Opening NEW Museum in NY..Sat dec 1st

Le New Museum fait peau neuve NEW YORK - Il ouvre le 1er décembre dans un immeuble conçu par l’agence japonaise Sanaa - celle qui est en charge du Louvre Lens - ressemblant à un empilement de boîtes blanches. Ces six boîtes cachent huit étages où la lumière est dispensée généreusement, et une surface de 5000 m2, abritant des galeries d’exposition et un théâtre de 182 places. Le New Museum, qui se veut un « incubateur » de l’art contemporain, n’est en réalité pas si neuf que ça puisque cette inauguration coïncide avec son 30e anniversaire. Sa fondatrice, Marcia Tucker, qui ava it associé son nom à des rétrospectives précoces sur John Baldessari, Keith Haring ou Tony Oursler, est décédée l’an dernier et n’aura donc pas eu le temps de connaître cette nouvelle adresse, dans le bas de Manhattan. La première exposition, sous le titre « Unmonumental », s’attache à une discipline peu en vogue, la sculpture, en présentant le travail de 30 artistes du monde entier, dont Jim Lambie ou Sarah Lucas...

Opening of "Don't call it Street Art"

Image
Opening Reception Saturday, Dec. 15, 2007, 3-8 pm Studio/Gallery 173 173-171 Canal Street, #5 floor Please take a moment to check the following infos sent by Pascale Py about an event taking place Saturday December 15ht in New York . .More infos if you click on the title,.... DON’T CALL IT STREET ART! is curated by French pop artist Thibault Sandret (www.glamtrashpop.com). The exhibition brings together mixed-media artists who transpose street-art practices on canvases, graphic designers whose visual codes derive from urban productions and, last but not least, photographers who capture the ephemeral beauty of this art form. All the featured artists share a desire to harvest the rich energy of the street, to excavate its spirit and to highlight the inherent beauty of decay. Virginie Sommet, a French conceptual artist who has been active in the New York art scene for more than ten years, hosts the show in her Studio/Gallery 173 on Canal Street..............

Expo en France de Myraim Delahoux

Image
Dès aujourd'hui et pour 10 jours Myriam Delahoux expose à Croissy avec Mil-Arti's, Groupe d'artistes Peintures, Sculptures, Photographies, Écritures et Design, Mil-Arti's est un groupe aux démarches variées. A la Chapelle St Léonard sur le thème de la récupération. Quinze artistes ont travaillé avec des objets qu'ils ont pu trouver et qui les ont émus. Ces petits riens que d'autres jettent, l'artiste leur donnent une nouvelle vie. Rencontres insolites, oeuvres originales qui resteront comme faisant partie intégrante de notre époque. Exemples: un bois flotté fait naître un oiseau. Un paravent de style reçoit une peinture moderne. Une planche à laver devient un visage d'indien. Au Château Chanorier, (en face) des petites oeuvres libres sur un format carré Chaque artiste a créé, pour l'événement, des oeuvres de 30cm par 30cm encadrées (peintures, photos, collages,) dont le prix est fixé à 180 euros pièce (1 200F). Exposition Du vendredi 16 au lundi...

New @ Bowling Green Park

November 16: Seth Weiner installs myOpticon at Bowling Green Park myOpticon, a thermal imaging system in the guise of coin-operated binoculars developed by Eyebeam Summer resident Seth Weiner, has been installed in Lower Manhattan’s Bowling Green Park and is now directed toward the United States Custom House. myOpticon constructs an image consisting only of the infrared radiation emitted by all objects as a function of surface temperature. The viewing device sees just as well in pitch darkness and fog as in broad daylight, rendering camouflage and the cover of night obsolete. In addition to constructing a thermal image, myOpticon provides surface temperature readings of any surface placed in its crosshairs. myOpticon is open to the public through the end of the year. An informal reception will gather at dusk on November 16, 2007. Exhibited as part of NYC Park’s exhibition: Art in the Parks: Celebrating 40 Years of Art, myOpticon was made possible in part by a grant from Lower Manhattan...
