In Focus: Jannis Kounellis as Mentor

A program dedicated to the legacy of Jannis Kounellis as a prolific professor and mentor.

Magazzino Italian Art is pleased to host In Focus: Jannis Kounellis as Mentor, to shed light on an aspect of the Arte Povera artist's life as a mentor and professor that is rarely discussed. 

Conceived by Dr. Francesco Guzzetti, Magazzino Italian Art’s former Scholar-in-Residence 2018-19, In Focus: Jannis Kounellis as Mentor will look specifically at the impact of Kounellis during his time as a professor of sculpture at the Academy of Fine Arts in Düsseldorf from 1993 to 2001, and later in the early 2000s, holding workshops throughout Europe. The program will feature a presentation by Guzzetti, followed by a conversation with artist Calixto Ramírez. A video of an interview with Michelle Coudray and Bruno Corà, respectively president and member of the scientific committee of Archivio Kounellis in Rome, will also be screened.

Join us at Magazzino next week on Saturday, November 12, 2022, from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m. with a reception following the program. Tickets are available here

He received fellowships and grants from: CIMA (Center for Italian Modern Art), New York; Bibliothèque Kandinsky - Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris; Harvard University; Magazzino Italian Art Foundation, Cold Spring, NY; The Morgan Library & Museum, New York.

He curated exhibitions, such as Facing America: Mario Schifano 1960-1965 (CIMA, New York, 2021). He is currently working on a book manuscript about the relationships between Arte Povera and American art in the early 1970s.

About Calixto Ramírez

Calixto Ramírez is a Mexican artist born on the border of Reynosa with Hidalgo, Texas who has led a semi-nomadic life. This relationship to movement, has consciously and unconsciously influenced his way of understanding reality and has informed his capacity to use that experience as a tool to produce images, objects, spaces or gestures that propose new narratives. Calixto studied at the National School of Painting, Sculpture and Printmaking “La Esmeralda,” Mexico City, and spent a semester in a school exchange program with the National University of Colombia, Bogotá. In 2013 Jannis Kounellis invited him to live and work in Italy which gave him an opportunity to immerse himself in the European art scene, specifically in Italy. In 2019 Calixto returned to north Mexico. He has been the recipient of numerous grants and awards such as FONCA´s grant “Contigo a la distancia,” (2018), and the “Level 0 Prize” in Art Verona, Italy (2105); as well as a completed residencies around the world, including the residency program at Fundación Marcelino Botín in Spain (2009). He has exhibited at the Museo Jumex, Museo del Palacio de Bellas Artes, Museo de Arte Moderno (Mexico), Museo de Arte Carrillo Gil, Museo de la Cd. De México, Museo de Arte de Sonora, Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Tamaulipas, Museo de Arte Raúl Anguiano, Escuela Superior de Música y Danza de Monterrey, Nave Generadores and Fototeca de Nuevo León, Fondazione MEMMO, Fondazione smART, Museo del Novecento in Naples, and the National Art Gallery of Tirana. He currently lives and works in Monterrey, México.

Every painting and sculpture has been picked up on foot. From the Lower East Side to Red Hook.

The process of selecting work has been largely intuitive, following conversations and ongoing relationships with the artists involved.

Oliver Clegg’s Lumière is part of the artist’s series of paintings based on Happy Meal toys. Clegg has rendered the character dutifully, though a certain peculiarity hangs over the work - something buoyant and incalculable which keeps the composition charged with vitality.

Brittany Adeline King weaves her genealogy with ubiquitous forms and gestures. She employs the image archives of herself and her family members in order to uphold fragments of time under the lens of here and now. A faded baby photo is centered in the mass of paint and matter comprising Banana's Boat - with formal impressions decorating the largely red and mauve canvas.

Chris Martin submits to the inner drive of his paintings, spawning rich chromatic displays of abstraction populated by his distinctive motifs. The painting on view carries his legacy of glittery saturation and textural brushstrokes which culminate in a seven pointed star.

Louis Osmosis is a tactical artist, challenging his modified detritus by extending materials beyond the field of discard. Daycare is a boxed-in confluence of sticks comprising a tumbleweed and placed in the middle of the gallery floor. The work has potential to expand throughout the exhibition, with packages sent to Martos on a whim, carried over to STL, then situated in the room.

Mimi Park’s previous bodies of work have traced her concern for the connective tissue between ideas and people, made explicit through her cultivated environment at Lubov earlier this year. For Step Count we see her ideas condensed onto the picture plane, with figures decorating her specific ecosystem.

Alison Peery’s massive Snorlax sits comfortably in the gallery’s corner, snoozing instead of manning the space. He’s fabricated with Peery’s signature textiles - her dealings with the pharmaceutical industrial complex are literally woven into the creature’s body.

Will Sheldon’s cropped soft torso is decorated with a cool off the shoulder top and a cinched belt at the hips. Sheldon places specific emphasis on the skull and bones buckle which dominates the image’s lower half with its meticulous rendering of the shiny surface and light’s reflection. Esther Sibiude illustrations are like biomorphic landscapes, patterned with loose strands of colored pencil in soft pastel shades. They remain in a vibrant state of becoming, never quite settled into category or fixed within a narrative.

Hannah Taurins materializes an array of unknowable, yet discerning women in colored pencils and paint. Spinning Out is pared down to a deeply chromatic pencil rendering of another femme character caught in an extreme act of contortion. The face is recognizable, though... Could that be Liza Minnelli?

Dean Violante’s oversized illustration bears the traces of process. Pencil marks delineate forgone ideas, whereas the ink communicates a final resolution. The papers are joined together to a woven effect.
