Arnold Helbling - Building C

Centrik Isler — Sat, 11 Oct 2008 17:59:29 +0200

Von Lintel Gallery is pleased to present "Building C", an exhibition of new paintings by Arnold Helbling. In his latest body of work, Arnold Helbling takes his signature style of deconstructive, post-apocalyptic space and turns it on its head. The work is now additive. Helbling systematically builds information, not side-by-side or step-by-step, but somehow simultaneously, shifting from one reality to another, before taking it away, blocking it out with clouds of color or rigid squares of paint and paper. Time and space fade in and out and planes bleed into one another, building layers that are locked in space with no clear sense of chronology or vantage point.

Anton Henning - German Enlightenment

Centrik Isler — Sat, 11 Oct 2008 17:50:34 +0200

Zach Feuer Gallery is pleased to present "German Enlightenment," the gallery's second exhibition of work by German artist Anton Henning.

The exhibition comprises 15 paintings spanning from 2000 to 2008 and offering an insightful overview of Henning's painterly preoccupations over the last years. The titles - all the works are entitled "Interior", "Portrait" or "Still life" - announce rather traditional paint motifs. But Henning's headstrong definition of these motifs challenges our way to categorize art by blurring the borders between the different genres:

Beatriz Milhazes - New Work

Centrik Isler — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 16:15:13 +0200

James Cohan Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition of new works by artist Beatriz Milhazes. As one of the most celebrated Brazilian artists working today, Milhazes' exuberantly colored, rhythmically constructed abstract paintings, collages, prints and architectural installations are well-known worldwide. Milhazes merges all of the formal concerns inherent in abstract painting with a dizzying hybrid of influences that bounce off of each other to produce works in which, as the artist describes, "culture eats culture." In her attempt to make the viewer's eye "spin around," Milhazes deftly uses images as a distribution system for color.

Andreas Fogarasi - Fairview

Centrik Isler — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 16:01:34 +0200

Lombard Freid Projects is pleased to present "Fairview", the premier solo exhibition in the United States of Vienna based artist Andreas Fogarasi. Awarded the Golden Lion Prize at the 52nd Venice Biennale (2007), Fogarasi has designed his show at Lombard Freid around representations of place and the power of image branding in America. His work explores the mechanisms by which architecture and public space are constructed as both sites of daily experience and as spaces defined by political, economic and cultural interests.

Nicole Cherubini

Centrik Isler — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 17:34:05 +0200

D'Amelio Terras is pleased to present three new sculptures by gallery artist Nicole Cherubini. These large-scale pieces address compartmentalized processes of the clay tradition through Cherubini's exploratory merging of raw building materials, structural forms and surface ornamentation.

Cherubini's sculptures have been built by stacking clay forms on top of uncoated MDF, plywood, hunks of marble and alabaster. Turquoise tiles, spin-art cubes and pinched clay wreaths tether wooden armatures and grotesquely oversized Eva Hesse-inspired handles.

Centrik Isler — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 17:32:47 +0200

D'Amelio Terras is pleased to present a new video installation by Italian artist Massimo Bartolini for his first major solo show in New York. Bartolini's practice embraces various materials and techniques, from sculpture and performance to photography and video. Bartolini's artworks are highly experiential, inviting the viewer to reflect and potentially perceive the world in new ways.

Adam Dant - Temples and Theatres

Centrik Isler — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 15:20:25 +0200

British artist Adam Dant has been compared to the 18th century English artist, William Hogarth, in satirically exposing human folly. Last year he spent six months in the offices of the major English hedge fund companies studying the architecture, appointments, and the socio-behavioral aspects of the participants. Recently he has been interested in architecture, especially buildings and public spaces.

Centrik Isler — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 15:17:30 +0200

The winner of several World Press Photo Awards and Picture of the Year Awards, Stone vaulted to prominence in 1989 when he photographed the savage, bloody beating of the newly elected Vice President of Panama by thugs of Generalissimo Manuel Noriega.

Eric Beltz - The Good Land

Centrik Isler — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 19:31:16 +0200

Morgan Lehman is pleased to present "The Good Land", a solo exhibition featuring new works by Eric Beltz. Beltz's highly detailed graphite drawings address America's colonial history and our lack of connection to nature. The work also attempts to instill a sense of hope and healing in scenes of despair and disillusionment. Beltz's narratives are populated with figures of anonymous farmers and our founding fathers, and incorporate images of medicinal plants, native animals and texts from the Bible and the Egyptian and Tibetan books of the dead.

Paolo Arao - Fornever

Centrik Isler — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 18:05:48 +0200

Jeff Bailey Gallery is pleased to present Paolo Arao: Fornever, an exhibition of charcoal and graphite drawings.

Arao's drawings unfold in a cinematic-like narrative. Religious imagery, intimate portraits, artifacts of battle and depictions of crowds at rock concerts frame a narrative alluding to both ritualistic experiences and idolization.
