date 11/20 - 22 The grand opening of the ms2 the new Muzeum's spaces
Muzeum Sztuki, Lodz [ Poland ]
IOnOne art | events | The grand opening of the ms2 the new Muzeum's spaces - Muzeum Sztuki Lodz [ Poland ] - 11/20 - 22 Muzeum Sztuki in Lodz owns one of the most interesting and rich collections of 20th and 21st century art in Europe, mostly from the area of experimental art. The primary value of the collection is its constant openness to modernity. The heart of the collection – setting its historical and aesthetical roots – is the International Collection of Modern Art of the “a.r.” group. It is a phenomenon on a global scale, as it has been initiated by the artists themselves and formed as a result of a joint effort to act beyond and against any boundaries. In thems2, the Muzeum’s collection would be arranged on the surface of 3000 m2 – certainly larger than in previous building. Formulation of the idea of permanent exhibition was preceded by the Drafts to the Collection of 20th and 21st Century Art: Art & Politics, Power of Formalism and Beyond the Reality Principle – three exhibitions showing works of art from a new perspective. The Drafts became a preview of the forthcoming permanent exhibition. Basic aim of the new idea is to constantly update and stimulate the potential of art presented in the museum. Therefore it breaks off from the chronological principle, as the works of art situated in this order become nothing more than an illustration of some epoch or artistic movement. The ms2 exhibition presents an artwork not only as a memento of the elapsed time, but also as an occurrence and a statement that is important for us today. The key that organizes the exhibition is represented by four groups of terms – crucial for interpreting contemporary culture, and on the other hand coming from the “a.r.” collection. Among them are such notions as: “utopia”, “image”, “body” or “phantasm”. As a result, the proposed narration offers the viewers an alternative form of perception of the 20th an 21st century art, that concentrates not on the historical context, but on the meaning of art, which can refer to problems significant for us nowadays.

date 11/18 - 3/15/09 Beyond Babylon: Art, Trade, and Diplomacy in the Second ...
The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, NY [ USA ]
IOnOne art | events | Beyond Babylon: Art, Trade, and Diplomacy in the Second Millennium B.C. The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, NY 11/18/08 - 3/15/09 Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Exhibition Hall, 2nd floor This exhibition will focus on the extraordinary art created as a result of a sophisticated network of interaction that developed among kings, diplomats, merchants, and others in the Near East during the second millennium B.C. Approximately 350 objects of the highest artistry from royal palaces, temples, and tombs—as well as from a unique shipwreck—will provide the visitor with an overview of artistic exchange and international connections throughout the period. From Syria, Mesopotamia, and Egypt in the south to Thrace, Anatolia, and the Caucasus in the north, and from regions as far west as mainland Greece all the way east to Iran, the great royal houses forged intense international relationships through the exchange of traded raw materials and goods as well as letters and diplomatic gifts. This unprecedented movement of precious materials, luxury goods, and people resulted in a total transformation of the visual arts throughout a vast territory that spanned the ancient Near East and the eastern Mediterranean. Because many of these works have either only recently been excavated or have never been shown abroad, Beyond Babylon is a singular opportunity for the public to experience the rich artistic and cultural traditions of this period. http://www.metmuseum.org/

The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, NY [ USA ]
IOnOne art | events | Art and Love in Renaissance Italy The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York 11/18/08 - 2/16/09 Key moments in the lives of Italian men and women in the Renaissance were marked by celebrations carried out with the greatest possible degree of magnificence. Of these, betrothal, marriage, and the birth of a child were of the utmost significance. Art and Love in Renaissance Italy, on view this fall at the Metropolitan Museum, will offer a unique look at approximately 150 art objects and paintings, dating from around 1400 to 1600, that were created to celebrate love and marriage. It will include exquisite examples of maiolica and jewelry given as gifts to couples, marriage portraits and paintings that extolled sensual love and fertility, such as the Metropolitan's own enus and Cupid by the great Venetian artist Lorenzo Lotto, and some of the rarest and most significant pieces of Renaissance glassware, cassone panels, birth trays, and drawings and prints of amorous subjects. http://www.metmuseum.org/

Mercilessly caricatured in Citizen Kane, Hearst in reality was a populist multimillionaire who crusaded against political corruption. He fostered simultaneous excellence and sensationalism in reporting, transformed the graphic design of newspapers, and was in the vanguard of the development of newsreels. Hearst also became a conspicuous movie producer, a voracious collector, and an outstanding benefactor of the early Los Angeles County Museum.

The exhibition will bring to light a remarkable period in the early years of the Soviet Union when innovative visual artists, including Marc Chagall, Natan Altman, and Robert Falk joined forces with avant-garde playwrights, actors, and theatrical producers to create a theater experience with extraordinary mass appeal. Through paintings, costume and set designs, posters, photographs, film clips and theater ephemera – many of which have never been exhibited before- Chagall and the Artists of the Russian Jewish Theater, 1919-1949 will capture an exhilarating but fleeting moment in the cultural history of the Soviet Union. http://www.thejewishmuseum.org/

IOnOne art | events | Alexander Calder: The Paris Years, 1926-1933 Whitney Museum of American Art Alexander Calder is one of the most beloved, important, and critically acclaimed artists of the twentieth century. A highly focused historical show with the spirit of a young artist’s first retrospective, Alexander Calder: The Paris Years, 1926–1933 explores a time when, from the ages of 27 to 34, Calder created his first wire drawings in space, performed his Circus (made in Paris 1926–31 and part of the Whitney’s permanent collection), and invented his signature mobiles. 10/16/08 - 2/15/09
date 10/11 - 1/4/09 Brought to Light: Photography and the Invisible, 1840-1900
San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, CA [ USA ]
IOnOne art | events | Brought to Light: Photography and the Invisible, 1840-1900 San Francisco Museum of Modern Art 10/11/08 - 1/4/09 This exhibition will explore the use of photography in 19th-century science, considering in particular the representation of phenomena invisible to the naked eye. Over the course of the 19th century, scientists—both amateur and professional—applied the camera to the microscope and telescope, photographing worlds both infinitesimally small and unimaginably large. The exhibition not only will include examples of these groundbreaking scientific experiments, but will investigate some of photography’s pseudo-scientific uses, including spirit photography, whose practitioners used the X-ray’s ability to picture invisible objects as a means of lending credence to their own claims of ghosts and other supernatural phenomena. Consisting of approximately 150 vintage photographs, many of which have never before been exhibited in the United States, the exhibition will include works made between 1839 and 1900 by both noted scientists and amateur experimenters.

