SCOPE Art Show

Basel, Switzerland: Connected by dedicated SCOPE TRAMS to the main fair, SCOPE Art Show returns to its pioneering location in Klybeckquai, the new art and culture center of Basel. A wellspring of cultural development for Basel Stadt, SCOPE was the first in what is now a series of extraordinary happenings centered on the New Arts District on the Rhine. In proximity to SCOPE Basel's 4,000m² pavilion, the Tinguely Museum will present Jean Tinguely's brilliant musical performance "Cyclope" along with several restaurants, bars, and clubs orchestrating "pop-ups" along the once-industrial riverfront. SCOPE is delighted to be at the center of this focused cultural moment in Basel. SCOPE Basel will welcome 75 International Exhibitors alongside 20 Breeder Program Galleries, offering a view of the contemporary art market available nowhere else. Exhibitors hail from four continents and over twenty countries including China, Mexico, Japan, Korea, Brazil, Italy, Iran, Russia, Turkey, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Norway, Switzerland, Germany, UK, Spain, and Canada. SCOPE Basel opens to VIPs and Press on Tuesday, June 17, with its Platinum First View benefit from 12pm - 4pm; the fair will run June 18-22, 2014. Accessible by dedicated SCOPE tram, SCOPE Basel is connected to the Messaplatz and Claraplatz. Additionally, visitors may reach the fair by a scenic walking route along the Rhine, which will feature SCOPE Basel information points for convenience.  Long-established as the original incubator for emerging work, SCOPE's Breeder Program celebrates its 14th year of introducing new galleries to the contemporary market. A remarkable opportunity for exposure, Breeder Program alumni include: Peres Projects, John Connelly Presents, Galeria Enrique Guerrero, Daniel Reich Gallery, Bischoff Weiss, INVISIBLE-EXPORTS, SEVENTEEN, ROKEBY, Taxter Spengemann, Magical Artroom and Spinello Projects, among other notable galleries.

   Walter Wickiser Gallery is proud to announce the exhibition of Ralph L. Wickiser, The Compassion I 1950-1958, from April 3rd to May 10th, 2014.

            From 1950 through 1968, the focus of Wickiser’s painting was non-objective and the series that came about were entitled Compassion I (1950-1958), and Compassion II (1959-1968). This was a time when he was very involved with artists such as Barnett Newman, Franz Kline and Philip Guston. Most of the work was inspired by Grunewald’s Isenheim Altarpiece which he often thought was one of the greatest artworks ever made. In the Compassion I paintings he wanted to create a visual feeling of uplifting or resurrection thru the use of square shaped panels and glazes throughout the paintings. This created a juxtaposition of various layers of opposing colors to create a visual effect of seeing thru time and space in an effort to create a feeling of rebirth, spring, or the eternal cycle of life.  This use of juxtaposition and glazing of abstract forms to create a feeling of the life’s moment would continue in his later work; The Reflected Stream, Early Years 1975-1985, The Reflected Stream, Abstract Years 1985-1998, The Covered Apple Tree 1987-1998 and Shadows On the Grass 1996-1998.                                  

                                                                                                                                                        

            Since the 1930’s, his works have been shown in galleries, universities, and museums throughout America including the Metropolitan Museum, the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Brooklyn Museum, the San Francisco Museum, the Oakland Museum, the New Orleans Museum of Art, Dayton Museum, the Cincinnati Museum and the Dallas Museum. During his life, he exhibited with artists such as Milton Avery, Ralston Crawford, Willem de Kooning, Adolph Gottlieb, Philip Guston, Georgia O’Keeffe, and Jackson Pollock.

            Wickiser’s works have been included in A History of American Tonalism 1880-1920 by David Adams Cleveland which won the award of the best art history book in 2012. In addition, his works were recently included in the special exhibition at the Queens Museum entitled Queens International 2013 organized by Meiya Cheng, independent curator and Hitomi Iwasaki, the Museum’s  Director of Exhibitions and Curator.

            An opening reception for Ralph L. Wickiser, The Compassion I 1950-1958, will be held on Thursday, April 3rd, from 6 - 8 p.m. For further information, please contact the gallery at (212) 941-1817, Tuesday through Saturday, 11 a.m.- 6 p.m.

Electric Renaissance II Exhibition by Stefano Castronovo & Donato Del Giudice     Electric Renaissance II Exhibition by Stefano Castronovo & Donato Del Giudice at SomoS Art House Opening: 4 April 2014, 7 – 10 pm Duration: April 5 – April 18,  2014; Tue-Sat, 1-6 pm Special Event: April 12, 7pm, fanzine presentation; artist talk moderated by Joanna Fatorelli and Paulus Fugers, recital Venue: SomoS, Kottbusser Damm 95, 1st floor, 10967 Berlin Website: http://www.somos-arts.org/ April 2014, SomoS Art House presents the exhibition Electric Renaissance II by two Berlin-based Italian artists; Stefano Castronovo and Donato Del Giudice. The presented works are joint by the artists’ common history spent in New York; a preoccupation with popular- and classical themes, coupled with a shared Italian sensibility towards themes like portraiture, pop and middle class suburban life. Noted Pop-artist Stefano Castronovo staged the first Electric Renaissance exhibition together with queer black minimalist composer Julius Eastman in the early 1980′s at New York’s Club 57, a seminal venue that offered a platform to young visual- and performing artists such as Keith Haring, Klaus Nomi, Madonna, RuPaul, Futura 2000, Kenny Scharf and Joey Arias. Like its predecessor, Electric Renaissance II stands for the combination of a genuine expression of New York Pop sensibilities with masterly classical techniques. The installation includes photography, painting, silkscreen prints, and mixed media works especially conceived for this occasion. Stefano Castronovo: Stefano first became known as participant in the 80's downtown NYC art scene for his huge street-art murals, and paintings on the “tough and a little nasty surface” (Glenn O’Brien) of leather jackets collected and prized by Warhol and other celebrities. Stefano currently works in Berlin on figurative paintings on paper and canvas of realistic female nudes and other themes. Recent presentations of Stefano's work include group shows at the Andy Warhol Museum, and the Area Club exhibition at The Hole, curated by Jeffrey Deitch. Recent commissions include a new collection of pop icon jacket paintings for Patricia Field, and murals for the lobbies of the Maritime and Bowery hotels in New York. Donato Del Giudice: Using a classic large-format camera, Del Giudice creates personal portraits and urban views in the Düsseldorfer Schule tradition. The photographer initially studied art at the Academia delle Belle Arti di Brera; subsequently he studied at the International Center of Photography in New York, where he studied with Alan Frame, Gerard Vezzuso and Amy Arbus, and came in contact with Alec Soth. Donato Del Giudice’s analog work presents an understated vision of his generation and its urban surroundings, but introduces to this sober way of photographing an Italian poetic sense. About SomoS: SomoS Non-Profit Art House is a continuation of former art space Kunstraum Richard Sorge. SomoS' mission is to create an international open platform for innovative arts, exhibitions, performances, research, workshops, education and creative cooperation, as well as offering artist in residence opportunities.   SomoS, Kottbusser Damm 95, 1st floor, 10967 Berlin U8 Schoenleinstrasse Phone: +491723118431 http://somos-arts.org Email: somos@somos-arts.org
