The Fifth Edition of Armory Focus Will Showcase the Strength and Diversity of Contemporary Art in China
|
| NEW YORK - Armory Focus, the curated section of The Armory Show, highlights the gallery and artistic landscape of a chosen geographic region. For the 2014 edition of the Fair, Philip Tinari, Director of The Ullens Center for Contemporary Art, Beijing, will curate Armory Focus: China, shining new light on the country’s contemporary cultural practice. In recognition of the dynamism of the Chinese art scene, The Armory Show will present an exciting selection of contemporary Chinese galleries, providing a forum for an ever-expanding international conversation at the fair. On lending his curatorial vision to the project Philip Tinari notes that, “China is central to the makeup of the world system today in ways that are well understood on the level of geopolitics but have not yet been fully elaborated in the realm of culture. The wave of national surveys—the so-called "China Shows"—that introduced the first generation of Chinese artists to New York has come and gone, leaving even a decade later an aftertaste of gaudy, symbolic, often derivative work. This persistent memory clouds efforts by individual actors to illuminate the dynamism, seriousness, and originality of the Chinese art scene and system today. This section aims to change that.” Noah Horowitz, Executive Director of The Armory Show states, “Just as Focus: China hopes to showcase the strength and diversity of players who now make up the country’s cultural scene it also seeks to complicate and destabilize prevailing Western notions about its artistic situation. The project ultimately aims to demonstrate that China is not just a site for great new art, but a place where current art world models are being made and remade, and where serious collecting is happening at an ever larger scale. We are honored to collaborate with such a visionary curator as Philip on this project and look forward to presenting the results of his extensive efforts at the fair next March.” Aiming to showcase the diversity of both artistic production and the art system in China, the section will include curated presentations by some twenty artists coming from diverse generational and regional backgrounds, ranging from the "Stars" generation of the late 1970s through the booming post-Mao generation born after 1975. A program of talks will elaborate some of the key issues for contemporary art in China today, from the development of the institutional infrastructure to the ongoing diversification of the Chinese market. The Armory Show is New York’s leading fair for modern and contemporary art. A seminal event in the annual New York arts calendar, the fair spearheads Armory Arts Week, a city-wide program of cultural events and exhibitions. The Armory Show 2014 will again feature an acclaimed VIP program, a lively opening night party at the Museum of Modern Art and the engaging Open Forum discussion series. Next year’s fair will also coincide with the opening of the 2014 Whitney Biennial in early March, further enhancing the line-up of Armory Arts Week events planned in partnership with New York’s cultural institutions, and attracting a wide scope of international collectors, curators, scholars, and press.

Mark Klett - Response To History: A 30 Year Retrospective
Binh Danh - Yosemite 
Top: Mark Klett, Contemplating the View at Muley Point, Utah, 5/13/94, 1994, gelatin silver print, 16" x 20", edition of 50
Bottom: Binh Danh, Bridalveil Fall, Yosemite, CA, May 04, 2012, Daguerreotype (in camera exposure), 6 1/2" x 8 1/2", unique Exhibition Dates: November 7th - December 28th, 2013 Opening Reception with Mark Klett and Binh Danh Thursday, November 7th, 2013 from 7 - 9pm Lisa Sette Gallery presents two Arizona-based photographers whose works explore the sublime landscapes of the American West and the individual human narratives playing out within them. A decades-long resident of Arizona, Mark Klett first came to the state as a geological researcher. He stayed on as a photographer, and for over three decades has documented the demanding environments and idiosyncrasies of life in the Southwest. Since his artistic project began in the 1970’s, Klett has received Guggenheim, NEA, and Governor’s Arts Awards, among many other accolades, and yet perhaps nothing is so indicative of his singular craft and aesthetic intention as his wide-ranging body of work, a selection of which will be included in an upcoming retrospective at Lisa Sette Gallery. From black and white photographs of discrete desert scenes, both alien and lovely, to the collage-like constructions of his “rephotographic panoramas” of the Grand Canyon, Klett’s works present the complicated attraction of the Western frontier and its enduring capacity for both inspiration and isolation. Klett’s images are consummate depictions of the untamable, immeasurable Western horizon as it intersects with our human imagination and intervention. Often, Klett and his collaborators, chiefly Byron Wolfe, combine archival imagery, such as postcards or guidebooks, with new and original photographs, expanding well-known scenes of grandeur to even grander proportions, and compelling his viewers to risk massive and exhilarating perspectives. Humans become minor details in these scenes, silhouetted presences on the precipice of incomprehensibly vast landscapes. From this precarious vantage point, we may observe the inexorable series of deep-time geological changes and human involvements that define the American West. As a child, Binh Danh examined photographs of National Parks as a way of escaping the boredom of working in his father’s television repair shop. Yet he had never visited his home state’s own inaugural park until he embarked on the series of exquisite daguerreotype images that make up the photographer’s Yosemite series. Danh, who grew up in suburban California after his family fled the turmoil in Vietnam in the 1970s, has commented that until recently, “Yosemite, like the Vietnam war, only existed in my imagination because I only saw the landscape in photographs.” Lately that dream-like landscape has been threatened by wildfires and Binh Danh’s unique daguerreotypes remind us of the precious quality of a pristine wilderness that can be lost at any moment. Danh is well known for his rigorous photographic experimentation, having previously innovated a method of printing images on living leaves in order to create a botanical archive of victims of the atrocities in Vietnam and Cambodia. Similarly, creation of the Yosemite series involved outfitting a specialized van for the on-site creation of large-scale daguerreotypes and spending many seasons camping and working from within the park. An in-camera exposure that is chemically etched on silver-coated copper plates, the daguerreotype is a difficult and early photographic process resulting in photographic objects with mirror-like reflective surfaces. Danh’s images of well-known sites, such as Bridalveil Fall, are both transportingly gorgeous and eerily mutable, as we see our own faces, and the faces of people around us, reflected in their sublime surfaces. In Danh’s re-envisioning, these much-photographed scenes of American splendor become unique, individual representations of the multitude of experiences of the American West, from the vistas of Yosemite to the suburban daydreams of a young immigrant artist.
Lisa Sette Gallery maintains a very active exhibition schedule, mounting approximately 10 exhibitions a year ranging in theme and genre. For nearly 30 years, the gallery has been committed to showcasing a range of contemporary photography, sculpture, painting, installation and performance art.

