6. Verónica Peña & Hector Canonge, at Salisbury University Art Galleries, Salisbury, MD, Aug 26.

Verónica Peña & Hector Canonge
HORIZONTES (Horizons)
Salisbury University Art Galleries, Salisbury, Maryland
Exhibition: August 26, 2019 – February 8, 2020
Performance: Saturday, September 28 at Assateague Island
Workshop: Monday, September 30
Talk: Tuesday, October 1

Link: https://www.stardem.com/entertainment/arts/su-exhibit-explores-human-connection-to-water/article

HORIZONTES (HORIZONS) is a multidisciplinary project that explores the human connection to water and is comprised of an exhibition, site-specific performance, talk, and worksop. As an exhibition, it presents photo and video documentation of the project “Reflejos”, developed in Spain in 2018, and is to be complemented with artifacts of the performance HORIZONTES, to be enacted during the artists’ residency at Salisbury University. HORIZONTES, the performance, references the history of Assateague Island through a series of actions inspired by cultural traditions of the early inhabitants of the region.

“Reflejos” proposed a surreal transformation of the landscape to evoke people’s connection to water. Inspired by the geography of Santa Lucía de Ocón in La Rioja, the artists created a large blue surface in one of the farm fields. The lake of painted round-stones (cantos rodados) referenced the history of the region as it was once covered by water millions of years back. In addition to altering the visual appearance of the quotidian agrarian landscape, “Reflejos” offered an experience that treats the relation of people and their habitat. HORIZONTES (HORIZONS) constitutes a continuation of “Reflejos” as the project draws on the intersections of geography and people’s relation to the land.

Verónica Peña & Hector Canonge are performance artists working at the convergence of various disciplines. Peña (Spain) and Canonge (Argentina) are based in the United States. They met in 2014 during their participation at the Month of Performance Art in Berlin. After presenting work independently in the United States, and coinciding in various programs in Europe and Latin America, they decided to collaborate in a series of works exploring themes of identity, migration, intercultural exchange, and human cohesion. As collaborators, since 2016, they presented their work in the United States and abroad. In New York City, they have performed: Lazos (Entanglements) at Bronx Academy of Arts and Dance, and Last Frontier; De lo Sano (of the Sane) at Knockdown Center, De lo Posible (of Possibilities) at Triskelion Arts; De lo Ajeno (of Others) at Queens Museum, and Rabbithole; De lo Lejano (of the Distant) at Panoply Performance Lab; and De Lo Nuestro (of Ours) at The Woods Cooperative. They presented the Exhibition and Performance Art program UNDER OUR SKIN: Body and Territory in Performance Art at Purdue University, Indiana. In Spain, as part of their project Derivas y Jornadas, they presented their work at Fundación BilbaoArte, Bilbao; Festival Instramurs, Valencia; Tabacalera, Madrid; and La Grey Gallery; Tarragona. In 2018, they performed in France and Spain where among other projects they presented “Reflejos”, showed in this exhibition.

7. Laura Lappi, FF Alumn, at Lorimoto Gallery, Ridgewood, Queens, opening Sept. 7

Laura Lappi: Nowhere, Anywhere, Everywhere
On view: September 7 – 22, 2019

Opening: Saturday, September 7th, 6-9 pm

Laura Lappi’s work observes and translates the architecture of place from the land of the midnight sun, through both sculpture and photography. Lorimoto is proud to present Nowhere, Anywhere, Everywhere featuring larger-than-life charred, wood sculptures and documentary photographs of a kinetic, site-specific installation. This is the artists first solo exhibition in New York City. Please join the opening reception of Nowhere, Anywhere, Everywhere on September 7th 6-9pm at Lorimoto Gallery located at 1623 Hancock ST. Ridgewood, NY 11385. The gallery is open Saturday and Sunday 1 pm – 6 pm and by appointment.

Raised in rural Finland, Laura was initially inspired by her childhood under the light of ‘nightless nights’ and the still darkness of winter where the sun seldom rises above the horizon. Photography is an ideal medium for Lappi to record this phenomenon. An online guide, This is Finland (https://finland.fi/) explains:
“Clear weather allows one to see outdoors for a few hours, but soon the darkness takes over. However, when the sky is clear, it is not pitch black. A layer of clean white snow increases the brightness…[and] artificial lights and moonlight are reflected off it.”

