Herman's House

Herman's House @hermansfilm hermanshousethefilm.com Trailer Dear Friends, It is with tremendous sadness that we must inform you that only three days after being released from prison, Herman Wallace has passed away this morning from liver cancer.  We thought to share with you the entire text of the enewsletter which the Angola 3 Campaign sent out a short while ago with this news. This morning we lost without a doubt the biggest, bravest, and brashest personality in the political prisoner world.  It is with great sadness that we write with the news of Herman Wallace's passing. Herman never did anything half way.  He embraced his many quests and adventures in life with a tenacious gusto and fearless determination that will absolutely never be rivaled.  He was exceptionally loyal and loving to those he considered friends, and always went out of his way to stand up for those causes and individuals in need of a strong voice or fierce advocate, no matter the consequences. Anyone lucky enough to have spent any time with Herman knows that his indomitable spirit will live on through his work and the example he left behind.  May each of us aspire to be as dedicated to something as Herman was to life, and to justice. Below is a short obituary/press statement for those who didn't know him well in case you wish to circulate something.  Tributes from those who were closest to Herman and more information on how to help preserve his legacy by keeping his struggle alive will soon follow. On October 4th, 2013, Herman Wallace, an icon of the modern prison reform movement and an innocent man, died a free man after spending an unimaginable 41 years in solitary confinement. Herman spent the last four decades of his life fighting against all that is unjust in the criminal justice system, making international the inhuman plight that is long term solitary confinement, and struggling to prove that he was an innocent man.  Just 3 days before his passing, he succeeded, his conviction was overturned, and he was released to spend his final hours surrounded by loved ones.  Despite his brief moments of freedom, his case will now forever serve as a tragic example that justice delayed is justice denied. Herman Wallace's early life in New Orleans during the heyday of an unforgiving and unjust Jim Crow south often found him on the wrong side of the law and eventually he was sent to the Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola for armed robbery.  While there, he was introduced to the Black Panther's powerful message of self determination and collective community action and quickly became one of its most persuasive and ardent practitioners. Not long after he began to organize hunger and work strikes to protest the continued segregation, endemic corruption, and horrific abuse rampant at the prison, he and his fellow panther comrades Albert Woodfox and Robert King were charged with murders they did not commit and thrown in solitary. Robert was released in 2001 after 29 years in solitary but Herman remained there for an unprecedented 41 years, and Albert is still in a 6x9 solitary cell. Herman's criminal case ended with his passing, but his legacy will live on through a civil lawsuit he filed jointly with Robert and Albert that seeks to define and abolish long term solitary confinement as cruel and unusual punishment, and through his comrade Albert Woodfox's still active and promising bid for freedom from the wrongful conviction they both shared. Herman was only 9 days shy of 72 years old. Services will be held in New Orleans. The date and location will be forthcoming.

Chris Burden: Extreme Measures at the New Museum
This October, the New Museum will present an expansive presentation of Chris Burden’s work that marks the first New York survey of the artist and his first major exhibition in the US in over twenty-five years.
Burden’s epoch-defining work has made him one of the most important American artists to emerge since 1970. Spanning a forty-year career and moving across mediums, “Extreme Measures” presents a selection of Burden’s work focused on weights and measures, boundaries and constraints, where physical and moral limits are called into question.
Over the past four decades, Burden has created a unique and powerful body of work that has redefined the way we understand both performance and sculpture.

Vasily Kandinsky: From Blaue Reiter to the Bauhaus, 1910-1925 at the Neue Galerie
While Vasily Kandinsky (1866-1944) is celebrated as a father of abstraction, the artist is lesser known as an early pioneer of installation art. Connecting art, music, and theater, this exhibition of masterworks explores the development of Kandinsky's art during a crucial chapter of his career: from the Blaue Reiter period into the pure abstraction and total environments of his Bauhaus years. Central to the exhibition is a gallery devoted to the reconstruction of Kandinsky's murals for theJuryfreie Kunstschau (Jury-Free Art Show) held in Berlin in 1922, a utopian project designed by Kandinsky and executed by his Bauhaus students. Over 80 works comprise the show, including large-scale paintings, rare drawings, and decorative objects.

