1. Ana Mendieta, Julie Tolentino, FF Alumns at EFA Project Space, Manhattan, opening Sept. 18
Soft And Wet
On View: September 18-November 16, 2019
Opening reception and curatorial walkthrough:
Wednesday, September 18, 5-8 pm
Curated By: Sadia Shirazi
Artists: Arooj Aftab, Beverly Buchanan, Crystal Z Campbell, Caroline Key, Ana Mendieta, Andy Robert, Julie Tolentino, Zarina, Constantina Zavitsanos
EFA Project Space is pleased to present Soft and Wet, curated by Sadia Shirazi. The exhibition features works by Arooj Aftab, Beverly Buchanan, Crystal Z Campbell, Caroline Key, Ana Mendieta, Andy Robert, Julie Tolentino, Zarina, and Constantina Zavitsanos.
The exhibition cites Prince’s 1978 single, “Soft and Wet” and Dialectics of Isolation: An Exhibition of Third World Women Artists of the United States, which was co-curated by Ana Mendieta, Kazuko Miyamoto, and Zarina at A.I.R. Gallery in 1980. These citations serve as reference points to help us locate fleshy, formalist impulses in the practices of contemporary artists that echo those of artists from the 1970s. Working through sound, vision, vibration, touch, and breath, the artists in Soft and Wet activate multi-sensory responses that move beyond the linguistic registers of a singular voice and questions of individuated agency dominating discourses of representational art. The artists turn their formalism towards questions of flesh, fugitivity, and consent in relation to the nation-state, neoliberal capitalism, and the medical-industrial complex, while stretching formalism beyond the assumption of hegemonic subjects as the sole inheritors of its legacy. The works in this show are experiments in, and explorations of, what it means “to consent not to be a single being” as Édouard Glissant writes. The artists in Soft and Wet think with and through one another, invoking the artist whose song gives the exhibition its title, to feel out the contours of other ways of being in relation. They join him in saying-We’d be so lost, in our mouths, the best, I feel it everyday (every way).
Exhibition Events
Wednesday, September 18, 2019, 5-8 pm: Curatorial walkthrough and opening reception. (Note: walkthrough starts promptly at 5 pm)
Saturday, October 19, 2019, 5 pm: Lecture Performance by Crystal Z Campbell, followed by a conversation with Sadia Shirazi, Caroline Key, and guest speaker. The conversation will touch upon questions of flesh, fugitivity, and consent in relation to the medical-industrial complex, focusing on Campbell’s work on Henrietta Lacks’s immortal cells and Key’s work on the technological gaze in her new video work Khora. (Note: this event takes place during EFA’s Open Studios Weekend)
Friday, November 15, 2019, 5 pm: Publication launch. Writers of commissioned texts will read excerpts from their writing, alongside readings of selected passages by artists included in the catalogue of Dialectics of Isolation: An Exhibition of Third World Women Artists of the United States from 1980, followed by a conversation.

Mark Bloch writes in print and online for the Brooklyn Rail about a Native American painter whose must-see exhibition closes in a few days–Sept 16
T.C. Cannon: At the Edge of America
By Mark Bloch
https://brooklynrail.org/2019/09/artseen/TC-Cannon-At-the-Edge-of-America and in the print edition
“T.C. (Tommy Wayne) Cannon painted Native American portraits outside against skies with potato-shaped clouds and in interiors against “magical circle” wallpaper patterns with unlikely color combinations. He transformed the garments and neckwear of his subjects to bring out the gravitas from their faces and posture, creating jolting, psychedelic yet monumental tributes, political in their mere existence and as solid and American as Mount Rushmore…. Each Indian face reflects dignity, respect and seriousness, the centerpiece of this important, must-see show, reminiscent of Charles White’s powerful African-American portraits at MoMA last year. Yet, despite the strength portrayed in Cannon’s Native American faces, it is not unusual for eyes to linger in the shadows cast by hands or hat brims shielding his subjects from the sun-and perhaps us.”

