Professor Emeritus Eleanor Antin and Monica Duncan: Camouflages - La Casa Encendida, Madrid, Spain - Sept 17-Nov 1 '09

Student Project | Faculty Show


Professor Emeritus Eleanor Antin and Monica Duncan

Camouflages

September 17 through November 1 2009

La Casa Encendida, Ronda Valencia, 2 28012T Madrid, Spain

CAMOUFLAGES proposes searching out and describing the presence of camouflage in recent artistic creation. Camouflage is a recurrent sign of our visual culture: It has become a distinctive sign of urban tribes, a fashion medium of the large prêt-à-porter firms, a favorite attribute of fashionable singers, star of the films that portray our condition. And it is also a key notion to articulate an aesthetic, political and anthropological reflection on key matters of identity and subjectivity, or the recognition of deceit, surveillance, control, sham, disguise, a construction of what is real or the manipulation as distinctive signs of contemporary societies.

Prof. Emeriti Helen Mayer and Newton Harrison: The Force Maeure at Cardwell Jimmerson Cont Art

Faculty Show

Professor Emeritus Helen Mayer and Newton Harrison

The Force Majeure

Exhibition runs September 12 through October 31, 2009

Artists' Reception on Saturday, September 12, 2009, 6-8PM

Cardwell Jimmerson Contemporary Art, 8568 Washington Blvd.,
Culver City, CA 90232

The Force Majeure takes form as a body of photos, text, drawings, large-scale mappings, ecologically based proposals and global warming narratives. Indeed, the crisis of global warming is not a recent concern for these artists, but one they have addressed throughout an exhibition career going back to 1970. (The 1970-71 period, for example witnessed the Harrisons’ Ecosystem of the Western Salt Works at LACMA’s famous – or notorious – Art and Technology exhibition, their controversial Portable Fish Farm project at London’s Hayward Gallery and as well, a spirited debate with artist Robert Smithson on the paradoxes of art and ecology). The Harrisons, whose proposals have influenced long-term public policy planning, are internationally recognized for their visionary artworks grounded in the natural sciences.

HEAVEN

2nd Athens Biennale 2009

June 15 through October 4, 2009

Athens

The 2nd Athens Biennale 2009 HEAVEN is conceived as a multifaceted contemporary art festival that extends along the coastline of Athens, in the central areas of Palaio Faliro and Kallithea. XYZ, the founders and artistic directors of the Athens Biennale have invited a selected group of curators to contemplate Heaven, in a time that arguably is one of disappointment and conflict. The six exhibitions of the 2nd Athens Biennale 2009, designed by architect Andreas Angelidakis, take the form of autonomous approaches to this broad subject, that nevertheless communicate creatively and claim a degree of narrative cohesion. These six exhibitions are complemented by a series of performative events lasting all through the summer.
