Thrush Holmes: All Lit Up On Wine
at Mike Weiss Gallery
Chelsea - New York, NY, USA
Jan 24, 14 - Mar 01, 14

Mike Weiss Gallery is pleased to present All Lit Up On Wine, the debut solo exhibition by Thrush Holmes. Splaying wood panels with exuberant spray paint and slapdash neon tubing, Holmes’ unapologetic methods elevate the still life, the reclining nude figure, and even poetry from their traditional banality to culty, fetishistic status. With the gestural fluidity of Twombly and the poetic dexterity of Basquiat, Holmes’ intuitive, swaggering practice reveals eccentric florals, brazen silhouettes, glowing prose, and monumental "TH" initials – an arresting display of drunken ego and flexing machismo, rife also with subtle romanticism and raw honesty. read more...

Material Transformations
at Museum of Contemporary Art, Jacksonville
Jacksonville, FL, USA
Jan 25, 14 - Apr 06, 14

The artists of Material Transformations — Angela Ellsworth, Paul Villinski — all uncover symbolism in the very unconventional substances they use to construct their works of art. They find inspiration in the stuff of life — items we frequently encounter, use, and discard with rarely a second thought, such as aluminum cans, cleaning sponges, construction debris, corsage pins, masking tape, office supplies, and wrapping paper. read more...

Alexandre Singh: The Humans
at Sprüth Magers London
London, UK

Alexandre Singh’s The Humans represents the culmination of years of study, writing, drawing and sculpting by the artist for the creation of a three act theatre play.

Curiosity: Art and the Pleasures of Knowing
at Newlyn Art Gallery
Newlyn, UK
Jan 25, 14 - Apr 26, 14

Curiosity: Art and the Pleasures of Knowing is a startling exhibition that moves wittily, sometimes mysteriously, between contemporary art, anatomy, Cold War secrets, the origins of museums and voyeurism in everyday life. Alongside the contemporary works, curated by Brian Dillon for Hayward Touring, we have invited Helston Folk Museum to present a selection of their curious items at The Exchange. Taking as a starting point the cabinets of curiosities that flourished throughout Europe in the 17th century, Curiosity is a detailed and spectacular meditation on the nature of wonder, fascination and inquiry. read more...

Only the Good Ones: The Snapshot Aesthetic Revisited
at Galerie Rudolfinum
Prague, Czech Republic
Jan 24, 14 - Apr 06, 14

The exhibition explores the extensive influence of the snapshot on variety of practitioners working in photography throughout the 20th Century and beyond, with particular focus on the last 25 years. The snapshot – a spontaneous capturing of a banal moment, minimally directed and with little regard for formal artistic or journalistic conventions, full of red-eyes, severed heads, leaky shutters and drugstore hyper-saturation – forms a fundamental part of the photographic production throughout the 20th century and today proliferates globally on social media. The exhibition tells the history of the snapshot aesthetic as a story of rigid artistic and commercial practice that has been repeatedly revitalized by the provocative intimacy of a diary, the poetry of everyday life and the fast and catchy undercurrent of the street, striking with the primitive force of an unpremeditated gesture. read more...
