Space Invaders

Space Invaders, organized by guest curator Karin Bravin, features the work of eighteen artists who make use of the unique spaces at Lehman College - both inside the galleries and outside the building. Using the walls, the ceiling, the floor, or the balcony above the atrium, works appear to grow out of the structure, hang down, wrap around, or peer out from under. Working with a specific location in mind, the space becomes the artist's canvas. The outcome can be organic and free flowing, expressive and thought provoking. These site-specific installations will include floor-bound works arranged in sprawling configurations that appear to be organically inspired. Some of the artists use large sculptures that skillfully appropriate both indoor and outdoor spaces. Others use bits of material that might have once intersected with someone's life creating an expanding cultural collage, and some create installations that cascade from a ceiling or stretch from inside to outside. Each artist will inhabit the space differently, taking cues from the distinctive architecture - Lehman College Art Gallery is located in a building designed by Marcel Breuer in 1960. Upon approaching the gallery from the center of the campus, the viewer will encounter Rachel Hayes' boldly colored fabric installation. Light and wind affect the piece as it is viewed from both indoors and outdoors. On the Goulden Avenue side of the campus viewers will find Dahila Elsayed's series of text-based flags. These festive, poetic, and suggestive visual markers metaphorically call to attention aspects of the campus with which one might not be familiar. DeWitt Godfrey's monumental steel tubes sit under an overpass, nestled between concrete walls. Kim Beck's work will lead us from the outside to inside with vinyl decals of commonly overlooked weeds that grow out of cracks and up walls.   Inside, in the gallery lobby, Sheila Pepe will dress the atrium with a degree of craft and decoration that likely was never intended for Marcel Breuer's cast concrete; Rita MacDonald's large-scale wall drawing plays up the roundness of the foyer's walls with an image of a pattern caught in a spinning motion. Carol Salmanson's Hercules Light, made of transparent green plexiglass, will mimic the shape of the building's massive support columns, emphasizing contrasting feelings of weightlessness and ephemerality. In the galleries, Diana Cooper will combine fragmented photographs with three-dimensional elements, abstracted, but projecting an inherent sense of oppressive systems, networks, circuitry and surveillance. Heeseop Yoon's installation of black masking tape on Mylar will play with positive and negative space, void and solid, transforming the space into a busy network of lines that not only slows down the process of seeing and drawing but also suspends the viewer's gaze. Franklin Evans' work will explode the boundaries of painting with such disparate elements as books, sound recordings, sculpture, painting, artist's materials, digital images, drawing, and process residue. Abigail Deville will transform the small video room using found and inherited domestic objects that make a connection to her personal universe and the one at large. Cordy Ryman's Rafter Web Scrapwall will be a sprawling 30 foot wall installation of recycled remains from a previous installation of painted wood pieces; Mariah Robertson will create a cascading floor to ceiling installation of unique photographs that are the result of darkroom experimentation.  Lisa Kellner uses the language of diseased cellular activity to make large-scale installations. She hand forms, paints and sews together thousands of organic, bulbous shapes out of silk organza. Nicola Lopez will create an installation using woodblock printed Mylar that will transform a portion of the space's sloping ceiling. Robert Melee's marbleized imitation wood and drop ceiling panels will cover a space that channels and explores the distinct, yet inter-related psychologies of the suburban home. His installation will include the paintings of fellow artist Erik Hanson. Gandalf Gavan's neon and mirrored wall installation will alter the viewer's perception of the exhibition space, and Halley Zien will make use of a hidden gallery kitchen that will be invaded by hundreds of her collaged and psychologically expressive characters. October 2, 2012 - January 9, 2013  Reception: Wednesday, October 17, 6-8:00 pm Gallery Hours: Tuesday to Saturday from 10 am to 4 pm For more Information about Lehman College Art Gallery visit: www.lehman.edu/gallery  718 960 8731 Our exhibitions and programs are made possible with the generous support from: The Institute of Museum and Library Services; The New York City Council through G.

The Curator’s Eye Spotlights Art For Eternity Gallery

The Curator’s Eye Spotlights Art For Eternity Gallery

NEW YORK - Howard Nowes, owner and director of Art for Eternity Gallery in New York, recently spoke with The Curator’s Eye, (http://www.CuratorsEye.com/), the global high-end art marketing organization, about several sales and newly formed client relationships that resulted from his participation on the site.

Mr. Nowes reported, “I advertised a Greek bronze breast plate from the 5th Century BC on the site. After a short time, I received a message from a registered member of The Curator's Eye asking about it. He turned out to be a collector of ancient armor and I was happy to meet a new connoisseur. Additionally, I was able to introduce him to my broader inventory of ancient armor which led to more activity on several Greek helmets. This was beyond my expectations.”

