HOUSING WORKS TO HONOR JAMIE DRAKE AND MARY FISHER AT

Michael Boodro and Rosie O’Donnell to present awards at April 20^th ceremony, hosted by Genevieve Gorder

– Housing Works announced today that they will honor famed interior designer, Jamie Drake and activist Mary Fisher at their April 20^th Groundbreaker Awards Dinner hosted by HGTV host Genevieve Gorder. Housing Works is a New York-based organization that provides supportive services and stable housing to the homeless and individuals living with and affected by HIV/AIDS. The non-profit works with advocacy offices across the country and abroad to fight for funding and legislation to ensure all people living with HIV/AIDS have access to quality housing, healthcare, prevention information and other life-sustaining services.

Host Genevieve Gorder’s unmistakable style and enthusiasm have made her one of America’s favorite interior designers, currently appearing on DesignIsh and Design Network. She can also be seen on HGTV’s “Genevieve’s Renovation,” “HGTV Star,” and “HGTV’s White House Christmas Special.” Gorder also has a collection at Capel Rugs, stationary, textile and baby & child lines, and designs for a diverse group of clients and companies from hotels and restaurants to private clients and cruise ships.

Jamie Drake will receive the ELLE DECOR “Heart of Design” Award this year for over a decade of philanthropic work with Housing Works. Drake has created vignettes multiple times for “Design on a Dime,” and he  currently serves as Chair of The Alpha Workshops where he’s been a board member for many years. ELLE DECOR editor-in-chief Michael Boodro will present their “Heart of Design” Award to Drake for his renowned work as an interior designer and his philanthropic work in support of the HIV/AIDS community.

Mary Fisher is being honored for her work and advocacy for HIV and AIDS patients. The actress, artist, author and political activist has used her voice to speak out about contracting HIV and her life living with the disease. She has written several books on the subject and has used her artwork and design collaborations to raise money funding the fight against AIDS. Fisher’s award will be presented by longtime friend, Rosie O’Donnell.

“Jamie and Mary exemplify what Housing Works stands for,” stated Design on a Dime Founding Chair, and Designer James Huniford. “We’re so proud to honor the work they have done and to have these amazing allies stand with us in our common mission to end AIDS and to provide housing and lifesaving services to those who are living with HIV/AIDS.”

Following the Groundbreaker Awards Dinner on the 20^th, Housing Works will then host a three-day public event where guests can shop at the 12^th annual DESIGN ON A DIME benefit and sale.

Julian Schnabel , Blum & Poe, Los Angeles March 18 - April 30, 2016 Opening reception: Friday, March 18, 6 – 8pm

Julian Schnabel Infinity on Trial  Blum & Poe, Los Angeles March 18 - April 30, 2016 Opening reception: Friday, March 18, 6 – 8pm

