Korea Art Forum Announces
2022 Shared Dialogue, Shared Space,
Quadrilingual Public Art Events in Inwood Hill Park
Saturday, April 23 and April 30, 2022
Reserve Your Spot Here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/2022-shared-dialogue-shared-space-tickets-316374513687?mc_cid=d257aa628e&mc_eid=dfc17caa9f
Korea Art Forum (KAF) is proud to announce the third iteration of Shared Dialogue, Shared Space (SDSS), a series of one-day interactive art initiatives presented for free in NYC Parks. Coinciding with Earth Week, the program offers two nature-focused events in Inwood Hill Park, in Inwood, Manhattan, on Saturday, April 23, 2022, and Saturday, April, 30, 2022, both from 12-4PM. These SDSS programs aim to connect immigrant communities and underserved ethnic enclaves to visual arts and culture through language access and participatory art activities. The activities are offered to populations with limited English proficiency (LEP) free of charge with translation services in English, Chinese, Korean, and Spanish at local parks embedded in the community.
On Saturday, April 23, 2022, from 12-4PM, Here from Afar, curated by Jennifer McGregor, featuring artists Stephanie Alvarado, Ana Paula Cordeiro, Gina Goico, and Jeanne F. Jalandoni, with music by the Afro-Polka Ensemble featuring Marty Ehrlich on flute, Jerome Harris on guitar, and Maciek Schejbal on percussion, will encourage viewers and participants to connect their earthly experiences in Inwood to other places they have lived or visited, exploring their core memories of nature alongside these artists.
The following weekend on Saturday, April 30, 2022, from 12-4PM, The Earth Is No Land, curated by Nicolás Dumit Estévez Raful Espejo Ovalles, featuring artists Arantxa Araujo, Alicia Grullón, Rosamond S. King, LuLu LoLo, and Priscilla Marrero, will leave no trace and generate no objects or physical byproducts, encouraging the artists and their audiences to imagine different relationships with the Earth.
Events will take place on a lawn near the Tree of Peace, close to the north entrance from Indian Road at 218th Street, in Inwood Hill Park. Artists’ projects include collective art-making workshops and participatory performances that investigate flora and fauna in the park; ideas of sanctuary, movement, and body; processes such as archiving, creating rubbings, weaving, and pelliza making; and the overarching question, “How do we experience public space?” Additional programs include livestreamed artist and curatorial talks on Zoom, Facebook, and YouTube; an additional event in Maple Playground in Flushing, Queens curated by Heng-Gil Han; and a quadrilingual catalogue including artist interviews and curatorial essays to be published after the 2022 SDSS Spring Program. For updates check www.kafny.org, or email hhan@kafny.org.
Since 2020, Shared Dialogue, Shared Space has broadened channels of communication between the contemporary art world and immigrant communities in New York City, advancing the artists’ creative endeavors of engaging the public. Focused on the expansion of public access to the artists’ creative work, the project fosters dialogues between the audience and artists, exploring a wide range of subject matters and the multidimensional role of art in the processes of cultural production and social change.

8. Judith Bernstein, FF Alumn, at Arma International, Zurich, Switzerland, opening April 12
Arma International
Weststrasse 70
CH-8003 Zurich
April 13-May 14, 2022
Opening Tuesday, April 12, 6-8pm
In her exhibition GASLIGTING UNIVERSE, Judith Bernstein presents a series of paintings and drawings that represent the culmination of over a half-century’s commitment to confronting the injustices of power and politics within a sexual lens. Exhibited at Karma International, these explosive works include the artist’s signature use of fluorescent paint enhanced by blacklight, as well as historic drawings beginning with her iconic “Fuck Vietnam” series from the 1960s. Her latest “Gasligting Universe” paintings in this exhibition (2021-2022) represent the third phase in her trilogy of universes, following her “Birth Universe” and “Death Universe” series. This is Bernstein’s fifth exhibition at Karma International.
“Gaslighting” is a term coined by the 1944 thriller “Gaslight,” featuring Ingrid Bergman and Charles Boyer. Referencing the movie’s plot, it has since come into popular lexicon to describe a situation wherein an abuser encourages their target to question and undermine their own judgment and sanity. Gaslighting is a psychological battleground relating to toxic power dynamics, pervasive across personal and political realms. An insightful subtlety in Judith’s series (which she began in 2019) is her intentional misspelling of “Gasligting” in each painting, removing the “h,” so that the viewer is prompted to momentarily question their own sanity. On the most primal level, the individual gaslights the Self.