3. Stacy Skolnik, FF Member, at MX Gallery, Manhattan, Sept. 19
mrsblueeyes123.com launch: Vanessa Place, Abby Lloyd, and Stacy Skolnik at MX Gallery NYC, 7-9pm Sept 19.
In a world of increasing surveillance and virtuality, who controls what we can and can’t watch? Or worse, what we can and can’t want?
These are some of the questions that Stacy Skolnik asks in her new collection of poetry, mrsblueeyes123.com. The poems in this book-as-website were previously released on Instagram under the handle @mrsblueeyes123. But the account was banned within six months of its creation. Having lost an interactive and consistent audience of nearly 2,000 followers, Skolnik now reclaims a space for herself on the internet and asks the reader to join her in a complicated, spiraling, and shamelessly public interrogation of our own relationships to consent, objectification, censorship, and the erotic.
At this launch event featuring performances from visual artist/clown Abby Lloyd, and writer/lawyer Vanessa Place, against the backdrop of Corey Presha’s paintings which draw from Jim Crow-era cartoons, we try to make sense of what type of censorship is just, what we are allowed to look at, and what we allow ourselves to want to look at. What language and imagery can be appropriated from the past and present in order to make new narratives, or resolve old ones? How does that determine what we long for or laugh at in public? Are we bad people if we do it when we’re alone? Who has the right to talk about their desires? And who should be banned from the conversation?

Principles and processes of destruction, accident, failure, feedback, transmission error… play an important role in the conception and creation of art. The exhibition tries to place these ‘negative notions’ in a ‘positive perspective’ and attributes to the ‘error’ it’s true merit as essential element conductive to question the meaning of art, while investigating the medium with its limitations as the convention of language and the codes in its understanding.
Realised with the support of the Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles, Brussels International and Vedett.

John Kelly’s ‘Underneath The Skin’ Oct 11 & 12 at 7:30pm
** JOHN KELLY PREMIERES NEW WORK OCT 11 & 12 at NYU SKIRBALL!
)
Dear Friends – I am excited to be sharing this world premiere with you!
October 11 & 12, 7:30pm at NYU Skirball
Underneath The Skin (https://nyuskirball.org/events/john-kelly-underneath-skin/) is a new dance theatre work drawn from the life of sexual rebel Samuel Steward (1909-1993). A novelist, poet, and scholar, Steward abandoned his post as a staid university professor to reinvent himself as Phil Andros, a writer of gay erotic fiction – and as Philip Sparrow, one of the 20th century’s most influential tattoo artists.
Alone the way, he had trysts with Rudolph Valentino and Lord Alfred Douglas; attracted the friendships of Gertrude Stein, Thornton Wilder, and André Gide; and meticulously recorded his thousands of sexual encounters in his “Stud File.”
In this NYU Skirball commission, Kelly virtuosically weaves Steward’s letters, essays, unpublished autobiography, and interviews, along with movement, video projections and digital animations of his erotic illustrations and tattoo designs, into a kaleidoscopic meditation on a queer maverick.
This performance contains mature themes.
Appropriate for ages 18+.

DNA HAS NO COLOR, a sculpture
DNA has no color. Scientists see it as translucent, even though it can sometimes appear whitish due to impurities in samples. Race is a social construct. We are all one race, the human one, and all human DNA is colorless.
Perpetual Mary, an experiential installation
Perpetual Mary is a glow-in-the-dark figurine that serves as a tool to see and experience the energy around her. To most viewers, Mary appears to move, assisted by the energy in the room. Is seeing her move a miracle in itself, or is it seeing the energy around Mary that’s miraculous? Viewers can decide for themselves. Do you see her moving in this still image? Please feel free to download it onto your computer or phone. It takes most people between 5 and 20 seconds to see Mary in motion.
The installation Perpetual Mary will be accessible every 30 minutes by a maximum of 20 people, with first access at 10:30am and last access at 6:30pm. For more information: festival@firenzesuonacontemporanea.it / segreteria@museomarinomarini.it
The Museo Marino Marini is located within the site of an ancient church and was a monastery for nuns in the 1500’s. Perpetual Mary will be installed in the room of the crypt beneath the museum that still houses the nuns’ remains. Mother Mary has been a symbolic representation of the feminine aspect for centuries and continues to be a key figure in belief systems worldwide. The installation will be accompanied by the music of two of the earliest European female composers.
Love Above All Else, a video projection
Love Above All Else is a video projection created from the repeated writing of the word Love (or I love you), drawn both handed for brain balancing. Beneath the images is an underlay of love’s opposite in the form of fourteen photographs combined that symbolize war, racism, poverty, disease, terrorism, global warming, mass shootings, ethnic cleansing, refugees displaced, hurricanes, fires, religious conflicts, family separations, and famine. Together these constitute one disruptive, apocalyptic image that has been lightened to be barely visible, as if the totality of all human suffering is disappearing. Conceptually, the lightening of the image that is barely visible underneath represents the power of love to transmute all that negativity. The Love Above All Else video projection symbolically represents the vibration of love triumphant over Earth’s current malaise.
The Energy of a Drawing in UV Light, a video projection
This video recorded the energy over a drawing made with two graphite sticks (one for each hand) along with a substance of “unknown origin.” Something I have seen as a form of “liquid light” has been added to the paper, disappearing instantly. Although scientists have not yet been able to identify its properties, I believe this mysterious form of light enables us to see the energy moving over it.