Los Angeles—Blum & Poe is pleased to present forty years of painting by artist Julian Schnabel. This exhibition marks Schnabel’s first solo presentation with Blum & Poe. After a hiatus from the West Coast art scene for nearly a decade, this first exhibition at Blum & Poe takes the form of a concise overview of an exhilaratingly divergent painting practice—making a forceful case for the historical importance of Schnabel’s oeuvre, as well as his ever-growing relevance to a new generation of artists.  Twelve important paintings made between 1975 and 2015 will be displayed in the ground floor gallery. Together these paintings make manifest the scope and depth of Schnabel’s work—his groundbreaking material experimentation, his exceptional formal range, and simultaneous mastery of both figurative and abstract idioms. Not only will this exhibition serve as an introduction to this artist’s legendary work for younger viewers, but it also positions Schnabel as one of the great auteurs of the postwar period.  Transcending the question of recognizable style, Schnabel’s practice, while wildly heterogeneous, is connected together by his unmistakable personal vision—his distinctive aesthetic touch, the audacity and freedom of his varied gestures, the insistence on the physicality of his surfaces, and the unapologetic emotional inflection in all of his works. As Schnabel wrote in an attempt to locate his unique approach to making work, “feeling cannot be separated from intellect… what is expressed is a feeling of love for something that has already existed, a response to something already felt.” Giving evidence to Schnabel’s singular authorship, the distilled selection of paintings includes: The Patients and the Doctors (1978), his first work deploying an abstracted mosaic of ceramic shards and sculptural picture planes; Jack the Bellboy (1975), an early wax painting that Schnabel considers his first mature painting; The Tunnel (Death of an Ant Near a Power Plant in the Country) (1982), an early painting made on found plywood in metric sizes that he bought in a lumber yard while working in Porto Ercole, Italy; Rebirth II (1986) a painting that incorporates an antique Kabuki theater backdrop; and The Edge of Victory (1987), a magisterial tableau made upon a tape-encrusted and stained boxing tarp from the old Gramercy Gym that Schnabel inscribed and painted with sweeping white marks. Without regard to chronology, this selection of radical, foundational pictures is hung in relationship to works from the past fifteen years. These more recent examples feature one of Schnabel’s Goat Paintings from 2015, from a series begun in 2012; a spray paint composition from 2014; an abstract “pink” painting made in 2015 from the sun-faded canopy Schnabel found in Mexico; and a regal full-length Portrait of Tatiana Lisovskaia As The Duquesa De Alba II (2014) referencing Goya. Accompanying these compositions, the upstairs gallery features approximately forty drawings made between 1976 to the present that echo the formal and conceptual range of the paintings in the downstairs gallery. In sum, this exhibition attempts to foreground the emotive punctum that runs throughout Schnabel’s work—otherwise stated, the wounding point or touching detail where his unconventional methods and materials are fused with emotive, tactile, and deeply narrative meaning.  Despite the range in dates in which these works have been made, looking at these pieces together reveal a consistent artistic “touch” or transformational element that Schnabel is able to imbue in the found materials he assimilates into his work. Running throughout the exhibition is a pictorial vocabulary that is consistent throughout Schnabel’s career but takes on many forms. The trope of the white stroke—curvilinear swirls of white paint that often disrupt both figurative and abstract compositions—or the haphazard traces of splashed purple pigment are seen in numerous paintings selected in the show. Likewise, dedications, proper names, and other literary references in titles are used to evoke a narrative 'imaginary' that runs through Schnabel’s oeuvre. As Schnabel wrote about the seminal painting Jack the Bellboy, featured in the last room of the exhibition, “The difference between the physical and pictorial elements of the painting confounded an easy viewing; it was hard to look at. It activated a sensation, like color blindness, that yielded a sensory disorder that I thought was an analogue for my emotional state. It was also about the third intangible element between the viewer and itself: the blind spot. It was like a sort of dyslexia where a letter’s proximity to another makes it disappear.”(1) In many ways Schnabel’s attempt to describe the alchemical reaction simultaneously generated by the retinal, conceptual, and emotional affects of his work could be applied to all of the paintings selected for this exhibition. Schnabel’s work has been exhibited all over the world. His paintings, sculptures, and works on paper have been the subject of numerous exhibitions: the Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam (1982); Tate Gallery, London (1982); Whitechapel Gallery, London (1987); Kunsthalle Düsseldorf (1987); Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris (1987); Whitney Museum of American Art, New York (1987); San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (1987); Museum of Fine Arts, Houston (1987); Musée d’Art Contemporain de Nîmes, France (1989); Staatliche Graphische Sammlung, Munich (1989); Palais des Beaux-Arts, Brussels (1989); Fruitmarket Gallery, Edinburgh (1989); Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago (1989); Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Monterrey, Mexico (1994); Fundació Joan Miró, Barcelona (1995); Galleria d’Arte Moderna di Bologna (1996); Schirn Kunsthalle, Frankfurt/Main (2004); Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, Madrid (2004); Rotonda della Besana, Milan (2007); Tabakalera, Donostia-San Sebastián (2007); Museo di Capodimonte, Naples (2009); Art Gallery of Ontario, Toronto (2010); Museo Correr, Venice (2011); J.F.

