1. Clifford Owens, FF Alumn, at KinoSaito, Verplank, NY, Nov. 6-7

Greetings!

I’m writing from the beautiful hamlet of Verplank, New York, where I’ve been an artist in residence at KinoSaito for the past four weeks, to invite you to our Open Studios Weekend on November 6 & 7 from 1 – 6pm.

I’m having a marvelous experience of making art and being here in a space with the spirit of Saito and the genuine kindness of Mikiko Ino, who makes us feel at home. It’s simply beautiful here, and I sincerely hope that you can join us next weekend!

3. Lucy R. Lippard, FF Alumn, announces new publication, “I See/You Mean”

Lucy R. Lippard, FF Alumn, announces new publication
I See / You Mean
Lucy R. Lippard

New Documents is pleased to announce the availability of I See / You Mean, an experimental novel by writer, activist, and curator Lucy Lippard.

Written in 1970 and originally published in a revised form by Chrysalis Books in 1979, I See / You Mean uses a collage of photographic descriptions, overheard dialogues, sexual encounters, and found material to chart the changing currents in the relationships between two women and two men. Lippard’s novel was deeply influenced by her own journey toward feminism, which impacted both her writing process and the final form of the book.

“I See / You Mean is a bold feminist reimagination of the novel. Every page is a testament to Lippard’s lifework—as a critic, curator, and activist—as she has restlessly sought to dismantle and rebuild the world, starting with the stories we tell ourselves and others.” —Julia Bryan-Wilson

Afterword by Susana Torre
Edited by Jeff Khonsary
I See / You Mean is available directly from New Documents and through our distributors: Motto Books (EU / UK), Printed Matter (US), and Art Metropole (CA).

Order the Book
13.5 × 21 cm

Thank you.

This forum is co-sponsored by the UConn Department of Art and Art History and Africana Studies Institute.

Playwright Alva Rogers based the doll plays on the true story of African American doll collector Lenon Holder Hoyte (1905-1999) and her museum in Harlem. When she passes, the dolls in Ms. Hoyte’s collection seek to keep their beloved museum founder alive in their world by transforming her into a doll. The Doll Plays Reunion brings together the creative team of the original production: director Heather Henson, playwright Alva Rogers, and artist Holly Laws, to discuss the doll plays’ historical and cultural context, their experience of creating the play, and its relevance today. Shadow puppets made by artist Kara Walker which featured in the original production of 1998 are on display at the exhibition Puppetry’s Racial Reckoning at the Ballard Institute and Museum of Puppetry (closing October 30).

Alva Rogers is the descendant of James Rogers, one of the earliest black landowners in Cary, North Carolina, and Jordan Harrison McNair. Rogers, a descendant of George Rogers, slave, was the property of plantation owner Felix Rogers in Durham/Wake County. McNair, her maternal great, great, grandfather, was a Civil War soldier and then a landowner in Hoke/Robeson County, NC. Her writing career began with Rodeo Caldonia, a performance/theater collective she co-founded in 1985 (their work was in the traveling exhibit We Wanted A Revolution: Black Radical Women 1965- 85, at the Brooklyn Museum). Following an influential early career as a performance artist and film actor (Spike Lee’s School Daze, Julie Dash’s Daughters of the Dust), Rogers concentrated more on writing, earning MFAs in Musical Theatre Writing (NYU/Tisch; 1995) and Playwriting (Brown University; 1998). Rogers lived in Bandung, West Java, Indonesia, enjoying traditional Indonesian wayang kulit shadow puppet theater, and wayang golek rod puppetry. Her collaborations with Heather Henson and Holly Laws began in 1997 (@alvasworld)

Artist and designer Holly Laws’ professional experience is wide and varied. Her work runs the gamut from sculpture and multi-media installation, to puppetry and theater design. She is most interested in exploring work overlapping these disciplines. Laws received a BFA in Sculpture from Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, and an MFA in Sculpture from Tyler School of Art and Architecture at Temple University in Philadelphia. She moved to Arkansas in 2008 for a faculty position at the University of Central Arkansas, where she teaches in the Department of Art and Design.

7. March Avery, FF Alumn, at Parts & Labor Beacon, Beacon, NY, thru Jan. 30 2022

March Avery and Elisabeth Kley
October 30 – January 30, 2022
Opening Saturday, October 30th 4-6pm

Parts & Labor Beacon is pleased to present March Avery and Elisabeth Kley, an exhibition of recent monochromatic ceramic sculpture and vessels by Elisabeth Kley (b. New York, 1956) and a selection of vibrant figurative paintings and works on paper by March Avery (b. New York, 1932). Though these two artists analogously capture aspects of humankind and of life’s everyday moments – both present and past – their use of two distinct mediums freely allow for their works to register inversely.

