  Propriรฉtรฉ de la France depuis 1952, la Payne Whitney Mansion, sise au 972 Fifth Avenue, chef-d’ล“uvre architectural du Gilded Age new-yorkais, abrite dรฉsormais le siรจge de la Villa Albertine, tรชte de pont d’un rรฉseau de 10 antennes ร  travers les ร‰tats-Unis. Dans le cadre d’une rรฉnovation d’ampleur, les espaces de rรฉception ont รฉtรฉ restaurรฉs et redรฉcorรฉs par l’Atelier de Ricou, en รฉcho au travail menรฉ par le dรฉcorateur Jacques Garcia pour la Librairie Albertine en 2014. Cette rรฉnovation complรจte la restauration de la Venetian Room en 2018 et antรฉrieurement la redรฉcouverte du Cupidon de Michel-Ange, seule statue de l’artiste prรฉsente sur le sol nord-amรฉricain. La crรฉation contemporaine fait รฉgalement ร  cette occasion son entrรฉe dans ce bรขtiment historique. ร€ l’รฉtรฉ dernier, une carte blanche a รฉtรฉ offerte ร  Flora Moscovici (nรฉe en 1985) pour la rรฉalisation d’une ล“uvre monumentale, intitulรฉe Helen’s Stairway, prenant la forme d’un all-over รฉthรฉrรฉ et colorรฉ 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...

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...
