NEW YORK, NY.- Every winter in the early 1980s, a sturdy bus departed Kolkata, India, for a concert tour of provincial towns. On board were some of North India’s finest classical musicians, world-recognized artists like vocalist Girija Devi, flutist Hariprasad Chaurasia, or tabla player Zakir Hussain. They traveled at close quarters. The musicians napped on mattresses in the back of the bus, improvised roadside cricket matches and gathered for post-concert music sessions in hotel rooms or spartan dormitory halls. With them was an outlier: Dayanita Singh, then a design student in her early 20s, with a camera. Six years in a row, from 1981 to 1986, she rode with the musicians, witnessed their debates and small talk, watched them ready in green rooms — and she photographed. Singh would become one ... More
Shannon Collier Gwin, 71, spraying a homeless woman on the sidewalk outside his art gallery in San Francisco’s Financial District, in a video that circulated widely on social media.
SAN FRANCISCO, CA.- A San Francisco art gallery owner who was recorded on video spraying a homeless woman with a hose outside his business last week has been charged with misdemeanor battery, the city’s district attorney said. The video, made by a bystander Jan. 9, shows a man identified by police as Shannon Collier Gwin, 71, who runs the Foster-Gwin Gallery in the city’s Financial District, leaning against a railing with his legs crossed at the ankle. Holding the nozzle in his right hand and supporting a length of the hose with his left, he aims a steady stream of water at the woman, who is sitting on the sidewalk surrounded by her belongings. “Move, move, move,” the man says after he stops spraying. “OK? You gonna move?” he adds, pointing down the sidewalk. Brooke Jenkins, the San Francisco district attorney ... More
NEW YORK, NY.-Gagosian announced an exhibition of paintings, sculptures, and works on paper by Cy Twombly, organized in association with the Cy Twombly Foundation. Opened across two floors of the gallery at 980 Madison Avenue, the exhibition gathers art produced in the final decade of Twombly’s life. Gagosian’s exhibition in New York coincides with Making Past Present: Cy Twombly, at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, from January 14 to May 7, 2023. Juxtaposing works by Twombly with ancient Greek, Roman, Egyptian, and Near Eastern artifacts from the museum, along with objects from the artist’s personal collection, Making Past Present explores Twombly’s engagement with the art, culture, and history of the ancient Mediterranean. Working in Gaeta, Italy, and Lexington, Virginia, Twombly returned to painting at a large scale in the 2000s. The shift followed his 1994 retrospective ... More
Carl Bloch, Prometheus Unbound, 1864. The Hellenic Ministry of Culture and Sports.
COPENHAGEN.- When SMK (The National Gallery of Denmark) welcomes visitors to a new major exhibition featuring Danish artist Carl Bloch (1834–1890) in February 2023, the show will include a very special painting: Bloch’s Prometheus Unbound. Measuring four by three metres, the painting was commissioned in 1864 by the newly appointed king of Greece. Before the painting was delivered to Athens, it was exhibited at Charlottenborg in Copenhagen. Here, it was greeted with huge enthusiasm, and Bloch was proclaimed the greatest artist ever to arise out of Denmark. After the exhibition, the painting was shipped to Athens and hung in the stairwell of the royal palace. In 1932, Prometheus Unbound was brought back to Denmark to once again be shown at an exhibition at Charlottenborg. By this time, however, Bloch no longer enjoyed the same popularity – his works were now considered ‘old-fashioned’ and ‘sentimental ... More
POTOMAC, MD.- To mark the centennial of artist Ellsworth Kelly (b. 1923, Newburgh, NY; d. 2015, Spencertown, NY), Glenstone Museum will mount a major survey exhibition commemorating the artist’s seven-decade career. Ellsworth Kelly at 100 will be one of the largest retrospectives of Kelly’s work in the 21st century and the first traveling exhibition organized by Glenstone. The exhibition will travel to Paris, France, where Kelly developed some of his most radical ideas as a young artist, to be displayed at the Fondation Louis Vuitton in the spring of 2024, in a presentation unique to the Frank Gehry designed museum. In the fall of 2024, the presentation will open at the Fire Station in Doha, Qatar, marking the first presentation of the artist’s work in the region. Kelly drew inspiration from nature and the world around him to create a singular style that shaped American abstraction ... More