In the black-and-white lines and contours of Elisabeth Kley’s ceramics are fragments of past civilizations and cultures, such as Ancient Egypt and Crete, transported into our present time. Her ceramics encompass in their surfaces designs and patterns from former eras set against the contemporary. Often associated with the Pattern & Decoration movement of the mid 1970s and early 1980s, Kley’s decorative style pulls from various art historical movements. Kley has noted: “I feel that that’s the history of art. People keep transforming things from the past…I like to think that I’m continuing that evolution.”

March Avery’s imagery focuses on ordinary, domestic, and daily occurrences in life. Depicting subjects in colorful shapes and spaces in a combination of figurative and abstract motifs, Avery’s images compress the visual world and its dimensionality into flat spaces, bursting with color, ultimately resulting in environments evocative of calm, soothing sanctuaries. Figures and landscapes rendered in simplistic shapes are gently arranged upon flat, generally monochrome, surfaces in a selection of colors evoking stillness. Avery’s distinct style is revealed through her rich palette, intricate brushstrokes, and forms that create mesmerizing compositions.

March Avery (b. 1932) lives and works in New York, and is represented by Blum & Poe, Los Angeles, New York, and Tokyo. Recent solo exhibitions include: March Avery, Blum & Poe, Los Angeles, CA (2020), and March Avery, Louise McCagg Gallery, Barnard College, Columbia University, New York, NY (2019). Her work is held in numerous public collections including the Brooklyn Museum, Brooklyn, NY; Bryn Mawr College, Bryn Mawr, PA; Chrysler Museum of Art, Norfolk, VA; Farnsworth Art Museum, Rockland, ME; Long Island Museum of American Art, History & Carriages, Stony Brook, NY; Newark Museum of Art, Newark, NJ; New Britain Museum of American Art, New Britain, CT; Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, Philadelphia, PA; Philadelphia Museum of Art, Philadelphia, PA; Vanderbilt University, Nashville, TN; Woodstock Artists Association & Museum, Woodstock, NY; among others.

Elisabeth Kley (b. 1956) lives and works in New York, and is represented by CANADA, New York. She has been nominated for awards and fellowships including the Rema Hort Mann Foundation Awards (2010) and the Joan Mitchell Foundation Fellowship (2009); and is a recipient of The Pollock-Krasner Foundation Award (1998). Solo and two-person exhibitions include The Fabric Workshop and Museum, Philadelphia, PA (2021); Gordon Robichaux, New York, NY (2019); and the Independent Art Fair, New York, NY (2018). Group exhibitions include I know where I’m going. Who can I be now, The Modern Institute, Glasgow, Scotland (2021); DOWNTOWN 2021, curated by Sam Gordon, La MaMa Galleria, New York, NY (2020); and Finding Our Way, lumber room, Portland, OR (2020). Her work has been reviewed and featured in publications such as The New York Times, The New Yorker, Art Journal, and The Brooklyn Rail.

Gallery hours are Saturday and Sunday from 12-6 pm, by appointment. Appointments may be made by text messaging or calling (206) 387-2556.

For images, biographies, and further information, please contact the gallery at info@partsandlaborbeacon.com.

Parts & Labor Beacon is founded upon an ethic of collaboration, seeking to expand beyond the parameters of established gallery models. Exhibitions at Parts & Labor Beacon will consist primarily of two artist presentations, engaging an emerging to mid-career contemporary artist in conversation with a more historically recognized artist in order to reframe and re-contextualize important dialogues while allowing intimate conversations to unfold. In pairing artists of different generations, the gallery’s objective is to create narratives that explain the connections to the impulses and inclinations each pair of artists share. Parts & Labor Beacon is located 15 minutes (walking) from both Dia:Beacon and MetroNorth’s Beacon station.

9. Betsy Damon, FF Alumn, at La Mama Galleria, Manhattan, thru Nov. 21

Betsy Damon — Passages: Rites and Rituals
Curated by Monika Fabijanska
October 15 – November 21, 2021
La MaMa Galleria
47 Great Jones Street
New York, NY 10003
Thursday – Sunday from 1pm to 7pm

Passages: Rites and Rituals is the first exhibition of Betsy Damon’s radical outdoor performance practice (1976-86). It will feature the documentation of eight public performances, as well as Body Masks—erotic photographs from a 1976 private performative session, which have never been presented publicly.

Activism and community-building have been central to Damon’s feminist practice since the 1970s. A leader among lesbian activists in New York, she co-edited the third issue of Heresies, Lesbian Art and Artists (1977), and participated in the first lesbian art show in the U.S. (1978), curated by Harmony Hammond at 112 Greene Street, and The Great American Lesbian Art Show at the Woman’s Building in Los Angeles (1980). Her early performances addressed the erasure of women’s narratives from history (Blind Beggarwoman, 1979-80, alluding to Homer), and gender-based violence (7,000 Old Year Woman, 1977-78; Rape Memory, 1978-79; What Do You Think About Knives?, 1980-81). Their non-conformist courage consists not just in their subjects but—strikingly—also taking them out to the streets of New York and other cities, often without an institutional umbrella. All of them placed woman’s agency in the center of the public space. Her performances as healing rituals soon grew to include concern for the environment (A Shrine for Everywoman, 1980-88 and Meditations with Stones for the Survival of the Planet, 1982-late 1980s), and she devoted her later practice to public space projects focused on preserving living water.

