Tripoli Gallery August 18- September, 18, 2023, exhibition : A Magical Day at Ditch!

 

A MAGICAL DAY AT DITCH! AUGUST 18 - SEPTEMBER 18, 2023 OPENING RECEPTION: FRIDAY, AUGUST 18, 6-8 PM TRIPOLI GALLERY 26 Ardsley Road, Wainscott, NY 11975

Tripoli Gallery is pleased to announce its end-of-summer show, A Magical Day at Ditch!  The collective exhibit highlights work inspired by the iconic surfers’ beach at Ditch Plains in nearby Montauk. It is a continuation of the gallery’s 2017 summertime show entitled Summer Trip. Both shows were curated by St. Louis-based painter, Katherine Bernhardt, and both focus on summer love and the multi-faceted realities of summer living.  A Magical Day at Ditch! allows us to question the essence of this excellent, if short, season. It addresses elements that epitomize the summer by exploring what makes it so much fun. The selected artwork reveals what more than a dozen artists have dreamt up when creating summer-themed art. From the solstice onwards, so much of this season has to do with water: swimming, surfing, sailing and the beach. For many, summer might mean afternoons at friends’ pools, catching up as you sip lemonade, or having fun falling into the sand at the beach while chasing dogs and a frisbee. Summer can also include a BBQ on your parent’s patio or staying up late after getting too much sun. There is also surfing, one’s personal visceral contact with the universe’s lunar-controlled pull of water in the form of salty foamy crashing waves. Read More>>> VIEW PREVIEW TRIPOLI GALLERY, NY Established in 2009, Tripoli Gallery was located in Southampton on Long Island’s East End before moving in 2019 to an expansive permanent, 2,400-square-foot space in Wainscott. Founded by Tripoli Patterson, the gallerist was still in his twenties and one of the youngest curators to have exhibited both emerging and blue chip artists with extensive contemporary programming on the East End. He has organized, produced, and curated shows in various locations on Long Island, New York City, and most recently Byron Bay, Australia. The gallery wants to honor the land and sea through exhibitions that explore personal and art histories, while also creating a buzz around artists who may be exhibiting for the first time. Spanning generations, Patterson's vision and taste are completely his own and have been inspired by his upbringing: living, traveling and surfing around the globe.

GROUNDBREAKING SURVEY OF CONTEMPORARY NATIVE AMERICAN ART COMING TO SUNDARAM TAGORE

GROUNDBREAKING SURVEY OF CONTEMPORARY NATIVE AMERICAN ART COMING TO SUNDARAM TAGORE

Exhibition title: Native American Art Now Exhibition dates: September 7 – October 7, 2023 Opening reception: September 7, 6 – 8 pm Venue: Sundaram Tagore Gallery, 542 West 26th Street, New York, NY 10001 Open: Tuesday – Saturday, 10 am – 6 pm

Hock E Aye Vi Edgar Heap of Birds Nuance of Sky 4, 2012, acrylic on canvas, 36 x 42 inches/91.4 x 106.7 cm

We are pleased to present an exhibition of paintings, sculpture, photography and an installation by more than twenty contemporary Indigenous artists from diverse tribal affiliations spanning the United States and Canada. Native American Art Now, curated by Leesa Fanning, will be our largest and most ambitious exhibition of the year.   The established and emerging artists explore a wide range of subjects—land, place, nature and spiritual worldviews (including creation stories), the traumas of colonialism and racism—expressing resilience and hope. The work has emerged from customary practices and traditional meanings, forms, materials and techniques, as well as more contemporary subjects and alternative media and art-making processes.   Native American Art Now celebrates the prominence and importance of contemporary Indigenous art as it becomes an increasingly integral part of the international art world and enters the mainstream art-historical canon.

