about the "Payne Whitney Mansion" in New York

By -
  Propriété de la France depuis 1952, la Payne Whitney Mansion, sise au 972 Fifth Avenue, chef-d’œuvre architectural du Gilded Age new-yorkais, abrite désormais le siège de la Villa Albertine, tête de pont d’un réseau de 10 antennes à travers les États-Unis. Dans le cadre d’une rénovation d’ampleur, les espaces de réception ont été restaurés et redécorés par l’Atelier de Ricou, en écho au travail mené par le décorateur Jacques Garcia pour la Librairie Albertine en 2014. Cette rénovation complète la restauration de la Venetian Room en 2018 et antérieurement la redécouverte du Cupidon de Michel-Ange, seule statue de l’artiste présente sur le sol nord-américain. La création contemporaine fait également à cette occasion son entrée dans ce bâtiment historique. À l’été dernier, une carte blanche a été offerte à Flora Moscovici (née en 1985) pour la réalisation d’une œuvre monumentale, intitulée Helen’s Stairway, prenant la forme d’un all-over éthéré et coloré dans l’escalier desservant l...

It's on view through January 23, 2022. Come visit! The show is organized around a series of "arrival moments" -- Columbus, the Middle Passage, the Mayflower, Ellis Island / Angel Island, WW2, 1965, and Today -- in order to explore some of the myths and origin stories that have shaped American identity. ARRIVALS asks how artists over several centuries have helped to construct these stories, disrupt or challenge them, how they have navigated their own arrival stories, and how they are imagining new kinds of stories to tell in future. Some of the 50+ artists represented include Hannelore Baron, Maria Magdalena Campos-Pons, Enrique Chagoya, Willie Cole, vanessa german, Mohamad Hafez, Dorothea Lange, Titus Kaphar, Cannupa Hanska Luger, Faith Ringgold, Ben Shahn, Roger Shimomura, Jaune Quick-to-See Sm...

NEW YORK ? read this email sent by KENTLER INTERNATIONAL DRAWING SPACE Robert Aitchison STATE OF EMERGENCY: PORTRAITS FROM THE PANDEMIC November 6 - December 12, 2021 Join us for the Opening Reception: Saturday, November 6, 4-6pm Artist's Talk: December 5, 4pm (Proof of Vaccine & Masks Required, observing pandemic precautions) Kentler International Drawing Space is pleased to present State of Emergency: Portraits from the Pandemic, a solo exhibition of new work on paper by Brooklyn-based artist Robert Aitchison. This body of work explores complex notions of presence, engagement and isolation in the era of Covid. Beginning in March 2020, Aitchison utilized video chat platforms to make hundreds of sketches of close friends. The resulting portrait series is at once vibrant and introspective. His subjects are jarringly foregrounded and many present with duplicate or askew facial features. These distortions mirror the glitchy, interrupted and delayed experienc...
