Howard Fonda: Everything and Nothing
at Mixed Greens
Chelsea - New York, NY, USA
Mar 20, 14 - Apr 19, 14
Mixed Greens is thrilled to announce Howard Fonda’s sixth solo exhibition with the gallery. In Everything and Nothing, he will exhibit a new series of largely autobiographical oil paintings and drawings. For Fonda, painting is a spiritual outpost, with the finished works existing as byproducts of instinct, thought, contemplation, and struggle. Sometimes purely formal, other times historical, philosophical, or metaphysical, Fonda’s paintings freely alternate between abstraction and figuration. read more...

The Divine Comedy
at MMK Zollamt
Frankfurt, Germany

In "The Divine Comedy: Heaven, Hell, Purgatory revisited by Contemporary African Artists", the MMK will serve as a stage for Dante’s Divine Commedy on 4,500 square metres of exhibition space. In this early fourteenth-century epic, which combines central notions of Christianity with religious concepts of antiquity, the Italian poet Dante Alighieri (1265–1321) explores theological, philosophical and moral issues which have lost nothing of their social and political topicality to this day. His work forms the foundation for the exhibition developed by curator Simon Njami in cooperation with the MMK and to be presented subsequently at four further venues worldwide. read more...

Arno Kramer: Longing - drawings
at De Pont Museum of Contemporary Art
Tilburg, Netherlands
Mar 22, 14 - May 18, 14
Arno Kramer (Winterswijk, 1945) is a draughtsman pur sang, who makes full use of the qualities and potential of his medium. His way of drawing is highly recognizable, not only due to the combination of abstract and figurative elements, but also because of the sensitive quality and melancholy atmosphere of his works, which have been characterized as 'delicate and vulnerable.' That characteristic also applies to the very large drawings that sometimes span entire walls. read more...

Transparent: Watercolour in Queensland 1850s-1980s
at Queensland Art Gallery
Brisbane, Australia
Mar 22, 14 - Jul 20, 14
‘Transparent’ explores the breadth and diversity of watercolours held in the Gallery’s Collection. It demonstrates the medium’s important role in Queensland’s visual history from its earliest colonial beginnings. The 1980s is considered by some to be watercolour’s most exuberant and expressionistic decade following an intense period of creativity in the 1960s and 1970s. The exhibition falls into major groupings: the early colonial era and late nineteenth century, modern watercolour developments in the early twentieth century, the challenges of World War Two, and the more recent development of a local strain of expressionism. read more...
