Rooster gallery: Joesphh Beuys
 |
Rooster Gallery Contemporary Art presents “Joseph Beuys: Process 1971-1985,” curated by Kara L. Rooney, opening on Wednesday, January 8 and running through February 9, 2014.
1971-1985 marks one of the most prolific and influential periods of Joseph Beuys’ career. It is in this fourteen-year span, prior to the artist’s death in 1986, that Beuys would perform some of his most famous Actions as well as give shape to his theory of ‘social sculpture,’ culminating in the 1977 Honey Pump at the Workplace installation for Documenta 6 in Kassel, and his subsequent establishment of the Free International University for Creativity and Interdisciplinary Research, in which, at the information office of the Organization for Direct Democracy through Referendum, he spent one hundred days talking, preaching, debating and teaching. A core tenet underscoring these various artistic social and visual productions for Beuys was the notion of process: not only the elemental human process essential to the making of forms, but the anthroposophic processes inherent in the formation of matter used to create such forms. As Beuys himself stated, “how we mold and shape the world in which we live results in the idea of sculpture as an evolutionary process.”[i]
Comprised of thirteen works encompassing diverse media, such as drawing, sculpture, objects and prints, many of which contain the artist’s written notes, Process 1971-1985 aims to highlight this modus operandi in one of the 20th century’s most influential artists.

international.artexpo: Call for Artists: BorderBody - Mixing Identities, Italy / Spain
Call for Artists: BorderBody - Mixing Identities, Italy / SpainInternational video-art, photography, installation and performing art festival
1st Deadline: January 08, 2014 2nd Deadline: January 20, 2014
International ArtExpo is selecting all interesting photo works, video/short films, installations and performing art works to include in the next 2014 exhibitions:
“BorderBody - Mixing Identities” international art festival of photography, video art, installation and performing art which will be held in Almeria (Spain), at MECA Mediterráneo Centro ArtÃstico, during the 7 and the 21 of February 2014(video screening only), and in prestigious Palazzo Barone Ferrara in Bari (Italy), from the 13 to the 21 of February 2014.
“BorderBody” exhibitions cycle is conceived as a diffused and nomadic festival in different places of the world. “Mixing Identities”, the second chapter of this 3-event cycle, is focused on the hybridization of social identities. In contemporary societies boundaries are getting more and more fleeting, and also the identity, that makes each person or place a recognizable entity, turns out fluid and multiple. Cultural, religious, ethnic borders become changeable too. This change, this mutation has allowed to cross the inside of the identities, creating new possible crossings, new blends. There is no more limit between an identity and the other one but it is possible to walk, to cross a passage and to find oneself halfway through it, in a non-place, in a non-identity.
The event is open to photography, video art, installation and performing art. Exhibition at MECA (Spain) is open to video art only.
Palazzo Barone Ferrara is a magnificent historic building of XIX century, symbol of importance and progress of the city. Located in the centre of Bari, is the headquarters and exhibition space of Banca Apulia bank.
MECA Mediterráneo Centro ArtÃstico, is one of the contemporary art galleries more active and consolidated in Spain.
The 1st deadline session for applications is January 08, 2014
To take part in the selection, send your artworks’ submissions with a CV/biography, videography and some still images (for video-art), pictures of your artworks via email to lucacurci@lucacurci.com or via mail to:
International ArtExpoCorso Vittorio Emanuele II, 33
70122 Bari, Italy
The number of works you can submit is unlimited. The participation in the International Art Festival requires an entry fee (different for each deadline session) only for selected artworks. Participation open to: artists, architects and designers, associate groups and studios.

Carrie Marill - Domesticated Exhibition Dates: April 3rd - May 17th, 2014

Carrie Marill - Domesticated
Above: Carrie Marill, Am I Growing or Shrinking from This?, 2014, acrylic on linen, 38" x 44"
Exhibition Dates: April 3rd - May 17th, 2014
Opening Reception with Carrie Marill
Thursday, April 3rd, 2014 from 7- 9pm
Lisa Sette Gallery is pleased to present new works by Carrie Marill, a contemporary painter whose graphic acuity is matched by her unflinching aesthetic curiosity. In a new body of work Domesticated, Marill aims her precise visual methodology toward hidden-away scenes of home and family life, transforming these tableaux into moments of pictorial intensity and formal investigation.
An avid observer of visual arrangements of all kinds, Marill’s work has drawn from a vast range of influences and traditions, from handmade quilts to suburban streetscapes. Throughout her diverse series threads a vivid and wryly confrontational aesthetic: Marill’s complete command of pattern and pigment and tendency to direct us toward stark compositional geometries is both unsettling and exhilarating.
Commenting on Domesticated, Marill remarks, “I notice that there’s not enough work out there that addresses domesticity; it’s considered a negative quality for a woman artist to talk about those things. So I decided to go there.”
In past work, Marill has been unafraid to take on a range of art-world cultural taboos, examining all manner of graphic experience, from kitsch to propaganda to the paradoxical prerogatives of high and low art. Marill acknowledges that her work is often a process of working through questions or issues graphically, with the severe and concentrated quality of her markmaking instigating further conceptual inquiry. “As an artist this is my visual way of processing the information I encounter. I don’t know the answers until the very end. Or sometimes even the questions.”
Several of Marill’s recent paintings began as odes to the Italian painter Giorgio Morandi, who spent a career portraying ceramic vessels in serene, focused still-lifes. In the process of arranging still lifes in her own studio, Marill realized her own life had become more complicated: “The Morandis were so still and quiet, and my life is not like that; it’s become messy and absurd. “I was on the Morandi expressway and got off on Guston,” quips Marill, referencing the loose, cartoony style of neo-expressionist Philip Guston.
Yet Marill’s graphic inquisitiveness and discipline still reigns supreme. It can be seen, thrillingly, in the organized riot of Am I Growing or Shrinking From This?, an image the artists describes as “stacks of laundry. Literally, folded stacks of laundry… There are a lot of beautiful patterns in that.”
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.