11. Susan Kleinberg, FF Alumn, at Joshua Tree Retreat Center, CA, opening April 9
Susan Kleinberg’s “LEAP!” at the Joshua Tree Retreat Center, opening April 9, 10, through May 22, concurrent with HDTS.
59700 29 Palms Highway
Joshua Tree, CA 92252.
Opening April 9, 6-8 pm.
Open inside from 7:30 am – 3:00 pm Thursday-Monday.
“LEAP!” Video Link:
“LEAP!” will be showing within the expansive Frank Lloyd Wright, Lloyd Wright architecture of the Center’s central space/cafe, and projected against the building’s main wall facing the highway.
“LEAP!” unites with the landscape of its ancient historical origins of the sea floor, at the Retreat Center, a location of thought and consideration.
The piece began with my happiness at hearing the rumor of dolphins in the canals of Venice, Italy, in June 2020. Albeit untrue, it made me think of how we take our history into the future, with all the doubts, fears, questions, glee, possibilities, this may hold. As an artist, my goal was to construct a leap in every way, how we must question, look beyond the known, and the energy, the joy, implicit in a leap. Only the footage in the first segment of the video is actual. We particularly enjoyed contributing to Canaletto. The soundtrack is from John Cage’s composition, “Sounds of Venice.”
Dolphins actually did appear in the Grand Canal one year later.
This video installation will be open parallel to the public opening of High Desert Test Sites’ most recent exhibition, HDTS 2022: The Searchers curated by Iwona Blazwick OBE. HDTS 2022 will be open at sites throughout the Morongo Basin from April 9-May 22, 2022.

