Gallery Statement:
Every year for 50 years the L.A. Municipal Gallery has held its “Open Call” exhibit where any artist can show up with their art and an entry fee (to benefit gallery programs) and the piece is shown. The Los Angeles Center For Digital Art decided to launch an international experiment of the same nature where the artists upload images that are printed and hung by the gallery. The hundreds of works are displayed in a grid like installation (reminiscent of postcard art shows of the 1980′s) where every work submitted is exhibited.

The usual (less than democratic) selection process
where only the precious few are chosen is turned on its head in a
curatorial anarchy where everyone gets to participate and the viewer is
literally left to be the judge. The show represents a snapshot of a
current moment in art history when digital imaging has reached the hands
of the many, an age where culture belongs to the “mobblogers” around the
globe. From Thailand to Texas, amateur to academic, beautiful to banal and
beyond the monumental quantity and variety of “Snap to Grid” becomes an
aesthetic experience where each individual piece adds to an agglomerative
effect that has a life of its own.

artist Max Vadukul collaborates on photos with preeminent Chinese
artist, Ai Weiwei in China, for W magazine’s Art issue

212GALLERY’s own Max Vadukul recently collaborated with Ai Weiwei, the “most powerful person in the world of art,” according to Art Review magazine.
Mr. Ai created a story line for a series of photos that were shot on location in New York, by the photographer Max Vadukul as Mr. Ai looked on, art directing via Skype on a laptop computer from his home in China.
The photos will appear in W magazine’s November issue, the sixth annual one devoted to art. W’s editor, Stefano Tonchi, approached Mr. Ai, the outspoken Chinese artist and dissident, to do the cover not long after he was released from detention. Mr. Ai, was detained by Chinese authorities in the spring, was released under close surveillance in June.
“There is nothing quite like it,” said Vadukul, who had his first U.S. solo exhibition at 212GALLERY last March.
“He has an extraordinary vision,” said Vadukul. “He sees something that nobody else sees. That’s why he’s such an acclaimed artist. I’m mindful that I’m creating his vision. W is known for creating fine art work and then if you bring in a photographer known for his art reportage work- it’s exciting. This is the one assignment which will never be repeated again.”
Not only did Mr. Ai agree to do the cover, but a schema for a series of photos reminiscent of photos he took of the Tompkins Square riots in the 1980s, when he lived in New York. “We left it open to him to create an original work,” said Diane Solway, W magazine’s senior editor.
The resulting scene takes place at Rikers Island. They refer to Mr. Ai’s own confinement, which China’s government has forbidden him from discussing.
For Mr. Vadukul the challenge was in translating Mr. Ai’s aesthetic for W’s fashion readership.
In an October 12th, New York Times article about the collaboration, Mr. Ai specified that he wanted street clothes, in the cover photo, shot in Flushing, Queens. The model, instead, is wearing an outfit by Alexander Wang. Mr. Vadukul made some suggestions — like shooting in black and white, which he said Mr. Ai agreed with — but he was mindful that he was there to execute another person’s vision.
“I would show him the images live on the screen,” explained Vadukul. “We had skype set up in this prison. I was showing him where I’m going to shoot, frame by frame, getting him involved in the process. I felt like I was giving his vision a lot of feeling.”
“It was very surreal,” said Ms. Solway. “We could see him on the screen, scrolling through the images.”
“This is his story,” said Vadukul. “I’m doing what he’s expecting. For me, the excitement has been, firstly, to have the chance to collaborate with an artist of his stature, then to hear him actually give a very strong direction.”
“Art is traditonally most effective when it makes a social comment and he’s certainly succeeded in doing that,” said Vadukul. “He is the big big kahuna out there.”

