Le Parc was born in Mendoza and moved to Paris in the late 1950s. He is a founding member of the art collective, Groupe de Recherche d’Art Visuel (GRAV). His work employs innovative use of fields of light, movement and perception and was instrumental in the Op and Kinetic movements of the time.

between activist artists in Latin America and Parisian art circles.

Galerie Thomas Schulte (Berlin) Presents An Exhibit By Leunora Salihu July 2 to August 27, 2016

6/21/2016

Galerie Thomas Schulte (Charlottenstrasse 24, Berlin) presents an exhibit by Leunora Salihu July 2 to August 27, 2016. There will be an opening from 7 to 9 p.m. Friday, July 1.

The artist works in a variety of materials, clay, wood, plywood and plaster. She often combines these materials to create tension (or harmony) as the piece
requires. Salihu rhythmically repeats round and square elements creating a irreconcilable link between the overall form and the "ompound segments." You will notice forms reminicsent of architecuture and design in these pieces as well as hints of the natural world (think hives and nexts).

This exhibit comes at the same time as the first extensive monograph of Salihu's work (published by Kerber Verlag).

The Davidoff Art Initiative Presents "Art In Lounges Program" Inaugural Artist, Dominican Fausto Ortiz

6/10/2016

The Davidoff Art Initiative presents Art In Lounges Program. The inaugural artist, Dominican Fausto Ortiz, focuses on photography. He is from the
Dominican Republic and is a member of Grufo, a Santiago-area photographic collective. Ortiz teaches photography at PUCM University (Santiago).

The artist says "My work is the result of living in and surviving a Caribbean context, where changes and geographical mobility are the norm. Art is the only democratic space for us as humans to discern and craft our ideas, regardless of socioeconomic level or political beliefs. It is the perfect platform to express your feelings towards certain situations that affect you deeply. Photography is the key that opens the door to that space and allows me to engage in a dialogue with my environment to express my point of view."
