    WSJ. Magazine April 25, 2013 GAGOSIAN GALLERY Now, Voyager Born and raised in Rhode Island, with studios in New York and Rotterdam, the artist Ellen Gallagher—now celebrated with simultaneous exhibitions on either side of the Atlantic—draws upon fact, fantasy and traces of her own meandering life. By Julie L. Belcove Photography by James Mollison BLUE HEAVEN | Gallagher in her studio in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, with an untitled work in progress. The painting will be part of an exhibition of the artist's work at the New Museum in New York, opening in June. IT WOULD BE EASY to connect the dots of Ellen Gallagher's biography and come up with two different but equally inspiring story lines. In one account, Gallagher, the biracial daughter of an Irish-American mother and an African-American father, grows up to make art about the subtle but profound ways racial stereotypes pervade our culture. Another version has Gallagher, born and raised in Providence, Rhode Island, a maritime city where whaling once thrived, shipping out aboard an Alaskan commercial fishing boat and later spending a college term living on a schooner, studying tiny water snails. Dividing her time between studios in New York and Rotterdam, another port city, she makes art that frequently takes the ocean and its centuries-old link to human migration, as a prime subject. Both plots lead to great critical acclaim, representation by the powerhouse Gagosian Gallery and exhibitions at some of the world's foremost museums, including the Whitney Museum of American Art and the Museum of Modern Art.

Courtesy the artist. Photo: Amunga Eshuchi. Right: The Otolith Group, Hydra Decapita (film still), 2010. Courtesy the artists New York, NY, July 9, 2013—This fall, The Studio Museum in Harlem is thrilled to present The Shadows Took Shape, a dynamic interdisciplinary exhibition exploring contemporary art through the lens of Afrofuturist aesthetics. Coined in 1994 by writer Mark Dery in his essay “Black to the Future,” the term “Afrofuturism” refers to a creative and intellectual genre that emerged as a strategy to explore science fiction, fantasy, magical realism and pan-Africanism. With roots in the avant-garde musical stylings of sonic innovator Sun Ra (born Herman Poole Blount, 1914–1993), Afrofuturism has been used by artists, writers and theorists as a way to prophesize the future, redefine the present and reconceptualize the past. The Shadows Took Shape will be one of the few major museum exhibitions to explore the ways in which this form of creative expression has been adopted internationally and highlight the range of work made over the past twenty-five years. On view at The Studio Museum in Harlem from November 14, 2013 to March 9, 2014, the exhibition draws its title from an obscure Sun Ra poem and a posthumously released series of recordings.

  • The Long Overlooked Female Artists Suddenly Getting Market Attention
    The Long Overlooked Female Artists Suddenly Getting Market Attention observer.com/2018/03/art-market-report-armory-fair-sales-include-mary-corse-sheila-hicks/ Margaret Carrigan March 13, 2018 Work by Norwegian artist Vanessa Baird on view at the Armory Show. Timothy A. Clary/AFP/Getty Images Bad weather didn’t keep collectors away from the 2018 Armory Show, which closed March 11 after strong attendance over its five-day run. The fair’s overall sales gave no indication that the event opened just as the second nor’easter hit New England in under a week, canceling and delaying flights from inbound visitors across the world. One buyer, Thomas Yamamoto, even hopped a flight from Shanghai to New York early to peep a painting in person that he’d bought after seeing just a photo of it. The work in question is a fetching white monochrome from 2011 by Mary Corse, a foundational figure in the male-dominated Light and Space movement started in 1960s Los Angeles. And Corse wasn’t the only overlooked lady from the mid 20th century getting snapped up at the show. “Interest in female artists from the ’60s, ’70s and even the ’80s is high right now,” London-based gallerist Alison Jacques told Observer. Indeed, her Armory Show booth boasted a number of powerhouse women, including works by Ana Mendieta, Dorothea Tanning, Betty Parsons, Michelle Stuart and Sheila Hicks. Hicks studied at Yale, where she worked with legendary modernist Josef Albers and was a pioneer of textile art in the 1960s; now 83, the Nebraska-born, Paris-based artist is finally the subject of a major solo exhibition, at Paris’s Centre Pompidou.

