Das Gleiche nochmal anders - Über die Unmöglichkeit der Wiederholung
curated by Christian Ganzenberg
The group exhibition Das Gleiche nochmal anders - Über die Unmöglichkeit der Wiederholung (The same thing, but different - on the impossibility of repetition), curated by Christian Ganzenberg presents works by Leonor Antunes, Martin Boyce, Hanne Darboven, Ceal Floyer, Matthew Higgs, Bettina Krieg, Marcellvs L., Jim Lee, Sylvan Lionni, Patrick Fabian Panetta, Jürgen Partenheimer, Bojan Šar?evi? and Natalia Stachon.
Not only is repetition responsible for making the world experiencable; the “eternal return of the same” (Nietzsche) is itself a recurrent theme in the humanities and among artists. The same thing, but different - on the impossibility of repetition takes up this discourse and discusses some discusses central terms, identity, time and difference, on the basis of the selected works. The exhibition seeks to display the processuality, the positive aspects, and the unavoidability of repetition in artistic creation and to conceive rediscovery as an aspect of creative new beginning.

Jürgen Partenheimer | Renga
8 September through 13 October 2012
The works on paper in the exhibition Renga were made by Jürgen Partenheimer (Munich, Germany, 1947) during his first visit to South Africa in 2011. For three months Partenheimer was resident at the Nirox Foundation outside of Johannesburg, in the world heritage site known as the Cradle of the World. Here he created an archive of images and texts, partly direct observations, partly imaginary. This South African Diary in which also direct studies after nature can be found (a branch from a thorn-bush, excrements of wild animals he saw coming by) constitutes the basis of a larger group of works. In South Africa Partenheimer made drawings, watercolours, a suite of prints and an artist’s book he made in cooperation with the poet Lebogang Masile of whose work he is a big fan. The series of paintings inspired by all of this came into being later, upon the return to his German studio. In the opening exhibition of the new season Galerie Onrust shows a broad selection from the Renga series.A publication Works Renga with an essay by Bronwyn Law-Viljoen is available.

Abstract? The nature of the painting
Roger Raveelmuseum from 8. April till 17. June 2012
Karel Dierickx, Eugène Leroy, Roger Raveel, Pierre Tal Coat, Bram van Velde & Maurice Wyckaert
The exhibition Abstract? The nature of the painting at the Roger Raveelmuseum is dedicated to artists whose “abstraction” is based on the perception of reality. It questions the construction of the pictural image, from figuration to absbstraction and vice-versa. Painting of nature becomes the nature of the painting. It is the expression of a characteristical attitude of a number of European artists who, at the end of the 1950’s and the beginning of the 1960’s – independantly from each other – developped an artistic practice in which the act of painting depends in essence from the act of looking.
Examples of this already historical period are found in the work of Eugène Leroy (F), Roger Raveel (B), Pierre Tal-Coat (F), Bram van Velde (NL & F) and Maurice Wyckaert (B). In the case of Karel Dierickx (B), we are facing a contemporary practice that continues to reinforce an inexhaustable pictorial position.

 Krijtdiertje, (Otwornice) with poetry by Wislawa Szymborska,
and lithography by Ronald Noorman
(first draft of the cover) |

|
Museum De Pont | March 18, 14 00 | Presentation of Krijtdiertjes, a limited edition artist's book with poems by Wislawa Szymborska and prints by Ronald Noorman.
In 2012 Ergo Pers will publish a limited edition artist's book with Nobel Prize winner Wislawa Szymborska and Ronald Noorman, in which the minimalism of Noorman is juxtaposed to the wit and deceptive simplicity of Szymborska's poetry.
Well-known in her native Poland, Wislawa Szymborska received international recognition when she won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1996. In awarding the prize, the Academy praised her “poetry that with ironic precision allows the historical and biological context to come to light in fragments of human reality.”
In the New York Times Book Review, Stanislaw Baranczak wrote, “The typical lyrical situation on which a Szymborska poem is founded is the confrontation between the directly stated or implied opinion on an issue and the question that raises doubt about its validity. The opinion not only reflects some widely shared belief or is representative of some widespread mind-set, but also, as a rule, has a certain doctrinaire ring to it: the philosophy behind it is usually speculative, anti-empirical, prone to hasty generalizations, collectivist, dogmatic and intolerant.”

Krijtdiertjes (Otwornice) is published by Ergo Pers in a limited edition of 40 copies, numbered and signed by the artist.

Ronald Noorman | SOLACE - works on paper
Museum De Pont | 24 September - 20 November 2011
Ronald Noorman (1951) is, beyond a doubt, a draughtsman at heart, being an artist who makes full use of the qualities and potential of his medium. Aside from intimacy and transparency, terseness is a particularly striking characteristic among the recent drawings of his exhibition in the project space.

