The Astrup Fearnley Museum of Modern Art Hosts "Surrounding Bacon and Warhol" Posted: 06 Aug 2011 12:12 AM PDT Oslo.- The Astrup Fearnley Museum of Modern Art is proud to present "Surrounding Bacon and Warhol", on view at the museum until October 2nd. This exhibition takes Francis Bacon (1909–1991) and Andy Warhol (1928–1987) as its starting point. Bacon and Warhol were two great artists of the 20th century with very different approaches to creativity, to the processes of working, to the nature of images and to the notion of art in general. Bacon, who painted in the first person, transferred his visceral energy and enigmatic symbols and metaphors directly to the canvas, while Warhol, who worked in the third person, adopted existing forms and figures from the media and made them his own through various techniques of reproduction. And while Bacon belonged to a long and rich tradition of Expressionistic painters, Warhol marked the beginning of a new, more distanced development in contemporary art – Pop. Both produced meaningful works, however, that are ambiguous, complex and highly influential. In this exhibition, key works by Bacon and Warhol will engage in an intelligent dialogue with those by some of the many different painters who have worked on the borderline between these two artistic languages, developing their own vocabularies with an emphasis on the manipulation and transgression of images, creating direct and indirect actions and narratives. On the one hand, the spectator will be drawn into the seduction of a painterly expression that often adopts a provocative thematic, and on the other, will be challenged by the philosophical approach of artists who distance themselves from their subject matter. The result are a fascinating exploration of the reach and influence of these two important tendencies in painting – Expressionism and Pop art – during the 20th century and beyond. Artists featured in the exhibition include Eduardo Arroyo, Francis Bacon, Peter Blake, Ross Bleckner, Bjørn Carlsen, Patrick Caulfield, Mirodrag Djuric Dado, Jim Dine, Carroll Dunham, Erró, Øyvind Fahlström, David Hockney, Jörg Immendorf, Olav Christopher Jenssen, Jens Johannessen, Allen Jones, Anselm Kiefer, Martin Kippenberger, Per Kirkeby, Ronald Brooks Kitaj, Markus Lüpertz, Malcolm Morley, Odd Nerdrum, Sigmar Polke, Gerhard Richter, Larry Rivers, Knut Rose, Bjørn-Sigurd Tufta, Vladimir Velickovic and Andy Warhol. Astrup Fearnley Museum of Modern Art is a private art museum founded in October 9, 1993. The museum is based on an exquisite collection of international contemporary art. The collections main focus is the American appropriation artists from the 1980s, but it is currently developing towards the international contemporary art scene, with artists like Jeff Koons, Richard Prince, Cindy Sherman, Matthew Barney, Tom Sachs, Doug Aitken, Olafur Eliasson and Cai Guo-Qiang. The museum gives 4-5 temporary exhibitions each year. Astrup Fearnley Museum of Modern art aims at being an international museum of high quality. The museum collaborates with international institutions, and produces exhibitions that travels worldwide. The Astrup Fearnley Museum is also very much preoccupied with relations between the museum and the public, and have recently been able to offer free admission. The museum is working towards new communication structures with information via mobile telephone and museum hosts. The museum collection is based on a private collection that goes back thirty years, and has developed with the changes in modern/contemporary art. There has been an interest in German Abstract Expressionism, English modern painting, and the "Young British Artists" to mention a few areas. Presently the collection is orientated towards the young American art scene. It also encompasses works pertaining to the steadily increasing global art community. The main areas of curatorial expertise in the museum are art from the 1960s to the present, including American and European pop-art, post modern appropriation art of the 1980s and international contemporary art.

The Crown Gallery Shows the Artwork of Horror-Master Clive Barker Posted: 05 Aug 2011 11:11 PM PDT Carlisle, UK.- The Crown Gallery is proud to host the first British exhibiton of artwork by Clive Barker. "Clive Barker, Imaginer" will be on view at the gallery through August 23rd. Clive Barker has worked for over twenty five years as an 'Imaginer'. He was discovered with a quote from Stephen King in 1984 who said; "I have seen the future of horror and his name is Clive Barker," which heralded the release of 'The Books of Blood.' These books were issued with six covers painted by Barker to illustrate his stories and characters. In 1987 Clive Barker adapted his short story 'The Hellbound Heart' into the horror masterpiece Hellraiser which brought the world his character of Pinhead, who would go on to star in eight sequels before the 2012 remake hits our screens. Few people actually know that Hellraiser only exists because Clive Barker sold his story to the studios with six ink drawings depicting the Cenobites and the character of Frank transforming, as the horror within the story comes to life on the big screen.

