Looks like an interesting visit. Mary Sibande at Columbia University’s Leroy Neiman Gallery April 17th -May1 2019

Mary Sibande at
Columbia University’s
Leroy Neiman Gallery

The first solo exhibition in New York of South African contemporary artist Mary Sibande will open at the Leroy Neiman Gallery at Columbia University on April 17, 2019 and be on view through May 1, 2019.

In Sibande’s installations, photographs and sculptures, she explores the intersection of identity, history and memory in South Africa. For her exhibition at the Neiman Gallery, the artist presents six works from two series, Long Live the Dead Queen (2007–2011) and The Purple Shall Govern (2013–present). Included in the show will be images—both photographs and a life-size sculpture—of Sophie, one of Sibande’s best-known works. An alter-ego figure for the artist, Sophie is a domestic worker like Sibande’s mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. The sculpture is made of fiberglass and a silicone cast of Sibande’s body.

“Sophie is the embodiment of the maid,” said Sibande. “Through her, I am giving voice to the countless South African domestic workers.”

Opening soon after the groundbreaking exhibition Posing Modernity: The Black Model from Manet and Matisse to Today closed at Columbia’s Wallach Gallery in February, Mary Sibande continues Columbia’s commitment to showcasing art that is compelling and relevant, in particular, artwork that engages women of color.

Sibande is the 2018-2019 Virginia C. Gildersleeve Professor at Barnard College, where she will be in residence during the exhibition. She was born in Barberton, South Africa in 1982, and lives and works in Johannesburg. She earned an honors degree from the University of Johannesburg in 2007 and a fine arts degree from the Witwatersrand Technical College in Johannesburg in 2004.

Notable awards include the 2017 Smithsonian National Museum of African Arts Award and the Johannesburg Alumni Dignitas Award in 2014. Sibande has exhibited her work extensively, including in Made Visible, Contemporary South African Fashion and Identity now on view at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts through May 12, 2019; Like Life: Sculpture, Color and the Body at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in 2018; South Africa: The Art of a Nation at the British Museum in London in 2016; and Desire, Narratives in Contemporary South African Art at the 54^th Venice Biennale, as part of the South African Pavilion in 2011.

Sibande’s work is in prominent public and private collections, including the Smithsonian Museum of African Art in Washington DC, the Museum of Contemporary Photography in Chicago and the Toledo Museum of Art in Toledo, Ohio.