The Armory Show at 100: Modern Art and Revolution at The New-York Historical Society
Works by Duchamp, Matisse, Picasso, Cézanne, Gauguin, and Van Gogh will be on display in The Armory Show at 100: Modern Art and Revolution, which revisits the famous 1913 New York Armory Show on its 100th anniversary. In 1913, the International Exhibition of Modern Art came to New York. Organized by a small group of American artists and presented at the Lexington Avenue Armory (and thus nicknamed the Armory Show), it introduced the American public to European avant-garde painting and sculpture. This exhibition is an exploration of how the Armory Show inspired seismic shifts in American culture, politics, and society.
The New-York Historical Society's exhibition reassesses the Armory Show with a carefully chosen group of one hundred masterworks from the 1913 show. The exhibition includes American and European paintings and sculpture that will represent the scandalous avant-garde and the range of early twentieth-century American art. It will also include historical works (dating through the nineteenth century) that the original organizers gathered in an effort to show the progression of modern art leading up to the controversial abstract works that have become the Armory Show’s hallmark.
The 2013 exhibition revisits the Armory Show from an art-historical point of view, shedding new light on the artists represented and how New Yorkers responded. It will also place this now-legendary event within the context of its historical moment in the United States and the milieu of New York City in ca. 1911–1913. To that end, music, literature and early film will be considered, as well as the political and economic climate.

An icon of 1990s Japanese pop art, the visionary artist Mariko Mori has always transformed herself effortlessly and faster than anyone else into the future. Japan Society Gallery presents her latest countenance in this major solo exhibition, Rebirth, as a significant artistic statement by Mori. The entire gallery space is transformed into Mori's world through 35 sculptures, drawings, photographs, sound and video works, strung together into a narrative of birth, death and rebirth--a continuous circle of life force that the artist observes on a cosmic scale. Journey through space, time and consciousness in this immersive installation.

Mike Kelley at MoMA PS1
MoMA PS1 presents Mike Kelley, the largest exhibition of the artist’s work to-date and the first comprehensive survey since 1993. Regarded as one of the most influential artists of our time, Mike Kelley (1954–2012) produced a body of deeply innovative work mining American popular culture and both modernist and alternative traditions—which he set in relation to relentless self- and social examinations, both dark and delirious. Bringing together over 200 works, from early pieces made during the 1970s through 2012, the exhibition occupies the entire museum. This exhibition marks the largest exhibition MoMA PS1 has ever done and the first time the museum has devoted the entire building to a single artist.

Mike Kelley: Extracurricular Activity Projective Reconstruction #1 at the Museum of Modern Art
In conjunction with the retrospective exhibition on view at MoMA PS1, MoMA presents Mike Kelley’s Extracurricular Activity Projective Reconstruction #1 (A Domestic Scene), a half-hour drama inspired by a photograph of a school play found in a high school yearbook.
Written and directed by Kelley in 2000, this one-act melodrama explores the psychologically fraught relationship between two men as it unfolds in a room centered around a gas stove. This video was the inaugural installment of Kelley’s monumental 36-part project, a series of performance works intended to fill in the blanks left by forgotten or repressed memories, with narratives of standardized abuse.

The Fashion World of Jean Paul Gaultier: From the Sidewalk to the Catwalk at the Brooklyn Museum
The Brooklyn Museum is the only East Coast venue for The Fashion World of Jean Paul Gaultier: From the Sidewalk to the Catwalk, the first international exhibition dedicated to the groundbreaking French couturier. Playful, poetic, and transformative, Gaultier’s superbly crafted and detailed garments are inspired by the beauty and diversity of global cultures.
This multimedia exhibition is organized around seven themes tracing the influences on Gaultier's development—from the streets of Paris to the cinema—since he emerged as a designer in the 1970s. It features approximately 140 haute couture and prêt-à-porter ensembles, from the designer’s earliest to his most recent collections, many of which are displayed on custom mannequins with interactive faces created by high-definition audiovisual projections.

Christopher Wool at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum
At the heart of Christopher Wool’s creative project, which spans three decades of highly focused practice, is the question of how a picture can be conceived, realized, and experienced today. Engaging the complexities of painting as a medium, as well as the anxious rhythms of the urban environment and a wide range of cultural references, his agile, largely monochrome works propose an open-ended series of responses to this central problem. This retrospective will fill the museum’s Frank Lloyd Wright–designed rotunda and an adjacent gallery with a rich selection of paintings, photographs, and works on paper, forming the most comprehensive examination to date of Wool’s career.

