The Gesture and the Sign Press Release 19 March 2013 The Gesture and the Sign 3 April – 8 June 2013 ‘The Gesture and the Sign’ features recent works by a range of international artists that take their cue from pictorial aspects of lyrical abstraction. With an emphasis on the actual process of painting, lyrical or gestural abstraction can be characterised by techniques that are governed by the artist’s interaction with chance, intuition and circumstance. Triggered by diverse conditions and impulses, the paintings and works on paper in this exhibition share a common purpose in the primacy given to the gesture, the sign and material. Artists such as Mark Bradford, Julie Mehretu, Sterling Ruby and Daniel Senise apply abstraction as a means of observing, negotiating or deconstructing an increasingly mediated world. In Mark Bradford’s large-scale, multi-part work, he uses materials found in the vicinity of his Los Angeles studio (in this case, a merchant poster featuring the telephone number for a ‘Slip and Fall’ lawyer) as the basis for an epic, dense and visually complex composition. The spray painted, hallucinatory canvases of Sterling Ruby also draw influence from his local neighbourhood, here in the form of gang graffiti and the power struggles associated with tagging, defacement and dominion of territory. Julie Mehretu’s dynamic, layered compositions feature intuitive gesture, architectural information and visual signs that build into a maelstrom of time, place and art history, while the abstract compositions of Daniel Senise combine materials embedded and marked with an implied history, which are then overlaid with a pristine white monochrome as an erasure of the past. Accident, failure and alchemy all play a part in the paintings of Sergej Jensen, David Ostrowski and Jacob Kassay. In Sergej Jensen’s work, fabrics such as burlap, linen and wool are incorporated to create minimalist paintings that focus on the incidental and the random. David Ostrowski’s practice likewise embraces the idea of chance and error, producing a range of gestural ‘imperfections’ in his ‘Fehlermalerei’ (‘mistake paintings’). The silver-plated paintings of Jacob Kassay are made by covering the surface of the canvas in white acrylic before they are treated with a chemical process that transforms their surfaces into shimmering variations on the monochrome. The contingency of Damien Hirst’s spin paintings point to the foundation of gestural abstraction, which places significance on techniques such as dripping, dabbing or flinging paint onto the surface of a canvas. The energetic execution of the painting is governed by the artist’s control, and the immediacy of the gesture is captured and locked in an instant. In Kristin Baker’s work, previously described as ‘dystopian Colour Field painting’, the contours are composed more deliberately using taped outlines and broad washes of luminous colour, onto which gestural passages and marks are then spontaneously added. ‘The Gesture and the Sign’ is curated by Susan May, Artistic Director, White Cube. White Cube São Paulo is open Tuesday to Saturday 11am—7pm. For further information, please contact Honey Luard or Sara Macdonald on +44 (0)20 7930 5373.

  • Art History: International Art Exhibitions
    FRICK FINE ARTS LIBRARY ART HISTORY: INTERNATIONAL ART EXHIBITIONS Library Guide Series, No. 42 “Qui scit ubi scientis sit, ille est proximus habenti.” -- Brunetiere* What Is an International Art Exhibition? International art exhibitions have a long history that has its roots in the 19th century. Salon exhibitions took place in Paris from 1667 onwards under the auspices of the French Royal Academy of Painting and Sculpture and were held on a biennial basis from 1855 onwards. That same year the Salons were held in the Palais de ‘l’Industrie constructed for the World’s Fair that year. A number of rival salons were established and in 1881 the government withdrew official support from the main Salon and handed over its direction to artists. Afterward, the Salon began to lose its prestige and influence in the face of competition from various independent exhibitions such as the Salon des Independents (1884), the Societe Nationale des Beaux-Arts (1890) and the Salon d’Automne (1903). The end of the 19th century was a time marked by an internationalist spirit that celebrated technological advancement and the accumulation of wealth through global colonial structures. The institution of world’s fairs was one feature of that spirit, the first one being held in London during 1851. Many of the fairs that followed throughout the 19th and 20th centuries included art buildings to display works by the current artists of the day. At times it is difficult to distinguish biennial and triennial art exhibitions from international art festivals, art fairs or trade shows. The first art fair one in the twentieth century was the 1913 Armory Show in New York which was open to progressive painters usually neglected.

La stagione delle mostre, grandi e piccole, è ancora lungi dal partire e alcuni eventi di cui avremmo voluto parlare stanno inaugurando mentre chiudiamo il giornale in redazione. Abbiamo fatto buon viso a cattivo gioco e ci siamo adeguati. Il numero che avete in mano ha così meno recensioni e più approfondimenti. E non è detto che sia un male, anzi. Siamo o non siamo la rivista d'arte (e dintorni) più completa, leggibile, godibile e soprattutto credibile del Paese?

  • 1 RE-THINKING ARTISTS in TRANSIT Isil Egrikavuk & Georgia
    RE-THINKING ARTISTS IN TRANSIT Isil Egrikavuk & Georgia Kotretsos In 2001, fifteen Biennials took place around the world. In 2002, nineteen; in 2003, seventeen; in 2004 nineteen and in 2006 the grand total of 27 biennials were organized, some of which were making their official debut on the scene. In 2007, fifteen Biennials have been announced. Since the early 90's the Biennial tradition turned into the epidemic of Biennialization as we know it today. Its contagious nature spread rapidly among peripheral art communities and lured in art professionals from all four corners of the world. Biennials opened our art world to Art Histories that had been neglected in the past on an international level; they were and still can be informative and critical platforms 1 where Contemporary Art can be re-thought, re-evaluated and re-articulated. Yet, the pervasive model slowly seemed to loose ground in terms of the classic fashion – like a great song is being overplayed on the radio. The word Biennial completes the title of over 50 international grandiose exhibitions around the world. This commitment is no longer the case for the Biennial Ceará América Fortaleza, Brazil; the Five Continents and One City Biennial, Mexico City, USA; the Johannesburg Biennale, South Africa and the media city Seoul Biennial, South Korea. Others have been inconsistent in honoring that very commitment, which nurtures art professional’s critical itch. Either way nearly 20 Biennials have made their debut since 2000. We have to acknowledge though that the "mother" Biennial, which takes place in Venice since 1895 serves as the inspiration of the mimicry we are witnessing over the last 15 years.
