Margit Koller: Expansion in Sculpture – Site-Specific Installation, Environment and the Non-Autonomous Artwork
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. -

^ 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.

Dan Flavin Was Born in 1933 in New York City, Where He Later Studied Art History at the New School for Social Research and Columbia University
DAN FLAVIN Dan Flavin was born in 1933 in New York City, where he later studied art history at the New School for Social Research and Columbia University. His first solo show was at the Judson Gallery, New York, in 1961. Flavin made his first work with electric light that same year, and he began using commercial fluorescent tubes in 1963. Fluorescent light was commercially available and its defined systems of standard sized tubes and colors defied the very tenets of Abstract Expressionism and Pop Art, from which the artist sought to break free. In opposition to the gestural and hand-crafted, these impersonal prefabricated industrial objects offered, what Donald Judd described as “…a means new to art.”1 Seizing the anonymity of the fluorescent tube, Flavin employed it as a simple and direct means to implement a whole new artistic language of his own. He worked within this self-imposed reductivist framework for the rest of his career, endlessly experimenting with serial and systematic compositions to wed formal relationships of luminous light, color, and sculptural space. Vito Schnabel Gallery presented Dan Flavin, to Lucie Rie and Hans Coper, master potters in St. Moritz from December 19, 2017 — February 4, 2018. The exhibition featured nine light pieces from the series dedicated to Rie, nine works from his series dedicated to Coper, and a selection of ceramics by Rie and Coper from Flavin’s personal collection. Major solo exhibitions of Flavin’s work have been presented at the National Gallery of Canada, Ottawa; Staatliche Kunsthalle, Baden- Baden; St. Louis Art Museum, Missouri; Morgan Library and Museum, New York; and Dan Flavin: A Retrospective, an international touring exhibition that included the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.; Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, Texas; Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago; Hayward Gallery, London; the Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris; Los Angeles County Museum of Art; and Pinakothek der Moderne, Munich. -

For Immediate Release September 27, 2019 Dia to Present an Exhibition
For Immediate Release September 27, 2019 Dia to Present an Exhibition of Rarely Seen Works on Paper by Marian Zazeela Opening October 5, 2019 Marian Zazeela, 22 – 28 VIII 75, 1975. © Marian Zazeela. Photo: Bill Jacobson Studio, New York, courtesy Dia Art Foundation, New York New York – September 27, 2019 – This fall, Dia Art Foundation presents an exhibition at Dia:Beacon, Beacon, New York, of works on paper by renowned multidisciplinary artist Marian Zazeela. Since 1962 Zazeela has worked with her long-time collaborator, La Monte Young, on large-scale installations in sound and light. While Zazeela’s sculptures and light design have become well known, her works on paper have remained decidedly less so. This presentation features approximately thirty works on paper dating from 1962 to 1990, which showcase the range of materials and motifs that stem from the artist’s deep interest in calligraphy and ornamental forms, and link her divergent practices. The exhibition, which marks only the second solo presentation to date of Zazeela’s works on paper, opens on October 5, 2019, and will be on view through May 2021. The works on view at Dia:Beacon advance what Zazeela terms “borderline art”—work that challenges the hierarchical distinction between decorative and fine art by using ornamentation in the fine art tradition and using borders as content in themselves. On visits to Morocco at the beginning of her artistic career in 1959, Zazeela was inspired by the Arabic lettering on marketplace signs. Building upon this early interest in calligraphy, she began to borrow forms from cursive writing and vary them to create new patterns.
