Rebecca Rutstein (MFA '97) at George Billis Gallery in Los Angeles, on view through July 7th

Rebecca Rutstein is participating in a group show on view at the George Billis, Los Angeles gallery through July 7th. 

Rebecca's large scale paintings use geometric abstractions based on geography as a metaphors for the erosion and upheavals that shape her own life experiences and relationships. Her paintings gradually become complex layered typographies that play with scale and the relationship of micro to macro views. Through that process of layering and invention, her paintings become landscapes of systems, uninhibited by familiar rules of place, perspectival relationships, and gravity.

On View: June 1st - July 7th, 2013
Opening Reception: Saturday, June 1st, 5 -  8 PM

Demetrius Oliver (MFA '04) in "11 Dimensions" at Louis B. James in NY

Louis B. James announces the opening of 11 Dimensions, a collaborative exhibition featuring works by Titus Kaphar, Wardell Milan, and Demetrius Oliver.  The installation will mark the third time that the artists have juxtaposed their work beginning with their 2006 residency at the Studio Museum in Harlem. 

In this age where quantum physics plays an increasingly prominent role and theoretical mathematicians posit seemingly incomprehensible proofs of alternate dimensions, the three artists use the simple tools of their respective trades to create images and objects that feel paradoxically justified by the logic of some unknown dimension. The eleven recent works by Kaphar, Milan, and Oliver seek to explore the complexity and pliability of time in ways that upend our understanding of history and speak to the implausible through the poetic use of diverse materials.
 
In Oliver’s prints and sculptures, the terrestrial becomes cosmic, forcing us to reckon with the inability to depict the infinite through finite means. Relying on the prosaic and quotidian, materials are transformed in unexpected ways to describe distant phenomena. Using photography, painting and sculpture, all three artists collectively imagine a complex world where time and space are malleable.
 
During their year-long residency at the Studio Museum, the artists developed a strong friendship as a result of an unexpected synergy between their artistic pursuits. After their residency, they relocated to a shared studio in Chelsea, where they continued their exchange, inspired and challenged by each other.


Louis B. James is located at 143b Orchard St, NY.

Evan Nabrit & Dan O'Neill (MFA '14) are both exhibiting in "5 into 1," an annual juried sculpture show at Moore College of Art & Design in Philadelphia, PA

Dan O'Neill installing his art work.

Philadelphia Sculptors selected Adam Mazur to curate this year’s “5 into 1“ exhibition. Mazur chose work from graduating sculpture students, Aimee Gilmore and Marie Scavetti from Moore College of Art and Design, Jacintha Clark and Brian Artigue from Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, Mitchell Kay and Mariah Couper from The University of the Arts, Evan Nabrit and Dan O’Neill from University of Pennsylvania, and Kevin Mack and Brett Williams from Temple University’s Tyler School of Art. Selections were based upon aesthetics, artistic merit, and concept to create a cohesive display of the energetic and diverse creativity of Philadelphia’s emerging artists. 

Offering a different focus to current art Director of Fleisher/Ollman Gallery, Dr. Alex Baker will complement the exhibition with his presentation, “Gone Figurative: Contemporary Sculpture and the Human Form.” Asserting that sculpture has re-entered the vocabulary of contemporary art, Baker suggests that the proliferation of installation art may be beginning to subside as young artists return to traditional notions of sculpture, albeit in subversive ways. The public is invited to attend the free presentation at 1:30 PM and the opening reception, which follows from 3:15 – 5:30 PM. One student will be selected by Dr. Baker to receive the “Best in Show” award.

Moore College of Art and Design is located at 20th and the Parkway in Philadelphia. The exhibition will be open to the public from June 1 – July 20, 2013. Gallery hours during the exhibition: Monday-Friday at 11:00 AM – 7:00 PM, and Saturday 11:00 AM – 5:00 PM. The gallery is closed during all academic and regular holidays.

Additional support for this exhibition is provided by Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, Tyler School of Art, The University of the Arts, and University of Pennsylvania.

Marc Blumthal (MFA '08) Exhibits: The Flame and The Flower at NAPOLEON, Philadelphia, PA

In his show, The Flame and the Flower, Marc Blumthal explores the nature of the Freudian “Id” and “ego” in the American psyche.  Photographs and silkscreens are abstracted to question the mythology surrounding cultural iconography.

The works are presented on aluminum referencing the slickness and immateriality of the computer screen that disseminates these images, also bringing to mind questions of a mass cultural sub-conscious.

