BRUCE CONNER at Susan Inglett Gallery To: email@email.com
THE LATE BRUCE CONNER
28 January 13 March 2010
is pleased to present
The late work of Bruce Conner, the first actually posthumous exhibition
for Bruce Conner at Susan Inglett Gallery, 522 West 24 Street,
from 28 January to 13 March 2010.
Bruce Conner was no stranger to death. On September 12, 1959, the first
exhibition of THE LATE BRUCE CONNER opened at the Bay Area Spatsa
Gallery. While the work was in fact late work, to Conners mind every
piece, whether collage or assemblage, was composed of objects that had
experienced a previous life. The Gallery represented a sepulcher
containing beings no longer of this world, intended to be revered and
worshipped from afar.
Spatsa was but Conners first foray into the after life; in 1964 Conner
was the subject of a solo exhibition at the infamous Batman Gallery.
For the occasion, he organized a three day 24-Hour a Day Art Show
whereby he would live in the gallery. After three days the stone was
rolled away and Conner emerged, reborn. Surviving to 1972, when
irritated by the relentless offers to appear in Whos Who in America,
Conner responded via return mail that he was dead. In 1973, Whos Who in
America dutifully recorded the death, untimely to be sure.
For this first actually posthumous exhibition for Bruce Conner at Susan
Inglett Gallery, the gallery will exhibit the late collage work of the
late Bruce Conner in the main gallery accompanied by film in Gallery
II. Infused with the clarity that is said to accompany the end of life,
these wood engraving collages are assuredly the most magnificent and
moving work of Conners lifetime. Accompanied by what was intended to be
his last finished masterwork in film, Easter Morning, the exhibition
reaches a visual transcendence as we follow the artist through a
metaphysical quest towards renewal and rebirth.
The exhibition will parallel an appearance of Conner film excerpts on
the MTV HD Screen at Times Square, courtesy of Creative Time.
The exhibition will be on view at Susan Inglett Gallery, located at 522
West 24th Street Tuesday to Saturday 10 AM to 6 PM. For additional
information, please contact Susan Inglett Gallery at 212.647.9111, fax

PROW and ANTI-PROW A Collaborative Project with Olav Westphalen at Sara

10013 Sara Meltzer Gallery is pleased to present The Prequel, the first
solo exhibition of PROW in a commercial setting. PROW is a
collaborative entity founded by artists Peter Rostovsky and Olav
Westphalen. Rostovsky was born in St. Petersburg, Russia and lives and
works in Brooklyn, New York. Westphalen was born in Hamburg, Germany
and lives and works in Stockholm, Sweden.
Proposing that much of contemporary art production has become a
province of the entertainment industry, PROW structures itself like an
independent movie studio; as a collective production effort that
produces various types of spectacle. Mimicking the collective nature of
cinematic production, PROW contests the art worlds standardized
distinction between authorship and fabrication by crediting all of its
contributors for their respective participation in the final creation.
The works in The Prequel address this communal structure and offer a
regenerative perspective on our moment in history and in art production.
While the exhibition at times strikes a ominous chord, it nevertheless
points to the hope offered through new virtual communities and modes of
collectivity. Understanding these new forms of collectivity as part and
parcel of a globalized spectacle and an image-recycling culture, the
series Sequels offers deadpan renditions of faux movie posters of
sequels devoid of originals. Also included in the exhibition is a large
stage fire, an entertaining prop cum-sculpture that offers as much a
symbol of the end of things as of a potential rebirth.
A complimentary idealistic perspective is manifest in the drawings that
line the walls. Derived from Googles open source 3d Warehouse where
frequently anonymous contributors post rudimentary 3d models for
anyones use, the drawings reflect, both, the fantasy of remaking the
world in model form as well as the utopian dream of an open source
wiki-culture." These drawings embed authorship in an endless stream of
images and collective contribution: a virtual world of fragmentary and
shifting authorial identity both administered and individuated through
personal use.
Running concurrently with the exhibition The Prequel is Anti-Prow, on
view at Art in General January 22 March 20, 2010. Anti-Prow was
developed specifically for Art in General, a nonprofit organization, to
counter the presentation at Sara Meltzer Gallery, a context in which
PROW is operating according to the objective of a commercial
enterprise. Anti-Prow takes the manifesto as a point of departure,
addressing fantasies of empowered authorship and rational control in
the creative process. For further information please visit
www.artingeneral.org
Anti-Prow
Anti-Prow is a project by Prow the collaborative duo Peter Rostovsky
and Olav Westphalen that addresses fantasies of empowered authorship
and rational control in the creative process. Taking the artists
manifesto as a starting point, Prow presents a series of hand-drawn
portraits, sculptural assemblage, and wallpapered collage that test the
boundaries of both self-proclaimed definition and open-ended
experimentation, as realized by Anti-Prows contrasting collaborative
process. Anti-Prow investigates the contradictions, doubts and folly
that accompany any moment of artistic proclamation (or collective
action), but that are almost always repressed in the stultifying
performance of seriousness that constitutes a finished and professional
artistic practice.

