My Voice at the Pace of Drifting Clouds
at On Stellar Rays
Lower East Side - New York, NY, USA
Feb 22, 15 - Mar 29, 15
On Stellar Rays is pleased to announce the opening — on Sunday, February 22 — of Tamar Halpern’s first solo exhibition with the gallery, My Voice at the Pace of Drifting Clouds. Halpern presents new paintings on linen, using photography, collage, and ink-jet printing to build layered surfaces combining graphic elements and more atmospheric imagery. As with previous work, photography plays an essential role in Halpern’s studio, capturing simple visual information available in her immediate environment — walls, floors, water, textiles, a cat, a screen, the work itself — in an improvisational and nondiscriminatory manner that acknowledges the subjective nature of photography, while further actuating the fragmentary and non-specific nature of circulated images. read more...

Erwin Olaf: Waiting
at Flatland Gallery
Amsterdam, Netherlands
Feb 21, 15 - Apr 04, 15
Flatland Gallery is introducing Erwin Olaf's newest body of work, aptly titled “Waiting". “Waiting,” is both in keeping with the artist’s prior work and indicative of a new direction. Like earlier series, it continues to explore the dramatic potential of non-action, but it removes temporal uncertainty from the script. The choice of verb-form for the title—a gerund—is noteworthy, as it contains the sense of a moment-in-process. read more...

Past Disquiet

The International Art Exhibition for Palestine was inaugurated in Beirut (Lebanon), in March 1978, and was intended as the seed collection for a museum in exile.

Organized by the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), comprising almost 200 works, donated by 200 artists from nearly 30 countries, the exhibition remains one of the most ambitious, in scale and scope, to have ever been showcased in the Arab world until this day. read more...
