The Harlem Fine Arts Show is a fine art exposition showcasing contemporary works created by artists to reflect African- American ancestry. The show consists of premier exhibitors who display the best art pieces by both emerging and established artists. The rewards of the Harlem Fine Arts Show are outstanding. The Show’s unique ability to reach a targeted upscale African-American demographic is incomparable. This very special Art Show develops the long-neglected area of African-American culture, history and economic structure. The Show’s artists have found that this show brings together a huge audience of knowledgeable and interested African-Americans who also have the wherewithal to purchase this body of original art. This merging of art and buyers have proven to be a strong platform for influencing trends in a pleasant cultural and social atmosphere. It is precisely this atmosphere that corporations can use to leverage consumers who see supporters of the Show as being supporters...

January 13, 2011, 1:05 PM An Art Fair in Brooklyn By CAROL VOGEL Verge, the folks who organize satellite fairs for emerging artists in places like Miami Beach, are starting what they say is the first-ever Brooklyn art fair. Called Art Brooklyn, it will be timed to coincide with the Armory Show and will take place in multiple locations throughout the DUMBO neighborhood March 3-6. The aim of the fair is to promote Brooklyn as a cultural hub that will attract artists and collectors from around the world. As a way of luring young artists and galleries, prices for space at the fair are particularly cheap. A 200-square-foot exhibition space, for example, will only cost $1,950, and artists’ project spaces are inexpensive too, costing those who are accepted a fee of $500 for 100 square feet of space at 111 Front Street. There will also be a juried exhibition, and there is an open call for artists practicing in every medium. (And Verge is not limiting it to just Brooklyn artists.) Finalists sel...

Lectures, Panels, and Dialogues ARTIST TALK: THE GUERRILLA GIRLS | 6:30 pm A member of the Guerrilla Girls takes the audience through how the group came up with some of their many posters, books (The Guerrilla Girls Bedside Companion to the History of Western Art; Bitches, Bimbos and Ballbreakers: The Guerrilla Girls' Guide to Female Stereotypes) and actions about discrimination in art, film, and politics. She will also perform skits with the audience, and speak about how the group invaded the Oscars with billboard and sticker campaigns on discrimination in Hollywood. And she'll tell all about their 17-foot posters in the 2005 Venice Biennale, Istanbul, Athens and Mexico City. Presented in conjunction with the exhibition The Deconstructive Impulse: Women Artists Reconfigure the Signs of Power, 1973-1991. The Girls are quippy as well as lippy. They are the Fun-Guard of feminism. —Ginny Dougary, The Times (London) information: http://www.neu...

Bertelsmann Building, originally known as 1540 Broadway,[3] is a 42-story, 733 foot (223 m) office tower in Times Square in Manhattan, New York City, standing at West 45th Street.[1] The building is the North American headquarters of Bertelsmann.[1][2] Started in 1989 and finished in 1990, the tower is one of the few in Times Square to contain class A office space.[2][1] Also found in the tower is Planet Hollywood's first Official All Star Café.[2][1] In the 1990s the Bertelsmann subsidiary of Random House looked to build a skyscraper across 45th Street from its parent and be connected to it via a neon-lighted bridge across 45th Street connecting them.[4] When the deal fell through it built the Random House Tower 10 blocks uptown.

They are waiting for the signal of the street sign to change so they can cross. Do they look like people you know? They might. They are cast from real people. Notice their clothing, hair and shoes. Even the buttons and wrinkles are there. They look real but they are all white. Look at the street sign. The electric lights flash red and green. Have you seen a street sign like this? The sign is not a casting. It is real. http://www.thefreelibrary.com/George+Segal's+Walk,+Don't+Walk.-a011334156

Minimalism had literally knocked sculpture off its pedestal . Artists such as Andre, Donald Judd, and Dan Flavin challenged the traditional conventions of sculpture: representation, illusionism, craftsmanship, permanence, and even the object itself. Minimalism presented a new set of formal strategies: the grid, seriality, identical modular units, geometric structure, industrial materials, and fabrication. Post-Minimalists eagerly adopted these precepts as new jumping-off points for sculptural invention: use of unorthodox materials, serial repetition, and physicality, but with allusive references and sometimes whimsy or erotica in their creations. Termed "anti-form" by Robert Morris, "dematerialized" by Lucy Lippard, and "post-Minimalist" by Robert Pincus-Witten, the sculpture that emerged in the late 1960s and 1970s was a subversive response to Minimalism. Eva Hesse is often cited as an influential iconoclast, as well as Mel Bochner, Lucas Samaras, and Bru...

“She worked with rope, latex, rubberized cheesecloth, clay, metal, and wire mesh in pieces that are additive, tactile, and radical in their witty and iconoclastic use of media. Hesse adopted emotionally associative materials and structures in which layering, displacement, and serialization focused attention on process, anti-industrial technologies, and siting.” (Chadwick) Source: http://khup.com/download/0_keyword-lucy-lippard-eccentric-abstraction/anti-form-post-minimalism-post-modernism-read-pages-550-to.pdf