Susan Marx exhibits paintings of Israel at the A. Jain Marunouchi Gallery, 24 West 57 Street
Abstract Impressionist Susan Marx - The Israel Paintings
Paintings of Jerusalem and the Negev Desert
A. Jain Marunouchi Gallery
24 West 57 Street, 6th floor, New York, NY 10019
October 1 – October 26, 2013
Gallery Hours: Tuesday – Sunday, 11:00 am – 5 pm.
Opening reception, Thursday, October 10, 5:30 pm – 7:30 pm
Susan Marx exhibits paintings of Israel at the A. Jain Marunouchi Gallery, 24 West 57 Street, 6th floor, New York, NY 10019,October 1 -26, 2013. Opening Reception October 10.
On exhibit will be six paintings, scenes of Jerusalem and the Negev, painted en plein air, on site in Israel this past summer, July 2013.
Marx is an Abstract Impressionist. Her art comes from her radical amazement at the visual world around her, and her need to turn that visual experience into paint. Israel is a place of great meaning for her. The emotion of being in Israel comes through on each canvas. They are a passionate depiction of Jerusalem and the Negev. The canvases are colorful emotional interpretations with paint-filled brushstrokes of a land that she loves.
Speaking about her work, Marx says: “I love color. I see color everywhere. I am drawn to a specific spot and look and look and look. I load up my palette, pick up a brush, holding it as a conductor would hold his baton, and begin. At that point, I don’t speak to the canvas, instead the canvas speaks to me. I smell the air and the landscape in front of me. I am transported. I paint but lose the concept of time. Fast, faster, passionately painting, furiously painting. I cannot get the colors down fast enough. Then suddenly I need air. I stop and step back to look at my canvas one last time. The painting is done.
“I try to capture the essence in my painting, the color and the emotion, and leave the rest to the viewer’s imagination, to bring him into the painting.
“Someone once said I work to the muse of Monet, Van Gogh and Joan Mitchell; I was thrilled. They helped guide me to develop my own personal visual expression and style to share with the world.”
Susan Marx is represented by and exhibits at the A. Jain Marunouchi Gallery, 24 West 57th Street, the Agora Gallery, 520 West 25th Street and the Amsterdam Whitney Gallery, 531 West 25th Street in New York City. She has also exhibited at the Fox Gallery, the Keane Mason Gallery and The Emerging Collector in New York and in New Jersey at the Robin Hutchins Gallery, the Korby Gallery, the Hait Gallery, Nitsa Fine Arts, the Marino Gallery, The Art Gallery of South Orange, The Gaelen Gallery East, The Tenth Muse, and The Right Angle. She exhibited in Paris at the Musée des Duncan. In Israel, she showed her work at the Museum of Printing Art in Safed and at the Artist's House in Jerusalem.
Marx's paintings are is in private collections in the United States and abroad. She lives in Orange, NJ and volunteers at the Montclair Art Museum and the Newark Museum.