Dear Friends!
Fall is almost here and I am excited to share a new exhibition of my work at the Noguchi Museum! Brendan Fernandes: Contract and Release will open to the public Wednesday 11 September, following an opening event on Tuesday 10 September from 6PM-8PM.
This major new project will take place within the Noguchi’s current collection exhibition, Noguchi: Body-Space Devices. In reverence and excitement, a series of new works will share space with sculptures and dance-sets Noguchi produced for Martha Graham. Within this space my contributions consist of new choreography, a series of new sculptural devices designed in collaboration with Norman Kelley and costumes by Rad Hourani. Performances will take place Saturdays at 1:30PM and 3:00PM, following the schedule below:
September 14 and 28, 2019

Noguchi at Night will feature a performance by Lloyd Knight, principal dancer with the Martha Graham Dance Company; a culinary experience created by Masayo Funakoshi, Chef at Farmoon, Kyoto; and a DJ set by Karsten Sollors. All not to be missed!
Produced over the course of a very full year (full of new highlights) it is an honour to be winding down summer and celebrating this new work together at the Noguchi. I hope many can join us on the 10th and many more will be able to join along the way!
As always, sending my best,
Brendan

11. Chun Hua Catherine Dong, FF Alumn, at MOMENTA | Biennale de I’image, Montreal, Canada, thru Oct. 13
Chun Hua Catherine Dong presents her work, MOTHER, at Galerie de I’ UQAM as part of MOMENTA | Biennale de I’image, Montreal, CA. Sept 5 -Oct 13, 2019.
Opening reception: Wednesday, September 5, 2019. 5:00pm -6:30pm
“Mother” consists of 14 photographs and a video dedicating to Dong’s absent mother. Absence is a form of presence. Since her mother passed away, she went back to China where she was born and found 14 mothers who are her mother’s close friends and relatives. She bought a pair of floral embroidered traditional Chinese shoes to each mother as a gift, because her mother always loved the floral embroidered shoes. They took photographs together at each mother’s home where the mother wore the new shoes and she wore her cloth. After taking photos with each mother, she invited all mothers to come together for a group portrait that was transformed to a video later.
This work seeks consolation and restores narrations of the past through visual expression of memories and loss, exploring relationship between life and death, human existence and universal emotions. She uses re-enactment as a method of revisiting and re-imagining past to create scenarios of her mother visiting her birth place and meeting her childhood friends. Through using her own body to present her mother’s present, she reunites with her mother and become her. This work reveals how the mother/daughter relationship is experienced as a site of love and care, and how memories cross time and space to create a new experience that not only transcends life and death, bridges past and present, but also transforms emotions and realities. “Mother” is an embodiment of a melancholic longing for an unrecoverable past and a memento mori: a reminder of the inexorable passage of time and the beautiful transience of human life.

