NEW YORK, NY.- Pace presents an exhibition of new work by Richard Tuttle. Systems, VIII–XII is on view at 534 West 25th Street from September 7–October 13. Systems, VIII–XII continues Tuttle’s search for a new type of sculpture that expands space physically while retaining the intimacy of his smaller works. The exhibition features five recent free-standing sculptures, called “Systems.” Conceived as investigations of sculpture as spatial interpenetration, rather than concrete, three-dimensional form, Tuttle’s first six systems, exhibited at Pace in 2011, explored the vertical axis between the floor and the ceiling; his newest works center on the horizontal access and the relation with the floor. A full-color, illustrated catalogue, including poems written by the artist for each of his twelve systems created to date, accompanies the exhibition. New works that pair delicate drawings ...

Jasper, 2012. Canvas, wood and paint, 49 x 62 x 8 inches, 124.5 x 157.5 x 20.3 cm.
NEW YORK, NY.- Marc Straus presents new paintings by Charles Hinman in his inaugural gallery exhibition, on view from September 5th, 2012. An American pioneer of hard-edged shaped canvases, Charles Hinman’s work received immediate global acclaim in 1964 – 5, with work at Sidney Janis Gallery and a one-person exhibition at Richard Feigen Gallery. Major works found permanent homes at MoMA, the Albright-Knox Gallery, and the Rockefeller Collection. He was included in the landmark show Young America at the Whitney Museum in 1965. Also in that year, Henry Geldzahler and Frank Stella included Hinman in the seminal exhibition, Shape and Structure, paired with Donald Judd, Robert Morris, Carl Andre, and Larry Bell. Hinman’s work foreshadowed and influenced an important generation of artists. There have been numerous museum shows in the years since, including at the Everson Museum and three at the Butler ...

BERLIN.- Monika Sprüth and Philomene Magers present the first solo exhibition by Thomas Demand at the Berlin gallery. On display are the new film project and a group of current photographic works by the artist. Pacific Sun (2012) is the central focus of the exhibition and is the artist's most elaborate and ambitious film project up to now. Already in several film works such as Tunnel (1999) or Rolltreppe / Escalator (2000), Demand concerned himself with complex constructions of reality by creating a temporal movement by means of tracking shots and animations within his paper models. The two-minute-long film Pacific Sun is based on a video clip on YouTube showing the footage of a surveillance camera from the dining room of a cruise ship during turbulent sea conditions. The pieces of furniture—tables, chairs, cabinets, ... More |

BELFAST.- Beat the September blues by travelling back in time and across the world on the greatest ocean liners: the Kenneth Shoesmith ‘Art of the Liner’ exhibition at the Ulster Museum. This breath-taking collection will delight art lovers and exotic travellers alike. A respected member of the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolours and of the British Society of Poster Designers, Halifax-born Shoesmith served on ships from the age of 16. Travelling across the world, he would paint the maritime scenes and landscapes around him. In 1918 he began a career as a full-time painter and in 1936, at the pinnacle of his career, he designed and painted the murals for the luxurious liner, Queen Mary. He died age 48 in 1939. Following the death of his widow in 1974, the contents of Shoesmith’s studio were bequeathed to the Ulster Museum, which is proud to present this fascinating exhibition capturing the golden age of t ...

NEW YORK, NY.- Paul Kasmin Gallery presents SIX, Saint Clair Cemin’s (b. 1951, Cruz Alta, Brazil) inaugural exhibition with the Gallery, on view at 515 W 27th Street from September 6 through October 13, 2012, alongside the artist’s New York public art debut. Stringing together the rational, the unknown, the unconscious, and the dream, the Brazilian sculptor combines his signature pluralistic style with both concrete and abstract expressions in this exhibition of six new sculptural works, all made in 2012. Beyond the walls of the gallery, Paul Kasmin Gallery partners with the Broadway Mall Association (a New York non-profit organization working to beautify and maintain the malls of Broadway from 70th Street to 168th Street) to present Saint Clair Cemin on Broadway, an exhibition of seven additional sculptures by Cemin at outdoor locations from September 6 through mid-November 2012. “Cemin’s endgame ...

