We’ve All Got Issues
at MUTUALART and Newd Art Show
mutualart.com and Newd Art Show, Brooklyn, NY
May 29, 14 - Jun 12, 14

We’ve All Got Issues brings together a selection of diverse voices from the APT Collection. While video is capable of depicting general artistic devices such as abstraction (Mark Titchner’s UR Text 2), beauty (Kevin Cooley’s Nederland) poetry (Ezra Johnson’s The Time of Tall Statues) and humor (David Shrigley’s The Door), the medium is often used as a soap box to broadcast issues loud and far. While specific in origins that are often personal to the artist, these issues have the ability to transcend the local, as they appeal to our commonalities, addressing universal concerns such as family (Keren Cytter’s Family), missing persons (Suzanne Treister’s Vesna), the military (Elisabetta Benassi’s Noon) and being gay (Kalup Linzy’s The Pursuit of Gay (Happyness)). While the stories told here are multifarious in their approach, content and style, the experiences depicted resonate with our own, forging connections across space, time and culture. read more...

Derek Lerner: Convenient Gratification
at Robert Henry Contemporary
Brooklyn, NY, USA
May 30, 14 - Jun 29, 14

Derek Lerner's obsessive mark making builds dual perspectives organically as he expresses his attempt to reconcile conflicting feelings about human impact on our environment, including his own. Looking both biological and man-made, micro and macro, his lyrical compositions embody dualities, "…while in many ways my work is a reaction to over-consumption and environmental politics, the drawings themselves are yet another "thing" added to the world, made no less with materials that are potentially damaging to the environment." Although Lerner's work emphasizes the destructive nature of man, his work is evidence that beauty can be found in what humans make as well as what we destroy; and that it is perhaps unavoidable for humans to create without consuming at the same time. read more...

Christoph Draeger: Unforced Errors
at Galeria lokal_30
Warsaw, Poland
May 31, 14 - Jul 12, 14

Exactly three years have passed since Christoph Draeger’s first exhibition at lokal_30 in May 2011, in the gallery space in Foksal St. The show juxtaposed two joint projects by Draeger and Reynold Reynolds. The first was Apocalypso Place (2000), a video installation emanating the apocalyptic spirit of the turn of the centuries, comprising a reconstruction of a vandalised apartment and a sitcom-flavoured video with the dwellers of Apocalypso Place engrossed in TV coverage of catastrophes. The second – The Last News (2002) – was a coverage of the end of the world created as a reaction to the events of 9/11 in New York, mocking the way tragic events are presented in mass-media. read more...