Reviews
“Only a handful of writers have the intellectual chops, creative intuition, and vision of art history to speak holistically about performance art, but Jacki Apple consistently proves herself essential to the field and how we understand it. She digs into both the formal and the ineffable dimensions of performance with unmatched power and clarity without sacrificing honesty about the art and artists she clearly loves. Jacki stands in the evolving vortex of performance art so we can see its future.”– Eric Gutierrez, Writer/former Executive Editor, High Performance
“Jacki Apple has always made works that come at you from every possible angle. As composer, performer, writer and cultural detective, she is fearless at pushing the boundaries of her own work, while simultaneously providing platforms for other artists to push their own possibilities. This book has been brewing for over 35 years. It is the story of what where when why and how we are in this culture now, told by a vital participant and invaluable witness.” — Terry Allen, Artist
“Jacki Apple’s accurate, intimate, gracious, erudite and insightful writing provides a front row seat to an expanding cultural big-bang. This book is a gift to those of us determined to understand the who, the where, the when, the how and the why of the tectonic shifts that brought social interaction into the scope and insight of art makers. Her enthusiasm for the subject coupled with a commitment to her readers makes for learning more than history. She makes the history feel contemporary.” — Conrad Gleber PhD, Media artist
“For several decades now, Jacki Apple’s astute observations of the arts, performance, and culture in Los Angeles have added profound insight to this still burgeoning landscape populated by the movers and shakers who flock here. Her history as an artist in her own right expands the depth and comprehension of her analysis. She has been an influencer in the truest sense, advancing the cultural discussion with erudition and compassion. Among the annals of tomes dedicated to understanding why LA is so significant, so centripetal, this is a long-awaited addition” – Tony Abatemarco, Playwright, Performer, Co-Artistic Director – Skylight Theatre Co.
“Jacki Apple’s writing about the temporal arts stuns the reader with its capacity to contextualize projects historically. She weaves together diverse cultural interventions with an urgency about their meaning for this crucial moment in the world.” — Beverly Naidus, artist, author, activist and Professor, University of Washington, Tacoma
“Jacki Apple’s heightened artistic perception has opened my eyes to the meaning of my early visceral raw performances from the1980’s to the present more theatrically polished ones. Her insightful critical writing not only changed the way I understood my own work and its role in pushing boundaries and breaking taboos, but also the performance work of my peers in times of political pressure. For anyone who wants to understand this history, this book is eye-opening.” – John Fleck, Performance artist.
“Jacki Apple is a tireless advocate for the aesthetic, the generative, for art that intervenes and illuminates. She is the rare artist who is generous and revelatory, bringing enormous skill and knowledge to the work of fellow artists crossing many disciplines, as do her own intricate and multifaceted creations.” – Jeff McMahon, Performer and writer. Associate Professor, Arizona State University.

17. Alina Bliumis, FF Alumn, at Anne De Villepoix, Paris, France, Sept. 14-Oct. 26
Alina Bliumis
On the Land of Eagles
September 14 – October 26, 2019
Alina Bliumis’ exhibition, On the Land of Eagles, voyages through global national symbols and identities. The Poems Without Borders series features the world’s tourism slogans in patterned rhymes. Amateur Bird Watching at Passport Control unlocks symbolic imagery from passport covers. The artist traces global territories in the allegorical Maps Unleashed drawings, and portrays national animal symbols in the Nature of Nations series.
“I feel Slovenia, I need Spain, Fiji Me, Cameroon is back.” Tourism slogans market countries to an expanding industry fueled by low-cost no-frills airlines. Abstract yet suggestive taglines allow foreigners to dream up their own ideas about the countries they want to visit. The series Poems Without Borders (2018-2019) arranges official national tourism slogans of forty-eight nations into sixteen poems. For this exhibition, the text-based piece is placed directly on the wall in one straight line that wraps around the gallery space.
Tourism and migration are the most significant manifestations of globalization. While economic, political and environmental migrants are routinely blocked at the border, tourists are ceaselessly wooed on various media and advertising platforms. While countries sculpt their national identities to make themselves more appealing to visitors, they use ethnic and cultural definitions to reinforce laws limiting migration.
“Free as a bird” we definitely are not. Yet ironically there are fifty bird symbols incorporated into the coats of arms depicted on the passport covers of forty-three nations. The Amateur Bird Watching at Passport Control series (2016-2017) presents forty-three works on paper. From eagles to doves, from Albania to Tonga, Bliumis studied all existing passport covers – 195 in total — looking for birds in order to free them from their national context. She traced each bird, true to its source, with a focus on the species’ characteristics. The birds at the intersection of nation and nature include: the famous one-legged pose of a flamingo (Bahamas), a vulture in a gliding flight (Mali), an extinct flightless dodo (Mauritius), a rooster with an axe (Kenya) and a mythological creature that is part woman and part bird known as a Harpy (Liechtenstein).
Birds are not the only animals that nations use to symbolize themselves-a brown bear, a Fennec fox, an Apennine Wolf, a Barbary Macaque, a Marten or a goat are all official national animals. Nature of Nations (2019) is a series of watercolor portraits inspired by official national animals, heraldic design elements, geographical borders, folk fables, and stereotypes. The resulting images portray: A bird of prey, the bald eagle, freed from the USA coat of arms with a halo made of two olive branches is staring at the viewer, its claw is free of arrows. A seductive double-headed rooster of France is flirting with the audience. An outraged bear with wings is a combination of two symbols, the bear of the Soviet Union and the double-headed eagle of contemporary Russia. A goat of Iraq is crowned with a sword-shaped horn.
The series Nations Unleashed (2018-2019) is inspired by the historical tradition of satirical maps, which employ animal symbolism and stereotypes to convey biting political critique and/or to cover up human actions in certain political theaters. The series comprises watercolor and pencil drawings on paper. Delicately toned washes of blue surround loosely sketched landmasses populated by an array of diverse animals, each representing a critical political interest. Bliumis’ interpretations range from the literal – as in the American bald eagle – to the fanciful – as in a two-headed Scandinavian lion. What these maps lack in geographic accuracy is made up in thorough doses of imagination and humor, leaving further interpretation open to the viewer.
All four series in the exhibition investigate the formation of national identity, its historical and geographical roots and its ambitions in global geopolitics. National symbols often reflect national interests but imagine for a moment if, as the myth goes, the U.S. Congress had conceded to Benjamin Franklin. For instance, he might have chosen the wild turkey as the national bird, instead of the bald eagle. Would the country’s domestic policies and international interests have unfolded differently?

