Shaka
Exhibition: October 19 - November 9, 2012

gallery nine5 is pleased to present a series of recent works by renowned French artist Shaka. Already an established name on the underground scene in Europe and South America, this will be the first time that Shaka will exhibit his bold style in North America.

Shaka focuses on portraiture and figures in movement to reveal the emotional workings behind the façade of everyday human interactions. His figures twist and turn in an energetic color palette, the movement of their bodies representing the struggle for individuality in social power politics. Heightening the internal conflicts of each figure, the paintings feature bas-relief details that pop out from the two-dimensional plane, underscoring the sense of escape and emancipation.

The exhibition centers on an impressive triptych titled Street Allegory. Constructed from oil and plaster, the piece is a composition of impassioned figures charging out of the picture plane to fight against dominant classes and social structures. The high contrast of the piece is amplified by the influence of red on an otherwise achromatic canvas. The figures appear to be a mob in pursuit of the viewer; their faces contorted in acute anxiety. The cohesion of the mob is just an illusion though, as we are tricked by the balance of the composition into believing we see a single group when in fact each member is fending for himself. The piece is a commentary on the mirage of community experienced through political constructs, while also a nod to the stereotypes of the street art movement, which has gained recent mainstream exposure. Dominant language relegates “street artist” to a single category ignoring the diversity in style, motivation, and creative ambition of each individual.

Shaka has been practicing his unique method of sculpting right on the canvas since 2007 in the heart of Paris’s burgeoning contemporary art scene. He mixes technical elements and classical influences with new-age styles like tattoo design and graffiti culture. Shaka’s wide net of inspiration allows him to infuse his work with a commanding presence. Besides the large-scale format that is emblematic of his style, his work is known for a pulsating menagerie of polygons, lines, and angles infused with radiating colors. These elements reflect the inner conflicts of each of Shaka’s subjects who are searching, presumably like us, for individuality, while simultaneously living within communities organized by social norms. In Human Behavior, for example, two figures try to balance on top of two hills of empty drawers. The structure is unstable and ultimately both figures will fall. Shaka has painted a physical manifestation of the inner instability of his subjects.

Shaka (Marchal Mithouard) was born in Evry, France in 1975. He graduated with a BFA in Fine Art from the Sorbonne, where he graduated with a Masters in Multimedia Arts as well. Shaka has exhibited his work in galleries (and on the streets) all over Europe including Paris, Brussels, Berlin, London, and Rio de Janeiro.

Posner Fine Art - Beverly Fishman

OCTOBER 2012 Chroma Dose  Shown Above: Pill Spill (detail) Installation at the Detroit Institute of Art Read more about Beverly Fishman's installation in the Huffington Post Also Available:   Acid Kandyland #2 Acrylic and Enamel on Stainless Steel 84" x 26" Shown to the Right:    Dividose: E.X.P. Acrylic and Enamel on Stainless Steel 58" x 84" (three panels) Beverly Fishman In a new series of visually provocative abstractions, Beverly Fishman explores the fast evolving relationship between our bodies and contemporary technology. Her vibrantly colored paintings and sculptures have their genesis in diverse patterns and iconography drawn from scientific imaging systems and pharmaceutical packaging. By manipulating and layering these representational traces of the body into dense, psychedelic compositions, Fishman raises questions about the vulnerability of human identity in an in an increasingly digitized and electronically-mediated world. Beverly Fishman's paintings are configurations of horizontal panels of polished stainless steel, each containing dense visual fields woven from neural imagery, sound waves, EEG graphs and other technological data. These accumulate into optically dazzling moiré patterns that are interrupted by images of drug capsules and molecular symbols. Painted in enamel on mirrored metal, the dynamic surfaces mingle with the reflections of spectators in the surrounding environment, allowing us to view our own fractured image in the multiple panels. The "Dividose" paintings, so named for multi-tab pills designed for user-controlled dosages, evoke what art historians and imaging theorist Barbara Maria Stafford has called "a frenzied inscape...that captures both the effect and the seduction of such mood-altering substances. These works are what they represent: stimulants." Fishman's Pill Spill, currently on display at the Detroit Institute of Art is an installation of unique glass capsule forms that take their cue from mood-altering drugs. Like her paintings, each of the hand blown elements juxtapose multiple patterns, surfaces, and hues into an arresting spectacle. In 2011, Pill Spill first took form as an installation of 120 capsules in the Toledo Museum of Art, installed in dialogue with the architecture of the museum's Glass Pavilion. The capsules are configured to underscore the viewer's personal relationship to pharmaceuticals. These tantalizing yet paradoxical medications -- glass capsules that won't dissolve -- remind us that medicine can be both a cure and a poison.   Beverly Fishman has exhibited internationally and has garnered numerous honors including fellowships from the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation, Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation, and the National Endowment for the Arts. Last year she received the Hassam, Speicher, Betts, and Symons Purchase Award from the American Academy of Arts and Letters. Her work is in many public collections including the Columbus Museum of Art, Detroit Art Institute of Arts, Miami Art Museum, Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art, and Toledo Museum of Art.  Posner Fine Art is always available to assist you with your fine art and accessory needs.

