SEPT 22 | The Museum of Chinese in America After being cramped in a 2,000-square-foot space in New York's Chinatown for the past 30 years, MoCA is moving into a spacious new 14,000-square-foot property designed by Maya Lin, the mastermind behind Washington D.C.'s Vietnam Veterans Memorial. Supported by the likes of director Ang Lee, playwright David Henry Hwang and architect I.M. Pei, the $8.1 million project hopes to establish itself as a cultural center that documents the history of Chinese immigrants in the United States.

Harlem in Montmartre 12 août 2009 Auteur(e) : Morgane Guirriec Diffusé sur la chaîne Thirteen le 26 août prochain, le documentaire « Harlem in Montmartre » raconte comment le Jazz s’est emparé de la capitale française. James Reese Europe, Josephine Baker, Sidney Bechet, Bricktop, Eugene Bullard, Django Reinhardt… tous ces grands noms du Jazz se retrouvés dans le Paris de l’entre deux guerres. Tout a commencé avec l’arrivée de soldats noirs américains en France. Venus soutenir leurs alliés européens dans l’effort de guerre, nombreux sont ceux qui décident de rester en France. En proie à l’injustice de la ségrégation dans pays leur d’origine, ils échappent ainsi à la brutalité des lois racistes américaines. Ils s’installent à Montmartre. « Les Français ont été les premiers à respecter le jazz », explique Charles Hobson, producteur de Vanguard Documentaries. En effet, le charme opère dès que les premières notes de Jazz se font entendre dans le quartier …Cette nouvelle musique envoûte p...

Written by Ivan Stromer Saturday, 15 August 2009 03:18 LONDON.- Beaux Arts presents an exhibition of artist David Spiller’s new work. A product of London’s 1960s’ art school scene, Spiller’s colourful re-invention of the American Pop aesthetic is grounded in an instinctual use of colour and a keen eye and ear for the lyrical phrases and comic book ephemera of popular culture. Soulful, honest, emotive and bold, David Spiller’s paintings demonstrate a powerful sense of the connection between art, music, text, colour and memory. His canvases use fragments of lyrics to appeal to each viewer’s personal history and spell out a new poetry of Pop. Never sentimental but full of sentiment, his work is both uplifting and profoundly engaging through its quotation of love songs and plain avowal of fun. Sometimes a single work will contain lyrics from disparate groups and musicians such as U2, Jerry Lee Lewis, The Beatles and Bob Dylan. Occasionally he simply quotes a song his mother sang. Sp...

de la part de MICHEL GERARD Les mots sur les œuvres, les mots dans les œuvres On ne « voit » pas sans les mots. Les mots accompagnent toujours les images des œuvres dans l’histoire de l’art. On peut dire qu’il n’y a pas d’art sans les mots. Ils commentent chaque œuvre dans les musées : on peut se procurer un audio-guide. Au premier contact, on lit le nom de l’auteur, le titre et la date, ainsi l’œuvre s’inscrit dans une histoire (celle de l’art et l’Histoire). De quelques mots surgit un long texte de mémoire. Un titre peut faire l’histoire. Ainsi le tableau de Monet « Impression, soleil levant » fera le mot impressionnisme avec la dimension symbolique « soleil levant ». Conscients du sens que produisent les mots des artistes ont écrit le titre de l’œuvre sur celle-ci : au-dessus ou au-dessous de la peinture ( par exemple Paul Klee). Plus radicalement des textes, qui ne sont pas des titres, écrits par les artistes dans leurs œuvres donnent un second sens a ces œuvres en les replacant m...

OPENING September 13th BRITISH SUBJECTS: IDENTITY AND SELF-FASHIONING 1967-2009 September 13, 2009 - December 13, 2009 The past 40 years have seen changes both in what it means to be British and in conceptions of selfhood and self-portraiture.

September 11 - October 31, 2009 Opening Reception on Friday September 11th from 6:30 to 8pm http://www.pelhamartcenter.org/in_the_gallery/detail.cfm?id=42&whi=Upcoming Two exhibitions of abstract painting. A group show of three artists - Brad Fesmire, Lauren Portada and Josh Willis - are inspired by landscape. In the solo exhibition, Elizabeth Goldman's abstract artworks are a hybrid of drawing and painting. SQUARED OFF: WORKS ON PAPER BY ELIZABETH GOLDMAN is a solo exhibition of abstract artworks that are a hybrid of painting and drawing. It is also the first exhibit to take place in the Art Center's renovated gallery. Paintings/drawings of geometric shapes and lines, composed of layers of charcoal, graphite, acrylic and oil, allude to the gestural surface marks and materials of Abstract Expressionism and the analytical strategies of Minimalism and Process Art. By working in layers, Ms. Goldman allows the work to evolve, creating an almost invisible history with marks and...

NEW YORK, NY.- On October 22, 2009, Sotheby’s will offer for sale Leopold Carl Müller’s rediscovered depiction of A Street Scene, Cairo. The picture will be included in Sotheby’s sale of 19th Century European Art Including Orientalist Paintings, Drawings and Sculptures and is estimated at $600/800,000. The work boasts a spectacular provenance – it was purchased the year it was executed by William Henry Vanderbilt and descended in his family until its sale at Sotheby’s predecessor Parke-Bernet in 1945. Recently discovered in a private collection, its sale this fall represents an opportunity for collectors to compete for a superb work of Orientalist art with an illustrious provenance.

Written by Anthony Stephen Beal Saturday, 29 August 2009 01:59 ACAPULCO.- Mexican authorities are analyzing the purchase of a house with a view to the sea in Acapulco, which is owned by the heirs of collector Dolores Olmedo. The house has walls where Diego Rivera painted five murals. "It is a house located in an extraordinary place in Acapulco, with marvelous murals, by Diego Rivera, which have been restored by experts from the Restoration Center at the Museum of Fine Arts", Fernando Serrano Migallón from CONACULTA said to news agency EFE. Serrano Migallón considers that the house has a “notable artistic value” due to the murals and the artistic activity that developed there before Diego Rivera died. Serrano considers that it is viable to buy the house and convert it into a cultural center, with didactic activities, entertainment, and concerts. "To start talking seriously with the owners of the house, three factors have to coincide: the city of Acapulco, the State ...