Theodoor Rombouts (Antwerp, 1597 – Antwerp, 1637), The Lute player, c. 1625. Oil on canvas. The John G. Johnson Collection. Philadelphia Museum of Art, cat. 679.
GENT.- From 21 January 2023 until 23 April 2023, the Museum of Fine Arts Ghent will host the very first monographic exhibition of work by the virtuoso of Flemish Caravaggism, Theodoor Rombouts (1597-1637). A respected member of Antwerp’s art circles at that time, he produced paintings that were widely appreciated during his lifetime. But only until his artistic legacy was prematurely eclipsed by those of Antwerp’s founding fathers of baroque painting: Peter Paul Rubens (1577-1640) and Antoon Van Dyck (1599-1641). Now, the MSK aims to rectify this with an exhibition that reveals Rombouts’ artistic personality and places his work in a new perspective. Having trained with Abraham Janssen (ca. 1573-1632), the young Rombouts left Antwerp for Italy, where he found inspiration in the works of revolutionary painters Michelangelo Merisi da ... More
Neal Rock, Κινέβην, 2022. Pigmented silicone on polystyrene & Masonite, 66.04 x 40.64 x 22.86 cm., 26.0 x 16.0 x 9.0 in. Photo courtesy of Leila Heller Gallery.
NEW YORK, NY.-Leila Heller is currently presenting Neal Rock’s exhibition “Pericardium,” which opened on December 8th, 2022, and will continue through to February 10th, 2023. Neal Rock is a Welsh-born artist currently living and working in Charlottesville, Virginia. In a visual art career spanning twenty years, Rock has explored the material and conceptual boundaries of painting as its limits have been informed and redefined by other forms of cultural production such as film, sculpture and architecture, amongst others. His work came of age in the early 2000s and pays homage to previous generations of artists such as Lynda Benglis, Fabian Marcaccio and Bernard Frize, who set a foundation for what Rock has explored through his painting practice. Underlying his work is a concern for painting as a time-based endeavor ... More
Giuseppe Uncini, Cementarmato, 1959.
LONDON.-Sprovieri is presenting Roma 60, an exhibition focused on a historical period in which Rome was a melting pot of ideas and artistic experimentation. A city of writers, poets, artists and filmmakers each of them characterised by its own individuality but united by political, cultural and social affinities. Starting from the experience of the ‘Informale’, each artist acts as a ferryman towards new realities that are about to enter the art world (Pop Art, Arte Povera, and Minimal Art) bringing his own dose of radicalism, rebellion, experimentation and provocation. Ettore Colla was among the first to exhibit a new type of sculpture, characterised by salvaged elements, found in the suburbs of Rome, to which he donated a new poetic sense through his practice. During this time Alberto Burri experimented with new methods of creating art, such as sewing and burning, which later became deeply associated with the artist. ... More
Sean Donovan, Three Panels of a Three Foot Pipe, 2022. Cast fiberglass, pigment, UV crystal clear epoxy, wood, graphite, hardware. 28 x 24 x 6 inches, 71 x 61 x 15 cm. Photo courtesy of: M 2 3.
NEW YORK, NY.-M 2 3 presents Praxis of Matter - an exhibition of new work by Sean Donovan. The exhibit will be on view 13 January through 26 February 2023. Sean Donovan’s practice is influenced by the refuse of industry, concentrating on the deleterious impacts of purported “progress.” His forms are propelled by the context of the materials he investigates – how can one activate decaying or supposedly inert substances? For his second solo exhibition with M 2 3, the artist continues to examine the material language of decay and pernicious social praxis. For the past several years Donovan has researched practices related to the firearms industry, as well as consumer attitudes and mores, which culminated in a recent residency in Texas. It is of note that the State of Texas defends its righ ... More
A Year in the Life of Chew Stoke Village by Martin Parr, 19 January – 9 April 2022.
BRISTOL.- Photographs from Martin Parr’s lesser-known series documenting the Somerset village of Chew Stoke are being exhibited for the first time in 30-years. The exhibition includes over 200 previously unpublished archive prints and contact sheets providing a rare insight to Parr’s working and editing practice. In 1992 Parr spent a year photographing the Somerset village of Chew Stoke for a commission from The Telegraph Magazine and during this time he used 329 rolls of film. The magazine featured the project over 16 pages in 1993 and an exhibition was held at the village hall. Earlier this year, a new edit was published in the book A Year in the Life of Chew Stoke by RRB Photobooks. However, a vast majority of the photographs remain unpublished and this exhibition draws upon the extensive archive prints and contact sheets made during a golden era of magazine commissioning to show the story behind the story ...

