This exhibition of one of a kind originals will feature a live and silent auction starting at exclusive pricing that can only be found at the ArtBattles Popup Gallery. ArtBattles will not only showcase large-scale works created by rising stars and painters from the US, France, and Spain, but also Live Art and a video installation.

This unique collection of work represents a range of painting from fine art to street art that will be showcased in a floor to ceiling exhibition of epic scale.

“We are excited to bring back a collection of work that accurately reflects the unique artistic cultures found all over Europe and the US. These pieces, which were made in a series of battles over a course of 6 months, show the dynamism of live art today. It’s fresh, it’s frenetic, it’s liberating,” said Sean Bono, founder of ArtBattles.

Q & A WITH ARTIST SUSAN STOCKWELL AT CUCHIFRITOS

This Wednesday, July 21 at 6PM, Cuchifritos gallery and project space is pleased to present an artists talk followed by Q & A with renowned artist Susan Stockwell who will discuss her recent projects in China, Taiwan and the US. Susan will touch upon her experiences of creating large scale installations made with recycled materials. She will also talk about the management of these projects, her collaborations with industry, how they see their role and how this varies in different countries.

Susan Stockwell lives and work in London, England. She exhibits in galleries and museums all over the world, including the V&A, London, The Neuberger Museum, New York and The National Museum of China, Beijing. She has taught extensively and taken part in residencies and projects in Europe, America and Asia. She was trained at Sheffield University and the Royal College of Art in London. Susan Stockwell’s work takes many forms from small intricate studies to large-scale installations, sculpture, drawings and collage. She is concerned with issues of ecology, geo-politics, mapping, trade and global commerce. She draws on everyday materials that are domestic, industrial and disposable, the products that pervade our everyday lives. These materials are manipulated and transformed into works of art that are extraordinary.

This event is FREE, donations are welcome.

Susan’s talk is happening during the exhibition Collected: Working Space 10 and her work aptly fits the theme of the exhibition curated by Erin Riley Lopez with artists participating on the Lower East Side-Rotating Studio Program, in Fall 09 and Spring 10, Martin Basher, Kate Burnet and Dan Woerner, Vidal Centeno,Blane De St. Croix, Natsu, Olek, Tamara Kostianovsky, Chris Yormick.

ANTHONY GORMLEY: BREATHING ROOM III


Standing in the center of artist Anthony Gormley’s art installation “Breathing Room III” at the White Cube gallery in London, you feel as if you’re walking through a digital grid from some early 80’s computer aided drawing, or are amidst some wayward set dressing from the movie Tron.

Once the lights are turned off, you are immersed in a matrix of Photo-luminescent frames and the gallery space is bathed in a soothing blue glow.  As the tubular blue lights gradually dim, the viewer is lulled by an increasingly moody, seemingly limitless space. Their fading glow recedes until it becomes a gentle hum; then the lights are turned back on and the tubes recharge for the next round of guests, creating the perfect locale for Tron Guy to have lunch.

Click below for some more images from the installation:

EVERYBODY KNOWS THIS IS NOWHERE



Everybody knows this is nowhere, is the latest gallery exhibition from American photographer Ryan McGinley at Team Gallery in New York. The show runs only until April 17, 2010, so get over there before its gone. McGinley’s last exhibit featured a photo series of carefree teenagers playing in the American desert but for this new exhibit, he has taken an extensive series of nude black and white studio portraits of 150 hand selected subjects.  While Neil Young’s album by the same name took 2 weeks to record,  McGinley, has spent the last 2 years composing this exhibit. “The result is a surprisingly restrained, open-ended study of black and white portraiture. Here we see McGinley not as a chronicler of youthful adventure, but as an engine for an almost scientific cataloguing of a kind of emotional optimism.” They kind of remind us a little of Hedi Slimane’s photo diaries.  Check out some of the images from the exhibit below:

Team is open from Tuesday through Saturday, 10am to 6pm and located at 83 Grand Street, cross streets Wooster and Greene, on the ground floor.

“I gotta get away from this day-to-day running around, Everybody knows this is nowhere.”- n. young

MR. BRAINWASH: “ICONS” (EXTENDED)

The somewhat questionable Mr. Brainwash, whose “Icons” exhibit has been on displays in the Meatpacking since Valentine’s Day has been extended through the end of April. Regardless of your thoughts on Mr. Brainwash, the exhibit is worth checking out. Yes, it’s a lame version of Banksy and yes it subsists on the tired and played out icons such as Warhol’s soup cans and Marilyn Monroe portraits, but the vinyl portraits alone are worth checking into and even the Banksy stuff shows that while the underlying ideas aren’t entirely novel, they are fun and display at a minimum the talent of replication and derivation.

The exhibit is taking place at 415 W 13th street New York, NY 10014 and is open (and Free) from noon until 9p (Mon-Thurs), 12a (Fri-Sat), or 7p (Sun). Admission is free & cameras and video are being allowed.