LeBasse Projects Presents a Collaborative Exhibition by Risk and COOZ Posted: 05 Aug 2011 05:04 PM PDT Culver City, CA.- LeBasse Projects is pleased to present "Risk and COOZ: That Was Then, This Is Now", on view at the gallery from August 20th through September 3rd. "That Was Then, This Is Now" is the first major collaborative exhibition by Kelly Graval and Nathan Ota, aka Risk and COOZ. The traveling exhibition reunites these artists whose friendship began before they would respectfully become graffiti legends in the streets and revered artists in galleries and museums internationally. Risk and Nathan Ota collaborated together over 25 years ago when they were classmates in high school. After high school, they went their separate ways but reconnected once again through their mutual friends in the artist community. Two friends with similar beginnings have taken two very different paths are now back together again with new skill, understanding and maturity as artists. The artists' collaborations were initially revived when Nathan Ota invited RISK to join him as part of an exhibition with apparel brand Hurley at their corporate offices. The success of that show led to the commitment from both to continue their work together and launched the first stop of this traveling exhibit at San Francisco's 11 Minna – a stalwart of the City's arts scene. For years, Nathan Ota has been pursuing new worlds, both dark and fantastic, to explore in his paintings. Ota has used his stand-ins – a blind bird, a drunk monkey, a one-eyed robot lost in the woods – to travel through dreamlands that hold fantasies and tragedies, even landing him in the unlikeliest destination – the world inside the artist's own studio. Nathan majored in Illustration and received his Bachelors degree at Art Center College of Art and Design, Pasadena Ca. 1993. Ota currently teaches at Otis College of Art and Design and Santa Monica City College. In a career spanning 28 years, RISK has impacted the evolution of graffiti as an art form worldwide. Risk is one of the most prolific graffiti artists to date. Los Angeles based, RISK gained major notoriety for his unique style and pushed the limits of graffiti further than any writer in L.A. had before: He was one of the first writers to paint freight trains, freeways, buses and he pioneered writing on "heavens," or freeway overpasses. At the peak of his career he took graffiti from the streets and into the gallery with the launch of the Third Rail series of art shows and later parlayed the name into the first authentic line of graffiti-inspired clothing - which led to the birth of the street wear genre. Risk focuses on the traditional aesthetics of letter formation. He combines this with his unique deconstruction and color layering to achieve a visual texture of color and surroundings. Graval majored in Fine arts at the University of Southern California, Los Angeles Ca. 1992. The art of RISK is currently on exhibition in both the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles and the Pasadena Museum of California Art. LeBasse Projects is focused on the development of a carefully selected roster of international emerging artists. Since opening its doors in the Culver City Art District in 2009, LeBasse Projects has presented a program that fosters the growth of its artists by allowing them the freedom to create across a range of mediums. In March 2011, LeBasse Projects expanded its gallery footprint with a second location in Los Angeles historic Chinatown Gallery District. Along with a series of international exhibitions, LeBasse Projects is putting forth an ambitious program of some of the most cutting edge work in new contemporary art today.

The Fitzwilliam Museum will celebrate "Endless forms" ~ Charles Darwin Bicentenary Posted: 05 Aug 2011 04:48 PM PDT Cambridge, UK - The fascinating interchange between the revolutionary theories of Charles Darwin (1809–1882) and art of the late nineteenth century is explored in a ground-breaking interdisciplinary exhibition opening at The Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge in Summer 2009. Organised by The Fitzwilliam Museum in association with the Yale Center for British Art—two of the world's leading university art museums — "Endless forms"  will coincide with the global celebration of the bicentenary of the birth of naturalist Charles Darwin and the 150th anniversary of the publication of his book, On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection (1859). The exhibition will show at the Yale Center for British Art from 12 February – 3 May 2009, and at The Fitzwilliam Museum from 16 June to 4 October 2009. The idea of a link between Darwin, the scientist, and the visual arts is at first surprising. Yet, as this landmark exhibition demonstrates, Darwin was highly receptive to the visual traditions he inherited. In turn, his ideas about the natural world and man's place in it had a profound impact on European and American artists of the late nineteenth century. By opening a new perspective on man and his origins, Darwin's theories of evolution and natural selection provided fertile territory for the creative imagination. Artistic responses were wide-ranging: from imaginative projections of prehistory to troubled evocations of a life dominated by the struggle for existence to fantastic visions of life-forms in perpetual evolution. Darwin's response to the beauties of the natural world also permeated artistic images of color and pattern in nature, particularly his theories concerning protective camouflage and sexual display.  