AXELLE FINE ARTS GALERIE is pleased to present “N E V E R L A N D S C A P E”, a solo exhibition of new works by French artist ERIC ROUX-FONTAINE. Roux-Fontaine is well known worldwide for his creative talents in a wide range of media; he is an accomplished painter, photographer, poet and video artist. Roux- Fontaine’s premiere exhibition at Axelle Fine Arts features a series of oil paintings (pure pigment, marble powder and resin) that blend the real and the imagined to create a sort of pictorial poetry.
Roux Fontaine’s unique multidisciplinary body of work is characterized by his surreal and delicate portrayal of the natural world. The artist has travelled throughout Central America, India and Eastern Europe, specifically to Borucan & Romani communities; those cultures have had a profound influence on his art. His view of the world is one that is enchanted, sensitive and full of hope. He encourages the viewer to consider their identity and their relationship to the surrounding world. Roux-Fontaine aims to change the way people perceive the world, to restore what has been lost; his art reminds us of the natural beauty and serenity that is too easily forgotten in the rush of the modern world. He depicts images from his travels, his thoughts and his dreams.
Roux-Fontaine was born in 1966 in the Savoy Region of France. He enrolled at the Fine Art School of Saint-Etienne at the young age of 17 and graduated Suma Cum Laude 5 years later. Since his first solo exhibition in 1991, he has enjoyed sellout shows and overwhelming success throughout Europe. In 1995, the Musée des Beaux-arts of the city of Chambéry and the Musée Paul Dini of the city of Villefranche-sur-Saône acquired works which to date are part of their permanent collections. The Museum of the city of Lyon and the Centre de Cultura Contemporania of Barcelona (Barcelona Contemporary Arts Center) both featured his work in 2008. The same year, Spanish private arts foundation Josep Niebla presented his first retrospective. In 2011, he was a guest speaker at the renowned TED event in Lyon. His work was recently featured at the Rotterdam, Paris, London and Dublin art fairs.

Story of Cultural Interaction Among Christians, Muslims, and Jews Revealed in Beautifully Illuminated and Historically Important Treasures
The Jewish Museum Offers Digital Visitors Unprecedented Opportunity to View Rare Illuminated Manuscripts from England's Bodleian Library at Oxford University
Story of Cultural Interaction Among Christians, Muslims, and Jews Revealed in Beautifully Illuminated and Historically Important Treasures
|
New York, NY - In conjunction with the exhibition, Crossing Borders: Manuscripts from the Bodleian Libraries, The Jewish Museum is offering its digital visitors two fascinating opportunities to learn about and see high resolution images of the manuscripts.
Through the exhibition microsite, visitors will be able to see and zoom into images of nearly 100 pages from 41 of the 52 manuscripts in the exhibition and selected images from several printed books and paintings. Audio clips excerpted from the exhibition audio guide accompany selected manuscript pages. The manuscripts and artworks are organized into nine themes: From Roll to Codex; Medieval Hebraism; Islamic Decorative Motifs; Shared Motifs in Christian and Hebrew Books; The Kennicott Bible, a Medieval Masterpiece; Fables from India to Spain and Beyond; Christians, Muslims, and Jews Copy Euclid; Collectors of Hebrew Books; and Sir Thomas Bodley and Queen Elizabeth I. An essay, The Middle Ages Illuminated, by the exhibition's curator Claudia Nahson places the works in context, tracing the story of cultural interaction among Christians, Muslims, and Jews during the Middle Ages, as seen in these rare and precious volumes. This microsite was designed and developed by MESH Architectures which also designed the exhibition installation.
England's Bodleian Library at Oxford University, established by Sir Thomas Bodley in 1602 and now the largest of the University's group of 'Bodleian Libraries', is renowned for its great treasures. Among them is one of the most important collections of medieval Hebrew illuminated manuscripts in the world. The Jewish Museum is presenting Crossing Borders: Manuscripts from the Bodleian Libraries from September 14, 2012 through February 3, 2013. This exhibition features over 60 works - Hebrew, Arabic, and Latin manuscripts - the majority of which have never been seen in the United States. Several paintings and printed books are also on view.
| ||
Crossing Borders: Manuscripts from the Bodleian Libraries website is made possible by Bloomberg.
