1. Elaine Angelopoulos, FF FUND recipient 2014-15, at the intersection of Flatbush and Atlantic Avenues, Brooklyn, June 10

“Brooklyn Dreams” Saturday, June 10th, 2023 3:30- 5:30 pm

(rain date: Saturday, June 17th, 2023, 3:30-5:30 pm) 

We will gather at the Ursula Von Rydingsvard sculpture “Ona” near the intersection of Flatbush and Atlantic Avenues in Brooklyn, beginning at 3:30pm.The performance will begin at 3:45 pm. 

The duration is 90 minutes followed by a Q/A at the tip of the Barclays Center footprint.

Performance route: Flatbush Avenue south; Dean Street to Vanderbilt Avenue; Vanderbilt to Atlantic Avenue; Atlantic Avenue to the intersection of Flatbush Avenue.

“Brooklyn Dreams” recounts the saga of how political and urban development decisions affect each individual life on multiple levels of their daily reality. Angelopoulos will emulate the appearance of a construction worker while singing song ballads and reciting accounts of the effects of urban renewal from conversations recorded 10 years ago. As a performance that roams, Flaneur Angelopoulos will be singing while guiding the audience in a walk around the Atlantic Yards footprint, now in a neighborhood identified as “Pacific Park”. 

A video of the performance will be produced and premiered at a later date. 

Elaine Angelopoulos lives and works in New York City. She is an artist with an interdisciplinary approach that bridges her studio practice with audience participation, of select installations and performances. Her work has been exhibited in New York, the United States, and Europe. Visit her website at https://elaineangelopoulos.com/ and you can find her on Vimeo and http://barristersgallery.com/

2. Frank Moore, FF Alumn, looking for home for LUVeR show tapes

From 1999 to 2012, Frank Moore streamed a 24/7 live audio/video internet station, Love Underground Visionary Revolution (LUVeR) from his Berkeley home. “DJs” from all over the United States and the world did live streaming shows but many created shows on cassette tapes and CDs and mailed them to Frank to play on LUVeR. We are now looking for a home for this large collection of audio cassette tapes and CDs. Included are all of the Frank Moore Shaman’s Den shows that Frank did live almost every Sunday night that included interviews with artists, live performances by bands (in our living room), politicians and other assorted characters that Frank wanted to talk to.

If anyone is interested or knows of a special collection that may be interested in these materials, please contact Linda Mac at mac@eroplay.com

Crystal Z Campbell: Ode to the Underloved

June 9 – August 19

Opening: June 9, 6-8pm

Artists Space is pleased to present Ode to the Underloved, the first New York institutional solo exhibition by Crystal Z Campbell.

A multidisciplinary artist, experimental filmmaker, and writer, Campbell performs critical excavations of history. Drawing on archival research, they find complexity in public secrets—fragments of information known by many but left unspoken. Campbell’s films use collage, underloved archival material, oral histories, and sonic recordings to examine historical gaps and shape new frameworks for understanding the past. Exploring structural violence and displacement, Campbell’s work moves dynamically between metaphor and reality to foreground acts of omission, failures of collective memory, and sociopolitical narratives—information missing from the narrative of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre, questions of immortality and medical ethics with Henrietta Lacks’s “immortal” cell line, and gentrification as depicted in a 35mm film reel salvaged from a demolished Black activist theater in Brooklyn.

For their upcoming exhibition, Campbell will build an environment in Artists Space using their latest film, Revolver (2022), at its core. Revolver is an archive of pareidolia—a phenomenon by which someone sees a pattern or image where none actually exists—narrated by a descendant of Exodusters, the Black Americans who fled to Kansas to escape the violence and discrimination of the Reconstruction Era South.

Allowing the architecture and other conditions of the gallery to create a choreography, Campbell’s filmic installation brilliantly pulls viewers into an embodied experience where they become actors in a kind of living theater, witnesses to complex histories.

Accessibility

Artists Space is fully accessible via a wheelchair lift and automated door in front of the entrance on 80 White Street. The cellar gallery can be accessed via the ground floor elevator. Artists Space welcomes assistance dogs, and has wheelchair accessible non-gender-segregated toilet facilities.

