  • FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE SARAH MORRIS January 11 – February 17
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE SARAH MORRIS January 11 – February 17, 2018 Berggruen Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition of new paintings, drawings, and a recent film entitled “Finite and Infinite Games’’ (2017) by American painter and filmmaker Sarah Morris, on view January 11 – February 17, 2018. This exhibition marks the artist’s first solo show on the West Coast. The gallery will host a reception for the artist on Thursday, January 11 from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m. Morris is widely recognized for her large-scale, graphic paintings and drawings that respond to the social, political, and economic force of the urban landscape through a visual language grounded in bold and ambitious abstraction. Her probing of the contemporary city inspires a consideration of the architectural and artistic climate of modernity and humanity’s footprint—a subject that Morris energizes and invigorates through a distinct use of geometry, scale, and color. Her work straddles the boundary between abstract and representational. Systems and structures of power emerge from Morris’s perceptions of her urban surroundings—Hamburg, Rio de Janeiro, New York, Los Angeles, Beijing—cities of persistent physical and cultural transformation. As she proposes, navigating the modern world involves transgressing spaces of private authority—a persistent line of inquiry that runs throughout her body of work. Using glossy house paint, Morris captures the vibrant and energetic nature of the modern city through her continual exploration of bright, lively colors and stirring geometric patterns. In this show, an underlying pulse exists throughout the artist’s paintings, as she explores visual embodiments of sound waves, sound graphs, and digitized movements through two-dimensional picture planes.

  • State of the Art: the Future of the UK's Cultural Sector
    State of the art: the future of the UK’s cultural sector Candida Gertler, the co-founder of the Outset, and Louise Evans, regional manager for the UBS Art Collection, discuss how to safeguard the future of the visual arts BY FRANCES HEDGES JUL 27, 2020 When the most-visited museum in the UK – London’s Tate Modern – shut its doors on 17 March, it was only the start of a flurry of closures in the art sector that were soon to become mandatory for galleries, auction houses and studios. With no confirmed reopening date in sight or most large arts venues (these are deemed ‘higher-risk’ by the government and are therefore subject to more careful monitoring), the year ahead is bound to be challenging for an already cash-strapped industry. Yet paradoxically, the past few months of isolation have, more than ever, shown us the value of culture in connecting us across seemingly impossible divides. Whether we have been admiring the countless rainbow drawings decorating the windows of people’s homes or logging on to one of the many free-to-view online exhibitions hosted by British galleries, art has been a valuable source of solace in turbulent times. For Candida Gertler, a leading art philanthropist who co-founded the Outset Contemporary Art Fund in 2003, this is clear evidence that culture is an essential, not a luxury. “It’s elementary for a healthy society, especially in times like this, because it stops us from descending into depression,” she argues. “Damage to our mental health can come at a huge cost, so there’s no better long-term investment a business can make in terms of promoting wellbeing.” Candida Gertler LARRY BUSACCAGETTY IMAGES One such business is UBS, which has a 60-year history of collecting contemporary art and has maintained its commitment to the sector throughout the pandemic.

Focusing on the charged psychology of urban spaces and the visually encrypted history and hierarchy in particularly architecture, her works can be viewed by the Turkish audience for the first time in Dirimart. Active in the international art world since 2002, the art space Dirimart will be hosting the world-renowned American artist Sarah Morris’ first solo exhibition in Turkey from September 14 to October 22, 2011. Besides a selection of paintings from Morris’s latest series ‘Clips and Knots’, ‘John Hancock’, and ‘Rings’ the 2011 film Chicago (68’) will also be shown. Antenna (John Hancock) Sarah Morris’ well-deserved ubiqituous fame is based on the geometric abstractions 2011 of both her paintings and films, playing with architecture, design and the psychology Household gloss paint on canvas of urban environments. Parallel to her paintings, Morris’ films also trace urban, 289 x 289 cm social and bureaucratic topologies. In both media, she explores the psychology of the contemporary city and its architecturally encoded politics. Morris assesses what today’s urban structures, bureaucracies, cities and nations might conceal and surveys how a particular moment can be inscribed and embedded into its visual surfaces.

