Cage Transmitted Continues with Simone Forti and more!

November 9, 2012 Cage Transmitted Series Returns to Dumbo Arts Center: November 2012 Norte Maar and Experiments in Art and Technology once again pair up with Dumbo Arts Center to present three exciting Cage Transmitted Events in November. All events will take place at 7pm at Dumbo Arts Center (111 Front Street, Brooklyn). Monday, November 12 at 7pm An evening with Simone Forti Choreographer Simone Forti will talk about the 'permissions' that the work and working methods of John Cage have given her in making dances and in the creating and showing of the sound installations she has made over the years. Simone Forti is a postmodern American choreographer and musician who, throughout her nearly four-decade career, has created dances largely based on basic everyday movements. A noted dancer, Forti performed with Anna Halprin, Merce Cunningham, Martha Graham, Trisha Brown and Robert Whitman. Musically she has collaborated with La Monte Young, Richard Maxfield, Terry Riley, and Yoko Ono.

Scholar Eva Diaz will trace how Cage, in collaboration with others like Merce Cunningham and Jasper Johns, rethought the economics of art as collaborative exchange rather than speculative capital. Cage's ideas in the early 1950s through the 1970s, led to the organization of events and implementation of new models inwhich the visual artist funded the performing arts. Eva Diaz is Assistant Professor of Contemporary Art at Pratt Institute. Díaz's writing appears in magazines and journals such as The Art Bulletin, Art Journal, Art in America, Cabinet, Frieze, Grey Room, and Tate Etc., and she is a regular contributor to Artforum. Her book on Black Mountain College, The Experimenters, will be released by University of Chicago Press in the fall of 2013. John Cage, Jasper Johns, and Merce Cunningham, July 3, 1989 Photo: Timothy Greenfield-Sander November 20 at 7pm Empty Words with artist Audra Wolowiec + musician Nate Wooley Known for her sculptures and text works that respond to how sound is experienced and transmitted, Audra Wolowiec will talk about her work, the influence of John Cage's 12-hour piece, Empty Words. Musician Nate Wooley will perform one of Wolowiec ‘scores’ on his trumpet, amplifying the transition from language to music.  Audra Wolowiec is an interdisciplinary artist from Detroit, MI, based in Brooklyn, NY. Through sculpture, sound, text and performance, her work explores the physical and ephemeral nature of communication, allowing experiences that merge the sensory with the conceptual. She received an MFA in sculpture from the Rhode Island School of Design and has shown work at Norte Maar, Magnan-Metz, and Art in General. Her work has been featured in the Brooklyn Rail, Requited Journal, and Thresholds Magazine (MIT Dept of Architecture). www.audrawolowiec.com Nate Wooley is a Brooklyn-based musician who combines vocalization, extended technique, noise and drone aesthetics, amplification and feedback, to create an idiosyncratic trumpet language. He has performed regularly with such icons as John Zorn, Anthony Braxton, Fred Frith, Evan Parker, and Yoshi Wada. His work has been featured at the WRO Media Arts Biennial in Poland, Kongsberg and Copenhagen Jazz Festivals, and the New York New Darmstadt Festival. He is currently an artist-in-residence at Brooklyn’s Issue Project Room and just completed a residency at London’s Café Oto. www.natewooley.com Audra Wolowiec Photo: Katarina Hybenova Norte Maar News: Nov 1: "On female artists and To be a Lady”, by James Panero, The New Criterion Oct 13: "City of Women," by Thomas Micchelli, Hyperallergic Oct 25: "Bruce Dow & Allyson Strafella," by Paul D’Agostino, L Magazine Oct 27: Cage on Marley on Vinyl photo essay (facebook album) Norte Maar Suggests: Rebecca Goyette (aka Lobsta Girl) @ AIRPLANE 70 Jefferson Street, Bushwick Opening: Sat, Nov 10, 7-10pm SHOW #4: Bridget Mullen, Chris Marshall, Christopher Patch, Janice Sloane @ The Parlour 791 Bushwick Ave at Dekalb Ave, Bushwick Opening: Sat, Nov 10, 6-9pm Susan Smith, Mike Metz, Hewitson Kong @ Bull and Ram 1717 Troutman #226, Ridgewood Opening: Sat, Nov 10, 7-9pm Ellipsis: new work by Allison Somers @ Microscope Gallery 4 Charles Place, Brooklyn Opening: Fri, Nov 16, 6-9pm Norte Maar for Collaborative Projects in the Arts 83 Wyckoff Avenue, #1B, Brooklyn, NY 11237 646-361-8512 | nortemaar.org

Distinguished International Silver Items Exhibited On The Curator's Eye

The Curator’s Eye Highlights Important Silver On Offer

NEW YORK - The Curator’s Eye, (www.CuratorsEye.com), the distinctive online platform for the finest art and antiques from distinguished dealers across the globe, is pleased to present an exceptional selection of fine silver from around the world. Included in this offering are four Irish George II silver figural candlesticks by James Warren of Dublin and an extremely fine six-piece silver tea set from Cutch, India. Since its launch in 2011, The Curator's Eye has been connecting leading dealers with serious buyers across a wide spectrum of categories.

Made in Dublin circa 1755, the four caryatid candlesticks by James Warren are rare and unique examples of some of the finest silver produced in Ireland. Each piece exhibits strong rococo features with the added attraction of joker faces poking out of the base of the stems. They are heavy and solid in the hand, and are a most unusual style and form. The rococo style invaded the fashions of Ireland in the 1740s and 50s and was expressed in silver by the highly talented chasers and engravers of the period. As seen in these elaborate candlesticks, the makers manipulated the rococo style in a very Irish way, with gusto and quirkiness. Few Irish figural candlesticks have survived, but those that have demonstrate exceptional quality of chasing and most unusual features. 



Made in Cutch, India, circa 1880, the splendid six-piece tea set is a particularly fine example of colonial Indian silversmithing. Each piece is perfectly formed and finely chased with the Islamic-influenced scrolling tendril and flower pattern against a finely tooled background that is typical of Cutch work. The set comprises a teapot, a sugar bowl, a creamer, a cup and saucer, and a large scalloped tray, all in high-grade, solid silver. Each piece has a pleasing weight in the hand. Overall, it is a striking and highly decorative ensemble by one of the leading late nineteenth century Cutch silversmithing firms. The condition is perfect.

As a digital art marketing platform, The Curator’s Eye seamlessly integrates into the current structure of the high-end art world and helps private dealers expand their global customer base for their remarkable objects. Items on offer range from fine art, antiquities, ethnographic objects, decorative arts, manuscripts, and rare maps. The site excels at providing specialty categories that are difficult to find on other art listing sites.
