La De Primi Fine Art di Lugano è lieta di annunciare la mostra Textile. Crippa, Dorazio, Melotti, Munari, Ponti, Sottsass.

Nel pieno del moto di ricostruzione che marca gli spiriti dell’Italia del Dopoguerra, l’industria tessile vive un forte rilancio e decide di far capo al fervente mondo artistico. Nascono così delle interessanti e poco note collaborazioni tra arte e design tessile. In mostra vengono presentati svariati progetti e disegni per la stampa su stoffa, realizzati da rinomati artisti italiani in occasione dei concorsi indetti dalle aziende tessili e presentati al pubblico durante le edizioni IX, X e XI de La Triennale di Milano (1951, 1954, 1957).

De Primi Fine Art in Lugano is pleased to announce its new exhibition Textile. Crippa, Dorazio, Melotti, Munari, Ponti, Sottsass.

In the midst of the reconstruction that marks the Italian post-war, the textile industry experiences a strong re-launch and decides to join forces with the fervent artistic world. This is how some interesting and little-known collaborations between art and textile design are born. The exhibition presents various projects and designs for printing on fabric, made by renowned Italian artists on the occasion of the competitions organized by textile companies and presented to the public during the IX, X and XI editions of La Triennale di Milano (1951, 1954, 1957).

Gallery Itsutsuji is pleased to present the 5th Guillaume Bottazzi's solo show at the gallery from 17 May to 22 June 2019 in Tokyo.

Colours of “Japan, my love” are sober, with cobalt blue and turquoise on beige and white mediums. Ten recent oil paintings on raw linen canvas or fabric, of 146cm x 97cm are shown but also backlit installations on aircraft canvas.

This major Japanese gallery enabled Guillaume Bottazzi to establish his style through several commissions for artworks. The Gallery Itsutsuji has introduced movements such as the Supports / Surfaces group, and artists such as Claude Viallat, Louis Cane, Daniel Dezeuze, Jean-Pierre Pincemin, and other as Pierre Buraglio, François Rouan, Jean-Michel Meurice, Simon Hantaï and Pierre Soulages.

In 2004, Guillaume Bottazzi was artist in residence in Japan and he has spent a great deal of time in the Land of the Rising Sun. In 2010, at the initiative of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, the Tokyo Metropolitan Foundation of History and Culture, the Tokyo National Art Center, the Suntory Museum of Art, Tokyo Midtown, the Mori Building company and the Mori Art Museum, Guillaume Bottazzi created an abstract artwork 3m high and 33m wide in the center of Tokyo. In 2011 the Miyanomori International Museum of Art in Japan commissioned him to create the largest painting in the country. An exhibition of Guillaume Bottazzi ’abstract paintings was organized at the same time. Admissions fees have been donated for the reconstruction of areas affected by the earthquake and tsunami.In 2012, selected by the Mori Art Museum, the Mori Building company commissioned artworks from French artist Guillaume Bottazzi. They have been incorporated in the new Ark Hills Sengokuyama high-rise building in the heart of the rejuvenated Toranomon district in Tokyo.

Madein Gallery, Hon Kong receives mention on the shortlist for Art Basel Hong Kong,

Courtesy of the West Kowloon Cultural District Authority

On Mar. 29th at Art Basel Hong Kong, M+ announced the six artists shortlisted for the inaugural Sigg Prize, which recognises outstanding artistic practice in the Greater China region. The six nominated artists are: Hu Xiaoyuan, Liang Shuo, Lin Yilin, Shen Xin, Tao Hui, and Samson Young.

Shen Xin, Provocation of the Nightingale, 2017, four-channel video installation, 23’, 10’34”, 20’39”, 20’39”

Shen Xin’s major work Provocation of the Nightingale in 2017 explores the artist’s acute observation of collective memory and personal relationships through a multi-screen video installation. At its heart, the work is a narrative focused on systems of belief and power, with a kaleidoscope-like effect of shifting perspectives taken from filmed documentary portraits, recorded performances and interviews.

SHEN XIN SHORTLISTED FOR BMW ART JOURNEY AWARDS, DISCOVERIES SECTOR, ART BASEL HONG KONG

During this year’s Art Basel in Hong Kong, the joint initiative of Art Basel and BMW to recognize and support emerging artists worldwide was continued with the announcement of the shortlist for the next BMW Art Journey. Nominated artists are Clarissa Tossin (born 1973, lives and works in Los Angeles), Lu Yang (born 1984, based in Shanghai) and Shen Xin (1990, lives and works in London).