Rituals of Rented Island: Object Theater, Loft Performance, and the New Psychodrama—Manhattan, 1970–1980 at the Whitney Museum
This exhibition illuminates a radical period of 1970s performance art that flourished in downtown Manhattan, or what filmmaker and performance artist Jack Smith called “Rented Island,” and still remains largely unknown today. Working in lofts, storefronts, and alternative spaces, this group of artists, with backgrounds in theater, dance, music, and visual art, created complex new forms of performance to embody and address contemporary media, commercial culture, and high art.

Public Art Fund Talks: Mark Manders
Mark Manders' distinctive multi-disciplinary practice encompasses installation, sculpture, drawing and projected imagery. With carefully constructed assemblages of furniture, human and animal figures, newspapers, welded metal piping, light bulbs, and the ephemera of daily life, Manders’ enigmatic installations reflect an ongoing interest in creating a metaphorical self-portrait. To create his work, he fabricates each individual element in the studio, recreating everyday objects like newspapers, wood beams, or milled screws that, while familiar, are stripped of real-world references. As part of his working process, Manders “tests a work” by imagining it in a supermarket “to see if it can survive there, without being labeled as an artwork.” Manders’ talk will focus on his interest in public space and the dialogue between between life and art.

1913 The World Implodes: A Series of Talks and Performances at The Metropolitan Museum of Art
Europe was on the verge of committing suicide; Africa burst into Western consciousness; technology was on a dizzying trajectory; music was losing its grip on tonality, slipping loudly into entropy. Two monumental works were premiered within eight months of each other: Schoenberg's Pierrot Lunaire and Stravinsky's Rite of Spring.
To put this striking period into context—and perhaps find parallels with our own time—Met Museum Presents offers a series of conversations and concerts.

ICP Lecture Series: Sophie Calle
Sophie Calle is a French photographer, writer, and installation artist. By weaving together images with narrative, Calle lends a perspective that is equal parts observer of others and observer of self. Brimming with psychological motifs, Calle’s work pays particular attention to ideas around absence, intimacy, and vulnerability, while nimbly juxtaposing concepts of private and public, subject and object.
Calle's prolific career as a conceptual artist includes extensive international exhibitions, work in numerous museum collections, and representation by Paula Cooper and Barbara Krakow galleries, as well as Galerie Perrotin of Paris. Calle lives and works in Malakoff, France.

The Creative Time Summit 2013: Art, Place, and Dislocation in the 21st-Century City
The 2013 Creative Time Summit sets its sights on the fact that culture, for good or bad, is an active ingredient in the construction and shaping of the contemporary city. Tapping into widespread debate on this issue, this year’s Summit provides a global platform for consideration of the trials, tribulations, artistic practices, campaigns, theories, and practicalities that accompany this phenomenon. As the active role of culture in the city gains traction not only with artists but also with architects, city planners, philanthropists, and developers—from eye-popping monumental sculpture, to arts districts, to battles over eviction and squatting—this year’s Summit provides a timely opportunity to debate and consider a variety of artistic approaches to this contemporary condition.
Every year at the Creative Time Summit, the most innovative artists, activists, critics, writers, and curators come together in New York to engage with one another and a global audience about how they are attempting to change our world in unprecedented ways.

Kabinett: Curated group and solo exhibitions spotlighted at Art Basel in Miami Beach

Kabinett: Curated group and solo exhibitions spotlighted at Art Basel in Miami Beach 

A diverse range of curatorial concepts drive the Kabinett sector at the 2013 Art Basel show in Miami Beach. Chosen by the show's Selection Committee, 25 galleries present tightly focused exhibitions within a designated section of their booths, including group and solo shows by historical figures and emerging artists. 

A celebrated sector of the Miami Beach show since 2005, Kabinett gives gallerists a strong platform to display the curatorial aspect of their work. Bridging the gap between performance and the exhibition space, Kavi Gupta Gallery features Theaster Gates’s 'Migration Rickshaw for German Living', a presentation of one of the 12 ballads for the Huguenot House, which the artist created for Documenta 13 in Kassel, Germany. Henrique Faria Fine Art’s exhibition ‘Body: Air, Water and Earth’ documents Yeni and Nan’s most emblematic photographs, video art and the groundbreaking action-based art from the 70s and 80s. Luciana Brito Galeria exhibits the results of Marina Abramović’s extensive research on the Brazilian countryside, with a series of works never seen before – the groundwork for a project planned for Brazil in 2015. 