In Darwin's day scientific discoveries were widely discussed by the public at large. William Dyce's iconic Pegwell Bay and early photographs by William Henry Fox Talbot show just how directly his contemporaries engaged with new research in geology and paleontology. Darwin began his career as a naturalist in the field of geology and was impressed by emerging theories about the age of the earth and the forces that had shaped its crust. In the exhibition, this changing view of the landscape is reflected in the shift from paintings (by J.M.W. Turner and Thomas Cole) that evoke biblical notions of a universal flood to those by John Brett, Thomas Moran, Paul Cézanne, and Claude Monet, which focus on landscape features shaped by the action of dynamic natural forces such as glaciers, geysers, and erosion. For Darwin, the great age of the earth had made possible the slow evolution of species by "natural selection." This could only happen through an endless "struggle for existence" among animals and humans. Many artists of the nineteenth century shared Darwin's fascination with the idea of struggle, and they were increasingly influenced by Darwin's vision of the complex interplay among all living things. Examples range from Sir Edwin Landseer's scenes of nature "red in tooth and claw" to the lyrical paintings of the great Swedish wildlife artist Bruno Liljefors. The struggle also took on a human guise, in pictures of the dark underside of Victorian society by Luke Fildes and Hubert von Herkomer. In his seminal book On the Origin of Species, Darwin hinted at man's ape origins, a theory that was famously, and controversially, spelled out in The Descent of Man (1871). Artists and the public at large soon reacted to the disturbing implications of this theory. Satirical caricatures abounded, but imaginative images of prehistoric life by academic painters and illustrators (Fernand Cormon and Ernst Griset) also proliferated, as well as visions of human ancestry that were more fantastic and introspective, such as Odilon Redon's rare lithographic series, Les Origines. In formulating his theory of natural selection, Darwin also set out to explain the "preservation of favored races in the struggle for life." A remarkable series of anthropological photographs explores the new concepts of race and human cultural development that emerged in response to his ideas. Elsewhere, artists reacted to the disturbing possibility that humankind could regress as well as progress. Most notable in this respect is Edgar Degas who, after reading Darwin's works, explored the possibilities of degeneration in a series of images of criminals and dancers. A wealth of paintings, drawings, and sculpture will explore the ways in which Darwin's ideas of man's relation to animals, particularly apes, shook religious belief and redefined man's place in the natural world. Visual sources used by Darwin for his Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals (1872) are drawn from the collections of original Darwin material at Cambridge University Library, which will be on display to the public for the first time. The exhibition will also explore what Darwin found beautiful in the natural world, especially the courtship behavior of birds and its analogy to sexual attraction in humans. These ideas are played out in the work of artists as diverse as James Tissot, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Martin Johnson Heade, and Edward Lear.  "Endless forms" brings together a remarkable variety of nearly two hundred objects and works of art, including paintings, drawings, sculpture, early photographs, caricatures, illustrated books, and a spectacular range of natural history specimens. It features loans from more than one hundred institutions, including Tate Britain; the British Museum; the J. Paul Getty Museum; the National Gallery, London; the Smithsonian Museum of American Art; the Natural History Museum, London; the National Gallery of Art, Washington; the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; the Philadelphia Museum of Art; the Peabody Museum of Natural History, Yale University; Nationalmuseum Stockholm; the Louvre; and Musée Marmottan, Paris; as well as from private collections. In this way "Endless Forms" unites world-renowned masterpieces by artists such as Monet, Degas, Cézanne, Turner, Church, and Landseer, with intriguing works by fascinating, lesser-known artists such as Bruno Liljefors and Félicien Rops. A notable feature of the exhibition will be the telling juxtaposition of art works and scientific material, from maps of geological stratification and botanical teaching diagrams to colored ornithological specimens and a dazzling array of minerals. CATALOGUE : A fully illustrated publication, edited by Diana Donald and Jane Munro, will be published by The Fitzwilliam Museum and the Yale Center for British Art in association with Yale University Press (January 2009). CREDITS :"Endless Forms": Charles Darwin, Natural Science, and the Visual Arts has been organised by The Fitzwilliam Museum, University of Cambridge, in association with the Yale Center for British Art. The exhibition has been curated by Diana Donald, independent scholar and former Professor of Art History and Head of the Department of History of Art and Design at Manchester Metropolitan University, and Jane Munro, Curator of Paintings, Drawings, and Prints at The Fitzwilliam Museum. The organizing curator at the Yale Center for British Art is Elisabeth Fairman, Senior Curator of Rare Books and Manuscripts.

Spencer Sweeney's "Egyptian Diving Board" at Gavin Brown's Enterprise Posted: 05 Aug 2011 04:45 PM PDT NEW YORK, NY.- The Gavin Brown's Enterprise presents the second part of Spencer Sweeney's unprecedented exhibition "Egyptian Diving Board". Sweeney is a seminal figure in the culture of 21st century New York. In a city where all creativity must be packaged and branded and then protected against risk, Sweeney has consistently avoided category. What he is matters less than what he does. In our opinion he has carried the standard for a city of the imagination - a city that barely exists anymore. A city that he came to from Philadelphia, and a city in which he still resides. On exhibition 10 April through 24 April.
