Art on Paper returns to Manhattan's Lower East Side in March 2016, building on the success of the fair's inaugural 2015 edition. The first Art on Paper New York welcomed 20,000 visitors to Pier 36 over the fair's four buzzing days. Participating galleries saw strong sales to important collections as the public urgently engaged with the curated exhibitions. The fair's medium-driven focus lent itself to significant projects - unique moments that set Art on Paper apart and established a new and important destination for the arts in New York City. Working in concert with Beneficiary Partner Brooklyn Museum, Creative Director Sasha Wolf, and sponsor The Wall Street Journal, Art on Paper's second edition will feature special projects that push the boundaries of its celebrated medium.  Visitors to Art on Paper New York will be met with a powerful installation of Klein Sun Gallery artist Li Hongbo's paper sculptures. Recently exhibited at the SCAD Museum of Art as part of Irons for the Ages, Flowers for the Day, the work is composed of tools of war made from brightly colored honeycombed paper reshaped into delicate abstract forms. Art on Paper looks forward to a second year of artistic exploration, featuring a robust program of installations and an expanded exhibitor list of modern and contemporary galleries from around the world.

23^rd HAMPTONS INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL ANNOUNCES INAUGURAL AWARDS DINNER

HONORING EMILY BLUNT,

KILLER FILMS, ALBERT MAYSLES, AND

OUTGOING HIFF CHAIRMAN, STUART MATCH SUNA

— The Hamptons International Film Festival (HIFF) announced today an inaugural Awards Dinner celebrating internationally-acclaimed actress Emily Blunt, iconic independent film production company Killer Films (celebrating its 20th anniversary), legendary documentary filmmaker Albert Maysles (receiving a posthumous tribute), and longtime HIFF board chairman Stuart Match Suna, to take place in East Hampton on Sunday, October 11, 2015. The Dinner, which will take place during the 23rd annual Hamptons International Film Festival (October 8–12, 2015), will benefit the Festival’s year-round programming initiatives, the annual Screenwriters’ Lab, and the longtime summer initiatives; SummerDocs and the Student Filmmaking Workshops.

As part of the Awards Dinner, Emily Blunt will be presented with the Variety Creative Impact in Acting Award.  Blunt has been to the festival previously in 2005 when she was recognized as one of HIFF’s Rising Stars [now Ten Actors to Watch] program in 2005 in conjunction with her performance in GIDEON’S DAUGHTER, for which she won a Golden Globe. One of the most gifted actresses of her generation, Blunt’s versatility as a performer can be witnessed in films such as THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA, THE YOUNG VICTORIA, EDGE OF TOMORROW, INTO THE WOODS, and the upcoming release SICARIO, in which she stars as an FBI agent enlisted by an elected government task force to aid in the escalating war against drugs at the border area between the U.S. and Mexico. The Lionsgate film also stars Benicio Del Toro and Josh Brolin.

Christine Vachon and Pamela Koffler, who founded the New York-based production company Killer Films in 1995, will be honored with the HIFF Industry Award for 20 years of innovative, risk-taking movies and for consistently championing unique voices in independent cinema. Killer Films has produced several of the most acclaimed American independent films over the past two decades, including CAROL, STILL ALICE, which made its US Premiere at last year’s Closing Night of HIFF with Julianne Moore in attendance, FAR FROM HEAVEN, BOYS DON’T CRY, HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH, HAPPINESS, and KIDS. 

Legendary documentary filmmaker Albert Maysles will receive a posthumous tribute. Maysles passed away in March 2015, leaving a rich cinematic legacy, including GREY GARDENS, GIMME SHELTER, SALESMAN, and IRIS, which won HIFF’s Audience Award last year for Documentary.

HIFF founding board member, Stuart Match Suna, will be honored for his 18 years as Board Chairman. After this year’s festival, Suna will step into the Chair Emeritus role, handing the Chairman reins over to longtime board members Randy Mastro and Alec Baldwin. Under Suna’s leadership, the Festival expanded into Southampton, Montauk, Sag Harbor, and Westhampton, and evolved into a year-round cultural organization dedicated to championing film culture. Alec Baldwin will present the award to Suna.

“The Hamptons International Film Festival was founded to celebrate independent voices in cinema, and it is in that spirit that we choose to fete this extraordinary group of individuals, each of whom has made a remarkable impact on independent film culture,” said Executive Director Anne Chaisson.  “Also, it is with great admiration that we celebrate our outgoing chairman Stuart Match Suna.  His vision and support over the past 18 years has led HIFF to where it is today.”