Kabinett’s appeal reflects the potential to discover unknown artists as well as to rediscover established artists. Hirschl & Adler Modern presents a selection of drawings from the remarkable Outsider artist James Edward Deeds, while Francis M. Naumann Fine Art features a thoughtful consideration of Man Ray’s work as a printmaker. A rare series of small scale painted wooden objects of the 1950s and early 60s by Leon Polk Smith is on show at Valerie Carberry Gallery. Yvon Lambert's Kabinett is dedicated to an installation by Damir Očko focussing on a poem by the artist titled 'We saw nothing but the uniform blue of the Sky'. Alexander Gray Associates presents a focused selection of historical works by Luis Camnitzer, executed between 1972–73. 

Reflecting Latin America's vibrant art scenes, Kabinett presents a wide range of work by artists from and tied to the continent. Galerie 1900-2000 dedicates its Kabinett presentation to drawings by Marius de Zayas, a Mexican artist, writer and art gallery owner who was influential in the New York arts circles of the 1910s and 1920s. Galerie Thomas Schulte features a selection of new works across a variety of media, including found objects and assemblage by Danilo Dueñas. Presenting Raymundo Colares alongside José Bento, A Gentil Carioca juxtaposes two generations of Brazilian artists. For his solo exhibition at Rhona Hoffman Gallery, Luis Gispert continues his meticulous anthropological study of American subcultures to re-appropriate traditional codes of photography and 20th century sculpture. Exhibited works portray Gispert’s fascination with the fetishization of Latin American modernism, Latin American music, and the Black Power movement of the 1960s. Additional highlights in Kabinett include Sam Francis’s historic paintings at Van Doren Waxter, Sean Scully’s pastels on paper at Galerie Lelong and recent works from Mel Kendrick’s complex sculptural practice, plus works on paper, at David Nolan Gallery. Lehmann Maupin presents the gestural sculptures of Tracey Emin’s latest series alongside a series of self-portraits. Al Taylor’s prints and mixed media works at Niels Borch Jensen Galerie, presented in collaboration with David Zwirner, draw into question the perception of reality by blurring the real, the imagined and the illusional. A related inquiry is found in Galerie Urs Meile’s presentation of Hu Qingyan’s 'Edition of 8', eight marble sculptures carved precisely according to the original model of a single rock that the artist selected in Hebei, China. Art : Concept’s installation of works by Richard Fauguet includes a Moleskine notebook containing 117 drawings created through 

frottage – rubbing over a textured surface – that creates a dialog on the nature and perception of the image. Further presentations include a sculpture and neon by Claire Fontaine at Metro Pictures, and Richard Meier at Galerie Gmurzynska. 

Finally, Kabinett’s format allows perspectives on an artist’s long-term practice. Galerie Nathalie Obadia’s solo show of Martin Barré presents four works from between 1959 and 1992, showing the evolution and influence of his work over more than 40 years. Mehdi Chouakri’s exhibition of recent works by Gerold Miller reflects a dramatic shift in the work of an artist concerned with the most fundamental questions of sculpture, relief, painting, and installation. Kicken Berlin presents a survey on the theme of night time, made manifest through a tightly curated selection of photographers from all over the world, while Galerie Krinzinger shows a selection of artists from the gallery's long-running international residency program. 

The full list of artists presented as part of Kabinett is available at artbasel.com/miamibeach/kabinett.

Artists for Peace & The Environment at NYC Contemporary Art Fair

ARTISTS FOR PEACE & THE ENVIRONMENT

@NEW YORK CITY CONTEMPORARY ART FAIR

JAVITS CENTER NORTH OCT. 25-27, 2013

“Artists for Peace and the Environment grew out of the 1960s peace and love movement which were the roots of the original Woodstock. The social context may have varied but the issues and ideals essentially remain the same today. The intent is to carry the message from generation to generation.”

— Jamie Ellin Forbes

“Art is an eternal and essential cornerstone in the process of creating great musical events. Art and music are connected to the soul. This has been fundamental throughout all of the

Woodstock Festivals starting in 1969 and continuing with monumental art walls in 1994 and 1999.”

— Michael Lang

“Themes of peace, the environment and love never go out of style when coupled with
Rock and Roll as delivered via Woodstock in a lasting cultural impression no one can deny.”.