JÜRGEN PARTENHEIMER „LEMKE“
3.9. – 27.11.2011
MIES VAN DER ROHE HAUS
Kunst- und Kulturamt Lichtenberg von Berlin
Oberseestraße 60
13053 Berlin
Tel/Fax: 030 970 006 18
www.miesvanderrohehaus.de
The Mies van der Rohe House (Landhaus Lemke) has invited Partenheimer to exhibit his works as part of this year’s thematic series “MIES 125” in honour of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe’s 125th birthday. For the occasion, the artist will install a site-specific exhibition titled “Lemke” at the house, which is the last residential building to be constructed by Mies van der Rohe in Germany. Partenheimer’s concept involves projecting an imagined dialogue between the building’s owner and the architect as a timeless construct of artistic interpretation and spatial demarcation.
The contrast between residential space and exhibition space is the primary inspiration for the exhibition’s layout, in which Partenheimer addresses the much-discussed issue of artistic intermediality. His concept accommodates both the requirements and the possibilities of a spatial composition that combines the social reality of architecture with the aesthetic impact of art. Partenheimer will install his works in the rooms of the Mies van der Rohe House, using drawings, paintings and sculptures to delineate different spaces. In addition, the artist will create a work specifically for the site in the form of a “drawing” on wallpaper produced in collaboration with the company AS Création; a trust established by the company’s founder is providing generous support for the project. A sculpture, a vessel-shaped object designed specifically for another one of the rooms, will be produced for the exhibition in collaboration with master craftsmen at the Nymphenburg Porcelain Manufactory. The exhibition will be opened by Prof. Wolf Tegethoff (Director of the Zentralinstitut für Kunstgeschichte, Munich) on Saturday, 3 September at 6 pm.

Jürgen Partenheimer in Residency: 16 September – 15 November 2011
David Krut Projects is pleased to present an exclusive evening of conversation about books with renowned German artist Jürgen Partenheimer on Thursday 27 October at 6:30 pm.
David Krut Projects, Arts on Main
264 Fox Street, City and Suburban, Johannesburg.
David Krut Projects in association with NIROX Foundation and the Goethe Institute would like to invite you to an intimate conversation about the books of renowned artist J?rgen Partenheimer. The evening will be hosted by Bronwyn Law-Viljoen, from Fourthwall Books, in conversation with the artist. Partenheimer is a major German artist with a distinguished international career. Throughout his career he has engaged successfully in interdisciplinary projects in which he addresses the issue of artistic intermediality, inspiring collaborations across various disciplines, with special focus on contemporary music and poetry. Having taught extensively throughout the world as a visiting professor, he is an articulate and fluent speaker.
Partenheimer's residency at NIROX Foundation, with the support of the Goethe-Institut Johannesburg, started on 16 September and runs until 15 November 2011. Since his arrival at NIROX, he has met and engaged with local artists and arts personalities to develop a fascinating program, whilst continuing to pursue his primary work as an artist in his NIROX studio. Some of his activities include an exhibition at NIROX Projects, on 10 November 2011, showing work done at his Nirox studio including a poetry reading by Lebo Mashile and Jill Richards's performance of a piece by Kevin Volans who had recently dedicated a comosition to Jürgen Partenheimer's work. Leading up to the event Partenheimer will be producing an artist book of Lebo Mashile's recent poems inspired by his work, in collaboration with Mark Attwood and Lunetta Bartz. As a tribute to their collaboration, Lebo will read and perform her poetry in the NIROX Amphitheatre at sunset on Sunday 12 November, in Kromdraai.
Amongst the events the artist has been invited by the Wits School of the Arts to present a critique session for the senior students at Wits University. He was also invited to develop a suite of three prints in the David Krut Workshop at Arts on Main. These prints, which will belong to the South African Diary, form part of the exhibition at NIROX Projects at Arts on Main.
The abstract quality created in his works are best described by the Director of the Pinacoteca Do Estado in São Paulo, Marcelo Mattos Araújo: “Like a musical composition, they vibrate with the rhythm, repetition and juxtaposition of forms; they seem to express a state of uncertainty and inconsistency, seductively calling in question the viewer’s own preconceived certainties.”

The prints Jürgen Partenheimer created at David Krut Workshop form part of his South African Diary. The three large prints are independent works that collectively form a triptych. When David Krut invited Partenheimer to create a suite of prints at the workshop, the idea of a small group, which form an interrelated and coherent energy, appeared very appealing. During the preparation of the prints, which combine linoleum cut, different etching techniques and chine collé, proofs of preparatory forms turned into independent prints and extend the suite by three small linoleum cut editions. The title of the prints, Folded Spirits corresponds directly to Jürgen Partenheimer´s notes, drawings, watercolours, texts, poems, and his artist book.