VALERIE HIRD: THE GENESIS TREE, in ArtPrize on September 23 Nora Hamie Gallery

VALERIE HIRD  "The Genesis Tree" September 23 - October 11 Reception: September 23rd from 5-9 p.m. Monroe Community Church 800 Monroe NW, Grand Rapids, MI The issue of intelligent design is addressed in the installation THE GENESIS TREE: a 4' x 6' sculpture composed of nearly 3000 individually-folded paper forms that suggests a different hypothesis for the origin of the species. Suspended from wire frames, the forms combine - like molecules - to create a primordial tree that defines the first explosive burst of life. The trunk, shaped by the double-stranded helices of DNA, is color-coded to the fundamental elements of earth, water, air and fire. In the tree's canopy, these elements mix into secondary hues which in turn blossom into a ring of paper birds which flock to the four compass points where they become larger and freer composite birds. An accompanying video will be available in June. Naturally occurring or intentionally created, THE GENESIS TREE celebrates the variety of life engendered by the endless and delicate interconnection of nature's systems.

ACE GALLERY BEVERLY HILLS TECHNICOLOR HAPPENING BEN JONES SEPTEMBER 24, 2015 7:00 – 9:00 PM

TECHNICOLOR HAPPENING

BEN JONES COLLABORATION WITH
FASHION DESIGNERS WOLK MORAIS,
PING PONG CHAMPION SOO YEON LEE,
AND COMPOSER DAVID UTZINGER

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 2015
7:00 – 9:00 PM

Ben Jones's self-titled exhibition Ben Jones X 8 transforms Ace Gallery into an immersive space with Cinema Paintings and wall-climbing New Ladder sculptures. Investigations and celebrations of the 8-bit video medium, Jones's Cinema Paintings combine traditional painting with video to create individual mesmerizing artworks. The works are characterized by vivid colors, geometric shapes and digital abstraction and utilize recurring visuals like bricks and ladders to construct a unique visual language. Distinctly minimalistic, Jones's works play with the viewer's sense of perspective, time, and place.

Designers Wolk and Morais are known for their artistic and playful aesthetic, coupling couture tradition with American sportswear savoire faire. The pair's West Coast presence has generated significant buzz amongst the world's most noteworthy fashion and lifestyle editors, celebrities and tastemakers, which include loyal fans such as Jessica Chastain, Rose McGowan, Jada Pinkett Smith and Michelle Monaghan. Wolk and Morais won the Fashion Group International Rising Star Award and have been featured in top fashion publications such as Vogue, The New York Times, Harper's Bazaar, Teen Vogue, W, Elle, Nylon, Allure and WWD.

Ben Jones's and the designers' shared color palette, sense of form and youthful joie de vivre inspired the trio to work together to produce this collaboration, which will involve the re-contextualization of the WOLK MORAIS critically acclaimed resort 2016 collection, worn by four table tennis stars, including world famous table tennis champion and model Soo Yeon Lee.

The world premiere Apollonian Gasket by LA based composer David Utzinger was commissioned by Ace Gallery's Douglas Chrismas in honor of Ben Jones's exhibition. An Apollonian Gasket is a type of recursive "ring" or circle, made up of smaller circles, i.e. circles within circles. Utzinger states, "I think that patterns and loops are important to this exhibition, and recursion and loops are pretty closely related. Also, I like the word "Apollonian," which invokes thoughts of discipline and beauty, next to the word "gasket," which makes me think of cars and oil pans, and dirt. They don't have anything to do with Apollo though, they were discovered by Greek mathematcian Apollonius of Perga in the 3rd century BC."

David Gerhard Utzinger (born 1975 in Los Altos, CA) began his artistic career studying visual art. After music became an ever-increasing influence in his life, he began studying piano with Dr. Renee Chevalier, and composition with Dr. Paul Davies. From 2000 – 2004, he studied composition at the Berklee College of Music in Boston with Dr. John Bavicchi and Dr. Andrew List. While at Berklee, he received the Richard Levy Award in composition, was selected to represent the composition department during the 2004 awards concert, and participated in a residency with the Esterhazy String Quartet. In the spring of 2010, David Utzinger received his Masters degree from the Manhattan School of Music, where he studied with Dr. Richard Danielpour and received the Nicholas Flagello Award for outstanding achievement as a composer. David Utzinger is currently pursuing his Ph.D in composition and theory at UCLA, studying with Dr. Paul Chihara, Dr. David Lefkowitz, and Dr. Ian Krouse.

Soo Yeon Lee is a world champion table tennis player as well as a model and an actress. Lee was recognized for her skills after winning six successive titles as the Korean National Junior Champion by the age of eleven, in addition to winning other international junior tournaments. Lee later played for the Korean National Team and won second place in the World University Championship in China. In 2007, she came to the United States where she won the U.S. Open Championship, after winning a number of other U.S. national tournaments.

Soo Yeon Lee and the table tennis models will play on artworks in the form of ping pong tables created by Ben Jones, challenging each other and guests to matches. As the fashion-clad table tennis players face off, Utzinger's composition, a quadrophonic masterpiece, will resonate throughout the gallery.
