Alexander Calder & Contemporary FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: NATHAN CARTER THE FLY-BY-NIGHT MEGA METRO SUB ROSA TURBULENT TWISTER EXHIBITION DATES: SEPTEMBER 5 – OCTOBER 26, 2013 OPENING: THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 6-8PM Casey Kaplan is pleased to announce an exhibition of new works by Nathan Carter (b. 1970, Dallas, TX.) In new drawings and panoramic panel paintings, Nathan Carter has begun an investigation into an idea of the future that is the product of years of volatile urban growth. Heavy maritime salvage, mining, drilling, logging, pirating and an ever- expanding industry of data-mining operations have in effect created a new dynamic landscape. Built at high altitudes and by the water’s edge, Carter’s cities are populated by monuments to their own hubris, fragile towers topped with car- ousels, dilapidated dormitories, and take-away eateries veiling their dystopic nature with an exuberance that suggests a “bad business as usual” attitude. In response, the environment has become equally turbulent, battering the settlements with rogue waves, electric snowstorms and pink lightning, which amplifies mounting social tensions - verging on a state of industrial disaster and perpetual crisis. Formal explorations remain central to these works. They represent equally an interest in the language of abstraction as they do a series of layered references to these precarious environments. Taking an approach that is both studied and jerry-rigged, Carter’s new works are an exploration in storytelling achieved through an experimentation with form and material. This interplay is highlighted in new sculptural works, where constellations of geometric forms are suspended in space and slowly reveal themselves as buoyant towers. Similarly, Carter not only builds the cities of his drawings and paintings through his fictional narratives but also through the process of drawing itself. Flat planes, loose gestural marks and shapes are revisited and reworked, expanded and refined to give way to the structural foundations. In an almost cartographical approach, areas of color and form are first designated as mountains and rivers, then gestural lines become roads, aerial lifts and skyways before they are further developed into an infrastructure – buildings, bridges, tunnels, signal towers – intrusions from the crevices that constantly react with the abstract, invented landscape. In effect, Carter’s process mimics a refined stream of consciousness, creat- ing systems that are perpetually in flux. Nathan Carter recently completed a large-scale permanent outdoor installation titled, HOUSTON RADIO RADAR RE- FLECTORS at the University of Houston, TX. In the spring of 2013, Carter painted pressure vessel capsules for EBEX, a joint experiment between Columbia University and NASA, which successfully launched into the stratosphere above Antarctica. Past solo exhibitions include: ALWAYS VOCAL ON THE INTERBORO CROSSTOWN LOCAL, presented by the Blaffer Museum of Art as part of the “Windows into Houston” series, 2012, THE FLYING BRIXTON BANGARANG AND RADIO VIBRATION VEX-VENTURE, MURA, Museo de Arte Raul Anguiano, Guadalajara, Mexico, 2009, and THE COVERT CAVIAR FREQUENCY DISRUPTOR, ArtPace, San Antonio, TX, 2008. Additionally his work has been exhibited in numerous group exhibitions including The Fields Sculpture Park, OMI International Arts Center, Ghent, NY, 2013, The Map as Art, Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art, Kansas City, MO, 2012/2013, Wireless, Contemporary Arts Forum, Santa Barbara, CA, 2012, and Alexander Calder and Contemporary Art: Form, Balance, Joy, Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago, IL, 2010, Traveled to: Nasher Sculpture Center, Dallas, TX, 2011, Orange County Museum of Art, Newport Beach, CA, 2011, Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University, Durham, NC, 2011/2012.

