Split Diamond Paintings to Present 1978 –2011 Douglas Haynes Split Diamond Paintings to Present 1978 –2011
Douglas Haynes Split Diamond Paintings to Present 1978 –2011 Douglas Haynes Split Diamond Paintings to Present 1978 –2011 James Rot tman Fin eArt www.jamesrottmanfineart.com [email protected] 416-893-5784 Douglas Haynes Split Diamond Paintings to Present Douglas Haynes works have challenged and engaged his audience for over five decades as a celebrated senior Canadian artist. This exhibition, curated by James Rottman Fine Art, features the Split Diamond series of the late 1970’s, the Toledo series works from the 1990’s and more recent works up to 2011. Haynes’ Split Diamond paintings are a highlight of this exhibition. When Doug allowed me to represent and exhibit his work in Toronto, I was ecstatic. I have always been a huge fan of his works and own a number of his works in my own inventory. However, the fun really began when our agreement was finalized. I then found myself with the opportunity to view forty years of works produced by a nationally celebrated artist. What a thrill! One by one the paintings were being pulled off their racks for me to view. My objective was to become more familiar with his large body of work, as well as choose fifteen or so of my favourite works for the exhibition. It was amazing to see the depth, the evolution and the originality of Doug’s work in the scope of Canadian art. When Haynes works were being pulled off the racks I immediately recognized the beauty and importance of these large format works from the late 1970’s in to the early 1980’s, known as the “Split Diamond Paintings”. -

Urquhart’s creativity in his most recent work continues to be provocative, challenging and acutely fine tuned. The recent works in this exhibition are mysterious and thoughtful, hallmarks of his work throughout his long, celebrated career. In this series of hand coloured etchings created in 2017, Tony explores the ideas of metamorphosis and immortality through hinting at comparative illustrations of the anatomy, physiology and brain structure of prehistoric cats and humans. What questions does Urquhart raise in this series of etchings? The unique hand coloured etchings in the series appear to build on and subsequently further develop ideas through the series. When asked to explain the intent of these etchings Tony takes a moment to respond and states that he is really not sure how to answer except to say that Goya has always influenced his work. Urquhart’s creativity in his most recent work Often, Tony needs to reflect for a period of time continues to be provocative, challenging and before he can provide rigorous answers about even acutely fine tuned. -

Architecture and Art in Public Space
The foundation stone of the project was the construction of the Grand Duchess Charlotte Bridge in 1963, based on plans drawn up by the German architect Egon Jux (1927-2008). It is ARCHITECTURE also called “Red Bridge” because of its vermillion hue. The firmly modernist work of metallic art is today a classic of the AND ART IN genre. It straddles the Alzette valley to link the Plateau with the city centre. With the planned construction of a tramway right across Luxembourg’s capital city, the bridge was widened and PUBLIC SPACE equipped with a new parapet designed by the engineering bureau Laurent Ney & Partners. KIRCHBERG PLATEAU The early town-planning in Kirchberg was purely functional. The road infrastructure was an expressway with two intersections providing access to secondary roads serving the new buildings. The European Institutions were established at the approach to the bridge at the western end of the Plateau, with the buildings centred on their plots of land. Later, the “Foires Internationales ARCHITECTURE AND ART IN PUBLIC SPACE de Luxembourg” (now Luxexpo The Box) and a residential district IN KIRCHBERG PLATEAU were built at the eastern end of the Plateau, while an Olympic- size swimming pool was built at the Plateau’s centre.

PRESS RELEASE Axel Lieber – ILLICIT
PRESS RELEASE Axel Lieber – ILLICIT CONSTRUCTIONS 28 April – 30 June 2018 taubert contemporary is pleased to present works by Axel Lieber in the gallery for the first time during the Gallery Weekend Berlin 2018. The exhibition titled Illicit Constructions presents pieces of various work groups from recent years around a central, space-filling sculpture that was developed by the artist for this exhibition. The title of the exhibition already refers to the fragility of some of the exhibited objects, but especially to the new sculpture, an intricate structure with architectural references. Source material for this are commercial comics which Lieber deprived of their narrative elements by removing the image information and blackening the speech bubbles, which elevates the remaining material, the leftovers, to actual "building material". The previously inconspicuous frames of the panels now become structural, constructive components that, when assembled continuously, generate a monumental architectural model. Through the perforated facade, another structure becomes visible inside, which is a smaller version of the outer one. Depending on how and from which perspective the visitor approaches the sculpture, his or her perception shifts between model and monument, with the inside and outside interweaving and forming a complex tapestry. Axel Lieber always searches for the most distant point, the point at which his objets trouvés are still recognisable, but nevertheless receive an autonomous reality through a transformative act of reduction. He hollows out concrete objects semantically and fills the resulting gaps with new content and cavities in order to make the unknown visible in the familiar. By deliberately reducing and eliminating everyday objects, Lieber gives his sculptures and installations a specific, humorous-laconic serenity, which contrasts the horror vacui, the ubiquitous fear of emptiness in the visual arts, with its own artistic attitude. -
The Everyday Artefacts of World Politics: Why Graphic Novels, Textiles and Internet Memes Matter
The everyday artefacts of world politics: why graphic novels, textiles and internet memes matter in world politics Caitlin Hamilton A thesis in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Social Sciences Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences December 2016 3 THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname or Family name: Hamilton First name: Caitlin Other name/s: n/a Abbreviation for degree as given in the University calendar: PhD School: Social Sciences Faculty: Arts and Social Sciences Title: The everyday artefacts of world politics: why graphic novels, textiles and internet memes matter in world politics Abstract World politics has conventionally been a realm of ideas, instead of things. While ideas matter, the paucity of research into the artefacts of world politics and particularly the everyday artefacts of world politics represents a gap in how we know the world. By developing a form of artefact analysis specifically designed to study the things of world politics, I examine what three types of everyday artefacts – graphic novels, textiles and internet memes – can tell us about world politics. Graphic novels, for example, show how conflict and the everyday co-exist in a curious mash-up of banality and violence; they also complicate narratives of world politics with which we may be more familiar, highlight the fundamental importance that everyday makers play in the lived experience of world politics, and they have significant parallels with the research processes involved in producing scholarship. Textiles are a vehicle for everyday makers to explore and express their ethnic and national identities and can function as a form of documentation. -
