Contemporary art and dance interact at the University of Tulsa... Cathy Brealaw

Contemporary art and dance interact at the University of Tulsa "Recently at the Alexandre Hogue Gallery was an exhibition by Cathy Breslaw, "Material Visions" a mixed media installation. During this exhibition the Advanced Dance Repertory Class came to the gallery and were so moved by the exhibition that each performer chose a piece of Cathy's work that inspired them and they choreographed their own portion of the dance as well as choreographing it together as a group dance. The group came to the gallery and performed their dance and we were lucky enough to have been able to film their performance. We would like to thank Cathy Breslaw for her beautiful art that inspired these young performers. We would also like to thank Professor Jessica Vokoun from the Theater Department for guiding these students in their journey of being inspired by art. We would like to thank the performers for their hard work, imagination, and creativity: Harley Dixon, Sara Drost, Maggie O'Gara, Lizzy Rainey, Jillian Schlecht, and John Yuan." Lora Hodge Art Department, University of Tulsa "I was so touched that my work inspired feelings in others, and to see this played out in the form of 'dance' is a blessing and a gift." Cathy Breslaw More of my work can be seen at my next exhibition 'Imaginings' which will be held at the beautiful contemporary art gallery Rose Gallery, on the campus of Francis Parker School, San Diego California. I am planning a large central installation called 'Dream Scape'. The show opens with a reception on Thursday, April 2nd from 4:00 - 6:00 pm. The public is welcome and the show will be on view through May 7th.

ART WYNWOOD ACHIEVES RECORD SUCCESS AND ATTENDANCE IN ITS FOURTH YEAR

ART WYNWOOD ACHIEVES RECORD SUCCESS AND ATTENDANCE IN ITS FOURTH YEAR  Major Collectors from New York, Miami and Abroad Make Important Acquisitions   Miami (February 19, 2015) - Art Wynwood, the annual Presidents Day Weekend art fair, presented over 60 galleries, from 9 countries representing over 25 cities, featured a wide breadth of quality works from both established and mid-career cutting edge artists. The Fourth Edition reported record attendance, attracting over 35,000 enthusiasts and some of the world's most prominent collectors; as well as a strong show of patrons from the international clientele in town for the Yacht & Brokerage Show. Art Wynwood has secured its position as the most important contemporary art fair in the southeast during the winter months by offering the most discerning international collectors, art enthusiasts and seasoned cultural travelers the best opportunity to discover, explore and collect some of the most significant art works of our time. "The City of Miami and The Wynwood Arts District continues to deliver for our participating dealers while quenching the thirst of an active international art collecting community who are visiting or residing in South Florida each winter," said Nick Korniloff, Executive VP of Art Miami LLC.  "This past weekend proved that Miami continues to develop as a serious cultural destination outside the month of December". "For the fourth edition of Art Wynwood, the enthusiasm, focus and momentum of our local, regional and international galleries has made the fair an exceptional success," said Grela Orihuela, Art Wynwood Fair Director. "Our clear determination was to continue to grow and shape this fair into an event embodying the tremendous art character and talent of its Miami roots."   Christie's International Real Estate hosted an interactive booth at the entrance of Art Wynwood, exhibiting international luxury residential real estate offerings, and a new addition to the fair was a special exhibition titled SOLO Miami where a selection of local galleries, including Emerson Dorsch, GUCCIVUITTON, Primary, Fredric Snitzer Gallery and Spinello Projects, exhibited side-by-side to present solo exhibitions premiering exciting new work by consequential local artists. #fineartmagazine

Major Global Pop Culture Movement Born in New York, Documented by Three Leading Photographers at the Museum of the City of New York

The Museum of the City of New York presents

 HIP-HOP REVOLUTION: Photographs by Janette Beckman, Joe Conzo, and Martha Cooper, an exhibition that shows the historic early days of hip-hop culture and music, with its roots firmly in New York, and how it evolved towards the worldwide phenomenon it is today.

Bringing together for the first time the work of three of the most dynamic and renowned photographers of the hip-hop scene, the exhibition shows the birth of a new cultural movement—with its accompanying music, dance, fashion and style—as it quickly and dramatically swept from its grassroots origins into an expansive commercial industry. The exhibition is a follow-up to the City Museum’s highly acclaimed 2014 City as Canvas exhibition on graffiti art, which brought critical praise and a large audience.

“In New York’s long history, the creativity born of the city’s density and diversity has brought enormous riches to the world,” said Susan Henshaw Jones, Ronay Menschel Director of the Museum of the City of New York. “Hip-hop is yet another incredibly vibrant example of how the world has been shaped by what started in New York. You can see this dynamic and influential music and culture come to life in this exhibition through the powerful photographs of three wonderful photographers.”

Hip-Hop Revolution presents more than 100 photographs taken between 1977 and 1990 by the three preeminent New York-based photographers—Janette Beckman, Joe Conzo, and Martha Cooper—who documented hip-hop from its pioneering days in the boroughs of New York through its emergence into mainstream popular culture worldwide.

Hip-hop culture, incorporating such elements as DJ-ing, MC-ing (rapping), and breaking (dancing), was born on the streets of New York City in the 1970s, largely in the Bronx and Manhattan, and grew to have a global impact on popular culture that continues to the present day. The exhibition showcases the experiences of each photographer during these seminal years, as DJs, MCs, and b-boys and b-girls (breakdancers) were innovating, and developing new forms of self-expression. The work of these photographers—featuring early figures such as Afrika Bambaata, Kool Herc, and Cold Crush Brothers, breakers such as Rock Steady Crew and the Dynamic Rockers, and acts such as Run DMC and the Beastie Boys—form a broad survey of a movement that is indelibly linked to New York City and still has a resounding influence today.

