The Museum of New Painters is proud to present Josheph Drapell’s new paintings.

“My Universe @ 70 – Part III” will be open until September 15, 2010.
Informal openings: Saturday 4th & 11th of September 2010, 2-4 PM.

Drapell’s art evolved from the unlikely mixture of influences from Hans Hofmann and Morris Louis. The earthy Hofmann (with his ability to over-paint until his expression is pushed to its ultimate form) is contrasted with the ethereal quality of Louis, whose work reminds us of Raphael’s or Mozart’s perfection and the seeming absence of the human hand. Drapell has both of these technical approaches. He also “draws” with reflections of light (in the shiny parts of his paintings); this provides the unique celebratory sense to Drapell’s very personal colour.

Richie Budd Featuring Personal Victories
Richland College, Brazos Gallery

Sep 2-Sep 25, 2010

Opening: Friday, Sep 3rd from 7-9 p.m.

ONE NIGHT ONLY !!
Richland College (of the DCCCD) is proud to showcase the Personal Victories and Richie Budd as they present their third collaboration: Richie Budd Featuring Personal Victories. A multimedia and multi-sensory opening promises to penetrate its needle like phalanges deep into the subconscious of all attendees. A network of neurological pathways will be installed for memories of the event to surface far into the future. The one-night-only opening performance is scheduled for 7- 9 p.m. on Friday September 3, 2010. Components of the performance and selected works will be on display for the duration of the exhibition. (Saturday, September 25th will be the final day of the exhibition as the gallery will remain open from 1-4 p.m. for DADA’s Spring Gallery Night.

The performance will include sculpture, light devices, and music/sound. The event has potential to function as concert, light show, performance and spectacle entwined with cognitive dissonance.

Richie Budd received his MFA from the University of Texas at San Antonio and has exhibited and preformed extensively with his unique ability to utilize sculptural objects, performance and sensation as a conduit to emotion and memory. Richie Budd has participated in the ARTPACE artist-in-residence program in San Antonio and the Centraltrak artist-in-residence in Dallas. His work was recently reviewed in “Artlies” by Hills Snyder and previously by Michael Odom.

About Personal Victories: In between sessions of super-positioning and influencing the Zeitgeist, the “Personal Victories” have materialized to feature their sonic culture in the rays of Richie Budd’s illumination extravaganza. First sighting appeared at Rubber Glove’s in Denton TX with George Quartz, and was followed by a performance at the 3 Propositions art opening in Ft. Worth TX., both in 2010. These incarnations successfully altered states, provoked dance consciousness, and down right split wigs. The union between Richie Budd and the Personal Victories is now solid as the universe beckons another onslaught.

Sometimes It Hurts

Triangle is proud to welcome Jan Nalevka into our Residency Program.

Artist Statement:
The central themes of my work are entropy (every system transforms naturally from order to disorder and chaos), depletion, time and meaning of labor in the society. I often work with a found amount of information, which I process in a logical way, but with the aim this information was not intended for. I am interested in the functioning of social and political structures and the relation of individuals to them. I use different media; form always comes from the content.

Roscommon Art Centre is proud to present “Fading not Ending” by Maggie Madden

The exhibition will run from July 9th through August 5th, 2010

Maggie Madden has a preference for time-consuming and intricate processes creating works that reflect on the relationships between urban and rural landscapes. The objects born of these processes are crafted out of discarded and humble materials and often have a fragility that teeters on the brink of collapse. These detailed constructions have the potential for endless expansion, to grow outward from densely ordered space and continue boundlessly.  In the works there are open ended references to our networked world, communication and transport systems, infrastructures of contemporary life in modern cities.  

A wide range of accumulated materials and fragments are transformed through simple yet careful tasks of cutting and gluing.  Scale plays an important role in the work in trying to capture vastness in the delicately minute.  A Lilliputian sense of scale sometimes brings a playful nature to the work.
 
Originally from Connemara, (b.1976) Maggie now lives and works in Dublin.  She studied Fine Art at Limerick School of Art and Design and received an MFA from NCAD in 2006.  Recent exhibitions include Light and Dark, Cake Contemporary Arts, 2010, Preponderance of the Small, Off Site Gallery 3 project, Douglas Hyde Gallery, 2009, Make, Shift and Bend, CGP London.  In 2008 she participated in Triangle Arts International Workshop, New York.  Fading not Ending is her first solo exhibition.

What am I doing here? Ke dirang ha?
An exhibition of monoprints will run from July 6 through July 18, 2010

‘What am I Doing Here? Ke Dirang Ha?’ is an exhibition of paintings and monoprints by artist in Botswana, Ann Gollifer exploring the condition of being an exotic in the exotic. Ann’s work is inspired by issues of the human condition, history and identity, both personal and collective.

Several of the pieces include vignetted photographic self portraits of the artist wearing high heels, carefully holding personal objects and memorabilia such as a wine glass, cigarette, her grandmother’s hand mirror or a small ornamental windmill.

