GLOBAL ART FORUM 2014: 'Meanwhile...History'
The eighth edition of the Global Art Forum titled Meanwhile... History creates a timeline of turning points in history–significant decades, years, days, minutes or seconds that shifted an understanding of the world. Commissioned by Shumon Basar with co-directors Omar Berrada and Ala Younis, the Forum is a journey through known and unknown histories, of critical change and secretly seismic moments.
It takes place at Katara Art Center, Doha, March 15-16, and at Art Dubai,March 19-21, 2014.
The Global Art Forum is a curated and particularly innovative, themed 'conference'. The five days of live talks, panels, commissioned research and projects feature more than 40 speakers including Sulayman Al Bassam, John Akomfrah, Catherine David, Okwui Enwezor, Hans Ulrich Obrist, Shuddhabrata Sengupta, Brett Steele, Adam Szymczyk, among others.
Read the full list of participants and the schedule here.
The Forum is presented by the Dubai Culture and Arts Authority and held
in partnership with the Office of Strategic Cultural Relations at Qatar Museums Authority.Douglas Coupland speaking at Global Art Forum 7, Art Dubai 2013, courtesy Art Dubai.

Reopening March 8 with Garden Party
EXHIBITIONS
MAIN GALLERIES
March 8, 2014 to July 6, 2014Garden PartyGarden Party explores the imagery of fête champêtre—outdoor entertainments and garden parties—through paintings, sculpture, costume, fabrics and decorative arts and designs. The guest curators, Franklin Hill Perrell, the Museum’s former senior curator, and JoAnne Olian, curator emeritus at the Museum of the City of New York, have assembled a bouquet of paintings and objects illustrating the appeal of flowers in every season. Included are works by a range of artists emerging from many different traditions, among them Louis Comfort Tiffany, Marc Chagall, Larry Rivers, James Rosenquist, Maurice Prendergast, David Hockney, Janet Fish, Jane Freilicher, Robert Mapplethorpe and Georgia O’Keeffe, among others.
SECOND FLOOR GALLERIES
March 8, 2014 to July 6, 2014AftermodernisM Spring 2014
"AM @ NCMA - 0314"The work of Michael Bevilacqua, James Busby and Ridley Howard broadens the AftermodernisM concept of fractured asymmetry. This exhibition illustrates the broad range of AM styles spanning non-objective abstraction through sharp focused realism. Some works are a synthesis of abstraction and figuration expressed in new and innovative ways. When these three artists become completely abstract they bring the AM aesthetic into a new form of minimal art. Organized by Alison Wolfson and Elaine Berger for the museum’s Contemporary Collectors Circle.
Ongoing
Sculpture Park More than 40 works, many of them monumental in size, by renowned artists including Fernando Botero, Tom Otterness, George Rickey and Mark DiSuvero among others are situated to interact with nature on the museum’s magnificent 145-acre property.

Mia Rosenthal: a little bit every day February 7 - March 22, 2014
February 7 - March 22, 2014
Mia Rosenthal: a little bit every day
Opening Reception: Friday, February 7, 6:00-8:00pm
In a little bit every day Rosenthal observes her own personal process of making art, from daily encounters with her computer gathering information for her work, to personal reflections on how life itself miraculously unfolds "a little bit every day."
The centerpiece of the show is a large drawing titled Life on Earth, a spiraled work of 1,000 creatures, beginning with a single-celled organism 3.8 billion years ago, and moving through time to early ocean life, plants, mammals, dinosaurs, primates, and the domestication of plants and animals through genetically modified organisms and synthetically created life forms. Her source material comes from Wikipedia and other Internet sources where she conducts research and finds imagery.
Of this new body of work artist Todd Keyser writes,
"Rosenthal sets out to re-engage the spectator with an 'open inquiry' by presenting the spectator with her own practice, which incorporates both its avant-garde roots and traditional handcraft. Mia Rosenthal’s Life on Earth is an affirmation of life itself, while also simultaneously emitting the symbol for entropy, reminding us that all things are subject to change. As a result, Rosenthal’s exhibition offers the spectator multiple points of view ranging from the subject matter, to the construction of these drawings, and what they might mean in the larger context of aesthetic consideration."
Rosenthal's recent exhibitions include Drawn to Nature at the Glyndor Gallery, Wave Hill, Bronx, NY, Here and Now: Prints, Drawings and Photographs by 10 Philadelphia Artists at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and 5 to Watch at the Avery Galleries, Bryn Mawr, PA.
Rosenthal was awarded her MFA from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in Philadelphia and her BFA from Parsons School of Design in New York. Her drawings are included in the collections of the Philadelphia Museum of Art and the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, as well as numerous private collections. Mia Rosenthal lives and works in Philadelphia.
a little bit every day opens on February 7 and runs through March 22, 2014. The artist will be present at a reception on First Friday, February 7 from 6 - 8 pm. Regular gallery hours are Wednesday through Saturday 12 - 5:30, other days by appointment. For additional information contact, 215.592.7752, mail@galleryjoe.com or www.galleryjoe.com

Opening Reception with Jennifer Trask
Thursday, March 6th, 2014 from 7- 9pm
Lisa Sette Gallery is pleased to announce its debut exhibition with artist Jennifer Trask. Unfurling from the architecture, emerging out of corners and walls, the artist's wild conflagrations of ghost-pale flowers, frames, branches and vines look as though they could have sprouted from an enchanted seed. From their mysterious materials to their exponentially multiplying ornament - bone-white bouquets, crowding around a frame or climbing along the wall - Trask's objects emit an unmistakable air of magic.
Trask began her career as a maker of small objects: her carved-bone works could be worn as jewelry. In the last decade her work has expanded in size and scope; a single sculpture can take Trask eight months to construct, and the artist’s processes are as varied and laden with meaning as the materials she employs: the manipulation of bone, woodcarving and gilding, still-life and furniture making.
Trask practices a singular kind of alchemy: She could tell you the number of days peroxide-cured deer antler must dry in the sun at her Hudson Valley home, or the solution of vinegar in which one might soak a python’s rib in order to make it pliable enough to form the pinprick of a chrysanthemum petal.
But these crafts are, for Trask, secondary to her completed work's true achievement: a sense of wonder at the vast proliferation of the natural world. According to Trask, “That’s what I’m trying to claim when I go into the studio. I want to make something that I believe could be real, something that could have happened on its own.”
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.