The Curator’s Eye exists to help dealers compete with market leaders Christie’s and Sotheby’s by giving them access to the same clients that traffic the auction houses and high end art shows, but through an online structure. In fact, Mr. Nowes says his successful sale “happened because CuratorsEye.com acted as an 'introductions agency' and not like an auction house.”

Seol Park, Product Manager and New York Regional Director, says while The Curator’s Eye celebrates sales completed through the platform, it also “emphasizes the dealer-client relationship. The client is not buying on the internet but is being introduced to reputable dealers.”

Mr. Nowes attests to the general quality of the site, saying, “Across all categories, the directors of the site only work with top professional dealers who have very high standards and exercise a critical eye in judging quality.” This dedication to quality and reputation makes The Curator’s Eye stand out among the online art market.

A recent article by Patricia Cohen of the New York Times highlights the contrast between CuratorsEye.com and the rest of the rapidly growing internet art market. According to Ms. Cohen, buying art online has “become a sort of bazaar, where shoppers of varying sophistication routinely encounter all degrees of flimflammery, from the schemes of experienced grifters to the innocent mistakes of the unwitting and naïve.” In contrast, Mr. Nowes characterizes CuratorsEye.com as a place where “the viewing public can ‘feast their eyes’ well. It's like a quality restaurant whose kitchen offers only the best - the viewing public knows anything on the menu will be excellent!”

As a leading dealer in ancient and ethnographic art, Mr. Nowes is always seeking to extend his client base. Becoming a member dealer of The Curator’s Eye was a natural step. Mr. Nowes said, “Meeting new collectors and giving them the best possible client services is very important to my work as a dealer, and this was a nice affirmation that I had made the right decision to join this community.” He added, “The site puts me directly in touch with sophisticated collectors and helps me understand where their interests lie. I enjoy being part of this community.”

Art For Eternity Gallery specializes in Greek, Roman, Egyptian, Pre-Columbian, African, Oceanic, and Asian ancient and ethnographic art. It is located in Manhattan, a short walk from the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

As the art world expands into emerging markets and younger generations do more and more research online, The Curator’s Eye is poised to facilitate these initial virtual connections. Today, collectors from Monaco, India, France, Brazil, and Russia are among the registered users from over eighty countries.