Reynolds Fine Art, Breaking Boundaries: The Art of Susan Weinreich
Reynolds Fine Art
Presents
Breaking Boundaries:
The Art of Susan Weinreich
Reynolds Fine Art is pleased to offer a hand picked selection of early Vintage Drawings executed by the artist, Susan Weinreich, in the 1970’s. Raw and Frenetic, these drawings were created on the cusp of the artist’s descent into schizophrenia. Also included in this exhibition is a selection of signed Black and White Woodcut Prints, Powerfully Bold and Unique, produced from the 35 original blocks executed by Weinreich during the acute phase of her illness. A corresponding selection of the original Blocks, themselves, will also be on display throughout the show. The exhibit concludes with significant and highly compelling Large Scale Pastels and Mixed Media works created during the early phase of Weinreich’s recovery.
“Art is the noblest way to make a seeming tragedy into the occasion of triumph. Susan Weinreich’s drawings and paintings have that redemptive quality: they reach unabashedly into darkness and thrust into shattering clarity, telling the story of their sometimes tortured inspiration from a hard-earned place of safety. These brave pictures, suffused with intimacy, elaborate her unstinting gaze at both the smoothness of the world’s surfaces and the jagged turmoil of the human mind. Susan Weinreich is remarkable for the art she has made in sickness and in health, for the profound emergence from schizophrenia she has achieved, and for the intense self-awareness that has marked her recovery.” -Andrew Solomon, PhD, is a writer and lecturer on politics, culture, psychology and the arts.
Susan Weinreich is a celebrated American Artist, Lecturer and Mental Health Advocate whose paintings and drawings have been exhibited across the nation. At the request of galleries, universities, public corporations and private non-profit organizations, Susan has spoken in the United States and Canada about her art and the impact of her past illness on her life. Her art and life story have been featured in the national press, including the New York Times.
Originally diagnosed in 1975 with paranoid schizophrenia while attending the Rhode Island School of Design. Weinreich’s recovery from her illness provides an important lesson for us all in the power of heroic commitment, perseverance and healing to affect change. Her work both as an advocate for those less fortunate and as an artist has made much impact on the lives of many people and their energy.
Ms. Weinreich’s artwork is in the collection of numerous individuals, public and private, including, The William Jefferson Clinton Presidential Library in Little Rock, Arkansas, the World Corporate Headquarters of Eli Lilly in Indianapolis, Indiana, and the Four Winds Hospital, in Katonah, New York.
The Show will be on display from October 4th through the 29th at Reynolds Fine Art located in New Haven’s historic 9th square on 96 Orange St. The Shows opening reception will be held on Friday the 4th of October. Open Studio lectures scheduled for the 19thand 20th of October. For inquiries please contact us at 203.498.2200 or email us at info@reynoldsfineart.com.

@redbullNYC #CanvasCooler | http://www.redbullusa.com/
WHAT:
Red Bull Curates: The Canvas Cooler Project New York is pairing 20 handpicked New York-based artists with venue owners from some of the city’s hottest local bars, lounges and restaurants. Selected artists will be given a one-day challenge to transform a blank, canvas-wrapped Red Bull Cooler into an inspired work of art customized for permanent display at each venue. The art created will be exhibited in a one-night only public showcase on Thursday, September 19 at The 1896 in Brooklyn. Attending guests and a panel of curatorial judges will vote on each piece, sending two artists, and possibly a third, to SCOPE Miami Beach in December, where they will show and sell a collection of their work during the world's premier international art show for modern and contemporary works, Art Basel.
In addition to the two New York artists selected by the luminary panel of judges the night of the showcase, two additional artists will be entered into the People’s Choice Award pool, which gives one more artist the opportunity to join the group show at SCOPE Miami Beach. The two artists will be chosen based upon the number of social media mentions using their custom hashtag on Twitter the night of the event, and the People’s Choice Award will be announced in November.
The New York exhibition is the fifth in this national art tour of six cities. The Canvas Cooler Project 2013 launched in San Francisco in January, with additional exhibitions in Los Angeles, Chicago and Dallas, honoring a diverse group of artists from mixed disciplines including fine art, street art, graphic design and more. By combining social media, local industry and a no-boundaries stance on art style, this forward-thinking art tour has set a new tone for taking local artists communities and placing them on a global platform. The final exhibition and competition before the group show at SCOPE Miami Beach will be hosted in Atlanta on October 17.

Casey Chalem Anderson “Atlantic Curl at Dune Beach” 24 x 36 oil
|
The change of season as if on cue after Labor Day startled me. Right away, I felt loss that somehow the summer got away. As soon as I realized how futile a thought that was and how it didn’t serve me one bit, I shifted to appreciating what is here. And it is glorious!
At the ocean the water is alive with very small white caps in the distance. As the current rolls in and across eastward all is activated. Yet the people at the beach seem calmer. They certainly have more space for themselves than in the high season. The energy is no longer frenzied with the pressure of squeezing in a good time memory of the summer.
September at the beach is a bonus to enjoy. People are simply happy to be here, right now in this very moment. The relief is palpable. I see it on people’s faces as they walk on to the beach and take in the vast ocean that is so much deeper, bigger and more powerful that we can imagine.
Here is my most recent Atlantic Ocean wave from Dune Beach in Southampton, a Peconic Land Trust conserved property. I always find luxurious color in the diffused light and sparkling bursts of foam in the waves as they crash to shore.

In 2013 the Art Basel show in Miami Beach will feature 258 leading international galleries, drawn from 31 countries across North and South America, Europe, Asia, and Africa.

Art Basel in Miami Beach, whose Lead Partner is UBS, will take place at the Miami Beach Convention Center from December 5 to December 8, 2013.
The 2013 Miami Beach show asserts again its status as the premier destination for galleries from the United States and Latin America, with nearly half of this year’s exhibitors coming from those regions. Galleries with exhibition spaces in 31 countries across North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia and Africa, including Argentina, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, Colombia, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, India, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Monaco, Norway, Peru, Poland, Portugal, Singapore, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Thailand, Turkey, United Kingdom, United States, and Uruguay are participating at this year's show.
