic pearls and glass gemstones. By making all his sculptures wearable in the form of rings, Fritsch liberates his media from static presentation and creates an unprecedented intimacy to the works, simultaneously subverting the notion that jewelry is mere décor and that sculpture must be admired at a distance. Among Fritsh’s works on display are a grouping of 7 rings inspired by the Seven Deadly Sins (Die 7 Todsünden)— pride (superbia), envy (invidia), avaice (avaritia), wrath (ira), sloth (acedia), gluttony (gula), and extravagance (luxuria). Decadently Baroque yet ominous in appearance, Fritsch interprets each sin with visual and material metaphors, using shards of glass, hand-formed oxidized gold &amp; silver, recycled estate jewelry, along with diamonds and pearls to create these spectacular allegorical pieces. The exhibition also features three new paintings by British artist, Richard Wathen, each featuring an enigmatic female figure of undeterminable age against a muted, tonal background. Transposing the cubist idea of using multiple perspectives of a singe object or person to describe the whole subject or experience, Wathen’s paintings convey multiple emotional and psychological states, revealing a subject whose lack of specificity tends toward the allegorical rather than the representational.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[One might think it easier to photographically reproduce a recent monochromatic painting by John Griefen than a 50’s painting by Ad Reinhardt, as the acrylic paint on a Griefen is textured and thick in contrast to Reinhardt’s matte application. But both Reinhardt and Griefen defy reproduction, and that is just one of the things they have in common. Both demand that the viewer powerfully and authentically engage the actual painting, and both are inextricably bound to the physical act of painting.

This physicality is probably why Griefen prefers a motorcycle to a car, his rustic home in Northern France to Brooklyn, or wine to water. Life is lived fully in the art of John Griefen, and the viewer can sense this in front of his paintings.

Griefen has been showing in New York City since the 1960s, with numerous exhibitions at Kornblee Gallery, Salander-O’Reilly Galleries, and others. His work is in major public and private collections, and has been discussed by writers as diverse as Rosalind Krauss (Artforum, 1969) Hilton Kramer (NY Times, 1973) and Terry Fenton, 1981. Gary Snyder/Project Space is pleased to present its first exhibition of John Griefen’s paintings.

  <Description><![CDATA[This season, the Studio Museum continues to explore and engage its permanent collection with the exhibition A Delicate Touch: Watercolors from the Permanent Collection. Presenting eighteen works on paper, A Delicate Touch brings together works dating from the late 1940s to 2007 that share the same medium.

Watercolor is quick, lightweight and portable. Successfully painting with watercolors requires dexterity, a soft touch and a delicate hand. The medium has an extensive history that dates back to European Paleolithic cave paintings. Scribes used watercolor to decorate illuminated manuscripts in the Middle Ages and European Renaissance. Eventually, watercolor became the technique of choice for artists to make sketches, copies and small-scale versions of larger works. Watercolor’s portability may account for why it was, and still is in many instances, the preferred painting style for depicting nature, wildlife and nautical themes.

The artists in this exhibition use the medium in a variety of ways. John Dowell, whose work Delicate Touch (1977) provides the inspiration for the title of the exhibition, uses watercolor to create meditations on jazz. Other mid-twentieth-century artists, including Romare Bearden, Beauford Delaney and Norman Lewis, chose watercolor for landscapes and nature scenes. Meanwhile, contemporary artists, including John Bankston, Wangechi Mutu and Otobong Nkanga, use the medium to capture forms and figures.

  <Description><![CDATA[“Skin Fruit” will be the first exhibition in the United States of the Athens-based Dakis Joannou Collection, renowned as one of the leading collections of contemporary art in the world. This will also be the first exhibition curated by Koons, whose early work inspired the evolution of the Joannou collection.

“Skin Fruit” will include over 100 works by 50 international artists spanning several generations. Focusing on the body in contemporary art, the exhibition will spotlight the age-old preoccupation with the human form as a vessel of and vehicle for experience. Koons’s title “Skin Fruit” alludes to notions of genesis, evolution, original sin, and sexuality. Skin and fruit evoke the essential tensions between interior and exterior, between what we see and what we consume.

Starting with the first, now-legendary exhibitions, such as “Artificial Nature” and “Post Human,” at his DESTE Foundation’s non-profit museum in Athens, Dakis Joannou has focused on works that present a new image of man. It is no coincidence that his collection developed in the cultural context of Greece, where Classical sculpture defined the Western canon of anatomical representation. Artists have arrived at a much more uncertain image of mankind in this new century, in which bodies are still idealized but also are assaulted by forces of our own making. Joannou’s collection is comprised of more than 1,500 works by 400 contemporary artists, from the most eminent to those just emerging. For “Skin Fruit,” Koons has selected sculptures, works on paper, paintings, installations, and videos by a group of artists including David Altmejd, Janine Antoni, Matthew Barney, Nathalie Djurberg, Robert Gober, Mike Kelley, Terence Koh, Mark Manders, Paul McCarthy, Tim Noble and Sue Webster, Kiki Smith, Christiana Soulou, Jannis Varelas, Kara Walker, and Andro Wekua, among others.

The show will also premiere new works such as Charles Ray’s re-envisioned Revolution Counter-Revolution (1990/2010); a new public installation of Jenny Holzer’s Selections from the Survival Series (1984); and a special 3-D book project by Italian artist Robert Cuoghi, and will include living sculptures by Pawel Althamer and Tino Sehgal. “Skin Fruit” will feature only one work by Koons—his One Ball Total Equilibrium Tank (1985)—the first major artwork that Dakis Joannou acquired, initiating the collection that would grow to be one of the world’s finest. Within the context of the exhibition this influential object, with its both familiar and mysterious orb suspended in fluid, becomes a womb, a point of origin and of departure. The installation for “Skin Fruit” has been conceived by Koons as a kind of panorama, with frequent shifts in scale and unconventional juxtapositions. Role-playing games and dramas occur: a man will stage a religious ritual; a sculpture literally sings out; white chocolate monuments tower above visitor’s heads; voracious creatures eat themselves and each other while bodies are buried or frozen; icons and deities are adored or dethroned.

The Imaginary Museum

With the exhibition “Skin Fruit,” the New Museum launches The Imaginary Museum, a new exhibition series that will periodically showcase leading private collections of contemporary art from around the world, providing the opportunity for rarely seen, great works of art to be accessible to a broader public.

Koons as Curator

The Museum invited Jeff Koons to curate the first in this series. Koons had his first museum exhibition at the New Museum in 1981. In addition to being one of the most accomplished artists of our time, Koons is a committed and highly informed art lover and collector whose interests span from Greek and Roman sculpture to contemporary art. Koons has said that he collects art “to have a world besides my world, to have another field of experience.” It is the combined perspective of artist, collector, and connoisseur that he brings to the task as curator of the New Museum exhibition. Jeff Koons and Dakis Joannou have enjoyed a close friendship and artistic dialogue for nearly three decades. Joannou has been a great supporter of Koons’s work from the beginning of his career, and a large concentration of Koons’s work from all periods is at the core of the Joannou collection. Koons’s role as curator reflects the ideals at the forefront of Joannou’s collection: ongoing conversations and collaborations with artists. In addition, it also signals the New Museum’s continued experimentation with adventurous curatorial formats. With this exhibition, the Museum seeks to further dialogues about alternative collaborations and the history of artist-curated exhibitions.]]></Description>

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

  <Description><![CDATA[This is the first time I am exhibiting an African-American group of artists. My gallery has exhibited black artists over the years in group shows. Many galleries have never shown them. The public should be made aware of good art whoever does it. 
The artists in this exhibition are truly masters of Abstraction. The black art movement was helped by the W.P.A., the G. I. Bill (after WWII) and the Civil Rights movement. With all that, most artists had to go to Europe to paint and sell – similar to the jazz musicians of that era. Many of these artists did show in the fifties and early sixties but like all abstract artists, they were eclipsed by the Pop and Minimal movements. Today, many galleries are showing younger artists of all races. This group of first and second generation black artists has fallen through the cracks and should not be forgotten.

