Titi Freak: Vida Apaixonada

Titi Freak: Vida Apaixonada at Jonathan LeVine Gallery. "...For Vida Apaixonada (which is Portuguese for: Passionate Life), Titi Freak has created a new collection of original mixed media paintings, drawings and collages on a variety of alternative surfaces and found objects. He has also begun a new series of hand-carved etchings. Expanding on his signature style—working on canvas, wood panel, fabric, sake packaging and other found materials—the artist uses screens, stencils, spray paint drips, and graphic brush strokes of varying line quality. These elements collectively result in layers of vibrant colors, rich in pattern and texture." More Works by Titi Freak at his personal site.

New Works by Neo Rauch

Neo Rauch... Die Aufnahme (2008, Oil on canvas). From an exhibition of New Works by Neo Rauch at David Zwirner Gallery in New York. "...Educated at the now legendary Hochschule für Grafik und Buchkunst in Leipzig, Germany, Rauch (b. 1960) has become one of his generation’s most influential and virtuoso painters. He continues the rich tradition of Leipzig figurative painting. The artist transforms typical industrious scenes into veritable dreamscapes, transporting viewers to a deeply personal and enigmatic, symbolic universe."

A Dozen Posters from Paris May '68

Non à la bureaucratie (Atelier Populaire, Paris, 78 x 59 cm). From A Dozen Posters from Paris May '68. "...The posters from the May '68 Paris student movement became immediate collectors' items. An explosion of creativity accompanied the rebellion of the students: new slogans ('Ce nest qu'un début'), new newspapers (l'Enragé), flyers and graffiti. Students from the Ecole des Beaux-Arts were the first to introduce completely democratic poster production. They occupied their own classrooms and renamed them 'Atelier Populaire' [Popular Studio]."

Works by Walton Ford

Works by Walton Ford at Paul Kasmin Gallery. "...With meticulous detail, Ford's work depicts animals embodying degrees of personification in the context of isolated historical events. Transient moments recalled in Ford's work comment on, in his words, 'the cultural history of our relationship with animals.' Ford is especially interested in the perceptions of animals by humans as evidenced by documentation. After researching specific stories, Ford offers his interpretation—sometimes exaggerating the animal's supposed humanness and in other instances, stripping the animal of imposed metaphors, and thereby restoring the candor of the animal's bestial state."

Eddie Adams: Armed With A Camera

Eddie Adams... Marine Crossfire, Vietnam, 1965 (Archival Epson Print). From the exhibition Eddie Adams: Armed With A Camera at the Monroe Gallery of Photography. "...The exhibition of more than 65 photographs spans the entire range of Adams' legendary career, and includes rare vintage work prints from the personal studio collection of Eddie Adams. This year marks with the 40th anniversary of Adam's iconic 'Street Execution of a Vietcong prisoner', taken in 1968 in Saigon during the height of the Vietnam War. The shocking photograph, of the Chief of Police shooting a member of the Vietcong in the head, instantly appeared in newspapers and magazines world-wide and has been widely credited with turning American popular sentiment against the Vietnam War."

Earl Cunningham's America

Earl Cunningham's America at the American Folk Art Museum in New York. "...Cunningham's imaginary landscapes are marvels of the unexpected and the unlikely: Pink flamingos dot the shoreline of the Maine coast, New England cottages sit at the edge of Florida swamps, Viking ships float in harbors with schooners, and Seminole Indians wear feathered headdresses. In this make-believe world, Cunningham presents a nostalgic view of the past in which life is simple and elements of modern life are absent. His fascination with the past was in line with a larger national revival of interest in vernacular culture and American folk art in the 1920s and 1930s."

Works by Ben Gest

Works by Ben Gest at Stephen Daiter Gallery in Chicago, IL. "...Extending and evolving his discourse on the complexities and anxieties of private moments Gest's recent photographs describe the struggle of self-limitation. Expressed in careful constructions of gesture and posture these portraits explore personal conflict from early childhood through late adulthood."

Daido Moriyama: The 80s, Vintage Prints

Daido Moriyama... Memory of Dog 3 (1982, Vintage gelatin silver, printed 1982, 10 x 12 inches). From the exhibition Daido Moriyama: The 80s, Vintage Prints at Steven Kasher Gallery in New York. "...The 1980s finds Moriyama at his most lyrical. With the extreme provocations of his 60s and 70s work behind him, he turns to a plainer, more centered investigation of everyday life. His camera and his printing (he makes all his prints himself) are voracious, hungry all the time. He seems to be intent on finding beauty and meaning in every scrap and horizon that the sun reveals to his eye. The vintage prints in this show have an immediacy and rawness not found in the modern prints that are usually on the market."

Masao Mochizuki: Television 1975-1976

Masao Mochizuki... The World of Salvador Dali (1975.12.19, Film documentary - along with an interview, his works, towns where he grew up, etc. are shown. (NHK) Gelatin Silver Print mounted on board). From the exhibition Masao Mochizuki: Television 1975-1976 at Cohen Amador Gallery. "...In the 1970s, recognizing that it was no longer tenable to seek the imagery which defines history outside in the world, Mochizuki turned his focus to the way the external world is no longer experienced, but passively received through television. Using a Mamiya 6 x 6 twin lens camera, Mochizuki sat in front of a television in a darkened room taking multiple exposures of the imagery projecting outwards. In effect, the television comes to function as the lens of the camera, focusing external imagery for private, visual consumption. Through this, Mochizuki attempts to grasp what he calls the 'life-force' of television: its never-ending onslaught of imagery; how no matter whether there is a viewer or not, the television continues to stream images. Regardless of the gravity of the news being reported, or the excitement of a sporting event as it unfolds; the television is unflinching and unchanged by the events it depicts."

Heavy Light: Recent Photography and Video from Japan

Heavy Light: Recent Photography and Video from Japan at the ICP in New York. "...For the last several years, China has been the focus of attention for contemporary Asian art, while the remarkable and distinctive younger generation of Japanese artists who are working today has been largely ignored. This ICP exhibition will be the first major U.S. presentation of contemporary photo-based artwork from Japan in over ten years. Heavy Light will present the work of thirteen artists and will fill most of the ICP gallery space. The exhibition will include both photographs and video, many of which are large and dramatic pieces."

Neal Tait: The Dressmaker Who Lived on the Outskirts

Neal Tait: The Dressmaker Who Lived on the Outskirts at Tanya Bonakdar Gallery. "...Diverse in palette and composition, the paintings and drawings that make up the exhibition all result from a process that the artist describes as beginning quite openly; figures and characters come and go, and possible scenes begin to describe themselves through a dialogue. Each work presents its own set of problems and possible solutions, and different types of stories evolve through this engagement."

Works by Edwina White

Edwina White... She Left a Trail (2008, pencil, ink, gouache, and collage on paper). From Works by Edwina White at Kinz, Tillou + Feigen. "...White engages the patina of aged papers from an old ruled composition book, a lost family recipe, a menu, or a musical score in a songbook from the past-each already invested with meaning and memory. Her sparse drawings are enhanced with a painterly touch and at times augmented with delicate details of cut paper and collage, such as a lace collar or butterfly wing. White's escapades are infused with a gentle and wry humor, and imply some hidden allegory. Her subjects are distinctive, melding classical elements of expression with a modern sensibility."
