The Contemporary Arts Center New Orleans Displays Works by Tina Girourard & Robert Gordy <http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/artknowledge/~3/4HSI__2WROY/01_07_2011_01_02_20_the_contemporary_arts_center_new_orleans_displays_works_by_tina_girourard_robert_gordy.html?utm_source=feedburner_medium=email> Posted: 30 Jun 2011 11:01 PM PDT

New Orleans.- The Contemporary Arts Center New Orleans is proud to present  "Patterns and Prototypes: Tina  Girouard and Robert  Gordy", on view at the center until September 25th. Of the many art  movements that took place in the United States during the latter part of the  20th century, few have consistently lacked critical and historical reassessment  to the extent experienced by the Pattern and Decoration (P&D) movement that  took the New York art world by storm from the mid 1970s until the early 1980s.  During its heyday, such stars of the P&D movement as Robert Kushner, Kim MacConnell, Joyce Kozloff, and Robert Zakanitch promoted a  freeform, sensual use of patterned motifs in their work, fusing abstraction and  representation in a distinctively pleasure-based aesthetic that was embraced as  a significant departure from the more conceptualized approach of Post-Minimal  art and Earthworks.

Unbeknownst to most casual observers, two Louisiana artists-Tina Girouard  and Robert Gordy-played a formative role in the P&D movement, and as part of  its 35th Birthday program, the CAC presents "Patterns and Prototypes", an  exhibition focused on early works by these two pioneering figures.

Tina Girouard was originally from Louisiana, but moved to New York in the  1960's attracted by the creative fever of the city's contemporary art movements.  In New York, she met and worked with musicians Richard Landry and the Philip  Glass Ensemble and performance artists such as Gordon Matta  Clark, Keith Sonnier, Richard  Serra, Lawrence Weiner, Laurie Anderson,  Sonnier, Deborah Hay and the Natural History of the American Dancer, among  others. She was an early founding participant of many cutting edge artistic  developments, including, 112 Greene St., FOOD, the Clocktower and PS1, Creative  Time, Performance Art and the Fabric Workshop. After a fire destroyed her  building in 1979, she her main studio back to Louisiana. From her base there,  she helping to promote Louisiana's culture by creating visual arts venues and an  international festival. Since 1990, she has maintained a studio in  Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Girouard has received numerous fellowships and grants,  and her works are in museums and private collections around the  world.

Louisiana artist Robert Gordy was known for his complex acrylic paintings  which featured patterning and repetition, and linear shapes in a flat pictorial  space in closely-keyed colors. In the early 1980s, the human head began to  emerge as an important element in his paintings and in a series of monotypes  created in Santa Fe. Invited to a residency at Graphicstudio in 1983, Gordy  created his first etchings in aquatint. Many works make direct references to  African sculpture, which Gordy collected. Gordy had solo exhibitions at the  New Orleans Museum of Art,  the Long Beach Museum of Art,  the Phyllis Kind Gallery in New York and the Arthur Roger Gallery, New Orleans.  He was included in the 1973 Whitney Biennial, and the  21st National Print Exhibition at the Brooklyn Museum, among many other  exhibitions. Born in Louisiana in 1933, Gordy died in 1989.

The Contemporary Arts Center New Orleans is a multi-disciplinary arts  center, dedicated to the presentation, production and promotion of the art of  our time. The CAC is a cultural leader. As such, it organizes, presents and  tours curated exhibitions, performances and programs by local, regional,  national and international artists. It demonstrates proactive local and regional  leadership by educating children and adults; cultivating and growing audiences;  and initiating and encouraging collaboration among diverse artists,  institutions, communities and supporters. The Contemporary Arts Center  (CAC) was formed in the fall of 1976 by a passionate group of visual artists  when the movement to tear down the walls between visual and performing arts was  active nationwide. The CAC began as an artist-run, artist-driven community  organization in the nearly empty arts district of New Orleans. As the burgeoning  arts district grew, so did the CAC, evolving to meet the increasing needs of a  diverse audience and artist communities. Renovated in 1990, and donated to the  CAC in 1999, the CAC's building mixes the timelessness of New Orleans' historic  architecture with contemporary materials and usable open spaces. Throughout the  CAC's 35 years, the center has remained active in the visual and performing arts  and arts education communities, continuing to represent an era of creative  freedom and multi-disciplinary expression.

Today, the CAC is one out of a handful of nationwide arts organizations who  have remained solvent and successful while serving a truly multi-disciplinary  mission. Currently dedicating two floors, about 10,000 square feet of gallery  space, on the 4-story building to rotating exhibitions throughout the year, the  CAC is home to artists' bold experiments in painting, theater, photography,  performance art, dance, music, video, education, and sculpture. Since 2006, the  CAC has awarded $350,000 in grants to individual New Orleans' artists who were  affected by Hurricane Katrina through the CAC Theatre Arts Fund and the  SweetArts Katrina Fund. Offering creative outlets and opportunities, the CAC's  education department successfully engages over 10,000 children and adults  annually, including those with special needs and those from economically  deprived backgrounds. The CAC's education and outreach projects offer intimate  arts education settings where students, most for the first time, work together  with artists, generating a greater impact through more personal, interactive  experiences. The CAC's significance and role in the cultural community of New  Orleans has and always will be cemented in its broad community-based programs  and initiatives.

The Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts Hosts Emerging Artist Hiro Sakaguchi <http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/artknowledge/~3/ziZQmWzQLIo/01_07_2011_00_25_46_the_pennsylvania_academy_of_fine_arts_hosts_emerging_artist_hiro_sakaguchi.html?utm_source=feedburner_medium=email> Posted: 30 Jun 2011 10:25 PM PDT

Philadelphia, PA.- The Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts is proud to presents  "Hiro Sakaguchi: No Particular  Place To Go", on view at the museum until August 28th. The series of exhibitions  by emerging artists continues with a presentation of works by Philadelphia  artist Hiro Sakaguchi. A 1996 graduate of PAFA, Sakaguchi creates fictional  worlds in drawings, paintings, and sculptures where human endeavor and  interconnections are juxtaposed with natural forces in images that explore the  tension between dreams and reality. In Sakaguchi’s world, the violent event is  defused and diffused through the miraculous transformations that drawing and  painting can effect. The ammunition shot from tanks and planes in "Explosion  Flowers" (2010) bursts into a bouquet of colorful blooms, while a volcano erupts  in "Secret of Mt. Asama" (2010) like an engine spitting jetliners into the sky  and taking passengers to far off places.

Eva Struble's Third Solo Exhibition of Paintings at the Lombard Freid Projects <http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/artknowledge/~3/tu2i46wcmi4/30_06_2011_23_49_42_eva_strubles_third_solo_exhibition_of_paintings_at_the_lombard_freid_projects.html?utm_source=feedburner_medium=email> Posted: 30 Jun 2011 09:49 PM PDT

NEW YORK, NY.- Lombard Freid Projects presents Landsmen, Eva Struble’s third solo  exhibition of paintings at the gallery. Having explored decaying corners of  Baltimore, Brooklyn and Barcelona through a socio-environmental lens for  painting, Struble has returned her focus on an abandoned pocket of America’s  most populated city: the Brooklyn Navy Yard. With her audacious use of pinks,  reds and greens combined with a sensual application and removal of paint,  Struble continues to seduce the viewers as she investigates the edge of real  landscape and visceral abstraction. On view 30 June until 29  July.

The Woodlawn Cemetery Designated National Historic Landmark <http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/artknowledge/~3/nFxOrPqtNRA/30_06_2011_23_37_05_the_woodlawn_cemetery_designated_national_historic_landmark.html?utm_source=feedburner_medium=email> Posted: 30 Jun 2011 09:36 PM PDT

BRONX, NY.- Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar  today announced that The Woodlawn Cemetery has been  designated a National Historic Landmark—the highest  recognition accorded to the nation’s most historically significant properties.  Woodlawn, which will celebrate its 150th anniversary beginning next year, is one  of the nation’s finest examples of a 19th-century garden cemetery. It is home to  the largest and most distinguished collection of historic mausoleums in the  nation, and is a still active cemetery. The designation recognizes its  outstanding landscape design and collection of art and architecture. The  designation also recognizes Woodlawn’s significant role in memorializing and  celebrating prominent Americans, who shaped American history and culture. Since  Woodlawn’s founding in 1863, 310,000 people—from Gilded Age magnates to pioneers  for women’s rights to Harlem Renaissance writers and musicians, as well as  artists, athletes, and ordinary citizens— have been interred on the cemetery’s  400 acres.

STUTTGART, GERMANY - In the series "Open Archives"  the Staatsgalerie Stuttgart invites artists to work with its collection. The  series takes its starting points from the works and areas of the collection held  in the archives of the museum —usually closed to the public —and from a  discussion of the archive itself as a place of conservation and categorisation.  "Open Archives" shows what has never been shown, what is rarely or not currently  exhibited. From contemporary artistic and curatorial perspectives it activates  the contents of the extensive collection and archives of the Staatsgalerie Stuttgart. On view through 9  October.

The MKM is now showing the most comprehensive  exhibition to date of works by Hans-Christian Schink whose oeuvre has wielded a  crucial impact on German photography.

