Liam Everett: Montolieu
at On Stellar Rays
Lower East Side - New York, NY, USA
Mar 02, 14 - Apr 06, 14
On Stellar Rays is pleased to announce the opening — on Sunday, March 2, 2014 — of Liam Everett’s solo exhibition, Montolieu. Montolieu presents new large-scale paintings that — like Everett’s earlier body of work — are generated through a labor-intensive practice determined by temporal, material, and other self-imposed obstacles. Everett works on unstretched linen, building up layers of oil and acrylic paint in elaborate compositions that reflect the natural tendencies of the artists’ hand until a thick and uniform surface of paint is achieved. read more...

Todd James: Supernatural
at Gering and López Gallery
Chelsea - New York, NY, USA
Feb 27, 14 - Mar 29, 14
Todd James RING INC is pleased to present TODD JAMES: Supernatural, an exhibition of new paintings and drawings, and the artist’s third solo exhibition with the gallery. For this exhibition, James features his women: a colorful cast of warriors, sunbathers, sorcerers and girlfriends that have populated his work from its earliest years through today. Sometimes animated, sometimes relaxed, usually scantily clad and almost always humorous, these characters have proved to be emotional touchstones in a narrative that has balanced comedy and tragedy since the beginning of the artist’s career. read more...

at Thomas Erben Gallery
Chelsea - New York, NY, USA
Feb 27, 14 - Mar 29, 14

Combining formal clarity with a strong compassion for her subjects, Gill gives us a personal and straightforward view of the girls she portrays.

The Undulation of Something Faintly Familiar
at Anat Egbi Gallery
Los Angeles, CA, USA
Mar 01, 14 - Apr 05, 14
Peggy Ahwesh, Mike Kelley & Ericka Beckman, Sophie Lisa Beresford, Animal Charm, Deville Cohen, Petra Cortright, Jesse Fleming, Marc Horowitz, Timothy Hutchings, Josh Mannis, Alex Mcquilken, Stephen Neidich, Michele O’Marah, Peter Sebeckis, Pola Sieverding, Xaviera Simmons, Michael Smith, Molly Surno, Vanity Projects, + Surprise screenings. Last year while reading several of Nabokov’s novels, I kept coming across the word undulation. Fascinated by the wave-like repetition of the word, its sinuous form so suggestive of the way language itself conceals as much as it reveals, I began to conceive of the concept of this exhibition of all video and film works. read more...
Jordan McKenzie: Carl An(t)dre + LeWitt Lean
at Yorkshire Sculpture Park
Wakefield, UK
Mar 01, 14 - Apr 20, 14
In summer 2013, Jordan McKenzie’s performance Carl An(t)dre introduced 20 young people dressed as ants, accompanied by a marching band, promenading through YSP’s historic landscape creating structures inspired by Carl Andre’s infamous brick art work Equivalent VIII (1966). From March 2014 McKenzie will show two new films at YSP that examine the relationship of sculpture to performance practice and art history. read more...
Asger Jorn - Restless Rebel

Copenhagen, Denmark
Feb 28, 14 - Jun 15, 14
Get the whole story about Asger Jorn the artist. An internationally acclaimed artist, Asger Jorn’s work has been exhibited throughout the world. The major spring exhibition of 2014 at the SMK celebrates the 100th anniversary of his birth. Go to hell with your money bastard - That was Asger Jorn’s reply when he won the prestigious Guggenheim award in 1964. The quote is full of the unbridled devil-may-care attitude that is so characteristic of Jorn. read more...
Guillaume Pinard
at Galerie Anne Barrault
3e - Paris, France
Mar 01, 14 - Apr 05, 14
Here is Guillaume Pinard back at gallery Anne Barrault, bringing with him his multicolored introspective works, pouring them in a kind of spontaneous, wild urge. The man is known to use all kinds of mediums frenziedly (charcoal, animated film, drawing, written work…). Passionately ruminating, so you cannot doubt his mental good health. read more...
Alberto Giacometti: Drawings and Watercolours
at Kunsthaus Zürich
Zürich, Switzerland
Feb 28, 14 - May 25, 14
With the Bruno Giacometti bequest of 2012 to the Kunsthaus Zürich came a group of works covering the entire career of Alberto Giacometti (1901–1966), from the early years in Stampa to his Paris period, which has long held special meaning for the Giacometti family.

Art Post-Internet
at Ullens Center for Contemporary Art
Beijing, China
Mar 01, 14 - May 11, 14
Just as twentieth-century modernism was in large part determined by the relationship between craft and the emergent technologies of manufacturing, mass media, and lens-based imagery, the most pressing condition underlying contemporary culture today—from artistic practice and social theory to quotidian language—may well be the omnipresence of the internet. The term “post-internet” refers not to a time “after” the internet, but rather to an internet state of mind, to think in the fashion of the network. read more...
