NEW YORK, NY.- On the walls of a modern art museum in Ukrainian Village, a neighborhood and cultural enclave here, hangs a drawing of the fall of Mariupol, one of the bloodiest battles of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Against a bright orange sky, smoke drawn with a felt-tip pen billows from crumbling buildings as Russian planes fly overhead. The artist? A 9-year-old boy named Roman. In the same gallery hangs a painting of a blue-green tank by Ilya, 7. Beneath it, an armed Ukrainian soldier that Taras, 10, drew with oil pastels stands guard against a star-filled sky. The works are part of an exhibition by the children of Ukraine, many of them displaced by the war and invited to paint at hospitals, orphanages and art studios in Lviv, a city in the country’s west that has served as refuge from attacks in the east. Among the pieces packed ... More
SUSCH.- Running from 4 January to 2 July 2023, Muzeum Susch presents Hannah Villiger: Amaze Me, a comprehensive survey dedicated to the Swiss artist Hannah Villiger (1951-1997) with contributions from contemporary artists Alexandra Bachzetsis (b. 1974), Lou Masduraud (b. 1990) and Manon Wertenbroek (b. 1991). The largest exhibition dedicated to the artist in over 15 years, it reflects Muzeum Susch’s founding mission to spotlight women artists and revise a matrilineal art historical canon. One of Switzerland’s most significant women artists, Hannah Villiger’s life was abruptly cut short at age 45 by heart failure. She is best known for her large-format photographic works, combining close-ups of sometimes fragmented and abstracted body parts, addressing self-image, the body in relation to identity and the skin as an interface between inner and outer worlds. Villiger used polaroid images, enlarged them via an internegative ... More
ST. MORITZ.- This winter, Vito Schnabel Gallery is presenting Old Friends: Francesco Clemente, David Salle, Julian Schnabel, an exhibition focused upon three era-defining New York artists whose work forged new directions in contemporary painting. Francesco Clemente, David Salle, and Julian Schnabel each emerged on the New York art scene in the early 1980s. As contemporaries and close friends, they were identified collectively as part of the Neo-Expressionist group, a new generation of young painters. While stylistically diverse, they were united by a shared interest: a renewed approach to figural representation that radicalized both the city’s famous downtown art scene and a traditional medium previously declared “dead.” New York in the 1980s was emerging from a state of near bankruptcy ...

TILBURG.- A few times each day, Mahat Arab, a 26-year-old Dutch spoken-word artist, cracks the knuckles of his left hand during tasks that make him feel anxious, such as driving a car or talking on the phone. Karolien Wauters, a 23-year-old dancer, often tucks her hand into the waistband of her leggings. And Chandra Merx, a 41-year-old City Council official in Maastricht, raises her eyebrows, not only as an expression of surprise, but also as a reflex when she’s rushing or lost in thought. For Katja Heitmann, these kinds of movements — an unconscious routine, a tic, a distinctive gait — are core to each person’s unique personality. A German choreographer based in Tilburg, Heitmann believes everyone ... More
FORT LAUDERDALE, FLA.- The NSU Art Museum Fort Lauderdale began the presentation of Lux et Veritas last April 2, 2022, and will be ending it on January 8, 2023. Lux et Veritas explores a transformative period in contemporary art by focusing on a generation of artists of color who attended Yale School of Art for graduate studies between 2000 and 2010. The exhibition’s title alludes to Yale University’s motto, Lux et Veritas, which translates from Latin to “Light and Truth.” In the context of this exhibition, the title references how these artists think about their practice and the institutions they worked within and sought to build. As with similar programs, Yale School of Art had not been historically diverse, which spurred these art students to form affiliations across the departments of painting, graphic design, sculpture, photography and art history. They filled gaps in the school’s curriculum, counteracted ... More
Composed of a wooden frame and painted Perspex panels, McGurn’s characteristically fluid figures are all the more dynamic when presented across transparent screens, appearing to reach, lean and leap through the air.
LONDON.-Simon Lee Gallery is presenting France-Lise McGurn's installation Aloud, The exposé, on view from 20 December 2022 - 14 January 2023. Composed of a wooden frame and painted Perspex panels, McGurn’s characteristically fluid figures are all the more dynamic when presented across transparent screens, appearing to reach, lean and leap through the air. The outline of faces, torsos and limbs traverse painterly swathes of colour to form a narrative-defying ensemble of figures, crested by glowing neons. First exhibited at Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum as part of Glasgow International festival over summer 2021, Aloud, The exposé also draws on the artist’s personal experiences of Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum; the hours she spent there as a child and then later as an adult ...

