Art Basel News !

That recognition often has little to do with talent comes as no surprise. Yet fortune reversals can be so dramatic as to make us pause. They herald a paradigmatic change, a new willingness to accept and celebrate voices ignored for too long. Cecilia Vicuña, the subject of our latest ‘Meet the artists’ video, is a case in point. The Chilean-born poet and artist has produced important work inspired by extinction, human rights, and Indigenous spirituality for decades but it’s only in the last few years that she’s received the critical acclaim she deserves. In this intimate interview, the recipient of the Venice Biennale 2022’s Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement – and object of a newly-opened retrospective at New York’s Guggenheim Museum – discusses how the concept of ‘precarious art’ has sustained her through half a century of artmaking. Also this week: With one week to go before the opening of our Swiss edition, Simon W. Marin guides us through Basel’s Old Town previewing highlights from the Parcours sector; sculptor extraordinaire Hugh Hayden opens the doors of his Brooklyn studio ahead of his solo presentation in the Feature sector; and Mirthe Berentsen appraises Tala Madani’s canon-shattering ‘Shit Moms’ series, a high point of this year’s Film program.

WHAT	Opening at the Aspen Art Museum, Mountain / Time is a major, museum-wide exhibition of contemporary moving image installations by an inter-generational group of artists and works with themes inspired by the intertwined histories and geographies of the mountains and their ecological systems.   The exhibition features many of today’s most notable artists working in the medium of video, including Kahlil Joseph, Arthur Jafa, Doug Aitken, Korakrit Arunanondchai, Anicka Yi, Ian Cheng, Kandis Williams, Tourmaline, Maia Ruth Lee, Clarissa Tossin, Mark Leckey, and Alan Michelson.    Programming for Mountain / Time will last throughout the summer and span a network of spaces across the Roaring Fork Valley, featuring several film screenings as well as live performances. Highlights include: ·       The Mountains Have Eyes, curated by Almudena Escobar López, Assistant Curator of Media Arts at the Memorial Art Gallery, Rochester, screening at the Crystal Theatre in Carbondale on June 4, bringing together “films that think with the body and feel with the mind...a porous, translucent and cumulative cinema.” ·       A rare screening of two of Thai filmmaker Apichatpong Weeraserthakul’s best-known films, Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives (2010) and his most recent film Memoria (2021), starring Tilda Swinton, presented at The Arts Campus at Willits (TACAW) in Basalt on July 30 and 31.  ·       Together a “Ghost Cinema” performance by Korakrit Arunanondchai and Alex Gvojic will take place in a mountain meadow on August 4, inspired by the animistic cinematic practices of rural communities in Northeast Thailand. ·       In conjunction with the exhibition, Cauleen Smith will take up a two-week residency at Anderson Ranch, in collaboration with the Aspen Art Museum, where she will have the opportunity to research the geology and ecology of the valley. ·       A special screening event at the disused Smuggler Mine, with films projected inside the silver mine, and two film programs responding to the site screened outside. This program is curated by Anisa Jackson, Curator at Large at the Aspen Art Museum and scholar Michael B. Gillespie. Jackson’s screening presents films that situate the mine within histories of extraction, racialization, and settler colonialism. Gillespie’s screening gathers together films that pose challenging considerations of time, place, culture, and history. This site-specific program onSeptember 9 will invite participants to consider how mining among other extractive practices rearranges geology and its relationship to personhood.   Mountain / Time is curated by Chrissie Iles, the Anne & Joel Ehrenkranz Curator at the Whitney Museum of American Art, with Anisa Jackson and Simone Krug of the Aspen Art Museum. The exhibition includes generous loans from the Whitney Museum and the Rosenkranz Collection.

Deborah Colton Gallery Artist S & S June 4 - September 3, 2022 Open House: June 4th, 1:00 to 5:00 pm

Artist S & S June 4 - September 3, 2022 Open House: June 4th, 1:00 to 5:00 pm  Deborah Colton Gallery is pleased to launch our Artist S & S Project. This stands for “Artist Solo & Studio” and we are excited about this project, both for the community and the artist that is chosen each year.  Deborah Colton Gallery started in the early millennium in the artist studio building of 2500 Summer Street. One of the reasons that Deborah selected this space was that she wanted the gallery to be in a place where art was created. Our current gallery space started as the artist studio of Molly Gochman. Molly created the space, including the design on the building with the white convex and concave spheres on the outside of the building, which say “Welcome” in Braille. We want to embrace this original vision, just like we did in our old gallery space on Summer Street being in an artist studio building. Thus, during the summer, Deborah Colton Gallery is launching a new project which gives an emerging artist a chance to have a solo exhibition in the main gallery and set up an installation in the back half of the gallery as their working studio. Artist Grayson Chandler will launch this new endeavor with his exhibition IN VIAthis summer. In addition to our normal operations as a contemporary fine arts gallery serving all our artists, this project gives the community a chance to visualize what happens in an artist’s studio. It also gives the artist a chance to see how a commercial fine arts gallery is operated. All works in both the working studio installation and the IN VIA exhibition will be available for acquisition through Deborah Colton Gallery. Public Viewing Hours will be Thursday through Saturday, 1:00 to 6:30 pm. or “By Appointment.”  Born in Houston, Texas in 1994, Grayson Chandler has been exposed to the visual arts since a young age. He began practicing drawing and painting in junior high at Lanier Middle School and continued to practice at Lamar High School where he was awarded the most artistic in his graduating class. Although he graduated in 2018 from the University of North Texas with a BFA in Studio Arts, Grayson debuted at Deborah Colton Gallery in 2017 with his solo exhibition, Tautologies & Memoirs. Thereafter, Deborah Colton Gallery hosted two more solos of his - Cocoon in 2019 and Telos: After Thought in 2020. Grayson Chandler’s works have been exhibited throughout Texas and nationally, and he recently had a solo exhibition at the Pearl Fincher Museum in Spring, Texas, entitled Apophenia. As Deborah Colton states, “Grayson Chandler has exceptional talent and has met with great success in his artistic career already. He is an outstanding role model for young students who are inspired to pursue a career as fine arts artists, and for those just graduating from university with their fine arts degrees. Having a good understanding of his artistic process and being able to convey this clearly is enriching for anyone coming into the gallery during this time. In addition to our Public Viewing Hours, we hope to have at least one Artist Talk and a Q & A video done during the summer also. These will be able to be accessed at any time on our website.” "I'm excited to launch this new project for Deborah Colton Gallery. I will create a space where the scope of our imagination is given ground to explore the ways we conceive meaning in a manner similar to how life evolves with its environment." Grayson Chandler This month's Houston City Book features Grayson Chandler and this project! Deborah Colton Gallery is founded on being an innovative showcase for ongoing presentation and promotion of strong historical and visionary contemporary artists world-wide, whose diverse practices include painting, works on paper, sculpture, video, photography, performance, conceptual future media and public space installations. phone: 713-869-5151 www.deborahcotlongallery.com 2445 North Boulevard, Houston, Texas 77098 #deborahcoltoncallyer#fineartmagazine#fineartfun
