CVAN Open Letter to the Secretary of State for Education
Press Release: Wednesday 12 May 2021 Leading UK contemporary visual arts institutions and art schools unite against proposed government cuts to arts education ● Directors of BALTIC, Hayward Gallery, MiMA, Serpentine, Tate, The Slade, Central St. Martin’s and Goldsmiths among over 300 signatories of open letter to Education Secretary Gavin Williamson opposing 50% cuts in subsidy support to arts subjects in higher education ● The letter is part of the nationwide #ArtIsEssential campaign to demonstrate the essential value of the visual arts This morning, the UK’s Contemporary Visual Arts Network (CVAN) have brought together leaders from across the visual arts sector including arts institutions, art schools, galleries and universities across the country, to issue an open letter to Gavin Williamson, the Secretary of State for Education asking him to revoke his proposed 50% cuts in subsidy support to arts subjects across higher education. Following the closure of the consultation on this proposed move on Thursday 6th May, the Government has until mid-June to come to a decision on the future of funding for the arts in higher education – and the sector aims to remind them not only of the critical value of the arts to the UK’s economy, but the essential role they play in the long term cultural infrastructure, creative ambition and wellbeing of the nation. Working in partnership with the UK’s Visual Arts Alliance (VAA) and London Art School Alliance (LASA) to galvanise the sector in their united response, the CVAN’s open letter emphasises that art is essential to the growth of the country. -

Gagosian Gallery
Artforum January, 2000 GAGOSIAN 1999 Carnegie International Carnegie Museum of Art Katy Siegel When you walk into the lobby of the Carnegie Museum, the program of this year’s International announces itself in microcosm. There in front of you is atmospheric video projection (Diana Thater), a deadpan disquisition on the nature of representation (Gregor Schneider’s replication of his home), a labor-intensive, intricate installation (Suchan Kinoshita), a bluntly phenomenological sculpture (Olafur Eliasson), and flat, icy painting (Alex Katz). Undoubtedly the best part of the show, the lobby is also an archi-tectural site of hesitation, a threshold. Here the installation encapsulates the exhi-bition’s sense of historical suspen-sion, another kind of hesitation. Ours is a time not of endings but of pause. My favorite work, viewed through the museum’s huge glass wall, was the Eliasson, a fountain of steam wafting vertically from an expanse of water on a platform through which trees also rise up. It’s a heart-throbbing romantic landscape. Romantic, but not naive: The work plays on the tradition of the courtyard fountain, and the steam is piped from the museum’s heating system. Combining the natural and the industrial in a way peculiarly appro-priate to Pittsburgh on a quiet Sunday morning in early autumn, it echoed two billows of steam (or, more queasily, smoke?) off in the distance. When blunt physical fact achieves this kind of lyricism, it is something to see. Upstairs in the galleries, Ernesto Neto’s Nude Plasmic, 1999, relies as well on the phenomenology of simple form, but the Brazilian artist avoids Eliasson’s picturesque imagery. -

Marti Cormand They Might Be Giants September 10
Marti Cormand They Might Be Giants September 10 - October 3, 2020 Josée Bienvenu is pleased to present They Might be Giants, an exhibition of new works by Spanish born, American artist Marti Cormand. Through large scale pencil on paper drawings and a group of small scale oil paintings, Cormand reflects on the architectures of power with an extraordinary attention to detail. The exhibition will be on view from September 10 to October 3, the works will then travel to the Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum for Twenty Twenty (featuring Oasa DuVerney, Judith Eisler, Andy Mister, William Powhida, Gil Scullion and Diana Shpungin), from October 12, 2020 through March 14, 2021. "Invited to participate in an exhibition about the upcoming US election, I was inspired to visit the National Archives in Washington DC where the US Constitution, the Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights are housed. Walking up the grand staircase on Constitution Avenue, I fixated on the buildings monumental bronze doors – 38 feet high and over 6 tons. A 1936 photograph of the door showing the relationship in scale between the guard and the door is the subject of my recent work ‘They Might Be Giants’. The title is a reference to Cervantes’ Don Quixote, who believes that the windmills in the distance are ‘hulking giants’ and mistakes their blades for ‘long arms’. Feeling threatened by his delusion, he declares his intention to kill them.” Completed in 1935 by architect John Russell Pope, the National Archives building was designed in the Neoclassical style at a time when most architects were embracing Modernism. -

Diana Shpungin works under an acutely conceptual framework examining themes of memory, failure, longing and loss. Shpungin’s works employs a painstaking and obsessive process while seeking empathy across identity lines. For Diana Shpungin’s Drawing Of A House (Triptych) it all started with a simple pencil, a fundamental tool universal in its function and familiarity. The vacant house, a former rectory is converted into a massive public sculpture and three-dimensional drawing by way of it being entirely tediously encased by hand in graphite pencil. -
