Collins, the current director of the Neuberger Museum of Art in Purchase, New York, fills the vacancy left when MAM director Terry Riley announced late last year that he would resign amid speculation that the museum was having difficulty raising money for its planned $220-million new building. For Collins, who is in his 40s, the move represents the latest step in a rapid ascent in the museum world. After serving as a curatorial fellow at the Museum of Modern Art — where Riley had worked as architecture curator prior to MAM — he was appointed chief curator at Cincinnati...

JAMES HYDE Stuart Davis Group at The Boiler 28 May–27 June, 2010 Click here for installation viewsIn 1928, after listening to a Louis Armstrong recording, Stuart Davis later recalled that “Earl Hines' piano playing has served me as proof that art can exist.” A like-minded improviser and compositionalist, Davis himself could have been considered a maker of jazz, which was in his own words, “an abstract art of real order.” check out the website to read more............. http://www.pierogi2000.com/flatfile/hydejimboiler2010.html

Stephen Vitiello A Bell for Every Minute Stephen Vitiello’'s new multi-channel sound installation A Bell For Every Minute is a site-specific work commissioned for the High Line. The piece will fill the 14th Street Passage, a semi-enclosed tunnel between West 13th and West 14th Streets, with sound recordings of bells taken from all over New York City and beyond. Sounds range from the iconic rings of the New York Stock Exchange bell, the historic Dreamland bell days after it was discovered in the water off Coney Island, the United Nation’s Peace Bell, and more everyday and personal sounds of bike bells, diner bells, and neighborhood church bells. Bells are used in our culture to mark the passing of time, act as warnings and alerts, mark celebrations, and memorialize those lost. While there are numerous conditions under which bells are heard in our city, they are universal sounds that all of us can appreciate as part of the auditory landscape of our lives. During park hours an ind...

May 21–June 20, 2010 A key figure of postwar abstract painting, Kenneth Noland explored the essential qualities of color and surface throughout a career that spanned six decades. Noland was born on April 10, 1924, in Asheville, North Carolina. He attended the nearby Black Mountain College on the GI Bill from 1946 to 1948 before leaving for Paris, where he studied with the sculptor Ossip Zadkine and was introduced to the work of Henri Matisse. During his studies at Black Mountain in the late 1940s, and again in the summer of 1950, Noland was affected by the teachings of former Bauhaus master Josef Albers, who was the driving force at the school and who had brought with him from Germany an encyclopedic knowledge of twentieth-century European art. However, Noland’s commitment to pure abstraction derived primarily from his studies with painter Ilya Bolotowsky. Around this time, Noland also met critic Clement Greenberg, sculptor David Smith, and painters Helen Frankenthaler and Morris...

Louis Vuitton Launches Young Artists InitiativeBy ARTINFO Published: May 12, 2010 © Patrick McMullan Photography Tracey Emin LONDON— After collaborating over the years with established artists like the late Stephen Sprouse and Takahashi Murakami — with whom they created a pop-up handbag store at the Brooklyn Museum — French fashion house Louis Vuitton has apparently decided to create a farm team of up-and-coming talent. The fashion house has launched a Young Arts Project, an initiative that will give promising emerging artists access to an immersive three-year program of workshops and tours at Tate Britain, the Royal Academy of Arts, South London Gallery, Whitechapel Gallery, and the Hayward Gallery. The South London Gallery will oversee the project, working in concert with the four other institutions and artists Chris Ofili and Charlie Dark, who helped conceive the program. British art-world heavyweights like Tracey Emin, Gary Hume, Michael Landy, and Keith Tyson will also provid...

California Dreamin’...By Phyllis Tuchman June 9, 2010 12:33 a.m. The embryonic counterculture of the late 1950s and early 1960s gets short shrift in art history textbooks, which usually leap from Abstract Expressionism to Pop and Minimalism with barely a nod to the radical, imaginative innovators in between. Two solo shows at major Chelsea galleries right now fill in the blanks. At first glance, Mark di Suvero's soaring, 24-foot-high sculpture Nova Albion and Edward Kienholz's intricate, trailer-size Roxy's couldn't seem more dissimilar. But both Mr. di Suvero and Kienholz were Californians in their early 30s when they created the masterworks in these solo shows, both used scavenged and recycled materials-and both here mostly display the ingenuity and inventiveness that are hallmarks of the finest American sculptors. Kienholz made art about sex in the backseat of jalopies, about state mental hospitals, about bordellos. In 1965, Mr. di Suvero worked on the beach ...

http://www.backstage.com/bso/reviews-ny-theatre-off-off-broadway/paris-syndrome-1004096013.story Paris Syndrome /Ex.Pgirl at Here Arts Center /Reviewed by Lisa Jo Sagolla /June 07, 2010 ,...."Paris Syndrome" can be an enjoyable affair. An 80-minute multimedia dance-theater exploration of French culture as viewed through the eyes of young Japanese women, the show suffers from a ludicrous theme, which some might find offensive. While "Paris Syndrome" allows for ravishing visual effects, comic parodies of historical characters, and savvy pop-culture references, the show's driving concept is derived from the idea that when some female Japanese 30-somethings visit Paris, the culture shock is so great that they become delusional, afflicted with a psychiatric condition called "Paris syndrome." The "devastating" experiences that shatter these women's romantic notions of France ............. .............directed by Emma Griffin, the perform...

L'artiste trouve sa place dans le paysage artistique américain dès les années 60, se démarquant du courant dominant d'alors, l'expressionnisme abstrait. Décédé en 1996 et peu exposé en France, Duane Hanson s'avère encore d'une grande actualité, tant son regard critique sur la société américaine des années 70-90 peut faire écho aux désarrois que beaucoup c...

Louise Bourgeois, 1911 – 2010 (Dimitri Yeros 2007) With deep sadness, we join the Bourgeois family, Jerry Gorovoy and Wendy Williams in mourning the passing of Louise Bourgeois on 31 May. Louise Bourgeois’s subject was always her life and experiences. ‘Art’, she once said, ‘is the experiencing – or rather the re-experiencing – of a trauma’. Through her innovative approach to media and her feminist stance she created a body of work whose distinctive and sensual treatment of forms has proved a major influence to younger generations of artists. She is remembered with great admiration and fondness and will be deeply missed by all who knew her and her art. A solo exhibition of Bourgeois's work is currently on view at the Museum of Cycladic Art, Athens until 12 September, as well as 'Louise Bourgeois/Hans Bellmer – Double Sexus' at Sammlung Scharf-Gerstenberg, Berlin until 15 August. A major exhibition of Bourgeois's fabric drawings and large-scale sculptures will be on v...
