THe Guerrilla Girls are back in Paris: If you keep Women Out They Get Resentful ! Sept 4-Oct.9, 2021

 

Guerrlla Girls, If You Keep Women Out They Get Resentful, 2018, signed poster, 46 x 56 cm Opening on Saturday September 4, 2021 from 2pm to 8pm Exhibition from September 4 to October 9, 2021 We are very pleased to inform you that, for the second time, the Guerrilla Girls will occupy the space of mfc-michèle didier. Since 1985, the Guerrilla Girls have been denouncing a series of behaviours that take place in the art world and which concern sexist and racial discrimination, as well as a series of practices linked to corruption and more generally to politics. At mfc-michèle didier, the Guerrilla Girls will present their last twelve filmed actions, as well as the posters associated to them. They will also activate, for the first time in Paris, a Complaints Department.   "YOUR ASSIGNMENT IS TO THINK OF SOMETHING YOU REALLY WANT TO COMPLAIN ABOUT. THEN, COMMUNICATE YOUR MESSAGE IN A UNIQUE, CREATIVE WAY." Kathe Kollwitz & Frida Kahlo Complaints department is a device designed to collect complaints and protests in a free and anonymous way. The public is invited to write down their complaints on sheets of paper and post them on the gallery walls. Rather than confining themselves to their own claims and observations, the Guerrilla Girls leave room here for the construction of a collective protest space. From 4 September to 9 October 2021, don't hesitate to come and complain! mfc-michèle didier 66, rue Notre-Dame de Nazareth, F-75003 Paris from Tuesday to Saturday from 12pm to 7pm P: +33 (0)1 71 27 34 41 — M: +33 (0)6 09 94 13 46 info@micheledidier.com — www.micheledidier.com  #guerrillagirls#finesrtmagazine#artfun

Smith College Museum of Art, "An Imposing Number of Times", by Amanda Williams is inspired by student-made Black Lives Matter banners. On displat now!

Northampton, MA—July 6, 2021: Two black-and-white banners by artist Amanda Williams have been unfurled on the Elm Street and campus-facing facades of the Smith College Museum of Art (SCMA). The banners represent the first part of Williams’ An Imposing Number of Times, a series of site-specific campus installations commissioned by the museum. Further installations are scheduled for fall 2021 and spring 2022.

The banners’ design and composition were inspired by student-made Black Lives Matter banners displayed on several residential houses on campus. First created by Smith students in 2017 and redone each fall, the house banners prompted Williams to reflect on language and self-determination at Smith College, a place where campus traditions and the house system play a large role in student life. Williams built the abstract composition of her banners emphasizing the texture, materiality and painterly qualities of the house banners. In one of her banners, Williams layers six words over details of three faded house banners. It reads: “live / matterful / black / lives / allies / matter.”   According to Williams, “Unfolding over space and time, An Imposing Number of Times transforms the legibility of the glyphs of the handmade BLM banners into something unrecognizable as a means of establishing their potency and liberatory potential.   “The meaning of the phrase ‘Black Lives Matter’ seems straightforward at first, yet it is elusive, ephemeral and shifting. The recitation, fragmentation and deconstruction of this phrase and its physical presence on campus via a series of installations will produce a collective bearing witness to how Blackness is navigated and valued in the specific institutional context of Smith.” #smithcolledge

The Town House presents Roman Fine Art, an exhibition opening of Lizzie Gill:, July 3rd, 4-7PM-

Midnight Sun     Acrylic, image transfer and oil on canvas, 2021      62 x 56 inches

WELCOME TO THE TOWNHOUSE with Lizzie Gill: Midnight Sun  Roman Fine Art is pleased to present Lizzie Gill: Midnight Sun, the inaugural exhibition at The Townhouse, a new art space in Sag Harbor, NY, brought to you by Damien Roman, of Roman Fine Art + Hayley Schmitz.  In her newest solo presentation, Midnight Sun, Lizzie Gill explores the relationship between memory and place and how perceptual reversal creates new, imagined landscapes. Gill's paintings are a geotag, geographic or cultural, actual or mythical sites that the artist has seen and reimagined, or imagined without having seen. Working with the found material of an art historical language, she translates these elements onto canvas, creating portals to new vistas. Challenging preconceived relationships, her large scale mixed media paintings utilize the landscape as a tool for self reflection and escapism, encompassing ideas about visual memory and spatial flux. Midnight Sun opens Saturday, May, July 3rd and will continue through Sunday, August 3rd.  Visits to The Townhouse are by appointment only. We will be hosting a wine reception for the Artist with natural wines purveyor, Nat Out East, Saturday, July 3rd, 4-7pm. We strongly recommend that you RSVP here, due to limited capacity.     Lizzie Gill in her Sharon, CT studio. About the Artist: Lizzie Gill (American, b. 1989, New York, NY) is a mixed media artist whose work explores themes of retro Americana in a contemporary context. Her work is a nostalgic look at the past and innocence with a contemporary twist, prompting one to question their sense of time and culture. Gill has had solo exhibitions in New York, Miami and San Francisco. Her editorial commissions include The New York Times, Elle, Wired & Vogue. She lives and works in Sharon, CT.
