Anna and Bernhard Blume: Scenes from a Photo-Novel
at Peter Freeman, Inc. New York
Soho - New York, NY, USA
Jun 03, 16 - Jul 22, 16

Peter Freeman, Inc. is pleased to present Anna and Bernhard Blume: Scenes from a Photo-Novel, the first exhibition in New York dedicated to the couple’s work since their exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in 1989. For over 30 years, until Bernhard’s death in 2011, the Blumes collaborated on an ongoing photographic project, a philosophical critique of bourgeois life, for which they staged scenes of German middle-class domesticity gone mad, portraying themselves as the central characters. The situations, at once surreal and familiar, are presented in sequences and arrangements of prints—that the artists sometimes reconfigured from installation to installation in ways that subtly alter the meaning—and are marked by a wry, ironic humor. read more...

southwestNET Sama Alshaibi: Silsila
at Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art (SMoCA)
Scottsdale, AZ, USA
Jun 04, 16 - Sep 18, 16

Sama Alshaibi’s (b. 1973, Basra, Iraq) epic series of photographs and videos is named for the Arabic word silsila, or “link”—a simple noun describing a point of connection. As a verb, “link” also describes the act of joining two discrete units. Silsila represents the joining of individuals to one another, humans with the natural world, and the self to the divine. Inspired by the intrepid fourteenth century-explorer and scholar Ibn Bat奴tah, Alshaibi retraced his journeys through the Middle East, North Africa and the Maldives—a group of Southeast Asian islands threatened by rising sea levels. read more...

Confronting the Canvas: Women of Abstraction
at Museum of Contemporary Art, Jacksonville
Jacksonville, FL, USA
Jun 04, 16 - Sep 04, 16

ABSTRACT EXPRESSIONISM has historically been defined by male artists who rose to fame in post-World War II America. While women were practicing unique modes of painting alongside their male counterparts, they were given little emphasis or attention within the canon of art history both then and now. Confronting the Canvas: Women of Abstraction does not attempt to rewrite history, but instead it identifies and gives prominence to emerging and mid-career women working in the field of gestural abstraction today. read more...
