Taking your Time - Robert Barry
Exhibition from Saturday February 18 to Saturday April 28, 2012
Opening in presence of the artist on Saturday February 18, 2012 from 6 pm to 9 pm
1, 2, 3, 4, 5 goes the title of Niele Toroni’s book. As it seems our time is running out, let’s take our time. Let's take a cushion, a book and consult the book on a cushion.
Take your time to sit for a moment and read a book, that is what Robert Barry proposes in this new exhibition at mfc-michèle didier gallery, entitled Taking your Time.
The artist has collected books since the 60’s and has selected for this exhibition 27 works from his personal library that are related to «time». The productions are carefully selected in a wide spread of time going from 1966 to 2008 and represent this universal idea of time through their title, their cover or their content.
Moreover, Robert Barry's curatorial proposal is to place these books on a table, the "Time Table" as he calls it. This presentation is enhanced by his decision to duplicate the pages of each book that he considers important on the walls of the gallery.
At this occasion, mfc-michèle didier gallery presents all its productions created with Robert Barry to this date, giving the visitor all the time to appreciate the mystery of the work Art Lovers, to consult the 25 volumes of One Billion Colored Dots and to watch the film One Billion Dots.
In partnership with les Cahiers du MNAM, the latest issue containing Frédéric Paul's text on One Billion Colored Dots will be available for consultation at the gallery.

NEW YORK, NY, February 16, 2012 – EPIX (www.epixhd.com), the multi-screen, multi-platform premium entertainment service, announced today that it will be the exclusive U.S. broadcaster of Amnesty International’s Secret Policeman’s Ball, to be held at New York City’s Radio City Music Hall, Sunday March 4, 2012 at 7pm ET/4pm PT. This year’s event marks the first time the world-renowned comedy and music festival will be held in the United States, broadcast live and commercial free on EPIX and streamed online at EpixHD.com and via EPIX apps on Xbox 360 and Roku. Participating affiliated television providers including charter.net/epix and verizon.com/fiostvonline will also offer a live stream of the event on their online portals.
New performers added to the show include American comedians Fred Armisen, Hannibal Buress, David Cross, Bill Hader, Rashida Jones, Seth Meyers, Bob Odenkirk, John Oliver, Andy Samberg, Sarah Silverman, Statler & Waldorf from Disney’s The Muppets, Jason Sudeikis and Kristen Wiig plus British comics Noel Fielding, Micky Flanagan, Peter Serafinowicz and Jack Whitehall. The all-star lineup of music and comedy talent includes previously announced artists Coldplay, Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, Mumford & Sons, Russell Brand and Reggie Watts.
EPIX is partnering with Amnesty International to target the enormous fan bases of the comedians and musical artists performing in the show, reaching over 150 million Twitter and Facebook followers. Throughout the event EPIX will offer a second screen companion application where viewers will be able to learn more about Amnesty International and the historic series of Secret Policeman’s Balls dating back to 1976, connect with their favorite performers and follow the conversation via Facebook and Twitter.
“We are delighted to present this extraordinary lineup of music and comedy talent to our viewers,” said Mark Greenberg, EPIX President and CEO. “EPIX’s all-access, multiplatform availability allows us to bring Amnesty International’s message to a new generation.”
“We are excited to work with EPIX to bring the event to the U.S. and reach a wider audience of younger viewers,” said Andy Hackman, Executive Producer for Amnesty International.
“Amnesty International is thrilled that so many top comedians, musicians and entertainers will sound off for free speech at The Secret Policeman’s Ball by using the power of speech itself to challenge and resist those who would constrain it,” said Suzanne Nossel, Amnesty International USA’s new executive director. “On March 4, we will stand with bloggers in Egypt, China and Azerbaijan, a writer in Cameroon, Burmese comedian Zarganar, who was sentenced to 35 years in prison for mocking his government, and countless others facing punishment for writing and saying what they think.”
Amnesty International’s Secret Policeman’s Ball is a co-production of Amnesty International, Control Room and EPIX. Executive Producers are Lily Sobhani of Amnesty International and Aaron Grosky of Control Room.
Ross Bernard is the Program Executive for EPIX.

New Works by Mark Gonzales in 212Gallery
212GALLERY
212GALLERY is pleased to present a
group of six new large-scale sculptural works by Mark
Gonzales (b. 1969). This exhibition marks the first time this
series of mirror poems has been on view since its unveiling
at Los Angeles MoCA’s historic survey of street art (Art in the Streets,
2011).
In this body of work, a synthesis occurs between
Gonzales’ trademark linguistic and physical modes of expression. Gonzales’
poetry, simultaneously impulsive and profound, is
energetically rendered in spray paint on the slick surfaces of six
prodigious mirrors. The epodic exploration of various themes using
“automatic spelling” and oft-invented syntax as seen
in Gonzales’ countless self-published zines is revisited in these
monumental works.
Though it is Gonzales’ dynamically-executed verse
that elicits pause and demands closer study, the corporeal qualities of
these works quickly seduce. In a colloquial nod to
“skate culture”, Gonzales’ use of spray paint suggests reclamation of the
raw graffiti-style textthat is so often associated with skating. By way of
the monumental and uniquely architectural
ground, the viewer is allowed – forced, perhaps – to physically occupy the
space around the art and the art object itself, thereby merging the acts
of creation and experience – and conflating the roles
of artist and patron.
Mark Gonzales began his professional skateboarding
career 30 years ago; a legendary athlete, Gonzales went “pro” in his early
teens. Gonzales has always been a prolific art-maker and
writer, and first began showing his work in the early 1990s. He has had
solo exhibitions at museums and galleries in Japan, Germany France, the
United Kingdom, Brazil, and the Netherlands, in
addition to New York and Los Angeles. This is Gonzales’ first show in
Aspen.
Images are available upon request. Please
call 970-925-7117 for further details.
212GALLERY features innovative, established and
emerging international artists working across media including,
photography, painting, sculpture and mixed media. Gallery
Hours are Monday through Saturday 10-7 and Sunday
10-6. 212GALLERY 525 East Cooper Avenue, next to Ralph
Lauren.
