Kyle Gallup (Workshop ’83) Commission

Gallup’s Brick by Brick was commissioned in celebration of African American Music Month, the exhibition Motown to Def Jam and Art Crawl Harlem scheduled for June 15, 2013.

As described by the Souleo, the curator for Art Crawl Harlem, “…visual artist Kyle Gallup presents ‘Brick by Brick’ in tribute to the Philadelphia International All-Stars song “Let’s Clean Up the Ghetto.

The song’s lyrics are visually connected with Kyle’s depiction of a socioeconomically disadvantaged inner-city where hope is still possible if we rebuild our communities ‘brick by brick.”

Working it Out at The Painting Center
547 W 27th St., Suite 500, New York, NY

June 18 – July 27, 2013
Opening reception: Thursday, June 20, 6-8pm

Working It Out features 112 artists of all disciplines who begin their creative process with preparatory drawings. This enables visual problem solving throughout the execution of an artwork that is both fluid and beautiful. Drawing can be an exploration of materials, mark making, the emotional tenor of a piece, compositional arrangements or color. Working drawings are the visual manifestation of a work in progress; a working idea. Typically, this work is not seen by the public. These are private musings that reflect thought processes. They are, by definition, incomplete. This exhibition will allow the viewer to see the private world of the artist’s creative process.

Hope to see you around…

Monumental new sculpture by Jaume Plensa

Unveiled in collateral event of The 55th Venice Biennale

Rui Rui, a seven meter sculpture by Jaume Plensa, will stand at the crossroads of Accademia and San Marco as part of the exhibition Glasstress: White Light / White Heat. Though fabricated in cast iron, the sculpture appears like a hologram, fugitive despite its great materiality. Plensa’s Rui Rui will be premiered at the Palazzo Cavalli-Franchetti in Venice from June 1-November 24, 2013. There will be a press preview on May 30. The artist will be present at the vernissage on May 31. Glasstress is curated by Adriano Berengo and James Putnam and coincides with the 55th Venice Biennale.

Rui Rui (2013) will be installed in the garden of Palazzo Cavalli-Franchetti on the north side of the Accademia bridge. The sculpture continues Plensa’s focus on the human figure, specifically the head, a subject he explores in monumental scale such as the majestic Echo (2011, Madison Square Park, New York) and Dream (2009, St. Helens, Liverpool, U.K.). Rui Rui is captured in silent meditation, her eyes closed in a dream. The sculpture invites a similar moment of quiet contemplation for all who encounter the work, as they pass through Venice’s labyrinthine canals and streets.

Neil Beloufa’s films focus on the slippery line between fiction and reality. He sets up situations in which both amateurs and professional actors explore enigmatic subjects ranging from extraterrestrials to nationalism, terrorism, and the future. During his Hammer residency in 2012, Beloufa produced a new film exploring the iconography of the red bandana. Disparate political movements and subcultures—including gangsters, hippies, rock stars, cowboys, and anarchists—have long adopted the red bandana as a sign of affiliation or camaraderie. In his installation, Production Value (2013) Beloufa uses the red bandana as a vehicle in which to examine such subcultures and how these groups interact with each other and wrestle with existential issues when faced with a great catastrophe. Production Value will be screened in an installation designed by the artist in the Hammer’s video gallery. Hammer Projects: Neil Beloufa is organized by Ali Subotnick, Hammer curator.

Date: May 25, 2013 – August 25, 2013

Location: Hammer Museum

Hammer Projects: Neil Beloufa is presented through a residency at the Hammer Museum. The Hammer Museum’s Artist Residency Program is supported through a generous grant from the Simms/Mann Family Foundation. The residency program was initiated with funding from the Nimoy Foundation and is supported through a significant grant from The James Irvine Foundation.

Neil Beloufa’s new film installation, Production Value, was partially realized with funds from the Audi Talent Award 2011.

Opening: Saturday, June 8th, 6pm-9pm

Exhibition dates: June 9th, 12am-7pm, June 10 – 15, 2pm-6pm, and by appointment by contacting Christine Laquet, 347.925.6333

CR(I)SES AD(JUST)MENTS (COLLAPSED) focuses on the monstrous metaphors that were born out of The Great Depression of 1929 and those that have yet to arise from the 2008 Great Recession. In 1933, just four years after Black Thursday, King Kong became a popular icon in the historic birthplace of finance, simultaneously embodying the savage, the transgressive, and the monstrous.

Five years after the recent economic crisis, how do we connect the figure of the monster to contemporary life? What is its possible embodiment today? Using historical documents, in the creation of performance, drawings, and films, this exhibition is proposing to reactivate and short-circuit established narratives.

A book launch will accompany the opening reception. During her 6 month residency at Flux Factory, Christine Laquet invited different writers to contribute and reflect on her research: artists, performers, art critics and historians, curators, composers and collaboraters. The book includes contributions by Arnaud Gerspacher, Chennie Huang, Christine Laquet, Mille Højerslev Nielson, Robert Steijn, Julien Tarride and Julien Zerbone.

Inquiries about the exhibition or book orders can be made through this email address: souffle05@yahoo.fr

The artist would like to warmly thank Gérard Faroux and Alexandria Wailes, the book contributors, Pierre Camilien, Lena Hawkins, Constantin Hartenstein, Lara Hirzel and Stéphane Pauvret.

The exhibition and the book is made possible with the support of Flux Factory, The Regional Council of Pays de la Loire, Nantes City, and The French Institute. More information about the artist can be found here.

VIDEOROVER : SEASON 6

Date: May 23rd – Dec 13th 2013

Opening Reception: Thurs. May 23, 7pm

Location: NURTUREart Gallery, 56 Bogart Street, Brooklyn, NY 11206

NURTUREart is pleased to present Videorover: Season 6 in partnership with RAPID PULSE, an International Performance Art Festival based in Chicago. The sixth season of Videorover will showcase performance-inspired works made for the camera and to be presented on screen. The works in this exhibition are created using performance as a departure point and medium, privileging the body as the vehicle for production but also looking to the camera as a collaborator. In these works, performance acts allow the camera to complete them, mediating the gap between performer and audience. Expanding the boundaries of what is or can be performance art is one of the many focuses of RAPID PULSE, as well as questioning ideas on presence, live-ness and mediation.

Curated by Rachel Steinberg and Giana Gambino, Videorover: Season 6 will feature works by artists: Bridget Batch + Kevin Cooley, Heather Delaney, Kerry Downey in collaboration with Jen Rosenblit and Joanna Seitz, Michael H Hall, Constantin Hartenstein, Gabriel Hosovsky, Lindsay Packer, Daniel Seiple, Alina Tenser, Jacob Tonski and Roland Wegerer.

NURTUREart’s video program, Videorover aims at becoming an ever-expanding forum for new and emerging video artists. The works included in this season will be shown in a screening event both at NURTUREart Gallery on May 23 and at DEFRIBILLATOR Gallery on June 5 in Chicago as part of RAPID PULSE’s ten day long international performance art festival.
