Henry Street Settlement Henry Street Settlement is a not-for-profit multifaceted agency that provides innovative social service, arts and health care programs to New Yorkers of all ages. Founded on Manhattan’s Lower East Side in 1893 by social reformer Lillian Wald, today Henry Street continues to be dynamic catalyst for social and economic progress. The Settlement serves more than 50,000 New Yorkers each year, particularly residents of the ethnically diverse, densely populated lower east side of Manhattan. Distinguished by a profound connection to its neighbors, a willingness to address new problems with swift and innovative solutions, and a strong record of accomplishment, Henry Street challenges the effects of urban poverty by helping families achieve better lives for themselves and their children. Art Dealers Association of America Founded in 1962, the Art Dealers Association of America (ADAA) is a not-for-profit membership organization of more than 170 of the nation’s leading galleries in the fine arts. www.artdealers.org.

My dissertation uses a variety of critical methods (socio-political, historical, philological, narratological and feminist), along with the stylistic analysis and close reading of individual works, to study and assess the importance of Fillia’s literature, theater, art, political activism, and beyond. Far from being derivative and reactionary in form and content, as interwar futurism has often been characterized, Fillia’s works deploy subtler, but no less innovative forms of experimentation. For most of his brief but highly productive life, Fillia lived and worked in Turin, where in the early 1920s he came into contact with Antonio Gramsci and his factory councils.

  • Reinventing, Downtown
    Reinventing, Downtown By XICO GREENWALD | June 24, 2017 Abstract Expressionists Willem de Kooning, Jackson Pollock and Franz Kline urged a pair of friends to start an art gallery. Tibor de Nagy and John Bernard Myers followed their advice and, in 1950, on East 53rd Street, they opened the Tibor de Nagy Gallery. MEDRIE MACPHEE A Dream of Peace, 2017 oil and mixed media on canvas, 60 x 78 inches In the years to come, Mr. Myers and Mr. de Nagy would exhibit works by a number of second-generation Abstract Expressionists, including Alfred Leslie, Grace Hartigan, Robert Goodnough and Helen Frankenthaler. They also showed figurative paintings by the likes of Larry Rivers, Jane Freilicher, Fairfield Porter and Red Grooms. And Tibor de Nagy editions, the gallery’s book imprint, published poetry by Frank O’Hara, John Ashbery, Barbara Guest and others. Mr. Myers left the gallery in 1970. By that time, Tibor de Nagy had relocated to the 57th Street gallery district. When Mr. de Nagy died in 1993, he bequeathed his business to two young gallery assistants, Eric Brown and Andrew Arnot. Over the next 24 years, Mr. Arnot and Mr. Brown built on the gallery’s legacy together, exhibiting New York School pictures alongside works by select contemporary artists influenced by New York School poets and painters. But in the fast-paced New York art world, perhaps the only constant is change. Mr. Brown departed from the gallery this year. And now Mr. Arnot has relocated Tibor de Nagy to the Lower East Side, partnering with Betty Cuningham Gallery in a space-sharing agreement.

  • Jack Whitten
    HAUSER & WIRTH Press Release Jack Whitten Hauser & Wirth New York, 22nd Street 26 January – 8 April 2017 Opening reception: Thursday 26 January, 6 – 8 pm New York… Beginning 26 January 2017, Hauser & Wirth is pleased to present its first exhibition devoted to the work of American abstractionist Jack Whitten. The show will feature selections from the artist’s newest bodies of work from 2015 – 2017, including tessellated paintings from the series Quantum Walls, and Portals; a piece from Whitten’s ongoing Black Monolith project honoring African-American visionaries; and assorted lenticular works on evolon. Lushly material explorations of space and its apertures, these works celebrate the distinctive painterly language that Whitten has developed over the course of a five-decade career. ‘Jack Whitten’ will remain on view at Hauser & Wirth’s West 22nd Street space through 8 April 2017. Moving to New York City to study art at Cooper Union in the early 1960s, Whitten was exposed to a range of influences, from the vigorous paintings of fellow artists Willem de Kooning and Norman Lewis, to the rich complexity HAUSER & WIRTH of bebop. Within this cultural milieu he developed an experimental style that combined the expressive physicality of gestural abstraction with the conceptual rigor of systems art. A radical breakthrough in 1970 provided the basis for his mode of working today: lifting a thick slab of acrylic paint off its support, Whitten realized that paint could be coaxed into the form of an independent object, challenging preexisting ideas about dimensionality in visual art. He began to lay sliced acrylic ribbons in wet, uneven fields of paint, mimicking the setting of mosaic tessarae into wet masonry.