Tony Shafrazi Gallery Exhibits Revolutionary Film Posters from the Era of Russian Constructivism <http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/artknowledge/~3/s9WcCy4syuU/30_06_2011_22_39_10_tony_shafrazi_gallery_exhibits_revolutionary_film_posters_from_the_era_of_russian_constructivism.html?utm_source=feedburner_medium=email> Posted: 30 Jun 2011 08:38 PM PDT

NEW YORK, NY.- Tony Shafrazi Gallery is  presenting the exhibition, “Revolutionary Film Posters: Aesthetic Experiments of  Russian Constructivism, 1920-33,” a comprehensive  collection of rare and exquisite Russian film posters, on view through July 30.  Culled from the world’s largest collection of Russian Film Posters from the  great era of Constructivism, the 95 examples of the medium on view represent a  unique opportunity to survey how one of the most significant movements in the  early 20th Century avant-garde informed a radical graphic style that has had a  dramatic influence on the development of fine art and design over many  subsequent generations. Most of the work shown, though originally produced in  the hundreds, constitutes the only surviving examples, and few have ever been  publicly exhibited before.

The Whitechapel Gallery Shows Works From the British Government's Collection <http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/artknowledge/~3/N8rSdP5qCI0/01_07_2011_00_07_25_the_whitechapel_gallery_shows_works_from_the_british_governments_collection.html?utm_source=feedburner_medium=email> Posted: 30 Jun 2011 08:37 PM PDT

London.- The Whitechapel  Gallery is proud to present "Government Art Collection: At Work", the  first in a  planned series of exhibitions featuring seldom seen works from  the British Government's art collection. For over 100 years, the Government Art Collection has  acquired paintings, sculptures and work in other media to promote British art  and artists. Usually on display in more than 400 locations, such as embassies  and trade offices all over the globe, works from the Collection are now being  shown here for the first time in a British public art gallery. On exhibition  through 4 September, 2012.

Owned by the British public, the Government Art Collection exhibits  historical and contemporary art to visitors to government buildings in the UK  and most capital cities of the world. At Work is a selection from these  embassies and government departments that showcases the diverse nature of the  Collection, its locations and function. Highlights include a 16th-Century  portrait of Queen Elizabeth I, formerly on display in the Ministry of Justice;  the modern masterpiece "Lancashire Fair: Good Friday, Daisy Nook" by Mancunian  artist L.S. Lowry, recently  shown at 10 Downing Street; and the 1962 contribution by Derek Boshier to British Pop Art, "I  Wonder What My Heroes Think of the Space Race" – previously installed at the  British Embassy in Moscow.

The exhibition is curated by the Government Art Collection in collaboration  with the Whitechapel Gallery. Other artists featured range from Tracey Emin to Walter Richard Sickert and William Marlow to David Tindle. The selectors who have  chosen works are: Lord Boateng, former Government Minister and British High  Commissioner to South Africa; the Prime Minister’s wife Samantha Cameron; Deputy  Prime Minister Nick Clegg; Lord Mandelson, former Business Secretary; Dame Anne  Pringle, British Ambassador to Moscow; Sir John Sawers, Chief of the Secret  Intelligence Service; and Culture Minister Ed Vaizey. The first in a series of  five displays, "At Work" is part of the Whitechapel Gallery’s on going programme  opening up important public and private collections for everyone.

The Whitechapel Gallery is a public art gallery on the north side of  Whitechapel High Street, in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets. Designed by  Charles Harrison Townsend, it was founded in 1901 as one of the first  publicly-funded galleries for temporary exhibitions in London, and it has a long  track record for education and outreach projects, now focused on the Whitechapel  area's deprived populations. It exhibits the work of contemporary artists, as  well as organising retrospective exhibitions and shows that are of interest to  the local community.The Gallery exhibited "Guernica" by Pablo Picasso in 1938 as  part of a touring exhibition organised by Roland Penrose to protest the Spanish  Civil War. For the history of post-war British art, the most important  exhibition to have been held at the Whitechapel Gallery was This is Tomorrow in  1956. Initiated by members of the Independent Group, the exhibition brought  Pop Art to the general public  as well as introducing some of the artists, concepts, designers and  photographers that would define the Swinging Sixties.

Throughout its history, the Whitechapel Gallery had a series of open  exhibitions that were a strong feature for the area's artist community, but by  the early 1990s these open shows became less relevant as emerging artists moved  to other areas. In the later 1960s and through the 1970s, the critical  importance of the Whitechapel Gallery was displaced by newer venues such as the  Hayward Gallery, but in the 1980s the Gallery enjoyed a resurgence under the  Directorship of Nicholas Serota. The Whitechapel Gallery had a major  refurbishment in 1986 and has recently completed (April 2009) a two year  programme of work to incorporate the former Passmore Edwards Library building  next door, vacated when Whitechapel Idea Store opened, which has doubled the  physical size of the Gallery and nearly tripled available exhibition space, and  which will now allow the Whitechapel Gallery to remain open to the public year  round.

De        Niro’s efforts to reconcile the real with the abstract through the use of        brilliant draftsmanship, bold, Fauvist-inspired colors, and confident,        gestural brushwork stand as one of the great achievements in postwar        twentieth-century American painting.