THE ARTISTS The exhibition includes work by Barry Ace, Norman Akers, Marcus Amerman, Christi Belcourt, Lola S. Cody, Monty Claw, Richard Glazer Danay, Beau Dick, Hock E Aye Vi Edgar Heap of Birds, Robert Houle, Matthew Kirk, Athena LaTocha, Nadia Myre, Dan Namingha, Marianne Nicolson, Jaad Kuujus (Meghann O’Brien), Virgil Ortiz, Preston Singletary, Duane Slick, Bently Spang, Lonnie Vigil and Will Wilson. EXHIBITION HIGHLIGHTS Hock E Aye Vi Edgar Heap of Birds (Cheyenne and Arapaho, b. 1954), who is based in Oklahoma City, presents a suite of four brightly colored abstract paintings from his long-running Neuf series that expresses spiritual meaning and a reverence for nature. Also on view is Our Red Nations Were Always Green, one of the artist’s acclaimed text-based monoprint installations. A similar work from the series was acquired by MoMA in 2019.   Heap of Birds is represented in the collections of The British Museum, London; The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Museum of Modern Art and Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian and the Library of Congress, Washington, DC. Robert Houle Saysaygon, 2016, oil on canvas, 84 x 120 inches/213.4 x 304.8 cm Toronto-based artist Robert Houle (Anishinaabe Saulteaux, b. 1947) creates work that seeks to decolonize historical narratives and functions as a reparative, healing practice. In his diptych Saysaygon, an enigmatic figure stands opposite an abstract color-field landscape punctuated by two equal-arm crosses. These floating forms represent the Morning Star—often depicted in Indigenous art—that heralds the break of a new day, hope, restoration and renewal.   A major retrospective showcasing five decades of Houle’s work is currently on view in Washington, DC at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian. Matthew Kirk Spirit Raiser, 2023, acrylic, oil and graphite on tar paper, cedar, Coroplast, Sheetrock, woven into steel mesh and mounted on panel, 84 x 84 inches/213.4 x 213.4 cm Arizona-born, New York-based artist Matthew Kirk (Diné [Navajo] and European descent, b. 1978) presents a new mixed-media work inspired by Diné motifs found in textiles as well as his urban environment. The three-dimensional construction is filled with his repertoire of distinctive motifs configured on what he calls “tiles.” Kirk employs his own pictorial language of elemental signs to explore the intersection of his Indigenous and Euro-American heritage and positions himself in respect to both.   Kirk was a 2019 recipient of the Eiteljorg Museum Fellowship for Contemporary Native American Art. His work is in the Forge Project collection in Taghkanic, New York; the Everson Museum of Art, Syracuse, New York; and the Eiteljorg Museum, Indianapolis, Indiana, among others. Preston Singletary Tlingit Basket Trio, 2022, blown and sand carved-glass Photo by Russell Johnson Among four works by Preston Singletary (Tlingit, European, Filipino, b. 1963), an internationally recognized Seattle-based artist who identifies his Tlingit culture as the fundamental inspiration for his work, is a suite of glass baskets. They are contemporary versions of traditional Tlingit baskets historically woven by women from spruce-tree roots.  Singletary imbues his with the refined aesthetics of the originals, which represent his way of rethinking and re-contextualizing traditional objects.  Singletary’s work is in the collections of the Brooklyn Museum and Museum of Arts and Design, New York; Detroit Institute of Arts and the National Museum of Scotland.   Ontario-based artist Christi Belcourt (Métis, b. 1966) is widely known for her extraordinary pointillist paintings that express profound love for Mother Earth. Created especially for this exhibition, The Night Shift is a celebration of nocturnal creatures articulated through thousands of tiny dots that simulate centuries-old Anishinaabe beadwork.   Belcourt’s work is in the collections of National Gallery of Canada, Ottawa, Ontario; Art Gallery of Ontario, Toronto; First Peoples Hall at the Canadian Museum of History, Gatineau, Quebec; and the Minneapolis Institute of Art , Minnesota. Virgil Ortiz (Ortiz, Cochiti, b. 1969), who lives and works in Cochiti Pueblo, New Mexico, perpetuates Cochiti ceramic traditions while simultaneously transforming them into a contemporary vision that embraces Pueblo history and culture and merges it with his life-long interest in science fiction. His striking ceramic sculpture Recon Watchman is part of a series that brings to life futuristic, time-traveling warriors dedicated to protecting the Pueblos and ensuring their survival. Work by Ortiz is currently on view in exhibitions at the New Mexico History Museum in Santa Fe and the Colby College Museum of Art in Waterville, Maine, where he was also part of the exhibition’s curatorial team. Nadia Myre Light Assembly: Julie, 2023, woven handmade ceramic beads, stainless steel wire, 84 x 60 inches/213.4 x 152.4 cm Interdisciplinary artist Nadia Myre (Algonquin member of the Kitigan Zibi Anishinaabeg First Nation, b. 1974) created a poetic landscape made from intricately woven ceramic beads especially for the exhibition. The Quebec-born, Montreal-based artist says her purpose is to “paint nature through beadwork.”   Myre has exhibited extensively, including at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian in New York. Her works are on permanent exhibition at The Montreal Museum of Fine Arts; Art Gallery of Ontario, Toronto; National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa; and Canada’s embassies in Paris, London and Greece.