Catch the Warhol Woman exhibition at the Levy Gorvy Gallery, BYC April 25-June15

PRESS RELEASE  WARHOL WOMEN April 25 - June 15, 2019 Lévy Gorvy 909 Madison Avenue, New York City Opening Reception: Wednesday April 24, 6-8PM New York—Beginning April 25, 2019, Lévy Gorvy will present Warhol Women, an exhibition devoted exclusively to Andy Warhol’s portraits of women from the early 1960s through the 1980s. On view through June 15 at Lévy Gorvy’s landmark building on Madison Avenue, the selection of paintings, covering the full scope of Warhol’s career, invites the viewer to ponder the artist’s complex and often contradictory relationship to myths and ideals of femininity, beauty, and power. Whether intimate or monumental in scale, each canvas embodies the ambiguities that animate Warhol’s oeuvre. Made using his signature silkscreen process, they seem at first glance to submit to impersonal iteration—the machine-like detachment of the Factory production line. Yet, upon sustained viewing, they convey something indelible about their sitters: an aura of intimacy that by turns intrigues and unsettles. Forever undecidable, these portraits offer up both the glittering surface and the raw humanity of Warhol’s art, which pulses with the evidence of his halftone silkscreen process and, in works of his later years, fluid strokes of synthetic paint. Through paintings riotous and defiant, vulnerable and demure, Warhol Women sheds fresh light on both the artist’s oeuvre and our present moment, wherein questions of female empowerment and the construction of identity through images are as urgent as ever. The exhibition opens with a sweeping wall of portraits of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis from the early 1960s. Capturing Jackie immediately before and after her husband’s assassination, this grouping weaves a cinematic narrative of supreme glamour and sudden tragedy, drawing the viewer into the public spectacle of her private grief. These monochromatic images of Jackie in mourning are shown in contrast to Red Jackie (1964), in which Warhol immortalizes the First Lady in a classic portrait of sumptuous reds. Nearby, another one of Warhol’s objects of devotion from the 1960s, Marilyn Monroe, appears atop luscious stretches of mint, licorice, and azure. Frontal and closely cropped,Licorice Marilyn (1962) and Mint Marilyn (Turquoise Marilyn), (1962), elicit adoration and desire, resembling religious icons for an image-saturated age. Also on view, Triple Mona Lisa (1963) harkens back to the history of portraiture, reproducing again one of the modern era’s most reproduced paintings through successive yet subtly different impressions of ink. Magnetic and inscrutable, Mona Lisa testifies to the captivating inaccessibility of female beauty, which often defies the viewer’s attempt to possess it. The second floor turns to Warhol’s earliest portraits. In a key 1963 canvas, prominent art collector and socialite Ethel Scull strikes a series of poses, from quizzical to buoyant, that convey an infectious vitality. The strips of images from a photo booth—the ultimate automation tool for portraiture in its day—speak to the allure of self-made celebrity to which both Scull and Warhol aspired. Other paintings feature figures who discovered power in the margins, as in the case of the striking mid-1970s example from Warhol’sLadies and Gentleman series, which depicted black and Hispanic drag queens scouted in the streets and bars of New York. Towering over the viewer, Wilhelmina Ross finds an exuberant freedom in the fluidity of gender identity. Here, as in many other works on view, Warhol’s high-key colors at once accent and conceal, promising closeness while holding the sitter forever at a distance. In the 1970s and ‘80s, Warhol increasingly staked his reputation upon celebrity portraiture, generating scores of paintings of women from popular movies, music, fashion, politics, and high society in a standardized 40-inch-square format. The final floor ofWarhol Women spotlights these works, which the artist based upon images taken with a Polaroid Big Shot camera, in an edge-to-edge, wraparound display. In feverish hues, Warhol drew out the qualities that entertainers like Dolly Parton and Liza Minnelli made famous in their splashy acts on stage and on screen. But he was equally fascinated by pioneering women who wielded power in the international arena (paintings of Israeli prime minister Golda Meir and the writer and arts patron Gertrude Stein are among the examples on view), as well as those outside of the limelight. A 1974 portrait of his then-deceased mother, Julia Warhola, offers a fleeting glimpse into Warhol’s personal life, reflecting on the tenuous distinction between private self and public persona that his paintings of women similarly explore. Warhol Women includes loans from important institutions, including the Brant Foundation, New York and Connecticut, and the Froehlich Collection, Stuttgart, Germany. Alongside Warhol’s paintings, a selection of his Screen Tests—short, silent, black-and-white films that translate portraiture from canvas to celluloid—will illuminate yet another aspect of how Warhol looked at, considered, and depicted women. Projected in a room coated in aluminum foil, the installation will pay homage to the enveloping silver environment of the original Factory where these films were shot. Normally reserved for movie actors, the Hollywood screen test was co-opted by Warhol as a vehicle for making every subject a star, revealing their true identity by letting his camera roll without filtering or directing his subject. Warhol Women will be on view at the gallery from April 25 through June 15, Tuesday through Saturday, from 10Am until 6PM.

STUNNING NEW PAINTINGS AND PHOTOGRAPHY EXPLORE IDEAS OF TRANSFORMATION We are pleased to present an exhibition of new abstract paintings and photography by Ricardo Mazal, one of Mexico’s most prominent contemporary artists. While Mazal’s practice has always been rooted in ideas of transformation, particularly with his long-running explorations into sacred burial rituals of diverse cultures, this new series reveals a more personal narrative, as the artist taps into transitions in his own life for inspiration. These remarkable canvases, awash in rich, earthy hues, build on Mazal’s ongoing engagement with spiritual themes while demonstrating his increasingly abstract approach.   ABOUT THE ARTIST   Ricardo Mazal was born in Mexico City in 1950. Since 2000, he has had fourteen individual museum exhibitions in Mexico and the United States, including five retrospectives of his work at the Museo de Arte Contemporaneo de Monterrey (2000), the Museo de Arte Moderno de la Ciudad de México (2006), the Museo de Arte de Querétaro (2009), the Museo de Arte Abstracto Manuel Felguerez (2010) and the Center for Contemporary Arts Santa Fe, as well as thematic exhibitions in the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art (2006), the Museo Nacional de Antropología (2004 -2005) and the Centro Cultural Estación Indianilla, among others. In 2015 Mazal’s work was included in Frontiers Reimagined, a Collateral Event of the 56th Venice Biennale and in 2018, there was a major retrospective of his work held at the Center For Contemporary Arts, Santa Fe, New Mexico.