http://www.cabinetmagazine.org/information/visit.php Rope-a-dope is a
knockout performance which revisits the events around the infamous
Rumble in the Jungle boxing match that took place in Zaire in 1974
pairing the charismatic Muhammad Ali and reigning world champion George
Foreman. Expect issues of politics, identities, religion and economics
to be thrashed out in what promises to be grueling and intense
performances by Brooklyn based artists A. K. Burns and Kenya
(Robinson). Rope-a-dope, a fighting strategy adopted by Ali to defeat
Foreman, is based on the idea of letting an adversary exhaust
themselves by enduring their blows before rising up and triumphing over
them. Following this historical encounter of 35 years ago and the
events surrounding it, the term and strategy has since been adopted in
the public sphere to reference similar strategies in politics, business
negotiations and personal relationships.
The terms revival during president Obamas electoral campaign in which
he patiently submitted to the flailings of his opponents only to swing
back harder, invites us to revisit a historic moment with a return to
the ring. The artists will perform their interpretation of rope-a-dope,
reflecting the way sports informs our understanding of contemporary
global politics as well as rituals of self-preservation.
This event will be accompanied by an installation of documents and
materials directly and indirectly connected to the fight showing, among
other things, the rivalry between Joe Frazier and Muhammad Ali, Mobutu
Sese Sekos reign in the Zaire of the 1970s (now Democratic Republic of
Congo), the fight promoter Don Kings organizing tactics and the sting
of Alis rants.
About the artists:
A.K. Burns is a Brooklyn based artist, who grounds her work in feminist
and queer discourse addressing issues of power, sites of control and
knowledge production. Her works include sculptural elements, video and
performance, which together form installation pieces where each element
is part of a larger constellation but also operates independently. The
work is situated within the relations and interplay between separate
elements, spaces and things. Burns is also a founding member of the
activist artist group W.A.G.E. (Working Artists and the Greater
Economy), which draws attention to economic inequalities in the arts.
For rope-a-dope Burns will present a performance with video and a
sculpture. Her work will investigate her relationship to her body,
fitness and aggression through her eight years of boxing training and
act as a response to Johanna Russ The Female Man--a feminist sci-fi
novel from 1975.
Kenya (Robinson) is a multi-media artists based in Brooklyn, New York.
In her practice Kenya is interested in how cultural systems implicitly
alter, direct and modify thought perspectives of an individual. She
manipulates everyday mass-consumer items; combs, mirrors, magazine
images, synthetic hair, etc - items that are valuable transmitters of
culture. Her fascination with the human ability to create meaning from
mundane objects is an impulse that continues to drive her work,
especially her on going series on black hair and the politics that
surround it. Her debut exhibition, HAIRPOLITIC: The Pursuit of
Nappiness was at the Museum of Contemporary African Diaspora Art in
2008. She works in a variety of media including performance, sculpture,
printmaking and video. Kenya is currently an artist in residence at the
Lower Manhattan Cultural Council (LMCC). For rope-a-dope Kenya will
present a performance with a live video feed. The performance will
foreground the boxing ritual of wrapping hands in preparation for the
fight, an activity carefully supervised in the course of a professional
boxing match.

