Perfect Home

New York based artist and Seoul, South Korea expatriot Do Ho Suh has often times with his work inspired viewers to look outside of themselves at a larger picture. However, his show “Perfect Home”, which just finished a four month stint at the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art in Kanazawa, Japan tells a much more personal story. These pieces, constructed out of steel armatures and translucent nylon fabric are recreations of the homes that he has lived, loved, lost, failed, and flourished in. The result of these constructions is nothing short of awe inspiring; the semi-transparent spaces he creates indicate an interesting intention. The artist becomes as translucent as the works themselves. This being said, no wall or stair is transparent, as no person truly is.

    Sharing with people the spaces that he cared for provides viewers with an intimate view of one level of his personal life, but without sharing so much detail that their story is obvious. We are not defined by where we live; we create the definitions of the spaces we choose to occupy by what we do in them.

Laughing Squid recently featured German artist Wolfgang Stille and his haunting “Matchstickmen” installations. The large-scale sculptures, resembling burnt matches, have a jarring quality to them when you realize that they are indeed topped with figures of human heads. The more one observes this space, the more disturbing it becomes, largely because of the way the heads are separated from their bodies, and the minor detail that they appear to have been set on fire. The piece invites you to question it: who are these figures meant to represent? Who was the one that struck the matches against the impossibly large matchbox?Laughing Squid recently featured German artist Wolfgang Stille and his haunting “Matchstickmen” installations.

Degas: A Man Apart

                      image

Although he is often considered a member of the original group of Impressionists, Edgar Degas always stood apart from the group as a realist in his approach to drawing and painting. Unlike his Impressionist colleagues, he foundationally approached his work with a draftsman’s eye, and is arguably one of the finest of the 19th Century. He is known the world over for his uncanny depictions of movement, inspired by his studies in dance studios, bathhouses, horse tracks, and social events for the bourgeois.

He was and remains an artistic innovator; a landmark in the history of art and design. Can’t get enough of him? Take home a piece of his legacy from BronzeCo today!

73-year-old artist Richard Jackson has marked his territory, quite literally with his piece currently on display at the Orange County Museum of Art. The giant black Labrador, paired in conjunction with his retrospective show, “Ain’t Painting a Pain” (on view until May 5th), sprays the wall of the building with a pleasantly crass stream of yellow paint. Not all of his work is based in shock value, but Jackson certainly knows how to make a statement.  For the record, the dogs at BronzeCo are much better behaved.73-year-old artist Richard Jackson has marked his territory, quite literally with his piece currently on display at the Orange County Museum of Art.

Spanish Sculptor Juan Muñoz tells incredible stories with his work, even after his death. A combination of paper mache, resin and bronze, his pieces beg for you to ask questions. Each figure is created with an individual intention, explaining itself to the area it is juxtaposed to by its method of interaction with it. Muñoz proposed that there are only two things which are impossible to represent: the present and death, and that the only way to arrive at them was by their absence.

Walking to the Sky

    Johnathan Borofsky, an artist out of Maine, has over the years installed several variations of his gravity-defying piece, Walking to the Sky, in many different public spaces. The piece has been permanently installed in Dallas, Pittsburgh, and Seoul, Korea, where passerby are welcomed to join the artist-provided skeptics, built from steel and resin. 

image

    The stainless steel pole stretches 30 feet into the air, providing a walkway to I-don’t-know-what for the ten figures that passively stroll up into the sky to a non-specific destination, defying physics. Described by the artist as “a symbol for our collective search for wisdom and awakened consciousness,” the piece tells a story of just that. Becoming wise and enlightened takes walking a precarious route sometimes, sometimes the most improbable. Always exciting to see some work that makes a point of creating a public dialogue.

Works by Dan Flavin and Donald Judd, hosted by David Zwirner Gallery

In celebration of the Gallery’s 20 year Anniversary, a new, five-storied exhibition and project space will be opened at 537 West 20th Street. As pioneers of the post-war Minimalist movement, Flavin and Judd both created large scale installation work, often site specific and using material and light as methods of communicating a message. The minimalist works on display will be a mixture of pieces from both of the artists collections. The juxtaposed combination of these artists should prove to be quite breathtaking. This is sure to be a very special show!

6-8pm @ David Zwirner Gallery, 537 West 20th Street

Francis M. Nauman Fine Art Presents “Marcel Duchamp’s Nude Descending a Satircase: An Homage” 

    In celebration of the Armory Show’s Centennial, this group show features works inspired by the famous Duchamp painting, which made a huge impact at the first show 100 years ago.  For the duration of Armory Week, the pieces will be transferred to a booth at the Armory itself. This is an exciting opportunity to preview some of the work that will be on display at the legendary art fair.

Opening Reception 6-8pm @ Francis Nauman Gallery 24 West 57th Street, Suite 305.

Federico Solmi: Chines Democracy and the Last Day on Earth

Italian artist and Guggenheim fellow Federico Solmi uses technology borrowed and adapted from gaming technology to create a visually saturated, animated landscape that accents and focuses on the title piece, a video piece acted, voiced, and animated by the artist himself. Serving as a sequel to his previously showcased piece, A Song of Tyranny, the show uses a mixture of traditional and digital media. Very interested in seeing what this show has in store!

Opening Reception 6-8pm @ Postmasters Gallery. 459 W19th Street

Sunday, February 17th

Artist talk and Closing Reception: Painting and Flowers

As this show closes, take in the last opportunity to see this interesting combination of installation and painting. Featuring a mixture of paintings by Nolan Simon and alternating sculptural works created from floral materials, the show is paired with a closing lecture titled “Of Modern Roses” from contributing artist Virginia Poundstone. 

Reception 5-7pm @ Cleopatra’s, 110 Meserole Avenue (Greenpoint, Brooklyn)

    So there you have it. Whether you are out with your lover or getting weird with a bottle of wine by yourself, take some time to explore the ever expanding world of art this weekend.