12. Simone Forti, FF Alumn, at The Box, Los Angeles, CA, opening April 16
Simone Forti
An Other Pretty Autumn
April 16 – May 21, 2022
Opening Reception:
Saturday, April 16th
2 – 6 PM
There is an enchantingly awkward feeling that is hard to avoid when surveying Simone Forti’s body of work. To consider the works presented in An Other Pretty Autumn, is to consider her lifetime of work, as if they are one movement that is still in continuity. In this exhibition there is an undeniable weight and lightness to what is being shown, with the container of the exhibition being a new thirteen page poem, Another Pretty Autumn, bringing the movement of her life work to the quiet and gentle stillness of the mind.
In the center of the main gallery is another poem floating on silk screened canvases, The Skin of my Teeth (2018), addressing the political precarity of the piled up world in relation to the beat poets and Forti’s garden. This work, along with a suspended installation of See Saw (1961) and the new found work That Block (2022), shown on the ground, confront the viewer as they enter the space. The assembled effect of these is the centrifugal force of three milestones in a lifetime’s career, pushing the viewer out towards the large projections moving on the walls and a recording of Another Pretty Autumn being read by Emily Mast, Carmela Hermann Dietrich, Julia Holter.
Before the pandemic in 2019, Forti asked Jason Underhill to come to Vermont and make a video of her weeding. Within the large room of the gallery there are three projections showing these never seen videos, Weeding: Steve and Lisa’s Garden 1 & 2 and Weeding: Simone’s Garden. The videos are playfully shot low to the ground from the perspective similar to a cat, showing tight shots of Forti’s hands in the dirt amongst bright green blades of grass. Weeding is a meditative practice for the artist, enjoying the tension and release of the roots from the ground, that she has cultivated since living at Mad Brook Farms in Vermont in the early 1980s. Movement comes from the root meue, which means to push away, and in this way this practice can be thought of as a collaboration with the Earth.
Early in the pandemic, when she didn’t have paper, Forti used leftover paper bags from Trader Joe’s to create a series of paintings with acrylic, applied like paste. The bags become houses, sometimes with a chimney, the thickness of the paper seeming to recall both floors and walls, with the motif of a crawling figure moving amongst smoldering rocks. The hearth and its limitations are brought into question with the imperative to continue moving, even as a crawl, and possibly as an ashen phoenix. These works, the two Figure Bag Drawings and one Fire Bag Drawings (all 2020), have never been exhibited in the United States.
Statues (1977), a collaboration with Anne Tardos, shows Forti’s figure performing some of her now well known movements such as Sleepwalkers and Swing Bear, on a black and white backdrop of her NYC apartment and rooftop. Shown in a separate room, Statues is seminal in that it is one of the first video works of Forti, perfectly encapsulating her examination of the fluidity of movement with body and video in contrast to the idea of the statuesque. Einstein imagined himself as pure light in order to understand space-time, and in this way we might respect that Forti has imagined herself as pure movement (space-time) in order to understand lightness.
With Forti’s specific contemplation of Autumn, the smoldering of boulders and mystical birds, and the reflection on roots being pulled from the Earth, the awareness of her own mortality resounds in the exhibition, preceding and succeeding the sound of the gong installed in juxtaposition with her own leather jacket. Not simply as a memento mori, but as it speaks to the eternal movement of sound (a big sound). Another Pretty Autumn itself moves in spirals and occasional repetitions, with a diaristic observation of her recent days and thoughts. The forms of the stanzas could be the movement of falling leaves, towards a stillness unto the earth, before the wind agitates them again. Forti’s current fascination with reading and writing, which is perhaps in becoming the gentlest form of movement a human can achieve.
Simone Forti (b. 1935) is a dancer/choreographer/artist/writer based in Los Angeles. Born in Florence, Italy, Forti emigrated with her family to Los Angeles in 1938. In 1955 she began dancing with Anna Halprin, who was doing pioneering work in dance improvisation. After four years of working with Halprin in Northern California, Forti moved to New York where she studied composition at the Merce Cunningham Studio with educator/musicologist Robert Dunn. In these classes, which focused on the work of John Cage, she met and began working informally with choreographers including Trisha Brown, Yvonne Rainer, and Steve Paxton. In the spring of 1961, Forti presented a full evening of pieces she called Dance Constructions at Yoko Ono’s loft studio. These pieces proved to be influential in both the fields of dance and visual arts. Over the years Forti returned to improvisation, including extensive collaborations with musicians like Charlemagne Palestine and Peter Van Riper. Since the early 1980s, she has been practicing a form wherein movement and words spontaneously weave together. Taking the news as her subject matter, Forti calls these performances News Animations.
An Other Pretty Autumn is Simone Forit’s fifth solo-exhibition with The Box, with the first in 2009. Forti has appeared in venues including the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles; The Louvre Museum, Paris; and Danspace, New York. She has had solo exhibitions at Centro Pecci, Prato (2021); Galleria Raffaela Cortese, Milan (2018); Kunsthaus Zurich, Zurich (2017); Kunstmuseum, Bonn (2016); Hammer Museum, Los Angeles (2015); as well as her first major retrospective at the Museum der Moderne, Salzburg, Austria in 2014. Forti’s artwork is in collections of The Museum of Modern Art, New York; the Stedelijk Museum, Generali Foundation, and The Whitney Museum of American Art. Forti has received various awards including a Guggenheim Fellowship in dance in 2005 and a Yoko Ono Lennon Courage Award for the Arts in 2011.

