POWER GAMES: Peter Fend & Morten Traavik Opening Reception: Friday, June 1, 6-8Pm FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: POWER GAMES: Peter Fend & Morten Traavik June 1–July 1, 2012 (PREVIOUSLY .NO in NYC) Opening Reception: Friday, June 1, 6-8pm New York, NY, May 9, 2012: On June 1st, 2012, the not‐for‐profit arts venue .NO on the Lower East Side of NYC will be renamed NOoSPHERE. Our new name reflects our expanding geographic scope,* and on this occasion, we are proud to present our first truly transnational exhibit. Curated by Russian‐born Yulia Tikhonova, POWER GAMES is a staged dialogue between two artists who share a willingness to challenge boundaries and to face the consequences this brings. NOoSPHERE is pleased to pair Peter Fend, a U.S. artist known for his collaborative practices melding art and science who recently returned to New York after being active in Eurasia for the past decade, with Morten Traavik, one of Norway's most challenging and productive artists, who exhibits in NYC for the first time. For POWER GAMES, the gallery space will be transformed into a single installation where works by Fend and Traavik converge to present the artists’ different takes on borders, distribution of resources, and what constitutes wealth ‒ both physical and mental. Their approaches are poles apart: while Fend is stern and formal, Traavik is witty and sly. Fend, who has been labeled a "global architect", applies ideas from art to major real‐life problems. He produces maps and models for: deconstruction of dams, diversion of rivers, collection of aquatic or marine biomass to yield methane, ultra‐lightweight city structures to reduce sprawl, and replacement of monoculture with wild‐animal terrain, suited for hunting‐fishing‐foraging. To the dismay of some, Fend shows how art can serve to end dependence on nuclear power and fossil fuels, change political borders, and convert military technology into eco‐industry tools. For controversy, he developed "Geopolitical Billiards", "Global Soccer Fields", TV scenarios like "Italy Wins World War" and a gas‐station advertising campaign for "Global Warming." Traavik operates in many different artistic genres, often in mental and/or physical conflict zones. For instance, his MISS LANDMINE ANGOLA (2008) and MISS LANDMINE CAMBODIA (2009), a beauty pageant for female landmine survivors, sparked massive international attention and debate, also in the US. His latest project, a trilogy titled THE PROMISED LAND (2012), is still being developed in North Korea in close collaboration with the country’s cultural authorities, and has already made world headlines, not least through its clever use of social media (nearly 2 million YouTube views so far) and playful deconstruction of our established preconceptions about the world’s most reclusive state and its people. The two artists share a belief in 'truth disclosure' projects conducted to challenge their own and others’ comfort zones. In this pursuit, they both play many roles: activist, pundit, craftsman, conceptualist, realist, fantasist, bad‐boy artiste ‒ sometimes all at once! Peter Fend (1950), currently based in New York and New Zealand, studied history in college. Believing one could make history with art, he teamed up with Jenny Holzer, Richard Prince, Robin Winters, Coleen Fitzgibbon, and Peter Nadin to form The Offices, then set up the legally‐incorporated version Ocean Earth Development Corporation (1980‐). The firm pioneered the broadcast TV analysis of hot news sites using civil‐satellite data (Falklands, Beirut, Iran‐Iraq, Chernobyl). The aim, however, was architectural ‒ in the broad Albertian sense of assuring defense, urban space, clean air and living waters. Fend has published widely in the scientific and military‐news press, with two press conferences at the UN. He showed at Documenta IX and currently has work on view at four NYC venues: Anna Kustera Galllery, White Columns, Proteus Gowanus, and Peanut Underground ‒ each a response to a different world crisis. Morten Traavik (1971) is a Norwegian director and artist based in Oslo and Stockholm. He works across a wide spectrum of artistic genres and international borders. Trained as theater director in Russia and Sweden, the notion of the world as a stage and identity as role play is never far away in his works. In 2010, he was the first (and so far the only) artist‐in‐residence with the Norwegian Armed Forces. For POWER GAMES, Traavik will arrive almost straight from North Korea, where he is organizing the First Norwegian Festival in the country’s capital Pyongyang on May 17, Norway’s National Day. This makes him the world’s first artist to exhibit simultaneously in North Korea and the US, two countries technically still at war. He himself prefers the label “diagnostician” rather than “artist”. (www.traavik.info) ------- *While our point of departure, .NO as in Norway, remains the main focus, our sphere of activity is evolving. According to V. Vernadsky and T. de Chardin, the noosphere denotes the “sphere of human thought”: it is a stage of evolutionary development dominated by conscious-ness, the mind, and interpersonal relationships. Constituted by the interaction of human minds, the noosphere is an organized web of thought surrounding the Earth’s biosphere; a sphere of mind encircling the planet; the collective consciousness of the human species. NOoSPHERE is located at 251 East Houston Street, between Norfolk and Suffolk Streets. The closest subway stop is Second Avenue – Lower East Side on the F-train. Gallery hours are Tue-Fri 12–6 pm, Sat-Sun 11 am–6 pm. For more information or to arrange a viewing, please contact the gallery at [email protected] or +1 646 389-8229 www.no-sphere.org .