Art Dubai, Design Days Winners

13 Mar

Ranim Orouk wins the Middle East Emergent Designer Prize

by Design Days Dubai

Van Cleef & Arpels, in collaboration with Tashkeel and Design Days Dubai, today named designer Ranim Oruock as this year’s winner of the prestigious the ‘Middle East Emergent Designer Prize’ for her lighting piece ‘Glow’.

Ranim’s ‘Glow’ is now on display at the Van Cleef & Arpels booth throughout Design Days Dubai (14-18 March).

The design, which responded to the theme of Nature, was inspired by the effervescence of a school of jellyfish. With a dual function as a ceiling chandelier, or floor lamp, the piece ‘Glow’, takes the form and function from the sea creature combining the production methods of traditional glassblowing and advanced digital fabrication of 3D printing. Spheres made of 3D printed glass are fused using curved acrylic rods that mimic the form of jellyfish legs. Once lit, the transmission of light throughout the piece emphasizes the radiance emitted from a bloom of jellyfish.

Ranim Orouk

Ranim received a prize of AED 30,000 to produce the final work and will also receive a 5-day trip to Paris to attend courses at the exclusive L’ECOLE Van Cleef & Arpels, a school created to showcase the mechanisms behind the world of making jewelry and watchmaking, courtesy of Van Cleef & Arpels.

 Ranim Orouk, ‘Glow’ process work

Theprize runner-Up title was awarded to Michael Rice’s Ceramic Design Inspired by DNA Helix and Sand Ripples. Michael, who specializes in ceramics, is currently an Associate Professor of Studio Art at the American University of Dubai.

Fridge Art Fair will be held at the Angel Orensanz Foundation, which is housed in the former Ansche Chesed Synagogue.  The building was constructed in 1849, in architectural integrity and the tradition of the German Reform Movement of the mid 19th century.  In addition to housing the Foundation and hosting some of the world’s most notable events the building remains in use as a house of worship and is the oldest surviving Synagogue in New York City.

Artist Eric Ginsburg http://www.worldoferic.com, founded fridge Art Fair as what was supposed to be a one-time event during Frieze Week in New York City in 2013.  It was founded as a means to make amends for a project he felt went h9orribly wrong in part because the participants in this project were unable to have 9fun.

Eric Ginsburg turned to his mentor artist and gallerist Kazuko Miymato for assistance with this project.  Kazuko Miymato not only provided assistance; she provided the gallery which she founded Gallery Onetwentyeight http://www.galleryonetwentyeight.org as the venue for the first Fridge Art Fair. 

For the 4th New York edition of Fridge Art Fair titled “The Fridge Freeze Project” and the 7th edition of the fair we are pleased to announce our partnership with the Angel Orensanz Foundation.   

The Fridge Freeze Project will feature artist Angel Orensanz http://www.angelorensanz.com will create a site specific installation for the fair which will be located in the main hall.

On the gallery floor Fridge Art Fair hits the ground running. With Galleries Artists and Collectives from all over the world highlighting “art for arts sake.”  

Eric Ginsburg, known for his “Funky-Fresh” Dog and Cat paintings New York based curator Linda DiGusta https://www.linkedin.com/in/linda-digusta-2210515, Miami mainstay artist, gallerist and teacher Virginia Erdie (virginiaerdie.com) and web-maestro Dylan Green (landofgaj.com) return amongst others to anchor Fridge Art Fair, as do historic Gallery OneTwentyEight and our local charity, The Angel Orensaz Foundation. 

On Sunday (Mothers Day), Eric Ginsburg will be photographing your dog for a portrait commission benefitting BARC’s www.barcshelter.org animal rescue programs.

If you like to eat, cook and your art fix all in one catch: THE RESTAURANT BY CAESARSTONE & TOM DIXON Milan Design Week 2016 Tuesday April 12th

THE RESTAURANT BY CAESARSTONE & TOM DIXON
Milan Design Week 2016

Four conceptual kitchens inspired by the elements will take over the historical Rotonda della Besana delivering an experimental food concept

March 2016: Known for presenting memorable, interactive installations in Milan, quartz manufacturer Caesarstone is collaborating with celebrated British designer Tom Dixon on a multi-sensory creation. ‘The RESTAURANT by Caesarstone & Tom Dixon' consists of four conceptual kitchens inspired by the elements – Earth, Fire, Water and Air. These kitchens will take over Milan Children's Museum (MUBA) at the historical Rotonda della Besana during the 2016 design festival in Milan.

