 Vibes of Steel will play at Frosch & Portmann (53 Stanton St., New York) from 6 to 8 p.m. Thursday, September 20, 2018 in conjunction with Vicki Sher's Fountain. The exhibit runs until October 14 and is the artist's fourth with the gallery. The title comes from the last word of Gertrude Stein's Tender Buttons. The sentiment that everything is wrong, especially those parts of the world manipulated by mankind. The book finds its hope in the natural world.   Artist and activist, Monica Jahan Bose will be exhibiting her work at a couple of locations in Norther California. First, in conjunction with the Sierra Club, at Women Leaders in Global Climate Action (an affiliate event of the Global Climate Summit) from 5 to 9 p.m, Thursday, September 13, 2018. at 111 Minna Gallery (111 Minna Street, San Francisco). Those in the Bay area can reserve in advance at the cocktail party HERE.
Bose will also be on hand for a bilingual book talk, film screening and discussion with local activists at Napa Bookmine (964 Pearl Street, Napa) from 5 to 7 p.m., Saturday September 15. This event is endorsed by Healing Walk Napa Valley, Napa Valley Arts Council, Sierra Club and Napa Climate Now.  Expo Chicago returns to Navy Pier September 27 to 30, 2018. The fair features work from hundreds of artists, 135 galleries, 63 cities and 27 countries. It has grown over the years and in many ways put Chicago back on the worldwide art fair map.
When Expo came into existence Chicago had been without a major art fair for a number of years. Galleries I spoke to were leery of coming to/ returning to the city. Some of those same galleries now participate in Expo. The fair has grown more impressive not just in participating galleries but in the increasingly interesting and complex programming. Programing this year inicludes: Dialogues, IN/SITU, IN/SITU Outside, OVERRIDE, EXPO Sound, EXPO VIDEO, Art Critics Forum and Special Exhibitions. You can find out all the details HERE. Roland Poska's Deckle Edge Opens September 21, 2018 At Jerald Melberg Gallery (Charlotte, NC)9/11/2018  Roland Poska's Deckle Edge opens September 21, 2018 at Jerald Melberg Gallery (624 South Sharon Amity Road, Charlotte, NC).
There will be an opening 6 to 8 p.m. Friday September 21 (hopefully). Poska, who was a pioneer in paper making in fine art, passed away last year.  Karon Davis' Muddy Water runs September 16 to November 4, 2018 At Wilding Cran Gallery (939 South Santa Fe Ave., Los Angeles). There will be a reception from 5 to 8 p.m.
This solo exhibit, the second by Davis with the gallery, takes its name from Bessie Smith's recording of Muddy Water. a song about the Great Mississippi Flood. The work, as a whole deals with climate change, displacement and migration offering a window in to the experiences of those who suffer during natural disasters. Pieces are full scale plaster cast figures. Bethany Collins "Undersong" Runs September 15 To October 27, 2018 At Patron Gallery (Chicago)9/10/2018  Bethany Collins Undersong runs September 15 to October 27, 2018 at Patron Gallery (673 N. Milwaukee Ave.,Chicago). There will be an opening reception from 5 to 8 p.m. Saturday, September 15. Collins' work in Undersong makes use of three different texts in her work; a translation of The Odyssey, advertisements placed by former slaves searching for missing family and patriotic hynms. Through "vocalization"--all these texts were devoid of power unless read aloud--these texts become the undersong, the song's burden. It is a fascinating concept.   Yves Tessier's Cherry Picnic September 12 to October 14, 2018 at Shrine (179 East Broadway, New York). There will be a reception from 6 to 8 p.m.. Wednesday , September 12. Tessier's work is casein on aluminum panels. They are personal, unique pieces. The works mix humor and gravitas and are often set in mundane surroundings. Casein is an interesting medium. It is a paint made from milk protein that is water soluble. It was often used like gouache so it is somewhat hard to figure as paint to use on aluminum (although it apparently isn't uncommon).  "The Signature" Exhibit Runs September 13 To December 31, 2018 At Emmanuel Fremin Gallery (New York)9/9/2018  The Signature Exhibit runs September 13 to December 31, 2018 at Emmanuel Fremin Gallery (547 West 27th Street suite 510, New York). There will be an opening reception from 6 to 8 p.m. The Signature Exhibition is an extended exhibition of works from all of the artists represented by the gallery. It is a neat idea for an exhibition and gives visitors a chance to get a sense of the gallery's entire aesthetic. The extended time of the exhibit means you have a lot of time to drop by. Artists on display include: Francoise Ben Arous, Pinar Du Pre, Dionisios Fragias, Ole Marius Joergensen, Jean Philippe Kadzinski, Youngsam Kim, Do Byung Kyu, Julian Lennon, Maleonn, Melisa Mizrakli, Reka Nyari, Ardan Ozmenoglu, Christophe Pouget, Antoine Rose, Steve Schlackman, Bob Tabor, Drew Tal, Nathan Vincent, Eitan Vitkon and Hung Yi.   Steven Baris' Jump Cut and John Preus' The Emperor Stripped Bare, Even: Addenda To The Historical Record run September 15 to October 27, 2018 at Pentimenti Gallery (145 North Second St., Philadelphia). There will be an opening reception from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m.,Saturday, September 15. Jump Cut is a continuance of Baris' musings on the experience of contemporary built space. Geometric forms in his work come straight from modern distribution and fulfilment centers scattered through our exurban landscape. These paintings, works on paper and objects expose the disconnect betwee the experience of these areas and the commercial reality. Preus' work, going back five years, is based on a collection of half a dozen semi-truckloads of damaged furniture from Chicago public schools closed in 2013. The works include sculptures and wall sculptures. They include the marks left by children over the years.  |
