Ali Banisadr / MATRIX 185 at the Wadsworth Marks Artist's First Solo
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Media Contact: Kim Hugo, (860) 838-4082 [email protected] Image files to accompany publicity of this exhibition will be available for download at http://press.thewadsworth.org. Email to request login credentials. Ali Banisadr / MATRIX 185 at the Wadsworth Marks Artist’s First Solo Museum Exhibition in the U.S. Hartford, Conn. (September 15, 2020)—Ali Banisadr draws freely from an encyclopedic knowledge of the history of painting to create a distinctive visual language, resulting in works that explore a “between space,” like those of hallucinations and dreams. Ali Banisadr / MATRIX 185 at the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art is the artist’s first solo museum exhibition in the U.S. Ten paintings and two prints by Banisadr join a selection of works from the Wadsworth collection chosen by the artist, as well as a video collage that Banisadr created to show additional inspiration works from the museum’s collection. The exhibition opens October 22, 2020 and will be on view through February 14, 2021. “Banisadr’s depictions of abstracted masses feel especially relevant right now,” says Patricia Hickson, Emily Hall Tremaine Curator of Contemporary Art at the Wadsworth. “His compositions echo the disquiet we are witnessing across the world today, including political rallies, protest marches, and street riots. And yet, as timely as they are, they are equally timeless.” Banisadr’s process has been related to synesthesia as sounds instruct the energy and rhythm in his painterly compositions. His perception of sound as inextricably linked to color and form began in his native Tehran, Iran during the Iran-Iraq War (1980–1988)— the artist recalls drawing while sheltering at home. -
Arlene Shechet Skirts
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Arlene Shechet Skirts February 28 – April 25, 2020 540 West 25th Street New York Opening Reception: Thursday, Feb 27 6–8 PM Image: Arlene Shechet, In my view, 2020, glazed ceramic, wood, paint, 58” × 26” × 20” © Arlene Shechet, Photography by Jeremy Liebman New York — Pace Gallery is pleased to present Skirts, its first solo exhibition of works by Arlene Shechet, from February 28 through April 25. Running concurrently with the Whitney Museum’s exhibition Making Knowing, which also features works by Shechet, Skirts brings together more than a dozen of the artist’s most recent sculptures, including large-scale works and a monumental outdoor piece, to be displayed on the second-floor galleries and terrace of Pace’s new flagship building at 540 West 25th street. Rich in idiosyncrasies, Shechet’s latest pieces combine disparate mediums, from ceramics to wood and metalwork, with playfully ambiguous titles that prompt endless associations. Utilizing a title that is both a noun and a verb, Skirts is a testament to the artist’s fluid and unformulaic process. Though her works appear effortless and forgiving of imperfections, they are the belabored products of an intuitive and technically fastidious approach, involving casting, painting, firing, carving, stacking, undoing and redoing with no predetermined endpoint. Her expansive approach to sculpture and materials is reminiscent of artists Shechet admires, such as Sophie Taeuber- Arp and Sonia Delaunay, whose work transcends the divisions of painting and sculpture and encompassed innovative multimedia practices, distinguishing their work from that of their male peers. Shechet’s title, Skirts, also reclaims misogynist slang. -

MEG WEBSTER CONTENT About Meg Webster 3 Installation Views 4 Selected Sculptures with Prices 6 Selected Biography 11 Cover Image: Meg Webster, Model for Polished Tetrahedron for Sometimes Containing Water, Sometimes Containing Rain, 2013 All images © Meg Webster Courtesy Paula Cooper Gallery and Anne Mosseri-Marlio Galerie, Basel 2 MEG WEBSTER Meg Webster (US, 1944) works in post-minimal, land and conceptual art forms. Using natural materials, resources and metal to create monochromes, small and large sculptures is natural to Meg Webster. Origins matter - process as well. The polished “Copper Disk Sometimes Warmed by the Sun”, 2015, is reminiscent of an ancient object seen in a museum and the desire to touch it. In creating a larger disk and allowing it to be heated by the sun, one sees the energy flow and time pass. The inviting shape, warm metal and reflection react in unison to activate and channel energy. The Model for Polished Tetrahedron for Sometimes Containing Water, Sometimes Containing Rain, 2013 is 9 x 9 x 9 inches (ca. 23 x 23 x 23 cm) but is conceived as model for a larger sculpture approximately 1 meter high to be placed outdoors. As a model (edition of 6), it is an object of desire and reflection that can be placed facing up or on its side. Outside, it can contain rain and be looked into. This perfect shape executed in polished stainless steel allows light re- flections and confirms Webster as a post-minimalist, interested in the quality of our environment and well-being. The Titanium Hemisphere, 2008, symbolizes the perfect object made of very hard metal. -

All at Once, a major, critically-acclaimed 20-year survey of Shechet’s work, was on view at the Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston in 2015. Sebastian Smee of The Boston Globe wrote: “It’s in the harmonies and tensions between these colors and textures, between suggestions of both order and anarchy, decay and blooming freshness, that these works cough, sputter, and sing. If they really are the great analogs to interior life that I feel them to be, it’s because Shechet knows that this life, expertly attended to, has its own folds and wrinkles, its own hollows and protuberances; that it is at once fugitive and monumental … and ultimately unknowable.” All at Once was also hailed by The New York Times as “some of the most imaginative American sculpture of the past 20 years, and Arlene Shechet some of the most radically personal.” In recent years, Shechet’s work has included historical museum installations. Porcelain, No Simple Matter: Arlene Shechet and the Arnhold Collection, on view at The Frick Collection from May Working Over Time : an artist’s talk 2016 to April 2017, is described in The New Yorker as “a balancing act of respectful and radical” with “whimsical beauty and deep smarts.” From Here on Now, Shechet’s solo museum exhibition at the Phillips Collection in Washington, D.C., opens October 2016. -

You may download and print this text by Roberta Serpolli, solely for personal use THE PANZA COLLECTION STORY “The Panza Collection is entirely a couple’s affair. When my wife Giovanna and I discover works by a new artist, I look at her and she looks at me. I can see in her eyes if she wants to buy or not. So even between my wife and me, ‘looking’ is an issue.” Giuseppe Panza, 20091 Giuseppe Panza di Biumo, along with his wife Giovanna, is recognized as one of the world’s foremost collectors of contemporary art. The collection, originally composed of around 2,500 works of art, is mainly representative of the most significant developments in American art from post- World War II to the 21st century. Along with a need to fulfill spiritual and inner quests, both intuition and reflection have inspired the collectors’ choice that would demonstrate, retrospectively, their far- sightedness. By devoting themselves to an in-depth focus on emerging artists and specific creative periods, the Panzas contributed to acknowledging the new art forms among both the general public and the art market. The Beginnings of the Collection: On the Road to America The collection ideally began in 1954 when Giuseppe, at the age of thirty years, traveled to South America and the United States, from New York to Los Angeles, where he discovered the continents’ captivating vitality of economy and culture. Upon his return to Milan, he felt the need to take part in the international cultural milieu. In 1955, shortly after his marriage with Giovanna Magnifico, Giuseppe purchased his first work of art by Italian abstract painter Atanasio Soldati. -

Troublemakers unearths the history of land art in the tumultuous late 1960s and early 1970s. The film features a cadre of renegade New York artists that sought to transcend the limitations of paint- ing and sculpture by producing earthworks on a monumental scale in the desolate desert spaces of the American southwest. Today these works remain impressive not only for the sheer audacity of their makers but also for their out-sized ambitions to break free from traditional norms. -
