MCA Chicago, Presents Tim Etchells and Shakespeare Feb. 19-27

TIM ETCHELLS / FORCED ENTERTAINMENT THE NOTEBOOK | FEBRUARY 18-19 SPEAK BITTERNESS | FEBRUARY 20 (IN)COMPLETE WORKS: TABLE TOP SHAKESPEARE | FEBRUARY 25-27

Over the course of two weeks, MCA Stage presents three distinct projects by the experimental British theater group Forced Entertainment, led by director and writer Tim Etchells. Forced Entertainment's works are often concerned with the mechanics of the live event -- disrupting conventions and audience expectations about contemporary theater. They are performing The Notebook, Speak Bitterness, and (In)Complete Works: Table Top Shakespeare, copresented with the Chicago Shakespeare Theater as part of the city-wide Shakespeare 400 festival.   The first of the three projects is The Notebook, based on the award-winning novel by Hungarian writer Ágota Kristóf and set during WWII. Kristóf created twin narrators -- unnamed boys who describe their troubled lives in the countryside as the war drags to its conclusion and the new reality of Hungary under the Soviet Union takes hold -- to have a style that is poised between a kids' picture book and hard-boiled detective fiction. The children are social outsiders who survive and understand the world by harsh codes. As the war deepens, the brothers are slowly revealed as struggling moralists, trying to live by consistent principles while Central Europe is crumbling into cruelty and opportunism. The two actors who perform The Notebook speak every word in sync with one another, even matching their breaths. This marks the first time that Forced Entertainment has used an existing text, a departure from devising and writing their own work.   The second of the three projects is Speak Bitterness, which is performed over a period of six hours and shows a group of penitents whose task is to confess to everything. They are by turns cowed, breezy, anguished, reluctant, jovial, and determined. In a brightly lit space, a group of performers behind a long table take turns competing to confess the most horrific, amusing, or convincing things-from crimes as serious as forgery, murder, and genocide to nasty indiscretions, such as reading others' diaries and not taking the dog for a walk. Somewhere between a catalogue of human infamy and a strange and comical show-trial, this exhaustive work draws on the culture of confession in society at large. The audience is free to arrive, leave, and return at any point.   The third and final project is Forced Entertainment's newest work, and its Chicago debut coincides with Shakespeare 400, the largest global celebration of Shakespeare's legacy, taking place throughout Chicago in 2016. (In) Complete Works: Table Top Shakespearefeatures a selection of four different one-hour Shakespeare plays each night for three nights. These plays are selected from their marathon Complete Works project, where condensed versions of Shakespeare plays are performed on a table top using a collection of ordinary everyday objects as characters.   In this program, specially created for the MCA, members of Forced Entertainment perform a selection of plays to explore the dynamic force of storytelling through the use of language alone, in simple and distinctive retellings of some of the Bard's most famous works. Each night's performance of (In) Complete Works: Table Top Shakespeare presents a different group of four plays: Feb 25: Timon of Athens, Measure for Measure, Henry V, Much Ado About Nothing Feb 26: The Merchant of Venice, As You Like It, Macbeth, The Winter's Tale Feb 27: Loves Labours Lost, Antony and Cleopatra, All's Well That Ends Well, The Tempest For over 30 years, Forced Entertainment has made formative works that search for identity in a fractured, uncertain world. Based in Sheffield, England, and acclaimed internationally as one of the most important devised theater companies in the world, Forced Entertainment is a group of six artists who make theater and performance works, as well as installations, site-specific pieces, books, web projects, and more. Their artistic director, Tim Etchells, writes for and with the performance collective, and for his own print and online projects, and makes text-driven visual art. The core members and performers of the ensemble are Robin Arthus, Time Etchells, Richard Lowdon, Claire Marshall, Cathy Naden, and Terry O'Connor.  RELATED PROGRAM MCA Talk: Forced Entertainment February 18, immediately following the performance Audience members are invited to stay after the performance for a moderated conversation with the members of Forced Entertainment.   TICKET INFORMATION The Notebook takes place February 18-19 at 7:30 pm, with a running time of two hours, no intermission. This performance contains mature content, and is recommended for ages 16+. Speak Bitterness takes place February 20 at 4 pm, with a running time of six hours. (In)Complete Works: Table Top Shakespeare takes place February 25-27 at 7:30 pm, with a running time of four hours.   Tickets are $30 for each performance and available at the MCA Box Office at 312.397.4010 orwww.mcachicago.org.  #fineartmagazine