KRZYSZTOF WODICZKO: THE ART OF UN-WAR
Directed by Maria Niro
National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC
Saturday, April 30, 2022 at 2:00pm
Presented in conjunction with FilmFestDC 2022
Free registration opens April 16: https://www.filmfestdc.org/filmView.cfm?passID
Galerie Lelong & Co., New York, is pleased to share that THE ART OF UN-WAR, a new documentary by filmmaker Maria Niro featuring the work of internationally renowned artist Krzysztof Wodiczko, will make its East Coast Premiere at the 36th FilmFestDC 2022. The film will be screened at the National Gallery of Art on Saturday, April 30, at 2:00pm as part of the festival.
Both the artist and the filmmaker will be present for a discussion with Q&A. The film is an in-depth investigation into Wodiczko’s life and art, and focuses on the recurring theme of war in his oeuvre which spans over five decades. Audience attendance for the festival totals over 16,000 every year.
THE ART OF UN-WAR explores Wodiczko’s life and the art interventions he creates as powerful responses to the inequities and horrors of war and injustice. The film delves into timely works such as Abraham Lincoln War Veteran Projection in Union Square, NYC, where Wodiczko projects the voices and images of soldiers from 20th and 21st-century wars onto the statue of Lincoln. Throughout the film, the artist’s powerful interventions become examples of how art can be used to disrupt public complacency.

16. Barbara Rosenthal, FF Alumn, corrections, and more
I, Barbara Rosenthal (FF Alum), apologize for the two glaring errors (the reviewer and the link) in the March 28 “Goings On.” The reason the reviewer’s name was misstated is that they did review the book, but in “American Book Review,” not in “Rain Taxi,” so here is corrected text, and info on the “American Book Review” review of that and another book published by my press, too.
The correct March 28 Goings On should read:
The current print issue of “Rain Taxi” features a review of PARTY EVERYWHERE published by Barbara Rosenthal’s eMediaLoft.org studio imprint Xanadu Press (xanadupress.com). The rave review is by Greg Bem (not Ilka Scobie). (Buy review-issue here: https://www.raintaxi.com/volume-26-number-4-2021-2022-104/ ). The book, PARTY EVERYWHERE, is authored by East Village poet-hostmaster Jeffrey Cyphers Wright, with Rosenthal’s collaborative page collages including some of her childhood objects, and is available from Printed Matter: https://www.printedmatter.org/catalog/39466/
And Ilka Scobie’s “Three of a Perfect Pairing,” (also rave) review of PARTY EVERYWHERE (my book with Jeff Wright) and TIME ON THE MOVE, in which my Surreal Photos accompany poetry by Barry Wallenstein, is in American Book Review
VolumeVolume 42, Number 6 (https://muse.jhu.edu/article/836084/summary). TIME ON THE MOVE is also available from Printed Matter: https://www.printedmatter.org/catalog/57694

17. Robert C. Morgan, FF Alumn, at Artego, Woodside, Queens, April 20
Welcome to a gallery talk with three divergent artists who currently present their profound work at a show, “Passion and Ego (March 15- April 29)” at Studio Artego. The artists are John Mendelsohn, Gahae Park, and Robert C. Morgan, each of whom has, over the years, established a distinct and unique visual language.
Their works are composed of paintings, hand-cut paperwork, and paper installations. Each artist focuses definitively on geometric forms that correspond to light interwoven within circular shapes, diagonal lines, and the stability of the square. This event will be an informal talk, and the artists will lead the audience to their work with ensuing dialogue. It provides a unique insight into each artist’s passion, curiosity, creative process, and regulation.
This gallery talk opens to the public.
The talk will begin at 1:30PM and finishes around 3:00PM.
Please visit the following link: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/passion-and-ego-gallery-talk-tickets-317730730167?aff=ebdssbdestsearch to get free tickets via Eventbrite, or you can send your RSVP to hello@studioartego.com by April 16.

I wrote this article on the Taiwanese artist Lin Shih Pao, https://whitehotmagazine.com/articles/s-golden-age-at-artexpo/5359 currently on Whitehot Magazine.
“Struck by the way Americans treated money, especially by the way the lowly penny was dropped on the ground and never picked up, Lin vowed to collect a million pennies totaling 10 thousand dollars.’Peace and love was the goal. Do you have a penny? I asked people.’ Five months later, local TV station NY One began a ‘Please donate a penny a penny for peace’ campaign and featured Lin on their ‘NY One Minute,’ creating a ‘Penny Hotline’ that was also picked up by other media. Over a million pennies later, the work he created, Pennies for Peace (1995-1997), combined social sculpture with what eventually became a very tangible object: a 3.5 ton sculpture 8 foot high, 8 feet wide and 2 feet thick. The striking tondo shape laid the groundwork for what was to follow.”