date 9/27 - 1/4/09 PICASSO & WOMEN
ARKEN Museum of Modern Art, Copenhagen [ Denmark ]
PICASSO & WOMEN - ARKEN Museum of Modern Art, Copenhagen [ Denmark ] 9/27 - 1/4/09 Picasso cultivated art, women and the erotic all in one. Women were his favourite subject. ARKEN's second special exhibition, PICASSO & WOMEN, shows 81 intense, intimate graphic works that give us a close-up of Picasso as a man, as a human being and as an artist. The printed sheets are like pages from a diary. We follow not only Picasso's life, but also his thoughts, moods, interests and artistic deliberations. Behind the many and varied styles and idioms of the prints we can recognize his succes¬sion of mistresses, wives, models and muses. THE EROTIC AND BEYOND The subjects range from portraits of the women in Picasso's life through book illustrations to situations between man and woman, between artist and model, between artist and viewer. Many disguised self-portraits appear with the women in the pictures: we see Picasso as a young boy, as a practicing artist or as the Minotaur he liked to identify with. Picasso's last graphic series incline almost towards the pornographic, but they are always about more than sexuality. For Picasso the erotic urge is inextricably bound up with the creative urge of the artist. The works in PICASSO & WOMEN are therefore also about art as such: about creating art, varying artistic expres¬sion and viewing art. MASTER OF TECHNIQUES The exhibition ranges over the whole of Picasso's career as an artist and as a printmaker with works from 1905 until 1970. There are examples of all the most important graphic techniques he revelled in: etching, drypoint, lithography, aquatint and linocut. All the prints have been lent by the Israel Museum, Jerusalem. PICASSO & WOMEN has been organized by the Israel Museum, Jerusalem, in collaboration with ARKEN Museum of Modern Art.
date 9/18 - 1/4/09 Double Down: Two Visions of Vegas
The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, San Francisco, CA [ USA ]
IOnOne art | events | Double Down: Two Visions of Vegas at The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA), San Francisco, CA - 9/18/08 - 1/4/09 From September 18, 2008 to January 4, 2009, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA) will present Double Down: Two Visions of Vegas. The exhibition offers a concise portrait of America’s most spectacular fantasy environment—and fastest growing city—by juxtaposing two recent video works: Olivo Barbieri’s site specific_LAS VEGAS 05 (2005, 13 min.) and Stephen Dean’s No More Bets (2004, 7 min.) The two works will be shown in sequence on facing walls. Las Vegas has reinvented itself many times—from desert outpost to Sin City, from family fun center to mega-resort— yet has managed through all of these incarnations to retain its uniquely ambivalent status in our cultural imagination. Part utopia and part dystopia, part dream and part nightmare, Las Vegas captures in its very structure the heady mix of optimism, gumption and foolhardiness that is uniquely American. Barbieri films Las Vegas from a helicopter using a tilt-focus lens that renders objects out of scale and transforms the city’s landmarks into toy-like simulacra. Emphasizing the city’s isolation as well as its antipathy for empty spaces and blank surfaces, Barbieri’s camera travels along the desert outskirts of the city before arriving at its nerve center, the Las Vegas Strip. The Hoover Dam, The Luxor Hotel, the skyscrapers of New York-New York Hotel: these monuments are shown as uncertain doubles of the icons we know them to be ...

IOnOne art | events | Landscapes Clear and Radiant: The Art of Wang Hui (1632–1717) The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, NY 9/9/08 - 1/4/09 Galleries for Chinese Painting and Calligraphy, 2nd floor, north wing Wang Hui, the most celebrated painter of late 17th-century China, played a key role in reinvigorating past traditions of landscape painting as well as in establishing the stylistic foundations for the imperially sponsored art of the Manchu Qing court. An artist of protean talent and immense artistic ambition, Wang developed an all-embracing synthesis of historical landscape styles that constituted one of the greatest innovations in the arts of late imperial China. The exhibition will feature 27 masterpieces by Wang Hui from the Taipei and Beijing Palace Museums, the Shanghai Museum, and several North American collections, including five outstanding works from the Metropolitan's permanent collection. These 27 paintings will be complemented by a selection of earlier landscapes from the Song (960–1279), Yuan (1279–1368), and Ming (1368–1644) dynasties, mostly drawn from the Museum’s holdings, that will highlight the sources of Wang Hui’s inspiration. The exhibition is made possible by The Miriam and Ira D. Wallach Foundation. The catalogue is made possible by the Joseph Hotung Fund and The Dillon Fund. http://www.metmuseum.org/
date 9/6 - 1/11/09 THE TRIUMPH OF DESIRE - Danish and international Surrealism
ARKEN Museum of Modern Art, Copenhagen [ Denmark ]
IOnOne art | events | THE TRIUMPH OF DESIRE - Danish and international Surrealism - ARKEN Museum of Modern Art, Copenhagen [ Denmark ] 9/6 - 11/1/09 THE TRIUMPH OF DESIRE is the title of ARKEN's major autumn exhibition. The Surrealists cultivated sexual drives and the unconscious in order to liberate society and the individual from the conventions of the period. Surrealism chal¬lenged the norms and taboos of the age. In so doing it had an epoch-making and enduring influence on visual art and culture. ARKEN's exhibition shows the dialogue between Danish and international Surrealism. OVERWHELMED Surrealism was one of the most influential and spectacular currents of the twen¬tieth century. The movement arose in Paris in the 1920s and inundated the rest of Europe in the 1930s. The Danish art scene too was overwhelmed by the wild ideas of the Surrealists. The Danish artists soaked up inspiration from the wide world outside and several of them exhibited together with the major international Surrealist artists both in Denmark and abroad. THE TRIUMPH OF DESIRE dusts off Danish Surrealism and makes the connec¬tions with the turbulent, phantasmagorical universe of the inter¬national Surrea¬lists. The exhibition shows works by Danish artists like Freddie, Bille, Sonja Ferlov Mancoba, Vilhelm Bjerke Petersen, Henry Heerup and Asger Jorn in the context of works by among others Salvador Dalí, René Magritte, Man Ray, Max Ernst, Joan Miró and Jean Arp. THE EROTIC With its focus on the erotic in nature and everyday life, THE TRIUMPH OF DESIRE reinterprets Danish Surrealism in an international perspective, with the latest research as a guide. The works in the exhibition show how Danish Surrea¬lism participated in the European currents of the period and at the same time established an independent position: from the fluid natural forms and explicitly sexual motifs of the 1930s to the budding CoBrA art of the early 1940s. The exhibition shows more than 130 paintings, drawings, sculptures, objects, photo¬graphs and collages. It also documents the relations between Danish and inter¬national Surrealism through periodicals, texts and exhibition catalogues. The¬ works have been lent out by central Danish and international museums as well as galleries and private collectors in Denmark and abroad.