Space Invaders

Having trouble viewing this email? Click here

Space Invaders, organized by guest curator Karin Bravin, features the work of eighteen artists who make use of the unique spaces at Lehman College - both inside the galleries and outside the building. Using the walls, the ceiling, the floor, or the balcony above the atrium, works appear to grow out of the structure, hang down, wrap around, or peer out from under. Working with a specific location in mind, the space becomes the artist's canvas. The outcome can be organic and free flowing, expressive and thought provoking. These site-specific installations will include floor-bound works arranged in sprawling configurations that appear to be organically inspired. Some of the artists use large sculptures that skillfully appropriate both indoor and outdoor spaces. Others use bits of material that might have once intersected with someone's life creating an expanding cultural collage, and some create installations that cascade from a ceiling or stretch from inside to outside. Each artist will inhabit the space differently, taking cues from the distinctive architecture - Lehman College Art Gallery is located in a building designed by Marcel Breuer in 1960. Upon approaching the gallery from the center of the campus, the viewer will encounter Rachel Hayes' boldly colored fabric installation. Light and wind affect the piece as it is viewed from both indoors and outdoors. On the Goulden Avenue side of the campus viewers will find Dahila Elsayed's series of text-based flags. These festive, poetic, and suggestive visual markers metaphorically call to attention aspects of the campus with which one might not be familiar. DeWitt Godfrey's monumental steel tubes sit under an overpass, nestled between concrete walls. Kim Beck's work will lead us from the outside to inside with vinyl decals of commonly overlooked weeds that grow out of cracks and up walls.   Inside, in the gallery lobby, Sheila Pepe will dress the atrium with a degree of craft and decoration that likely was never intended for Marcel Breuer's cast concrete; Rita MacDonald's large-scale wall drawing plays up the roundness of the foyer's walls with an image of a pattern caught in a spinning motion. Carol Salmanson's Hercules Light, made of transparent green plexiglass, will mimic the shape of the building's massive support columns, emphasizing contrasting feelings of weightlessness and ephemerality. In the galleries, Diana Cooper will combine fragmented photographs with three-dimensional elements, abstracted, but projecting an inherent sense of oppressive systems, networks, circuitry and surveillance. Heeseop Yoon's installation of black masking tape on Mylar will play with positive and negative space, void and solid, transforming the space into a busy network of lines that not only slows down the process of seeing and drawing but also suspends the viewer's gaze. Franklin Evans' work will explode the boundaries of painting with such disparate elements as books, sound recordings, sculpture, painting, artist's materials, digital images, drawing, and process residue. Abigail Deville will transform the small video room using found and inherited domestic objects that make a connection to her personal universe and the one at large. Cordy Ryman's Rafter Web Scrapwall will be a sprawling 30 foot wall installation of recycled remains from a previous installation of painted wood pieces; Mariah Robertson will create a cascading floor to ceiling installation of unique photographs that are the result of darkroom experimentation.  Lisa Kellner uses the language of diseased cellular activity to make large-scale installations. She hand forms, paints and sews together thousands of organic, bulbous shapes out of silk organza. Nicola Lopez will create an installation using woodblock printed Mylar that will transform a portion of the space's sloping ceiling. Robert Melee's marbleized imitation wood and drop ceiling panels will cover a space that channels and explores the distinct, yet inter-related psychologies of the suburban home. His installation will include the paintings of fellow artist Erik Hanson. Gandalf Gavan's neon and mirrored wall installation will alter the viewer's perception of the exhibition space, and Halley Zien will make use of a hidden gallery kitchen that will be invaded by hundreds of her collaged and psychologically expressive characters. October 2, 2012 - January 9, 2013  Reception: Wednesday, October 17, 6-8:00 pm Gallery Hours: Tuesday to Saturday from 10 am to 4 pm For more Information about Lehman College Art Gallery visit: www.lehman.edu/gallery  718 960 8731 Our exhibitions and programs are made possible with the generous support from: The Institute of Museum and Library Services; The New York City Council through G.