Shen Xin Solo Project "Commerce des Esprits", Art Basel Hong Kong, MadeIn Gallery Booth View

Commerce des Esprits is a four channel video installation presenting a scripted monologue through animation and text. Based on the research of works by French sinologists on Zhuangzi (370 BC-287 BC), Shen Xin translates the perspectives and productivities of comparative philosophy into an event which narrates an unconscious state. Two animation channels traces human bodies through motion capture, while the two text channels reveal in English and French the commerce of language, and its potential for new ways of producing meaning. The work is supported by New Century Art Foundation, Beijing.

Catch The Whitney Museum announces 300 recent acquisitions. Catch the Biannual May 17-September 22.

WHITNEY MUSEUM ANNOUNCES 300 RECENT ACQUISITIONS AND 60 ARTISTS NEW TO THE COLLECTION, INCLUDING NINA CHANEL ABNEY, MERIEM BENNANI, ED CLARK, BARBARA HAMMER, CHANNA HORWITZ, SIMONE LEIGH, WILLA NASATIR, MARY WEATHERFORD, AND OTHERS

NEW YORK, April 9, 2019—The Whitney Museum of American Art announced today that it has acquired 300 works of art in the last six months. As a result of these acquisitions, 60 new artists and collectives have entered the collection.

Several of the acquisitions were first presented in the Whitney's ongoing series of exhibitions focused on emerging artists, including Carolina Caycedo and Lena Henke (Between the Waters, 2018), Christine Sun Kim (Christine Sun Kim: Too Much Future, 2018), Guadalupe Maravilla, Ronny Quevedo, and Clarissa Tossin (Pacha, Llaqta, Wasichay: Indigenous Space, Modern Architecture, New Art, 2018), and Willa Nasatir (Willa Nasatir, 2017).

In addition, the Whitney deepened its commitment to artists already represented in the collection by adding works by Diane Arbus, Richard Avedon, Carol Bove, Bruce Conner, John Currin, Roe Ethridge, Nan Goldin, David Hammons, Hock E Aye Vi Edgar Heap of Birds, Jasper Johns, Mark Rothko, Wu Tsang, David Wojnarowicz, Grant Wood, and others.

“The Whitney’s collection is a living, growing, and dynamic resource that allows us to continually reframe the history of American life and artistic culture. Our new acquisitions permit us to present new art histories, especially when we put those works on the Whitney’s walls so soon after acquiring them. Recent acquisitions such as Emma Amos’s Baby (1966) and Kay WalkingStick’s April Contemplating May (1972) are now displayed in Spilling Over: Painting Color in the 1960s, and an important 1959 painting by Ed Clark will reenergize our understanding of mid-century painting when it hangs this summer as part of a new collection display,” noted David Breslin, DeMartini Family Curator and Director of the Collection.

Scott Rothkopf, Senior Deputy Director and Nancy and Steve Crown Family Chief Curator added: “We’re thrilled that many of our recent acquisitions, particularly by artists new to the collection, arose through our reenergized emerging artist program. This continues our historical commitment to acquiring works by contemporary artists directly from our groundbreaking exhibitions and allows us to extend our dialogue with these artists as stewards of their work. We also are delighted that twelve of the artists in the upcoming Whitney Biennial are already in the collection, including Meriem Bennani, Barbara Hammer, Simone Leigh, and Christine Sun Kim, whose works have just entered the collection for the first time.”

The Whitney’s collection includes nearly 25,000 works created by some 3,500 artists during the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. This focus on the contemporary, along with a deep respect for artists’ creative process and vision, has guided the Museum’s collecting ever since its founding in 1930. The collection begins with Ashcan School painting and follows the major movements of the twentieth century in America, with strengths in modernism and Social Realism, Precisionism, Abstract Expressionism, Pop art, Minimalism, Postminimalism, art centered on identity and politics that came to the fore in the 1980s and 1990s, and contemporary work.

ABOUT THE WHITNEY

The Whitney Museum of American Art, founded in 1930 by the artist and philanthropist Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney (1875–1942), houses the foremost collection of American art from the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Mrs. Whitney, an early and ardent supporter of modern American art, nurtured groundbreaking artists at a time when audiences were still largely preoccupied with the Old Masters. From her vision arose the Whitney Museum of American Art, which has been championing the most innovative art of the United States for more than eighty years. The core of the Whitney’s mission is to collect, preserve, interpret, and exhibit American art of our time and serve a wide variety of audiences in celebration of the complexity and diversity of art and culture in the United States. Through this mission and a steadfast commitment to artists themselves, the Whitney has long been a powerful force in support of modern and contemporary art and continues to help define what is innovative and influential in American art today.