Ana Mendieta

Search for Origin

MO.CO. PanacĂŠe, Montpellier, France

June 3 – September 10, 2023

MO.CO.: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SBk0E3vcX-M

Galerie Lelong & Co. is pleased to announce that Ana Mendieta: Search for Origin is on view at the MO.CO. PanacĂŠe, Montpellier, France through September 10, 2023. 

Over one hundred of Mendieta’s works made between 1968 and 1985 are on view. A dozen works have never before been exhibited, including four early paintings, photographs from recently discovered slides, drawings from the artist’s archive and a reconstruction of the “environment” Untitled: Silueta Series, originally created at the Amelie A. Wallace Gallery, State University of New York, Old Westbury, Long Island in 1978.

The exhibition is organized in collaboration with MUSAC, Museo de Arte ContemporĂĄneo de Castilla y LeĂłn, Spain and the MusĂŠe des beaux-arts in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland.

About the Artist

In a brief yet prolific career, the Cuban-born artist Ana Mendieta® created groundbreaking work in photography, film, video, drawing, sculpture, and site-specific installations. Amongst the major themes in her work are exile, displacement, and a return to the landscape, which remain profoundly relevant today. Her unique hybrid of form and documentation, works that she titled “siluetas,” are fugitive and potent traces of the artist’s inscription of her body in the landscape, often transformed by natural elements such as fire and water.

The Estate of Ana Mendieta Collection, LLC, in collaboration with Galerie Lelong & Co., recently catalogued and digitized the entirety of Mendieta’s moving image works, discovering that the artist remarkably made more than 100 in the ten-year period in which she worked in the medium. The groundbreaking exhibition of her moving image works, Covered in Time and History: The Films of Ana Mendieta, was organized by the Katherine E. Nash Gallery, University of Minnesota in 2014, and has since travelled to several institutions worldwide, including NSU Art Museum Fort Lauderdale, Florida; University of California, Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive; Bildmuseet, Umeå, Sweden; Martin Gropius Bau, Berlin; and the Galerie nationale du Jeu de Paume, Paris. Mendieta’s work has been the subject of six major museum retrospectives, the most recent of which, Ana Mendieta: Traces, was organized by the Hayward Gallery, England, in 2013, and travelled to the Museum der Moderne Salzburg, Austria, and the Galerie Rudolfinum, Czech Republic. Ana Mendieta: Earth Body, Sculpture and Performance 1972–1985 was organized by the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington, D.C., in 2005 and travelled to the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; Des Moines Art Center, Iowa; and Miami Art Museum, Florida.

Mendieta was born in Havana, Cuba, in 1948, and died in New York City in 1985.

Thank you.

12. Guillaume Bijl, FF Alumn, at Art Basel Unlimited, Switzerland, opening June 12

Meredith Rosen Gallery

Guillaume Bijl

Matratzentraum

Art Basel | Unlimited

Hall 1, U23

June 12-18, 2023

Meredith Rosen Gallery and Galerie Nagel Draxler are pleased to present Matratzentraum, 2003-2023 a Transformation-installation by Guillaume Bijl for Art Basel Unlimited in Basel, Switzerland 2023. The presentation opens Monday June 12 and remains on view through Sunday June 18.

First presented at Ausstellungsshalle Hawerkamp, in MĂźnster, Germany in 2002, Matratzenland-Installation (Mattress Store Installation) is an exact replica of a generic mattress store. Each detail is meticulously considered by Bijl down to the price tags, cellophane wrapped mattresses, bed model, signage, and strip mall fluorescent lighting. A pioneer of readymade installation art since 1979, Bijl has contended with the status of exhibition space by reconstructing stereotypes of functional businesses within art institutions. Bijl’s chosen form of installation is based on a fictional premise wherein the art institution is no longer of use to the public and thus rented to a practical venture, such as a Secondhand car dealership (1984), Fitness Center (1984), Shooting Gallery (1985), Supermarket (1998) 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 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 archaeology in real time reveals the practices, behavior, and values of our current moment.Through the displacement of the art space with a functional space, Bijl commodifies our behavior and creates a lens through which we observe ourselves within culture. The mattress, as a site, evokes the banal space of rest, routine, and the basic need for shelter. The precarious concept of home correlates to current events in Europe while questioning the integrity of connoisseurship and object value the art market represents. 