PRIVATE MUSEUMS, A HEART OF THE ART WORLD?

p.14 Interview: Frank Stella, in the heart of Manhattan On the occasion of his exhibition at the Whitney Museum, Frank Stella welcomed us into his studio in the West Village, the district where he has lived since 1967. In this space that also serves as his study and library, where he keeps a few works and presents his models, the artist born in 1936 retraces the golden age of American painting and his ties with Europe.

p.21 Focus: Sotheby's Q4 This Friday, 22nd of January, Sotheby’s revealed its estimate earnings for the last quarter of 2015. Along with disappointing numbers, the auction house also announced an increase in the already existing buyback program, leaving investors with a positive overall impression despite the loss. The exact numbers will be released in the last week of February. The company has been subject to many changes since activist hedge fund manager Dan Loeb claimed control of the board in early 2014. The latest developments included the resignation of CFO Patrick McClymont and the acquisition of Art Agency Partners, presided by Amy Cappellazzo and Allan Schwartzman, in an effort to improve the private sales department.

p.24 Data: Carsten Höller Carsten Höller was born on 6 December 1961 in Brussels, to German parents. Today, he lives and works in Stockholm (Sweden).

p.32 Focus: Contemporary art and historic places On 18 January 2016, Art Media Agency’s first dîner-débat of 2016 was held at the Club de la Chasse et de la Nature (Paris). Jean d’Haussonville, managing director of the Domaine National de Chambord since 2010, was invited to speak on the theme: “Contemporary art in historic establishments: a strategy of openness or a concession to time?”

Markowicz Fine Art : Carol Feuerman, Miami Jan14-Feb, 29th,

Feuerman's The Message in painted bronze, photograph © 2015 Sean O'Connell
		MIAMI, FL – January 14, 2016 – Markowicz Fine Art, from the Miami Design District, is pleased to announce the gallery will be exhibiting world-renowned sculptor Carole A. Feuerman’s hyperrealistic sculptures starting January 24th, 2016, through February 29th, 2016. Markowicz Fine Art will be one of only two galleries in the United States to hold a permanent collection of sculptures in various techniques by Feuerman. To celebrate the new long-term partnership, Markowicz Fine Art will host a private media and collectors only preview party of Feuerman’s new collection – including miniature versions of her iconic water sculptures – on Saturday, January 23rd, 2016, from 7-9 p.m. at the gallery in the Miami Design District. Feuerman will meet-and-greet attendees, and sign copies of her new book “Swimmers” and have a silk screen print made especially for the event. Feuerman held a splashing pop-up exhibition with more than 10 pieces in Miami during Art Basel 2015 at the National Hotel in Miami Beach, including “The Golden Mean,” a 16-foot male diver statue representing the struggles to achieve perfect balance; and her iconic “Survival of Serena.” “The Golden Mean” is still on display at the hotel through November 2016. Known for her monumental sculptures of the human form, Feuerman is the only figurative artist to hyper-realistically paint bronze for use in outdoor public art. Actively sculpting and exhibiting since the late 70’s, Feuerman is called the “Doyenne of Hyperrealism.” She is also the originator of the “painting with fire” technique, in which she pours, splatters and splashes six or more different molten metals to create unique art. Through her work, Feuerman explores the three-dimensional world of figurative sculpture. Her interest in realism is indicative of her desire to sculpt the human body; forging historical links with the past while revealing her compelling vision for the future.  Included in numerous notable biennales and public collections, Feuerman continues to push the boundaries of sculpture. Her private collectors include the Emperor of Japan, Mr. William and Hillary Clinton, Norman Brahman, the Caldic Collection, Mark Parker, William Mack, Ariella Wertheimer, Robert Hurst, and Malcolm Forbes. In 2011, the Carole A. Feuerman Sculpture Foundation was formed in order to generate excitement and passion for the arts and to inspire and reward deserving artists with exhibition opportunities and internships for college credit and grants. Feuerman’s solo exhibitions can be seen in Italy, Germany and China, and has several national public collections from New York to California. Several of her sculptures in bronze are owned and permanently installed in public, including “The Golden Mean,” which stands in Riverfront Green Park overlooking the Hudson River in Peekskill, New York, and “The Double Diver,” in Sunnyvale, California.  Sculptures in various techniques by Feuerman have been acquired for the permanent collections of nineteen American art museums. Feuerman’s exclusive collection in Miami is represented by Markowicz Fine Art. To RSVP to the media and collector preview, please email rcastro@thedanaagency.com.  About Markowicz Fine Art The Markowicz Fine Art gallery offers an ever-changing collection of artworks. Internationally renowned artists whose works are on display include Andy Warhol, Damien Hirst, Tom Wesselmann, and Fernando Botero. The gallery is located in the heart of the Miami Design District and offers a wide variety of artists with exceptional creative talent: from the hyperrealistic sculptures of Carole Feuerman, the bildoreliefos of Alain Godon, and the colorful sculptures of  Richard Orlinski, to the digital art of Phil Macquet and street art of Bambi Artist ''The Female Banksy.” For more information, please visit www.markowiczfineart.com. #fineartmagazine