  <Description><![CDATA[Jason Rulnick presents “Inside White”, a second solo exhibition by Lisa Abbott-Canfield. The paintings featured in this show were created from improvisational linear gestures the artist then rethinks and resolves until forms are complete. While looking at Abbott-Canfield’s work, the viewer is presented with a finished object that retains subtle traces of its under-painting process.  The final stage of the painting’s journey appears luminous and boundless as the shapes depicted extend beyond the plane and invoke their ambiance on the light that surrounds.   
 
Lisa Abbott-Canfield studied at NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts and received her Bachelor of Arts degree from Sarah Lawrence College in 1999.  She has been associated recently with the New York Studio School and The Painting Center in New York City.  Abbott-Canfield’s work has 
been featured with Jason Rulnick in the group exhibition “Abstract in Appearance” (Jan. 2008) 
and a solo exhibition of new work in May 2008. Lisa Abbott-Canfield lives and works in New 
York City where she is a member of the Westbeth Artists Community. ]]></Description>

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

  <Description><![CDATA[Central to my work is what I refer to as the law of opposites; I believe that there are polarities between things […] Positive/negative, the idea of pacing a painting in terms of complexity and simplicity, the idea of public versus private, are elements that have always interested me and that I've always tried in some way to build into the character of the paintings.
--Ed Paschke

Ed Paschke taught me what it meant to be a professional artist. His paintings are like drugs, but in a good way: they are among the strongest physical images that I've ever seen. Their effect is neurological.
--Jeff Koons

Gagosian Gallery presents an exhibition of the work of Ed Paschke, curated by Jeff Koons. As a student, Koons admired Paschke's work and became his assistant in Chicago in the mid-1970s while attending the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Paschke would prove to be an important mentor and formative inspiration for the young artist. The exhibition includes loans from key public and private collections in the U.S. and abroad, as well as rarely seen works from the Ed Paschke Foundation.

Born in Chicago in 1939, Paschke studied at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago during the height of the Imagist movement in the late fifties, while supporting himself as a commercial artist. He avidly collected photograph-related visual media in all its forms, from newspapers, magazines, and posters to film, television, and video, with a preference for imagery that tended toward the risqué and the marginal. Through this he studied the ways in which these media transformed and stylized the experience of reality, which in turn impacted on his consideration of formal and philosophical questions concerning veracity and invention in his own painting. At the same time, he sought living and working situations -- from factory hand to psychiatric aide -- that would connect him with Chicago's diverse ethnic communities as well as feed his fascination for gritty urban life and human abnormality. Thus he developed a distinctive oeuvre that oscillated between personal and aesthetic introspection and confronting social and cultural values.

In his early paintings Paschke both incorporated and challenged depictions of legendary figures by transforming them into corps exquis, such Pink Lady (1970) where he set Marilyn Monroe's famous head atop the suited body of an anonymous male accordion player; or Painted Lady (1971) where he redesigned screen legend Claudette Colbert as a tattooed lady fresh from a freak show. Another direction through which he explored the features and quirks of meaning and logic was in paintings of leather accessories interpreted as anthropomorphized fetish objects, such as Hairy Shoes (1971) and Bag Boots (1972). In the decades separating Pink Lady and Matinee (1987), Paschke shifted his interest from print to electronic media and a dazzling spectrum of televisual waves and flashes began to fill the paintings. Forms and images disintegrated, broken apart in the fabric of electronic disturbance and its surface. In Matinee, the face of Elvis Presley is fragmented into a field of glowing swathes of color with lips and eyes alone suggesting the human presence beneath the electronic overlay.

Paschke made use of an overhead projector to layer images, which he then rendered using the traditional and time-consuming medium of oil painting. He began with an underpainting in black and white, then addressed it with refined systems of colored glazing or impasto to enliven the optical and physical textures of his painting. With this original and painstaking process he created a formal parallel with the black-and-white-to-color progression in the historical development of printing, film, and television images, at the same time moving the subject matter from the particular to the non-specific to allow a wider range of interpretation. In his later work, once again forms became more solidified, moving back towards certain kinds of psychologized presences and the edgy tension that characterized his earlier work.

Unlike most of his Pop predecessors with their unthreatening embrace of popular culture, Paschke gravitated towards the images that exemplified the underside of American values -- fame, violence, sex, and money – a preference that he shared with Andy Warhol, who was one of his foremost inspirations. Although long considered to be an artist of his own time and place, his explorations of the archetypes and clichés of media identity prefigured the appropriative gestures of the &quot;Pictures Generation,&quot; and for a new generation of global artists his totemic, eye-popping paintings have come to embody the essence of cosmopolitan art.

The exhibition is accompanied by a fully illustrated catalogue, which includes essays by Jeff Koons and art critic Dave Hickey as well as reprints of important essays by the Chicago critic and art historian Dennis Adrian and New Museum curator Richard Flood.

  <Description><![CDATA[LARRY ZOX: PAINTINGS includes key paintings from the late artist’s personal collection, including rare works from the Round Centers and Loops Series.  
 
Represented in nearly every major museum in the country, Larry Zox achieved art world prominence in 1973 as the subject of a major retrospective at the Whitney Museum of American Art. Zox’s signature style – the splicing of a color field to give the sensation of shifting planes was pivotal in his early collage paintings, and evolved into the graceful looping patterns of his later work. The paintings on view in this exhibition reveal the individualism and brio that are the hallmarks of Zox’s contribution to American art.  
 
Arriving in New York as a young man, Zox quickly emerged as a talented master of painting and a gifted colorist. Those were the heady days of the 60’s and 70’s when artists from across the arts jostled one another in the bawdy, boozy, smoky atmosphere of art bars such as Max’s Kansas City. Zox distinguished himself among artists who sought to analyze painting as a thing in itself and to experiment with the reductive purity of color, line, and form. 
 
In its heyday, Zox’s studio on 20th Street was known as a colorful gathering place for artists, jazz musicians, bikers, and boxers. His love of jazz may have influenced his work. Critic Peter Schjeldahl wrote of Zox’s early paintings in the New York Times: “the result of such lavish, daring execution, within straightened circumstances, is a feeling of improvisation and fortuitous balance something like that of jazz. Maybe Mondrian, in attempting ‘Broadway Boogie-Woogie,’ was dreaming of Zox.” 
  
In 2005 the exhibition Larry Zox: Five Decades at Stephen Haller Gallery returned Zox’s name to prominence. New York Times art critic Grace Glueck hailed the exhibition as “a welcome return for Mr. Zox.” Art in America’s Edward Leffingwell wrote of his early work in the show: “Zox’s geometric abstractions of the 1960’s are as probing and engaging today as they ever were.” Of his 2006 exhibition New York Sun critic John Goodrich wrote: “the painting brims with arguments about symmetry and its violations.&quot; There is a sense of energy, freshness, vitality in the work that is palpable. Distinguished art critic Peter Schjeldahl characterized this quality as Zox’s “exuberant sensibility.”

  <Description><![CDATA[An artist of prominence in New York from the mid-1910s through the 1930s, Allen Tucker elicited inordinate respect from his peers for his integrity and broad-mindedness as well as for the creative versatility of his art, which critic Virgil Barker commended in 1928 for its “robust plentitude.” Including oils, and several watercolors, this exhibition showcases the variety and individuality of Tucker’s art, placing him within the unfolding of modernism in this country. Born in Brooklyn, Tucker studied architecture at Columbia University. In 1895, after working as a draftsman under Richard Morris Hunt, Tucker began his own architectural firm, with Alexis Reed McIlvane. About the same time, he also pursued his passion for art, studying at the Art Students League, where his mentor was John Twachtman. After McIlvane’s death in 1904, Tucker left architecture behind for painting. Spending summers abroad, mostly in France, he fraternized with other American artists, including Robert Henri, whose portrait he painted in the Brittany town of Concarneau. In 1908 he was among the first artists to show at the Whitney Studio Club, exhibiting with George Bellows, Jo Davidson, Henri, Ernest Lawson, and others. He played a significant role in the organization of the Armory Show of 1913, taking part in planning meetings and heading the Catalogue Committee. After the show, he was included in exhibitions at Montross Gallery, one of the first American galleries to respond positively to the new and innovative art. His first solo exhibitions were both in 1914, at Montross and the Memorial Art Gallery, Rochester. Tucker also served as unpaid advisor to Juliana Force, the curator of the Whitney Studio Club, the precursor to the Whitney Museum of American Art. When a memorial show of Tucker’s work was held at the Whitney in 1939, Force recalled Tucker as a man “whose faultless taste in art and inexhaustible sympathy with the problems of his fellow artists led to an association of many years, wherein his wisdom and understanding were of the greatest value in the development of those ideas which resulted in the formation of this museum.” Tucker was described similarly by his champion, Forbes Watson, art critic for the New York Evening Post and the New York World. Writing several articles and a book on Tucker, Watson unfailingly supported Tucker as an artist who fearlessly sought just the right means to express his personal and emotional responses to his subjects. This is borne out in both the diversity of Tucker’s subject matter and his willingness to change his stylistic handling from one work to the next. His admiration for the art of van Gogh, which led to his reputation as “the Vincent of America,” can be seen both in the rhythmic directness of his brushwork and in the way that his feelings drove his expression.