BY JANE KRAMER t could be argued that the South Bronx John Ahearn PHOTOGRAPH BY DUANE bronzes fit right into the neighborhood MICHALS —that whatever a couple of people said about bad role models and negative Iimages and political incorrectness, there was something seemly and humane, and even, in a rueful, complicated way, “correct,” about casting Raymond and his pit bull, Daleesha and her roller skates, and Corey and his boom box and basketball in the metal of Ghiberti, Donatello, and Rodin and putting them up on pedestals, like patron saints of Jerome Avenue. John Ahearn, who made the statues, says that he thought of them more as guardians than as saints, because their job was ambiguous, standing, as they did for a couple of days last year, between the http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/1992/12/21/whose-art-is-it Page 1 of 47 Whose Art Is It? - The New Yorker 2/8/16, 11:06 AM drab new station house of the city’s 44th Police Precinct and what is arguably one of its poorest, saddest, shabbiest, most drug-infested, AIDS-infected, violent neighborhoods. John himself is ambiguous about “ambiguous.” He says that when the city asked him to “decorate” the precinct he thought of the Paseo de la Reforma, in Mexico City, with its bronze heroes—a mile of heroes. He thought that maybe it would be interesting—or at least accurate to life on a calamitous South Bronx street, a street of survivors—to commemorate a few of the people he knew who were having trouble surviving the street, even if they were trouble themselves.

  • The Robert C. Morgan Conceptual Art Collection of Correspondence
    The Robert C. Morgan Conceptual Art Collection of Correspondence, Interviews, Artists’ Books, Monographs, Catalogs, and Ephemera Featuring John Baldessari, Robert Barry, Douglas Huebler, Sol LeWitt, and Lawrence Weiner Robert C. Morgan (b. 1943) is an internationally renowned American art critic, art historian, curator, lecturer, poet, and painter. He completed his dissertation, “The Role of Documentation in Conceptual Art: An Aesthetic Inquiry,” at New York University (School of Education) in 1978. It was the first dissertation on Conceptual Art in the U.S. and was later rewritten, updated and published as Conceptual Art: An American Perspective (McFarland & Company, 1994). The present collection springs from Morgan’s assiduous research and writing, and provides copious evidence of and discerning insight into the enduring phenomenon of Conceptual art, with particular attention to Lawrence Weiner, Robert Barry, Peter Downsbrough, John Baldessari, Dan Graham, Douglas Huebler, Seth Siegelaub, Allan Kaprow, Joseph Kosuth, Sol LeWitt, and Ed Ruscha, to name a few. The collection includes artists’ books, monographs, catalogs, cards, posters, recordings, correspondence, manuscripts, typescripts, and so forth, and represents the work of more than 100 artists, writers, curators, and editors. From John Baldessari’s Throwing Three Balls in the Air to Get a Straight Line (Best of Thirty-Six Attempts). Morgan has curated retrospectives of Allan Kaprow and Komar and Melamid, as well as many other exhibitions including such artists as Carolee Schneemann, Robert Barry, Douglas Huebler, Mel Bochner, and Muntadas. In addition to Conceptual Art: An American Perspective, Morgan is the author of Art into Ideas: Essays on Conceptual Art (Cambridge University Press, 1996), Between Modernism and Conceptual Art (McFarland, 1997), The End of the Art World (Allworth Press, 1998), Robert Barry (Karl Kerber Verlag, 1986), and Bernar Venet 1961–1970 (Éditions des Cahiers intempestifs,1999), among many other articles and books.

  • Colab and Friends
    COLAB AND FRIENDS RARE AND OUT OF PRINT ARTISTS BOOKS, EDITIONS AND EPHEMERA FROM COLAB AND FRIENDS During the late seventies and early eighties, the artists collective Collaborative Projects Inc. (a.k.a. Colab) quickly became a leading force in the downtown art scene of New York. The ma- terial that exists today captures the energy of this iconic period of New York City’s history as well as the fervor with which the artist collective navigated—and advanced—the underground art culture. Printed Matter is pleased to announce that a rich collection of Colab-related publications, editions and printed ephemera is now available in our ever-expanding catalog. This body of work provides examples of Colab’s pioneering ventures in artist driven cultural activism and political discourse through shows, publications, and artists multiples. In this special offering, the works have been broken down into three distinct categories: complete sets of downtown material, artists books and publications produced in collaboration with Colab, and artist ephemera. Detailed descriptions of each featured artwork are listed in the catalog be- low, complete with historical and cultural context for a thorough overview of the material at hand. Please note that most of the titles are available in limited quantities only. Orders will be fulfilled on a first come, first served basis. Complete Sets TALK IS CHEAP: COLAB STREET POSTERS COMPLETE SET Capitalizing on the burgeoning industry of cheap reprographics, Colab produced sets of twenty-eight posters to be plastered across New York City in 1984. Each poster was a collaborative effort be- tween various members of Colab and its extended community, and bore an iconic pink-and-black off- set color scheme that distinguishes the collection.
