Richard Kalina
at Lennon, Weinberg, Inc.
Chelsea - New York, NY, USA
Feb 20, 14 - Mar 29, 14

In each of his ten exhibitions at the gallery since 1993, Richard Kalina’s boundless curiosity has produced something new in the work. Twenty years ago, he was working with biomorphic forms in transparent pigments over a collage of photocopied newsprint. Over the next five years, these elements became denser and much more complicated. read more...

Mushrooms, Moss, and a Movie
at Kim Foster Gallery
Chelsea - New York, NY, USA
Feb 20, 14 - Mar 22, 14

We are pleased to present drawings by Jim Toia, paintings by Blanche Nettles Powers, and videos by Peter O’Kennedy. In addition to referencing nature, all three artists share a common bond in their methodologies. O’Kennedy’s videos record the serendipitous traces of his subject; just as Toia and Nettles Powers record traces of mushroom spores and Spanish moss. They all rely partially on chance occurrences. read more...

Public Intimacy: Art and Other Ordinary Acts in South Africa
at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts
San Francisco, CA, USA
Feb 21, 14 - Jun 29, 14

Disrupting expected images of South Africa, the 25 contemporary artists and collectives featured in Public Intimacy eloquently explore the poetics and politics of the everyday. This collaboration with Yerba Buena Center for the Arts presents pictures from SFMOMA’s collection of South African photography alongside works in a broad range of media, including video, painting, sculpture, performance, and publications — most made in the last five years, and many on view for the first time on the West Coast. Coinciding with the 20th anniversary of democracy in South Africa, Public Intimacy reveals the nuances of human interaction in a country still undergoing significant change, vividly showing public life there in a more complex light. read more...

Environmental Impact
at Kalamazoo Institute of Arts
Kalamazoo, MI, USA
Feb 22, 14 - May 04, 14

The powerful art in this exhibition heightens public consciousness about the intentional or unintentional consequences of environmental exploitation and neglect. Traditional landscape art depicts nature in all its glory in beautiful, pristine condition. The paintings, photographs, and sculptures of Environmental Impact, instead, confront pressing issues of our time, from land development to industrial-scale depletion of natural resources, from the Gulf oil spill to the dangers of nuclear energy, the trashing of the American landscape, and the impact of global warming. read more...

Jason Larkin: Tales from the City of Gold
at Flowers, Kingsland Road
London, UK
Feb 21, 14 - Mar 29, 14

A city built on gold, Johannesburg was founded in 1886, when settlers and immigrants descended on the largest reef of the precious metal ever to be discovered. The area transformed quickly into a mining mecca. Within fifty years, over three hundred thousand people were working in gold mines across the city. This vast and rapid expansion reflected the increasing global thirst for gold as a commodity and helped fuel a government that changed South Africa forever. read more...

Andre Petterson ">Andre Petterson
at Bau-Xi Gallery - Vancouver
Vancouver, BC, Canada
Feb 22, 14 - Mar 08, 14

Petterson attempts to capture the essence of a split-second in time.  His current photography-based work explores various themes of lighting to create elements of mystery. Rembrandt and the Dutch masters’ use of light have strongly influenced Petterson; important elements are highlighted and the mind must fill in the rest.  Fabric and movement are also subjects of fascination for the artist. read more...

Sean Henry
at Galleri Andersson Sandström Stockholm
Stockholm, Sweden
Feb 20, 14 - Mar 30, 14

Sean Henry’s distinctive figurative sculpture confronts the humanity in everyday men and women. His figures are both highly physical – each has a strong, individual, material presence - and also introspective. It is a combination that both seduces and challenges the viewer. His new exhibition at Galleri Andersson/Sandström unveils the most recent works by this internationally aclaimed artist. read more...

at Art Gallery of New South Wales
Sydney, Australia
Feb 20, 14 - Aug 03, 14

Sol LeWitt (America, 1928–2007) was one of the most influential artists of his generation. A pioneer of conceptual art, he forged a new way of thinking about making art. 'In conceptual art the idea or concept is the most important aspect of the work’, LeWitt wrote in a landmark essay in 1967. This exhibition showcases 40 years of LeWitt’s practice, including many works shown in Australia for the first time. read more...