Jessica Vaughn (MFA '11) 2013 ISP Studio Exhibition, {TEMP} Gallery, New York, New York

Jessica Vaughn, Bundled Distribution. 81 images on vinyl, 2013

Jessica Vaughn will participate in the group exhibition for the 2012-13 Whitney Independent Studio Program.  Her latest project encompasses over 100 found images from the Internet, street corners in New York City, choreographed photographs taken in the studio, text and sculpture. 
 Over 50, 5”x7” images printed on vinyl will be exhibited for this installation.  Taking the format of a grid these postcard size images will sit alongside text documented during walks in New York City where she recorded sounds of vendors selling goods.  A sculpture wrapped in stretch plastic wrap will exist in proximity to this grid.  These images and text bring together the intimacies found in street hawkers who repurpose king size bed sheets into an object for selling and carrying faux luxury goods and cosmetics.  Found images of these street corners and vendors with their bundles next to constructed studio photographs (of plastic wrapped goods) are positioned together to reimagine competing histories of literal intimacy and a culture of resistance to normative forms of distribution in urban centers.

Matt Freedman Exhibits at Studio10, Brooklyn

Matt Freedman, Dead Man's Hand, 2013

Studio10 is pleased to present The Devil Tricked Me, an exhibition of work by Matt Freedman. The exhibition is organized around the recent publication of Relatively Indolent but Relentless, a graphic journal Freedman wrote last autumn.
 
In July 2012 Freedman learned that he had Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma, a rare and slow growing cancer. Treatment entailed thirty-five days of radiation and weekly doses of chemotherapy over seven weeks. Just before treatment, a friend gave Matt a blank notebook and suggested he should fill it up. Matt did complete the therapy and the notebook as well. He said, “It seemed like it would in the end give me the last laugh over my cancer treatment.” This exhibition serves to extend Freedman’s experience of his treatment, the subject of the journal, into the six months that have now passed between the end of treatment and this exhibition’s opening.
 
All thirteen works take as their subject bad luck. This idea is embodied in Freedman’s iconic constructions that portray folk admonitions. These signs seek to control bad luck by taking such precautions such as avoiding walking under ladders or opening umbrellas indoors. Another significant component of the show is the notion of disability. Freedman continues to feel side effects from his treatment as well as from the drugs he takes to quell those effects. Though functioning effectively, the fact that he should not drive because the narcotics would render him technically “under the influence” is for Freedman an objective marker of what he feels and knows to be true: He is not himself or at his best.
 
The idea of disability is communicated by hand written signs of explanation, which function as the conceptual framework for the exhibition. Freedman’s sign details the reasons for the restrictions he placed upon himself for the creation of the work: each work consists of totally “de-skilled” labor. He collected objects either from the street; broken umbrellas and cigarette stubs, or from his house and studio; A couch, a collection of pennies. He also allowed himself to use components from previous work repurposed for the show.

The Devil Tricked Me is on view from 05.10.13 -- 06.16.13.

Demetrius Oliver's (MFA '04) Terrestrial at Franklin Art Works, Minneapolis

Demetrius Oliver, 2013

Demetrius Oliver

Terrestrial

 

The New York artist will premier a video installation influenced by unmanned vehicles that explore the surface of distant worlds. The video Terrestrial takes place in a residential apartment. Scattered on the floor are quotidian materials extracted from the artist's lexicon that surveys the lower regions of space. Designed with special entrance doors to the Screening Room, two sculptural works accompany the single channel video.

Oliver uses prosaic objects like tea kettles, light bulbs and umbrellas to evoke poetic associations between physical materials and abstract ideas.  Both introspective and transformative, Oliver's practice investigates the cosmos from the vantage point of the artist's studio and the space of the gallery.

Terrestrial remain on view through Saturday, July 27, 2013.

Naomi Reis (MFA '05): Unnatural Selection at Tiger Strikes Asteroid, Brooklyn

Naomi Reis, 2013

TSA is pleased to present: Naomi Reis: Unnatural Selection

Unnatural Selection investigates nature and its representation: How have humans conquered and organized nature, both to understand it scientifically, and to use it strategically?

The exhibition opens on Borrowed Landscape (Tropics of Africa, Asia and the Amazon via Brooklyn), a large-scale vinyl print of a photograph taken at the Brooklyn Botanical Garden. It captures the spectacle of a simulated rainforest contained within a glass dome; we know that it is an artificial environment, yet we suspend disbelief and for a moment are transported to a distant tropical rainforest, a place very few of us will visit in person. Together with mixed media collages, paintings, live and artificial plants, and botanical drawings that reference 19^th-century scientific drawings in specimen trays, Unnatural Selection explores the pressure points where the natural world and the manufactured collide.