John Ashbery |Recent Collages
October 20 – December 3, 2011
Tibor de Nagy Gallery, 724 Fifth Avenue New York
www.tibordenagy.com
The Tibor de Nagy Gallery presents an exhibition of new collages by acclaimed poet John Ashbery. This is the gallery's second solo exhibition devoted exclusively to Ashbery's collages, following his hugely successful debut with the gallery in 2008. Ashbery was fascinated in his youth by the collage novels of Max Ernst and the partly collaged Cubist paintings of Picasso and Braque. He started making collages as an undergraduate at Harvard, and has continued the collage process in both his visual and literary creations ever since. Influenced by such collage giants as Kurt Schwitters, Joseph Cornell, and more directly, Joe Brainard, Ashbery's work combines equal doses of art historical and contemporary pop culture references.These recent works are more inventive and confidently his own than ever before. Ashbery continues to explore the collage medium, pushing the imagery into increasingly amorphous shapes with unexpected and often humorous juxtapositions, in much the same way that he has consistently pushed the boundaries of poetry.Considered by many to be the most important living poet writing in English, Ashbery has published more than twenty collections, most recently Planisphere (2009, Ecco), and his highly acclaimed translation of Arthur Rimbaud's Illuminations (2011, Norton). In May he received the Medal of Honor of New York University's Center for French Civilization and Culture, and in November he will be presented with the National Book Foundation's Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters.Ashbery was born in Rochester, New York, in 1927. His Self-Portrait in a Convex Mirror won the three major American prizes - the Pulitzer, the National Book Award, and the National Book Critics Circle Award. He served as executive editor of Art News and as the art critic for New York magazine and Newsweek. A member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, he was a chancellor of the Academy of American Poets from 1988 to 1999. The winner of many prizes and awards, both nationally and internationally, he received two Guggenheim Fellowships and was a MacArthur Fellow from 1985 through 1990.

nul = 0
dutch avant-garde in an international context, 1961 - 1966
Stedelijk Museum Schiedam
11 September 2011 – 22 January 2012
www.stedelijkmuseumschiedam.nl
From 11 September 2011 to 22 January 2012, the Stedelijk Museum Schiedam will present the exhibition entitled nul = 0. nederlandse avant-garde in een internationale context, 1961 – 1966 (nul = 0. dutch avant-garde in an international context, 1961 – 1966). This will be the first time since the controversial exhibition in the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam in 1965 that a large-scale exhibition will be organized in which the work of Dutch Nul-artists – Armando, Jan Henderikse, Henk Peeters, Jan Schoonhoven and herman de vries – will be displayed in relation to artists from the German ZERO, the French Nouveau Réalisme, the Italian Azimuth and the Japanese Gutai movements. The exhibition is a precursor of the international rediscovery of the ZERO generation with artists such as Lucio Fontana, Yves Klein, Otto Piene and Jan Schoonhoven.
The Nul-group, founded in 1961, arose with the objective of creating a new future in which art and reality merg ed together. Besides ‘modern’ plastic, the artists’ materials included smoke, water, wind and light. Their approach was characterized by cool impersonality, in contrast to the passionate and colourful art of the fifties. The Nul-artists discovered a new beauty of serenity, repetition and uniformity. With the organization of international exhibitions in conjunction with kindred spirits, they stood on the brink of artistic developments in the seventies and, as such, were precursors of Minimal, Conceptual and Land Art.
In the exhibition, total installations, utopian models, historical objects, reconstructions, authentic films and photos will show the unique history of an unparalleled international avant-garde. An exceptional aspect will be the attention devoted to the unrealized last Nul manifestation called Zero op Zee (Zero at Sea), the plan to set up more than thirty installations on Scheveningen Pier, thus generating a total experience for passers-by and visitors. Zero op Zee marked the end of Nul as a movement.
The exhibition has been realized in close co-operation with the ZERO foundation, Düsseldorf.
An extensive publication by NAi Publishers Rotterdam will accompany the exhibition.