The audio guide is produced in association with Acoustiguide.
Kennicott Bible photography and online feature are by Ardon Bar-Hama. In-kind support for these projects is generously provided by George S. Blumenthal.

sublim ∙ kursiv – AJLart at Epicentro art
Opening: Wed 12.9.2012, 19h
Exhibition: 13.9. -9.10.2012
Opening hours: Tuesday-Saturday 12.00-18.00 / during Berlin Art Week: 12.00-20.00
Location: Epicentro art, Karl-Marx-Allee 82-84, 10243 Berlin, http://www.epicentroart.com
AJLart is showing Christian Boltanski, James Lee Byars, Gianni Caravaggio, Douglas Gordon, Markus Keibel, Imi Knoebel, Robert Montgomery, Christine Rusche, Junior Toscanelli, Björn Wallbaum and Ralf Ziervogel at Epicentro art.
In sublim.kursiv the gallerist Anna Jill Lüpertz is presenting an exhibition of outstanding art pieces from international artists that have shaped the contemporary art of the present. Her show aims for a striking contrast to current exhibition concepts. sublim.kursiv renounces any theoretical discourse and the embedding of the works in any political context. Art is at the centre of the exhibition. Paintings, installations and sculptures, all in direct dialogue to each other, give space to a moment of contemplation, little more is needed.
The conviction that art in itself is sovereign, sets the tone for the choice and the presentation of the works. Conceptual installations, like those of Boltanski and Douglas Gordon are confronted with the delicate drawings of Ralf Ziervogel or the monumental murals of Christine Rusche. The poetic work of Robert Montgomery meets the large-scale sculptures of Gianni Caravaggio. Sometimes the artistic interplay of the pieces manifests immediately, other times a slow and delicate awareness arises. The exhibition sublim.kursiv covers many varieties of a precise artistic expression and of a stringency in the act of creating - it emphasizes the unique characteristics of art.
Anna Jill Lüpertz founded AJLart in 2010, under the strong conviction that certain forms of artists expressions need their respective space, even if that entails finding the right space for the right concepts. AJLart as such, is a gallery that does not limit itself to one particular space but focuses on the represented artists and their varying artistic concepts.
AJLart has developed the group exhibition sublim.kursiv in the private exhibition space of Epicentro art. Located in the historical Stalin buildings of Berlin, Epicentro art offers the perfect mixture between white cube and representative architecture. The Epicentro art was founded in 2007 by Marc Fiedler, entrepreneur and art aficionado. Since then, the private exhibition- and collection institution has been showing international artists in solo- and group exhibitions, ranging from contemporary painting to sculpture and photography.

THE WHITNEY TO PRESENT SINISTER POP, A LOOK AT POP'S DARKER SIDE November 15, 2012–March 2013
THE WHITNEY TO PRESENT SINISTER POP, A LOOK AT POP'S DARKER SIDE
November 15, 2012–March 2013
NEW YORK, September 14, 2012—Sinister Pop, the fourth in a series of six exhibitions reassessing the Whitney’s collection, presents a dark and inventive take on the Museum’s rich holdings of Pop art from the movement’s inception in the early 1960s through its aftershocks a decade later. Curated by Donna De Salvo and Scott Rothkopf, the exhibition will appear from November 15, 2012 through March 2013 in the Museum’s second floor Mildred & Herbert Lee Galleries.
Although Pop is typically understood to offer an effervescent view of postwar consumerism, this exhibition provides a more cutting and skeptical take. The show highlights a period of turmoil and upheaval in the United States, where an exploration of new art forms dovetailed with a tumultuous remaking of politics and society through rampant and ecstatic commercialism, transformations in race relations and women’s rights, and the effects of the Vietnam War. In conjunction with this exhibition, a film program titled Dark and Deadpan: Pop in TV and the Movies, curated by Chrissie Iles and Jay Sanders, will be shown in the Kaufman Astoria Studios Film & Video Gallery, also on the Museum’s second floor.
