ARTS 9 Art Exhibitions Worth Masking Up for This Spring BY MARLEY MARIUS March 19, 2021 In New York, most museums and galleries reopened some time ago, but with the zing of spring now in the air—and more vaccines being administered all the time—setting a date to go out and (safely) see some art feels especially apropos. All sorts of interesting exhibitions have bowed over the last few weeks: the color-saturated “William Eggleston and John McCracken” pairing at David Zwirner’s 69th Street location (up through April 17); “Goya’s Graphic Imagination” at the Metropolitan Museum of Art (through May 2); “Lorraine O’Grady: Both/And” at the Brooklyn Museum (through July 18); plus, Frick Madison has just been unveiled. And then there are the shows beyond our city limits—“Soutine/de Kooning: Conversations in Paint” at the Barnes Foundation in Philadelphia (on through August 8); the fun “Paris to Hollywood: The Fashion and Influence of Véronique and Gregory Peck” in Denver; and LACMA will finally reopen with a rush of new programming on April 1. Here, we’ve narrowed down just a few of the new and coming attractions, in New York City and elsewhere along the Eastern Seaboard: Betty Parsons, It Was That Way, 1971. Acrylic on wood, 20 x 29 inches. Courtesy Berry Campbell Gallery. “Affinities for Abstraction: Women Artists on Eastern Long Island, 1950–2020” (May 2) Compiling works from 45 female artists, a group show at the Parrish Art Museum in Watermill explores how creatives with ties to the east end of Long Island have used the language of abstraction. The sundry aesthetics of Elaine de Kooning, Helen Frankenthaler, Louise Nevelson, Howardena Pindell, Virginia Jaramillo, and more meet in a spirited fusion of creativity, gender, and sense of place..

Interview ANN WILSON: [In progress] "—happened as if it didn't come out of himself and his fixation but merged. It came to itself and is for this moment without him or her, not brought about by him or her but is itself and in this sudden seeing of itself, we make the final choice. What if it has come to be without external to us and what we read it to be then and heighten it toward that reading? If we were to leave it alone at this point of itself, our eyes aging would no longer be able to see it. External and forget the internal ordering that brought it about and without the final decision of what that ordering was about and our emphasis of it, other eyes would miss the chosen point and feel the lack of emphasis.

2017 Abstracts
Abstracts for the Annual SECAC Meeting in Columbus, Ohio October 25th-28th, 2017 Conference Chair, Aaron Petten, Columbus College of Art & Design Emma Abercrombie, SCAD Savannah The Millennial and the Millennial Female: Amalia Ulman and ORLAN This paper focuses on Amalia Ulman’s digital performance Excellences and Perfections and places it within the theoretical framework of ORLAN’s surgical performance series The Reincarnation of Saint Orlan. Ulman’s performance occurred over a twenty-one week period on the artist’s Instagram page. She posted a total of 184 photographs over twenty-one weeks. When viewed in their entirety and in relation to one another, the photographs reveal a narrative that can be separated into three distinct episodes in which Ulman performs three different female Instagram archetypes through the use of selfies and common Instagram image tropes. This paper pushes beyond the casual connection that has been suggested, but not explored, by art historians between the two artists and takes the comparison to task. Issues of postmodern identity are explored as they relate to the Internet culture of the 1990s when ORLAN began her surgery series and within the digital landscape of the Web 2.0 age that Ulman works in, where Instagram is the site of her performance and the selfie is a medium of choice. Abercrombie situates Ulman’s “image-body” performance within the critical framework of feminist performance practice, using the postmodern performance of ORLAN as a point of departure. J. Bradley Adams, Berry College Controlled Nature Focused on gardens, Adams’s work takes a range of forms and operates on different scales.

The man who liberated S&M Leather into international glamor... The man Jesse Helms hates... The man whose epic movie-biography only Ken Russell could re-create...” Photographer Mapplethorpe: The Whitney, the NEA and censorship, Schwarzenegger, Richard Gere, Susan Sarandon, Paloma Picasso, Hockney, Warhol, Patti Smith, Scavullo, sex, drugs, rock ’n’ roll, S&M, flowers, black leather, fists, Allen Ginsberg, and, once-upon-a-time, me... The pre-AIDS past of the 1970s has become a strange country. We lived life differently a dozen years ago. The High Time was in full upswing. Liberation was in the air, and so were we, performing nightly our high-wire sex acts in a circus without nets. If we fell, we fell with splendor in the grass. That carnival, ended now, has no more memory than the remembrance we give it, and we give remembrance here. In 1977, Robert Mapplethorpe arrived unexpectedly in my life. I was editor of the San Francisco—based international leather magazine, Drummer, and Robert was a New York shock-and-fetish photographer on the way up. Drummer wanted good photos. Robert, already infamous for his leather S&M portraits, always seeking new models with outrageous trips, wanted more specific exposure within the leather community. Our mutual, professional want ignited almost instantly into mutual, personal passion.

