Lisa Alonzo: Vanilla Scented Sovereignty
at Claire Oliver Gallery
New York, NY, USA
Mar 27, 14 - Apr 26, 14

In Lisa Alonzo's candy colored confections, heavy with thick frosting, shiny glazes and obsessive decoration, the destructive nature of the object is subverted in its seductive presentation. The Artist's unique visual language juxtaposes desire, enticement, and abundance through her medium with a more threatening side of contemporary culture through her subject matter. In Vanilla Scented Sovereignty, the realities behind her whip cream coated dream world become even more poignant by our enticing introduction to them; Alonzo's works appear to be made of sugary sweet frosted cake, but in actuality they are made of acrylic plastic paint. read more...

Dan Hernandez: Genesis 2014
at Kim Foster Gallery
Chelsea - New York, NY, USA
Mar 27, 14 - Apr 26, 14

We are pleased to announce Dan Hernandez’s second solo exhibition at the Kim Foster Gallery. The exhibit’s title ”Genesis 2014” refers to the artist’s on-going visual dialogue of religion, mythology, and pop culture. Hernandez blurs boundaries, rearranges hierarchies, and calls into question our notions of iconography, collectibles, violence and devotion. The title not only references the biblical Book of Genesis, but also the video game console Sega Genesis that was a defining moment in pop culture, especially for those in the artist’s generation. read more...

When the Stars Begin to Fall: Imagination and the American South
at The Studio Museum in Harlem
Harlem - New York, NY, USA
Mar 27, 14 - Jun 29, 14

When the Stars Begin to Fall: Imagination and the American South queries the category of “outsider” art in relation to contemporary art and black life. Situating itself within current art historical and political debates, the exhibition considers work by self-taught, spiritually inspired and incarcerated artists, alongside other projects based in performance, socially engaged practice and the archive, as well as painting, drawing, sculpture and assemblage, that make insistent reference to place. With the majority of work having been made between 1964 and 2014, the exhibition brings together a group of thirty-five intergenerational American artists who share an interest in the U. read more...

Press: Artist & Machine
at Kentucky Museum of Art and Craft
Louisville, KY, USA
Mar 29, 14 - Jun 01, 14

The exhibition PRESS: Artist and Machine will connect the human action of pressing and applying pressure on the one hand, to the weight and power of the machine press on the other. Through photos, books, prints, sculptures, and contemporary art installations KMAC will examine a series of labor processes that have informed and shaped our surrounding culture for centuries. Anchoring the show is an exploration of the historical use of the printing press and it’s ongoing relationship to art, music, literature, and material culture. read more...

The Lost World of Norman Cornish
at Kings Place Gallery
London, UK
Mar 24, 14 - Jul 25, 14

Norman Stansfield Cornish was 65 when he wrote his autobiography. He called it ‘A Slice of Life’ and indeed it was just that although one could say that it was brought into being a little prematurely given that a further three decades of remarkable activity were to follow its publication. He was born in 1919, one year after the end of the First World War and seven years before the General Strike. read more...

Harriet Aston: Slight Bruising
at Centrespace Gallery
Bristol, UK
Mar 28, 14 - Apr 02, 14

An exhibition of  large paper sculptures sprouting from the walls and floor of the gallery. The coloured skin like surfaces explain the ‘Slight Bruising’ of the title. Some have burst and peeled open, spread like giant butterfly shapes or elephants ears, either pinned or floating free. The free standing works have either split like seed pods and opened offering sheltered recesses, or are tightly closed like standing stones with deep folds or fissures revealing glimpses of contrasting colour within. read more...

Jacob Tækker: Apophenia Cloud Travel Apparatus
at Overgaden - Institut for Samtidskunst
Amager - Copenhagen, Denmark
Mar 28, 14 - May 18, 14

The absurdity of existence and loss of control are recurring themes in Jacob Taekkers (b. 1977) computer-based works that combine video, performance and installation. In this exhibition Overgaden's space is transformed into a framework for a projected surreal landscape that changes meaning, look and feel depending on from where you see it. Wearing a specially designed helmet that both constitutes a projection screen and limits one's vision, the audience must move around in the work as an explorer to piece together the individual scenes into a larger narrative, which can not be read clearly and therefore depends on one’s own associations and ability to empathise. read more...

Raised and educated in Taiwan’s traditional cultural environment, Huang Zhiyang currently lives in Beijing. His art relates to neo-Confucian, Taoist and Buddhist organicistic cosmologies based on traditional concepts such as the balance of opposites, cyclic flows of matter and energy, and the dependent co-arising of coherence and order. read more...

Journeys
at The Israel Museum, Jerusalem
Jerusalem, Israel
Mar 28, 14 - Feb 07, 15

We take one step, and then another, and yet another. Sometimes we keep our eyes on the path and the signposts; occasionally we look out at the distant horizon. There, dimly glimpsed, lies our destination, but for now a long road lies between the place we have left behind and the place we hope to reach. We carry on, like the brave travelers of the past: the first prehistoric men and women who left Africa for Asia, the generations of pilgrims determined to visit the Holy Land, and the adventurous explorers who set out without knowing what they would find. read more...