Berlinde De Bruyckere, Lingam (2010)
© Olbricht Collection |
• • • |
Following their initial collaboration in 2009, which focused on the collection of the House of Savoy, the museums of Flanders and of northern Italy are once again putting their respective schools of painting into perspective with a stunning selection of pictures. From the 15th to the 18th century, the exhibition presents four centuries of contrast between 15 masterpieces from the Royal Museum of Fine Arts Antwerp and some fifty paintings from the Accademia Carrara in Bergamo, one of the finest collections of Venetian paintings in existence. Venetian and Flemish Mastersis organised chronologically in four sections, one for each century; within each section, four major themes are highlighted - the portrait, saints in a natural setting, the sacred and the profane, and panoramic views. In thequattrocento Bellini's portraits influenced Van Eyck, while the northern painter exportedhis naturalism. In thecinquecento the Venetians moved beyond the techniques of the Flemish Primitives. Titian, Tintoretto, and Veronese created an explosion of colour and brought new light into the landscapes of Patenier. In theseicento, Rubens, in Italy, had an influence on Tiepolo. Thesettecento, finally,saw a proliferation of styles in a Venice in decline, from Canaletto's snapshots to the sarcastic genre paintings of Guardi, which influenced the love of excess in the work of Jordaens. In short: the Venetian and Flemish schools could not have existed without each other.
The Venetian and Flemish Masters exhibition, presented in four sections, takes us through four key centuries for European painting (from the 15th to the 18th century) and illustrates the many points of contact and mutual influences involved in the relations between Brussels, Bruges, Antwerp, and Venice in terms of training and emulation:
· the quattrocento, highlighting the birth of the portrait and devotional painting, contrasting the work of Pisanello and Giovanni Bellini with that of other masters such as Rogier van der Weyden;
· the cinquecento, landscapes and devotional works, including Titian, Palma il Vecchio, and Veronese, presented alongside their Flemish colleagues;
· the seicento – the sacred and the profane – when Rubens, Padovanino, and Tiepolo made an appeal to the senses in their depictions of both sacred and profane subjects;
· genre scenes and views from the settecento, presenting the parallels between Canaletto, Francesco Guardi, and Pietro Longhi and the Northern masters who, on occasion, preceded and influenced them.
Berlinde de Bruyckere's intervention in the exhibition
The internationally renowned Ghent artist Berlinde de Bruyckere (born in Ghent in 1964) works on, sculpts, interrogates, and illustrates the human body in particular. Looking at history and humanity from a global perspective, her art draws its inspiration primarily from painting, both early and modern. Taking her references for the most part from German and Italian painting, she accepted the invitation to engage with a number of works from Venetian and Flemish Masters : she presents two of her own works in the exhibition.
Housed in a wooden container, Lingam features a strung-up body which appears all the more disturbing for its missing head and limbs. Berlinde De Bruyckere has constantly referred to art history in her work, and this one instantly reminds me of Titian's masterpiece, the Flaying of Marsyas, one of the bloodiest images of the Renaissance. But the title here refers to a traditional representation of the Hindu goddess Shiva, adding another layer of mystery to this unforgettable sculpture. |

This unique presentation testifies to the exceptional diversity of the artist’s body of work, which takes spectators on a journey through intricate mindspaces. The drawings on paper, sculptures, paintings and photographic works in this exhibition, many of which have never been shown to the public before, bear witness to the ongoing development of Partenheimer’s »magical-subjective« brand of abstraction.

R. Noorman, o.T. 2008, Gouache, 15 x 39,8cm |
• • • |
Ronald Noorman hat die Zeichnung als primäres Mittel gewählt, um seine Phantasie zum
Ausdruck zu bringen. Was ihn darin anzieht, ist die Direktheit des Mediums.
Beim Zeichnen sind die Abstände zwischen dem Gedanken, der Handbewegung und dem
Zeichen, das auf Papier erscheint, minimal, in der Zeit sowohl als im Raum. Die
technischen Mittel - Bleistift, Kreide, Wasserfarbe, Gouache - sind viel
weniger widerspenstig als Ölfarbe, Kupferplatte oder Stein und es ist
selbstverständlich viel leichter, damit Experimente zu machen: was mißlingt,
oder nicht gefällt, geht in den Papierkorb. Andererseits ist die Zeichnung
erbarmungslos; Irrtümer wegwischen oder bedecken ist kaum möglich. Außerdem
scheint man als Betrachter direkt über die Schulter des Künstlers mitzuschauen,
so direkt ist der Kontakt. Das geringste Zögern, Irren oder Umdenken des
Zeichners wird sofort bemerkt. (Carel van Tuyll van Serooskerken)
In der zweiten Ausstellung der Galerie Werner Klein werden Arbeiten
aus den letzten fünf Jahre gezeigt. Ronald Noorman lebt und arbeitet in Amsterdam.
Seine Zeichnungen, Druckgrafiken und Künstlerbücher sind in den wichtigsten
niederländischen Sammlungen vertreten. Das De Pont Museum in Tilburg widmet
ihm im kommenden Jahr eine Ausstellung.

Raoul De Keyser
Airy
September 8 - October 9, 2010
Wednesday through Saturday, 2 to 6 pm
ZENO X GALLERY
Leopold De Waelplaats 16
2000 Antwerpen
www.zeno-x.com
Antwerp – Zeno X Gallery is very pleased to announce the exhibition ‘Airy’, a solo show with new works by Raoul De Keyser. Next to twelve new paintings, two earlier works will be exhibited. Installed at the entrance space of the gallery is ‘Zevende Linnen Doos’, an important work from 1971. Between 1966 and 1971, whilst exploring the spatial limitations of the pictorial surface, De Keyser made a series of seven linen boxes, each comprising a wooden frame on which canvas was stretched and painted. While the first linen boxes bore the familiar figurative elements of a garden hose or a tent, the late ones as ‘Zevende Linnen Doos’ consist primarily of a juxtaposition of larger autonomous areas of colour spread around the sides of the box. The spatiality and tangibility of the work bear references to Minimal art, but the green surfaces and the framing white lines also recall football, favorite sport of De Keyser, and link it to Pop Art. Next to ‘Untitled’, a monumental geometric painting from 1988, are twelve new paintings on view. Small in scale, they are painted with various materials as acryl, oil watercolour, charcoal and gesso. Vivid colours, such as the yellows and reds in the work ‘Airy’ or the deep blues in ‘Passage’, are altered with more washed out and grubby colours as in ‘One’ and ‘Again’. Intriguing fragmentary forms and lines appear, painted with rapid and sparse brush strokes, that continue to surprise and at the same time feel so familiar in De Keyser’s work, like the irregularly-shaped ‘islands’ in ‘Fire’. The seemingly nonchalance with which these forms are painted and the dinginess that shimmers through the different drawing and paint layers contrast with the supposedly clear pictorial structure.

