Art Lovers discussion

This will be a folder where we can advertise, announce, share any seminar, demonstration, exhibit, etc. that we have heard of, of which we are participating, or would just like to discuss.

For example, Monica would like to announce the following:

"I'm going to a gallery talk at the Met Wednesday May 11th at 10am The exhibit is ROOMS with a VIEW The Open Window in the 19th Century"

It's a great exhibit!! Thanks!

Than,ks Heather and Natalie I don't expect others to be there that early but I've only got a short time in the apple. My friend and I will be heading for the Guggenheim after lunch. I don't remember a restaurant at the G so will have check on line.

looks like a great exhibit! lucky! wish i could go to new york to see it!

I am having a show of 20 of my paintings at Swirl in downtown Santa Cruz. The show will be up until July 4. Reception July 1.

I really wish I could see it, Ed. I enjoy your work!

The ROOMS WITH A VIEW exhibit is undoubtedly a special gem. I'm hoping everyone who is able sees these paintings in person because of their incredible virtuosity and vibrancy. My first impression was surprise at how small the works are.

Danish, German, French and Norwegian artists, several who won the Prix du Rome, stayed at the Villa Medici and produced amazing self portraits and portraits of each other in their rooms, often embellishing the views out their windows with something grander than what was actually there. Produced after Friedrich's window paintings, (1805-6), these paintings are expressions of the romantic movement that moved away from history paintings that had dominated themes for the previous 200 years. Artists now painted the world around them.

My favorites were by Dahl, and a French artist whose name I can't remember and I'm sorry I think I misplaced my little notebook! Our gallery talk included an extra treat viewing several works by Friedrich and Dahl several galleries away on the same floor.

I'm not familiar with the Prix du Rome. Can you share a bit about that?

Sorry it's called the Prix de Rome a scholarship for art students http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prix_de_...

This was created in the height of Italiophilia in the French art establishment ("Rome"), where the classical and the Renaissance were the ideals for French painting. The Spanish, were NOT considered a model of good taste. (And Lord help us, El Greco especially!) This is covered a bit in The Judgment of Paris: The Revolutionary Decade that Gave the World Impressionism.

Note: Édouard Manet, Edgar Degas, Ernest Chausson and Maurice Ravel attempted the Prix de Rome, but did not gain recognition. Jacques-Louis David, having failed three years in a row, considered suicide.(Wikipedia)

Lunch at the WRIGHT restaurant in the Guggenheim was 5 star. My friend and I ate at the bar. I followed the bartender's recommendations and gave him a handsome tip for a LOVELY experience. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/31/din...

I'm helping coordinate the 3rd Annual Newfane Fine Art Show again this year! Newfane, VT, that is! If you are an artist in the tristate area (VT, NH, MA) and can travel to deliver and pick up, please submit images of your work. You may email me at newfaneart@gmail.com for Guidelines and Application or visit our website at http://www.newfanefineartshow.com/
Deadline for submissions is June 15th, show is on July 23rd and 24th!

Wow! I only wish I could be so close to the east! Sounds like a great show. Thank you for posting that, Gianna. Hope everything goes well.

Thank you Heather! It's small, but I think it's an evolving gem! It is a super amount of volunteer work for a two-day show. We do, however, have a Friday evening Artist's Reception now (and there are prizes).

Anyone going to or live in New York this week? There is a lot going on!

8 Art Events to Attend in New York City This Week

WEDNESDAY JUNE 27

Opening: “This Is Not a Prop” at David Zwirner



“This Is Not a Prop” considers the nuanced relationship between bodies and objects, and will feature work by Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Hannah Levy, Paulo Nazareth, Christina Quarles, Paul Mpagi Sepuya, and others. Included will be examples of the German artist Franz West’s furniture and his “Adaptives,” sculptures meant to be touched and held by viewers, which their creator viewed as being a way to understand how art can be a social experience. As part of “This Is Not a Prop,” the gallery will also present performances by Gordon Hall between July 10 and July 26.
David Zwirner, 525 and 533 West 19th Street, 6–8 p.m.

Opening: The Racial Imaginary at the Kitchen

"Organized by the poet Claudia Rankine’s organization the Racial Imaginary Institute and the Kitchen, this presentation, titled “On Whiteness,” comprises a group exhibition, performances, residencies, and a symposium that examines and questions the notion of “whiteness as a source of unquestioned power,” per a release. The exhibition considers the ways in which art can disrupt and reimagine prevailing ways of representing whiteness (and, by extension, blackness), and it includes work by Titus Kaphar, Glenn Ligon, Toyin Ojih Odutola, and Cindy Sherman, among others. Aspects of the project were inspired by philosopher Sara Ahmed’s essay “The Phenomenology of Whiteness,” in which she explores the many ways whiteness can shape institutions.
The Kitchen, 512 West 19th Street, 6–8 p.m."