San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, CA [ USA ]
IOnOne art | events | Looking at Music San Francisco Museum of Modern Art - 8/13/08 - 1/5/09 In the 1960s, the decade that saw astronauts land on the moon, artists were likewise seeking to expand boundaries of time and space and to have new experiences. At the same time, portable video equipment reached the consumer market—suddenly simultaneity and now, the present and the past, became content. Musicians led the way in developing new working methods, and music was at the forefront of interdisciplinary experimentation during the early days of media art. This exhibition looks at the dynamic connections that occurred from the mid-1960s to the mid-1970s with a display of early media works by Nam June Paik, Bruce Nauman, Steve Reich, Joan Jonas, Yoko Ono, Laurie Anderson, and David Bowie presented alongside related drawings, prints, and photographs by John Cage, Jack Smith, Ray Johnson, and others. http://www.sfmoma.org/

British Museum, London [ UK ]
IOnOne art | events | Hadrian: Empire and Conflict This special exhibition explores the life, love and legacy of Rome’s most enigmatic emperor, Hadrian (reigned AD 117–138). Ruling an empire that comprised much of Europe, northern Africa and the Middle East, Hadrian was a capable and, at times, ruthless military leader. He realigned borders and quashed revolt, stabilising a territory critically overstretched by his predecessor, Trajan. Hadrian had a great passion for architecture and Greek culture. His extensive building programme included the Pantheon in Rome, his villa in Tivoli and the city of Antinoopolis, which he founded and named after his male lover Antinous. This unprecedented exhibition provides fresh insight into the sharp contradictions of Hadrian’s character and challenges faced during his reign. Objects from 28 museums worldwide and finds from recent excavations are shown together for the first time to reassess his legacy, which remains strikingly relevant today. 24 July – 26 October 2008 Daily 10.00–17.30 (last entry 16.20) Open late on Thursdays and Fridays until 20.30 (last entry 19.20) http://www.britishmuseum.org/

Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, NY [ USA ]
IOnOne art | events Buckminster Fuller: Starting with the Universe Whitney Museum of American Art 6/26 - 9/21 One of the great American visionaries of the twentieth century, R. Buckminster Fuller (1895-1983) endeavored to see what he, a single individual, might do to benefit the largest segment of humanity while consuming the minimum of the earth's resources. Doing more with less was Fuller's credo. He described himself as a comprehensive anticipatory design scientist, setting forth to solve the escalating challenges that faced humanity before they became insurmountable. Fuller's innovative theories and designs addressed fields ranging from architecture, the visual arts, and literature to mathematics, engineering, and sustainability. He refused to treat these diverse spheres as specialized areas of investigation because it inhibited his ability to think intuitively, independently, and, in his words, comprehensively. Although Fuller believed in utilizing the latest technology, much of his work developed from his inquiry into how nature builds. He believed that the tetrahedron was the most fundamental, structurally sound form found in nature; this shape is an essential part of most of his designs, which range in scale from domestic to global. As the many drawings and models in this exhibition attest, Fuller was committed to the physical exploration and visual presentation of his ideas. The results of more than five decades of Fuller's integrated approach toward the design and technology of housing, transportation, cartography, and communication are displayed here, much of it for the first time. This exhibition offers a fresh look at Fuller's life's work for everyone who shares his sense of urgency about homelessness, poverty, diminishing natural resources, and the future of our planet. - Jennie Goldstein http://www.whitney.org

24th annual Chelsea International Fine Art Competition
Since opening in 1984, Agora Gallery has established itself as a hub for innovative and talented emerging and mid-career artists from around the world.  Keeping with its tradition of discovering and nurturing artists new to the alluring but highly competitive New York art scene, Agora Gallery will hold its 24th annual Chelsea International Fine Art Competition, starting February 5, 2009.  Not only will selected artists gain exposure by exhibiting their work in the famed Chelsea art community, the competition will be juried by an influential voice in the art world, Mr. Ira Goldberg, Executive Director, The Art Students League of New York.
On March 20th 2009 the names of the winning artists will be announced. Selected artists will be eligible to receive awards valued at $38,000, including several cash prizes, internet promotion on the website www.Art-Mine.com and a one-page review with two color images in ARTisSpectrum magazine. In addition, Mr. Ira Goldberg, Executive Director, The Art Students League of New York, will select the work of 15-20 artists to participate in a group exhibition at Agora Gallery.
Seizing the opportunity to be seen on the Chelsea art scene is one that the artist Marisa Atha, who resides in Sacramento, California, could not resist. After being one of last year’s selected artists (Digital), she was elected to be represented by Agora Gallery.
"Deboarding the plane from California, I was curious whether the trip, and the gallery specifically, would live up to my expectations.  I walked into the evening reception for the 23rd Chelsea International Art Competition Exhibition, and realized just how honored I was to show my work in such a place.  Agora Gallery is a stark, beautiful canvas just waiting to adorn itself with the artwork of the most talented modern artists from so many different countries.  This competition allowed me the opportunity to later become represented by the gallery for a year, which I was happy to accept.  Working with such a professional and gifted staff has, and will be, my pleasure." (Marisa Atha, USA)  

Agora Gallery director Angela Di Bello believes that participating in the Chelsea International Fine Art Competition takes courage and is an act of faith and belief in ones own talent and strengths. “Anyone who simply enters the competition is a winner,” she says.
The Chelsea International Fine Art Competition represents not just artists, but the countries and communities they hail from, each piece reflecting a little of humanity's many faceted soul. Out of respect for this and in an effort to grant joy to children in need, 25% of Agora Gallery's proceeds of sales resulting from the competition exhibition will be donated to Art Start, an award-winning, nationally recognized program. Art Start works with children and teens facing the daily uncertainties and instabilities of living in homeless shelters. Though these children face many obstacles, they have dreams. Art start uses the arts to provide them with opportunities for success. It gives them the tools, structure, support and most importantly a chance to be heard. The competition deadline is March 10th 2009. Entries should ideally be submitted online. [ read more ] »