Set within the ideal backdrop of a 17^th century Cloister encircling a public garden and a deconsecrated church, each of the four sections of the cruciform-shaped complex will introduce a different range of Caesarstone's designs. Demonstrating the versatility and beauty of the Caesarstone surfaces, combined with Tom Dixon-designed dining halls and products, each kitchen will feature a variety of colours and materials that complement the mood and atmosphere of each specific element.

The EARTH kitchen, inspired by the ancient Roman aqueducts, incorporates earthy brown tones of selected Caesarstone designs including light mushroom coloured Tuscan Dawn and Concetto Albero, made from assembled segments of petrified wood. The food will be prepared by adopting an ancient European vegetable cooking method that utilizes hay to enhance the natural flavours of the products.

The FIRE kitchen is inspired by charred wood and smoke, using blackened beams and hints of gold in combination with Caesarstone's dramatic blacks and dark greys: Vanilla Noir, Raven and Coastal Grey. The food - smoked, seared and burned – will complete the conceptual experience.

The WATER kitchen reflects the jagged edges of frozen ice and has been interpreted using a spectrum of Caesarstone grey and white tonalities. Varying from steaming to freezing, the kitchen will experiment with the material by subjecting it to extreme temperatures.

Inspired by urban architecture, the AIR kitchen is created with thin, vertically-placed Caesarstone slabs and cut-outs that serve as cooking counters. Caesarstone’s Raw Concrete and Nobel Grey create an urban, light background for the completion of the culinary experience - the dessert bar.

Commissioned by Caesarstone, Italian food design studio Arabeschi di Latte, headed by Francesca Sarti, will curate the overall food concept.

"Following on from the success of the Caesarstone ICE Kitchen at IDS 2016 in January, our Milan collaboration with Tom Dixon will shed new light on the versatility and all-encompassing qualities of Caesarstone's designs. It will bring to the forefront Caesarstone's unique way of turning home kitchens into immersive, experiential platforms where food creation, dining and design harmoniously meld to create an ideal multi-sensory experience." Eli Feiglin, VP of Marketing at Caesarstone.

“In Milan this year, we wanted to collaborate with Caesarstone to inspire architects and designers through a radical interpretation of how food and surfaces can interact in different ways, delivering a food experience that challenges all the senses in an exercise of materiality, luminosity and texture. Reflecting on the four medieval elements, we have created totally distinctive smells, tastes and visual experiences within each room.” Tom Dixon.

About Tate Americas Foundation Tate Americas Foundation is an independent charity based in New York that raises support for Tate from individuals, foundations, and corporations in the Americas. The charity was founded in 1987, when Sir Edwin and Lady Manton created the American Fund for the Tate Gallery, a restricted endowment to acquire works of art from North and South America for presentation to Tate. The organization, previously known as American Patrons of Tate, was renamed the Tate Americas Foundation in early 2013 to reflect the organization’s evolving role and expanding geographical base of support. Since 1999, the charity has raised over $210 million in cash donations and acquired $76 million in art (through purchase or gift).  For more information, please visit www.tateamericas.org.

Esther Anderson and Larry Gartel At the Miami Film Festival

Esther Anderson and Larry Gartel At the Miami Film Festival 

~What a great time last night at the opening of "A Warm December" starring Sidney Poitier and Esther Anderson. Esther was given a proclamation by the City of North Miami Beach, and honored by Elliot Jones (grandson of Maya Angelou.) The film itself created in 1972 was a defiant victory showcasing a successful black doctor being revered in a white man's world while meeting a Princess who had sickle cell anemia and bringing that disease to the consciousness of the public. - A tremendously heroic depiction by Sidney Poitier and a sensational confident, young woman in Esther Anderson. What an amazing human being she IS. Thank you for suggesting I go see the film and Esther. A highlight I have included in the GARTEL Life Book. ... Lawrence Gartel, Feb, 27, 2016
