Alex Katz, Tracy on the Raft (detail)
WATERVILLE, ME.- For decades American painter Alex Katz has split his time between New York City and Maine. From July 14 through Dec. 30, 2012, the Colby College Museum of Art, which holds the world?s largest collection of Katz?s work, presents an exhibition focusing on the themes of the city and the country in Katz?s work from the 1950s to the present. Drawn from the Colby Museum's collection and loans, Alex Katz: Maine/New York is curated by the New York poet and critic Carter Ratcliff, an expert on Katz's work. The exhibition includes 28 paintings and one multipart sculpture and is accompanied by a catalog published by Charta and the Colby College Museum of Art . Katz's connection to Maine dates to 1949, when he attended the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture. His relationship with Colby began a few years later. A quintessential New York artist, Katz is also a summer resident of Lincolnville, Maine. Thus his s ... More | |

COPENHAGEN.- This year’s main exhibition at the National Gallery of Denmark brings together a range of absolute masterpieces by Matisse from museums and private collections from all across the world. The exhibition, which is realised as a result of co-operation between the National Gallery of Denmark, the Centre Pompidou in Paris, and The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, adds a new chapter to our shared understanding of the French master painter. Henri Matisse (1869-1954) is one of the main figures of art history in general and one of the most far-reaching innovators of the art of painting in the 20th century. His bold deformation of the human figure, his coarse lines, his liberation of colour, and his highly insistent accentuation of the painterly marked a clear break with ... More |

Mel Chin, Cross for the Unforgiven, 2012. Eight Romanian AK-47 WASR-10 Cal.7.62x39mm Assault Rifles, 54 x 54 x 3 inches (137.2 x 137.2 x 7.6 centimeters). Edition 1/3. Tenth Anniversary Edition. Installed dimensions variable.
LOS ANGELES, CA.- This exhibition seeks to ask, “what is a crime?” The exhibition title, derived from an obsolete law still on the books in Los Angeles, points to the definitions of criminal behavior as sometimes absurd, other times poetic, and occasionally magical. The exhibition includes traditionally understood artworks, as well as objects and images produced through committing crimes and solving crimes. Many pieces on view are simultaneously artworks and the works of criminals or crime solvers. What constitutes crime is nearly as broad a question as what constitutes art. While crime's definition might seem static, it necessarily evolves alongside our culture's changing ideas of right and wrong. Violating rules, of course, exists beyond just legal definitions. It has been at the center of avant-garde strategies for a ... More | |

SAN FRANCISCO, CA.- The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art blurs the line between fine arts and performing arts with its new exhibition Stage Presence: Theatricality in Art and Media, on view July 14 through October 8, 2012. Organized by Curator of Media Arts Rudolf Frieling, the exhibition presents works in a variety of media and features a series of performances that explore the influence of theater, dance, and performance in contemporary art. Stage Presence gathers three decades of works by 40 artists including some key works from the SFMOMA media arts collection, all of which embrace theatricality in contemporary art practice. Exuberant manifestations of the "stage" emerge, such as beauty pageants; a dance troupe in post-punk London; artists dressed as a bear and a rat walking through the Swiss Alps; and a family occupying in-store Ikea model rooms. Some of the works are humorous and camp, ... More |

LOS ANGELES, CA.- Maloney Fine Art presents an exhibition of photographs by Masood Kamandy, the artist’s first solo exhibition in Los Angeles. The works in this exhibition explore photography's ability to collapse time and space. Utilizing software designed by the artist to combine multiple images, Kamandy embraces chance and chaos, creating images which are un-manipulated composites, layered and mixed to arrive at a completed work. The arrangement of the works in the gallery are a further extension of this spirit of layering and simultaneity. This summer Kamandy was invited to present this body of work at dOCUMENTA(13) in Kassel, Germany. On behalf of dOCUMENTA(13), he also travelled to Kabul, Afghanistan this past spring to work with young artists in a seminar entitled 'Experimental Digital Photography.' The seminar was held at the photography ... More | | 
Mike McCartney was educated at the Liverpool Institute High School.
HOWLAND TOWNSHIP, OH.- This summer, visitors to The Butler Institute of American Art’s Trumbull branch will be able to see Scotland through the eyes of British photographer, Mike McCartney, as the museum presents “Mike McCartney’s North Highlands,” July 13 through September 2, 2012. Born in 1944 at the end of World War II, Mike McCartney was educated at the Liverpool Institute High School. Wanting to attend art school, Mike took a great interest in the art of photography. He captured the people and events of the day learning the trade. This became the foundation of a life-long body of work. Mike entered the entertainment world in the “Liverpool One Fat Lady All Electric,” group, which eventually became the poetic/satirical group SCAFFOLD. Mike changed his name to “McGear” attempting to secure his own identity and avoid the surge of “Beatlemania.” Mike was an integral part of the 1960s Merseybeat era, and involved in both the the ...