NEW ADDITION TO UH PUBLIC ART COLLECTION WELCOMING STUDENTS “HOUSTON RADIO RADAR REFLECTORS” TO ADD AMBIENCE TO NEW COUGAR PLACE August 23, 2013 Houston Students arriving to the University of Houston will note a drastically changed campus. In addition to the new garages and residence halls, both first-time and returning Coogs will observe the latest sculpture in the university’s acclaimed Public Art Collection. “Houston Radio Radar Reflectors” is a colorful screening wall connected to the new Cougar Place residence hall (located at Wheeler Avenue and Cullen Boulevard). The recently installed piece is the handiwork of artist Nathan Carter. The piece includes six swirling aluminum sculptures located outside of the residence hall’s northern window and next to its outdoor patio. Each piece includes multicolored Nathan Carter’s “Houston Radio Radar Reflectors” is the tiles in various shapes (triangles, circles, ovals, half-circles) and sizes. It is the first latest addition to UH’s acclaimed Public Art Collection. The installation complements the new Cougar Place public artwork created by Carter. residence hall. In creating each component of the sculpture, Carter said that he took into consideration its resiliency – how it would withstand outdoor conditions such as wind and rain. At the same time, he envisioned a work that would be welcoming to Cougar Place residents and the UH community. “My idea is that the sculptures would be interactive,” Carter said. “Students can use them to hang their backpacks or rest their cups of coffee. I also wanted to create something that was inviting for students. So, I selected colors that were playful and a feast for the eyes.” Carter’s interests in old-fashioned, handmade electronic devices inspired the title “Houston Radio Radar Reflectors”. The title and design complements some of Carter’s recent works that utilize shapes that can perhaps be used to pick up radio signals. While this is Carter’s first outdoor public installation, he has shown works in galleries across the country and internationally. His recent exhibitions include “Slayer Metallica” at Esther Schipper gallery in Berlin, “Pocket Shrapnel Set-Ups Veronica Vex and Brooklyn Street Treasures” at Casey Kaplan gallery in New York, and “The Flying Brixton Bangarang and Radio Vibration Vex-Venture” in Museo de Arte Raul Anguiana in Guada- lajara, Mexico. “I am over the moon at seeing this project at the university,” he said. “It’s taken me a while to create a public work like this. I am really excited to share this with students and the rest of the University community.” “Houston Radio Radar Reflectors” joins more than 400 works that comprise the UH System PublicArt Collection. The University was one of the first state institutions to allot one percent of its facilities’ construction budgets toward public art works. The System Wide Art Acquisition Committee assists in selecting works for UH System universities. Michael Guidry is the collection’s curator. http://www.uh.edu/news-events/stories/2013/august/RadioReflectors.php American Academy of Arts and Letters NEWS RELEASE 633 WEST 155 STREET, NEW YORK, NY 10032 Contact: Souhad Rafey (212) 368-5900 [email protected] www.artsandletters.org EXHIBITION THE AMERICAN ACADEMY OF ARTS AND LETTERS ANNOUNCES ARTISTS 2011 INVITATIONAL EXHIBITION OF VISUAL ARTS Rosaire Appel MARCH 10 – APRIL 10 Amy Bennett Willard Boepple February 17, 2011 – Over 110 paintings, photographs, sculptures, and works on paper by 35 con- temporary artists will be exhibited at the galleries of the American Academy of Arts and Letters John Bradford on historic Audubon Terrace (Broadway between 155 and 156 Streets) from Thursday, March 10 Katherine Bradford through Sunday, April 10, 2011.