Danville Museum of Fine Art and History Director Tina Cornely opens the Le'Histoire et Chronique de Provence to the title page, which features intricate wood cut of the four regions of France included in the book.
DANVILLE.- There are likely but a handful of copies of L’Histoire et Chronique de Provence, printed in France more than 400 years ago. At the time, one copy was given to King Louis XIII, and two copies eventually became part of museum collections in Paris and Lyon, France. Another copy is on now display at the Danville Museum of Fine Art and History. How the 1,092-page history of four regions of Provence ended up in Danville begins with two educators whose focus was bringing the world — through a vast collection of artifacts gleaned from around the globe — back to the young women at Stratford College in the early 20th century. L’Histoire was one of many artifacts at the College, which were given to the Danville Museum, as well as the Danville Historical Society, after the college closed in 1974 and was turned into a senior living facility ...

The first Detroit Concours d’Elegance, part of a series of events traditionally held at upscale resorts, took place in the heart of the Motor City.
NEW YORK, NY.- The Best of Show winner, a deep-blue 1937 Delahaye 135M Roadster Cabriolet, puttered up the horseshoe drive and past the judges’ stand to fanfare typical of a classic car expo. Such a meticulously restored, and rakish, car was to be expected at a vintage-vehicle show. The location, however, was anything but typical — the Concours d’Elegance was held for the first time at the Detroit Institute of Arts, a beaux-arts museum in the heart of America’s Motor City. “As remarkable as it may seem, there has not been a car show of this caliber in the city of Detroit ever,” said Richard Vaughan, a veteran car designer who is on the advisory team for the event, which took place Sept. 18. “We really felt strongly that an event celebrating the automobile should be in the city of Detroit, the city that put the world on wheels.” Events like the Concours d’Elegance, which tend to showcase classic cars built during the first half of the 20th century, ...

Sainte-Marie brought attention to Indigenous issues in her music, and was the first Indigenous person to win an Oscar — “Buffy Sainte-Marie: Carry It On” makes the case for her continued importance. (Akasha Rabut/The New York Times)
NEW YORK, NY.- One evening in 1962, a recent college graduate fresh to New York City took the stage for an open mic night at Gerdes Folk City in Greenwich Village. Her name was Buffy Sainte-Marie. Like most of the audiences at the folk coffeehouses, the crowd — which that night included another aspiring musician named Bob Dylan — was largely white; she was of Cree descent. She strummed a few plaintive chords on her guitar and, in a strong, clear voice that quivered with emotion, addressed her listeners in a song called “Now That the Buffalo’s Gone,” which was both a history lesson and an urgent plea for justice regarding concerns such as the recent construction of the Kinzua Dam, which had displaced hundreds of Seneca families in Pennsylvania and New York. “There would be very intelligent ...

TEL AVIV.- The first comprehensive exhibition dedicated to the illustrator at the Tel Aviv Museum of Art. Polonsky, among the most prolific illustrators working in the country today, was born in Kyiv in 1973 and immigrated to the country aged 8. After completing his studies at Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design worked as an illustrator for newspapers and TV. He received major public recognition for his illustrations in the Golden-Globe award film Waltz with Bashir (2009, dir. Ari Folman). Since then his body of work has extended over numerous projects manifesting the breadth and variety of his multimedia output in children’s books, animation, comics, editorial illustrations, costume and toy design. The exhibition reveals the elaborate processes involved in the medium of illustration and Polonsky’s creative and technical virtuosity by displaying dozens of preparatory drawings, digital prints and animatic animation, along with final ...

