KEN NWADIOGBU |  SCULPTURE |  ATRIUM

JEN LEWIN |  SCULPTURE |  ATRIUM

Interactive artist and engineer Jen Lewin has created a towering 12-foot-tall lighted infinity mirrored bear. Inspired by the dazzling natural phenomena of Polaris (the North Star) and its constellation Ursa Minor, the sculpture’s multi- paneled infinity mirrored body reminds viewers to look up in amazement and wonder. Ursa Minor’s grand scale serves as a glowing landmark for navigation as we maneuver through uncertain times and our current moment of climate crisis.

EXQUISITE MOVING CORPSE

Conceived as a collaboration by Chip Lord, Jack Massing and Sean Miller. In planning The Exquisite Moving Corpse (2022) Lord, Massing, and Miller made decisions to alter the methodology from a drawing strategy and apply it to video. They invited sixty artists to create a one-minute video based on the last frame of the previous minute.

Lord, Massing, and Miller made the first three minutes and then handed it off to an evolving list of artists whom they invited – a jump into the unknown! Some artists produced their one minute of footage within hours whereas others took weeks to complete their minute. The final product is a cohesive sixty minute film.

Open: Tuesday-Saturday, 12:00 pm – 6:00 pm

Visiting Hours: Thursday-Saturday, 12:00 pm – 6:00 pm

(310) 287-2340

 

 

Downtown Los Angeles’ Corey Helford Gallery (CHG) is proud to present their last major exhibition of the year ─ The Last Unicorn 40th Anniversary group show, featuring new works (from over 70 internationally renowned contemporary artists) inspired by the beloved fantasy film, as well as never-before-seen original film production art (including hundreds of meticulously restored frames) and a pop-up shop offering an array of exclusive merch. 

 

Opening on Saturday, December 17th and presented in partnership with Sweet Streets, The Last Unicorn 40th Anniversary group show will reunite fans, old and new, and provide a window into the making of the animated classic, as the exhibition marks the first time in history the film’s original artwork will be on display.

 

All under the same roof, attendees will get a chance to experience a "behind-the-scenes" look at the film, shop the exclusive 40th anniversary capsule collection, and enjoy new works from a generation of artists inspired by the film’s unique artistry. The show is part of a two-year global celebration in honor of the film’s 40th anniversary and is sponsored by the international animated film society ASIFA-Hollywood, a non-profit dedicated to cultivating and promoting the art, craft, and profession of animation. 

 

Forty years ago, acclaimed author and screenwriter Peter S. Beagle's novel, The Last Unicorn, was released as an animated movie. Originally produced by Rankin/Bass and animated by Topcraft studios, the film tells the story of an immortal unicorn, named Amalthea, who learns that she is the last of her kind. Amalthea’s quest to find others like herself takes us on a journey about love, honesty, pain, and fear. The story is a timeless classic rooted in real-life challenges and demands. Set in a stunning animated world with a loveable cast of characters who do not always get what they want, The Last Unicorn lasts forever. 

 

The milestone celebration kicked off in July with the film’s first screening ever at Los Angeles’ David Geffen Theater at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures. The special event (watch recap here) also featured a post-screening discussion between Beagle and film producer Michael Chase Walker, plus Sweet Streets debuted an exclusive capsule collection at the Academy Museum Store featuring t-shirts, jewelry, skate decks, movie posters, pins, and collaborations from well-known Los Angeles pop culture designer and CHG artist ONCH.

Says show curator and Sweet Streets founder Caro Buermann, “It’s been 40 years since the movie came out and the unicorn’s journey still to this day captures the hearts and minds of fans all over the world. It’s a story that’s still very relevant for me and resonates with so many people because the world in which the unicorn inhabits isn’t this pure, innocent fantasy… her world is very much a messy one, like our own, and I think a lot of people can take away from that in these uncertain times.”

 

Open to the public and free of charge, The Last Unicorn 40th Anniversary group showopens Saturday, December 17th from 7:00 pm – 11:00 pm in the Main Gallery, alongside The Last Unicorn 40th Anniversary Pop-up Shop in Gallery 2 and The Original Film Production Art of The Last Unicorn in Gallery 3.

Artists For Peace & The Environment

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and Ron English at RiverKeeper Alliance picnic in 2000. Both had images on view along with other works from the Artists For Peace and the Environment Woodstock ’99 collection.
 

By JAMIE ELLIN FORBES, Publisher Fine Art Magazine

 “Artists for Peace and the Environment” was originally exhibited in the summer of ’99 in Rome, NY at the 30th anniversary of the Woodstock Music and Art Festival, “An Aquarian Exposition.” Artists were invited to participate and with the support and agreement of Michael Lang (Woodstock Ventures) and Robert Kennedy Jr., (Riverkeeper Alliance). While curating the collection, I entitled the exhibit “Artists for Peace and the Environment.” Calls for peace were not significant that year, peace accords had been signed for Bosnia. The luster of environmental causes was waning somewhat as the glamor of the rally to save the Amazon rain forest had died out. The Columbine High School massacre lent a picture of an emerging profile of youth in America. Youth and violence. Artists for Peace and the Environment got lost in the shuffle of the disorder that surrounded this, third Woodstock event.
Still, with the help and support of many, this collection of nearly 100 large paintings on 4’ x 8’ canvases caught the rising tide of warmth, peace, love and rock and roll of the original Woodstock Nation and all of the hallmark signature athems that were never associated with the ’99 theme — “Not  Your Parents Woodstock.”
 

