Get your Guide in Metro The 2009 OHNY Weekend event guide will be available as an insert in Metro New York on Friday, October 2 and Monday, October 5. Full program listings will be available on ohny.org at 10 pm on Thursday, October 1. Sites and programs that require advance reservations will start at 9 am on Friday, October 2.

This is a question often asked: Do I need to join LMNY to join the group from time to time? And the answer is:NO 1-, if you just arrived, you may come a first time, to see how it goes and if this suits you. 2-, the planning is published on this blog and on the website (but not updated) 3-, you can always call me and ask if you can join us. 4-, You pay each time an additional $10 If so, why join? (because I can see some of you wondering why pay the first year $150 and for the following 3 years a discounted membership. (After you become a special "emeritus Member" and you do not pay the annual fees!..Already 4 LMNY Members are Emeritus!) If you join, 1-you will be reminded of the program and by "saving" 1 or 2 dates per month, you will end up by going to New York more and more often. 2-You are informed first and giving a certain priority for booking. This year, I will program more Galleries Walks and the maximum size I would like to keep is no more than 10. 3-Non mem

Wednesday Sept. 30, 6:30 pm in the 14th Street Passage Artist Spencer Finch will be giving a lecture on his High Line installation, The River That Flows Both Ways, and other works. Photo by David B. Smith Thursday Oct. 1, 4 to 8 pm in the 14th St. Passage Artists Lisa Sigal and Paul Ramirez Jonas will once again bring their collaborative art project Specials to the High Line. They have fashioned a mobile cart into a roving art gallery/food service station which they use to display artwork and serve homemade tacos. Each time Specials is performed, it is different. This week, they show a selection of artists who were in the 1993 Whitney Biennial, including Kiki Smith, Glenn Ligon and Fred Wilson, and serve a spicy pumpkin taco. Rumor has it there may be art world luminaries on hand as guest taco servers! Hope to see you there! Check the "official" website: http://www.thehighline.org/

"In art, “realism” in its broadest sense means a believable depiction of the world. It can also refer to the portrayal of the unidealized—real people and everyday life. American artists who worked in a realist, or more broadly, a representational mode often explored the nation and its inherent cultural, social, and economic realities. While those artists working in a figurative tradition might seem less avant-garde than those working with abstraction, their interest in “low” or ordinary subject matter and rejection of conventional beauty was progressive in its own right. Their engagement with the idea of “the real” did not always lead to a faithful transcription of reality. This is especially true in Edward Hopper’s work, which is often closer to surrealism than common experience. Like a number of American artists, Hopper created subtle shifts in observable reality for expressive ends even as he kept his eye grounded in what he saw everyday."

NEW YORK, NY.- UBS has decided to close The UBS Art Gallery located at 1285 Avenue of the Americas in New York. The Gallery will close after the current exhibition, Jack Tworkov: Against Extremes – Five Decades of Painting, finishes its run on October 27, 2009. This decision follows recently announced cost-cutting measures, including headcount reductions, organizational realignments, savings initiatives and change programs. The UBS Art Collection remains unaffected by the decision to close the Gallery they say. The UBS Art Gallery was started as a resource for regional non-profit institutions, providing them with a midtown Manhattan exhibition space. The Gallery has collaborated with museums throughout the Northeast on a wide variety of exhibitions, from painting, sculpture and photography to quilts, ceramics and furniture. “A large part of The UBS Art Gallery’s success is due to its director, Colin Thomson, who I’d like to thank for his curatorial expertise, dedication, and initiative