"waves carved west" is an experiment with several generations of visual
and sonic abstractions: documentary footage is fragmented and
modulated, then interpreted as line-drawn shapes. It culminates in the
round, resonating sounds of an improvised drawing instrument moved over
cello strings and passed through the conduits of various electronic
effects pedals. Using the tip of her bow, Codd will trace the moving
forms in Falls' re-cut versions of the surf classic documentary, "The
Endless Summer" (1966, Directed by Bruce Brown), and similar
reconstructions of American western films, onto a loose screen of
water-like reflective vinyl. Observers are invited to move around the

Derrick Adams
Welcome to Monument City
23 January - 28 February, 2010
Opening Reception Saturday, January 23, 6-8
Derrick Adams' solo exhibition and debut at Collette Blanchard Gallery
speaks of fallen empires, resilience and childhood impressions. It also
speaks of shiny, glittery memories against muted realities, of broken
landscapes and those who once resided within.
Welcome to Monument City draws inspiration from documentaries on
ancient civilizations and of societies that end in destruction, left
for historians to later cobble together provocative stories of money,
power and respect from the scattered evidence that remains. The work is
also a reflection on Adams personal witness to the transformation to
ruin - architecturally and socially - of his hometown of Baltimore City
(designated "Monument City" by President John Quincy Adams in 1827).
The exhibition addresses the universal relationship between man and
monument, both coexisting in the landscape as a fragmented and
distorted representation of each other.
Muted faux-brick panels shelve pseudo-symbolic objects; digital images
are combined with hand painted elements and glittered surfaces. His
work fuses fairytale perceptions with a current need to search for
meaning in fragments and artifacts.
Mr. Adams, who lives and works in New York, is a is graduate of
Columbia University and a recent recipient of the 2009 Louis Comfort
Tiffany Award. He participated in the inaugural PERFORMA 05; PS1/MoMA's
2005 Greater New York; Open House The Brooklyn Museum of Art; and the
Studio Museum in Harlem. Past solo exhibitions include Jack Tilton
Gallery (2003), Triple Candie (2004), Participant Inc (2005), and
Momenta Arts (2006) The spring Mr. Adams will attend the Fountainhead
Residency and will debut Go Stand Next To The Mountain at The Kitchen.
His work has been reviewed in the New York Times, New York Magazine and
Artforum.

Social Object: sculpture and software
A brief talk about the project by Michael Rees with Don Guarnieri.
On Thursday January 21, from 6:00-8:00pm Michael Rees will discuss his
exhibition Social Object: sculpture and software at the The Project
Room for New Media at the Chelsea Art Museum at 556 West 22nd St. He
will be joined by Donald Guarnieri, the producer of the project , to
speak about the framework of ideas around this exhibition. They will
discuss the software and sculpture that are in the exhibition and
demonstrate interaction in the Sculptural User Interface. The
Sculptural User Interface is a language to form synthesizer.
Social Object: sculpture and software includes correlated physical
objects with virtual objects. Interacting with the software creates
screen based experiences that construct virtual objects from which
physical objects can be derived. The work explores the relationship
between language and form and creates a framework for virtual and
physical play.\

DNJ Gallery is pleased to announce the upcoming exhibition, Signs of
the Times, featuring panoramic photographs by Richard Gilles. Gallery
II presents Laundry Lines by Bernadette DiPietro. Both exhibits form a
subtle, political commentary on our precarious economic times and the
natural environment.
Richard Gilles generates his title from the outdoor advertising trade
publication by the same name, Signs of the Times. His large-scale,
panoramic, color photographs document the proliferation of empty
billboards along Americas highways. In these photographs, Gilles
subjects are the monolithic and sculptural behemoths that dot the
interstate. The billboards are larger-than-life symbols of American
consumerism that lie bare and abandoned along Americas roadways. These
literal blank slates --devoid of glitzy images and the usual symbols of
consumption, temptation, leisure and desire --can be filled in mentally
by the viewer. Gilless photographs astutely reveal both the unraveling
of the American economy and an optimistic appreciation for the
simplicity of the minimalist object.
When Bernadette DiPietro was eleven years old, she began photographing
the clothes hanging out to dry as she went about her daily chores. The
colors, textures, smells, movements, and shapes of the strung up
objects sparked a lifelong passion for both photography and the
colorful clotheslines that she affectionately calls the flags of
nations. DiPietro has travelled the world and captured cultural
similarities and differences through the shared experience of hanging
laundry-- an age-old household ritual. Her images reflect the rhythm,
order, and whimsy of a flowered sheet twisting and snapping in the
breeze. With great attention to composition, DiPietros considers her
Laundry Lines to be my pictures that I paint against the sky forming
instinctive, moving sculptures.