Current & Future Exhibitions at The Whitney

JULY 6–17 Yayoi Kusama, a retrospective exploring over six decades of work by the legendary artist, opens July 12. Encompassing an astonishing array of media, the exhibition includes the artist's signature patterns of dots and nets as well as many lesser-known works. Kusama's immersive installation, Fireflies on the Water, is also currently on view in the Museum's lobby gallery. And don't miss Sharon Hayes: There's so much I want to say to you, which The New York Times called "entrancing and original." The exhibition explores the connections between love, politics, and history through found footage, video and audio recordings, and ephemera. We hope to see you at the Whitney! Exhibitions Shop Become a Member Exhibitions BACK TO TOP Singular Visions Through July 15 With our latest reinstallation of the permanent collection galleries, the Whitney invites visitors to slow down and experience art in a dramatic new way. Ten highlights from the collection, many of which have not been exhibited in years, are presented in their own rooms, creating spaces for intimate and powerful encounters with a single work of art. The variety of mediums and sizes from small to sprawling reveal how artists of the last five decades have stretched the boundaries of what an artwork can be. The latest rotation of works featured in Singular Visions includes Alexander Calder's Calder's Circus and Jasper Johns' Three Flags. Sharon Hayes: There's so much I want to say to you Through September 9 Sharon Hayes (b. 1970) is a New York–based artist who uses photography, film, video, sound, and performance to examine the nexus between politics, history, speech, and desire. This exhibition brings together existing pieces and newly commissioned works, all of which articulate forms of what Hayes calls “speech acts.” The works are presented within an environment designed by Hayes for the Whitney’s third floor galleries, in collaboration with artist Andrea Geyer. Yayoi Kusama July 12–September 30, 2012 Well known for her use of dense patterns of polka dots and nets, as well as her intense, large-scale environments, Yayoi Kusama works in a variety of media, including painting, drawing, sculpture, film, performance, and immersive installation. Born in Japan in 1929, Kusama came to the United States in 1957 and quickly found herself at the epicenter of the New York avant-garde. After achieving fame through groundbreaking exhibitions and art “happenings,” she returned to her native country in 1973 and is now one of Japan’s most prominent contemporary artists. This retrospective features works spanning Kusama’s career. Kusama's Fireflies on the Water, a work in the Whitney's collection, is being shown in conjunction with Yayoi Kusama and is on view in the lobby gallery. Signs & Symbols Through October 28 Drawn from the Whitney’s collection, Signs & Symbols sheds new light on the developments of abstraction in American art during the 1940s and 1950s. Looking beyond Abstract Expressionism, toward the figurative and calligraphic “signs and symbols” present in much of the highly controlled work of this period, this exhibition features works by seminal artists including Mark Rothko, Jackson Pollock, and Adolph Gottlieb, among others. Oskar Fischinger: Space Light Art—A Film Environment Through October 28 This exhibition presents one of the first multimedia projections ever made: Oskar Fischinger’s Raumlichtkunst (Space Light Art), a re-creation of his multiple-screen film events, first shown in Germany in 1926, and recently restored by the Center for Visual Music in Los Angeles. Radical in format, its display of abstract shapes and colors produces, according to Fischinger, “an intoxication by light from a thousand sources.” . . . as apple pie On continuous view Images, like words, can trigger a cultural or emotional response to a shared national ethos. Artists have employed images—sometimes straightforwardly, often obliquely—in order to comment on a country, its people, its political or social goals, and its self-image. This exhibition explores this phenomenon through a rotating installation, drawn from the Whitney’s collection, of works on paper by a diverse group of artists including William N. Copley, Edward Hopper, Jasper Johns, Elizabeth “Grandma” Layton, Willard Midgette, LeRoy Neiman, Joseph Pennell, Charles Ray, Jaune Quick-to-See Smith, and Stow Wengenroth. Fireflies on the Water On continuous view Yayoi Kusama’s depictions of seemingly endless space have been a central focus of her artistic career. Kusama’s Fireflies on the Water (2002)—with its carefully constructed environment of lights, mirrors, and water—is one of the outstanding examples of this kind of installation, which creates a space in which individual viewers are invited to transcend their sense of self. Fireflies on the Water, a work from the Whitney's collection, is being shown in conjunction with Yayoi Kusama, which will be on view on the Museum's fourth floor July 12 through September 30. Shop  BACK TO TOP Sharon Hayes: There's so much I want to say to you $24.95 / $19.96 for members This book serves as a document of Sharon Hayes’s thinking process and provides insight into the motivations and development of her projects.
