GALLERY twenty-four is now expanding its artist representation program to its Berlin location. Based on the model of its New York program, the gallery will now be providing 1 - 3 year representation in its new Berlin-Mitte location.
The new space, located in the heart of the established Berlin gallery district, will be able to accommodate works from 10 permanent artists. To be considered for this program, artists must demonstrate the ability to consistently produce high quality artwork and provide evidence of sound exhibition and sales history.
The Academy of Arts opened the exhibition “SPACE. Sites for Art” on February 23, 2007. It is the conclusion of an interdisciplinary project that has run for three years. The project began with the “prologue” to the opening of the new building on Pariser Platz and continued with an international symposium and a whole series of events. The central theme of the exhibition is the question of the relationship between space and site in the arts of the 20th and beginning 21st centuries.
This takes up, on the one hand, an artistic problem and, on the other, also the answer of the arts to a global change in our society. Art has become site-less – and not just since the emergence of virtual media. Already since the beginning of the 20th century, the arts increasingly connect depictions of space with an examination of their own site. With the disappearance of the unquestioned hierarchy of societal sites in modernism, art lost not only its commission to represent, but also the foundation of its traditional understanding of itself.
Viveza Art Experience, 2604 Western Ave., presents 'Arterial: Organic Intersections of the New Cityscape.'
This evocative exhibit runs through Wednesday, February 21 to March 18, 2007 and offers a diverse collection of works by award-winning artist Christopher Santer, mixed-media artist Brian Scott Campbell and prolific painter Jeff Koegel. All three artists will be in attendence at the opening reception from 6 to 10 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 23.
Giovanni Francesco Barbieri (1591-1666), nicknamed Guercino (“squinter”) after a childhood incident left him cross-eyed, is regarded as one of the most significant Italian artists of the Baroque period. A prolific and fluent draughtsman who was known as ‘the Rembrandt of the South’, he was hailed for his inventive approach to subject matter, his deftness of touch and ability to capture drama and movement. The exhibition reflects the artist’s extraordinary technical and stylistic versatility, and is the second joint exhibition to be organised as part of the Courtauld Institute of Art’s ongoing collaboration with the J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles.
It is focused around an important group of twenty-six drawings from the collection of Sir Robert Witt, bequeathed to the Courtauld in 1952. A number still retain the distinctive patterned ‘Casa Gennari’ mounts that originate from the studio of Guercino’s nephews and studio assistants, Benedetto and Cesare Gennari, to whom he left his entire stock of drawings. Guercino: Mind to Paper will be on view at the Courtauld Institute of Art Gallery, Somerset House, Strand, London WC2, from 22 February to 13 May 2007.
chashasma is pleased to present Visions of Light, a solo exhibition of the acclaimed Greek sculptor Antonia Papatzanaki. Visions of light exhibits Papatzanaki’s signature wall-reliefs, which represent her production of the last decade, and an installation of new Plexiglas works. Her work is a constant dialogue between the artificial light of the work and the ambient light of the surroundings.
The works function as a conceptual manifestation connecting sculpture, architecture, and the experience of light.