RITES OF PASSAGE
Opening Reception: Thursday, January 21, 2010, 6-9 pm
Exhibition on view: January 21 - February 11, 2010
Rites of Passage is a group exhibition, organized by guest curator
Thomas Micchelli, that considers the multiple paths taken by new forms
of expression at the turn of the 21st Century, specifically those found
in the work of alumni of The Cooper Union who graduated between the
years 1995 and 2009 from The School of Art, The Irwin S. Chanin School
of Architecture, and The Albert Nerken School of Engineering. Their
explorations range from the intangibility of light and sound to the
poetry of infrastructure, autobiographical reflection to political
outrage, naked terror to absurdist humor. Rites of Passage takes its
title from a poem by Audre Lorde that speaks of the transition between
generations, of young people as agents of change as well as witnesses
to the passing of obsolete ideas.
The works in this exhibition, most of which were made especially for
the show, denote some kind of journey that signaled a turning point in
the participants' lives or worldviews. Whether the passages are
interior or external, they are accomplished through an openness and
honesty of expression, a blurring of the lines between disciplines, and
a willingness to try anything that might break apart an old paradigm
and engender something new.
In connection with the exhibition there will be a panel discussion
entitled Rock the Boat: Art as Intervention on Friday, February 5,
2010, from 6 to 9 pm in the Frederick P. Rose Auditorium, 41 Cooper
Square, New York City.

Floating Room and Fluorescent Phase, site-specific video, sound and
light pieces by Kristine Marx and Nicedisc respectively. Maps &
directions at www.bigandsmallcasual.net
OPENING: Friday, January 29th, 5 8pm.
DATES: One weekend only, Saturday /Sunday January 30th and 31st, noon -
6pm.
Kristine Marx has made a video piece, Floating Room, both of and for
the gallery. She filmed the gallerys interior over a period of time,
then took apart the taped footage, incorporated drawing and
reconfigured it within the space. The video encircles us, destabilizing
our perception of the architecture. The fragmented imagery moves from
photographic representations to a diagrammatic idea of space. It
loosely connects disparate moments in the video, always returning to
the theme of a physically and psychologically evolving interior in
process.
Nicedisc is the duo of Jeff Pash and Nick Phillips. Their work,
Fluorescent Phase has been made specifically for the long, dark
corridor outside the gallery. In their collaborative audiovisual work,
they employ sparse means to create hypnotic, subtly modulating spaces
that map out the liminal region between minimalism and aesthetic
overload. Their practice incorporates both live performances and
gallery installations in an attempt to investigate the architecture of
the viewing experience and the fundamental physical presence and
emotional affect of sight, sound, and space.

Steven Lynch is a tempestuous composer/pianist turned
pop-art-songwriter/producer who has a tendency to get down on the dance
floor.
The Organization of The Outside Eye is a multi-media artist collective
that host NYC's finest underground nightlife scene, spinning Ethiojazz,
Boogaloo, RockSteady and voodoo Funk with live instrumental
accompaniment.
Dear Friends and fellow artists,
It is with great pleasure and excitement to invite you to my first
Gershwin Hotel Event of the year. The times are rife with change and
upheaval on many fronts including cultural and social levels, as well
as ancient astrological time lines and calendars. There is an invisible
war on consciousness that is being waged in the hearts of many inclined
free thinkers and status quo questioners as this turning point of
awareness settles in. These truly are great times to be an artist or a
person who lives an artistic life. I hold court at the Gershwin not
only for me to present new music but also, for us to come together as a
vital creative gathering. And to drive home the point and celebrate
this and the cultural crossroads that is NYC, I will be joined by a
vital arts social group out of downtown NYC known as The Organization
of the Outside Eye, An amalgamation of visual, musical and literary
artists that congregate to dance and honor our days as this vital
creative spirit of New York and the world. The evening will run from
8-12 and I will be performing through the night alternating with The
DJs from the Outside Eye for dancing and heady mingling.
With Love,
Steven Lynch