  • Sugar-Sweetened Beverage Marketing Unveiled
    SUGAR-SWEETENED BEVERAGE MARKETING UNVEILED VOLUME 1 VOLUME 2 VOLUME 3 VOLUME 4 THE PRODUCT: A VARIED OFFERING TO RESPOND TO A SEGMENTED MARKET A Multidimensional Approach to Reduce the Appeal of Sugar-Sweetened Beverages This report is a central component of the project entitled “A Multidimensional Approach to Reducing the Appeal of Sugar-Sweetened Beverages (SSBs)” launched by the Association pour la santé publique du Québec (ASPQ) and the Quebec Coalition on Weight-Related Problems (Weight Coalition) as part of the 2010 Innovation Strategy of the Public Health Agency of Canada on the theme of “Achieving Healthier Weights in Canada’s Communities”. This project is based on a major pan-Canadian partnership involving: • the Réseau du sport étudiant du Québec (RSEQ) • the Fédération du sport francophone de l’Alberta (FSFA) • the Social Research and Demonstration Corporation (SRDC) • the Université Laval • the Public Health Association of BC (PHABC) • the Ontario Public Health Association (OPHA) The general aim of the project is to reduce the consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages by changing attitudes toward their use and improving the food environment by making healthy choices easier. To do so, the project takes a three-pronged approach: • The preparation of this report, which offers an analysis of the Canadian sugar-sweetened beverage market and the associated marketing strategies aimed at young people (Weight Coalition/Université Laval); • The dissemination of tools, research, knowledge and campaigns on marketing sugar-sweetened beverages (PHABC/OPHA/Weight Coalition); • The adaptation in Francophone Alberta (FSFA/RSEQ) of the Quebec project Gobes-tu ça?, encouraging young people to develop a more critical view of advertising in this industry.

    Tate Papers Issue 12 2009: Lucy R. Lippard http://www.tate.org.uk/research/tateresearch/tatepapers/09autumn/lippa... ISSN 1753-9854 TATE’S ONLINE RESEARCH JOURNAL Landmark Exhibitions Issue Curating by Numbers Lucy R. Lippard Cultural amnesia – imposed less by memory loss than by deliberate political strategy – has drawn a curtain over much important curatorial work done in the past four decades. As this amnesia has been particularly prevalent in the fields of feminism and oppositional art, it is heartening to see young scholars addressing the history of exhibitions and hopefully resurrecting some of its more marginalised events. I have never become a proper curator. Most of the fifty or so shows I have curated since 1966 have been small, not terribly ‘professional’, and often held in unconventional venues, ranging from store windows, the streets, union halls, demonstrations, an old jail, libraries, community centres, and schools … plus a few in museums. I have no curating methodology nor any training in museology, except for working at the Library of the Museum of Modern Art, New York, for a couple of years when I was just out of college. But that experience – the only real job I have ever had – probably prepared me well for the archival, informational aspect of conceptual art. I shall concentrate here on the first few exhibitions I organised in the 1960s and early 1970s, especially those with numbers as their titles. To begin with, my modus operandi contradicted, or simply ignored, the connoisseurship that is conventionally understood to be at the heart of curating. I have always preferred the inclusive to the exclusive, and both conceptual art and feminism satisfied an ongoing desire for the open-ended.

  • Eva Hesse Is One of the Most Renowned American Artists to Come of Age in the Immediate Aftermath of the Abstract Expressionists
    "I think art is a total thing. A total person giving a contribution. It is an essence, a soul.. In my inner soul art and life are inseparable" SYNOPSIS Eva Hesse is one of the most renowned American artists to come of age in the immediate aftermath of The Abstract Expressionists. Having fled her native Germany during the rise of Nazism, Hesse was originally schooled in American abstract painting and commercial design practices. She originally pursued a career in commercial textile design in New York City, but Hesse's practice as an expressionist painter led her to increasingly experiment with industrial and every-day, or "found" materials, such as rope, string, wire, rubber, and fiberglass. Reducing her means in the spirit of Minimalism, Hesse explored by way of the simplest materials how to suggest a wide range of organic associations, psychological moods, and what might be called proto- feminist, sexual innuendo. She also experimented with expressing semi-whimsical states of mind rarely explored in the modern era until © The Art Story Foundation – All rights Reserved For more movements, artists and ideas on Modern Art visit www.TheArtStory.org her all-too-brief debut. Thus Hesse arrived quickly at a new kind of abstract painting, as well as a kind of so-called "eccentric," freestanding sculpture. KEY IDEAS Professionally trained as an abstract painter and commercial designer, Hesse is a paradigmatic postwar American artist, much like Ellsworth Kelly, who regarded painting not as a two- dimensional surface, but as an object on the wall to be extended into the space of the viewer before it.