  • Robert Janitz's First Solo Exhibition at Team Gallery, Titled “Stick Shift Heaven,” Included 13 New Works and Displayed A
    Robert Janitz’s first solo exhibition at Team Gallery, titled “Stick Shift Heaven,” included 13 new works and displayed all three strands of the artist’s recent output: broad, gestural abstractions thickened with cold wax and flour; brushy portraits of the backs of people’s heads; and plant sculptures made of sheet metal and Coroplast. Born in Germany in 1962, Janitz moved to New York in 2009 after more than a decade living and showing in Paris. He is a true cosmopolitan with a love of dance, poetry, language, fashion, and food. I met up with him at his Bushwick studio to discuss his career thus far, his approach to work, and the difference between Europe and the US. NOAH DILLON I’m curious about the work you did in Europe and whether you think being in New York has affected what you’re doing now. ROBERT JANITZ I was starting to get a sense of New York in 2004, when I was at a Cooper Union summer residency and had been coming to New York on-and-off. But I only felt I was really connecting to anything in 2009, when I moved here. What prompted your move? You know, Paris is a very nice place but it’s very claustrophobic and they hate painting. Not that I was considering myself a painter… What does that mean? Because I was working with paint on a canvas I was a painter. And because I was a painter I was outside the Duchampian dialogue. I was a foreigner in a side wing of the dominant French discourse.

  • Robert Janitz Kerckhoffs’ Principle 10 September – 25 October 2015 83 Grand Street
    www.teamgal.com For Immediate Release: Robert Janitz Kerckhoffs’ Principle 10 September – 25 October 2015 83 Grand Street Team (gallery, inc.) is pleased to announce a solo show by the New York-based, German painter Robert Janitz. The exhibition will run from 10 September to 25 October 2015. Team (gallery, inc.) is located at 83 Grand Street, between Greene and Wooster, on the ground floor. Concurrently, our 47 Wooster Street space will house an exhibition of new work by Gardar Eide Einarsson. For this exhibition, Janitz presents a group of his “reverse portraits,” modestly scaled paintings that depict in abstruse terms the backsides of heads. With this body of work, the artist slyly controverts the dichotomy of figurative versus non-representational painting by probing the metamorphosis – or confabulation – of abstract marks into an identifiable figure. Here, the divergent treatment of portraiture – among Western art history’s most abiding and entrenched genres – quietly begets a kind of painterly exegesis, directing attention to the fact of the canvas, the image’s constituent brushstrokes and the composition and preparation of materials. The exhibition’s title refers to Auguste Kerckhoffs’ principle of cryptography, which states that a perfect cryptosystem is secure even when all its aspects but its key are publically known. Codes – lingual and visual – are central to the artist’s practice and choice of subject matter. His paintings investigate and interrogate the abstract underpinnings of painterly image-making. The theorist Max Mueller posits that mythology is a “disease of language,” transforming ideas and feelings into beings and stories; Janitz extends this theory to image making by winnowing the individually ambiguous, corrupted marks that, together, form a picture.

    G A G O S I A N G A L L E R Y 14 June 2016 I called some paintings perspectives but I'm not interested in perspective; I called some butterflies but I don't think they are butterflies; I call my sculptures masks but they are not masks. —Mark Grotjahn Gagosian Gallery is pleased to present “Pink Cosco,” an exhibition of new, large-scale painted bronze sculptures by Mark Grotjahn. Grotjahn's work is inseparable from its present moment, yet willing to make explicit art-historical reference. He borrows from Op art, Abstract Expressionism, Pop art, and Renaissance perspective, but achieves effects that reach forward and backward simultaneously. To occupy this precarious past-future visual position requires intense concentration, calculation, and control. As he painted his Butterfly paintings, Grotjahn sought an escape from precision: he began making masks out of the cardboard boxes lying around his studio—the discarded shells of art materials, gifts, and other packaging. He painted the boxes and attached toilet paper roll tubes that stuck out between cut-out eyes. The Masks, although originally started as a casual practice, quickly asserted themselves as a new armature for painting—an armature that would straddle time just as much as the two-dimensional geometric works.