  <Description><![CDATA[This exhibition understands art in a very mundane sense as a source of solace. It is committed to the mildly intoxicating character of beauty and the inebriating quality of alcohol and embraces the baser genres of still life and decoration. The show comprises two perspectives. One addresses the topic of solace in a contemplative movement revolving around objects, video, and painting. The other focuses on the headier consolations of inebriation and intoxication. The exhibition at the Austrian Cultural Forum is supplemented by a series of performances and events taking place in different locations throughout the city, each bringing up a form of solace, be it meditative or delirious.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Encompassing more than one hundred objects drawn from the Brooklyn Museum’s world-renowned holdings of ancient Egyptian art, including some of the greatest masterworks of the Egyptian artistic heritage, To Live Forever explores the Egyptians’ beliefs about life, death, and the afterlife; the process of mummification; the conduct of a funeral; and the different types of tombs—answering questions at the core of the public’s fascination with ancient Egypt.

Two of the primary cultural tenets through thousands of years of ancient Egyptian civilization were a belief in the afterlife and the view that death was an enemy that could be vanquished. To Live Forever features objects that illustrate a range of strategies the ancient Egyptians developed to defeat death, including mummification and various rituals performed in the tomb. The exhibition reveals what the Egyptians believed they would find in the next world and contrasts how the rich and the poor prepared for the hereafter. The economics of the funeral are examined, including how the poor tried to imitate the costly appearance of the grave goods of the rich in order to ensure a better place in the afterlife.

Each section of the exhibition contains funeral equipment for the rich, the middle class, and the poor. The visitor will be able to compare finely painted wood and stone coffins made for the rich with the clay coffins the poor made for themselves; masterfully worked granite vessels with clay vessels painted in imitation; and gold jewelry created for the nobles with faience amulets fashioned from a man-made turquoise substitute. Objects on view include Female Figurine—one of the oldest preserved statues from all Egyptian history and a signature Brooklyn Museum object; a painted limestone relief of Queen Neferu; a gilded, glass, and faience mummy cartonnage of a woman; the elaborately painted shroud of Neferhotep; a gilded mummy mask of a man; and a gold amulet representing the human soul.

GASP indicates her response to the complex navigation of matters pertaining to humanity, technology and the environment. Her female protagonists simultaneously navigate artifacts of Indian miniatures and modern Mumbai living. Each woman grapples with the physical aspects of her body and/or image. Some women are large carrying child, others fat from consumption. Other women are starved of oxygen in a polluted environment or deflated in appearance for emotional complexities. Dhruvi has a unique working process that incorporates collage and multiple layers of synthetic polymer paint to create a resin like surface with opulent depth.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[The Hunter College Art Galleries are pleased to present Smoke+Mirrors/Shadows+Fog, an exhibition featuring 16 international artists whose use low-tech means to create astonishing and stirring illusions.  The intricate and elaborate works on view conjure deliberate deceptions (“smoke and mirrors”) and naturally occurring illusions (“shadows and fog”).  Although these works would seem to lend themselves to the digitized special effects and technology readily available today, this select group of artists tends to prefer age-old techniques such as trompe l’oeil painting, shadow play, and mirror anamorphosis. 

Several of the artists in Smoke+Mirrors/Shadows+Fog employ shadow, reflection, smoke, and even gravitational pull to create substantive permanent artworks.  For example, Jim Dingilian (whose latest works will be on view for the first time at the Hunter College/Times Square Gallery) captures smoke residue in empty liquor bottles and then uses Q-tips and toothpicks to draw detailed dimensional landscapes on the inside of the transparent glass.  Other artists included in the exhibition represent space, distance and dimensionality so convincingly that they seemingly dematerialize solid architecture (in a few cases the gallery walls themselves).  This phenomenon is epitomized in Sarah Oppenheimer’s site-specific installation—a custom-designed aperture fit directly into the gallery’s entrance wall which effectively distorts the depth of field so that the adjacent space appears flat, like a projected image.

  <Description><![CDATA[This exhibition celebrates the development of new styles and themes in American art during the 1930s and 1940s, a time when the American Scene movement evolved into a national art form that described and critiqued America's unique culture. To be accessible to all classes of Americans, realism was the language of the American Scene artists who fit into three distinct groups: Regionalists, Urban Realists, and Social Realists. This exhibition focuses exclusively on Regionalism, exploring the evolution of its style and content during the 1930s and 1940s.

When viewed collectively the work exposes a dichotomy between dominant color use in modernist painting and the humanism of sympathetic painterly concern.

  <Description><![CDATA[Thomas Erben Gallery presents Animate Matter, an exhibition of works by Pia Maria Martin, Dona Nelson, Richard Staub and Rose Wylie. Although from vastly different generations, all four artists are seemingly entrenched in their chosen medium, animating with their available tools and formal vocabularies the materiality and (art) historical references in order to engage the viewer in ways of looking at what ought to be inanimate objects. One can sense a pleasure for drawn-out process and aesthetic experimentation in the work of the participating artists.

In her stop-motion animation For Olga, Pia Maria Martin brings to life random objects strewn throughout an abandoned office building. Like in her earlier works, the empty rooms, closed off from public view, do not only become the site of production but source of inspiration for a play-a make-believe-taking place on the stage it offers. The eerie, while witty result is a guided tour through animated spaces, infusing the film with a personality rather than a narrative.

Dona Nelson's paintings, many of which have moved off the wall into the space of the room, possess a similar quality of the animated inanimate object. The images moving across the face (and back) of her paintings-far from being purely material-are charged with imaginative implications that never supercede their factual material reality: the canvas, the paint, the stretcher, the glued cloth and stitched cord. Nelson's paintings overrule the distinctions implied in the words: imagination / image / materiality.

The works assembled by Richard Staub repurpose the ordinary of everyday life in ways that simultaneously suggest fetish objects, Dior's New Look, baroque tableaux and memento mori. Suspended from the ceiling or fixed to the wall, these combinations of packing tape, paper, foil, and plastic bags stand in for different pneuma. Their very materiality gives them gravity and evokes states of energy that extend from stasis to an errant dynamism. By gathering, spray painting, compressing and tearing, Staub gives his material an immediate presence, pinning his work to the viewer's world.

British artist Rose Wylie captures in her drawings our preconceptions of the world by replacing them with childhood-like wonder. These could be hilarious and silly, or anxious and nightmarish - but always subjective, informal and direct. Her quirky drawings are richly associative, mixing numerous different and often clashing source materials that fuse ancient, modern and contemporary references into a bold and gutsy whole.

  <Description><![CDATA[More than almost any other German painter, Otto Dix (1891-1969) and his works have profoundly influenced the popular notion of the Weimar Republic. His paintings were among the most graphic visual representatives of  that period, exposing with unsparing and wicked wit the instability and contradictions of the time.

The exhibition includes more than 100 masterpieces by Otto Dix, and addresses four themes. The first is Dix’s traumatic experiences as a soldier in World War I. The second is portraiture, a genre at which the artist excelled. The third is sexuality, a key theme in the Dix oeuvre. The fourth is religious and allegorical painting. The show includes the work that Dix is best know for—paintings from the so-called “golden Weimar years”—but to contextualize them, it also includes Dix’s work from the early 1920s, as well as his later work, produced as veiled protest against the Third Reich.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[The Bruce High Quality Foundation announces the opening of The BRUCENNIAL 2010: Miseducation on February 25th at 6pm. 