The mundanity of a mattress store evokes a deeper investigation into the commodification of home, rest and belonging. These fundamental values of human life are stripped from their intrinsic nature and sold as an appliance. Bijl’s placement of the consumption of home within the locus of an art fair, sheds light on the capitalist nature of value ascription to basic human needs and symbolic beliefs via art. This moment of profound disparity shed new light on the implications of Matratzenland-Installation (Mattress Store Installation). Originally shown in 2003, the restaging of Bijl’s significant contribution to installation art 20 years later emphasizes the lasting impact of this work. As the art world has flourished in the wake of pandemic lockdowns and humanitarian crises of displacement, the capitalist structure of value is more visible on a global scale than ever before.

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, MĂźnster (2007), 11th Lyon Biennial (2011), Istanbul Biennial (2013) and Manifesta 11, ZĂźrich (2016). Recently he has taken part in the following projects: Beaufort (2018), the Adriaen Brouwer year, Oudenaarde (2018), Play, Kortrijk (2018), FĂŠlicien Rops Museum, Namur (2018), Power to the People, Schirn Kunsthalle, Frankfurt (2018), the Bruegel year, Dilbeek (2019), Centre Pompidou, Shanghai (2021), Meredith Rosen Gallery (2021), Galerie Nagel Draxler (2022), and Art Basel Miami Beach with Meredith Rosen (2022).

19. Tamar Ettun, FF Alumn, spring news

Dear friends,

I hope you recovered from the eclipse season, and are ready for summer!

I am thrilled to participate in Pop Up: Inflatable Sculpture curated by Carolyn Bauer at the Shelburne Museum, Vermont. I made a new outdoor sculpture of inflatable demons, Lili and Lilu, for the exhibition (pics attached). The show consists of three solo presentations, my outdoor piece is up on May 13-July 7. I also have seven ceramic demon traps (that I design based on the patterns of my inflatable work) and a video installation on view May 13-October 22. It has been exciting to embody Lilit the demon as an empathic inflatable. If you happen to visit Vermont this summer, please check it out.

My book, Texts from Lilit, got a lovely review from Nick Bennet at the Brooklyn Rail. Yay for more conversations about somatic healing!

I will be creating the installation for Pioneer Works Village Fete, on June 14th. “For the Village FĂŞte, Ettun has installed gigantic sails made of dyed and sewn parachute fabric. The labor involved in making the work—crafts traditionally seen as women’s work—defies the material’s association with military patriarchy, turning it into a space for healing, not warfare.” (I think there are affordable’ish tix for the after party!) Dead Sea was a monumental performance that was up just before the pandemic about sexual violence, compassionate empathy, blame and forgiveness. It was curated by David Everrit Howe, with choreography by Mor Mendel and music by Helado Negro.

We will be at Interlude Artist Residency in Hudson on June 3-25. Interlude is an amazing new’ish family residency that supports the specific needs of artist parents. Seeing how they prepare for our residency (matching up with another artist family with a 2 yrs old, finding a caregiver to watch Max while we work) is giving me hope. As you all know, I have been vocal about the lack of structural support for parent artists, and of course the ones who are hurt the most by it are female artists with experimental practices. Residencies are still designed with a single white man in mind, and it is bonkers for me to think that it will take me at least a decade to return to a residency like Macdowell because of caregiving responsibilities. There are very few family residences, I am hoping this will start to shift as people become more aware of the need and create new systems, maybe with your help 🙂 If you want to talk about it, I am always up for a conversation.

20. Judith Bernstein, FF Alumn, at The Box LA, CA, opening June 17

Judith Bernstein

We Don’t Owe U A Tomorrow 

June 17 – August 12

Wednesday-Saturday, 11-6 PM

Opening reception

June 17, 6-9 PM.