Triptych I, 2021, 28.50 inch x 50 inch, digital print.
NEW YORK, NY.- Aneta Bartos’ Monotropa Terrain is a two-fold exploration of the deeper and darker nature of the human mind and the functioning of its memory. Monotropa Terrain pairs a large, projected, almost otherworldly, Super8 film, with five black and white videos (Testimonies I-V) each presenting an individual woman describing her mysterious encounters that question the nature of our accepted reality and explore ideas of duality and that of supernatural. Set in the dark world of the Monotropa, a plant known as ‘ghost pipe’ or ‘Indian pipe’, the seemingly amphibious characters portrayed in Bartos’ latest film seem to be in an embryonic process of taking form, merging, or splitting, as if trying to form a hybrid, dual form of creature. Moving through plant infested lakes and puddles of mud, the symbiotic movements of Bartos characters remind us of the sensual and mysterious ballets often seen in early documentaries on cell reproduction, or fungus and insect life ...

David Salle, Tree of Life, Heavenly, 2022. Oil and acrylic and felt on linen. 248.9 x 182.9 cm (98 x 72 in).
PARIS.- This Time with Feeling is an exhibition of new paintings by the American artist David Salle, which represents the culmination of his celebrated Tree of Life series. Populated with characters from Peter Arno’s mid-century illustrations for the New Yorker magazine, Salle’s vibrant new works set up an intriguing human drama as the backdrop for a reflection on painting and the history of art. Across the large, multipartite canvases on view, brightly coloured trees seem to grow out of subterranean painterly worlds that evoke the visual language of Cubism, Surrealism and Abstract Expressionism. These panels offer a distinct space for Salle to experiment with a more instinctive form of mark-making, which feeds the roots of the tree and animates the rest of the picture. ‘The art part’, as Salle calls it in a recent interview, ‘seemed to unlock some energies, some cultural forces that sparked in me a whole range of responses ...

"The Century of Loneliness Vol. I" involves artworks consisting of different techniques that range from canvas paintings and sound videos, to neon installations, and mirror products. Curated by Ekrem Yalçındağ, the exhibition is designed with holistic dialogues as reflections that develop around the concept of motif and carry the traces of mostly conceptual thinking. As the title indicates,"The Century of Loneliness Vol. I" is the first part of a two-step exhibition series. The artist depicts a period of this century in a different way by addressing the political, economic, sociological and psychological transformations related to the impact of the events that have taken place both in Turkey ...

Dance like you're Wednesday Addams NEW YORK, NY.- On a Brooklyn street dotted with auto repair garages, a line of young women wearing black ruffled dresses, black chokers, little black backpacks and Doc Martens waited in the cold outside a club called Quantum on Friday night. They were united in their fandom for the Netflix series “Wednesday” and their adoration for the show’s macabre protagonist, Wednesday Addams. The club, which is beside the Gowanus Expressway, was hosting an Addams Family-themed party dedicated to the dance that Wednesday performs in the show’s fourth episode at a prom-like event at Nevermore Academy, a boarding school for outcasts, vampires and werewolves. The angular dance is characterized by unpredictable arm flails and head jerks, and executed to the 1981 psychobilly classic “Goo Goo Muck,” by the Cramps. It has inspired endless fans to post bedroom tributes on TikTok ... More
How do you measure a season on Broadway? In cast albums. NEW YORK, NY.- Last year was a pretty good one for Broadway musicals, if by “pretty good” you mean “not as dreadful as usual.” Of the 15 that opened, just a handful were outright disasters both critically and financially. And though only six are still running, that’s not a bad number these days. Even better, most of last year’s shows made cast albums, so you can judge for yourself. True, you will not find “1776” or “The Little Prince” among them; they were not recorded. Nor was the original Broadway revival cast of “Funny Girl,” which instead opted to preserve its replacement cast, led by Lea Michele. (Following its November digital release, the CD goes on sale Friday.) Another absentee is “Paradise Square,” which, because of litigation between the show’s producer and its unions, is available only piecemeal — and only on its composer’s Instagram page ... More
Arthur Duncan, barrier-breaking tap dancer, is dead at 97 NEW YORK, NY.- Arthur Duncan, whose exuberant tap dancing carried him from the streets of Pasadena, California, to Betty White’s variety shows in the 1950s as one of the first Black regulars performing on television, and then to “The Lawrence Welk Show,” where he helped bring the art form to millions of viewers for almost two decades, died Jan. 4 in Moreno Valley, California. He was 97. His wife, Carole Carbone Duncan, confirmed the death. There were more renowned tap dancers during his long career — Bill Robinson, Sammy Davis Jr. and Gregory Hines, among them — but only Duncan had a regular national television showcase like the one he had Saturday nights on the popular if square Welk show, from 1964 to 1982. “‘Lawrence’ was not the hippest show around,” Hines told The Daily News of New York in 1989, when he was headlining ...