MOVING LANDSCAPES
Guest Curated by Erick Montes
April 14-16, 2022
7:30pm
April 14: Miriam Parker
April 15: Geraldine Cardiel
April 16: Arantxa Araujo in collaboration with Sara Kostić
Moving Landscapes is a collaboration performance series curated by movement artist Erick Montes in collaboration with Triskelion Arts.
What is special about Moving Landscapes is that while each performance is an expression of its own, each artist will also engage and participate in recreating the space from what is left behind by the other two. The vestige of each work will activate the ancestry of the next, supporting our ideas emerging from community, conviviality, and identity. All three artists explore a universe as individuals and share the space as a collaboration: one space, three different perceptions.
“Walk the walk, write the poem” – Guillermo Gómez Peña
To be part of this experience of transformation, we encourage you to attend all three performances or even more than one.
ONE performance for $20 in advance / $25 at the door
OR
The PASS for all three for $35

Through corporal movement, choreographed gestures, and the use of everyday objects, the performance also makes reference to the challenges, adjustments, and adaptation people endure when arriving to a new country, and in many cases, when returning to their place of origin.

In preparation for his upcoming project to be presented in Germany and Italy in the Summer, Hector Canonge will be doing a survey of Live Art in the cities of Vienna, Paris, Barcelona, Madrid and Zurich this early Spring. The performative actions denominated TRANSIENTE look at temporal manifestations of the body in public sites that have transformed the perception of urban settings in European countries. TRANSIENT will be included in various formats in Canonge’s presentations in Berlin and Venice.

CALL FOR ARTISTS:
Deadline April 17th Midnight
For more than two years, in one way or many, we have faced and experienced confinement. The emergence, spread and developments of the world’s present health crisis has affected, transformed and impacted our artistic practice. Performance Art practitioners in particular have been dealing with the protocols of distancing and public gatherings as festivals, events, residencies were halted by the pandemic.
Since the body is at the core of Performance Art and its various manifestations, the prohibitions imposed by the possibilities of contagion impacted the execution of live presentations. Instead we turned to the screen and to the bits of streaming data to create, experiment and present new works shaped by the limitations of the frame. These tele-performances or zoomformances (as I called the performances done through the Zoom platform) alleviated our isolation and helped us build larger nodes of connections, and larger community networks.
As we enter a new period of living and cohabiting with other bodies outside of our own sterilized cocoons, I venture to curate my first live program since 2019. Though mainly working online with my own performances, and after having organized the world-wide project Chronicles of Confinement (from New York City, 2020), and the festivals; AUSTRAL Virtual (from Argentina, 2021) and LATITUDES (from Bolivia 2022), I’m ready to venture in new territories with the experience of the not so distant past, and new visions for a different present. After ending my one year residency in the Southern Hemisphere, I returned to New York City last February. I paused to RE-set, RE-think and RE-initiate my practice now that I am back in the United States.
The new initiative, PAUSA —PERFORMANCE ART USA— will serve as a catalyst for live presentations nationwide as well as a platform for dialogue, exchange, and reflection working with local, national and international guest artists. The first program of PAUSA, denominated RE(cover, set, think, start, create, emerge, boot, live) will take place from April 29th to May 1st at Bronx River Art Center (BRAC). The three day program will bring live performances to the West Farms area of the Bronx and will be hosted in the new facility of this organization that has served this borough for more than 30 years. PAUSA invites artists to reflect on the notion of RE(cover, set, think, start, create, emerge, boot, live) with live and video performances.
Interested artists must send their application for consideration until April 17th, Midnight.
Submissions must be done through this form:
