Andrea Mary Marshall's "Gia Condo", opens this Thursday at Allegra LaViola Gallery

Andrea Mary Marshall Gia Condo Andrea Mary Marshall, Self Portrait as Gia Condo, 2012, Oil on Poplar Panel, 30" x 21" January 17 – February 16, 2013 Opening: Thursday, January 17, 6-8PM Allegra LaViola Gallery is pleased to present Gia Condo, an exhibition of painting, photography, video and performance by Andrea Mary Marshall. The show opens this Thursday, January 17th, and will include a performance on the opening night, as well as additional performances through the duration of the exhibit.   In her second solo show, Andrea Mary Marshall approaches the enigma of the Mona Lisa through a series of self-portraits rendered in diverse media. The Mona Lisa is the world’s most recognizable and replicated painting. Gia Condo explores the identity of this fascinating “subject of all subjects” by paying homage to artists previously inspired by da Vinci’s iconic image. Marshall draws inspiration from Dali, Duchamp and Warhol’s renderings as well as the myriad theories surrounding the identity of the sitter. Out of the competing ideas, the character of Gia Condo emerges, portrayed by Marshall herself. Marshall transforms the subject into the painter and allows the muse to become the master. In her thirteen Mona Lisa paintings, Marshall duplicates the material and size of da Vinci’s original, while altering the composition significantly. Additionally, there are six photographic portraits, a short film and film stills. As she takes us through several stages of Gia Condo’s transformations, the darker, masculine energy of the notorious woman is released. Marshall does not shy away from the power of drag as a transformative tool, and in doing so addresses the masculine side of femininity. While her previous series of work, Toxic Women, portrayed women as victims, Gia Condo celebrates a dynamic confidence and self-acceptance. The artists Marshall references in Gia Condo are male, with one notable exception. At the film’s finale, Gia Condo departs from her lineage of male painters and assumes the role of a Guerrilla Girl. It is at this moment that Marshall liberates Gia Condo from the frame of the painting, film and photographs and launches her into the world of flesh and blood. For the duration of the exhibition, Marshall will perform as Gia Condo, initiating with the opening on January 17th. Using the Gallery’s lower level as a studio, Gia will recreate da Vinci’s well known masterpieces in her own style. Visitors to the gallery are invited to watch as Gia Condo steps out of the canvas and takes up her own brush. What she will create remains entirely her own choice. Andrea Mary Marshall received her BFA from Parsons School of Design and has exhibited at Grey Area, New York, NY; Phillips de Pury & Company, New York, NY; Volume Gallery, New York, New York and Stephan Stoyanov Gallery, New York, NY.  Her work has been reviewed in Scene Magazine, Smug Magazine, Artlog, Opening Ceremony, Hi-Fructose, PaperMag and StyleLikeU.  She lives and works in New York City. This is her second solo exhibition with Allegra LaViola Gallery. About Allegra LaViola Gallery The Gallery’s focus is both established and emerging artists, with an emphasis on painting, installation and performance related work. Allegra LaViola Gallery is interested in promoting the fullness of the artist’s vision, and has been host to a variety of conceptual projects and installations, including performance series and one-night events.   Allegra LaViola Gallery | 179 East Broadway | New York, NY 10002 T 917.463.3901 E gallery@allegralaviola.com www.allegralaviola.com

FOUNTAIN NY RETURNS TO 69th REGIMENT ARMORY TO MARK 100 YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF ORIGINAL ARMORY SHOW