The Glass House Launches New Exhibition Program

Having trouble viewing this email? Click here

CONTACT: Christa Carr Director of Communications 203-275-7565; christa_carr@nthp.org The Glass House Launches New Exhibition Program with Two Inaugural Exhibitions, Rededicating the Site as an Experimental Cultural Center Honoring the Legacy of Philip Johnson and David Whitney Exhibition 1: Frank Stella's Scarlatti Kirkpatrick This exhibition features the artist's latest series, featuring all new works and activating the Da Monsta gallery as an exhibition space. Exhibition 2: Night (1947 to 2015), A Sculpture-in-Residence Program Doola, a never-before-seen work by artist Ken Price, opens a rotating contemporary sculpture exhibition series that initiates a dialogue with Philip Johnson's lost Giacometti sculpture. Frank Stella: Scarlatti Kirkpatrick (2006 to present) On view September 22-November 30, 2012 Night (1947 -2015), A Sculpture-in-Residence Program Featuring first sculpture in residence: Ken Price, Doola (2011) On view September 22-November 30, 2012 The Glass House 199 Elm Street, New Canaan, CT 06840 Open Thursday-Monday, 9:30 a.m.-5:30 p.m. Tickets start at $30, including tour of the site.       New Canaan, Conn, (Sept. 7, 2012) - Two inaugural shows launch the Glass House exhibition program in the fall of 2012: Frank Stella: Scarlatti Kirkpatrick and Night (1947-2015). The exhibitions program are part of a strategic initiative introduced by the new director of the Glass House, Henry Urbach, who is leading efforts to rededicate the site as a lively, creative cultural center consistent with the spirit and values of its former occupants, renowned architect Philip Johnson and independent curator David Whitney.       "Historic preservation is not just the physical conservation of buildings and collections, but also the preservation of intangible qualities or the spirit of a place. My hope is to reanimate the Glass House as a curatorial laboratory to complement Johnson's and Whitney's work. Exhibitions and other programs will allow the public to experience the site in new ways so that the Glass House continues to exist as a site of cultural production, a place of innovation and discovery," Urbach says.       "Prior to Philip and David's deaths in 2005, the Glass House served, for nearly 50 years, as a gathering point without equal; as a laboratory for experimenting with the collection and display of art, architecture, landscape, and people; as a seat of power, and a decisive stage for culture that played no small part in determining what mattered to the late 20th century. To become director of the Glass House, then, is to engage the legacy of this extraordinary site and to bring it forward into a future that is multifaceted and alive," Urbach adds. Frank Stella: Scarlatti Kirkpatrick       Scarlatti Kirkpatrick (2006-present) is a series of recent works by the renowned American abstract artist Frank Stella. The series represents Stella's current and latest body of work.       The series title refers both to the Italian composer Domenico Scarlatti (1685-1757), known for his many harpsichord sonatas, and to the Yale musicologist and harpsichordist Ralph Kirkpatrick (1911-84), who popularized Scarlatti's work and produced the definitive catalogue of the sonatas in 1953. Stella's constructions, like the sonatas, are each assigned "K" numbers (for example, K.179) but their relationship to Scarlatti's music is one of visual rhythm and abstraction more than literal correspondence. "If you follow an edge of a given work visually," says Stella, "and follow it through quickly, you find the sense of rhythm and movement that you get in music."       The series' spiraling, polychrome works form a bold new chapter in Stella's decades-long career exploring artistic reinvention and technical innovation, and are unlike any work he has created before.       Philip Johnson was an early admirer of Stella, and he avidly collected the artist's work throughout his life. When Johnson donated the Glass House property to the National Trust for Historic Preservation, he specifically outlined his wish to feature Stella's artwork at the Glass House. Visitors to the Scarlatti Kirkpatrick exhibit will find a rich context in which they can see the trajectory of the artist's career, as earlier Stella works from Johnson's personal collection now hang in the Glass House's Painting Gallery.       Frank Stella: Scarlatti Kirkpatrick (2006-present) will be presented in the building known as Da Monsta on the Glass House property. Da Monsta features a theater as well as a gallery space, where the exhibition will be viewed. Johnson intended for the building to serve as an on-site visitor center where guests would gather to view small exhibitions and film before touring the grounds. Initially designed by Stella and completed by Johnson in 1995, Da Monsta was the last structure built on the New Canaan site. The building concluded what Johnson called his "50-year diary," documenting the history of 20th-century architectural currents across the 49-acre campus. Night (1947- 2015)       Night, (1947) by sculptor Alberto Giacometti, was one of a handful of artworks that Philip Johnson displayed in the Glass House while he lived there. The plaster sculpture was granted a place of honor atop the central glass coffee table that Mies van der Rohe designed for Johnson. In the 1960s, Night began to shed its outer layer and was eventually sent to the artist's studio for repair. Giacometti died before the work was conserved, and the sculpture was never returned. Neither repaired nor replaced, Night's absence from the Glass House still lingers like a ghost of Modernism past.       In homage, the Glass House presents Night (1947-2015), an innovative sculpture-in-residence exhibition guest curated by Jordan Stein. The ongoing exhibition will feature contemporary artists whose works contend with the legacy of Night.  On display for three to six months at a time over the next three years, the sculptures in Night (1947-2015) will be regularly rotated making room for new work and ongoing dialogue.       Night (1947-2015) will focus on mid-career and established sculptors who work with themes raised by Giacometti's vanished artwork - themes such as unreliability, looping, curving, reflectivity, and doubt, all of which provide a counterpoint to Johnson's transparent temple. Artists will be announced each year until the completion of the exhibition in 2015.       The first artwork is Doola (2011), a sculpture by the recently deceased artist Ken Price (1935-2012), who was known for transforming traditional ceramics into extraordinary, polychromatic forms. Doola will debut for the first time at the Glass House. Johnson's partner, David Whitney, was an avid collector and patron of Ken Price; Whitney mounted Price's first solo New York exhibition at his gallery in 1971. In 1992, he organized a retrospective of Price's work at the Menil Collection in Houston.       Jordan Stein is the founder of Glass, house, a project-based curatorial initiative that explores notions of transparency and reflectivity in contemporary art practice and presentation; co-founder/director of Will Brown, an exhibition and program space in San Francisco's Mission District; and an Arts Project Developer at the Exploratorium, a museum of science, art, and human perception in San Francisco. In 2010, Stein participated in the Curatorial Intensive training program organized by the Independent Curators International, New York. Stein holds an MFA from the San Francisco Art Institute and a BA from the University of Michigan. He currently lives and works in San Francisco. The Glass House       The Glass House, a National Trust Historic Site, offers its 49-acre campus as a catalyst for the preservation and interpretation of modern architecture, landscape, and art, and as a canvas for inspiration and experimentation honoring the legacy of Philip Johnson (1906-2005) and David Whitney (1939-2005).       The Glass House was completed in 1949. Inspired by Mies van der Rohe's Farnsworth House (Plano, IL, 1951), its exterior walls are made of glass, a radical departure from houses of the time. The Glass House was the start of Johnson's 50-year odyssey of architectural experimentation in forms, materials, and ideas, through the addition of other structures-the Brick House/Guest House, Pond Pavilion, Painting Gallery, Sculpture Gallery, Ghost House, Library/Study, and Da Monsta -- and the methodical sculpting of the surrounding landscape. philipjohnsonglasshouse.org The National Trust for Historic Preservation       The National Trust for Historic Preservation is a nonprofit membership organization bringing people together to protect, enhance and enjoy the places that matter to them.