For natives, the effect of light (or lack of it) dominates their visual experience of the world and shrouds it in melancholy. Further isolating, abandoned farmhouses scattered throughout a bucolic setting were the backdrop to Laura Lappi’s childhood. In an effort the capture the psyche of her surroundings, the artist builds structures with layers of wood, stacking and patterning pieces of decorative molding (typically found accentuating the interior walls of homes) in repeating abstract shapes by inlaying beveled trim. Made with the pride of a true craftsperson, the resulting wood configurations look too new, too perfect, too visible as is, so the artist chars them. Blackened with flame, the subtle harmony of the brittle, slightly reflective surface is pocked with tiny holes and accentuated by deep ridges amid geometric shapes. These ominous seven-foot panels feel like mysterious artifacts of ruined architecture, resembling a gateway or a carved codex, and offer a puzzling color field that reveals details in the shadows.

Accompanying the sculptures, are photographs of Lappi’s process and sculptural installations. Eight photographs reveal the process of charring, though it is unclear if the sculpture is devolving or evolving. The second series of photos documents a site-specific installation standing in a suburban Colorado landscape titled Study of Charring Wood and Burning Structures II. A large, carbonized wood column is enveloped by smoke emitted from inside the sculpture. Like floating out of a dream, the smoky scene has an eerie feeling. Encapsulating her oeuvre, Laura Lappi’s obscure, atmospheric outdoor installation, are hauntingly elegant.

Laura Lappi was born and raised in Finland, earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in the Netherlands, and now lives and works on the cusp of Brooklyn and Queens. Her current project is made possible (in part) by the Queens Council on the Arts with public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council. Her work has been exhibited Riihimäki Art Museum and Galleria Uusi Kipinä, (both Finland), the Rotterdam Art Fair and the Stockholm Art Fair, The Yard (Colorado Springs), AC Institute (online screening). Lappi has been an artist-in-residence at Yaddo (New York) and SIM (Reykjavik), and will be a 2019 participant in the Bronx Museum AIM Fellowship program (New York). Laura is one of the newest artists represented on Neesh, an online curatorial project directed by Fran Holstrom featuring serious artists making collectible work. To learn more about the artist, please visit www.neesh.io or the artist’s website www.lauralappi.com

8. Nicolás Dumit Estévez Raful Espejo, FF Alumn, at Albion College, MI, fall 2019

Caminata and On Foot
Conceived by Nicolás Dumit Estévez Raful Espejo

Albion, Michigan, fall of 2019
Presented as part of the Philip C. Curtis Artist Residency at Albion College, MI

In the fall of 2019 I relocate to Albion, Michigan, a city near the car capital of the world: Detroit, to pursue Caminata. This is an embodied research formatted as an on-going cultural pilgrimage, focused on walking and meeting people. I am particularly interested in how roads of all kinds in Albion can serve as a pedagogical tool that will allow me to expand on the pilgrimages to different museums, and based on the Road to Santiago de Compostela, that I undertook with Franklin Furnace and Lower Manhattan Cultural Council from 2003-2007. I foresee this rare opportunity as giving me the platform to forge meaningful connections and thus helping bridge some of the polarization that the U.S. is experiencing now. I am open to meeting with teachers, crafts people, healers, small shop owners, religious and political leaders, farmers, artists, students, and historians, among others, living along the route.

Caminata is a bipedal research-art piece that looks at el camino, the road, from a holistic perspective, hence bringing together a variety of elements pertaining to different fields of knowledge. With this in mind, I seek to build a comprehensive archive that will preserve the essence of the journey through a journal, written Q and A’s, specimens collected, and mementos resulting from my exchanges with the individuals and organizations I meet while in route.

Caminata combines all of my previous expertise and skills in art-making, teaching, public speaking, organizing people, healing, producing participatory workshops, writing for newspapers as well as academic publications, and creating multidimensional and transdisciplinary experiences where art and the day-to-day often walk side by side.

A solo exhibition entitled On Foot will showcase selected elements of Caminata, as well as some of the works dealing with walking that I have done during the last 20 years.

11. George Peck, FF Alumn, at Collegium Hungaricum, Berlin, Germany, September 12-October 18

Dear Friends,

It is with great pleasure that I announce that a new installation of mine will appear in the exhibition “From the Brush to the Camera” at the Balassi Institut, Collegium Hungaricum Berlin from September 12th to October 18th.

The exhibition, curated by Katalin T. Nagy, focuses on the early work of Laszlo Moholy-Nagy, and includes the work of a select group of contemporary artists.