Horse, deer and man metamorphose in Berlinde De Bruyckere’s exhibition for Hauser & Wirth Zürich. De Bruyckere’s work deals with death and transfiguration and looks to stories and art of the past to address anxieties that remain current. Her sculptures accomplish an almost alchemical transformation of wax into flesh, and out of this fantastical realism she creates intolerably mutated bodies: figures lack heads, borrow and reconfigure anatomies, become amorphous, vegetal and abstract. Their distortions emphasise our own fragile existence. ‘I want to show how helpless a body can be,’ De Bruyckere has said. ‘Which is nothing you have to be afraid of — it can be something beautiful.’
GALLERIA CONTINUA Le Moulin presents 1 venue, 4 exhibitions
Artists in this exhibition: Berlinde De Bruyckere, Urs Lüthi, Serse, Kendell Geers, Anish Kapoor, Liu Jianhua, Moataz Nasr, Luca Pancrazzi, Michelangelo Pistoletto, Arcangelo Sassolino, Pascale Marthine Tayou

Hanns Schimansky La Ligne Claire
29 May 2010 - 25 September 2010
GALERIE JAEGER BUCHER
5 & 7 rue de Saintonge 75003 Paris France
The german artist Hanns Schimansky proposes in his scriptural drawings to live the rhythm of the world by capturing and prolonging the unattainable intensity of the moment, by calling out and provoking chance, creating a slowdown in opposition the breakneck speed of our media-centered world. Like an agronomist, which he once was, with full knowledge of his fields, the drawing traces out lines from on place to another, seeking liberation from all restrictions and rules. "Hanns Schimansky moves in a world of abstraction which has fostered an entirely new hieroglyphic language. (..) The preoccupation with these forms is reduced entirely to this contrast between a swaying, pulsating interlaced web of lines and the geometric rectangular entities floating on top of them. (..) The contemplation of Schimansky's world of signs, like Cage's music opens up a zone of exception, an unoccupied space of freedom that allows the viewer to experience a kind of catharsis". (Doris von Drathen).
Extract from the catalogue published by the Gallery Jaeger Bucher on the occasion of the inaugural exhibition, entitled "Expansion - Résonance", from October 20, 2008 to January 17, 2009.

MODERN TIMES responding to chaos
drawings and films selected by Lutz Becker
3 April - 13 June 2010
This exhibition comprises drawings, prints and experimental films, and explores the recurring tension between figuration and abstraction throughout the 20th century and the ways by which ideas and concepts evolve. Presented non-chronologically, it encompasses movements such as Russian Constructivism, Futurism and Vorticism, Abstract Expressionism and Minimalism, and comprises works by key artists, as well as works of artists who have been sidelined in the mainstream of art history.
Film-maker, painter and curator Lutz Becker traces a personal path through the art of the 20 th century. He writes: ' It is the awareness of time as the measure of the distance between thought and realisation, of the value of the transient and sense of the fragility of the inspirational moment, that made me decide to show predominantly works on paper. Drawing, no longer about the recording of appearances, is a language reflecting its own becoming, often daring and experimental. The inclusion of film will extend the idea that mental and physical motion are key experiences common to artists and audience.

Fifty Works for Fifty States: The Dorothy and Herbert Vogel Collection
January 22–May 9, 2010
ALBRIGHT-KNOX ART GALLERY
1285 Elmwood Avenue
Buffalo, New York 14222-1096
Dorothy and Herbert Vogel built a world-class collection through modest means. Herbert Vogel (born 1922), who spent most of his working life as a postman, and Dorothy Vogel (born 1935), who was a reference librarian at the Brooklyn Public Library, gave up vacations and creature comforts by devoting the entirety of Herbert’s salary to collecting and acquiring works by contemporary artists. In 1992, the Vogels formed a partnership with the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., placing in their custody more than 1,100 works of art as gifts or promised gifts. As they continued to acquire works of art and the Vogels’ collection grew, it became unreasonable to gift the collection in its entirety to any singular institution, leading to the development of the Fifty Works for Fifty States project.