Judith Bernstein presents her new, meteoric series We Don’t Owe U A Tomorrow in her sixth solo exhibition with the Box LA. Her psychological paintings are inspired by the catastrophic political climate that dominates the current zeitgeist. Bernstein tackles extremism that threatens the core of democracy through fluorescent paint and gestural brush strokes against infinite black canvases. Swastikas and assault rifles allude to not only a nightmarish tomorrow, but the current reality that we face today. As with much of Bernstein’s work, humor provides an entry point to contemplate themes of bigotry, abuse, fascism, war, and death. Her iconic imagery intersects with knock out maxims: “Trumpenschlong,” the intentionally misspelled “Gasligting Ukraine,” and “We Don’t Owe U A Tomorrow.” In Bernstein’s universe, there are no guarantees.

Since receiving her MFA from Yale in 1967, Judith Bernstein has developed a reputation as one of the most unwaveringly provocative artists of her generation. For over 50 years, her work has explored connections between the political and the sexual. Steadfast in her cultural, political, and social critique, Bernstein surged into art world prominence in the early 1970s with her monumental anti-war and feminist charcoal drawings of penis-screw hybrids—one of the artist’s most recognizable motifs. Bernstein has been awarded numerous accolades throughout her career and has been the subject of major solo exhibitions at museums in New York and abroad. Her monumental 9 x 12 1⁄2 feet charcoal drawing Horizontal was purchased by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, NY in 2023.

Judith Bernstein’s exhibition We Don’t Owe U A Tomorrow is curated by Paul McCarthy.

In 2016, the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation recognized Bernstein’s accomplishments in the fine arts by awarding the artist its prestigious annual fellowship, and the National Academy of Design elected her a member of the National Academicians. Additional accolades include the American Academy of Arts and Letters Award in Art in 2019, among several others. Bernstein has been the subject of solo exhibitions at The Drawing Center, New York (2017-18); the New Museum, New York (2012-13), Kunsthall Stavanger, Norway (2016), and Studio Voltaire, London (2014), among numerous galleries and venues internationally. She has also exhibited at Kunsthaus Zurich (2021); the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles (2020); the Smithsonian American Art Museum, Washington, D.C. (2019); Migros Museum, Zurich (2019 and 2015); Bonner Kunstverein, Bonn, Germany (2019); the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York (2016); Institute of Contemporary Art, London (2013); and Hauser & Wirth, Zurich and London (2011-12). Her work is included in the permanent collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; the Museum of Modern Art, New York; the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; the Brooklyn Museum, New York; the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington, DC; the Jewish Museum, New York; the Los Angeles County Museum of Art; the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles; the Smithsonian American Art Museum, Washington, D.C.; Art Institute of Chicago; the Buffalo AKG Art Museum, Buffalo, NY; and the Yale University Art Gallery, New Haven, CT, among others.

27. Tobaron Waxman, FF Alumn, online with Jewish Women’s Archive, June 8

June 8 – Jewish Women’s Archive “Beyond Gender Binary”

Thursday, June 8, 8 PM ET: Confronting the Gender Binary

Artist Curator Tobaron Waxman was asked by Jewish Women’s Archive to respond to the following questions in a lecture entitled “Confronting the Gender Binary”:

What is the gender binary? What does it mean to challenge/transcend/ignore it? How can archives and archival work expand our thinking on this? 

Tobaron Waxman (they/them) is an artist/curator who combines Jewish concepts and liturgy with “transsexual knowledge.” Their artworks have been exhibited to critical acclaim, including The Jewish Museum Audience Award for their performance installation Opshernish. Since 2017, Tobaron has developed the Trans Collections at The ArQuives, the largest independent 2SLGBTQ+ archive in the world.

Beyond the Gender Binary

New upcoming online history course! Join us June 8-22:

For 50+ years, feminist and trans, nonbinary, and genderqueer thinkers have unsettled one of the foundational beliefs of modern mainstream Western culture: that there exist two sexes, whose physical and psychological characteristics are obvious, knowable, and inherent in the body each person is born with.

In this course, JWA asks: How was the prevailing gender binary constructed? How does it change our understanding of history to bring a Jewish, queer, and trans lens to historical sources? And how can archives expand the current conversation about gender and Judaism?