NEW YORK, NY.- Ronald Feldman, who for nearly 50 years oversaw one of New York’s most consistently political, forward-looking art galleries, died Dec. 20 at his home in Chappaqua, New York. He was 84. His family said the cause was Alzheimer’s disease. Trained as a lawyer and deeply interested in politics, Feldman, at his Ronald Feldman Gallery in the New York City neighborhood of SoHo, exhibited artists who pushed boundaries with work that almost always had a political slant. The list of celebrated artists to whom he gave first or early New York exhibitions included Hannah Wilke, Joseph Beuys, Chris Burden, Eleanor Antin, Pepon Osorio, Komar and Melamid, Helen and Newton Harrison, Ilya Kabakov, Ida Applebroog, Ed Schlossberg and Arakawa. Before it was fashionable, these artists often focused on women’s rights, the environment, totalitarianism ... More

LOS ANGELES, CA.-Gagosian is presenting Exodus, an exhibition of new work by Anselm Kiefer in New York and Los Angeles, at 555 West 24th Street, New York, and at Gagosian at Marciano Art Foundation, 4357 Wilshire Boulevard, Los Angeles. The large-scale paintings on view in New York and Los Angeles employ a wide range of materials including paint, terra-cotta, fabric, rope, wire, found objects, sediment of electrolysis, and metal—including copper and gold leaf. Mixing the abject and the exalted, these works are imbued with gesture, a sense of metamorphosis, and alchemical symbolism. Kiefer’s syncretic approach to materials extends to his understanding of history, literature, and mythology as forces that inform the present. In this new body of work, he incorporates inscriptions in Hebrew from the book of Exodus, with thematic references to its narrative blended with a diversity of other sources. Full of symbolic thresholds between ... More

Lawrie Shabibi to open the exhibition The Soil From Which We Came by Larry Amponsah DUBAI.- This January 11th, 2023 Lawrie Shabibi presents The Soil From Which We Came, the first solo exhibition of Larry Amponsah (b. 1989, Ghana) in the UAE. The exhibition, which will end on February 17th, 2023, continues the artist’s experimentation, reconfiguration and modification of archival imagery through collage and painting, in order to evoke a deeper awareness of interconnectivity and focus on contemporary Black culture, identity, politics and history. As a whole the exhibition can be considered a love story — one that explores connections: person to person, the inhabitant and the inhabited, and the relationship between things and people. It also looks at the extent to which one can pursue and push the possibility of painting and mixed media as an artist. Amponsah embarked on a journey to reinvent painting through a horticultural approach ... More
Exhibition by Ricardo Brey: Every Life is a Fire currently on view at Alexander Gray Associates GERMANTOWN, NY.-Alexander Gray Associatesv, Germantown presents Ricardo Brey: Every Life is a Fire. The artist’s first exhibition at the Gallery’s Hudson Valley location, this focused presentation highlights three works from the artist’s ongoing series of intricate, performative boxes, Every Life is a Fire. These boxes juxtapose disparate materials to speak to Brey’s own identity as an Afro-Cuban artist who has lived and created art in Belgium for more than thirty years. Encapsulating Brey’s artistic aims of constructing transcultural dialogues that delineate the expansiveness of human experience, each box from Every Life is a Fire unfolds to reveal a miniature world. Designed to be opened in a measured, meditative way, these sculptures charge their mundane objects with the near sacredness of reliquaries. For example ... More
Parco Arte Viviente currently presents 'Tierra' by Guatemalan artist Regina José Galindo TORINO.- As part of Artissima, this past November 4th 2022, the PAV opened Tierra, the solo exhibition of the artist Regina José Galindo, a Guatemalan artist who, for over twenty years, has been investigating the subject of social justice through the lens of performative practices whose expressive focal point is the relationship between the body and the environment. The exhibition, which ends on February 26th and is curated by Marco Scotini, follows on from those by the Indian artist, Navjot Altaf, and the Indonesian artist Arahmaiani in the investigation of the specific relationships that exist between environmental exploitation and oppressed peoples, women and minorities, decentralising the gaze as it goes beyond the geographical and cultural boundaries of the so-called West. The exhibition curated by Marco Scotini covers Galindo’s twenty year long career ... More
