Contemporary: 1960s: Freedom and Conflict

November 14, 2008 – November 30, 2009

Art Gallery of Ontario Musée des beaux-arts de l’Ontario, 317 Dundas Street West Toronto Ontario Canada M5T 1G4

n the 1960s many people of the western world rejected conservative norms. Filled with hope for the future, they questioned governments, demanded civil rights and embraced sexual freedoms. What started in small youth and activist groups became a widespread movement for change. There was also a radical shift in art-making. Instead of just painting and sculpture, artists experimented with everyday objects, pop culture references, film and performance as they sought new freedoms of expression.

Classical Frieze

Exhibition runs November 15-22, 2009

Opening on Saturday, November 21, 2009, 5-8 pm

Reading by Eleanor Antin from "Conversations with Stalin"
Performance Saturday, November 21, 2009 4:30 pm

Galerie Erna Hecey, Rue des Fabriques 1c, 1000 Brussels

Erna Hecey is pleased to present “Classical Frieze”, a solo exhibition by Eleanor Antin.

“Classical Frieze” reflects Antinʼs continued attraction to allegory, Classical mythology and the embodiment of purloined identities through writing, performance, photography, video and film. Born and raised in New York, Antin moved to Southern California in the late 1960s, where she began impersonating prototypical West Coast figures such as The King of Solana Beach, a monarch who looks after “his” subjects and protects “his kingdom”ʼs integrity against the greed of real-estate developers.

“Memory, Longing, Desire: Painting and Sculpture by Ernest Silva”

Thursday, October 8, 2009, 7PM

Wine Reception: 6:30 PM,
Hosted by Travis Burleson - Burleson Pacific

Free - Open to the Public

The Auditorium, The Burnham Institute of Medical Research, 10905 Road To The Cure, La Jolla, 92037

The Bronowski Art & Science Forum presents Ernest Silva.

Ernest Silva’s paintings and sculptures (www.ernestsilva.org) are psychological landscapes bridging tranquil American subject matter and the disquieting, to reveal aspects of human nature. Silva uses images to trigger speculation, based on personal experience, though not autobiographical. The common denominators are the handmade, the emotive, and the sense that they may have been imagined, or recalled from memory. They can be read literally but easily move to metaphor.

Tijuana/San Diego: Cooperation and Confrontation at the Interface

Exhibition runs Monday, October 5 through November 25, 2009

Calit2 Theater / Atkinson Hall, University of California, San Diego, 9500 Gilman Drive, La Jolla, CA 92093

The gallery@calit2 presents "Tijuana/San Diego: Cooperation and Confrontation at the Interface" moderated by Eduardo Navas. The show brings together works by seven artists who draw upon the cultural landscape of the border region linking Tijuana and San Diego. While most of the artists are based in Tijuana, two of them - Lea Rudee and Fred Lonidier - are UC San Diego faculty members. The works in "Tijuana/San Diego: Cooperation and Confrontation at the Interface" range from digital prints to interactive multimedia. José Ignacio López Ramírez-Gastón's interactive spatialized sound installation, 24 Speakers and 24 Sound Sources, deployed in the interior of the gallery@calit2, enacts the concept of the democratization of knowledge and 'reversed migration' in the use of technology. In the main hallway, Media Womb creates an interactive sound cocoon made of recycled egg cartons - visitors' movements inside the womb modulate sounds connected to the media's mis/representations of Tijuana and transborder drug cartels. Media Womb is a collaboration from the artists of the CUBO Project: Giacomo Castagnola, Camilo Ontiveros, Nina Waisman and Felipe Zúñiga, with programming by Marius Schebella. Other works on display include former UCSD School of Engineering dean Lea Rudee's photographs documenting the Tijuana River's path across the border, revealing its many roles as drainage creek, city water supply, border crossing obstacle, and preserved salt marsh. UCSD Visual Arts Professor Fred Lonidier's N.A.F.T.A. #15 "Rio Tijuana Bridge: A Tale of Two Globes or Two Tales of a Globe/Puente del Rio Tijuana: Un Cuento de Dos Mundos o Cuentos de Un Mundo" provides a representation of the problematics of "globalization" from the perspective of the organized efforts by workers to make gains in labor rights and conditions of employment.

Giulio Carlo Argan said that realism is flagrant presence. That idea developed in his critique of the revival, which for him was a model of uncritical appropriation of the past. For Argan realism is the antithesis of revival, and provides both an historical awareness of the present. Choosing the title for this exhibition involves reviewing various points of view in approaching the past in the present and in revision of the definition of realism. In this project the concept of realism will be complemented and qualified by the concept of nostalgia. Those are the two key themes of the exhibition. The nostalgia here is not associated with the revival because it does not appear as recycling of past styles. In fact, both the work of Mark Lee as Rubén Ortiz Torres can be seen as criticism of the revival, as it is kitsch. They sense the nostalgia as a subjective state of reality and as a present state of culture ...

Acclaimed Portugese filmmaker Pedro Costa's work is marked by extraordinary intimacy and trancelike stillness. His films present the lives of Lisbon's disenfranchised migrants with unflinching honesty and dignity. This first UK retrospective of Costa’s risk-taking, beautiful work includes his new film, Ne Change Rien, as well as four programs of films that have inspired him, including work by Jean Eustache, Jean-Luc Godard, Jean-Pierre Gorin, Jean-Marie Straub & Danièle Huillet, and Andy Warhol.
