Charles Lutz: Ends and Means
at C24 Gallery
New York, NY, USA
Jan 17, 13 - Mar 01, 13

Ends and Means brings together a group of related paintings and sculptures that exemplify Lutz鈥檚 investigation into the value structures of American identity. Each group of works is derived from a relationship to the American experience - its abstraction of value and transience - both monetarily and morally. The first group of paintings are constructed from stretched canvas and linen bags once used for transporting currency; they are reminiscent of Robert Rauschenberg's Combine paintings from the early 1970's. read more...

at Haunch of Venison, New York
Midtown - New York, NY, USA

This exhibition examines the work of five artists who present the trajectory of humanity not as a refinement but as an endless return to a base nature. Across painting, sculpture and video, the human animal is presented as resourceful and sophisticated but fundamentally incapable of bettering itself. read more...

Open Sesame
at apexart
Soho - New York, NY, USA
Jan 17, 13 - Mar 02, 13

The Iraqi invasion of Kuwait on August 2, 1990, and the Gulf wars that ensued, contributed to violence that is still very much a part of the region today, twenty-two years later. These wars have shaped the future of a generation of teenagers from the region, whom I call the Open Sesame generation, a generation of which I am a part. Now adults, many members of this generation's lives were dramatically changed by the invasion, in one way or another, and refer to it as a turning point, the end of childhood; the end of the age innocence. read more...

Santa Clara, CA, USA
Jan 18, 13 - Mar 17, 13

at The Art Institute of Chicago
Loop - Chicago, IL, USA

The path that led Irving Penn to the seemingly galactic abstractions of his late seriesUnderfoot聽lay just outside his studio door. Walking the streets of Manhattan with a portable stool and a camera fitted with several extension tubes, Penn lowered his eye and his equipment nearly to the pavement.
