With more than 20 years of experience, Stacey aims to build community through art and position museums as places for learning and exchange. Born in New York City, Stacey saw the strains and challenges of socio-economic and cultural divides. But family visits to museums, which were inexpensive or free, were a special treat. “My mother would take me and many of the neighborhood kids to museums and cultural events to make sure we understood that the world was bigger than our block,” she recalls. Stacey’s ah-ha moment came when she was 15, and it set the course for a lifetime of art, learning, and leadership. Standing in front of Van Gogh’s The Potato Eaters, she “felt the desperation of poverty. Through a painting that was 100 years old, my naïve teenage brain ‘got it.’ I realized the power of art.” Stacey aims to build Since then, Stacey has held education and key initiatives include its Art Ark, an early community through art positions at the Studio Museum in Harlem, childhood initiative, Block by Block outreach the Brooklyn Children’s Museum, the program, studio and accessibility programs, and position museums Baltimore Museum of Art, and was the and interactive exhibition spaces.

  • Press Release (PDF)
    G A G O S I A N G A L L E R Y August 29, 2016 The critic and curator Philip Rawson, an eloquent guide to the means and methods of drawing over the ages, points out that until the Italian Quattrocento, no European sculptor was supposed to be able to draw. In the medieval period, only those sculptors who also worked in two dimensions drew habitually; any other sculptor who needed, say, to show a client a proposed design hired a draftsman to make one. And when sculptors began to make drawings (for their own use or to guide assistants), they tended to do so without thinking of the format of the paper as a frame to which the image should relate. Instead, the image was generally treated as an independent motif, composed of mutually related units and placed anywhere on the sheet. In this approach, the space of the paper outside the image was not incorporated into the design but functioned like the open, empty space around actual sculptures. ... In contrast, Rawson observes, painters' drawings have tended to treat the usually rectangular format of the paper as a frame to which the image content relates. —John Elderfield Gagosian Gallery is pleased to present “Plane.Site,” a cross-generational exhibition of modern and contemporary artists organized by Sam Orlofsky to inaugurate the San Francisco gallery.

  • Kris Kuksi New Rome
    Mark Moore Gallery 5790 Washington Blvd. Culver City, CA 90232 T. 310.453.3031 F. 310.453.3831 www.markmooregallery.com Tues – Sat, 11am – 6pm Kris Kuksi New Rome Opening Reception: July 9 On View: July 9 – August 20, 2016 Mark Moore Gallery is pleased to present New Rome, an exhibition of new work by Kansas based artist Kris Kuksi. The exhibition marks Kuksi’s second major solo show with the gallery. Over the last decade, Kuksi has built a career creating complex sculptures that blend antiquity with the modern world. Teeming with struggle, conflict, faith, sexuality, and power, each sculpture affords the viewer a ringside seat for a wild spectacle as the spheres of fantasy and reality collide. For this exhibition, Kuksi creates New Rome, a society rife with allegory consisting of works crafted in a hybrid style of baroque and rococo that deeply examine the human psyche. Every sculpture is created from an obsessive collection of cultural flotsam and jetsam – figurines, model parts, collectibles, craft parts, and jewelry. The final pieces, sometimes as large as 10Ft wide, are totemic like shrines that expose Kuksi’s disenchantment with the structures of power and the fallacies of man. Yet, the works are not without their romance, as the wonders of the world are presented through elaborate entanglements of miniature bears, mythical beasts, and glorious figurines. In the Los Angeles Times review of Kuksi’s 2014 exhibition David Pagel writes, “Kuksi’s Baroque confections treat history as primordial soup — a burbling stew of thrilling highlights and epic tragedies that not only resonate in the mind’s eye but also inspire all sorts of emotions — good, bad and otherwise.” In this exhibition, Kuksi gives us the range of human emotion in thousands of pieces, making up one grandiose whole.

Lovell, “City, River, Mountain: Wayne Thiebaud’s California,” Panorama: Journal of the Association of Historians of American Art 3, no. 2 (Fall 2017), https://doi.org/10.24926/24716839.1602. City, River, Mountain: Wayne Thiebaud’s California Margaretta M. Lovell , Jay D. McEvoy, Jr., Professor of American Art, University of California, Berkeley For decades now, art historians, critics, art enthusiasts, gallerists, and readers of The New Yorker have been very familiar with Wayne Thiebaud’s cakes, pies, deli counters, and gum ball machines. His reputation was firmly established with food paintings such as Around the Cake and Delicatessen Counter in the early 1960s (figs. 1, 2). Usually associated loosely (and somewhat erroneously) with the Pop Art movement, these upbeat paintings with their bright colors, their common everyday, very American food subjects, sly geometry, shallow depth of field, and wry humor are frequently exhibited, published, and commented on.1 Less well-known, and virtually unremarked on by art historians, are the extraordinary landscapes that have resulted from his pursuit of this genre. This essay touches on continuities between Thiebaud’s food paintings and his landscape paintings, and on the ways his landscapes broach the seemingly irreconcilable differences between abstraction and representation. Centrally, it engages the ways in which his landscape paintings, focusing on the ecologies of California, engage major human concerns about place, space, and habitation. Figures 1, 2.