Philadelphia Museum of Art ‘Red & Orange Streak,’ 1919 by Georgia O'Keeffe, Oil on canvas, 27 x 23 in. Thank you Sharon, for letting us know about this article published in the Wall Street Journal A Georgia O'Keeffe Retrospective Painting a New Picture of Georgia O'Keeffe :An exhibit of little-known abstracts attempts to recast the artist's legacy By CANDACE JACKSON SEPTEMBER 3, 2009, 8:56 P.M. ET Georgia O'Keeffe's paintings of weathered ram skulls, calico roses and adobe buildings are some of the world's most recognizable works of art, but critics have often dismissed her work as commercial, crowd-pleasing fare. This fall, a new exhibit will attempt to redefine that legacy. The expansive retrospective, which opens at New York's Whitney Museum of American Art on Sept. 17, will focus on O'Keeffe's lesser-known abstract works. The show will eventually travel to the Phillips Collection in Washington and the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum in Sa

“In-Eyes,” is an exhibition of portraits and poetry by Juliette Binoche at the Cultural Services of the French Embassy. Including 58 ink washes on paper, In-Eyes is her first-ever art show on American soil and offers a unique opportunity to discover a new facet of this multi-talented French artist. It opened on September 9th, 2009 at the Cultural Services of the French Embassy in New York. Ever since receiving a commission from the Cahiers du Cinéma for a series of portraits in July 2007, Ms. Binoche has not stopped painting during her movie shoots. But she has been painting for far longer, and first showed her work publicly in the 1990s (in 1991 her art work was featured in the movie The Lovers on the Bridge, in which she starred as a painter, and in 1993 she exhibited a series of work done in collaboration with French designer/artist Christian Fenouillat). Favoring portraits, Ms. Binoche has not only depicted many of the famous directors with whom she has worked but also characters s

Alice Neel’: Portrait of the Artist as a Grandmother Andrew Neel, the 28-year-old grandson of the seminal painter Alice Neel, has created a compelling, prismatic portrait of the artist, who rose to fame during the seventies. Documenting facets of her life and work — from her bravura portrait painting to the sometimes painful consequences of her bohemian lifestyle — the director pieces together archival footage and intimate interviews with family members, including his father, Hartley, and his uncle Richard, along with comments from art historians and fellow painters. Alice Neel, which runs at Cinema Village through May 17, traces the trials, tribulations, and triumphs of this idiosyncratic and indomitable artist, avoiding sentimentality while touching on some poignant family history. We spoke with Andrew Neel. Was it a conscious choice for you to remain behind the camera? Yes, very much so. I felt it was more interesting if I were not embodied literally in the movie, because I have thi

BRUSSELS.- The Scottish enlightenment scientist Lord Kelvin asked the question about how space could be most efficiently bounded by an enclosing geometry the answer being found in those most elusive and fugitive of things: bubbles and foams which forms nesting cell structure of polyhedra. Bubbles form an intriguing geometry with tetrahedral nodes with elements combining at angles slightly less than 120 degrees. The breakthrough work: Aperture gives it’s name to and is the key to this Antony Gormley exhibition. It has an extraordinary relationship with a room, seeming a gap in space filled with the behavioural geometry of the bubble matrix. The outer edges of this form dynamically grasp the air. In the last 3 years Gormley has been experimenting with cell aggregates of nesting polyhedra in both solid and space-frame forms turning the space of the body into an open framework of tetrahedral, cubic, dodecahedral and more complex polygons which, in his words, ‘achieved a breakthrough when r

1970 Andy Warhol Oil on Canvas Whitney Museum of American Art, New York. Gift of Timothy Collins http://www.aliceneel.com/gallery/?mode=display&decade=7&painting=55 Alice Neel was one of the great American painters of the twentieth century. She was also a pioneer among women artists. A painter of people, landscape and still life, Neel was never fashionable or in step with avant-garde movements. Sympathetic to the expressionist spirit of northern Europe and Scandinavia and to the darker arts of Spanish painting, she painted in a style and with an approach distinctively her own. Neel was born near Philadelphia in 1900 and trained at the Philadelphia School of Design for Women. She became a painter with a strong social conscience and equally strong left-wing beliefs. In the 1930s she lived in Greenwich Village, New York and enrolled as a member of the Works Progress Administration for which she painted urban scenes. Her portraits of the 1930s embraced left wing writers, artists an