10. Stephanie Brody-Lederman, FF Alumn, at a83, Manhattan, thru Dec. 10

BITS
Opening October 28 2021

Bits, bites, pieces, fragments, and chunks of art and architecture. The selection of pieces included in the upcoming BITS exhibition at a83 reflects a preoccupation across visual disciplines with the composition and decomposition of signs and symbols, playing with adjacencies and associations of constituent parts to produce a reading of the whole which resists a prescriptive approach to viewership.

Drawing from postmodern techniques of collage and theories of linguistics the works included in the show employ glyphs, letters, pictographs, figures, and annotations to communicate visually. A multiplicity of readings are encouraged by strategic omissions. The often humorous ambiguity and/or obliqueness of the selected works included in BITS invests the experience of an observer encountering a visual artifact with more spontaneity, particularity, and agency as the gallery-goer is encouraged to engage their subjective experiences, cultural knowledge, and unconscious associations when interpreting the work.

Artists/Architects: Takefumi Aida, Stephanie Brody-Lederman, Buckminster Fuller, Michael Graves and Edward Schmidt, Charles Luce, OMA, Sam Tippett, and Roger Welch.

13. Guillaume Bijl, FF Alumn, at Meredith Rosen Gallery, Manhattan, thru Nov. 13

Meredith Rosen Gallery is pleased to present Installation: Fortune Teller, a new Transformation-installation by Guillaume Bijl. The show remains on view through Nov. 13.

Since 1979, Guillaume Bijl has contended with the status of exhibition space through his Transformation-installations by meticulously reconstructing gallery spaces into a Casino (1984), a Secondhand Cars Dealership (1984), a Fitness Center (1984), a Shooting Gallery (1985), among others. Each Transformation-installation is site specific, taking into account the architecture of the space and context of the location within a city. The gallery becomes displaced with a replica of an existing type of space. The precision of Bijl’s practice places the viewer in a disorienting scenario, wherein objects hover between the illusion of their expected setting and their situation as art objects. Bijl’s Transformation-installations have dealt with subjects as wide ranging as church, education, army, travelling, building, careerism, sex, psychiatry, and the rut of blue- collar existence. By foregrounding the lack of function within the art space, Bijl’s Transformation-installations suggest their reality as a fictional space. Installation shows what should not happen to the art space, he shows a sort of archeology of civilization in the present moment. This is the first exhibition of Guillaume Bijl in New York in over three decades.Guillaume Bijl (b. 1946 Antwerp, Belgium) has been included in numerous solo and group exhibitions internationally, including the Paris Biennial (1982), Kunsthalle Bern (1986), Belgian Pavillion – Venice Biennial (1988), New Museum, New York (1989), Documenta 9, Kassel (1992), Skulptur Projekte, Münster (2007), 11th Lyon Biennial (2011), Istanbul Biennial (2013) and Manifesta 11, Zürich (2016). Recently he has taken part in the following projects: Beaufort (2018), the Adriaen Brouwer year, Oudenaarde (2018), Play, Kortrijk (2018), Félicien Rops Museum, Namur (2018), Power to the People, Schirn Kunsthalle, Frankfurt (2018), the Bruegel year, Dilbeek (2019) Bijl’s work will be shown at Centre Pompidou, Shanghai (2021) This is his first exhibition with Meredith Rosen Gallery.

Don’t Shut Up 2021
Exhibition Tour And Meet The Artists
November 20, 2021 @ 2:00 PM – 4:00 PM
Newhouse Center for Contemporary Art, Snug Harbor Cultural Center,
Staten Island NY, Buildings C&G, Gallery G

Learn about female empowerment through art from the exhibiting artists of Don’t Shut Up 2021! At this insightful look into the work of the exhibition, guest curators Susan Grabel and Stefany Benson will lead a tour throughout the gallery. A select group of the Don’t Shut Up 2021 exhibiting artists will share stories and answer questions about their methods, message, and how they embed meaning in their materials.

Through interruptions, censure, violence and threatening behavior — both in person and online — women are silenced every day. Don’t Shut Up presents the work of 47 woman-identifying artists from across the US and Canada who are working to challenge and disrupt the status quo through their ongoing artistic practice. The mission of this exhibition is to provide a platform for those voices, to create awareness and to try to ensure that they are heard, valued and implemented.