Most folks having anything to do with that event distanced themselves right away from the festivals’ violence. Some people—like me—hung on to the concept of Love, Peace and Rock and Roll. Peace and the Environment never seemed like a bad idea which can go out of style. It was timeless.
Having committed myself to these works, I was able to show the images in several national and international events from ’99 -2005. Dieter Schneider of Nuremberg, Germany was a staunch supporter of the Woodstock Nation and hosted the canvases into Berlin, Nuremberg and Munich through 2006. In NY, we held a big party on the Intrepid Museum with the aid of Mary Asta. The canvases were exhibited at the Nassau Museum in Roslyn Harbor with Graham Nash flying in to sing a few tunes. Bobby Kennedy Jr. as a supporter and participating artist displayed selected works  at River Keeper events.  Harry  Wahab of the Stendhal Gallery was kind enough to host an event in 2,000 and Victor Forbes and myself exhibited these works at the Blue Poodle Gallery in 2004. I built a small website and the collection can be seen in it’s entirety at www.fineart magazine.com.
So why take a look now at this collection now? Because the theme is more relevant than ever. Michelle Estrick has become an acclaimed  film producer, Ron English, now a well noted politically active and collectable painter; Wavy Gravy, a cultural icon; Tico Torres, drummer of Bon Jovi and serious painter contributed a work, as did Lorraine Bracco of the Sopranos. These are just a fraction of the artists involved. Peace and the environment are more important than ever and the time has come for these works to stand alone as a viable and important artistic  statement related to today’s urgent cries for social change. There are no more pressing issues than peace and the environment. The war we wage as the US since 2001 has bankrupted our system. The environmental changes we see are real and we are on the precipice of not being able to stop a climatic shift which will make war seem remote as a problem.
Why is peace important as a principle? It matters little if there is a war taking place in Vietnam, Bosnia, or Iraq. People are slaughtered every day in fighting. Children, civilians, soldiers. Our  loved ones and theirs senselessly die every day. So peace is a good idea, yes?
The Sudan had the largest migration due to drought and war of any refugee nation until it was replaced by the Afghan refugee  migration into Pakistan this last year. War and drought still plague the planet.
Why the environment? It is because  fires burn in the western part of the United States, no longer as a phenomena of the Santa Ana Winds, known within the region as seasonally due in November. Brush fires occur for more than half the year now. The devastation has affected the resilience of the economy of California, which until the  recent fiscal debacle was the fifth largest in the world. California’s main source of irrigation water is expected to go dry this year for most of its growers due to drought, idling at least 60,000 workers and up to 1 million acres of farmland, federal officials and experts said.
Dust turns the sky of Sydney, Australia red, due to the largest dust bowl recorded on our planet. The cause? Prolonged regional drought. The Zoological Society of London and the Global Footprint Network also gave the following statistics: land species have declined by 25%, marine life by 28% and freshwater species by 29%. The rhythm of  our inter-relatedness as a species is the music we follow when we are not hearing sound. Every time one species is eliminated from the tree of life our internal sound diminishes. The musical chord is changed forever. Like a guitar string snapping, a richness is lost. Artists For Peace and the Environment uses necessary to be communicated as image, borrowing from and played out, in the background of the memory Woodstock Nation in the summer of ’99. The ideas are now in the foreground.  The art works called then and now to an end to war and assault on the environment.
Lack of conservation and pollution of our natural resources, land and water are now major general health and population concerns for all communities in all cultures. People go to war for lack of land, water, food and natural resources which sustain life and cultures. Between multiple wars and a continued lack of environmental concern, we are now forever propitiating the cycles of lack.  
The possibility that ideas as images may universally be understood in this collection of art   using iconic message, which travel fasted than the speed of light to make change happen was instituted in ’99. Graffiti artist Anthony Asutang, sculptors Steve Zaluski, and Bob Wade, painter/musicians known and unknown contributed to Artists for Peace and the Environment. All used image to dialogue the importance of the peace, love, rock and roll and Mother Earth. Through these images, they bridge and forge new forms of descriptive metaphor. The artists tackled and addressed the immense magnitude of the issues facing each person today. Peace and the Environment are timesless  canvases, messages form a simple fundamental universal language, as a collection,  for the now famous peace sign, the slogans of the “Woodstock Nation”  used art for 40 years  carry  over the message that “Now—more than ever—Peace  and the Environment go hand in hand."

LONDON – 17 November 2022 – Phillips is proud to partner with The Sovereign Art Foundation (SAF) this December to present the third edition of the The Sovereign Art Foundation Students Prize, London. Established in 2012, The Sovereign Art Foundation (SAF) Students Prize is an annual award designed to celebrate the importance of art in the education system and recognise the quality of artworks produced by secondary school students citywide. As official venue partner of The Sovereign Art Foundation (SAF) Students Prize, Phillips will host the 20 shortlisted artworks in a Finalists’ Exhibition at Phillips London headquarters at 30 Berkeley Square, where it will run alongside Phillips’ New Now auction preview from 1 – 8 December 2022.

 

Tamila Kerimova, Director, Senior Specialist, 20th Century & Contemporary Art, Phillips, said: “Phillips is delighted to partner with The Sovereign Art Foundation and honoured to host the London Students Prize Finalists’ exhibition for the third year in a row. The exhibition will run alongside our New Now auction which will feature a broad spectrum of cutting-edge contemporary works from both blue chip and emerging artists alike. The aim of our ongoing partnership with The Sovereign Art Foundation is to celebrate the importance of art in education and to support them in their endeavours to champion young artists. At Phillips, our goal is to discover and showcase exceptional works of art and part of that is recognising the tremendous significance and role we all must play in encouraging and supporting the next generation of artists as much as possible. As we saw in the exhibition last year, the students entering the competition produce the most extraordinary works of art, and their talents should be recognised and celebrated so they feel confident to continue to nurture their creativity. We look forward to welcoming visitors to view the Students Prize Finalists’ Exhibition alongside our New Now auction highlights in our galleries on Berkeley Square this December.”