Since its founding, the BRUCENNIAL has evolved into The Bruce High Quality Foundation's signature public program, as well as the most important survey of contemporary art in the world ever. Following the triumphant successes of BRUCENNIAL08: Doing it Again (Bushwick) and BRUCENNIAL09: Smithumenta (Carol Gardens), BRUCENNIAL2010: Miseducation brings together 420 artists from 911 countries working in 666 discrete disciplines to reclaim education as part of an artist's ongoing practice beyond the principals of any one institution or experience.

I think the Brucennial is like—in the life of the people—it’s like an anniversary in the life of people. The people, they need moments to celebrate themselves and that’s what a Brucennial is. The Brucennial happens every two years, or really, you know, whenever we feel like it, and it’s a moment of celebration of the history of the people—of the reason why the people exist, of the nature of the people. Again, it’s like a person. If not there would be a flux of time without an interruption and I think that as people, people are live entities and they need to have some moments where they recognize this liveliness of their existence.

  <Description><![CDATA[Harris Lieberman presents The Demon of Noontide, the first U.S. solo exhibition of Danish artist Simon Dybbroe Møller. In his latest body of work, Møller addresses the fallacy of progress - particularly as it underlies the avant-gardist paradigm of artistic development and the unrelenting pace of technological advancement. The artist's paintings, performance, and videos signal neither a celebration nor a critique of progress, but rather by foregrounding their conceptual and process-based iterations, introduce a cyclical alternative to this dominant model.

Three films in the back gallery follow the exhibition's recurring character as he engages in mundane tasks like driving a car, working in the office and retrieving an article of clothing from a dry cleaning carousel. In lieu of diegetic audio, a string quartet accompanies these videos by precisely imitating every sound produced by the featured machinery. While bringing to mind a whole array of films either made in celebration or critique of technological progress, this &quot;symphony of machines&quot; instead merely exhibits sensuality within monotony. With unapologetic neutrality, he short videos give us mechanized, fragmented and emptied time.
A new series of paintings span the walls of the main gallery, comprising inkjet prints of photographs of canvas that Møller has applied, with wallpaper paste, to actual canvases. As the paste and water sap colors from the printouts, Møller's brushstrokes gradually appear: functional marks that incidentally double as signs of expressive technique. Here the most commonly used machine for image reproduction - the household printer - becomes a chance producer of images of alchemic qualities.]]></Description>

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

  <Description><![CDATA[Pilgrimage and Buddhist Art is the first major exhibition of its kind devoted to the impact of Buddhist pilgrimage on Asia’s artistic production. It highlights approximately 120 objects of importance and extraordinary quality, including sculptures, paintings, prints, ritual implements, photographs, and maps. The objects, dating from the first to the twentieth century, will be on loan from museums and private collections in North America, and a number of the pieces have never been displayed publicly before. Pilgrims and pilgrimage inspired centuries of artistic production and its patronage influenced the development of visual culture in Asia. ]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[In One Hundred Drawings and Ostinatos Forsyth continues her documentation of historic sites of disaster. Instead of relying on images of spectacle, she has traveled to these places and documented things left behind. Fleeting presences—such as clouds floating overhead or wildflowers growing along the road—are the focus of this work. Using a process that is part requiem and part cathartic obsession, she translates these nearby presences into thousands of sinuous loops of undulating color, intricately cut and stacked paper flowers, and minute hand stitches to evoke ideas about memory, loss and grief.

In Text Work, Forsyth has scoured many old newspapers for written information. She has noted many poetic passages that conjure graphic images of their own. Punching quotes from these sources, which include eyewitness testimonies and first-hand accounts, into single sheets of white paper, Forsyth has left us with a lacey absence that provides a quiet counterpoint in this exhibition.

Seven historical disasters bind the work in Over &amp; Over including: The Tacoma Narrows Bridge Collapse, The Frank Slide, The Hoboken Pier Fire, The Ripple Rock Explosion, Hurricane Hazel, Great Fires of 1947, and The New Carissa Wreck. Forming a historical backdrop for the work, the narrative accounts of each event do not overshadow the work, rather they act as a counterpoint to her own experiences at each site. In this mediation between past and present, Forsyth’s work raises questions about the continued depiction of violence in media-driven documentation of historical events. ]]></Description>

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

  <Description><![CDATA[Lombard-Freid Projects presents Pictograms, Tala Madani’s third solo exhibition at the gallery, which premieres new paintings and animations by the Iranian born artist.

Interested in the complexities and histories related to how we read a painting, she obscures perceptions and veils meaning by transforming the symbols of written language into the subject of her darkly comic visual games.

The diversity of her painterly language takes on a new facet with this series in which she introduces a graffiti-like spray-paint technique. In some works, she makes a grid of sprayed ‘spotlights’ in order to highlight certain scenes of a narrative, while in others the spray creates a halo effect around the characters as a riff on the tradition of illuminated manuscripts.

Madani hints at important connections between power structures and language with Leviathan, one of the large canvases in the show, which depicts a giant whose body is constituted entirely of fluorescent nude male contortionists in the shapes of anatomically suggestive letters. Madani’s version of this biblical monster recalls the frontispiece of Thomas Hobbes’ seminal doctrine of the same title (1651), which portrays a crowned Leviathan (a personification of the Commonwealth) whose torso is made up of hundreds of smaller figures.

Another large-scale painting, Camo, with its composition of jumbled and interlocking ‘letter-people’, makes reference to Warhol’s iconic camouflage works, while with similar irony defeats the concept with its electric palette. With characteristic humor, the act of concealment is achieved by clothing the figures.

In Eye Exam, she renders the familiar vision chart entirely null with each letter already blurred, while in another smaller canvas, the efficacy and functionality of language is questioned as the letter ‘A’ pushes an empty wheelbarrow.

Madani’s latest stop-motion video animation, The Dancer, created by painting and repainting a single canvas, features a lone figure improvising dance moves ranging from ballet to hip-hop. With each movement, the dancer twists and bends into extreme positions, generating shapes that allude to the paintings in the show.]]></Description>

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

  <Description><![CDATA[Working within this diverse range of printmaking methods fostered an intuitive parsing of structure and process. In Moser’s words: To work on a print is to strip down the constructive parts of an image, slowing down and revealing the performative aspects of it’s making. I'm intrigued by how the process records both the structure and the event and makes the process of becoming visible. Hand in glove ⎯ the gesture in cahoots with the machine. 
These prints and a contemporaneous series of drawings called Sixteen Street led Moser to introduce a new dynamic into her new paintings. She establishes a dialogue between the tracery of wide metallic brushstrokes and her characteristic ﬁne line grafﬁto. She has set aside the deep prussian blue that deﬁned the prior body of work for a range of saturated color, here too playing off a relationship between neutral tones and vibrant hues. In her newest canvases ⎯ Slipstream, Mary Mary and House of Cards ⎯ a larger formheart of her work.

  <Description><![CDATA[“To see the ocean is to experience the sublime. The great beauty of the littoral, the fluctuating place where land meets sea, is mystery made corporeal. I can’t really capture in paint something so profound; I can only respond and, in doing so, perhaps understand it a little.” 

In terms of contemporary practice and art history, Frank Lind’s allegiance is to the long rainbow line of brilliant painters of nature. Corot, Homer, Sorolla and Sargent are particular inspirations. One less well known but who speaks from the past is James Perry Wilson, the painter of the best background images in the dioramas in the Museum of Natural History in New York City and the Peabody Museum at Yale. Wilson used a palette of only twelve tube colors, and yet could mix an astonishing range of hues. 

In Lind’s current practice, the distilled use of these twelve colors creates an intimate dynamic between paint and imagery that is transporting—looking at these paintings you smell the ocean breezes and revel in the play of light on water. 

His studio is located in gritty downtown Brooklyn. Yet, located as it is on the extreme western tip of Long Island, Brooklyn is of a piece with the pristine beaches that stretch one hundred and twenty miles to the east. Lind often escapes from the crowded inner city to the blue sky and waves of the Atlantic Ocean, sometimes to paint, always to observe and absorb. 