Opening: “On the Periphery of Vision” at Jane Lombard Gallery

"Assembled by International Center of Photography curator Christopher Phillips, this group exhibition brings together five artists whose work focuses on the inarticulable everyday moments that often go unnoticed. Apichatpong Weerasethakul’s short film Ashes makes use of a 35mm camera to shoot a series of 20-second clips depicting a kind of ethereal mundanity, while Michelle Charles relies on painting, drawing, and photography to explore the formal properties of crystal balls. Also on view will be work from the Japanese artist Shimpei Takeda, who makes otherworldly gelatin silver photograms using a natural process inspired by the changing of the seasons in his home country, as well as Bae Youngwhan’s porcelain objects and Koo Donghee’s video Static Electricity of Cat’s Cradle.
Jane Lombard Gallery, 518 West 19th Street, 6–8 p.m.

Opening: “Painting: Now and Forever, Part III” at Greene Naftali and Matthew Marks Gallery

"The third edition of this sprawling collaborative survey—the first was staged in 1998 by Pat Hearn and Marks, the second in 2008 by the current organizers—makes an argument for the continued relevance of contemporary painting. The two galleries have assembled an exhibition featuring over 40 painters from around the world, including Nicole Eisenman, Gang Zhao, and Vija Celmins. Their work, which runs the gamut from process-based abstraction to internet-inspired figurative compositions, will be shown across five of the galleries’ spaces.
Green Naftali, 508 West 26th Street, Ground Floor and 8th Floor, 6–8 p.m.; and Matthew Marks, 522 and 526 West 22nd Street and 523 West 24th Street, 6–8 p.m.

THURSDAY, JUNE 28

Opening: “Putting Out” at Gavin Brown’s Enterprise

“Putting Out” is a group exhibition that explores the role sex and labor play in today’s world. “You may believe that you are not repressed, but you are,” artist Reba Maybury states in a press release accompanying the exhibition. “Sex and labour are now intertwined more than they ever have been, because there are invisible people out there doing the work for you.” Maybury, Leilah Weinraub, Juliana Huxtable, Sophia Al Maria, and Cosey Fanni Tutti are among those who’ve contributed work to the show.
Gavin Brown’s Enterprise, 291 Grand Street, 3rd Floor, 6–8 p.m.

Opening: “Intimacy” at Yossi Milo Gallery

"This exhibition is curated by Stephen Truax and draws on his Artsy essay “Why Young Queer Artists Are Trading Anguish for Joy,” which highlights a group of artists whose work has focused on sexuality and honesty. His exhibition will place an emphasis on intersectional identities and artists’ personal and political expressions of sex and the body. The 70-plus works featured here will draw on the legacy of the AIDS crisis during the 1980s and the increased visibility of members of the LGBTQI+ community today. Among the artists included in the show are TM Davy, Hugh Steers, Nan Goldin, Kia LaBeija, Elle Pérez, and David Wojnarowicz, whose Whitney Museum retrospective opens next month.
Yossi Milo Gallery, 245 10th Avenue, 6–8 p.m.

Opening: Condo New York at Various venues

"The New York edition of Condo—the gallery share program in which local venues host out-of-towners, who pay a minimal fee—returns to Manhattan for the second year in a row this week. Twenty-one New York galleries will turn over part or all of their space this year to 26 visiting outfits from locales as distant as Pristina, Kosovo, and Kolkata, India. Organized by Chapter NY owner Nicole Russo and Simone Subal Gallery founder Simone Subal, the program will include shows put on by such galleries as Nanzuka (of Tokyo), Galerie Crèvecoeur (of Paris), and Park View/Paul Soto (of Los Angeles and Brussels).
Various venues, 12–8 p.m.

SATURDAY, JUNE 30

Concert: Warm Up at MoMA PS1

"The first event in the Warm Up 2018 summer concert series will feature sets from Cashmere Cat, Venus X & Asmara, Valee, NÍDIA, Fuck U Pay Us, and Meriem Bennani. (Bennani is no stranger to PS1, having had her first solo museum show there in 2016.) For this year’s Warm Up series, MoMA PS1 has enlisted the duo Dream the Combine to transform the museum’s courtyard into an interactive playscape complete with oversized mirrors, a runway, and a hammock. Aptly, their new construction is called Hide & Seek.
MoMA PS1, 22-25 Jackson Avenue, Queens, 12–9 p.m. Advance tickets $12/$14/$18

Correction 6/25/18, 4:25 p.m.: An earlier version of this article misstated the opening date of “Painting: Now and Forever, Part III.” It is opening on Wednesday, June 27, not Thursday, June 28. The post has been updated to reflect this. Additionally, the post has been updated to reflect that dancers Sotiris Vasiliou and Thibault Lac are not participating in the High Line's Alexandra Bachzetsis performance, which is a solo work.