Donna De Salvo, the Whitney’s chief curator and deputy director for programs, comments: "While Pop is often characterized as a celebration of popular imagery, this exhibition focuses on the dark and unsettling ways in which artists looked at the cultural landscape of America in the 1960s and 1970s. By including figures long associated with Pop art alongside those who were not, the exhibition also attempts to bring a more textured and complex reading to a period that was pivotal in the US and internationally."
Whitney curator Scott Rothkopf continues: "As we anticipate our downtown building opening in 2015, we are actively exploring new ways to reconsider both key historical moments and the presentation of our collection. Unlike many exhibitions devoted to the movement, Sinister Pop combines photography, prints, drawing, painting, and sculpture, alongside related films and videos, to express the Whitney's belief in a truly multimedia display."
While many of the artists featured in Sinister Pop are acknowledged masters, including Andy Warhol, Jasper Johns, Roy Lichtenstein, Claes Oldenburg, James Rosenquist, and Ed Ruscha, they are represented by seldom-seen works in surprising new contexts. For example, Ruscha’s photographs of blank apartment facades and filling stations share space with Allan D’Arcangelo’s distorted highway scene and George Segal’s forlorn Bus Station in a group of works exploring the dystopic American landscape. Another thematic cluster examines the complicated depiction of women in the hands of Rosalyn Drexler, Mel Ramos, Tom Wesselmann, and Richard Lindner, while the topic of exaggerated consumption is elaborated through Sturtevant’s monstrous spaghetti, Oldenburg’s pile of giant cigarette ends, and William Eggleston’s photograph of an overstuffed freezer. The roiling political scene and rage of the era are captured in the depictions of US presidents by Judith Bernstein, Jim Dine, and Warhol, as well as in the unrestrained, freewheeling paintings of Peter Saul and Jim Nutt.
The exhibition’s broad scope also includes artists not generally associated with the Pop canon but whose work may be understood within its broader field of reference, such as Vija Celmins, Milton Glaser, Dan Graham, Nancy Grossman, and Christina Ramberg. In particular, the curators have provocatively included a large number of photographs by Eggleston, Louis Faurer, Robert Frank, Lee Friedlander, Peter Hujar, Joel Meyerowitz, Billy Name, and Weegee, among others. Many of these works suggest the ominous and threatening connotations of the word "sinister" in images that evoke crime scenes, foreboding voyeurism, and film-noir tales.
Sinister Pop is the fourth in a multiyear series of six exhibitions reassessing the Whitney’s collection in anticipation of the Museum’s move downtown in 2015. Proceeding in chronological order across a century of American art, the shows offer lively and revisionist takes on signal historical moments. Previous installments were Breaking Ground: The Whitney’s Founding Collection, Real/Surreal, and Signs & Symbols, which is currently on view through October 28. The fifth exhibition in the series will focus on the 1970s and '80s.
In addition to the full-floor Sinister Pop exhibition, the Museum’s film and video gallery will feature Dark and Deadpan: Pop in TV and the Movies, highlighting the central role that television and cinema played in communicating the excitement, anxiety, and desire underlying both Pop and popular culture in the 1960s. From Andy Warhol’s commercial for Schrafft’s restaurants to George Kuchar’s melodrama Hold Me While I’m Naked, this exhibition brings together rarely seen films, television advertisements, and political campaign messages that reflect the extravagant yet deadpan success of Pop art during this period.
The Whitney Museum is located at 945 Madison Avenue at 75th Street, New York City. Museum hours are: Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday from 11 am to 6 pm, Friday from 1 pm to 9 pm, closed Monday and Tuesday. General admission: $18. Full-time students and visitors ages 19–25 and 65 & over: $14. Visitors 18 & under and Whitney members: FREE. Admission to the Kaufman Astoria Studios Film & Video Gallery only: $6. Admission is pay-what-you-wish on Fridays, 6–9 pm. For general information, please call (212) 570-3600 or visit whitney.org.