 Woody Guthrie's 100th birthday celebrated in Oklahoma OKLAHOMA CITY (AP).- Folk singer and native Oklahoman Woody Guthrie was "probably not one of the favorite sons" when he was alive, a state senator said. But Guthrie's legacy has inspired a celebration in honor of his 100th birthday this Sunday at the annual festival in his hometown of Okemah. Guthrie, perhaps best known for his song "This Land is Your Land," was hotly political, speaking out against fascism and aligning himself with working class, influenced by his time in the Dust Bowl. Guthrie had a silly side, too, in ditties such as "Car Song." And his seemingly simple songwriting inspired countless musicians, among them Bob Dylan and Pete Seeger. Guthrie's son, singer Arlo Guthrie, told The Associated Press in a telephone interview Friday that he believes his father would find humor in the fact that his life and music are being celebrated as part of the 15th annual Woody Guthrie ... More Delaware Art Museum announces statewide pop-up art campaign WILMINGTON, DE.- The Delaware Art Museum's year-long Centennial Celebration--which officially began last November--continues this summer with a surprise pop-up art campaign titled Art is Everywhere! "Pop-up" art is an outdoor museum exhibition that uses main streets and landmark outdoor spaces as its gallery space. Realistic reproductions of works of art are printed to scale, framed, and then installed in pedestrian--friendly outdoor locations--including parks, the sides of public or private buildings, and other locations where people gather. On view July 17 - October 1, 2012, Art is Everywhere features 15 reproductions of some of the Museum's most treasured paintings, such as Howard Pyle's The Mermaid, Winslow Homer's Milking Time, and Edward Hopper's Summertime. "The Delaware Art Museum's collection really belongs to all Delawareans," says Museum Executive ... More First solo exhibition in the United States by Dutch artist Charlotte Dumas opens at the Corcoran WASHINGTON, DC.- This summer, the Corcoran Gallery of Art and College of Art + Design presents Charlotte Dumas: Anima (July 14–October 28, 2012), the first solo exhibition in the United States by Dutch artist Charlotte Dumas and the fourth exhibition in NOW at the Corcoran, a program dedicated to showcasing work by midcareer and emerging artists. Anima, organized by Paul Roth, the Corcoran’s senior curator and director of photography and media arts, will showcase a newly-commissioned series of portraits in the Corcoran’s Rotunda that show the majestic burial horses of Arlington National Cemetery, and will be accompanied by three earlier bodies of work, showing the artist’s range of approaches to her subjects. A rising international contemporary artist, Dumas recently received widespread acclaim for her photographs ... More Rise Early, Be Industrious: survey exhibition by British artist Olivia Plender opens at Arnolfini BRISTOL.- This summer, Arnolfini presents Rise Early, Be Industrious, a survey exhibition by British artist Olivia Plender. Incorporating a selection of her past projects and new work, the exhibition explores key aspects of Plender's practice, such as her on-going research into historical and contemporary forms of communication and education, and the social function of games, exhibitions, television and the internet. The exhibition is the second episode in a series of three exhibitions by Olivia Plender, in collaboration with MK Gallery, Milton Keynes and Centre for Contemporary Arts, Glasgow. Rise Early, Be Industrious offers a series of colourful stage-like sets that invite investigation and playful interaction. Drawing on examples such as the educational remit of the BBC, the Modern Spiritualist movement in the early 20th century and World's Exhibitions, Olivia Plender is interested ... More New works by British artist Luke Caulfield on view at Lazarides LONDON.- Second Hand is an exhibition of all new works by British artist Luke Caulfield, showing for the first time at Lazarides Rathbone from the 13th July 2012. The artist’s latest series embraces the failure of historical documentation to relay the elusive experience of an object or event in its own time and place. Focusing on neon light works from the twentieth century, Bernini sculpture and the Mafia bombs that destroyed cultural targets in 1993, Caulfield reflects upon an anxiety to preserve the past, an anxiety to memorialize; instincts that seem to fight against the flow of time. The synergy between Caulfield’s inspiration, perception and artistic portrayal is succinct throughout his body of work, both consciously and sub-consciously. His paintings play with and break a linear narrative and time structure. Much of the work is filtered through unconventional digital processes (2D ... More Artist paints over Joe Paterno's halo on Penn State mural STATE COLLEGE, PA (AP).- An artist has removed a halo from a mural of Penn State football coach Joe Paterno amid the school's child sex-abuse scandal. Michael Pilato had put a halo over Paterno's image after the beloved coach's death in January, but said he felt he had to remove it Saturday after a report that Paterno, former university president Graham Spanier and others buried allegations of child sex-abuse against ex-assistant Jerry Sandusky. Paterno's family denies the claim. Pilato added a large blue ribbon, instead, on Paterno's lapel symbolizing support for child abuse victims, a cause the artist said Paterno had endorsed. Pilato earlier removed Sandusky from the downtown mural. He said he hasn't made a decision on Spanier's image. Spanier has not been charged. Sandusky has been convicted and is awaiting sentencing. ... More |