A raucous new festival, with a friends and family vibe NEW YORK, NY.- For obsessive dancegoers, it’s been a while since January in New York felt like January in New York. Remember American Realness at Abrons Arts Center? Coil at P.S. 122? Even before the days of COVID-19, those bustling experimental festivals of the 2010s — which coincided with the annual Association of Performing Arts Professionals conference, when lots of curators are in town — had quietly faded away, along with the flood of adventurous work they brought to theaters each winter. Picking up the torch with an even more anti-establishment spirit is a new interdisciplinary festival, Out-FRONT! Organized by members of Pioneers Go East, a grassroots art collective that spotlights the work of queer and feminist artists, the inaugural edition opened last week at the LGBT Community Center in Greenwich Village ...

"Carrie Schneider: I Don't Know Her" on view at CHART in New York NEW YORK, NY.-CHART opened their gallery’s second solo exhibition with New York-based artist Carrie Schneider this January 19th, which will continue through February 18th, 2023. I don't know her centers on two major new works: a 16MM color film and two unique chromogenic photographs made in–camera that span 400 feet. The photographic and moving image works exemplify the artist’s ongoing investigation of the photographic medium’s foundations and the principle motif of image transmission and proliferation. For I don't know her, Schneider produced a multiple portrait as a means to explore subject authority and formation. Situated on two levels of the gallery, the floor-to-ceiling film installation and an amorphous photographic scroll reveal an ecstatic combination of visuals that span one hundred and sixty three frames ...

India's love story with a movie still on the big screen after 27 years MUMBAI.- Well past the film’s intermission, the crowd keeps trickling in. Some pay at the ticketing window with a couple of taps on their phone; others dump fistfuls of coins. They are students and office clerks, prostitutes from the waning red-light district nearby, day laborers still chasing dreams in India’s “maximum city,” and the homeless with dreams long deferred. India’s film industry puts about 1,500 stories on the screen annually. But the audience that files every morning into the Maratha Mandir cinema in Mumbai is here for a movie that premiered 27 years ago — and has resonated so intensely that this once-grand 1,100-seat theater has played it every day since, save for a pandemic hiatus. The film, “Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge” — which translates as “The Big-Hearted Will Take the Bride” and is known as “DDLJ” ... More

British photographer wins Global SinoPhoto Awards with 'time-capsule' Wuhan image LONDON.- A photo, taken by a Bristol photographer, which depicts Hankou Bund, a popular park in Wuhan, China, is an inadvertent time-capsule image of a city which will forever be linked to the Covid-19 outbreak, and is the overall winner of the Betser Prize in an international photo competition celebrating Chinese culture.The image, which also won the Environment category, was taken by commercial and editorial photographer Fergus Coyle, who travelled to Wuhan for the first time for his brother’s wedding in 2017 and stayed an extra month to explore and photograph the city and the surrounding area. He captured the four-kilometre park along the Yangtze River where locals congregate for group exercises, chess, dancing, or to pose for photographs. The Global SinoPhoto Awards covered four categories: Environment; Portraiture; Food, and Series ... More
She brought new sounds to Colombia. The world's catching up. NEW YORK, NY.- Back in the 1960s, when female musicians were mostly confined to the roles of teacher, interpreter or muse, Colombian composer Jacqueline Nova was charting new paths in Latin America. Using tools like amplifiers, cables, pulleys, transformers and oscillators to create novel sounds, her sonic experiments anticipated the music software programs and apps that are common today. Nova also helped to lay the foundations for the development of sound art and interdisciplinary feminist art worldwide. Yet Nova’s work is only now beginning to resurface and her influence to be reckoned with. Scattered recordings began appearing online a decade or so ago, followed by presentations in museums. It culminated this fall with the release of a double album, “Creation of the Earth: Throbbing Echoes of Jacqueline Nova: Electroacoustic and Instrumental Music (1964-1974) ... More
What's next for the great gay play? Everything. NEW YORK, NY.- I don’t know whether it was because my parents were just generally open-minded, or because they had a specific, kindly yet mortifying agenda, but one of the first Broadway plays they took me to, in June 1977, was way too gay for comfort. It was about the closeted son of a Philadelphia family who returns from his fancy New England college to spend the summer at home — which is exactly what I was at that moment. At least the play — “Gemini,” by Albert Innaurato — was a comedy, full of hilarious distractions from its overriding and (for me) cringy subject: the struggle of the college student, Francis, to accept his sexual orientation so that his kin might do so as well. Guess what? He succeeds! As, a few years later, did I. Indeed, so many of us did in the ensuing years that you will barely find agonized Francises ... More
