Yalkut, Curated by Kathleen
Forde and organized by ICI, What Sound Does a Color Make? includes
artists who likewise use technology to inspire a renewed consciousness
of highly un-technological experiences: physicality, human cognition,
and perception. (Artistic interest inspired by the phenomenon known as
synesthesia, a condition in which one type of sensory stimulation
evokes the sensation of another, can be traced as far back as the
seventeenth century. For contemporary audiovisual artists, the
possibilities inspired by this phenomenon have expanded with the advent
of recent digital technologies that translate all electronic media,
whether sounds or moving images, into the zeros and ones of computer
bits.) at Eyebeam,

"What matters
for the journey which this series chronicles, is not arriving at some
final Beatific Vision but the more earthly, carnal dreams and visions
to be glimpsed along the way". Professor Stuart Hall, Chris
Ofili in Paradise: Dreaming in Afro, Within Reach, 2003. Afro Lunar
Lovers II, 2005 is the second in a series of three prints by Chris
Ofili in red, black and green and continues the cyclical love story
which began with his exhibition Freedom One Day in London in 2002 and
continued with within reach at the 50th Venice Biennale, 2003. The
paintings, works on paper and prints with their restricted
red-black-green palette, are all part of an ongoing body of work which
sees the Afro Lovers emerging in each new "scene" from an episodic and
incomplete narrative journey. Afro Lunar Lovers II is set in the
powerful, ancient landscape of Egypt. Standing before the pyramids at
night the couple now occupy adifferent time and are further into their
journey through paradise. The snake which was present but not visible
in the earlier print now appears as two entwined serpents. Whilst it
before could be sensed as a threatening presence they now represent a
more benign force of guardianship, binding and holding the couple
together as their tangled limbs gradually merge into a single form.
Afro Lunar Lovers II, 2005 will be pre-sold from May 24 and will be
available from mid July. Advance reservations can be placed via the
web. The print will be available to view at the Victoria Miro Gallery
from Tuesday 7 June. http://www.victoria-miro.com/afrolunarloversII/

- Photographer
Elizabeth Heyert creates post-mortem portrait in her new series of the
travelers on view at that when hooped Cabaret the Travelers and
exhibition of 30 post-mortem portraits by photographer Elizabeth Heyert
. Shot in a Harlem funeral parlor, the nearly life-size color
photographs evolved from her fascination with the practice of some
members of the Harlem community, people with traditional ties to their
church and to their Southern roots, of elaborately dressing in corpses
for burial. No matter the circumstances of their life, or death, the
departed are, in one undertakers words, "going to the party,"
-jubilantly dressed in its satin dresses, white suits, tuxedoes, and
magnificent hats, for their journey to paradise . Mesmerized by this
gorgeous preparation ritual for greeting life after death, hear
embarked on a project to photograph the beautifully coiffed and adorned
bodies as if she were making formal portraits of living beings.
Heyert's portraits offer a provocative meditation on humanity, dignity,
and death, while poignantly highlighting a fading your custom
associated with the changing Harlem community at Edwin Houk Gallery,
745 fifth Avenue, (Spooky, but really good!), 6-8pm

. r u b l e & d i r k . w e s t p h a l , the second annual
group show curated by art critic and independent curator Lilly Wei. For
a reprise of Crits' Pix at Black and White Gallery in the summer of
2004, Lilly Wei has been invited once again to suggest some younger
critics to curate a show based on emerging artists they believe are
particularly talented and topical. Megan Heuer, an editor of The
Brooklyn Rail and a frequent contributor to ARTnews picked Farrah
Karapetian and Roger White, artists who both explore the imperfections
of representation. Karapetian's recent photograms use everyday objects
to create images that document the chance inherent in the darkroom
process. In his watercolors of domestic spaces inhabited by his friends
and family, White paints his memory of a room to counter the
photographic record, which inevitably fails to capture the physical
sensation of a place. Diane Kagoyire, who writes for The Art Newspaper
chose Rachelle Cohen and Rex Enseki. Rachelle Cohens text-based work is
mostly blurred or otherwise obscured but permits revelatory glimpses;
she has been much influenced by Gerhart Richter and paintings that are
statements about ideas for paintings. Rex Ensekis abstractions depict
social scenes that focus on such elements as physical proximity, body
language, and the levels of energy that exist among a crowd or within a
solitary figure, free of extraneous distractions. Katie Stone, a
frequent contributor to The Brooklyn Rail and Frieze opted for Melissa
Dadourian. Beginning with vintage Playboy spreads, Dadourian explores
desire, idolatry, and temptation. She represents sultry women in
measured, sinewy strokes, often constructed in thread, and her
painstaking reinterpretations of the feminine physique infuse the work
with the palpable physical tension of seduction. Sarah Valdez, a
frequent contributor to Art in America, ARTnews, Paper and other
publications selected Michelle Elzay, Casey Ruble and Dirk Westphal who
explore the weird way humans, including themselves, project meaning and
esthetics onto animals. Through their work, these three New York-based
artists dig into, respectively, the foppishness of falconry, the way
people drag both creatures and ornamentation into conflict and the
uncanny, natural gorgeousness of tiny, territorial damselfish., 6-9pm