A major cultural exhibition, ARTISTS FOR PEACE & THE ENVIRONMENT, will be on display in all its revolutionary and artistic glory at The New York City Contemporary Art Fair, Oct. 25-27 in the stunning new Javits Center North pavilion. Developed with Michael Lang (one of the primary forces behind the epic Woodstock Festival of 1969) and directed and curated by Jamie Ellin Forbes, publisher of Fine Art Magazine, “Artists For Peace & The Environment” is comprised of paintings expressly created for Woodstock on 4’ x 8’ canvasses

Originally this broad body of work by notable artists, musicians and show business personalities and a new generation of artists was exhibited at Woodstock ’99, in Rome NY. Paintings by Hog Farm luminary Wavy Garvy in collaboration with Trixie Garcia (Jerry’s daughter), Tico Tores (Bon Jovi’s drummer), Wade Smith, Lorraine Bracco (of The Sopranos), Stan Natchez, Christo, and Steve Kerner (among many others) are featured along with works by noted Graffiti artists Craig Cartwright, Ron English, Anthony Ausgang, Zephyr, Ward Sutton and Van Arno. All were installed for exhibition in the Art Tent erected on site in the Woodstock ’99 Art Park.

Michael Lang has had an ongoing commitment to the visual arts dating to the original Woodstock in 1969 which was officially called “The Woodstock Music and Art Fair — An Aquarian Exposition: 3 Days of Peace & Music”, and continued as the “Wall of Peace” for the 25th Anniversary of Woodstock held in Saugerties New York in 1994 followed by the Artists For Peace and the Environment exhibition at Woodstock ’99. Jamie Ellin Forbes co-founded Fine Art Magazine in 1975 and remains as its publisher to this day.

“The time is now for another look at this amazing and wonderful collection of art,” she recently stated. “After the Boston Marathon bombings, I sat down to reflect on the Columbine High School murders that occurred the day Michael and I met to develop the exhibition. Flashing back to 1969 it occurred to me how the more things change, the more they remain the same. Back the there was Vietnam and various ecological travesties. Today we have the Iraqi and Afghanistan conflicts, rampant terrorism, the World Trade Center disaster, the BP oil spill and nuclear plants melting down in Fukushima. I understood this exhibition with the very pure and idealistic energies of the artists, is more relevant than ever. The work needed to show and be understood as timeless. The concepts of peace and the environment had come full circle making this Exhibition of Artist For Peace and the Environment an important artistic collection and statement.

NYC Contemporary Art Fair director Richard Rothbard, with special insight into the significance of the body of work, is a primary sponsor of the exhibition along with Fine Art Magazine. The breadth and depth of the collection of work, is a vibrant antidote to the negative forces at play in the world today. By offering space for the complete exhibition, Rothbard elevates re-emphasizes the importance of he complete exhibition at the Jacob Javits Convention Center, October 25-27. The entirety of the collection will be hung as created on 4’ x 8’ canvasses expressly for ” Artists for Peace and the Environment”, Woodstock ‘99

Mr. Rothbard notes: “The Contemporary Art Fair is special, the perfect place to display Artists for Peace and the Environment”. As the founder & director I am so glad that we achieved the success that has made it possible to showcase this as well as other special events. We are an art fair that features the works of emerging artists; painters & sculptors who share the spotlight with an exceptional juried selection of fine crafts artists.

“We love that the show has brought together such a wonderful mix of fine art and fine craft along with artists in action, working at the potters wheel , creating amazing thought provoking installations, graffiti artists, and an opening party with great music; all wrapped up into one fabulous day for the entire family.”

ARTISTS FOR PEACE AND THE ENVIRONMENT has been displayed in it’s entirety or partly in museums and additional galleries and venues in the United States and abroad. A partial list of exhibitions follows: The Berlin Exhibition ‘99, the “Young and Free Festival”, Nuremberg on behalf of the children for UNICEF in association with Dieter Schneider, the Steps Organization, 2005, The Nassau County Museum of Art, The Blue Poodle Gallery Blues Festival, SunStorm Celebration of the Arts Festival in Lake Placid, The Toolwood Summer Festival in Germany, in conjunction for the World Cup ’06 and on the Intrepid Museum in New York City.

In retrospect, Michael Lang, as well as all of the artists and contributors were ahead of their time establishing a usage of music and art to promote an expansive cultural horizon and a general public awareness for peace and the environment. This process of public and personal awareness through the arts is as relevant today. It is timeless. An optimism realized through artist participation can be seen in the art panels from Woodstock ’99 as well as the ’94 Wall of Peace.

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, in an Official Proclamation said, “It is a great pleasure to welcome everyone to the 4th Annual Contemporary Art Fair NYC and American Fine Craft Show NYC. As the home of some of the world’s finest museums and art galleries, our City is proud to be known as an international cultural capital.
