The first group of selected screenplays on the Athena List will be announced at the festival.

"It is my great honor to receive an award in Laura Ziskin’s name from the Athena Film Festival,” said Sherry Lansing.  “Laura helped lead the way for so many women in Hollywood and she would be incredibly proud of the filmmakers highlighted at this event.” 

“As the founding sponsor of the Athena Film Festival, Artemis Rising Foundation looks forward to participating in the event every year,” said Regina K. Scully.  “ We always find it a great privilege to be involved in this festival which is so deeply invested in supporting and acknowledging women in the film industry.”

Eugene Lemay in collaboration with Shen Wei Dance Arts Opening tomorrow January 12th

Eugene Lemay in collaboration with Shen Wei Dance Arts Opening tomorrow January 12th Tomorrow January 12th at Mana Contemporary, Mike Weiss Gallery artist Eugene Lemay will debut a selection of new works with a special collaborative performance by Shen Wei Dance Arts.   Eugene Lemay at Mana Contemporary 1-6pm Sunday January 12, 2014 888 Newark Ave Jersey City, NJ 07306        Known for his large inkjet prints of landscapes, skies, or Hebrew and Arabic-like texts cast in a rich mottled black, Eugene Lemay presents viewers with a string of somber visual riddles. He creates a tapestry of indiscernible marks that conjure notions of remembrance tied to a vivid, almost visceral sense of terrain that emulates the silent, mysterious effect of the night. Once a Navigator in the Israeli army, Lemay is painfully aware that wars are frequently fought over issues of territory.  The artist's obsessive, lightless works are not celebratory, rather they possess a dualistic quality hovering between commemoration and protest. He achieves an overall effect that is one of awe and reflection, where the corporeality of the handwritten word intersects with the cool order of our technological age; Lemay literally seamlessly merges the two. Eugene Lemay was named in Art & Auction magazine's Power 100 list in 2013. He has exhibited his works worldwide, including shows in Holland, Israel, Germany, Dubai, and the United States. Lemay recently founded the Middle East Centre for the Arts (MECA), an exhibition space and residency program where Jewish an Arab artists work and exhibit together. He currently lives and works in New Jersey. For questions or more information, please contact Lauren Licata at lauren@mikeweissgallery.com 520 W 24 NYC 212 691 6899 mikeweissgallery.com

Richard Barnes

Murmur No. 20, 44 x 44 inch inch pigment print  Richard Barnes  Murmur & Refuge January 15 - February 23, 2014   The formations of birds in flight and their nest building architecture are both guided by an innate sense of purpose and survival.  In an early investigation from Animal Logic (Princeton University Press, 2009), we find the photographer examining both phenomena with reverence. In Murmur, Barnes observes the flocks of starlings that cloud the skies of EUR, a suburb of Rome.  In this series, he depicts nature as it behaves on it's own, alive and breathing.  The photographs capture the birds' aerial displays, which can take on the form of suspended mesh sculpture or simply blacken the sky. The photographs of the starlings can appear light, airy, and elegant, while others are captured with an unnerving and ominous quality. Refuge examines the complex architecture of birds' nests, constructed from elements of the natural world along with debris discarded by humans such as string, plastic and dryer lint.  The nests are intricate structures, unique in shape and form.  This study of birds' nests exhibits an interesting and perhaps complicated relationship between humans and nature.  As we make more debris and waste, we pollute the environment, but in turn these nests are made of things we see as trash and they become safe havens for this part of the animal kingdom.   Richard Barnes graduated from the University of California at Berkley with a BA in Fine Arts. He went on to work as the photographer for the joint Yale/University of Pennsylvania excavations at Abydos, Egypt.  His resume includes solo exhibitions at the Museum of Photographic Arts in San Diego, the Carnegie Museum of Art in Pittsburgh, the Carpenter Center at Harvard, Cranbrook Academy of Art Museum and the University of Michigan Art Museum.  His work is included in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Philadelphia Museum of Modern Art, and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.  Barnes received the Rome Prize in 2005/2006, and the Alfred Eisenstadt Award in Photography and the Sidman Fellowship for the Arts in 2009. Murmur & Refuge will remain on view through February 23rd.  Foley Gallery is openWednesday - Sunday, 12 - 6pm.  To request images; please contact the gallery at 212.244.9081or info@foleygallery.com.   #fineartmagazine

The Contemporary Austin Announces Finalists for Laguna Gloria Master Site Plan Landscape Architectural Services