Hadrian: Empire and Conflict
This special exhibition explores the life, love and legacy of Rome’s most enigmatic emperor, Hadrian (reigned AD 117–138). Ruling an empire that comprised much of Europe, northern Africa and the Middle East, Hadrian was a capable and, at times, ruthless military leader. He realigned borders and quashed revolt, stabilising a territory critically overstretched by his predecessor, Trajan. Hadrian had a great passion for architecture and Greek culture. His extensive building programme included the Pantheon in Rome, his villa in Tivoli and the city of Antinoopolis, which he founded and named after his male lover Antinous. This unprecedented exhibition provides fresh insight into the sharp contradictions of Hadrian’s character and challenges faced during his reign. Objects from 28 museums worldwide and finds from recent excavations are shown together for the first time to reassess his legacy, which remains strikingly relevant today ... [ read more ] »

„Fairytale of Berlin“ art exhibition
The art exhibition project "Fairytale of Berlin" has been initiated by a collaboration of Kultur Vesterbro and the Berlin-based curators Janine Bean, Katja Patt and the Berlinbased gallerist Matthias Bergemann. The cooperation originated from the common interest in young artists and groundbreaking contemporary art from Berlin. In this fall they bring contemporary art from Berlin to Copenhagen! The exhibition "Fairytale of Berlin" consists of painting as well as installation, drawing, mixed media and photography from 11 young artists currently living in Berlin.
The works will be presented on the wall, on the floor, in the hallway and outdoors in a thematically ordered fashion. The curators purposely chose Berlin-born artists as well as national and international "art-exiles" - the chosen artists have their origins in Germany, Romania, Canada, Switzerland, Bulgaria and the United States. They identify with living and working in Berlin in the most different of ways, all together creating a subtle and fresh approach: Berlin as a new or old home is the source of inspiration and friction. For this exhibition the artists will tell their own "Fairytale of Berlin" through their various perspectives.
The exhibition will be placed at Rĺhuset from September 7th to September 24th, 2008. Rĺhuset is an intimate underground venue house located at Kulturstaldende at the district Vesterbro in Copenhagen. It has about the size of 350 sqm spread over two floors and its interior offers an unique possibility for the different genres to create their own special expression ... [ read more ] »

Los Angeles - February 2008 - Scion, in conjunction with Pablo Aravena, proudly presents Nomadaz - A Mediterranean Art Connection Exhibition at the Scion 4,500 square foot Los Angeles Installation Gallery. Aravena is the filmmaker behind "Next: A Primer in Urban Painting." Nomadaz brings together four Italian and four Spanish artists, to show off their Mediterranean flavor on U.S. shores. Featured artists from Spain are Sixe, Nuria, Nano 4814, Eltono, all of whom have their roots in graffiti and street art. Their style and work has evolved to encompass other styles and formats including sculpture, interior design, illustration, advertising, branding and institutional projects. The Italian artists include Microbo, Bo130, Dem and 108. The exhibition will comprise of new work as well as site specific installations.
"While I was filming NEXT, I had a chance to meet many great artists along the way," explained Aravena. "I first realized that there was a Mediterranean connection when I met Microbo along with Sixe, Nuria, Nano and Eltono in Madrid. There was a strong personal/artistic connection there. These guys are all very different but they all know each other, having painted with each other all over. I thought it would be great concept to match them up again and bring in some new people like Dem and 108. I wanted to see what they would come up with if they got to play with a big space together." In terms of individual style, this is a varied group of artists; however, together they represent a significant, contemporary artistic practice of working in both the street and gallery settings in Italy and Spain. The exhibition title, Nomadaz, represents the way of life of the featured artists - always traveling and moving to paint, often along the Mediterranean. For this exhibition, these art nomads descend on Los Angeles for the first time. [ read more ] »

While remaining true to these roots, Scrawl has expanded over the years picking up new artists along the way and developing the breadth and scope of their work as they go. Scrawl Collective has built up a formidable global reputation for its live art and installation shows and a ready market for its paintings and prints.