  • Depero and Photo-Performance
    Este documento es un borrador de la versión publicada en: Fernández Castrillo, C. (2014). Depero and Photo-performance. En: Futurist Depero. 1913-1950. Manuel Fontán del Junco (ed.). Madrid: Fundación Juan March, 2014, pp. 287-291. © De los textos los autores DEPERO and Photo-performance. Carolina Fernández Castrillo The dichotomy between art and technology (episteme/techne or artes liberales/artes mechanicae) has determined the evolution of aesthetics and society, giving rise to numerous expressions of approbationand rejection over the course of history. In 1909 the Futurists emerged on the Europeanart scene to the cry of “The whip or dynamite!”1 proclaiming that it was no longer possible to escapefrom scientific discoveries and the influence of the new means of transport, production, and communication that were transforming the world into an ever faster and better connected place. There was an urgent need to establish a new aesthetic-communicative system capable of capturing the unprecedentedly vibrant and frenetic rhythm of society. The early Italian avant- garde artists thus distanced themselves from late 19th-century cultural trends by proposing a specific plan of action that could stir up the conscience of their contemporaries against passéism (passatismo, nostalgia for the past) and passivity. In his desire to provoke reaction, the Futurists’ leader Filippo Tommaso Marinetti decided to publish his inaugural manifesto in the French Le Figaro, the most popular newspaper of the day. Through this initial public act, Marinetti aimed to disseminate his thinking on a global scale beyond the frontiers of Italy, choosing the quintessentially modern city of Paris from which to do so.

  • Futurism's Photography
    Futurism’s Photography: From fotodinamismo to fotomontaggio Sarah Carey University of California, Los Angeles The critical discourse on photography and Italian Futurism has proven to be very limited in its scope. Giovanni Lista, one of the few critics to adequately analyze the topic, has produced several works of note: Futurismo e fotografia (1979), I futuristi e la fotografia (1985), Cinema e foto- grafia futurista (2001), Futurism & Photography (2001), and most recently Il futurismo nella fotografia (2009).1 What is striking about these titles, however, is that only one actually refers to “Futurist photography” — or “fotografia futurista.” In fact, given the other (though few) scholarly studies of Futurism and photography, there seems to have been some hesitancy to qualify it as such (with some exceptions).2 So, why has there been this sense of distacco? And why only now might we only really be able to conceive of it as its own genre? This unusual trend in scholarly discourse, it seems, mimics closely Futurism’s own rocky relationship with photography, which ranged from an initial outright distrust to a later, rather cautious acceptance that only came about on account of one critical stipulation: that Futurist photography was neither an art nor a formal and autonomous aesthetic category — it was, instead, an ideological weapon. The Futurists were only able to utilize photography towards this end, and only with the further qualification that only certain photographic forms would be acceptable for this purpose: the portrait and photo-montage. It is, in fact, the very legacy of Futurism’s appropriation of these sub-genres that allows us to begin to think critically about Futurist photography per se.

  • The Jamison Galleries Collection
    THE JAMISON GALLERIES COLLECTION BETTY W. AND ZEB B. CONLEY PAPERS New Mexico Museum of Art Library and Archives Dates: 1950 - 1995 Extent: 7.33 linear feet Contents Part One. Materials on Artists and Sculptors Part Two. Photographs of Works Part Three. Additional Material Revised 01/11/2018 Preliminary Comments The Jamison Galleries [hereafter referred to simply as “the Gallery”] were located on East Palace Avenue, Santa Fe, from August 1964 until January 1993, at which time it was moved to Montezuma Street. There it remained until December 1997, when it closed its doors forever. Originally owned by Margaret Jamison, it was sold by her in 1974 to Betty W. and Zeb B. Conley. The Library of the Museum of Fine Arts is indebted to the couple for the donation of this Collection. A similar collection was acquired earlier by the Library of the records of the Contemporaries Gallery. Some of the artists who exhibited their works at this Gallery also showed at The Contemporaries Gallery. Included in the works described in this collection are those of several artists whose main material is indexed in their own Collections. This collection deals with the works of a vast array of talented artists and sculptors; and together with The Contemporaries Gallery Collection, they comprise a definitive representation of southwestern art of the late 20th Century. Part One contains 207 numbered Folders. Because the contents of some are too voluminous to be limited to one folder, they have been split into lettered sub-Folders [viz. Folder 79-A, 79-B, etc.]. Each numbered Folder contains material relating to a single artist or sculptor, all arranged — and numbered — alphabetically.