THE LATE BRUCE CONNER
28 January 13 March 2010
Susan Inglett Gallery is pleased to present the late work of Bruce
Conner from 28 January to 13 March 2010.
Bruce Conner was no stranger to death. On September 12, 1959, the first
exhibition of THE LATE BRUCE CONNER opened at the Bay Area Spatsa
Gallery. While the work was in fact late work, to Conners mind every
piece, whether collage or assemblage, was composed of objects that had
experienced a previous life. The Gallery represented a sepulcher
containing beings no longer of this world, intended to be revered and
worshipped from afar.
Spatsa was but Conners first foray into the after life; in 1964 Conner
was the subject of a solo exhibition at the infamous Batman Gallery.
For the occasion, he organized a three day 24-Hour a Day Art Show
whereby he would live in the gallery. After three days the stone was
rolled away and Conner emerged, reborn. Surviving to 1972, when
irritated by the relentless offers to appear in Whos Who in America,
Conner responded via return mail that he was dead. In 1973, Whos Who in
America dutifully recorded the death, untimely to be sure.
For this first actually posthumous exhibition for Bruce Conner at Susan
Inglett Gallery, the gallery will exhibit the late collage work of the
late Bruce Conner in the main gallery accompanied by film in Gallery
II. Infused with the clarity that is said to accompany the end of life,
these wood engraving collages are assuredly the most magnificent and
moving work of Conners lifetime. Accompanied by what was intended to be
his last finished masterwork in film, Easter Morning, the exhibition
reaches a visual transcendence as we follow the artist through a
metaphysical quest towards renewal and rebirth.
The exhibition will parallel an appearance of Conner film excerpts on
the MTV HD Screen at Times Square, courtesy of Creative Time.
The exhibition will be on view at Susan Inglett Gallery, located at 522
West 24th Street Tuesday to Saturday 10 AM to 6 PM. For additional
information, please contact Susan Inglett Gallery at 212.647.9111, fax
212.647.9333 or info@inglettgallery.com.

Nicholas Robinson Gallery is pleased to present the first solo
exhibition of Robert Zungu. The exhibition, entitled Poor Theater,
includes sculptures and photographs that examine environmental
conservation and the formation of marginalized social communities.
The exhibition's title references Jerzy Grotowski's eponymous Polish
theater company that rose to prominence during post-war Europe. In
Grotowski's Poor Theater, the stage is reduced to its bare elements,
props are made from impoverished materials and the actors rely on the
rigorous physicality of their bodies.
Using Grotowski's theories as a point of departure, and through a
collaboration with the US Holocaust Museum, Zungu creates a makeshift
backdrop of the Podgorze Ghetto as the locus for his exhibition. The
image of the gates explores how communities can be sequestered and
endangered by social isolation. The exhibition investigates the ethics
of science in relation to cultural and medical advancement. The
photograph Untitled (Five Gorillas) depicts five plaster death masks
made from a family of Mountain Gorillas. These masks, made by Dr. Carl
Ackley in the 1920s, and hunted under the auspices of science, became
the foundation for the dioramas at the Museum of Natural History. In
addition, Zungu's sculpture Untitled (Horseshoe Crabs: Dialytic
Grouping) is composed of three horseshoe crabs cast in bronze, each
with a white patina to appear as if they were bled dry. Horseshoe crab
blood is essential to contemporary medical research and is widely
harvested to test the purity of vaccines and intravenous medical
equipment.
Each artwork in the exhibition incorporates natural materials; the
sculpture Eridanus, for example, is composed of 30 white, North
American tiger moths pinned to the gallery wall in the formation of The
River constellation. Each moth, signifying the location of a
corresponding star, composes an abstract wall drawing. Other works in
the exhibition include materials such as cast paper, painted bags of
flour, bronze, stalactites, plaster, ebonized wood, and rolled copper.
Poor Theater also addresses issues of environmental conservation. In
the photograph Striped Land Snails (X), ten snails are documented on a
vintage map of an elevator circuit board. The composition maintains a
surreal tone by relating the circles and spirals found in nature with
the hand drawn lines of an electrical blueprint. The photograph
considers the formation of communities and the consequences of
industrialization on the biological world; what was once a forest is
now an urban grid.
Zungu (b. 1978) lives and works in New York.