Some of the ocean paintings are not only depictions of the sea, but also of the complexities of human interaction with these primal forces. His models are at times his wife, Jeanne Wilkinson, and her two sons, Aaron and Andrew Yonda. ]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[This installation features fourteen bold and colorful paintings created by contemporary Aboriginal Australian artists. Drawn from a private collection in the U. S., the installation provides an introduction to Aboriginal painting, which has become Australia’s most celebrated contemporary art movement and has attained prominence within the international art world. The works on view—all of which have never before been on public display—were created primarily over the past decade by artists from the central desert, where the contemporary painting movement began, and from adjoining regions, to which the movement spread. On view are paintings by prominent artists, including some of the founders of the contemporary movement, as well as emerging figures. This is the first presentation of contemporary Australian Aboriginal painting to be held at the Metropolitan Museum.

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

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

  <Description><![CDATA[The exhibition consists of two series of paintings—landscapes and interiors—which depict fractured representations of complex fictive realms.  The paintings on view explore syncretic, contemplative, dream-like scenes, inspired by imagery culled from tours of both India and Northern Europe over the past several years.  Wollard cites work from folk art museums in Karnataka and Delhi, the Dr. Guislain museum as well as Van Eyck’s Ghent Altarpiece as influential.

The interiors, which Wollard refers to as “Psychic Architecture,” are the result of his fascination with 19th century glass structures and the conflation of the self-evident boundaries of interior and exterior space.  Drawing parallels between these artificial spaces and the human mind, Wollard explores open-ended territory where imaginary histories and painterly inclinations merge.

In contrast, the landscapes are imagined geographies in which diverse personal and historical iconographies interact and interrupt narrative flow.  They examine the simultaneity of multiple realities as they collude and collide in nature, offering whimsical, strange and otherworldly connections.  The figures appear to interact with a kind of detached intimacy, empty of any pre-determined logical causality, allowing uncommon relationships to unfold openly.]]></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[Walsh is known for paintings that employ linear geometry while at the same time subverting it with irregularly drawn shapes, inconstant lines and a pervasive wit. Over time, Walsh’s formal (yet purposefully casual) vocabulary has tended to concentrate around the repetition of simple strokes forming intricate, visually striking patterns, such as punctuated lines, cross-hatched grids, concentric squares and collapsed diamonds.  Despite their layered complexity, Walsh’s paintings make no mystery of their process.  They are “proposals” presenting various options, or ways in which programmatic ideas are realized.  They suggest the shifting balance between the amount of control exerted over an image and the freedom or flexibility to let the image veer off in its own direction. 
The exhibition includes six to eight new paintings, as well as a multipanel project titled Days and Nights, which will function as an experimental, self-reflective chart of Walsh’s own tangling with his painting process.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[An extraordinary 24 ft. long “Silent Flower” painting was transported from Tokyo to blanket the walls of the Chelsea Art Museum. Kotaro Fukui is a Japanese artist who created this masterwork by applying gold foil to washi, a handmade Japanese paper, employing brush ink to create stems and leaves, and then superimposing blue lapis lazuli pigment on the result. The precious blue stone powder is simultaneously subtle in application but powerful in affect. 
Traditionally in East Asia, the iris has been a talisman against evil.  An iris painted on a soldier’s armor was said to protect him from enemies.  Irises have also symbolized longevity because they stand straight reaching towards the sky and the blue of the petals recalls the blue of sky and sea – in addition to the photographs of Earth from space. Fukui’s fascination with irises reflects his concerns with nature and the role of humans in nature.
Kotaro Fukui’s work mainly focuses on ostriches, irises, and recently peonies. His work addresses themes of nature, body, and Eastern spirituality. He paints ostriches on Washi paper, canvas, kimonos, obis, ostrich eggs, and even on the human body and motor vehicles. He also makes murals; he has painted the inside of a curved tunnel a long line of ostriches walking, running, and gazing intently at the viewer. His improvisational performances are inextricable linked to the concepts of Zen philosophy. When he stands on the paper holding the ink, and randomly drops the first gobs of ink. The form to come and where the lines will go are unknown. He often says before the action” I am nervous, because, I don’t know what the painting will eventually look like.” During the action, we can only hear the heavy inhalation and exhalation of his breath along with the rhythm of the music; then we will find the artist himself transformed into an ostrich - he darts about like a bird and his movement draws the lines that form the painting. It takes not more than half hour, and the audience invariably enjoys the stunning performance art. There will be performances on March 6 at 4pm.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[The title of the exhibition is Manumission, a term with a complex history. Manumission refers specifically to a slave owner's ability or discretion to free a slave. That power, in the hands of the men that wielded it, is the same power exercised by the philanderer in the choosing and the dismissal of his mistress.

The paintings in this exhibition are all portraits; most depict the illegitimate children of various Presidents of the United States, others their mistresses. Many of these figures, such as Sally Hemings and Grace Kelly, are well known. Others are considerably less so, and even less so are their children. Through this series of portraits, Kevans explores the representation of power, the lack thereof, and its manipulation in the hands of those who posses it. Having an affinity for the marginalized, Kevans paints figures overlooked, exploited, or objectified within the context of history or contemporary culture, imbuing her subjects with a tangible humanity and sensuality.

Kevans' wide-eyed rendition of William Beverly Hemings conveys an innocence that arrests its viewer, yet exposes dark themes that belie its surface. William, the son of Sally Hemings, is believed to have been fathered by Thomas Jefferson. With William's startled and seemingly innocuous gaze, Kevans alludes to the injustice and hypocrisy perpetrated by one of the most revered figures in American History.

Kevans looks to historical texts, illustrations, or photographs for source material, when possible. Yet as is often the case with figures that have been all but forgotten or perhaps deliberately omitted from history, she visualizes characters by borrowing features from life models. In effect, lending a face to the faceless and casting light on issues that are uncomfortable and thus ignored.

Implementing loose brushwork and layers of translucent oil paint, Kevans paints her subjects in a manner so elegant and subtle that she allows the character of both the medium and the subject to speak for themselves. Given their rich individual histories, the manifestations of these characters are as incredible as the feat of their rendering.

  <Description><![CDATA[This spring, White Box in association with Firstsite Contemporary Art is hosting a highly challenging exhibition of paintings and drawings of execution chambers in the USA by the critically acclaimed artist Robert Priseman. The exhibition is a part of Robert Priseman's extended &quot;Modern Means of Execution&quot; project which has been four years in the making. It was initially inspired by Nick Broomfield's television documentary on the execution of serial killer Aileen Wuornos. &quot;I was working on paintings of hospital interiors when I saw the documentary, and I became aware of similarities between the iconography of execution facilities and those of medical institutions,” explains Priseman. Originally shown at the Dazed Gallery in London, the book was launched in London and Paris in October with the support of Firstsite Contemporary Art. It opens with an account from Rev. Cathy Harrington whose daughter Leslie Ann Mazzara was lost to murder. Cathy negotiated a life sentence for her daughter’s murderer, Eric Copple, who had potentially been facing the death sentence. This is followed by a view of life from inside death row at San Quentin by PEN winner Anthony Ross who was a former Crips gang member alongside Stanley ‘Tookie’ Williams. Then former Texas prison Warden and Peabody recipient, Jim Willett, who oversaw 89 executions gives a detailed description of how an execution is carried out. A visit to see Robert Priseman's paintings and etchings of American execution chambers is no easy experience. Standing in front of the almost life-size paintings, you, as the visitor, are the only person in the painting and therefore the execution 'room'. There is no escaping from a full-on confrontation with the cruelty of the death penalty and the reality of your own mortality.

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

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

  <Description><![CDATA[For years, I have been watching the kaleidoscopic and chameleon face of nature and despaired of ever catching its infinite details. Instead, I chose an alternate route where forms become gestural and iconic and likewise, places are transformed and condensed. These places that were once in specific locations have now become embedded in a temporal-spatial discontinuity similar to that of theater, cinema, and choreographic sequences.

The exception in this exhibit is a diary of revisited Rome and Southern Italy after twenty years absence. These gouaches are part perception, invention, and memory.