This concept of working with the female body was inspired by a second hand book of photographic nudes from the 1950s. These nudes are positioned under studio lights and shot as pin ups in random domestic poses. Thus the mundane is made strange by the photographer’s gaze. The distance from the ordinary or in this case the nudity is reminiscent of early social anthropological documentary photography.

Overprinted are images that represent Botswana for Ann – a line of village dogs, a Brahmin bull, a women collecting firweood or the statues of the three founding chiefs of Botswana; Khama, Sebele and Bathoen.

The resulting work addresses the relationships or lack of relationships we have with the world around us. As Ann puts it, ‘I am seen but not seen. I see but do not see’. Although the references are personal, the sense of wonder and feeling of displacement are universal.

“Ann Gollifer is an artist who, through her personal search, has cut a path
of innovation, technical and aesthetic excellence and ambitiousness which
has made many of us explore our own limitations with more skepticism.
Unsurprisingly, we are again subjected to a sensuous treat of the delicate
and powerful.” – STEVE JOBSON, EXHIBITION JUDGE, 2009 ARTISTS IN BOTSWANA EXHIBITION NATIONAL MUSEUM AND ART GALLERY, GABORONE

Ann Mary Gollifer is a permanent resident of Botswana since 1985 living and working in Gaborone. She was born in British Guiana, (Guyana), of an English father and an Amerindian mother. A member of the Thapong Visual Art centre, she was part of the executive committee responsible for the building of the centre. She has also helped run design, drawing and painting workshops for artists, fundraised for workshops and residencies and organized exhibitions and juried shows and awards.

Kai Schiemenz will be one of the many artists participating in “THE KNOT”.

THE KNOT is mobile unit for artistic production and presentation in Berlin, Warsaw and Bucharest. The Knot is a temporary, mobile structure which is travelling to Berlin, Warsaw and Bucharest in the year of 2010, where it will constitute a micro-model for what could be a better city of the present.

The Knot is built to incorporate the different functions it has: production/manufacture workshop, classroom, kitchen, café, laboratory, stage, bedroom, disco, exhibition space, and archive. Throughout the weeks when it lands to the three cities, a wide array of activities, events and occurrences will be hosted by and within The Knot, inviting publics to try out various ways of interacting with each other and with the city, of participating in the creation of their own subjectivities. Working with artists, anthropologists, architects, poets or carpenters, the team of curators proposes a set of formats of approach rather than a prescribed content to be consumed.

The Knot is a project by the Temporary Curators Collective (Markus Bader, Oliver Baurhenn, Jakub Szreder, Raluca Voinea) in cooperation with Goethe-Institut Warsaw, Polnisches Institut Berlin, Raumlabor Berlin and E-cart.ro. The Knot is supported by EU Culture 2007-2013 Programme, Hauptstadtkulturfonds Berlin, Goethe Institut, Polnisches Institut.

Dana Levy, Kai Schiemenz and Iris Fluegel will be participating in the nine-gallery exhibition, inspired by the Richard Price’s novel “Lush Life”.

Reception: Thursday, July 8: 6-9pm

LUSH LIFE is an exhibition curated by Franklin Evans and Omar Lopez-Chahoud which takes place at nine Lower East Side (LES) galleries: Collette Blanchard Gallery, Eleven Rivington, INVISIBLE-EXPORTS, Lehmann Maupin, On Stellar Rays, Salon 94, Scaramouche, Sue Scott Gallery, and Y Gallery. LUSH LIFE adopts Richard Price’s 2008 novel to title and organize the exhibition.  The novel is set in the contemporary LES and through a murder investigation exposes the dynamically changing community of the neighborhood, which despite its evolution retains a ghostly and vital link to its layered past. The deep and varied history of the LES now includes the LES galleries as new community members, and Price’s novel provides a potent vehicle for the consideration of community as voices compete for, ignore, and occasionally share the same physical and conceptual space.

The galleries will host concurrent exhibitions with each exhibition reflecting the idea of one of the nine chapters in the book. The curators selected one artist from each gallery to participate in the exhibition and solicited from each of them one additional artist recommendation of an artist not from one of the nine participating galleries (nine total recommendations). The curators then supplemented this base group of eighteen artists to complete nine exhibitions, ranging in size from three to twelve artists. LUSH LIFE will be the present for what will become a living ghost to the future form into which the LES will inevitably morph.

The exhibition schedule varies slightly at each gallery with the earliest installation being June 17 and the latest closing being August 13.  There will be a collective opening of all participating galleries on Thursday, July 8th from 6 – 9 pm.

INVISIBLE-EXPORTS is a gallery dedicated to superior conceptual work. IE is located in the Lower East Side, at 14A Orchard Street, just north of Canal. NOTE: The gallery will be closed on July 3-4. July hours are Wednesday through Saturday, 12pm – 6pm, and by appointment. For the month of August, we are by appointment only.
