    Margit Koller: Expansion in Sculpture – Site-specific Installation, Environment and the Non-autonomous Artwork Report about my research program in New York, supported by the Peter and Irene Ludwig Foundation, 2018 September Expansion in Sculpture – Site-specific Installation, Environment and the Non- autonomous Artwork Virginia Dwan and the Dwan Gallery. Dia Art Foundation. MoMA PS1. Dan Flavin Institute and The Donald Judd Foundation. Do Ho Suh: Rubbing/Loving Project. House as Art - Arthouse 1. Introduction I spent one month in New York in September 2018, thanks to the researcher scholarship of Peter and Irene Ludwig Foundation. In my workplan my focus was tended onto monumental sculpture, site-specific installation and environmental art, as well as the public sculpture, with the connection between the financial possibilities and artistic freedom. In addition, I always examine the spatial art in the relation of the artwork with its surrounding space and the perceptual skills and possibilities of the viewer. During my stay in New York I was visiting museums, collections, galleries and public parks inside the city and around and in Washington DC, which support site-specific and monumental spatial art in temporary exhibitions or permanent collections (open for the public). I visited loads of colossal and inspiring places, but because of the limit of the report I only write about my most important experiences which are directly connect to both of my research and creative process. (My experiences about the public sculpture could fill another 10-page long report1). As I’m writing my report three weeks after my arriving, the language may mirror my relation to my fresh discoveries, experiences and spontaneous recognitions.

  • A Land Art Pioneer's Adventures in Time and Space
    A Land Art Pioneer’s Adventures in Time and Space Nearly 50 years after Charles Ross began working on “Star Axis,” the artist’s gargantuan work in the New Mexico desert is nearing completion. By Nancy Hass July 21, 2020, 1:00 p.m. ET THROUGH THE WINTER months, Charles Ross’s existence befits an established New York multimedia artist of a certain vintage: whitewashed SoHo loft with a comfortable studio in the back; a pair of sweet, shaggy dogs that he and his wife, the painter Jill O’Bryan, walk up Wooster Street in the chill, past the wrought iron storefronts that were little more than scrap metal when he first came to the city in the mid- 1960s after studying math and sculpture at the University of California, Berkeley, but now are outposts of Chanel and Dior. Evenings, they may drop into a Chelsea gallery opening or two, then linger over dinner at Omen, the Japanese restaurant that’s been on Thompson Street since the ’80s, nodding to the fellow stalwarts of a downtown scene that long ago ate its young: the 92-year-old portraitist Alex Katz sharing a sake with the Abstract Expressionist David Salle, 67; the musician Laurie Anderson, 73, at the bar, her spiky hair stippled with gray. But come dawn on an April day, when the weather has started to break, such trappings abruptly fall away. A long flight and a bumpy three-hour ride later in the bruised, red-clay encrusted 2004 Dodge Dakota that they usually keep in long-term parking at the Albuquerque airport, Ross and O’Bryan are halfway up a craggy mesa, at the base of “Star Axis,” the 11-story naked-eye observatory made of sandstone, bronze, earth, granite and stainless steel that Ross, one of the last men standing of the generation of so-called earthworks artists, has labored on continuously since he conceived of it in 1971.

  • ^ Exhibition Advisory
    ^ Exhibition advisory Exhibition: Los Angeles to New York: Dwan Gallery, 1959–1971 On View: March 19–September 10, 2017 Location: Resnick Pavilion (Image credits on page 6) (Los Angeles—March 6, 2017) The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) presents Los Angeles to New York: Dwan Gallery, 1959–1971, an examination of the storied history of Dwan Gallery, one of the most important galleries of the postwar period in the United States. Virginia Dwan (b. 1931), gallery owner, art patron, and collector, was one of the greatest champions of avant-garde art and artists of the mid-20th century. During her more than 11 years as a gallerist, Dwan’s Los Angeles and New York galleries were among the first bicoastal spaces dedicated to showcasing contemporary art in America. As an arts patron, Dwan was a pivotal figure in the Los Angeles art scene, often providing artists with stipends, studio space, and housing, in addition to giving many artists their first solo shows. At the time, the exhibitions presented at Dwan Gallery were at the forefront of postwar avant-garde art. Dwan organized one of the first Pop art exhibitions in the United States, My Country ’Tis of Thee (1962), and she was one of the earliest and most ardent supporters of Minimal Art and Earthworks. Founded in 1959, Dwan Gallery first opened in a storefront in Westwood, Los Angeles. The gallery presented groundbreaking exhibitions of New York artists such as Philip Guston, Franz Kline, Claes Oldenburg, Robert Rauschenberg, Ad Reinhardt, and Larry Rivers as well as the Los Angeles-based artist Edward Kienholz.

For a listing of all exhibitions and installations, please visit www.lacma.org The Serial Impulse at Toba Khedoori John McLaughlin Paintings: Total Abstraction Renaissance and Reformation: Gemini G.E.L. German Art in the Age of Dürer and Cranach UPCOMING EXHIBITIONS Moholy-Nagy: Future Present February 12–June 18, 2017 The first comprehensive retrospective of the work of László Moholy-Nagy (1895–1946) in the United States in nearly 50 years, this long overdue presentation reveals a utopian artist who believed that art could work hand-in-hand with technology for the betterment of humanity. Moholy-Nagy: Future Present examines the career of this pioneering painter, photographer, sculptor, and filmmaker as well as graphic, exhibition, and stage designer, who was also an influential teacher at the Bauhaus, a prolific writer, and later the founder of Chicago’s Institute of Design. The exhibition includes more than 250 works in all media from public and private collections across Europe and the United States, some of which have never before been shown publicly in the U.S. Also on display is a large-scale installation, Room of the Present, a contemporary construction of an exhibition space originally conceived by Moholy-Nagy in 1930. Though never realized during his lifetime, the Room of the Present illustrates Moholy’s belief in the power of images and various means by which to disseminate them—a highly relevant paradigm in today’s constantly shifting and evolving technological world.

I owe my growth and eagerness to continue to grow to my professors, for they have served not only as paragons of intelligence, but also as models for how to maintain thoughtfulness, openness, and awareness in all aspects of practice. I hold dear affection for the students of the Departments of Art History and Visual Studies. I am inspired by their energy and encouraged by their support. It is a gift to know such generosity and their kindness will be a lasting treasure in my life. I would like to express my distinctive gratitude for my advisor, Professor James Nisbet, whose ability to direct my skeletal thinking is the source of my learning.
