Thomas Eggerer: Gesture and Territory
at Friedrich Petzel Gallery
Chelsea - New York, NY, USA
Oct 10, 13 - Nov 09, 13

Petzel Gallery is pleased to announce an exhibition of new paintings by Thomas Eggerer.  In his fourth solo show at Petzel, the figure has undergone a dramatic shift in scale by moving from a once miniature representation to a life-size one. While drawing has always been a key component in Eggerer's painting, sumptuous color now plays a central role in relation to his drawing: the newly-enlarged figures are now embedded in expansive fields of color that have been poured, brushed, and scrubbed, effectively reversing the artist’s usual hierarchy of figure and ground. read more...

The Show is Over
at Gagosian Gallery, London (Britannia Street)
London, UK
Oct 15, 13 - Nov 30, 13

“The show is over.” Or is it? This exhibition is about abstraction and the end of painting, often proposed but never concluded. Christopher Wool’s statement in paintings, drawings and billboards, taken from Vasily Rozanov’s nineteenth century definition of nihilism, contains sufficient irony to suggest that painting itself, the spectacle that surrounds it, and the ultimate questions it poses about life and death, are never quite over. The negation of painting emerged in Europe after WWII in Francis Picabia’s last paintings, Lucio Fontana’s punctured and slashed Concetto spaziale paintings,

Tacita Dean: FILM
at Australian Center for Contemporary Art
Melbourne, Australia

Mount Analogue comes alive! Acclaimed international artist, Tacita Dean presents her masterwork, FILM. The first showing since its highly acclaimed debut in London as the Tate Turbine Hall Commission in 2012, Tacita Dean’s, FILM, is an epic, episodic homage to the analogue processes of celluloid cinema.  Unexpectedly turning the presentation of film into a vertical reel format, this awesomely scaled work reinvents and rescues the techniques of hand-made special effects and montage to reveal the artistry in film making. read more...

Louise Lawler: Adjusted
at Museum Ludwig, Cologne
Cologne, Germany
Oct 11, 13 - Jan 26, 14

Louise Lawler's photographs of works of art in museums, private collections, at auctions, or in storage emphasize the aspects that we usually fail to notice. They show just how much the meaning of art is shaped by its context, surroundings, and arrangement - and that there is no impartial way to present art. Astute, sometimes ironic, and never shy of debunking, for 30 years now this conceptual artist born in 1947 has analyzed the art system and all of its complex rules. read more...
