APEX: Margie Livingston
at Portland Art Museum, Oregon
Portland, OR, USA
Jul 25, 15 - Nov 15, 15
Seattle artist Margie Livingston makes sculptural objects out of paint, pouring gallons of acrylic to form skins that she hangs on nails, drapes over pegs, leans against the wall, piles like discarded laundry, and cuts into planks. Her paint is both object and subject鈥攊t may be a minimal abstract shape that stretched over an armature becomes a table, or it may seem like flesh but resemble a net or wooden paneled wall. The dichotomy between object and subject creates seductive, visceral, and mysterious works of art. read more...

at James A. Michener Art Museum
Doylestown, PA, USA

Through juxtapositions of newer and older work, Veils of Color: Juxtapositions and Recent Work by Elizabeth Osborne explores the arc of the artist's nearly six-decade career, a career of incredible artistic production and exploration distinguished by a subtle pas de deux between abstraction and realism, a duet that is both revealed and concealed by veils of color that wash across every canvas. The paintings in the exhibition demonstrate the power of color when at the command of Elizabeth Osborne鈥檚 brush. read more...
Lauren Gault & Allison Gibbs: fugue states
at The Centre for Contemporary Arts
Glasgow, UK
Jul 24, 15 - Sep 06, 15
Lauren Gault and Allison Gibbs come together for the first time in a two-person exhibition investigating the margins of sight, sense and connectedness. Positioning their research around the reception and transmission of information, the artists explore metaphysical and unverifiable qualities of materials, objects and processes to survey how the sensory may function; how it may have evolved. The exhibition has facilitated a communal, cross-continental enquiry, sharing research and writing into the properties (alchemical, technological, biological, biographical) of materials and objects, as well as imagery and forms suggestive of physical and psychological states 鈥 wet, dry, geographical, psychogenic. read more...
Alexis Boyle: New Works
at La Petite Mort Gallery
Ottawa, ON, Canada
Jul 24, 15 - Jul 30, 15
Darkness is the birthplace of all things鈥攖he damp earth, the seemingly empty space between stars, and the ripe pocket of the womb. In this exhibition, multi-disciplinary artist Alexis Boyle brings together heavenly stars and earthly bodies, through her meditation on plasma, the slippery fourth state of matter (alongside solids, liquids, and gases) that makes up over 99% of the universe. Present in our blood and in outer-space, plasma acts as a mighty conduit between all things, and is the housing of all future hatchlings. read more...

The CCA Andratx is pleased to present 鈥淵ard鈥, a solo exhibition by Gavin Turk.
