Chris “Daze” Ellis: The City is My Muse
at Museum of the City of New York
Harlem - New York, NY, USA
Apr 23, 2016 - May 31, 2016

Chris “Daze” Ellis (b. 1962) entered the world of art via graffiti writing, painting on the city’s streets and subway system in the late 1970s. In the early ‘80s, Daze turned his attention from the street to the studio, creating works on canvas that merged elements of street style with figurative painting. The City is My Muse presents recent works by this lifelong New Yorker that depict the vibrancy and vitality of the city he loves, combining abstract and representational forms to capture the energy of Times Square, the popular amusements of Coney Island, and the everyday people and places that inspire him. read more...

Apr 23, 2016 - Nov 06, 2016

Produced in close collaboration with San Francisco native Kay Sekimachi (b. 1926), a pioneer in the post-World War II fiber art movement, this exhibition offers a glimpse into the working processes of one of America’s most important weavers. The presentation includes a range of materials totaling over 30 artworks, from small studies to fully realized creations that trace Sekimachi’s evolution from student to artist.

Over the Wall is a group exhibition about love and other spaces of the imagination within systems and sites of oppression.

At the center of each work is a focus on creating a space for intimacy within a dehumanizing system. read more...

at Aspen Art Museum
Aspen, CO, USA
Apr 22, 2016 - Oct 30, 2016

Renowned artist Lynda Benglis grew up surrounded by lakes, rivers, and marshes in Lake Charles, Louisiana, and has long felt a deep connection to water. Working across diverse materials—both traditional (wax, bronze, and clay) and nontraditional (latex, rubber, and polyurethane foam)—Benglis has explored the form of the fountain since 1984. Her AAM exhibition consists of a series of working water fountains presented outdoors in the Roof Deck Sculpture Garden. read more...

Theaster Gates: Black Archive
at Kunsthaus Bregenz
Bregenz, Austria
Apr 23, 2016 - Jun 26, 2016

The head of the black baby doll is only a few centimeters high. The eyes are deep set, her gaze apparently forlorn; arms, torso, and legs remain hidden under the fabric of the pincushion. Theaster Gates has blown up the tiny neckless figure to a hugely oversized work on the third floor of the Zumthor building. It addresses issues of what being black means. read more...

Choi Jeong Hwa: Happy Together
at Kiasma, Museum of Contemporary Art
Helsinki, Finland
Apr 22, 2016 - Sep 18, 2016

Happy Happy by the Korean artist Choi Jeong Hwa takes the viewer into a colourful plastic jungle. A closer look reveals that the resplendent paradise consists in fact of chains of domestic appliances stretching from the ceiling to the floor. Choi builds his large installations by combining local and Korean, new and old, unique and mass-produced elements, blending Korean pictorial tradition with global consumer culture. From ordinary consumer goods, such as colourful plastic vessels and cheap toys, Choi builds experiential and immersive spaces. read more...

Andrea Fraser: L’1%, C'est moi
at Museu d'Art Contemporani de Barcelona
Barcelona, Spain
Apr 22, 2016 - Sep 04, 2016

What do we want from art? Andrea Fraser (Billings, Montana 1965) addresses this question in her work and looks at the motivations of a wide range of cultural agents including artists, collectors, gallerists, patrons and audiences. Associated with institutional critique, and informed by feminism, psychoanalysis and the sociologist Pierre Bourdieu’s theory of social fields, the core of Fraser’s work is a piercing analysis of the social fabric of the art world, exploring its internal mechanisms together with the political, economic and psychological structures that condition it. Fraser is one of the most provocative and influential artists of her generation. read more...
