Exhibiting January 15 - January 30

Clay Convergence
Inspirations from the East

Expressions of the West

Recent Works by Susan Kadish & Christopher Delloiacono

Susan Kadish and Christopher Delloiacono, both Long Island-based artists specializing
in three-dimensional representations, display their recent works at the
Art League's Jeanie Tengelsen Gallery January 15 - 30.

Kadish's works, strongly influenced by ancient Asian materials and methods to create unique clay forms and vessels, as well as an array of her figurative Buddha sculptures, are an expression of her artistically diverse abilities. Delloiacono's current body of work uses the ceramic wheel as a tool of both construction and deconstruction. His goals are to demonstrate both his intuitive abilities with the medium and convey a powerful, conceptual perspective.
The combination of both Mrs. Kadish's representationaland figurative work and Mr. Delloiacono's conceptual and abstract work exhibits the true beauty of Clay convergence.

Proceeds from the sale of Mrs. Kadish's work will be donated for scholarships for children with learning disabilities through the Art League of Long Island.
Proceeds from the sale of Mr. Delloiacono's work, especially created for this event, will be donated
to United Cerebral Palsy of Nassau County.

Unions, and Guilds, and Locals, Oh, my! An evening with… IATSE

Event: Wednesday Jan. 12, 2011

Film and television workers represent a highly specialized labor force with unique skills that are hard to place a value on. Among the unions these workers rely on is The International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees, Moving Picture Technicians, Artists and Allied Crafts of the United States, to bargain with production companies for minimum wage scales, pension funds, fringe benefits and, as the new media landscape evolves, fair compensation for online content.

Membership participation and democracy are the cornerstones of the IATSE, advanced by a union structure that enables members to have a direct voice in their working lives. The membership — involved in every phase of a production — is the driving force behind the effort to obtain the wages, benefits and working conditions they need for themselves and their families. Come hear exactly how the IATSE can support your career.

PLEASE NOTE: PHOTO ID IS REQUIRED FOR ENTRY INTO THE VENUE

Dan Mahoney is Assistant Division Director of Motion Picture and Television Production of the United States and Canada for the IATSE and Chairperson of the East Coast Council of the Local Unions of the IATSE. His responsibilities include the negotiation, administration and facilitation of IATSE Motion Picture, Television and Commercial Production agreements in the US and Canada. Mahoney has been involved in the New York production industry since 1974 – working as a Key Grip until 1996 on such productions as Once Upon a Time in America, Ransom, Devil’s Advocate and many others. In 1997, he became the Business Representative of Motion Picture Studio Mechanics Local 52 IATSE in New York.

Samantha Dulaney (pictured above) was appointed in February, 2008, as the first In-House Counsel in the General Office of the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees, Moving Picture Technicians, Artists and Allied Crafts of the United States, its Territories and Canada. Dulaney’s job at the I.A.T.S.E. involves locals that represent workers in every facet of motion picture, television, broadcast and live entertainment industries. She assists in negotiating contracts with some of America’s largest entertainment industry employers and provides assistance to Union representatives on behalf of 38 local unions.

Moderator and NYWIFT President Alexandra Levi launched her first consulting practice when she was 21, developing financial and tax strategies for individuals and small businesses in entertainment and media. Eight years later, she became CFO of a modeling agency headquartered in New York. She developed the company's commercial, television and film divisions, negotiating some of the largest contracts in the industry. In 1999, she became vice president of entertainment at a communications firm, producing content for film and television, and heading licensing, branding and distribution programs. After six years, she returned to her own practice, helping individuals and businesses grow their businesses, plus create and preserve wealth.

JUDIT REIGL: NEW WORKS ON PAPER

JUDIT REIGL: NEW WORKS ON PAPER

AT ROOSTER GALLERY, 190 ORCHARD STREET, LOWER EAST SIDE, NYC

OPENING RECEPTION: THURSDAY, JANUARY 13, 6-8PM

FROM JANUARY 13 – FEBRUARY 13

Rooster Gallery Contemporary Art announces celebrated artist Judit Reigl’s “New Works on Paper,” opening on Thursday, January 13, 2011. This upcoming exhibition of the doyenne of writing-painting features works done specifically for Rooster’s space, and complements Ubu Gallery’s current exhibition of Reigl’s graphic works and paintings.

Judit Reigl (born 1923) fled Hungary in 1950 and has been working since then in Paris, where she was first championed by André Breton. Her initial surrealist aesthetic was soon replaced by an abstract style consonant with the New York School.   The works being shown at Rooster Gallery represent Reigl’s return, after several decades of  different approaches and perceptions, to gestural painting.  

Reigl’s work is currently on view at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. In addition, Reigl’s works are held by Tate Modern, London; the Centre Pompidou, Paris; the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; the Museum of Modern Art, New York; and the Albright-Knox Art Gallery, Buffalo. Rooster Gallery is proud to present these new site-specific works.

LAS VEGAS, Jan. 5, 2011 - Online video sharing site Vimeo(R), an operating business of IAC [NASDAQ: IACI], today announced that it has increased the size of a single file that a Vimeo Plus member can upload from 2GB to 5GB.

As one of the only video sharing websites without limits on video length, this increased file size option gives Vimeo Plus members the ability to upload long-form content without compromising quality through heavy file compression. On average, 5GB is enough space for roughly 2.5 hours of HD video. Creators can now share their feature films, full-length documentaries, or a whole Little League game in HD.

"Since we launched our Vimeo Plus service two years ago, we have continually added to and rounded out its offerings," said Dae Mellencamp, Vimeo's General Manager. "We continually strive to provide our subscriber base with the best and most robust features available."