Photo: Morgan Reed, 69th Regiment Armory entrance, Fountain Art Fair 2012 Fountain Partners with WAGMAG, Brooklyn Art Guide, to Make History in the Original House of DADA (New York)  Fountain Art Fair announces its return to the 69th Regiment Armory for its 8th annual New York exhibition March 8 — 10, 2013. The art fair celebrates the centennial anniversary at the 1913 Armory Show’s original location. From the initial Armory Show to Marcel Duchamp’s controversial readymade, "Fountain," exhibited under the same roof in 1917, this historic venue is perfectly suited to Fountain’s reputation for presenting delightfully scandalous and unexpected platform of alternative artists, galleries, street art and performance art. Please find application details online here.   “It’s an incredible honor for Fountain to be carrying the torch for the universally heralded 1913 Armory Show, the first exhibition of modern art in the United States. We strive to be harbingers of the revolutionary. Fountain will certainly honor the legend by continuing the tradition of our predecessors at the 69th Regiment Armory during this centennial celebration.” ~ Fountain Co-Founders David Kesting and Johnny Leo Hailed as the destination fair for savvy collectors of the up-and-coming, Fountain prides itself on presenting a diverse platform of progressive galleries, independent artists, unpredictable performances and internationally renowned street artists. A handful of booths remain: visit Fountain’s website at www.fountainartfair.com to access NY 2013 exhibitor applications for the chance to be part of this historic event. This exhibition is made possible with the cooperation of WAGMAG, the not-for-profit guide to Brooklyn galleries that has promoted independent curators’ visions from Kings County for the last 11 years. Fountain welcomes new and returning exhibitors for its New York 2013 exhibition, including: Amanda Hudson Photography; Asan Gallery; Correa, Hagberg, Jimenez, Menard and Stewart; Dacia Gallery; Davis Art Services; EMP Gallery; Front Room Gallery; Gallery 4; Gallery DEN; Grace Exhibition Space; Greyegg McKenna; iArt-4 Collective; Kaboose Gallery; Leo Kesting Gallery; Lindsay Carron; Martha Raoli Project; MCCAIG + WELLES; Mighty Tanaka; Murder Lounge; Pete’s Fingers; Republic Worldwide; Sarah Trouche; Solo(s) Project House; Station 16; The Marketplace Gallery; The Parlour Bushwick; Yes Gallery. Fountain remains the only exhibition that regularly features a curated selection of contemporary performance art, highlighting Brooklyn-based performance art gallery Grace Exhibition Space as curator. This past December at Fountain’s Art Basel Miami Beach 2012 exhibition, Grace Space featured radical Estonian collective NON GRATA, who thrilled late night crowds with live human branding and light displays. Grace Space also invited artists Caridad Sola, Igor Josifov, Sindy Butz and AnalogAnalogue to engage Fountain attendees with a variety of serene, spectacular, and confrontational works. Last year’s New York exhibition included a high-flying act by daring aerial artist Seanna Sharpe and her team, who suspended themselves from the ceiling of the 69th Regiment Armory in a breathtaking performance. Fountain is notorious for its Friday and Saturday night events. Past musical guests include Chairlift, G Love, Marky Ramone, ADULT, No Age, VHS or Beta, Ninjasonik, Fab 5 Freddy, Tecla, TIKI DISCO, JPatt of The Knocks, Ricky Powell, NSR, Luka Son of Wolf, Eden Grey, and Lucas Walters.   Fountain invited local Miami writer J.J. Colagrande to be the fair’s first visiting writer for Art Basel Miami Beach 2012.  Read J.J.’s take on Fountain Art Fair and the Art Basel weekend on Fountain’s website. “Tons of community-oriented art, at price points that were actually, actually thinkable for your average alternative culture journalist.” ~ The San Francisco Bay Guardian “It’s the best place to find young talent.” ~ Cartwheel “Fountain remains truly a haven for the selt-taught, self-represented, and DIY rogues of the art world — a sort of organized free for all, with one part street art and one part explorations in formalist craft.” ~ ARTINFO For more information about exhibitors, schedule, and partnerships, please visit www.fountainartfair.com.

