Collage:Collage. October 30 - December 14, 2009 curated by Jackie Klempay Please join us for the opening reception! Friday, October 30th, 7-9 PM (Press Preview 6-7) Featuring: Agathe de Bailliencourt, Sandra Eula Lee, Shanna Moulton, Margit Raczkowski, Dylan Spaysky, Jennifer Sullivan, Michael Krumenacker, Melinda Yale and Carlo Vialu. Collage: Collage showcases nine contemporary artists who freely borrow, then deviate from art history to use collage as a tool for their own ends. Bringing together a diverse array of media including video, sculpture, installation and performance, Jackie Klempay has created a curatorial collage in the gallery. Displayed together, the works in this show build layers of meaning onto one another, as each work responds to another artist's use of the medium today. She writes: "Historically, artists have been drawn to collage in times of turbulence as a way to make sense of, and to lighten the severity of surrounding chaos." The bright colors, ...

September 30-November 29, 2009 For over two decades, Steve Wolfe (b. 1955) has created objects and drawings of astounding craft and visual presence that investigate the intersections among material culture, intellectual history, and personal and collective memory. Working in the tradition of trompe l’oeil, his pieces often quite literally fool the eye on first inspection: tattered books, worn album covers, and vinyl records appear pristine but these are objects made from modeling paste, screenprints, drawings, and many other media, and they reproduce not just the thing but the individuality an object takes on as it is consumed by one or more individuals. Wolfe's objects are, in real life, ones that must be used and physically manipulated in some detailed way—books have every page turned, records every groove worn. The patina of time is thus inevitable and necessary, and leaves a record of the object’s meaning as it passes from the user's hand to mind. In essence, this is the su...

After-School Course Behind the Scenes: Georgia O'Keeffe WHAT: The Whitney is excited to announce an after-school course that focuses on the exhibition Georgia O'Keeffe: Abstraction. Participants will engage in an in-depth exploration of O'Keeffe's paintings, drawings, and more. Inspired by their experience with O'Keeffe's artwork, kids and adults will experiment with painting and drawing techniques, and consider abstraction in their own artworks. WHO: This course is designed for one child (between 6 and 10) and one parent, grandparent, or guardian. We believe that young children can achieve a deeper learning experience when family members are involved and, as such, this program requires that each child be accompanied in class by a parent, grandparent, or guardian. Adult and child will be looking, discussing, creating, and exploring art together. No caregivers will be allowed to accompany children for this course. WHEN: The course will take place after school, fr...

When I began this work over 6 months ago, it would be the 4th Adam and Eve that I have done to date. Each time it seems that I have peered through another perspective. The painting provokes the images and symbols of the Biblical tale, and of Darwin's Evolutionary Theory , but was done with a questioning spiritual synopsis, to ponder the relationship between man and woman. In the biblical story the lack of control or limits of egocentricity have run rampant with the female, as she defies God's command. Eve has been visited with accidents and calamity, with snake and red ant bites, plaster casts, her vanity eaten away and with a growing old of the flesh, ( maggots falling from her rotting toes). Her fingers have been broken off trying to climb out of the whole she dug for herself and the human race by disobedience to God, eating of the forbidden fruit. Adam has been corrupted by Eve by eating of the fruit, thus the two bites from the apple. Insects surround them, but...

October 19, 1960: Senator John F. Kennedy, Democratic Presidential Nominee . A parade to honor a person or persons, held in New York City, during which people in the tall buildings of Manhattan throw large quantities of paper, confetti, paper ribbons, or the like onto the parading group. The name comes form the ticker tape originally thrown onto the parade when it passed stockbrokers' offices in lower Manhattan, before stock tickers became obsolete; in subsequent years other types of waste paper were used to serve the honorary function, as well as paper tape distributed specifically for the purpose of being thrown in such a parade. http://www.downtownny.com/?sid=20

Marcel Duchamp: The Art of Chess” is the first exhibition devoted to exploring the influence of Duchamp’s activities as a chess player on his artistic production. It debuted at the St. Louis University Museum of Art (May 6 – August 16, 2009), and the present gallery exhibition is an expanded version of that show. It will open at Francis M. Naumann Fine Art on September 10, 2009 (and run through October 31, 2009). The exhibition features the magnificent early cubist drawing Study for Portrait of Chess Players (1911), which renders Duchamp’s two brothers—Raymond Duchamp-Villon and Jacques Villon—intently engaged in a game of chess; a large central “X” in the center of the composition represents the precise point where their minds meet, a cerebral focus common to much of Duchamp’s subsequent production. Among the highlights of the show will be an example of the readymade Trébuchet (1917/64), the coat rack that visitors to Duchamp’s studio were expected to trip over (the chess equivalent ...

Ed Ruscha, "Large Trademark with Eight Spots" (1962) LONDON— The first retrospective to focus exclusively on the iconic canvases of the 72-year-old Los Angeles-based artist, "Ed Ruscha: Fifty Years of Painting," on view at London’s Hayward Gallery from October 14 through January 10, sheds light on his influences, from comics to graphic design to hitchhiking. Reached at his L.A. studio, the multitalented Ruscha, who has made everything from artist’s books and drawings to films and photographs, says that, yes, he does consider himself primarily a painter, but he quickly adds, "A painter can be anybody who wants to do anything. I’m not a traditionalist." In the photo gallery at left, he relates what motivated some of the works in the show, which travels next year to the Haus der Kunst, in Munich, and the Moderna Museet, in Stockholm. "In Retrospect: Ed Ruscha" originally appeared in the October 2009 issue of Art+Auction. For a complete list of arti...

Nick Brandt, Elephant Drinking, Amboseli, 2007 Availability is subject to change without notice. relating to the Exhibit on view NOW @ STALEY-WISE (http://www.staleywise.com/current_exhibition.html) SELECTED REVIEWS & QUOTES FOR "ON THIS EARTH" “African wildlife has never looked so regal and mysterious as in Brandt’s grave photographs. His elephants appear as weighty as the pyramids. His rhinos look more ancient than carbon. His apes know something we don’t. Given the multitude of human disasters in Africa, is it an indulgence to lose yourself in pictures that carry no hint of the wars and famines outside the frame? Not when the pictures are such powerful reminders that Africa is also a magnificent—and endangered—treasure house of animal life.” - Time Magazine (Time Top Five Photographic Books of 2005) “Nick Brandt's images of the animals of Eastern Africa take one's breath away. These powerful glimpses of another world are so intimate one might hear the rustl...

En esta entrevista de la Fox news el Dr Holtorf, experto en enfermedades infecciosas declaro que ni sus hijos ni el se pondrian la vacuna del swine flu, ni ninguna vacuna del flu porque los riesgos son mas altos que los beneficios. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJoCDqVXgRI This year it is more important that you protect your children and loved ones from the flu vaccines than influenza itself. This article on Lew Rockwell discusses how: 1. The swine flu is simply another flu. It is not unusually deadly. 2. This is the first time both seasonal and pandemic flu vaccines will be administered. Both seasonal flu and swine flu vaccines will require two inoculations. This is because single inoculations have failed to produce sufficient antibodies. This is an admission that prior flu vaccines were virtually useless. Can you trust them this time? 3. Adjuvants are added to vaccines to boost production of antibodies but may trigger autoimmune reactions. Some adjuvants are mercury (thimerosal), a...
