  • Gillian Wearing 28 March – 17 June 2012, Galleries 1, 8 & Victor Petitgas Gallery (Gallery 9)
    Gillian Wearing 28 March – 17 June 2012, Galleries 1, 8 & Victor Petitgas Gallery (Gallery 9) The Whitechapel Gallery presents the first major international survey of Turner Prize-winning British artist Gillian Wearing’s photographs and films which explore the public and private lives of ordinary people. Fascinated by how people present themselves in front of the camera in fly- on-the-wall documentaries and reality TV, Gillian Wearing explores ideas of personal identity through often masking her subjects and using theatre’s staging techniques. This major exhibition surveys Wearing’s work from the early photographs Signs that Say What You Want Them to Say and Not Signs that Say What Someone Else Wants You to Say (1992–3) to her latest video Bully (2010) and also includes several new photographs made specially for the Whitechapel Gallery exhibition. Visitors to the exhibition enter a film set-style installation showcasing photographs and films in ‘front and back stage’ areas. Highlights include a striking photograph of the artist posing as her younger self, Self-Portrait at 17 Years Old (2003), Dancing in Peckham (1994), a film which blurs the boundaries between public space and private expression as Wearing dances in the middle of a shopping mall, and the UK premiere of recent film Bully (2010). New photographic works shown for the first time include two portraits of Wearing as artists August Sander and Claude Cahun as part of her ongoing series of iconic photographers, as well as still lives of flowers, looking back to th the rich symbolism of the great age of 17 century Dutch painting.

  • New Works on Video by Young British Artists to Open at the Museum of Modern Art
    The Museum of Modern Art For Immediate Release December 1997 NEW WORKS ON VIDEO BY YOUNG BRITISH ARTISTS TO OPEN AT THE MUSEUM OF MODERN ART New Video from Great Britain December 16,1997-February 1,1998 New Video from Great Britain, a survey of the remarkable new wave of work that has emerged from London and Glasgow in recent years, opens at The Museum of Modern Art on December 16, 1997. The program presents notable work by already established figures, such as Sam Taylor-Wood and Douglas Gordon, as well as emerging artists, some of whom are showing in New York for the first time. The two-hour program will be shown continuously in the Garden Hall Video Gallery on the Museum's third floor through February 1, 1998. The exhibition highlights the continuing penchant for conceptual- and performance-based works among young British video artists. Addressing themes of the body, personal identity, and subjectivity in ways that are provocative and playful, ironic and insightful, these works reveal an easygoing familiarity with popular culture that characterizes much of contemporary British life. "Simply and spontaneously shot (often on little more than a domestic camcorder), these 20 or so pieces have a visual impact, flair and invention that belies their low-tech origins and reverberates long after each tape has played," writes Steven Bode, Director of the Film and Video Umbrella, London, who organized the exhibition in conjunction with Barbara London, Associate Curator, and Sally Berger, Assistant Curator, Department of Film and Video, The Museum of Modern Art. -more- 11 West 53 Street, New York, New York 10019 Tel: 212-708-9400 Fax: 212-708-9889 2 "At first glance the young artists in this show appear to use the video camera to capture ordinary gestures, such as simply putting on clothes.

    PRESS RELEASE | LONDON FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE : 2 6 SEPTEMBER 2 0 1 6 BRIAN SEWELL, LESLIE WADDINGTON AND ART OF THE NINETIES : THE COLLECTORS THAT DEFINED LONDON’S ART WORLD FROM THE 1950s TO PRESENT DAY Top Row (L to R): Matthias Stomer, Brian Sewell and John Craxton, Middle Row (L to R): Leslie Waddington, Jean Dubuffet and Francis Picabia, Bottom Row (L to R): Douglas Gordon, Damien Hirst and Glenn Brown London – This autumn Christie’s will offer works from three private collections that trace the development and trajectory of the London art scene from the 1950s to present day. This begins with the collection of Brian Sewell, the Evening Standard’s late art critic, who was a Specialist in the Old Master Department at Christie’s in the 1950s and 60s, having graduated in Art History at the Courtauld Institute, and nurtured a keen appetite for Renaissance works that span the 1500s through to Modern British artists of the mid-20th century. He built up a distinctive collection and 248 lots will be offered on 27 September including paintings by the Flemish artist Matthias Stomer, works on paper by the likes of Daniele da Volterra and Joseph Anton Koch, and the British Modernism of Duncan Grant and Eliot Hodgkin. One of the most influential collectors that developed London’s tastes was Leslie Waddington, who arrived in the city in 1957 and went on to become one of the most prominent fine art dealers in modern times, introducing the art world to artists from Jean Dubuffet to Patrick Caulfield, bringing the British and European aesthetic to America for the first time, and American Abstract Expressionism to London.

It introduces key concepts in the exhibition through suggested ideas for conversations and actions, designed to help you and your group explore the galleries through critical discussions and practical activities. Conversations and actions are applicable to multiple works throughout the exhibition and intended for use in the Gallery and beyond. We have focused on works suitable for all ages, but have suggested extended conversations and actions around additional works for older students. Much of Gillian Wearing’s work deals with the voices and opinions of young people and adults reflecting back on their youth in very direct ways. It can be a fantastic learning resource and way of stimulating discussion about social issues often dealt with in the PSHE and Citizenship parts of the curriculum. Through her work, Wearing encourages people to discuss things they have been affected by, inviting them to talk openly and honestly in a safe environment. Participants in her work often use very graphic vocabulary and strong language in discussing issues such as sex and violence in a direct way which some younger viewers may be sensitive to.

    Bios: 2014 CHAUTAUQUA FACULTY/VISITING ARTISTS IN RESIDENCE Resident faculty (rf) teach from 1 to 7 weeks during the summer at Chautauqua. Visiting lecturers and faculty (vl, vf) are at Chautauqua for periods ranging from 1 to 5 days. LISA CORINNE DAVIS: Faculty, Hunter College "Lisa Corinne Davis' paintings occupy a point somewhere between cartooning and cartography, abstraction and figuration. Her carefully articulated images are oddly familiar but essentially ephemeral, visually resonant but also deliberately enigmatic. Davis’ subject has always been the exploration of racial, social, and psychological identity. She has developed her own vocabulary for rendering the world, a lexicon that expresses her personal experience as an African-American woman in the 21st Century, and, by extension, that of an individual in modern society. While subtly avoiding the clichés of special identity politics—if anything, challenging them—Davis provides the viewer with an evocative visual code for deciphering his own environment." (P. Hoban) Davis received her Master of Fine Arts degree from Hunter College and her Bachelor of Fine Arts from Pratt Institute. Her work has been exhibited nationally including exhibitions at June Kelly Gallery, Marlborough Gallery, Spanierman Modern, the Bronx Museum, and Von Lintel Gallery. She is currently represented by Gerald Peters Gallery New York, NY Galerie Gris in Hudson, NY and The Mayor Gallery, London. Her work is included in many collections, including that of The Museum of Modern Art in New York, the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles, The National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington, D.C., The Fine Arts Museum of San Francisco, and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.