Unnatural Selection runs 05.17 -- 06.23.13.  
An opening reception will be held Friday, 05.17, 7-10 pm.

Ken Lum at Marc Jancou Contemporary

Ken Lum, Norgate Mall, 2013

Marc Jancou Contemporary is pleased to present works from Ken Lum’s Mini-Mall series for the first exhibition in its new location. Over the course of his thirty-year career, Lum has developed a large and complex body of work that focuses on the complexity of identity formation in both public and private realms. The exhibition will include works shown at the artist’s 2012 survey at the Vancouver Art Gallery as well as new pieces being presented for the first time.

Lum’s Mini-Mall works build upon ideas of subjectivity and community set forth in his earlier Shopkeeper (2000-2009) series, exhibited last year at Jancou in Geneva. The Shopkeeper series comprises individualized sign-like works for fictitious but plausible urban communities marked by immigration flux and economic turmoil. The Mini-Mall series calls attention to community formation within the parameters of the sign form itself. The works point to the diverse and changing ethnic and economic demographics of the neighborhoods to which they serve.

The exhibit is the second collaboration between Laumeier and Longue Vue House and Gardens in New Orleans. Marilu Knode, Laumeier’s Executive Director said, “this is the first time the connections between our two cities have been explored through the visual arts.

Adhocracy Featuring Orkan Telhan at New Museum

Adhocracy brings together an international group of designers, practitioners, networks, and platforms responding to epochal changes and questioning the very definition of design. 

The exhibition explores a new direction in contemporary design through twenty-five projects—presented through artifacts, objects, and films. In the place of standardized, industrialized perfection, the exhibition embraces imperfection as evidence of an emerging force of identity, individuality, and nonlinearity in design. As design welcomes the new technologies of the information age, the field itself is being reshaped. Some have built their practice around the collaborative ideology of the open source movement; others explore the opportunities opened up by new low-cost fabrication technologies. Some are exploring new economic models of production; others are challenging the established hierarchies between designers and end-users.

Curated by Joseph Grima, Editor of DOMUS magazine, Adhocracy was originally organized by Grima and IKSV for the 2012 Istanbul Design Biennial. Grima has adapted his original exhibition for New York and the New Museum and opens as part of the second biennial IDEAS CITY Festival in downtown Manhattan from May 1–4, 2013.

Sitting Between the Sea and the Buildings, named after the first line of John Ashbery's "The Painter," is organized by the Joan Mitchell Foundation and Poetry magazine in connection with the exhibition currently on view at the Poetry Foundation: Joan Mitchell: At Home in Poetry. The exhibition features a large-scale quadriptych painting, Minnesota (1980), as well as photographs, correspondence, print portfolios, and artists' books Joan Mitchell created in collaboration with poets.

Martha Rich (MFA '11) Exhibits at Space 1026, Philly

Martha Rich

Martha Rich (MFA '11) will present new work with Keith Warren Greiman in Nothing is Rather Do.  Since receiving her MFA, Rich has been eavesdropping and collecting words and using them in her paintings. “My art is about what cracks me up and what disturbs me or what is absurd or what is at hand. Social acceptance? No. Self-acceptance? Yes. It’s a lesson in the ridiculous.”

Rich work uses collaged People magazine parts, paints on rejected CMYK screen prints of a rejected painting done years ago, includes silhouettes of friends and strangers and many of the eavesdropped conversations she has collected over the years to create an absurd narrative of life in the modern city.

Nothing is Rather Do opens 04.05.13.

Julia Barbosa Landois (MFA '07) Exhibits at Guadalupe Cultural Arts Center, TX

A video by Julia Barbosa Landois (MFA '07) will be featured in bite like a kitty, an exhibition curated by Bill Arning, Executive Director of the Contemporary Art Museum Houston.  The exhibition will also feature works by Saintlorraine (Britt Lorraine and Kristy Perez), Joey Fuerso, and Sarah Sudhoff. 

From Arning's curatorial statement: "Julia Barbosa Landois reframes the hyper-romantic language of an anti-love song of betrayal to transform it into an indictment of religiously supported sexism, describing what the artist terms her “break up from Jesus.” The melody creates one irresistible reality as her textual revisions refuse the romantic readings."