Whitney Museum of American Art: 2010 Whitney Biennial
Suzan Frecon (a.o)
February 25 - May 30 2010
,2010,artists: David Adamo,Richard Aldrich,Michael Asher,Tauba Auerbach,Nina Berman,Huma Bhabha,Josh Brand,The Bruce, High Quality, Foundation,James Casebere,Edgar Cleijne and, Ellen Gallagher,Dawn Clements,George Condo,Sarah Crowner,Verne Dawson,Julia Fish,Roland Flexner,Suzan Frecon,Maureen Gallace,Theaster Gates,Kate Gilmore,Hannah Greely,Jesse Aron Green,Robert Grosvenor,Sharon Hayes,Thomas Houseago,Alex Hubbard,Jessica Jackson, Hutchins,Jeffrey Inaba,Martin Kersels,Jim Lutes,Babette Mangolte,Curtis Mann,Ari Marcopoulos,Daniel McDonald,Josephine Meckseper,Rashaad Newsome,Kelly Nipper,Lorraine O’Grady,R.H. Quaytman,Charles Ray,Emily Roysdon,Aki Sasamoto,Aurel Schmidt,Scott Short,Stephanie Sinclair,Ania Soliman,Storm Tharp,Tam Tran,Kerry Tribe,Piotr Ukla?ski,Lesley Vance,Marianne Vitale,Erika Vogt,Pae White and Robert Williams.
For more than four decades, Suzan Frecon has produced abstract works that reveal a deep reverence for the practice of painting. Frecon carefully plans her images, first deciding on the dimensions of the work and the paint colors to be used (often grinding her own pigments to achieve the desired effect). She then figures out the precise imagery in sketches, using geometric formulas as well as her own visual intuition to create related forms in which dissonant features are suspended in balance.
In embodiment of red (soforouge), two heaving shapes, painted in earth red hues that vary in tone and luster, seem to dissolve into the background and assert their materiality through strong contours. The figure-ground relationships in each panel derive from the canvas size: in the top panel, the rounded form’s width is identical to the panel’s height, while the curved form of the bottom panel connects two of its corners.
Frecon’s abstract forms may invite associative leaps to architectural or art historical references—she has cited her interest in varied art historical sources such as the Chartres Cathedral, Minoan labyrinths, Byzantine painting, and Pomo baskets—but ultimately, the works remain non-referential. |

Learn to Read Art: A History of Printed Matter
On view October 8, 2009 - January 4, 2010 | P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center, New York
Learn to Read Art: A History of Printed Matter paints a picture of Printed Matter, the artists' bookstore, through a history of its publishing activity from 1976 to the present. On view in the Third Floor Archive Galleries.
The exhibition radically questions the notion of art as an elitist structure, and proposes an art conceived along democratic ideals, a low-cost art that travels out into the world through the distribution systems usually reserved for books and periodicals, or popular music. Featuring more than 100 international artists, Learn to Read Art explores the artists' desire to create with the idea that art is both intimate, and for everyone. |

Raphaël Buedts | 5 September 2009 - 15 November 2009
| S.M.A.K., Ghent
They are something you have to get used to, these ‘furniture objects’ by Raphaël Buedts, which he compiled at the end of the seventies and in the eighties. They have been made from unusual materials, like discarded furniture, twigs, sheets of material, sticks and strips of wood. Apart from this he used rope, lead, canvas, silk, bricks and in some cases even shells. His handwork is aimed at using the material to create something spiritually and sensually tangible. Sometimes you have the feeling that he is trying to break through their close, uncommunicative aspect, and sometimes it seems as if his aim is to keep them in a form that is as introvert as possible.
Starting on 5th September 2009 the S.M.A.K. will be holding an exhibition in association with Cera together with the presentation of a book compiled by Frank Maes. On display will be an overview of his work, especially his sculptural work, as well as his drawings and paintings.

Raoul De Keyser 'Gemälde 1964-2007' | Kunstmuseum Bonn
Until -18 10 2009
Raoul De Keyser is without doubt one of the most important European painters of the past decades. He was born in Deinze, Belgium, in 1930. Although his work has been internationally acclaimed since the 1980’s, there has not yet been a comprehensive exhibition in Germany which has focussed on the development of his oeuvre. The planned exhibition in Bonn will try to correct this deficiency. The exhibits on display will cover forty years of this artist’s work.

Philippe Vandenberg, L'image Maudite (The Cursed Image)
Envoy
East Village / Lower East Sid
131 Chrystie Street, 212-226-4555
December 18, 2008 - January 25, 2009
envoy enterprises is proud to announce Philippe Vandenberg’s second solo exhibition in New York City. A selection of paintings and drawings from the last twenty years lead us through a complex, poetic and emotionally intelligent oeuvre of one of Belgium’s most prominent contemporary artists.
L’image Maudite (the Cursed Image) is an exhibition about nomadism. Philippe Vandenberg paints to resist. This act of resistance is one that carries the potential of safeguarding the artist from stagnation and immobility, artistically and conceptually. Resistance is not only the leitmotif of the painter; it is his attitude. |