Perry, Senior Vice President and Senior Fiduciary Officer, Northern Trust (Boston); Lou Salerno, Questroyal Gallery (New York); and Julie Sherlock, Assistant Vice President, ACE Private Risk Services (New York)

Call for Artists: Crossing Identities - Mexico
Rare Performance of Theatrical Adaptation of John Cage's James Joyce, Marcel Duchamp, Erik Satie: An Alphabet
RARE PERFORMANCE OF THEATRICAL ADAPTATION OF JOHN CAGE’S JAMES JOYCE, MARCEL DUCHAMP, ERIK SATIE:
AN ALPHABET
AN ALPHABET

Performed in the Fisher Center’s Acoustically Superb Sosnoff Theater
Presented by the John Cage Trust and New Albion Records
ANNANDALE-ON-HUDSON, N.Y. – The Richard B. Fisher Center for the Performing Arts presents John Cage’s James Joyce, Marcel Duchamp, Erik Satie: An Alphabet on Friday, November 11 and Saturday, November 12 at 8 p.m. The rarely performed theatrical piece stars John Kelly and is directed by Laura Kuhn, with music and sound design by Mikel Rouse and set design by Marco Steinberg. The program is produced by the John Cage Trust at Bard College andNew Albion Records. Tickets are $15, $25, $35, and $45. To purchase tickets call the Fisher Center box office at 845-758-900, or go to fishercenter.bard.edu.
Cage’s Alphabet began life as a highly imaginative radio play in 1982, a commission from Klaus Schöning and Cologne’s West German Radio (WDR). Working on the principles of collage, Cage created a cast of unlikely characters— the three title artists, Henry David Thoreau, Buckminster Fuller, Robert Rauschenberg, Brigham Young, and seven others. The result is a remarkably democratic intermingling of perspectives, suffused throughout with humor and irreverence for the particulars of history.
In 2001, nearly a decade after Cage’s death, director Laura Kuhn created a theatrical version of the radio play, directing its premiere in Edinburgh that same year. Sound and music designer Mikel Rouse collaborated with Kuhn and a team of composers, musicologists, and performers, collecting and cataloguing sounds for Cage’s score, which consists of almost 200 sounds “as varied and suggestive as the dialogue itself: a lawn mower, x-rays, an earthquake, a Xerox machine, a bullfight, and a marriage ceremony, to name just a few,” says Rouse.
Acclaimed actor John Kelly will perform the role of the Narrator, which he created for the theatrical version of the work. The cast also includes Mikel Rouse as James Joyce; Larry Larson as Jonathan Albert; Joan Retallack as Buckminster Fuller; Emma Reed as Mao Tse Tung; Victoria Miguel as Thorstein Veblen;Richard Teitelbaum as Robert Rauschenberg; John Seidman as Marcel Duchamp; Ferran Carvajal as Oppian; Trevor Carlson as Brigham Young; and Robin Preiss as the wife of Brigham Young. Erik Satie will be played by Merce Cunningham (on tape). Ralph Benko, in the role of Henry David Thoreau, has dropped out and is replaced by Rebeccah Johnson.
This production of James Joyce, Marcel Duchamp, Erik Satie: An Alphabet celebrates the onset of John Cage’s centennial year, the first of many events scheduled to take place around the world. It also celebrates the fourth year of the John Cage Trust’s residence at Bard College.
For tickets and information call the Fisher Center Box Office at 845-758-7900, or go to fishercenter.bard.edu.
The John Cage Trust at Bard College was established in 1993 as a not-for-profit institution whose mission is to gather together, organize, preserve, disseminate, and generally further the work of the late American composer John Cage. Its founding trustees were Merce Cunningham, artistic director of the Cunningham Dance Company; Anne d’Harnoncourt, Director of the Philadelphia Museum; and David Vaughan, Archivist of the Cunningham Dance Foundation, all long-time Cage friends and associates. Laura Kuhn, who from 1986 to 1992 worked directly with John Cage, serves as both a founding trustee and ongoing executive director.
New Albion Records was founded in San Francisco in 1984, to explore the world of art music. Its current catalogue includes 138 releases. In recent years, with the onset of the Internet, its focus has moved from recording projects to concert events. New Albion has partnered with the John Cage Trust and Merce Cunningham Dance Company.