The Contemporary Austin Announces Finalists for Laguna Gloria Master Site Plan Landscape Architectural Services      (January 12, 2014, Austin, TX) - Louis Grachos, Ernest and Sarah Butler Executive Director of The Contemporary Austin, announces three internationally renowned landscape architecture firms as finalists to create a Master Site Plan for Laguna Gloria, Austin's picturesque historic treasure. This process will allow the institution to further its mission as a dynamic contemporary arts destination integrated into a beautiful natural setting. The three finalists are: Andrea Cochran Landscape Architecture (San Francisco, CA); Reed Hilderbrand Landscape Architecture (Boston, MA); and SNØHETTA (New York, NY, and Oslo, Norway).   Grachos states, "We are delighted to report that The Contemporary Austin received almost two dozen strong submissions from across the globe. All innovators and leaders in their field, the finalists are exceptional and talented firms who have embraced the exciting opportunity to create a Master Site Plan for Laguna Gloria. The legacy of Laguna Gloria and the Driscoll Villa is the cornerstone of our museum's future and we feel strongly that it deserves the best possible vision to ensure it will become a true art and nature destination for our community and our cultural and naturalist visitors. Coupled with the right vision, proper stewardship, and a dynamic art program, Laguna Gloria will become a spotlight as a national art destination."    Frederick R. Steiner, Dean of the School of Architecture at the University of Texas at Austin, led a committee that sent out a Request for Qualifications in May 2013. The finalists traveled to Austin in October 2013 to present their proposals, with each firm provided with an honorarium to enhance their Master Site Plan demonstrations. Subsequently, the selection committee will travel to each of the three firms to visit their studios and local examples of their work, concluding at the end of January 2014. The committee will reconvene in mid-February to determine the finalist who will take the lead in bringing Laguna Gloria into its full potential, with a formal announcement to come in early spring 2014. Dean Steiner adds, "These three firms are not only leading innovators in urban and landscape design, but also have rich experience working with artists and arts communities. They all have impressive records of significant design and planning work." The main stipulation in the Request for Qualifications was for the selected firm to develop a comprehensive Master Site Plan that fully incorporates the twelve acres of Laguna Gloria while laying the groundwork for the Betty and Edward Marcus Sculpture Park and respecting the existing historic 1916 Italianate Driscoll Villa, the fifty-year-old Art School, and the vibrant ecology of the site.   In early 2013, the museum commissioned Jonathan Ogren of Siglo Group to conduct a thorough environmental assessment of the Laguna Gloria grounds, including detailed site analyses of the property's natural and cultural history, descriptions of special qualities and features, and conservation and management guidelines for improving and preserving this very special location on the shores of Lake Austin. As the design process takes shape, the Austin community will learn how the museum is committed to building upon this Conservation Management Initiative for the long-term stewardship of Laguna Gloria, so that the landscape will become more resilient, diverse, and welcoming for art and nature lovers alike. Emphasizing that The Contemporary Austin is one institution with two distinct and evolving locations encompassing the urban-based Jones Center and a nature-focused outdoor experience at Laguna Gloria, the continuing investment in these sites is a perfect complement to the museum's ambitious exhibition, education, and community engagement programs. ABOUT ANDREA COCHRAN LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE (San Francisco, CA) - www.acochran.com The work of Andrea Cochran Landscape Architecture sculpts and navigates space through a seamless integration of landscape, art, and architecture. The studio's work draws boundaries with a controlled palette of materials, creating permeable edges that blur the line between the natural and built environment. Spare geometry applied to vibrant plant life results in sharp compositional order. This exercise in restraint heightens a sense of the elements - texture, light, and movement. ABOUT REED HILDERBRAND LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE (Boston, MA) - www.reedhilderbrand.com Reed Hilderbrand is founded on the belief that the designed landscape is among the most potent and durable instruments in cultural expression. Striving for clarity of purposes in all aspects of design, Reed Hilderbrand collaborates with other artists and professionals to help institutions, public stewards, and individuals articulate ideas through landscape. The studio works at the vital intersection of nature and culture - integrating responsible care for the land with the ordinary and extraordinary needs of modern life. ABOUT SNØHETTA  (New York, NY, and Oslo, Norway) - www.snøhetta.com SNØHETTA began 25 years ago as a transdisciplinary architecture and landscape workshop and has remained true to this pioneering manner of working since its inception. Today, SNØHETTA has grown to become an internationally renowned practice that also includes interiors and brand design. With studios in Oslo, Norway, and New York City, SNØHETTA currently employs 130 people from 20 countries and is among the largest merged landscape and architecture workshops in the world. ABOUT THE CONTEMPORARY AUSTIN www.thecontemporaryaustin.org The Contemporary Austin's mission is focused on bringing nationally and internationally recognized artists to Austin to create new work that will inspire a greater understanding and appreciation for contemporary art. Commissioning artists to create site-responsive work engages the community, provides direct access to artists and the creative process, and makes our organization a hub of creativity and inspiration. Through our innovative exhibitions and educational and public programs, The Contemporary enlivens and inspires Austin's diverse communities.   For additional information and to request media images, please contact press@thecontemporaryaustin.org.   # # # Contact: Libby Tilley ltilley@thecontemporaryaustin.org 512 453 5312 x 119  #fineartmagazine

Galleria d'Arte Maggiore

ITALIAN EARTH Paladino, Leoncillo, Chia, Matta   from 18 January 2014   6.00 pm The exhibition that inaugurates the new year atGalleria d'Arte Maggiore in Bologna reveals the original concept of Franco and Roberta Calarota to explore in a diverse but organized way the theme of “Earth”. This apparently simple word, “Earth”, assumes an almost magical dimension, within a dense web of references made up of geographical considerations (being obvious the “Italian”one) which overlay more complex reflections on how the tangible body of art may express itself in complete independence of the support used.  We wait for you!! #fineartmagazine