NEW YORK, NY.- The Paula Cooper Gallery announced Paul Pfeiffer’s first exhibition at the gallery and the artist’s first one-person show in New York since 2007. This exhibition of new work is on view from September 8 through October 13, 2012. An artist working in the field of video, photography, installation art and sculpture since the late nineties, Pfeiffer is well-known and celebrated for his highly sophisticated use of digital technologies and new media, probing the way these technologies at once shape and alter our daily visual experience. Digitally manipulating or erasing elements from iconic images, many of them taken from sports events or Hollywood films, Pfeiffer adopts today’s frenetic visual language in order to explore our culture’s obsession with spectacle and uncover its hidden psychological cost. For this exhibition, Pfeiffer has created a sculpture based on the “playroom” ... More |
| Other Criteria presents 'Exotic Juicy Tutti Frutti' a series of photographs by Antonio Marguet | | Exhibition looks at the use and composition of music within contemporary artistic practices | | Early laptop designer and Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum Director Bill Moggridge dies at 69 | 
Antonio Marguet, Vanilla Aroma and Leather, 2011. C-type print. Edition of 10, 750 x 850 mm.
LONDON.- From September 6th 2012 Other Criteria (Hinde Street) is exhibiting works by Antonio Marguet. The exhibition titled ‘Exotic Juicy Tutti Frutti’, is on display in the Photography Room, a space on the lower ground floor dedicated to photography. Each photograph takes its title from a variety of car air fresheners, named extravagantly to stimulate the imagination. The reference to these artificial fragrances is not just a comment on the deodorant industry. Conceptually, it plays on the current day necessity of creating one’s own, personal brand, especially in the realms of social media. Marguet uses these air fresheners and deodorants as metaphors for commodified brand enhancers. The photographs in this series show Marguet’s fascination with what he sees as 'the excess of subjectivity and self-absorption in the social media age'. It is the seductive nature of being projected as a commodity beyon ... More | | 
Haroon Mirza, Untitled song with untitled works by James Clarkson. Photo: Olle Kirchmeier/Bonniers Konsthall.
STOCKHOLM.- Bonniers Konsthall opens this fall with the group exhibition More Than Sound which looks at the use and composition of music within contemporary artistic practices. Occupying the entire Konsthall and extending outdoors, More Than Sound comprises as well an extensive series of events, workshops and concerts, the first of which is a considerable John Cage centennial celebration. Bonniers Konsthall has with previous exhibitions coupled the making of art with fields such as theatre, film and literature, and has now come to explore music. More Than Sound presents art that alludes to a range of compositional methods and considers the varying manners in which artists have created or used music within their work. What is on view or performed is therefore not orchestrated to coalesce. Rather, the exhibition aims to focus on disharmonies through which divergent compositions can be better understood, arguing that wh ... More | | 
Smithsonian's Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum shows Director Bill Moggridge. AP Photo/Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum.
NEW YORK (AP).- Bill Moggridge, a British industrial designer who designed an early portable computer with the flip-open shape that is common today, has died. He was 69. The Smithsonian's Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum said Moggridge, its director since 2010, died on Saturday from cancer. Moggridge is credited with the design of the Grid Compass, a computer that had a keyboard and yellow-on-black display that sold for $8,150 when it was released in 1982. It was encased in magnesium and seen as rugged, and was used by the U.S. military. The computer made its way into outer space aboard the Space Shuttle Discovery in 1985. Although there were many portable computers being developed around that time, Grid Systems Corp. won the patent for the clamshell design with the foldable screen hinged toward the back of the machine, said Alex Bochannek, a curator at the Computer ...

| Oscar Cueto, solitude, new drawings and a video on view at Walter Maciel Gallery | | Italian artist Luca Pozzi opens first solo show in the United States at Kabe Contemporary | | North American premiere of Kelly Richardson's new video installation, Mariner 9, at the Royal Ontario Museum | 
Oscar Cueto, Paisajes y Manchas 10, 2010. Colored graphite on paper, 7" x 5".
LOS ANGELES, CA.- Walter Maciel Gallery presents new drawings from a series entitled Paisajes y Manchas Rorschach and a video entitled Las 400 Vueltas by Mexico City based artist Oscar Cueto. The exhibition marks Cueto’s third solo show with the gallery. Oscar Cueto presents 18 small format drawings executed in colored graphite and based on different symmetrical patterns and shapes found in the Rorschach psychological tests. The stains are cleverly placed within landscapes taken from photographs of Cueto’s travels including city streets, urban parks and the ocean. The mysterious blots become monstrous creatures that create a fantasy of terror for the impending peaceful scenery. In one drawing a young boy is shown walking down a curvy path of a public park only to be greeted by the perfectly placed Rorschach monster. Depending on how the blot ... More | | 
Luca Pozzi, Waiting 4 Oracle, 2012.
MIAMI, FL.- Kabe Contemporary present ?Waiting 4 Oracle [1560-2012]? by Italian artist Luca Pozzi. For his first solo show in the United States, Luca Pozzi continues his study of time shifts, rejoining within his own research different grammars and disciplines. The project is a nonlinear scheme composed by a multiplicity of refercences merged together by employing photgraphs, sculptures, paintings and new technologies. ?Waiting 4 Oracle [1560-2012]? is an exhibition that revisits history and time, starting with the Renaissance painting in 1560, to the logical-mathematical revolution of 1931, through the latest discoveries of the seventies: the 1973 Physics Nobel Prize and the Optical Art and Arte Povera, until our present time. Even if apparently fascinated by the Post-Modernist approach, Luca Pozzi is working on something closer to the imaginary film MIB (1997-2012) and closer to the research in informatics and th ...

