About FOUNTAIN ART FAIR:
“Possessed of a scrappy, youthful verve lacking in its more prestigious neighbors… Fountain was distinguished by a vintage street/self-taught aesthetic…” —ArtForum
“The artists displaying their multimedia wares here are true avant-garde upstarts… Saturating your eyeballs with new imagery while listing on a rusty boat? Priceless.” —NBC New York
“The way an art fair should be.” —The Economist
“Fountain draws the type of unruly installations and unsettling performances that make it an unpredictable must-see… It’s perfect for jaded art lovers wondering where they can stumble across fresh, anti-corporate, stick-it-to-the-man hijinks in a laid back environment reminiscent of Burning Man” —Miami New Times
Fountain Art Fair was founded in 2006 as an attempt to leverage support for smaller independent galleries to gain access to larger collectors and critics. Since its inception, Fountain has held five exhibitions in Miami, one in Chicago, and six in New York. From its roots deep within the independent Williamsburg art scene, Fountain has grown to represent over 20 international avant-garde galleries and projects, showcasing progressive primary-market works.

The Paintings of Louis Comfort Tiffany: Works from a Long Island Collection
Drawn from an important Long Island collection, this major exhibition showcases approximately 125 oils and works on paper by Louis Comfort Tiffany (1848-1933), an American artist most closely associated with the Art Nouveau and Aesthetic movements. Centered on Tiffany’s paintings, which he created for himself to memorialize his travels and surroundings, The Paintings of Louis Comfort Tiffany offers an uncommon glimpse into the artist’s personal world and travels. The exhibition, the first in the metropolitan area since 1979 to focus on Tiffany’s paintings, also includes some examples of Tiffany’s decorative arts, especially stained glass lamps and windows.

Collectors
of fine art are given the rare opportunity to acquire and meet arguably
one of the most sought after and collected artists of our time. You
will find masterpieces from Asencio around the globe; heads of state,
Saudi sheiks, movie stars, sports icons and corporate giants have all
come to realize the joy of collecting fine works of art created by
Asencio. Comparisons are often made to the great masters before him such
as Willem de Kooning, Lucien Freud, Gustav Klimt and Pablo Picasso.
Asencio’s masterful works of art have indeed plucked at the heart
strings of art collectors. Powerful brush strokes charged with dancing
light and brilliant hues. His masterful use of the brush and pallet
knife, his brilliant juxtaposition of colors, the passionate reds, use
of shadow and light, all create tension and expectation. Asencio brings
to us the glorious human form, sensual, respectfully rendered, a
celebration of the divine creation. As you gaze at his masterful works,
you are transported to a place where the world is as it should be.....
Filled with color, beauty and warmth. This is Asencio’s world, and he
invites you to be part of it! —

finalist for the National Book Award and the Pulitzer Prize), and the New York Times bestsellers The Falls (winner of the 2005 Prix
Femina Etranger) and The Gravedigger’s
Daughter. Her many literary awards include the National Book Award,

Konstantin Dimopoulos - The Shower Room
Konstantin
Dimopoulos - The Shower
Room
Until 8 October 2011 at the Conny Dietzschold
Gallery, Sydney - Australia
‘Transformation’ is the focus of
this new installation by Konstantin Dimopoulos. The black-and-white
Bergman-like images, seemingly crafted from some Nordic or Barbaric lands,
are transplanted effortlessly here in this Antipodean landscape. In
The Shower Room, Dimopoulos creates a series of modular
shower units, five in total. Each stand-alone work is 3 meters in height,
made of black steel, with a shower unit held on five stem pediments. The
dark spider-like legs, long and extended, splay outwards from the centre
of the shower, each leg sitting on castors that allow them to move freely.
Their mobility is a statement in itself, the portability of
ideas.
These industrial fittings originally designed for a
domestic setting are now transformed to some other purpose, some political
convenience. Conceived to cleanse the living, brutal pieces of the
ordinary, that transform the day-to-day bathroom shower to something more
malevolent. Statements of man’s creative imagination. These showers have a
similarity to the showers we know and use. And yet our memory tells us
that we have seen these images before within a different context. They
stand like black triffids in rows, waiting to be activated. Their long
necks curving down, with shards of white lines raining out from their
steel perforated shower heads towards the floor.
In the smaller gallery, we see another installation
The Bed–Sitting Room. To one side of the room sits a
black iron bed. Again the idea of transformation and memory is brought
into play. We have seen this room before but something has changed. The
bed seems strangely altered, stretched and emaciated. On the wall a
drawing of a family portrait from a wedding is slightly off-center,
tilted, so that you want to go up and straighten it. While on a shelf
metronome-like units keep time. The transformation and monotone nature of
these works, the black and white pastiche of colour within the gallery
suggest something more of a collective memory exploring the synapses of a
common consciousness.
