About Fridge Art Fair:

Inspired by founder Eric Ginsburg's desire to give visibility to more worthy artists at key magnet times and locations, Fridge Art Fair (the name is a play on Frieze) was born in 2013 at Lower East Side's historic first gallery, Kazuko Miyamoto's Gallery 128,. The boutique, soft sell, dog-friendly satellite fair once dubbed by Artinfo as "the baby who has refused to obey orders to stand outside the door while the adults confabulate inside," presents annual editions in Miami and New York. https://www.fridgeartfair.com/

Featured artwork of the week:  Sophie Bouvier Ausländer's Avalanche

Avalanche, gouache on waxed map, 32 x 28 cm, 2018

A staggering bang, shaking you to the core, followed by eerie silence. Within seconds the masses are set into motion. With incredible speed and impetuous force. Burying everything under a layer of snow. A spectacle of outstanding beauty and cruelty. Sophie Bouvier Ausländer’s point of departure for her artistic practice is nothing less than our planet, which can be considered as the sculpture par excellence. Her small and large-scale waxed maps from the Avalanche series are covered with paint and then scratched and scribbled into and sometimes re-covered with paint. The “avalanche”, the covering in colour, erases the map’s territories and borders, detaches it from its function and alienates it from the reality of our planet. Bouvier Ausländer then reverses course and starts to dig out the signs from under the cover. She retakes control of the lost ground, searching through the surface and furrowing the crust. She brings to light fragments of the vanished terrain in an attempt to reconstruct an extinguished world. Yet Bouvier Ausländer also brings to light a new vision, a maybe bruised but modified and freshly charged version of the earth - a version that we are currently beginning to experience, one that will accompany us for times to come.

Books Two Lives and a Dream by Marguerite Yourcenar "I am currently rereading An Obscure Man from this collection of stories. It's a lot about being alone. It takes place in the 17th century during a tuberculosis epidemic. Though she never really says it, the main character has contracted tuberculosis, and eventually goes to live on an island, alone. Yourcenar was a grim and minute kind of writer. I was happy to reread it, and seems perfect for now." From the Vault In this series of image shared by the artist, we take a look at some moments from Linda's fifty year career as a photographer and educator. “Having an art practice, you might occasionally glimpse something that is quite marvelous.” If you no longer wish to receive these messages, please reply with the word "unsubscribe" and you will be promptly removed from this mailing list.  ‌  ‌  ‌
