• Michael Elmgreen & Ingar Dragset: End Station, The Bohen Foundation will open its latest commissioned project, a site-specific installation by Michael Elmgreen & Ingar Dragset titled End Station, with a preview reception on Saturday, March 12, from 6 to 8 PM.

  End Station transforms the entire lower level of the Foundation into an abandoned, ghost-like subway station. After crossing the existing grating and descending the metal staircase, viewers turn a corner to find themselves standing on the platform, looking at the tracks, benches and signage of a typical New York City subway station, but one that has been stopped in time. Incorporating subtle hints of a bygone era such as a 1980s poster or tags of graffiti, End Station toys with our memories of a former New York,one that is familiar but indefinable. In End Station, Elmgreen & Dragset continue to explore their interest in location and site specificity. The installation is appropriately situated in the Meatpacking District, which has its own ghosts and few remaining pieces of history.

  Like much of their earlier work, End Station forces a re-examination of space and the typical expectations of walking into an art exhibition are completely altered. An environment developed for intellectual and aesthetic curiosity is now representative of the most public and utilitarian of spaces. As stated by Beatrix Ruf, in their work [Elmgreen & Dragset] formulate the presentation, presence and representation of structures as a stopping point, a break which offers an opportunity for redefinition or individualized definition of their use. Whats more, they prompt curiosity about the presence of the viewer. Someone was here, someone will be here; something was here, something will be here. (Kunsthalle Zurich, 2002).

  Michael Elmgreen (Denmark) & Ingar Dragset (Norway) live in Berlin and have been working together since the mid-1990s. They have had numerous exhibitions around the world, including solo shows at the Tate Modern, London, the Fondazione Nicola Trussardi in Milan, Portikus in Frankfurt, and the Fundacion la Caixa in Barcelona. They have also participated in various biennials such as Venice, Sao Paulo and Berlin. This spring they are included in a group show at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago and have an installation at the Wrong Gallery in Chelsea. CoCo 144 & Ghost appear by special arrangement with Martinez Gallery End Station will be on view at the Bohen Foundation through July 1, 2005, and is open to the public Tuesday through Friday from 12 to 6 PM. For more information, please call 212.414.4575.

• Brooklyn!!! Armory Show Weekend.
  WGA (Williamsburg Galleries Association) open until 11 PM.

  Each venue hosts its own independent mini-event. From the outrageous to the smart.

  And don't miss this special opening:
  OpenGround and Galerie Scherer8 proudly present Williamsburg Wedding, an organically initiated international exchange between artists in Brooklyn and Berlin.

  Late-night after-parties to follow at secret venues. Check with your favorite galleries for details.

  For map and orientation, go directly to the Greeting Center at Spike Hill Bar and Grill, 184 Bedford Ave., directly across from the Bedford Stop on the L train. There, you will find information on all the galleries and locals on hand to point the way.

  Williamsburg is five minutes by subway from Union Square. Seven, by taxi. New York's epicenter of emerging art explodes with new galleries every month. At 48 and counting, it has never been stronger.

  This is the third annual After-Hours, an official Williamsburg Gallery Association event. Working to galvanize the diversity and vitality of this internationally recognized epicenter of emerging art, the Williamsburg Gallery Association (WGA) liaises with museums, artists, writers, and other galleries and organizations around the world. Founded in 2002 with 23 charter members, the WGA serves to promote the artists and programs of its members through advertising, public programs, and collaborative events that reach out both citywide and beyond. Membership is open to galleries located in the Brooklyn neighborhoods of Williamsburg and Greenpoint who are primarily dedicated to exhibiting contemporary art.

• For Immediate ReleaseTHE ART SHOW 2005, ORGANIZED BY
  THE ART DEALERS ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA (ADAA),
  REPORTS EXTRAORDINAY SALES,
  OPENING GALA PREVIEW RAISES RECORD $1 MILLION
  FOR HENRY STREET SETTLEMENT
  New York, March 8, 2005 — The nation’s leading art galleries came together for one of the most successful art fairs in their history at the Seventh Regiment Armory in New York City during the last week of February. Organized by the Art Dealers Association of America (ADAA), to benefit Henry Street Settlement, The Art Show 2005, which concluded its five-day run on Monday, February 28, reported extraordinary sales and drew rave reviews. This year’s Show of 70 ADAA galleries was also notable for its increased presentation of an outstanding selection of museum quality contemporary paintings, sculpture, drawings, prints, photography and video.
  The Art Show Gala Preview, held Wednesday, February 23, attracted a glittering crowd of art world, business and media leaders including numerous celebrities. The event raised a record amount (more than $1,000,000) for Henry Street Settlement, a pioneering social services and arts agency located on New York’s Lower East Side.
  “The 2005 Art Show was attended by markedly younger audience, and met with an enthusiastic reception,” noted Richard Solomon, President of both the ADAA and Pace Prints. “It was considered by many to be the most diverse, contemporary and exciting Art Show in years. The dealers were ecstatic.”
  “Unequivocally, the collectors had nothing but great praise for The Art Show,” said Roland Augustine, Chair of The Art Show committee and partner in Luhring Augustine.
  Despite two snowstorms, more than 12,000 attended the show from the preview on Wednesday, February 23 through the last day on Monday, February 28, including top collectors, museum curators and critics. Celebrities have always flocked to The Art Show and this year an outstanding group came to see the Show, including Steve Martin, Katie Couric, Jerry Stiller, Tracey Ulman, Bianca Jagger, Salman Rushdie, Ben Gazzara, Mike Nichols and Anthony Edwards. Artists and artworld luminaries are also easy to spot, among them Glenn D. Lowry, Leonard A. Lauder, Steve Cohen, Agnes Gund, Donald Marron, David Ganek, Aby Rosen, Christopher Wool, Chuck Close, Will Barnet, and Yoko Ono all put in appearances this year.
  “The success of The Art Show will provide great assistance to Henry Street Settlement’s efforts to offer essential programs and services to the people of the Lower East Side,” noted Jeffrey Tucker, Co-Chair, Henry Street Settlement Art Show Committee. “We thank the dealers of the ADAA for helping achieve this goal.”Sales Highlights
  A number of dealers at The Art Show reported sold-out shows. At Pace Wildenstein, New York, the Isamu Noguchi solo exhibition was a complete sell out. Noguchi is the sixth solo exhibition organized by the gallery for The Art Show.

All of the original work by Wool had sold out. In addition, Luhring Augustine oversaw the publication of a new print that was sold solely for the benefit of Henry Street Settlement. The Christopher Wool aquatint is available for $1,500 and 28 were sold at the show.

Similarly, in the artist’s "Sireno del Rio de la Plata", a male siren reposes at a beach that has become a public and industrial garbage dump.  El Sireno looks melancholically into the camera and his expression establishes an immediate and sharp contrast between the impossibility of encountering this beautiful siren in the devastated environments of our contaminated shorelines.) at White Box, 525 W. 26th St.. 6-8 (translation- Hunky male escorts let it all hang out!)