In addition to his work as a poet, Whitman is also remembered as a book designer and printer, essayist and journalist. Calling himself “the Bard of Democracy,” Whitman broke the mold in his prolific writings calling for equality, inclusivity and a more humanist world for all to live in.

20. Tom Otterness, FF Alumn, at Marlborough Gallery, Manhattan, thru Oct. 12
Tom Otterness
Sculpture & Drawing:
1996 – 2017
September 10 – October 12, 2019
40 West 57th Street
Marlborough is pleased to announce a comprehensive exhibition of works by Tom Otterness. It will consist of some 40 sculptures as well as several works on paper and include many of the key works created by the artist over the past 23 years. The works, which range in scale from compact to monumental, will be displayed throughout the second floor gallery as well as in the 57th-56th Street Breezeway.
Otterness’s well-known and endlessly inventive sculptural creations have made him one of the most popular American artists of the day. His signature figures-Cones, Spheres, and Cylinders-are presented in a wide range of sculptural situations. The shapes have the effect of universalizing form yet are remarkably expressive. Each is recognizably his own creation and at the same time reflective of art history, fables, allegories or current events.
An illustrated catalog will be available at the time of the exhibition.

23. Coco Fusco, FF Alumn, at St. Olaf College, Northfield, MN, thru Dec. 18
Coco Fusco: Swimming on Dry Land/Nadar en Seco, organized by Jane Becker Nelson with Christina Wiles and Christopher Tradowsky, at the Flaten Art Museum at St. Olaf College, Northfield, MN.
September 5 – December 18, 2019
Swimming on Dry Land/Nadar en Seco features video and installation work by interdisciplinary artist Coco Fusco. The exhibition’s title alludes to a verse by the Cuban poet Virgilio Piñera, quoted in Fusco’s piece Y entonces el mar te habla (And the Sea Will Talk To You) (2012). Over the past three decades, Fusco has remained committed to issues related to the production of knowledge, gender, race, and power. Building on those themes, this exhibition explores the intersections of historicity, memory, absence, and the challenge that poetic license and critical vision represent for the Cuban revolution. As Fusco grapples with Cuba’s impact on her own political vision, she questions the country’s mythological place in collective global consciousness.
The works on view here invite us to consider how absence and invisibility can be forms of somatic and psychic violence and, alternatively, how images and visibility are forms of power. Fusco weaves together archival materials and footage of Havana in the postcommunist era together with poetic reflections that invoke forbidden subjects. For Fusco, the act of making visible that which has been rendered invisible or obsolete by those in power is a political act.
Of her work Fusco notes, “Visitors to Cuba invariably arrive because they are obsessed with its past. For Cubans, however, there is an ongoing struggle, both to shape a vision of a postrevolutionary future and to address suppressed events from the past and present. My work is part of that effort.”