  <Description><![CDATA[Valerie Jaudon’s new paintings feature bars and bands of white paint, either placed against a raw linen ground or seemingly incised into a solid white field. Short and concise figures blend with long, complex compound shapes. The asymmetric construction of the paintings sets up a reading that is programmed but non-logical – one that leads the eye in unexpected ways across and through the canvas. Disjunction and dissonance meet with resolution and completion. To regard these paintings is to participate in an act of translation – to move from a map, a diagram, archaeology of overlapping circuits, into an experience. Jaudon is concerned with setting up the conditions of observation, showing the viewer how to look, not what to see.
These are some of Jaudon's most romantic paintings, musical and full of feeling, but as always, crafted with great care and precision. They are intensely material. The paint is thickly brushed and refractive, scattering light and adding chromatic complexity to her whites. The painted linear elements contrast with the rich, absorbent brown of the linen, just as her systematic geometry pushes up against the intuitive and contingent. Jaudon has developed her pictorial language over many years, and these paintings consolidate her previous work while opening up fresh vistas for future investigation.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Corey D'Augustine's work examines the intersection of formalism and everyday life. Social and economic inequality is endemic and a function of social systems that consistently reward greed. For D'Augustine art is a model for a personal withdrawal from these systems to maintain a positive influence on the people and environment around us. This model aims to erase preconceived distinctions in favor of the direct experience of materials and their formal qualities. Marsha Melnick's recent paintings occupy a terrain that navigates between figuration and abstraction. In her response to the natural world, color, composition, gesture, and mark-making play supporting roles in the intuitively orchestrated development of her work. Real and invented landscape elements intertwine and provide a jumping-off point for the artist's deeper exploration of imagery. With raw materials, Gar Wang's wall sculptures reflect her passion for animals and a lifestyle closely entwined with nature. She works with silk, bamboo, hemp, as well as wool from rabbit, sheep, goat, dog, alpaca, and camel combining these soft materials with stainless steel, wood, metal and clay. By contrasting these raw materials she brings out their inherent characteristics as she explores their texture, form and light.

  <Description><![CDATA[The artist will transform the gallery space with nearly thirty paintings, measuring between 10&quot; to 30&quot; inches squared, and featuring a wide range of experimentation in materials and supports.

For more than five decades, Robert Ryman has been engaged in an ongoing experiment with painting. He constantly seeks to modify his approach, resisting the comfort of tendency and maintaining the freshness of an unchartered territory. From each experience Ryman gleans the variables for a revised proposition and the impetus to propel him towards his next move.
 
This encyclopedic exhibition presents a vast range of facility with the material properties of paint on a variety of supports used both individually and in conjunction with one another, including wood, MDF board, aluminum, and stretched cotton. One-third of the works on view are painted on Tyvek, an extremely thin industrial material composed of spunbonded Olefin. Although Tyvek has the appearance of paper, the material is deceivingly strong.   The artist approaches the new works with paints possessing varying properties, such as acrylic varnish, enamel, and epoxy, in addition to graphite and ink. Penciled grids float in and out of focus, sometimes obscured by paint, sometimes left uncovered.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Decomposing in the Land of Paradise consists of twelve oil-on-canvas, impasto paintings that bind themes of merriment and carnival with those of horror and the grotesque. Tyler critiques contemporary conventions by juxtaposing references to high and low art, reality and fantasy, irony and comedy; the history of art and mythology also play essential roles in his oeuvres.

By using thickly layered oil paints to create structurally loose forms, Tyler simultaneously suggests both composition and decomposition.  While his highly charged use of color bears a clear reference to abstract expressionists such as Willem de Kooning and Philip Guston, his relatively static brushwork is reminiscent of illustration and graffiti, which directly question the division between “high” and “low” art.

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

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

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

  <Description><![CDATA[The main idea of this exhibition is to link different artistic expressions, languages and backgrounds, thus illustrating the plurality of these artists. The most talented young Spanish Art will have an important platform on which to be promoted. &quot;Spain in the City&quot; aims to be like the New York metropolis, a plural and heterogeneous exhibition, where diverse artistic languages and ways of perceiving the same reality from different perspectives and sensibilities, come together in the same geographical starting point: the city of New York. Thus, the Spanish artists that take part in this exhibition represent somehow what this city is, but also their works bear witness to the remarkable creativity and excellent development of Spanish art beyond its borders. This exhibition will hold paintings of Pedro Barbeito, where he links digital image and painting, and Hugo Fontela, where a dead palm tree on a quiet beach is the central character. Itziar Barrio through installation, video and photography will make us think about our obsession to fit into society standards and uses new signs and symbols taken from marketing and publicity. The idea of space and how we perceive it, is related with Juanli Carrion’s photograph boxes and the works of Javier Martin de Frutos. Although their languages are very different, both describe the New York landscape. Verónica Peña and Anton Cabaleiro’s videos, narrate the personal perception of their lives and experiences in the city. Finally, Jacobo Castellano takes us to the places where he lived and found materials with which he made his bright pieces, opening a dialogue between them and the space around.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Gagosian Gallery presents an exhibition of recent paintings by Alberto Di Fabio.

Di Fabio's work is inspired by the fundamental laws of the physical world, as well as organic elements and their interrelation. His paintings and works on paper merge the worlds of art and science, depicting natural forms and biological structures in vivid color and imaginative detail. Throughout his abstract images, he has developed and expanded his interest in the natural world. In his early paintings, he examined the structures of flora and fauna, as well as eco- and astral systems, moving on to the study of genetics, DNA, and the synaptic receptors of the brain, and the realm of pharmaceutical and medical research.

In his latest work, Di Fabio investigates the perennial human fascination with the relationship between art and the cosmos, addressing the laws that regulate chaos in the universe, such as the theory of relativity and quantum theory. Di Fabio cites a broad range of influences and inspirations from Italian Futurist Giacomo Balla, to post-war modernists such as Enrico Castellani, Lucio Fontana, and Robert Ryman. Speed of Light (2009), for example, represents light rays in minimal form, meditating on the vastness and infinity of the medium. In this new series, Di Fabio expands his vision into meticulous detail using dots and strips of acrylic paint to interrupt the spatial field of the painting. Each of the multiple centers of the composition serves as both a cognitive and visual cue.

  <Description><![CDATA[Herb Brown has never colored between the lines. His over-painted advertising signs and subway posters boldly challenged both the role of graphic imagery in consumer culture and the unacknowledged censorship imposed upon society and the art world in the 1960s. Brown refused to conform, even when major New York art gallery owner Leo Castelli rejected his work in 1965 deeming the content pornographic and inappropriate for a commercial gallery space. The following year, Brown was interviewed by the New York Times at a show of erotic art at the Sidney Janis Gallery. Though the authorities visited the show, the work was less confronting and, therefore, tolerated. Brown called it “a vast deception, fantastically watered down.” He continued to paint uninhibitedly, producing a body of work that artist Budd Hopkins described years later as “so blatant and ferocious that (it) may give pause to D.H. Lawrence or to that matter to Henry Miller.” Brown is far from a newcomer to the art world. Yet the obscenity laws of the 1960s, along with a massive studio fire that destroyed over 900 works of art in 1966, have kept his truly historical works hidden from the public eye. BLT gallery is proud to start off their second season presenting the paintings and video works by New York artist Herb Brown (b. 1923). A prized student of Max Beckmann, teaming a trained de Kooning stroke with a wit usually reserved for collage works, Brown’s work is refreshingly intelligent. With his exploration of consumerism and hypocritical societal values, bold use of color, and fondness for the comic, Herb Brown is a true 1960’s pop art Icon.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Ayesha Durrani's work is a reflection of her traditional upbringing in Peshawar. Her images of tailors' dress forms speak to the limitations placed upon women's independence in various traditional, patriarchal societies throughout the Middle East and South Asia. Durrani's faceless mannequins, presented in varying, often-disparate contexts, are examples of the irony that even when women seek to outwardly exhibit their individuality through superficial adornments, they remain constrained within the boundaries and standards their particular society has set for them. In a broader sense, although the varying colors of the dress forms and the shifting environments in which they're placed can be seen as representing differing personalities and emotional contexts, the mannequin, as an &quot;ideal&quot; form, remains a cultural standardization of &quot;womanhood&quot; recognized in the majority of modern societies. That is to say that while ideals of femininity may vary amongst cultures, the fact that some version of an &quot;acceptable&quot; ideal does exist remains a societal constant.