Jürgen Partenheimer | Discontinuity, Paradox & Precision
IKON Gallery - Birmingham
1 Oozells Square, Brindleyplace
Birmingham b1 2hs
02.04.2008 - 06.02.2008
Ikon presents a major solo exhibition by the internationally acclaimed German artist Jürgen Partenheimer, his first in the UK, comprising new and recent painting, works on paper and sculpture, revealing the interconnectivity of his essentially Modernist practice. Partenheimer's work is rooted in abstraction across many forms, expressing connections between art, poetry, music and literature, and importantly their place in our life. His is a poetically philosophical investigation, which approaches its subject matter at the very point of transition between reality and imagination. In drawings and paintings of visual fragility, form and colour establish a lyric sensibility, challenging our traditional interpretations of time and space. The physical presence of his paintings seems caught at the point of transient dissolution and concentration. Sculptures and ceramic work too retain this flexibility challenging our perceptual understanding. They contain echoes of functional objects; yet remain elusive in their specificity.
A major feature of the exhibition will be a new musical piece commissioned from the celebrated post-minimalist composer Kevin Volans. Invited by the artist to create a new work in response to his interest in colour and journeying, the music will be elaborated physically by speakers integrated into linear wooden sculptures made by Partenheimer. As his work aspires to the condition of music in a symbolist/ modernist sense, so Volans
attempts to embody musically formal and emotive qualities and images possible in painting, sculpture and work on paper as seen in Partenheimer’s practice. Premiere live performances by Birmingham Contemporary Music Group will also take place at Ikon. Three ensembles of musicians mirroring Partenheimer’s approach and that of the interconnected galleries will create physical displacement providing exciting and surprising opportunities within the overall musical structure.
Partenheimer’s work will also be presented off-site at one of Birmingham’s most historic landmarks, Perrott’s Folly. Built in 1758 by John Perrott and originally intended as an eccentric entertainment, this structure provided the impetus for JRR Tolkein’s Two Towers. For Partenheimer, the tower operates as ‘axis mundi’, a vertical extension between heaven and earth, and also as a consideration of architecture as sculpture. By climbing the spiral staircase, viewers will move through six rooms making up this new commission, each space containing a single work.
A fully illustrated catalogue will accompany the exhibition with texts by Christoph Schreier, Kevin Volans and Nigel Prince.

Hanns Schimansky
Gemeentemuseum The Hague
19 January 2008 - 12 May 2008
German artist Hanns Schimansky (b. 1949) produces highly aesthetic, abstract drawings which are widely appreciated both in his native land and abroad. Using pencil, Indian ink or chalk, he works on sheets of paper of hugely varying size, dashing off lines and organic forms free-hand, in a well-nigh impossible attempt to capture the intensity of the moment. Pushing the limits of the paper, his lines creep right up to the edges or folds and out into the corners. Each drawing represents a controlled interplay between the “now” and the energy released by the pressure of the hand on the paper. The Gemeentemuseum Den Haag is about to host Schimansky’s first ever one-man exhibition in any Dutch museum, comprising recent work from his Faltungen series, from 19 January through 12 May 2008.

Fokus 03: The Viennese Group, Viennese Actionism, Fluxus, and Conceptual Art from the Collection 15.12.06–30.03.08
For the first time since the reopening of the MUMOK works of the Wiener Gruppe are to be seen in a collection exhibition and amongst these are important new acquisitions and holdings in the area of Conceptual Art. Viennese art movements in the 1960’s that are usually dealt with separately, are mutually contextualised from the point of view of linguistic analysis.
On a further level they correspond with the international interplay between Pop Art, Fluxus and Conceptual Art. Selected loans, such as the Learning Machines of Fluxus-founder Georges Maciunas that are being shown in Austria for the first time, complete the exhibition. |

Meridian Gallery San Franscisco

Three Related Exhibitions curated by Lawrence Rinder
"Form +" group show of Bay Area abstraction including Todd Bura, Léonie Guyer, Prajakti Jayavant, Phil McGaughy, Evelyn Reyes, and Dean Smith.
Form + presents works by six San Francisco area artists whose work resonates with Jamme's mirror poems and with his collection of Tantric drawings. Form, in these works, is only deceptively the center of attention.
"Dhyana" contemporary anonymous Tantric drawings from Rajasthan
The Tantric drawings shown here—which are from the collection of poet Franck André Jamme—were made anonymously as an aid to meditative practice. The forms and colors in these works are not unique but rather highly conventional signs that have evolved for over a thousand years both to signify and to stimulate specifi c mental and spiritual experiences. Dhy?na is a Sanskrit word for deep meditation and as such could be used to describe not only this exhibition but the two concurrent shows as well.
"Franck André Jamme: New Exercises"
A selection of small mirrors inscribed with short texts by one of France's leading contemporary poets. The idiosyncratically unbroken texts as well as the disorienting interaction of text and mirror in these works stimulate the reader/viewer's mind, fostering a condition of unusual concentration. Each text is a kind of philosophical instruction or "exercise"; like modern koans they exude qualities of impossibility, ephemeralness, and paradox.

Breaking the Rules: The Printed Face of the European Avant Garde 1900 – 1937
9 November 2007 – 30 March 2008
Explore Europe's creative revolution of the early 20th century – one that ripped up the rule books of visual art, design, photography, literature, theatre, music and architecture, and whose effects are still felt, heard and seen today.
Mainly through the medium of print, Breaking the Rules throws new light on Cubism, Expressionism, Futurism, Dadaism, Suprematism, Constructivism, Surrealism and other movements; on the artists who changed the face of modern culture for ever; and on the cities that experienced their work, from Brussels to Budapest, Vienna to Vitebsk.
Star items include Marinetti’s futurist experiment with words, type and visual text, Zang Tumb Tuum; the Burliuk Brothers’ Tango with Cows; and the notebooks and corrected proofs of James Joyce’s Finnegans Wake.
In addition to browsing books, manifestos, flyers, posters and even album covers, you can see remarkable films and listen to rare historic recordings. |

RICHARD LONG - Neue Arbeiten
Konrad Fischer Galerie Düsseldorf March 7 - April 12, 2008
„My talent as an artist is to walk across a moor, or place a stone on the ground.“ Richard Long is one of the most famous representatives of Land Art. His artistic oeuvre includes walks all over the world documented in photos and texts. En-route he creates temporary sculptures from raw materials such as stones, rocks and driftwood. After the photographic documentation he removes the works or leaves it to natural weathering. The lien and spiral sculptures reflect upon movement, the circles and crosses allegorize tranquillity and calmness.
„My art has the themes of materials, ideas, movement, time. The beauty of objects, thoughts, places and actions. My work is about my senses, my instinct, my own scale and my own physical commitment. My work is real, not illusory or conceptual. It is about real stones, real time, real actions.“
On the first floor of the gallery the visitor is welcomed by a huge hand mark of the artist, accompanied by picked up flotsam washed ashore with meandering fingerprints in mud. A green sandstone triangle and a poured mark made of white colour are completing the spectrum of working methods of Richard Long.

Jürgen Partenheimer. Von der Entstehung einer malerischen Fuge mit Kadenzen
Nietzsche-Haus Sils-Maria 19.7.- 20.10.2007
Jürgen Partenheimer spent the summer of 2006 at Nietzsche House, where, immersed in the atmosphere of Nietzsche's "force field", he created his metaphysical landscapes", works on paper of great enigmatic intensity.
In them, the mimetic impulse has been reduced to a few minimalist representational elements, so that the 24 watercolours coalesce into a single composition of breathtaking impact. The artist has chosen to work in a context that allows him to take a twofold – medial – approach to his own practice, such
that his uncompromisingly authentic creative energy interacts with a sovereign appreciation of Nietzsche’s oeuvre. (Text Peter André Bloch)
The exhibition will be attended to and cared for by Häusler Contempory Munich.
Schwabe Verlag Basel has published a catalog in cooperation with the Nietzsche-Haus, including texts from Iso Camartin, Peter André Bloch, and Bruno Glatt (76 pages, 29 illustrations).

Häusler Contemporary exclusively offers special editions of the new catalog.

form, color, illumination - Suzan Frecon, Paintings
The Menil Collection, Houston
March 7 — May 11, 2008
Kunsthalle Bern
11 June 2008 - 28 September 2008
Opening: Tuesday, June 10, 2008, 18h30
Throughout her career Frecon has maintained a singular focus, dedicating herself to the process of painting. Through assiduous arrangements of color, form, and texture, she produces artwork that is visually stunning, but that also resonates on a philosophical level. In her own words, "I consider painting to be a high form of knowledge; it should be constructed so that, when successful, it will be illuminating and enlightening. . . . It should take you, as a viewer, outside of yourself, somewhere you haven't been before."
Incorporating the rectangular structure of the canvas in their composition, Frecon's oil paintings are large-scale arrangements of precisely balanced geometric forms. A range of earth reds dominates her palette, which also includes jewel-like tones of green, blue, indigo, and occasionally gold leaf. Although more gestural than her oil paintings, the watercolors are no less disciplined. Frecon's compositional elements are intensely allusive; in both mediums, however, color and form are never referential.

GUISEPPE PENONE - Neue Arbeiten
Konrad Fischer Galerie Düsseldorf
October 26 - January 12, 2008
In Giuseppe Penone’s oeuvre the tree stands pars pro toto for nature and its slow continuous flow. Just as a sculpture claims a specific irrevocable form, also the tree develops a certain structure within its growth. Penone returns the original structure of the tree by uncovering its different levels: he sheds the tree’s skin, releases the bark and reveals the inner core, the skeleton of the tree. He manufactures leaves and barks castings of bronze and imprints in tanned leather. In combining cultural materials with nature itself, he too opposes imprints from his lines of hand and forehead with floral structures.
In relation to our speed of life, we sense the tree as a solid state. In an interview with Guido de Werd the artist explains that he sees the tree as a fluid within its growth. In the dimension of time the tree becomes liquid, becomes the quality of mouldy clay. Penone relates his body like a sculptor to the tree, who can give form to a piece of dirt. He adds representatives of his body parts, like a hand of steel or a circlet of iron to the tree as substitutes of organs touching the tree’s life with their materiality.