  • Sarah Morris Today We Find Ourselves at an Impasse
    Sarah Morris Today we find ourselves at an impasse 27 August – 19 October 2019 Carpintaria is pleased to announce Sarah Morris’s third solo show in Brazil. The artist presents new paintings as well as drawings on iconic film posters. The exhibition title, Today we find ourselves at an impasse, derives from one of the titles of her new Sound Graph paintings in which the artist employs an architecture of vivid abstract forms, engaging the viewer’s sense of visual recognition and coding. Morris’s most recent Sound Graph series derives from audio-recorded fragments of conversations. The Sound Graphs are envisioned and interpreted in enamel on canvas, expanding the artist’s vocabulary of language, technology and surveillance. Speech becomes an image, reimagined by the artist. The works are titled after various sources: from a well-known quotation of Tristes Tropiques (1995) by anthropologist Claude Lévi-Strauss – also referenced in Caetano Veloso’s song Fora de Ordem – to the infamous dialogue between ex-senator Romero Jucá and businessman Sérgio Machado right before President Dilma Rousseff’s impeachment in 2016. The paintings employ a vast range of references from architecture to industrial design, iconography of maps, language, sociological diagrams, system and game theory. Morris also depicts the lunar calendar in a colored grid that marks the real time month and context of the exhibition. August 2019 [Rio] is part of this ongoing series. In Digits, a painting based on the intensity and poetry of Niemeyer’s hands, the concentric composition suggests illusion and its solutions. Drawing inspiration from Roberto Burle Marx, Lina Bo Bardi, Oscar Niemeyer, fruits and even Bossa Nova album covers, her canvases are made up of brilliant compositions whose curves, vectors and interlocking spheres reference the sharp contrasts of Brazil’s many social forms.

  • Projection As Paradise in Sarah Morris' Los Angeles
    PROJECTION AS PARADISE IN SARAH MORRIS’ LOS ANGELES by TAYLOR RYAN HOBSON (Under the Direction of Isabelle Loring Wallace) ABSTRACT This paper considers Sarah Morris’ 2004 film Los Angeles and its potential success as a “city portrait,” a description encourage by the artist’s work in both painting and film. The film invokes a number of established cinematic modes – both avant-garde and commercial – without explicitly favoring any one tradition. Morris thereby appropriates the visual vocabulary of Hollywood while maintaining a distance that reveals her cinematic maneuvers as such. As a portrait of the city‘s own visual language, I argue that Los Angeles articulates a divide between literal, urban location and Hollywood simulation. Furthermore, a reading of the film alongside the fragmented, commercial form of the feature trailer reveals the inherent ability of the cinematic medium to perpetuate desire and projected fantasy within its spectator.

  • Leadership and Participation in Local, Voluntary Groups
    CULTIVATING EFFECTIVENESS: LEADERSHIP AND PARTICIPATION IN LOCAL, VOLUNTARY GROUPS Sarah Morris Cote A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Sociology Chapel Hill 2017 Kenneth Andrews Howard Aldrich Neal Caren Bob Edwards Laura Lopez‐Sanders © 2017 Sarah Morris Cote ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Sarah Morris Cote: Cultivating Effectiveness: Leadership and Participation in Local, Voluntary Groups (Under the direction of Kenneth Andrews) Why are some local, voluntary groups more effective than others at achieving the goals for which they were founded? The majority of research on the effectiveness of organizations in the voluntary sector has studied large, incorporated, nonprofit organizations that operate at the regional or national level or with local chapters tied to a national organization. Thus, knowledge of the non-federated, small, local voluntary groups that undergird civil society in towns and cities across the country is extremely limited. I add to this limited research base by studying a particularly vibrant form of local, voluntary group – community gardens – in Greenridge, a mid-sized, Southeastern city. Drawing on data from over 100 in-depth interviews, content analysis of group documents, and group site visits, I examined how different forms of group capacity relate to group goal attainment, specifically material resources, internal group structure, sociopolitical legitimacy, and participation. Analyses revealed that, although theorized to boost organizational effectiveness, sociopolitical legitimacy and material resources did not account for differential group goal attainment due to the institutionally supportive and resource-rich environment for community garden groups in Greenridge at the time of the study.

  • Sarah Morris, 2013
    Sarah Morris Bye Bye Brazil Shift to Liquid I experience and see the paintings in this same manner : visceral, after-images, interfaces sometimes representing something that is repulsive, overwhelming ; a system that is larger than you, with moments of inherent complicitness, and yet distance or failure built in. • SARAH MORRIS Sarah Morris is well aware of the impossibility of somehow placing oneself ‘outside’, for critical or artistic reasons. It can’t be achieved through abstraction, reflection, alienation, or some other logic or technique. Perhaps it has become structurally impossible. Searching for ways to proceed nonetheless, seeking reasons or even excuses to make work, Morris began throwing herself into the middle of things. You could call this an excuse to engage with the hyper- intensity of our time. Practically speaking, as observers of Morris’s work have often noted, that means exploring late capitalism and all the ways it has implemented modernism in architecture and urban planning, disciplines that could be described as the planning of the inside and the outside all at once. Manhattan, Miami, Washington, Los Angeles, Beijing, and, most recently, Rio de Janeiro : these metropolitan sites have been the subjects of her films and paintings, which since 1998 she has produced in parallel series. Morris’s films are shaped by a technique of investigatory observation. Always there is the feeling of drifting, drifting as a device ; the cool, disembodied camera-eye. With the exception of two that feature conversations, all Morris’s films have had their diagetic sound customarily stripped, which, as Warren Beatty pointed out to the artist, is the ultimate empowerment for a director.