Pink Floyd fans: Syd Barrett offical web site

	Syd Barrett Official Website Launch 6 January 2016
Wednesday 6th January marks what would have been the 70th birthday of Syd Barrett, founder member of the Pink Floyd and one of the most influential musicians in British pop history.  To mark the occasion, Syd Barrett’s new official website will be launched at 12 noon on Wednesday (GMT). Celebrating his unique life and career, both of which continue to inspire and enthral, it is a unique resource that offers an unrivalled insight into this enigmatic musician. sydbarrett.com The website has been created by those who knew him best - his family and friends. The clean, modern design offers an intimate experience for Syd’s fans, incorporating his favourite colour indigo and offering previously unseen, restored family photographs. Going forward, regular updates will reveal even more exclusive material, photographs and information. Featured songs will receive detailed analysis alongside reviews, essays and images from a range of celebrity guest writers. Syd’s nephew Ian Barrett says “2016 promises to be an exciting year for Syd Barrett’s fans and we hope that in keeping with my uncle’s talents, this online resource will act as a springboard, inspiring a new generation of artists - both musical and visual.” Social Links: https://www.facebook.com/Syd.Barrett/?fref=ts https://wakelet.com/@SydBarrett Notes: Syd Barrett was with the Pink Floyd for just three years (1965 to1968), yet when the band released their greatest hits album in 2001 he had written over a fifth of the tracks. Born Roger Keith Barrett in 1946 in Cambridge, Syd obtained his nickname from regulars at a local jazz club who christened him after an old drummer from the area. At the age of seventeen Barrett left Cambridge to study at London’s Camberwell Art School where he was reunited with his old friend Roger Waters. He joined Roger’s band the Pink Floyd and quickly became their main songwriter. The band was named after two Georgia blues men Pink Anderson and Floyd Council. Their experiments with feedback and electronic sound quickly made them the hippest band among London’s early psychedelic set. Although still a prolific songwriter, Syd’s experimentation with drugs meant his grasp on reality was slipping away. He didn’t turn up for interviews and started to behave erratically, to the extent that an American tour had to be cut short. In January 1968 the band excused Syd from performing live to enable him to concentrate on songwriting and David Gilmour was asked to take his place. By 1968 the band had parted ways with Syd, leaving him to record and release two solo albums ‘The Madcap Laughs’ and ‘Barrett’ and a single ‘Octopus’. 1970 saw Syd retreat to his mothers house in Cambridge where he formed The Stars with some local musicians though his involvement was shortlived. The following years saw him moving between Cambridge and London, where he stayed on friends’ floors. In 1978, having tired of London, he walked back to Cambridge, where he lived reclusively until his death on 7th July 2006, aged sixty.
