Andrew Schoultz: New Work, Opens Thursday, September 5
Andrew Schoultz, Engulfed Ship (Black Flags) (2013), Acrylic And Collage On Canvas Over Panel, 36h x 48w in
Andrew Schoultz: New Work
September 5 - October 12, 2013
Reception: Thursday, September 5, 6 - 8pm
Morgan Lehman Gallery is very pleased to announce artist Andrew Schoultz's third solo exhibition with the gallery, titled New Work. The exhibition will open September 5, 2013 and run through October 12th, with an opening reception for the artist on September 5th from 6 - 8pm.
Andrew Schoultz's multi-faceted practice incorporates monumental wall murals, paintings, sculptures and mixed-media installations that investigate the urgency and perplexities of our modern time. Over the past decade, Schoultz has developed a frenetic visual vocabulary that stands to challenge the modern pursuit of accumulation and power. Dense with historical symbols of war, spirituality, and imperialism, Schoultz's work serves as a metaphor for contemporary American society, destined to repeat the errors of its past. Juxtaposing influences from 15th century German map making and Persian miniature paintings with highly-stylized graffiti and street art, Schoultz further cultivates this conversation between the past and present.
Often re-appropriating objects laden with cultural and historical implications, Schoultz provocatively confronts significant socio-political issues. In Para Trooping Skull Ship (2013), a green sky of $7,000 in shredded US currency cradles a ship with skull painted flags. Meditation Under Stress (2013) also resonates deeply with issues of corporate and political greed and excess, as, in his signature style, an actual American flag appears to drip or bleed in gold. Images of thrashing waters, erupting volcanoes and distressed trees are also prevalent in his new work, reminding us of nature's devastating fury and recalling the catastrophic realities of global warming. It is through the pulsing repetition of this historically loaded imagery, as it continues to be redefined in the face of a contemporary world, that Schoultz's cultural, political and environmental commentary can accurately reflect the turmoil of today's America.
Andrew Schoultz received his BFA from the Academy of Art University, San Francisco (CA). Schoultz's first solo museum show "In Process" is currently on view at The Monterey Museum of Art. This important exhibition features work from an extensive list of prominent collections and includes four major site-specific installations based upon the local histories of Monterey. His work is collected by major public institutions, including the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (CA), Los Angeles County Museum of Art (CA), Frederick R. Weisman Foundation (CA) and the Progressive Art Collection (OH). His murals can be found in various public locations nationally and internationally. Schoultz currently lives and works in San Francisco, CA.

ESPN Films & espnW's NINE FOR IX Presents:
THE DIPLOMAT
Premieres Tuesday, August 6 at 8:00PM ET
Directors | Jennifer Arnold and Senain Kheshgi
Cast | Katarina Witt, Brian Boitano
SYNOPSIS | At the height of the Cold War, Katarina Witt became one of East Germany’s most famous athletes. Trained in an ice rink that gave rise to socialist heroes, Witt dominated her field by winning six European skating titles, five world championships and back-to-back Olympic gold medals to become arguably the world’s best figure skater. Known as “the most beautiful face of socialism” her success gave her a unique status in East Germany. It also triggered constant surveillance by the Stasi, East Germany’s notorious secret police force. This film chronicles how Witt, one of the greatest skaters of all time, fought for her future in socialist East Germany, how she faced the great changes that occurred after the fall of The Berlin Wall and, ultimately, how she ended up both a beneficiary and victim of the East German regime.
**Katarina Witt and Directors available for interviews**
The remainder of the Nine for IX series on ESPN will air Tuesday nights at 8 p.m. ET as follows:
August 6: The Diplomat

IFP’S 23rd ANNUAL GOTHAM INDEPENDENT FILM AWARDS CEREMONY
TO TAKE PLACE ON MONDAY, DECEMBER 2nd
AT CIPRIANI WALL STREET IN
NEW YORK CITY
New ‘Best Actor’ and ‘Best Actress’ Categories Added
Deadline for Submissions is September 20th, 2013
New York, NY (July 31, 2013) –The Independent Filmmaker Project®, the nation’s oldest and largest organization of independent filmmakers, today announced that the 23rd Annual Gotham Independent Film Awards will take place this year at Cipriani Wall Street in New York City on Monday, December 2nd.
Also, for the first time, Gotham Awards will be presented in the newly added competitive categories of Best Actor and Best Actress.
The first award show of the season, the Gotham Independent Film Awards, established in 1991, celebrate the authentic voices behind and in front of the camera in the year’s best American independent feature films. Submissions are now open for the 2013 awards.
The Gothams provide critical early recognition to worthy independent films and their writers, directors, producers, and actors. Past winners include MOONRISE KINGDOM , BEASTS OF THE SOUTHERN WILD, and HOW TO SURVIVE A PLAGUE (2012); BEGINNERS, THE TREE OF LIFE, and BETTER THIS WORLD (2011), WINTER’S BONE and THE OATH (2010), THE HURT LOCKER and FOOD, INC. (2009), FROZEN RIVER and TROUBLE THE WATER (2008), INTO THE WILD and SICKO (2007) and HALF NELSON and IRAQ IN FRAGMENTS (2006), all of which went on to numerous awards and Oscar™ nominations.
Each year IFP chooses a jury of innovators and icons in documentary and feature film directing, producing, cinematography, and acting to bestow the Gotham’s competitive awards. In addition to the new Best Actor and Best Actress awards, the seven competitive awards for 2013 include Best Feature, Best Documentary, Breakthrough Actor, and the Bingham Ray Breakthrough Director Award. All nominees for these honors are determined by nominating committees of critics and programmers. Additionally the Gotham Audience Award allows film enthusiasts around the globe to vote online for the winner.
The Breakthrough Director Award, given for the best first feature, has been renamed in honor of Bingham Ray, the late distribution executive. The award for Ensemble Performance will henceforth be presented on occasion as a special award, and the award for the best film without distribution–Best Film Not Playing at a Theater Near You®–is being discontinued as an award. However, the best undistributed films of the year will continue to be showcased through IFP’s partnership with The Museum of Modern Art to present the ninth annual Best Film Not Playing At a Theatre Near You® screening series in November 2013, at MoMA.
“This has been a rich year for independent films – both those films out now and others on the release horizon,” said Joana Vicente, IFP Executive Director. "It promises to be an exciting season, and as the home of independent film, it is IFP’s goal to celebrate these projects and the artists’ work behind each film, helping to bring them to the attention of wider audiences."
In addition to seven competitive categories, the Gotham Independent Film Awards also recognize those who have made significant contributions to independent filmmaking by selecting individuals to single out in tribute. Last year the organization feted director David O. Russell, actors Matt Damon and Marion Cotillard, and Participant Media founder and chairman Jeff Skoll. The 2013 Tributes will be announced in the next weeks.
For the third year, IFP will present the euphoria Calvin Klein Spotlight on Women Filmmakers ‘Live the Dream’ grant, a $25,000 cash award for an alumnus of IFP’s Independent Filmmaker Labs. This grant aims to further the careers of emerging female directors by supporting the completion, distribution and audience engagement strategies of their first feature film. The 2012 winner of this grant was Stacie Passon, writer/director of the upcoming RADiUS-TWC release, Concussion. In addition, euphoria Calvin Klein will present the newly created award for Best Actress.
Submissions are now being accepted in six of the competitive categories: Best Feature, Best Documentary, Best Actor, Best Actress, Breakthrough Actor, and the Bingham Ray Breakthrough Director Award. Applications, along with full criteria, are available at http://gotham.ifp.org.
The deadline for submissions is September 20th.