SCOPE New York’s open-plan design eschews the cookie-cutter art fair clamor for a decidedly thoughtful, polished presentation. Maintaining exhibition square footage and improving useable wall space, galleries will no longer be divided into small booths, but rather, flow beautifully into one another, creating curatorial narratives that encompasses the entire show.

The first fair to run concurrent with The Armory Show, SCOPE’s spirit of innovation has consistently forged the way for emerging artists, galleries and art fairs. Attuned to nuances in the market and itself an influential force in the cultural sphere, SCOPE is again poised to usher in a new vision of the contemporary art fair. #fineartmagazine

Catinca Tabacaru Gallery presents Gail Stoicheff: Distressed Blonde, March 1 - 29, 2015

Detail of Installation, Poisson, 2015, oil and dye on linen and canvas, Hydrocal, 61 x 52 inches Gail Stoicheff: DISTRESSED BLONDE March 1 - 29, 2015 250 Broome Street, New York, NY 10002 OPENING Reception: Sunday, March 1, 6PM-8PM Catinca Tabacaru Gallery presents Gail Stoicheff: Distressed Blonde, an exhibition of 13 white rabbits, one phoenix, a handful of medium-sized paintings and two large scale works for which the artist demanded new walls be built. This marks Stoicheff’s first solo exHibition in New York as well as the gallery’s first show with the Brooklyn based painter. Stoicheff is a material alchemist with two broken fingErs. In her hands, base elements of linen, velvet, gypsum, dye and oil paint are transformed into an unknown alloy. Like a heavy case of jemais vu, she conjures weirdness from the familiar through quasi-magical imagery, mysterious surfaces and smalL cast objects. The work is simultaneously serious and Playful, often calling into question which is which---cute becomes ominous, common becomes strange. The pieces presented here are visually bountiful. The large works evoke flags of imaginary countries with questionable ideologies or leftover artifacts from a commune that has collapsed into a cult. Her Manipulations of canvas manifest trompe-l’oeil hellish cave walls and dark sacred geometry one moment and bright hippie mysticism the next.  Upon these, marks of the painting process are allowed to coexist with intentional gestures, adornment and defacement at once. Small rabbits cast in Hydrocal or painted in oil populate the gallery, leaning against or sitting aloft larger works, inviting us to follow them down the rabbit hole that is Stoicheff’s eclectic practicE. Fifi (detail), 2015, oil and dye on velvet and canvas, Hydrocal, metal chain, 96 x 72 inches Raised in a small town in rural Pennsylvania, Stoicheff received her MFA from Bard College, Milton Avery Graduate School of the Arts, in 2005. She was the recipient of Robert Motherwell’s prestigious Daedalus Foundation Master of Fine Arts Fellowship in Painting, as well as The Elaine DeKooning Painting Award, and was recently the featured cover artist for Little Star Weekly literary journal. She has been with the gallery since its inception.  250 Broome Street Tuesday - Sunday 11am - 6pm T 212-260-2481      www.catincatabacaru.com #fineartmagazine

June Harwood, Louis Stern Fine Arts

JUNE HARWOOD (1933 – 2015) “My paint application was (always) uniform, that is to say that no brush strokes were evident, creating impeccable, flat surfaces. Thus there would be no distraction from the intent, which was to create an interplay of ‘colorforms.’ Jules (Langsner) used this term to mean that color and form are one. One would not exist without the other.” - June Harwood in interview June Harwood made a name for herself in the 1960s as an inventive Hard Edge painter. She was included in nearly every important Hard Edge exhibition in and around Southern California, most significantly in California Hard Edge Painting curated by Jules Langsner in 1964 and in Dave Hickey’s invigorating 2004 homage to “The Los Angeles School” exhibited at Otis College of Art and Design. Harwood was born in Middletown, New York and received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Syracuse University and Master of Arts from California State University at Los Angeles.  Her training at Syracuse University, with an emphasis on the formal aspects of painting, reasonably predicted her interest in Hard-Edge- the term having been coined by her late husband, art critic Jules Langsner. Harwood has exhibited widely on the West Coast, and her work is included in numerous private, corporate and public collections including University of Southern California, University of California Santa Barbara, California State University Los Angeles, Los Angeles Valley College, Long Beach Museum of Art, Newport Museum of Art, San Jose Museum of Art, Cedars Sinai Hospital, Los Angeles, Home Savings and Loan, Los Angeles, and Western States Producing Company, San Antonio. In addition to her career as an artist, Harwood was a celebrated educator in the arts for many years, including her 1972-1994 tenure as Professor of Art at Los Angeles Valley College. June Harwood is represented exclusively by Louis Stern Fine Arts. 3fineartmagazine

12 February 2015, Amsterdam – King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands officially opened the Late Rembrandt exhibition at the Rijksmuseum today.

12 February 2015, Amsterdam – King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands officially opened the Late Rembrandt exhibition at the Rijksmuseum today. The Rijksmuseum’s Director and General Manager Wim Pijbes and Head of Visual Arts Gregor Weber accompanied King Willem-Alexander on a tour of the exhibition highlighted by masterworks including the Portrait of Jan Six (Six Collection), Self-Portrait with Two Circles (Kenwood House, London) and the Family Portrait (Herzog Anton Ulrich-museum, Braunschweig). Late Rembrandt is the Rijksmuseum’s first ever presentation of a major exhibition dedicated to Rembrandt’s late works.  The exhibition provides a comprehensive overview of Rembrandt’s output between 1651 and his death in 1669 – including over one hundred works, all of which created in Amsterdam.  Complementing Rijksmuseum’s extensive collection of Rembrandt are works on loan from leading international museums and private collections, many never before shown together. Late Rembrandt is created in collaboration with The National Gallery London, where the exhibition was held 15 October 2014 – 18 January 2015.