 San Antonio Painters II opens at Blue Star Contemporary Art Center in San Antonio SAN ANTONIO, TX.- Blue Star Contemporary Art Center presents San Antonio Painters II, an exhibition juried and curated by Barbara MacAdam, Deputy Editor of ARTnews magazine. This exhibition, the sequel to summer 2012’s San Antonio Painters I, continues through November 17, 2012. After receiving an overwhelming number of artist submissions for San Antonio Painters I, over 135 individual proposals, both Blue Star and MacAdam recognized the need for another exhibition in order to showcase the vast amount of local talent in this unique city. MacAdam was thrilled to help usher in this dream of ours. While re-reviewing the submitted work, she took a new approach in choosing the featured artists, stating, “Where I’d originally intended to concentrate in San Antonio Painters II on the rich variety of abstract painting taking place among artists in the community, I found, ... More Property from Boston physicians' residence, estate of a colorful world traveler headline auction WAKEFIELD, MASS.- Fine and decorative art from the living estate of two Boston-area physicians will team with photographic collectibles and Western Americana from the estate of the late photographer and world traveler William “Wild Bill” Melton at Tonya A. Cameron’s (TAC Auctions) Thursday, Sept. 20 sale. Cameron said the 350-lot auction contains not only quality furnishings and art from the Boston residence of two distinguished doctors who are husband and wife but also “many fun things – in particular from the Melton estate – that you just don’t see at auction.” A wealth of 19th/early 20th-century Asian, fine and decorative art; silver, rugs, furniture, art glass and both fine and costume jewelry was sourced from the living estate. Asian offerings include Emperor and Wife figurines, a mystery ball, reclining nudes, a carved ivory dagger and an opium pipe. Additionally, there are jade ... More Norman Rockwell Museum protects The Four Freedoms (Literally) with new acrylic glazing STOCKBRIDGE, MASS.- Norman Rockwell’s iconic “Four Freedoms” paintings took center stage this week as an inspirational backdrop to a special naturalization ceremony on Saturday, September 8, in Stockbridge, when more than 20 residents were sworn in as naturalized U.S. citizens in Norman Rockwell Museum’s galleries. This is just one of many public roles the famous oil paintings will play this year and in the future, as the Museum prepares to consider possible requests for loans and special exhibitions from afar. Part of the Museum’s permanent Rockwell collection, “The Four Freedoms” are perhaps the best known and most popular of all the artist’s work. To protect the original “Four Freedoms” paintings from UV exposure, dust, grime, and an adoring public, the Museum sent the four oil paintings to Williamstown Art Conservation Center last year to be glazed with Tru Vue Optium ... More Fahamu Pecou presents fourth solo exhibition with Lyons Wier Gallery NEW YORK, NY.- Lyons Wier Gallery presents All Dat Glitters Ain't Goals, their fourth solo exhibition featuring Fahamu Pecou. Fahamu Pecou expands upon his 2011 exhibition in Paris, HARD 2 DEATH, by utilizing his familiar trope of selfportraiture to challenge and dissect society's representation of black masculinity in popular culture today. The title, All Dat Glitters Ain't Goals, is an obvious play on the quote from William Shakespeare's Merchant of Venice, "all that glitters is not gold." As with all of Pecou's exhibitions, the artist's masterful word play is the root of his exhibition. Extrapolating from a broad range of popular culture resources, Pecou sifts through rap music, hip-hop culture and mass media to provide a visual reference that exaggerates and calls into question the persona and "hype" that serves as a bar upon which an entire segment of today's society measures ... More "Lilith in da House": Self-portraits in strangers' houses on view at Eduard Planting Gallery in Amsterdam AMSTERDAM.- Dutch Art Photographer Henriëtte van Gasteren (Sevenum, 1964), using the artist name Lilith, is a storyteller with a passion for photography. Since 2006 her self-portraits have been telling her stories. Her recurring themes have been women, identity, female archetypes, gender bending and of course, life itself. But above all freedom and equality. Lilith creates humorous, ironic self-portraits around her own home. A house shows who we are and over 5 years Lilith shared her home with her audience. Every corner of the room appears in her extraordinary photography. A story in images about women, vulnerability, eroticism and much more. Now the time for change has come. For her latest series of self-portraits homeowners unknown to her have offered their houses as sets. After she contacted the newspapers dozens of house owners offered their homes for her new ... More Tally Beck Contemporary presents Nobuhito Nishigawara's first solo exhibition in New York NEW YORK, NY.- Tally Beck Contemporary presents an exhibition of Japanese artist Nobuhito Nishigawara’s new multimedia pieces as the centerpiece of its autumn program. The show, entitled Persona: Nobuhito Nishigawara’s Solo Exhibition, opened at Tally Beck Contemporary, 42 Rivington St., on Wednesday, September 5, 2012, and will run through November 10. Persona is comprised of 13 multimedia pieces involving sculpture and photography. In his work, Nishigawara references ancient Japanese sculpture, particularly the funereal haniwa, and contemporary consumer toys. Using blurred to photography to quote his sculpture, the artist comments on his conflicted identity as a Japanese man who has relocated to California. Nishigawara has shown extensively in exhibitions on the West Coast and showed in July 2012 with Tally Beck Contemporary at artMRKT Hamptons. ... More |