In her latest works, Durrani delves deeper into the psyche of repressed women by using hearts as a recurring motif. Although her hearts are portrayed as literal images of the organ itself, the artist stresses that the heart is &quot;more than a muscle that pumps blood through the body,&quot; but rather a conduit of the feelings and emotions that all women experience. In these works, hearts are depicted as broken to symbolize pain and loss, golden to symbolize selflessness and generosity, and a grouping of stone hearts symbolizes the collective stoicism that women must exude in any traditional, conformist society. 

In a statement from the artist:

&quot;They say a woman's heart is like an ocean, the depth of which cannot be measured, and that it carries as many secrets! In my new work I have tried to look inside a woman's heart and soul, trying to measure that depth. In most societies, girls are brought up to fulfill very specific roles. They are trained to sacrifice their happiness and needs in order to make others happy. It is this concept of self sacrifice that I have tried to portray, and the price of that sacrifice that women pay. Women are supposed to think with their hearts and not with their heads, at least that's what we are told! This is also probably why women are not taken seriously; why people hesitate to give them positions of power and importance. In my paintings I have shown the heart as more than a muscle that pumps blood through the body.&quot;

  <Description><![CDATA[Postmasters Gallery announces an exhibition of new paintings by Steve Mumford. 

This will be Mumford’s fifth exhibition at Postmasters presenting two distinct groups of paintings: large scale heroic figurative ones and grafitti based text works.

In his new paintings Mumford continues to investigate the war in Iraq, based on his experiences there and the understanding he gleaned from civilians and combatants. Sometimes from the perspective of the American soldiers, sometimes from the insurgents’ point of view, these paintings explore peoples’ motivations in war, the ties that bind as well as fracture.

Iraqi prostitutes at a Western hotel; rifts between foreign jihadis and Iraqi nationalists; tender farewells of a suicide bomber; languid afternoons of a US platoon; Koranic exhortations to jihad; the mythos and the reality of American military power: all these are facets in Mumford’s version of the hard, glittering stone of war.

Mumford has made 6 trips to Iraq between 2003 and 2008, emailing his drawings to artnet.com as a visual record of his experiences, and subsequently exhibiting them in numerous shows worldwide.

He published many of the drawings in Baghdad Journal, An Artist in Occupied Iraq, Drawn &amp; Quarterly, 2005.  A selection of his drawings is included in The Storyteller, an exhibition curated by Claire Glman and Margaret Sundell for ICI now on view at the Art Gallery of Parsons The New School for Design in New York.

  <Description><![CDATA[The artists state: &quot;Disembodied archetypes deals with the performance of the poet as a monotonous daily routine of useless acts for the purpose of creating a kind of primitive theater,or a one man theater that endlessly strives to deny death by the intensity of action.

Neither the grotesque proportions of these heads nor the idiotic manner of these performances imitate life. Rather they aim to imitate the dynamic of thought. The minds conception of reality, like a warped mirror in a circus booth, could reflect, as in these works, an irrational, absurd reality and yet a true one in that it is how the mind perceives.


It is through irrationality that the senses grasp truth and it is the role of the artist to make a true image - one which is not literal or descriptive but real. Perhaps the image of the mask best describes the theatre and the painting in that through it the unreal becomes fact and the banal divine. 
The performance of the poet is a daily act of repetitious rituals that embodies, in his work, the intensified condition of being.

In the theatre of death, the disembodied is the subject stripped from its context and thrown into an empty arena (in which the canvas or the stage function as a magnifying glass) so that he may be examined, objectified, made protagonist or condemned.

The paintings are death masks that have been intensified by painterly events and transformed into a grotesque one man theatre without an audience which is re-enforced by the performance as a collage of impressions, quotations and imitations of idiotic moments.  Both are immersed in the real through the disciplined act of quotation and gives rise to the unleashed psychic ready-mades.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[The Studio Museum in Harlem will open the fall/winter season with a major exhibition entitled 30 Seconds off an Inch. This survey will bring together contemporary artworks by a group of artists who, having absorbed the lessons of U.S.-based Conceptual art and identity politics, imbue their respective practices with a critical sense of play and irreverence adopted from Fluxus, Arte Povera, Gutai and Neoconcretism, among other international movements. 30 Seconds takes the singular practices and conceptual methods of black artists active on the West Coast in the late 1960s and early 1970s as a starting point—work that inspired a bodily engagement in conceptual practice.

Presenting approximately one hundred works by dozens of artists, the exhibition will provide an overview of a generation of artists who use a variety of media, including photography, video, large-scale sculpture, figurative painting and site-specific installations. 30 Seconds aims to show how this group of artists engages with the body and race in clever, subtle and astute ways.

  <Description><![CDATA[Humor in all of its forms, including social satire, wordplay, games and jokes, has been an underlying theme in art, throughout the 20th century. Dada's playfulness is the precursor of this thread, born as a response to the destruction wreaked on a global scale during WWI. KNOCK KNOCK explores how artists have drawn on this strategy, using humor as a hook to tackle more complex social, sexual, and political issues. The resulting historical exhibition, mounted over two venues, is superficially all farce, gaffs, puns and parody, and exposes the embedded tensions inherent in the work when the laughter dies down.

  <Description><![CDATA[In this new body of work, Belcourt continues to challenge the boundaries of landscape painting, exploring the tension between representation and abstraction. Her characteristic hedge-like forms resemble blocks or cubes, fracturing and defining space. Multiple horizon lines reveal partial views of mountains, sky and water. The picture plane and its component parts are fluid, and, like nature itself, constantly changing.

Belcourt’s paintings are filled with light. It is crisp and clear and inspired by the rural Canadian landscape that she visits each year. The large hedges that inhabit these open spaces are dense and dark green. For over ten years, Belcourt has created numerous versions of these hedges: long and sinewy, bulbous and bushy, wide and imposing.

Belcourt’s process is revealed through varying degrees of abstraction. Hedgeland Painting #13 features cube-like forms with simplified landscape views. Mountainous shapes curve and undulate. A red block of color jumps from the picture plane, and the block is mirrored in a silhouette of black line. Perspectives shift, and vistas appear both near and far. Layers of oil paint give a sensual and organic quality to the forms, suggesting a mysterious life source.

HedgeLand Painting #11 is similar in its puzzle-like assortment of mounded and cubed shapes. Opaque whites and warm creams jostle with shifting greens, yellows and blues. The geometry of planes and grids is broken by multiple waves. Space and form mirror each other, and then change. Cross-sections and split images are presented simultaneously, top to bottom, side-to-side. Belcourt’s unique combinations of color, light and space allow for another way of seeing, or sensing, what is around us.

This is Louise Belcourt’s third solo exhibition with the gallery, and her first in New York in almost four years. She lives and works in New York and Canada. ]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Although Smith's work as a painter may best be described as &quot;photorealistic,&quot; the difference between her work and that of other artists is that she not only uses select photograph as a “sketch” for future paintings, but exhibits photographs that she believes stand on their own with equal importance, in groupings along with the paintings. In this exhibition, Smith also has included a collection of photographs in a video presentation, which emphasizes her integrated versatility. 

The title of this show &quot;The Brush or the Lens&quot; represents the artist’s continuing commitment to expressing her fascination with nature through both photography and painting. Her meticulous concentration on detail in her paintings has frequently elicited the question &quot;Is that a painting or a photograph?&quot; In fact, one piece &quot;Autumn Leaves,&quot; a triptych, displays a photograph of a grouping of leaves on the forest floor, then a painting created from that original photograph, and finally, a photograph of that painting. The effect of this &quot;crossing of the boundaries&quot; leads one to marvel at the similarity of the three images. 