6 Classical Music Concerts to See in N.Y.C. This Weekend
By David Allen

1) JEAN-EFFLAM BAVOUZET at the Kaye Playhouse (July 18, 8 p.m.). Although this French pianist has been a notable, if understated, success on record with his sets of Debussy and Haydn, he does not appear in New York all that often. Performing as part of the International Keyboard Institute and Festival, he plays Schumann’s “Faschingsschwank aus Wien” and Piano Sonata No. 3, as well as Debussy, including several of the études.

2) BOSTON SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA at Tanglewood in Lenox, Mass. (July 13, 14 and 16, 8 p.m.; July 15, 2:30 p.m.). Make a very long weekend of your trip to the Berkshires with three Boston Symphony concerts and, as a postlude on Monday, an evening with the young players of the Tanglewood Music Center Orchestra. On Friday, Moritz Gnann leads Wagner, Schumann and Mozart, with the pianist Paul Lewis. On Saturday, Andris Nelsons conducts a semi-staged account of Puccini’s “La Bohème,” with Jonathan Tetelman as Rodolfo and Kristine Opolais as Mimì. Sunday afternoon sees Mr. Nelsons back on the podium for Mendelssohn, Bernstein and a Beethoven concerto with Yuja Wang. And on Monday, the venerable Herbert Blomstedt is joined by young conductors in a program of Mozart, Beethoven and Brahms.

3) CHAMBER MUSIC SOCIETY OF LINCOLN CENTER at Alice Tully Hall (July 15, 5 p.m.). The last of the Chamber Music Society’s three summer programs features Mozart’s Flute Quartet, K. 285b; Weber’s Flute Trio; and Schubert’s Piano Trio No. 1. The players are drawn from a team of five that includes the violinist Erin Keefe and the pianist Orion Weiss.

4) THE KNIGHTS at the Naumburg Bandshell (July 17, 7:30 p.m.). The Knights are the latest excellent chamber orchestra to appear in Central Park, following the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra and A Far Cry. The Brooklyn collective, conducted by Eric Jacobsen, plays a suite of Armenian folk songs by Komitas, Janacek’s “Idyll,” a handful of Brahms’s “Hungarian Dances” and Anna Clyne’s “Within Her Arms.” As ever, the concert is free.

5) MOSTLY MOZART FESTIVAL ORCHESTR at David Geffen Hall (July 17-18, 7:30 p.m.). Classical concerts at Mostly Mozart kick off with two performances of Bernstein’s “Mass,” an immense, careening, overflowing work teeming with different musical styles. Louis Langrée conducts a cast that includes Nmon Ford as the Celebrant, as well as the Concert Chorale of New York and the Young People’s Chorus of New York City. Elkhanah Pulitzer directs.

6) NATIONAL YOUTH ORCHESTRA OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA at Carnegie Hall (July 19, 7:30 p.m.). Michael Tilson Thomas is the conductor of the National Youth Orchestra this year, leading this teenage ensemble in one New York concert before its tour of the Far East. The main work on the program is Sibelius’s Symphony No. 2, which follows Gershwin’s Piano Concerto and the premiere of Ted Hearne’s “Brass Tacks.” Jean-Yves Thibaudet is the soloist.

I'll go to 1 and 3, please. - )

I’d go to 2&5. Interesting the difference in taste...

I'll go to 2 and 5! - )

Lol

"I'll go to 2 and 5!" Not "all". Sorry for the typo.

I still think the piano recital is the best bet. More intimate setting and probably a more interesting crowd. Good program too: R. Schumann and Debussy. - )

Definitely 2, 3 & 6. What a great lineup!

I completely forgot about this folder! I would like to bring it to life again since it has already been created. We have had many announcements and exhibits posted since 2018 when this folder was created, and we already had a specific place for those so let's use it! That way people will know exactly what your post is.

I will admit I am guilty of posting exhibit announcements in other places myself because I forgot about this folder. I announced the one about the van Gogh exhibit traveling around the world. That should have gone here in its own thread.

I don't want anyone to feel badly for putting any announcements in any other thread, because that is also totally fine!
I believe it would be because this one hasn't been used in so long and it was also near the bottom of all the many folders we have in the group and not all the folders show on the group page if they haven't been used in awhile.

So I don't blame anyone for posting any exhibit or announcement in any other folder.

From now on can we all just keep this folder in mind, that we have it now, and we can use it to announce any exhibits, or any other art engagements? I think this would help others know exactly what our post is about because It would be more specific, don't you think?

Thank you! I look forward to hearing about more art engagements from around the world! If only I could travel and visit them *sigh*