Jaimie Warren, "The Whoas of Female Tragedy II" opens January 10th

Self-Portrait as Kali Conner, digital C-print, 2012 JAIMIE WARREN The Whoas of Female Tragedy II January 10 - February 9, 2013 OPENING January 10, 6-9PM The Hole is proud to announce a new solo exhibition by Kansas City-based artist Jaimie Warren. In photographs that explore different female stereotypes from both art history and celebrity culture, distorted through the internet’s bizarre juxtapositions, disposable imagery and memes, this new body of work features the artist and her friends in roles as diverse as Zsa Zsa Gabor, Easy E, The Virgin Mary, Lana Del Rey or Picasso’s Les Demoiselles d’Avignon. Like a digital age, Midwestern Cindy Sherman, Warren camouflages herself in handmade costumes, sets and extensive makeup to impersonate internet-distorted celebrities, including a section of “food-lebrities” which you can perhaps imagine (“Lasagna Del Rey”). Unlike self-portrait artist Nikki Lee who aims to “pass” in various subcultures, Warren with her Rubenesque body, big blonde hair and rosy cheeks never quite fits in anywhere, perhaps best as her idol Roseanne Barr. The juxtaposition of her non-celebrity appearance with the sculpted and contrived publicity shots of Lil' Kim or Madonna bring the unreachably idealized form back to its much funner corporeal reality. The everyday disruptions of reality or offences to taste, perhaps, put her in some relationship to Wegee or Martin Parr, while her work overall defies specific reference to the history of photography, as perhaps she has more in common with the history of camp and the films of John Waters. The works feel as they came out of a young lady in the Midwest with a vivid imagination who had to make her own fun with her friends, and she has indeed collaborated with long time friends and fellow Kansas City artists Cody Critcheloe (SSION) and fashion designer Peggy Noland. Warren writes: “The self-portraits have always been a way of entertaining myself, as I live in a smaller city, and I have been taking them long before any one noticed let alone requested more. This is also why I co-created Whoop Dee Doo [a faux public access television show for children] as we are always creating our own projects and entertainment, essentially out of necessity” In this exhibition there are three different series of new works: one where Warren is re-creating found Photoshopped paintings from art history; the second body of work takes on found Photoshopped images that mix celebrities with food; while the last is from totallylookslike.com where people pair images of celebrities with objects, animals, food, other celebrities, etc. to show how they humorously look alike.  Warren puts in an enormous amount of handmade energy to recreate these Photoshop Frankensteins without the use of Photoshop, and all works in the show are unadulterated photographic prints.  Part of the insanity is to figure out why. Warren is interested in the anonymous nature of “bored at work” Photoshoppers especially in the art history series where venerated works of art history are ridiculously and abjectly altered in the most curious ways. Many sites feature famous paintings that are “pimped out” by adding Versace clothes and glittery phones or even racy lingerie to paintings of nudes. The ersatz humour of the internet and the slightly creepy concoctions of the public when bored with the barrage of celebrity images all fit well into her vaudevillian, Roseanne Barr-ean sense of humour that pervades all her art and performances. Jaimie Warren (b. 1980 Kansas City) is a photographer, performance artist and curator known for her theatrical, humorous self-portraits set in various scenarios and locations, whether constructed or real.   Her first solo exhibition was at Higher Pictures in NYC in 2009 and was reviewed in Artforum and many other well-known publications.  Warren’s first monograph was published by Aperture in 2008. Her work was debuted on tinyvices.com by curator Tim Barber who has also included her work in many group shows. She has participated in group exhibitions at Max Wigram in London, The MACRO Museum in Rome, Colette in Paris, Deitch Projects, NYC and many more. She and Matt Roche are co-directors of Whoop Dee Doo, a faux public access television show for kids. This exhibition is variation of The WHOAS of Female Tragedy presented at the Miami Dade College Museum of Art and Design this past fall. Warren collaborated with artist Lee Heinemann who created custom costumes and props. The Hole is open Tuesday through Saturday, 12 – 7PM For available works please contact kathy@theholenyc.com

LAST WEEK: Boys & Girls Closing Saturday, January 12th

Kim McCarty Red Boy (2012) Watercolor On Paper, 74h x 45w in  We are pleased to announce the extension of Kim McCarty's exhibition Boys & Girls through this Saturday, January 12th. Don't miss your last chance to see this powerful exhibition! Using a wet on wet technique, Kim McCarty's watercolors of larger than life beings express both flaws and perfection, realism and abstraction. They are capable of communicating a feeling or a mood that is universal, yet deeply intimate and personal. Some figures express longing, others seem sexy and intriguing, some innocent and unaware of our voyeurism. In these boys and girls we see our emotional selves reflected, and catch a glimpse of the fragility and tenuousness of the human experience.  CLICK HERE for more information on Boys & Girls.