Cardi Gallery Louise Nevelson
CARDI GALLERY Louise Nevelson, Untitled, 1964, Painted wood, 241 x 216 x 49.5 cm (94 7/8 x 85 1/8 x 19 1/2 in) LOUISE NEVELSON 55-70 October 7-December 20, 2014 Corso di Porta Nuova 38, Milan Cardi Gallery is pleased to present Louise Nevelson: 55-70, an exhibition of over thirty important collages and sculptures created between 1955 and 1970 that reveal the formalist achievements of Louise Nevelson (1899-1988), an icon of the Feminist art movement and one of the most significant American sculptors of the 20th century. Louise Nevelson: 55-70, is on view October 9 – December 20, 2014. Louise Nevelson: 55-70 features works created between 1955 and 1970, a period when the artist’s signature modernist style emerged, with labyrinthine wooden assemblages and monochrome surfaces, and evolved, as Nevelson incorporated industrial materials such as Plexiglas, aluminum and steel in the 1960s and 1970s. The exhibition at Cardi Gallery presents more than twenty-five collages and ten sculptures from private collections around the world, including large-scale monochrome reliefs, freestanding large-scale sculptures, and mixed media collages on paper and board, incorporating newsprint, paint, vinyl, metal, and other found objects. “I go to the sculpture, and my eye tells me what is right for me,” explained Nevelson. “When I compose, I don’t have anything but the material, myself, and an assistant. I compose right there while the assistant hammers. Sometimes it’s the material that takes over; sometimes it’s me that takes over. I permit them to play, like a seesaw.

The Museum of Modern Art
The Museum of Modern Art For Immediate Release May 1995 ARTIST'S CHOICE: ELIZABETH MURRAY June 20 - August 22, 1995 An exhibition conceived and installed by American artist Elizabeth Murray is the fifth in The Museum of Modern Art's series of ARTIST'S CHOICE exhibitions. On view from June 20 to August 22, 1995, ARTIST'S CHOICE: ELIZABETH MURRAY presents more than 100 drawings, paintings, prints, and sculptures by approximately seventy women artists. The exhibition involves works created between 1914 and 1973, including those ranging from early modernists Frida Kahlo and Liubov Popova to contemporary artists Nancy Graves and Dorothea Rockburne. Murray focuses particular attention on artists who made their reputations during the 1950s and 1960s, such as Lee Bontecou, Agnes Martin, Joan Mitchell, when Murray herself was studying and forming her style. This exhibition and the accompanying video and panel discussion are made possible by a generous grant from The Charles A. Dana Foundation. Organized in collaboration with Kirk Varnedoe, Chief Curator, Department of Painting and Sculpture, the ARTIST'S CHOICE series invites artists to create an exhibition from the Museum's collection according to a personally chosen theme or principle. "I wanted, for myself, to explore what being a woman in the art world has meant," Murray writes in the exhibition brochure. "I wanted to weave together a sense of the genuine and profound contribution women's work has made to the art of our time." - more - 11 West 53 Street, New York, N.Y. 10019-5498 Tel: 212-708-9400 Fax: 212-708-9889 2 Installed in the Museum's third-floor contemporary painting and sculpture galleries, the exhibition is arranged in thematic groupings.

Spanning four centuries and occupying 7,000 square feet on MAG’s first floor, the new installation brings together some of the finest works in the collection as it constitutes what chief curator Marjorie Searl calls “a journey in space and time.” The 114 works range from the Colonial era, exemplified by John Singleton Copley’s unfinished portrait (ca. 1762) of Boston silversmith Nathaniel Hurd, to politically charged mixed-media pieces by contemporary artists Jaune Quick-to- See Smith, Christian Boltanski and Binh Danh. In between are works by such masters as Thomas Cole, Winslow Homer, Augustus Saint-Gaudens, Thomas Eakins, John Sloan, George Bellows, Helen Frankenthaler, Jackson Pollock, Jacob Lawrence and Dale Chihuly. (A com- plete checklist is attached.) Of particular interest, Georgia O’Keeffe’s Jawbone and Fungus (1937) is displayed for the first time in a plexiglas case that allows visitors to see the brightly colored, unfinished abstract painting on the reverse—a painting that dates to the 1920s and that the artist abandoned for reasons unknown. Three galleries are grouped chronologically—“Art of a Young Nation” (Colonial era–1900); “Controversy and Change” (1900–1950); and “Art and Ideas” (1950–the present).