The invitation for me to participate in the exhibition had several criteria. The new work had to be made for a double window, be sent fast, and of course had to relate to Moholy-Nagy and the Bauhaus. In 1923 Moholy-Nagy called a sign maker and ordered three ‘paintings’ later to be named Telephone Pictures. In turn, my new work, – MC / a kit -, takes the form of a kit that can be ordered, and comes with instructions so the recipients can install it themselves. Its structural configuration came out of a painting I made in 1968, reflecting on the Bauhaus and beyond. This new site-specific work is comprised of 41 vinyl panels assembled as a kit.

Best regards,
George Peck

14. Mark Bloch, FF Alumn, at WhiteHotMagazine.com now online

Mark Bloch has written two different online articles for White Hot Magazine about two different Chinese artists with totally different approaches to contemporary art, although both are merging the histories of Eastern and Western art. One is about Shen Jingdong, age 54 and the other Wu Qian, age 28.

Shen Jingdong: “Shen Jingdong is here”

https://whitehotmagazine.com/articles/shen-jingdong-is-here-/4351

An excerpt:
After the opening of China in 1978 and the emergence of the first generation of contemporary art makers, came Shen, born in 1965, whose work is more detached and ambiguous, even disturbingly so. He takes Chinese history and art history and projects it into the country’s ambitious future, using the formulae of contemporary art to transform its heroes into Everymen and its Everymen into heroes. Shen’s youth, spent in the Cultural Revolution, transport us through his childhood memories, neither toward state-manufactured oppression, nor to angry irony, but to a matter-of-fact acceptance of the individual’s position among the masses.

If such a process sounds potentially depressing, Shen battles it with a buoyant attraction to characters that are user friendly. Each subject is likable and fun. His oil paintings have no heaviness but employ smooth brush strokes and lively fresh colors to create doll-like, cartoonish, easy-to-look at faces. When asked if his figures were meant to evoke plastic or hollowness, he pivoted instead to a discussion of the texture of porcelain which he tries to convey in his oil paintings. He also cited the three silver military caps of a soldier cast in metal, identical to the original, but with a completely different feel. Shen is interested in proxies, not doppelgangers.

Wandering in the Crossroads: Qian Wu’s Recent Works

https://whitehotmagazine.com/articles/qian-wu-s-recent-works/4366

An excerpt:
When I asked about abstraction Wu replied, “What is abstract? Nothing is abstract. Calligraphy is abstract. Chinese opera is abstract.”
Wu’s grandparents were big fans of Beijing opera, which combines music, vocal performance and dance with mime and acrobatics. It arose in the late 18th century. He did not see it in person but has fond memories of watching it with his grandparents on TV “because the Beijing opera did not come to Xiamen.” The opera explored loyal or treacherous characters and their feelings of happiness and sorrow, surprise and anger. He loved it because the Beijing opera is abstract. “They ride a fake horse with just a few movements. When they walk out the door-in the west, in the Italian opera -it’s a physical door. In the Chinese opera there is no door; it’s a pantomime.” It made a deep impression on him as a child. Perhaps it embodies the idea of the profound reality behind the illusions of art.

15. Lucio Pozzi, FF Alumn, at Palazzo Ducale Mantova, Italy, opening Sept. 6

Risonanze / People and Things
a show in four parts
Opening September 6 at 5:30 PM

Reading the News (1998)
6 and 7 September (9:30 AM – 5:30 PM) Sala degli Arcieri.
I sit on a chair that has under it grapes, nuts and water. I read out loud the news of the moment for 8 hours. For every man’s name I substitute Gino Rossi/John Smith and for every woman’s Maria Conti/Mary Jones. In random turn I wear four caps: green, red, blue, yellow. There will be occasional music.
60 Yards of People and Things (2002)
Eight long loose canvases painted with black acrylic are draped over the Galleria Nuova rods. The images are seen from both sides. There are four colored stains, green, red, blue, yellow.
Kerotakis, the Mediator Angel’s Wheel (2014)
An acrylic painting on stretched canvas from the Scatter Group is installed among pictures from the XVI and XVII Century in the Second Alcove Room. The four colors, green, red, blue, yellow are obvious in it.
Upside Down House (2019)
Several 98 1/2 inch wooden studs are assembled to form the structure of a red cube and a blue pyramid. The pyramid roof is overturned to enter the upper part of the house cube. Two small metal plates of two of the holding joints are tinted one in green and one in yellow.
These works are designed to take new identities every time they are placed in a new context. Here, in the Ducale Museum they become totally specific to the site. The dates next to the titles are only records of their first engagements.