In her first solo exhibit at Viridian, Smith focused on what she referred to as &quot;complex microcosms found close to the earth.&quot; She described them as &quot;Naturescape&quot;. In the current exhibit, Smith has taken her love for nature one step further to demonstrate her technical precision again, this time with flowers. For example in her painting entitled &quot;Rose of Sharon&quot; she gently captures the flower's folds and shadows, as your eye takes in the finely veined, translucent petals illuminated by the sun. ]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[While many Abstract Expressionists shunned figural elements in their work, Kriesberg used them lavishly. As a result he was termed a “Figural Expressionist,” combining intense abstract colors with human and animal elements. Margalit Fox of the New York Times described Kriesberg’s work as a space where “small creatures tower and loom, dancers weave through unorthodox angles, and customarily static objects appear fluid and sinuous. All these things gave his work a sense of wit and mystery (November 11, 2209 Obituary).” Originally from Chicago, Kriesberg arrived in New York in the 1950’s. The artist came to wide attention with his inclusion in many prestigious museum shows, including the Museum of Modern Art’s show “Fifteen Artists” in 1952, where he was showcased alongside Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, and Clifford Still. He was given his first solo show in 1955, at the Curt Valentin Gallery in New York. This exhibition features Kriesberg’s works on paper, where scrawled, brightly colored pastel lines and cartoonish figures play the prominent role. In “Blasé,” fauvist dashes of viridian, cadmium orange, and rust brown outline a simian figure, who cradles his head in his hands and stares absently at the viewer. In “Lift,” vertical streaks of cobalt blue charge the image with a sense of energy, as a winged, bug-like creature takes off from an emerald green stem. A dreamlike symbolism suffuses Kriesberg's work, the meaning of each symbol and character known only to the artist.

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

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

  <Description><![CDATA[Walter Randel Gallery announces the opening of Part II of Winter Kunstkammer. The critic Edward Lucie-Smith has described the Kunstkammer as an assemblage of various art objects in a single room; despite their divergent character, these works of art, found in the studios of artists, studies of scholars and homes of collectors of discernment may be said to precede the practice of shows in formal galleries and museums of today. 

The seven contemporary artists in part II of the exhibition are as diverse as the works of art from the past with which they exhibit their oeuvres— along side works spanning a timeline of four millennia and from all over the world.  Art from European, Asian, African, Oceanic, and New World cultures are represented in this group show.  Variety and choices for the viewer and collector abound. 

Arlan Huang, painter and glass artist, was born in Bangor, Maine, in 1948 and grew up in San Francisco’s Chinatown. He graduated from Pratt Institute in Brooklyn. The paintings he presents in this show are his latest works dating from 2009.  His awards include a grant from the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts and recognition from the Department of Cultural Affairs of New York City. Huang’s current project is an ambitious commission at the Laguna Honda Hospital, in California, where thirty blown glass rondels laminated on ten frosted mirror glass panels with four large windows with blown glass forms inside glass blocks will be installed in early March.

Ernest Kafka, a New York photographer, is an enthusiastic collector of art from ancient and medieval times to the present.  His photographs of a recent voyage to Syria, Jordan and Egypt appropriately record how people live today surrounded by vestiges of the past, among the ruins of some of the oldest cradles of civilization.  The images both record the flow of time and put the viewer in the places and epochs in history when some of the works in the exhibition were created or derived their inspiration.

Bruna Stude is a photographer who first studied law in Split, Croatia. After years of working as a journalist and radio reporter, she left Croatia in 1987 to pursue a life as a crewmember at sea, where she became a photographer of the ocean and its forms; she has circumnavigated the globe several times. Since 2002, she has made her home on the island of Kauai, recording the sea’s changes and the things that live in it.  Stude’s work was recently included in two museum collections at which she exhibited: 20 Going On 21: Honoring the Past, Celebrating the Present, Looking to the Future at The Contemporary Museum Honolulu and Artists of Hawaii 2009 at The Honolulu Academy of Arts juried by Laura Hoptman, the Kraus Family Senior Curator of the New Museum of Contemporary Art, New York, NY. 

Charles Birnbaum, an artist for over 25 years, studied clay sculpture at the Kansas City Art Institute with Ken Ferguson, the noted teacher of ceramics. He then did his graduate work at the Tyler School of Art in Philadelphia. His hand-sculpted porcelain art is subtle and precise, conflating intricate organic imagery. He received a prestigious Honorable Mention in the 2008 International Ceramics Festival in Mino, Japan.

Josef Levi, who currently lives and works in Italy, studied at the University of Connecticut and Columbia University. In 1965 he had his first show in New York City. His work can be found in the Museum of Modern Art, the Albright Knox Gallery, the Aldrich Museum, and the Corcoran Gallery. Corporate collectors of his art include the Bank of New York and Exxon. Originally a painter, Levi has since 2002 been altering his “still lives” of known faces from paintings of women by old and modern masters, as well as commissioned portraits, on the computer so that there is a greater bias toward abstraction.

Mark Sengbusch was born in Ravenna, Ohio, in 1979. He received his MFA from the Cranbrook Academy of Art in Michigan. He currently lives and works in Brooklyn. The imagery in his paintings, influenced by Sengbusch’s experiences with a loom and computer games, can be described as “future artifacts”—compositions in which a rich tapestry of weaving and functional computer data are merged.

Ted Kurahara was born in Seattle, Washington, and moved to New York after graduate work done in Peoria, Illinois. An abstract painter of unusual subtlety, Kurahara has worked for many years in downtown New York. He has received grants from the Guggenheim Foundation and the National Endowment for the Arts; and has exhibited worldwide, in France, Italy, Sweden, and Switzerland.  His second solo exhibition at Walter Randel Gallery this past fall of 2009 met with great critical acclaim and a review of the show by Jonathan Goodman is available on artcritical.com.

  <Description><![CDATA[Brooklyn is changing… again. Some call it a renaissance. Others are too busy with the rent hikes to call it anything. We're in the thick of it here at Eastern District so we deemed it &quot;necessary&quot; to address such pressing issues with a &quot;critical&quot; art show. Eastern District Gallery proudly presents: “East Williamsburg”, because defining reality is sometimes harder than choosing a color for your fixie.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[The New-York Historical Society holds one of the nation's premiere collections of eighteenth-century American portraits. During this formative century a small group of native-born painters and European émigrés created images that represent a broad swath of elite colonial New York society-- landowners and tradesmen, and later Revolutionaries and Loyalists-- while reflecting the area's Dutch roots and its strong ties with England.

  <Description><![CDATA[The two artists in this exhibition, Reena Kallat and Sara Rahbar, live on different continents, Asia and North America, or sometimes on the same one, namely Asia (India and Iran), from where their observations about the nature of power as it effects belonging informs their individual practices.

Their work speaks about concerns and caution, in a time when power re-infects those already weakened by how it has been nurtured in a post-global society, of absolutes that have made our world spiral into an existential meltdown with the gradual erosion of rights and mobility; - a set of conditions that is leading to an increment in the condition of subalternity. 2 This subaltern status, that results from the rise of neo-liberalist cosmopolitanism and a hegemonic globalization, has disturbed fragile states and complicates economic relationships along gender, tribal, ethnic and racial lines.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[The art of the book in medieval India is closely associated with the Jain religious community, and illustrated palm-leaf manuscripts survive from around the tenth century, while those on paper appear after the twelfth, when paper was introduced from Iran. The use of paper permitted larger compositions and a greater variety of decorative devices and borders. Significantly, however, the format of the palm-leaf manuscript was retained. By the end of the fourteenth century, deluxe manuscripts were produced on paper, brilliantly adorned with gold, silver, crimson, and a rich ultramarine derived from imported lapis lazuli. The patrons of the works were mainly Svetambara Jains, who considered the commissioning of illustrated books and their donation to Jain temple libraries to be an important merit-making activity. A selection of these exquisite manuscripts will be on view, along with bronzes sculptures of Jinas and a ceremonial painted textile.

  <Description><![CDATA[As prime subjects, Time and Space have preoccupied James Rosenquist since he turned contemporary culture on its head in the early 1960s with paintings that splintered ideas as well as images.
Married to his penetration of cosmic mysteries is a hands-on skill not only with paint on canvas but also with low-tech mechanics. For over four decades he has integrated moving parts as diverse as conveyer belts and laser clocks into his canvases.
These preoccupations and skills combine in two powerfully innovative themes that constitute his exhibition of new work at Acquavella Galleries.
The Hole in the Middle of Time is a series of seven works manifesting clock face images, the three largest of which incorporate motorized spinning mirrors.
The Hole in the Wallpaper is a series of fourteen motorized images each reprising a smaller version of an earlier painting by the artist. In the center of every work is a circular mirror. While the paintings spin, the mirrors remain static and reflect the viewer.

This small and consistent size allows the gallery to show the works of a large and diverse group of artists every month.  
It also allows collectors the opportunity to curate their own selection of artwork at an identical size that will look great when hung together.]]></Description>
