Wong Kit Yi: Futures, Again
at P!
New York, NY, USA
Mar 08, 17 - Apr 12, 17
Once upon a time, there was a gallery called K. that lived in the storefront at 334 Broome Street where P! now stands. Its third exhibition, in Spring 2015, was by an artist named Wong Kit Yi. Her project, North Pole Futures, focused on an idiosyncratic financial, legal, and social proposition: the show offered intrepid collectors a chance to commission the artist to create a customized artwork at the North Pole. By selecting a color, an unusual word, and a specific date, each commissioner established a conceptual prompt for their individual piece, which Wong Kit Yi promised to complete during her upcoming Arctic residency. read more...

Matisse/Diebenkorn
at San Francisco Museum of Modern Art
San Francisco, CA, USA
Mar 11, 17 - May 29, 17
Presenting a new view of two of the twentieth century’s most extraordinary painters, Matisse/Diebenkorn is the first major exhibition to explore the profound inspiration Richard Diebenkorn (1922–1993) found in the work of Henri Matisse (1869–1954). It brings together 100 seminal paintings and drawings—40 by Matisse and 60 by Diebenkorn—that reveal the connections between the two artists in subject, style, color, and technique. The exhibition unfolds across the arc of Diebenkorn’s career—from early abstractions, through his Bay Area figurative years, to his majestic Ocean Park series—all in direct dialogue with works that he knew and admired by Matisse. read more...

Los Angeles, A Fiction
at Lyon Museum of Contemporary Art
Lyon, France
Mar 08, 17 - Jul 09, 17
The myth that is Los Angeles - the entertainment industry, landscape, imagery and literature - seems to have overtaken the reality. It is impossible to distinguish between reality and fiction, light and darkness, tragedy and joy. In our exploration, we soon began to look at the novelists and writers, in addition to the visual artists, who have given the city its distinctive character. The exhibition Los Angeles, a fiction presents the work of 34 artists from Los Angeles and 84 writers, of various ages, each of whom construct and deconstruct the city in their work: artists and authors participating in the creation of a Fiction. read more...
Carter: American Painting
at Galerie Georg Kargl
Vienna, Austria
Mar 10, 17 - Apr 29, 17
“I think one general misconception of my work is that it’s always a form of
self-portraiture. It really isn’t. It’s more the idea of portraiture that I’m
interested in“,[1] answers American artist and filmmaker
Carter when questioned in an interview about his painting and sculptural work.
In his earlier works, Carter used handmade, marbled paper as support
background and pasted-on synthetic hair as artificial representation of the
corporeal or joined photographs of meticulously decorated, bourgeois interiors
from the 1950s and ´60s alongside his signature floating heads, body fragments
and brushstrokes, more recently his artistic methods have been essentially
changed. read more...

Hera Buyuktasciyan: Write Injuries on Sand and Kindness in Marble
at Green Art Gallery
Dubai, United Arab Emirates
Mar 13, 17 - May 06, 17
Tiles spill out of a wall, gliding and oozing across the floor like viscous liquid, pooling into a flat expanse of marble bricks. Elsewhere, bronze arms gleam softly. Covered in marble mosaic pieces, they have the appearance of lustrous scales. On the floor, a great spine of marble slabs moves slowly in the rhythm of the tide, breathing in and out the sighs of yesterday and today. Water is nowhere, yet it is everywhere, an aquamorphological space in which past and present collide in a process of the invisible made visible. read more...
