Weekly Spotlight: Vern Fisher, FF Alumn, online at the FF LOFT, Sept. 18

Born to rural Texas farmers in 1943, Vernon Fisher’s childhood exposure to painting was only as “something you did to houses.”  By the 1980’s, he was exhibiting alongside Andy Warhol and Jean-Michel Basquiat, establishing himself as one of the most important artists of the 20th century. Throughout his career, Fisher was also an influential art professor at the University of North Texas.

Artist Jeff Elrod is a former student and describes his time with Fisher as “life changing.” Another former student, Baseera Khan, recently won the 2023 MTV reality show, “The Exhibit: Finding the Next Great Artist”. Both artists are featured in Breaking the Code.

The film also features MacArthur Genius Grant recipient, Dave Hickey, and the acclaimed art historian, Frances Colpitt, in two of the final interviews recorded before their respective deaths in 2021 and 2022.

Winner of “Best Historical Film” at the 2023 Dallas International Film Festival, Breaking the Code introduces Vernon Fisher to a new generation while also giving the many who already know his work an intimate look at his life and art. A virtual discussion and Q&A will follow this Franklin Furnace LOFT Screening of the film. The discussion will feature former Under Secretary for Art at the Smithsonian Institution Ned Rifkin, Glasstire Publisher Brandon Zech, filmmaker Michael Flanagan and Franklin Furnace’s Ken Dewey Director Harley Spiller. Breaking the Code will be available to stream online via Glasstire TV following the Franklin Furnace LOFT Screening.

CENTRAL, the first Central American and Caribbean performance art festival, will take place from September to November 2024 in Grace Exhibition Space, located in the Lower East Side, Manhattan, New York. In this festival, attendees will be able to see 24 performances by artists who work from immateriality and the creation of ephemeral experiences from the body, exploring themes such as violence, migration, diaspora, the abuse of power, identity and other problems intrinsic to the human being. Curated by the Mexican artist Pancho López, this festival seeks to build a bridge between the Central American region, some Caribbean islands, and one of the most important global stages in the world in terms of art and culture: New York City.

Dedicated to the memory of the Honduran artist César A. Manzanares, a pioneer performer from the Central American region who recently passed away.

This Festival seeks to bring together 24 performative proposals from September through November 2024.

10. Stefan Hayn, FF Alumn, at Berlin Art Week, Germany, thru Sept. 17 

We are delighted to announce our anniversary exhibition THE END JUSTIFES THE MEANS. The desire, the abstraction, the foundation for BERLIN ART WEEK, curated by Hans-Jürgen Hafner, and cordially invite you to the opening on Friday, September 13th from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.

Established in 2009, the foundation is celebrating its fifteenth anniversary this year. The exhibition The End Justifies the Means is intended to honor this. The show, curated by Berlin exhibition organizer Hans-Jürgen Hafner, is about the foundation itself, which its initiator Jochen Kienzle sees as a medium in line with the foundation’s purpose: to actively participate in the production, presentation and communication of art based on the works of the Kienzle collection.

For the Kienzle Art Foundation, this means continuing what Jochen Kienzle always had in mind as a collector and from 1997 to 2010 as operator of the Kienzle & Gmeiner Gallery: to establish a permanent and sustainable relationship with the art of the time and to actively engage with it. Anyone who is not an artist, curator or art critic needs a suitably stubborn register for this. In doing so, the Kienzle Art Foundation shows itself to be a medium beyond the foundation’s purpose: in this way, the founder’s wish to ensure a specific approach to and with art can be articulated. In abstract terms, this includes its production and circulation, work on its value and its meaning, and consequently enters concretely into the field of tension between artistic, curatorial and art-historical-critical practice.

THE END JUSTIFIES THE MEANS. The desire, the abstraction, the foundation is a thematic group exhibition that subjects selected works from the Jochen Kienzle collection to a re-reading that focuses in particular on the aspect of mediality and reflexivity: which visual artistic, media-critical, discourse and context-analytical tools artists use and how they have used these in the spirit of their own historically situated artistic project. Against the backdrop of an art that is stubbornly focused on presence, topicality and materiality, the exhibition also emphasizes the aspect of historical-genealogical development that is embedded in the formation of collections and institutions – not as a natural “course of things”, but as something that can be shaped, changed and altered, with the Kienzle Art Foundation as a reference and comparison point. Originally conceived as both a tableau and a display for the opening exhibition of the Kienzle Art Foundation Loose Joints, Berlin artist Elmar Zimmermann will re-enact his installation “Eine Wand” in relation to the current exhibition theme.

At the same time, the Kienzle Art Foundation is presenting itself in a new graphic design. The appearance was developed in collaboration with cmk Büro für Gestaltung .

The exhibition presents works by Fareed Armaly, Francois Joseph Chabrillat, Friederike Clever, Christian Flamm, Penelope Georgiou, Stefan Hayn, Fred Hugel, Jasmine Justice, Josef Kramhöller, Claudia Kugler, Jonathan Lasker, Tom Meacham, Klaus Merkel, Alfred Müller, Verena Pfisterer, Gunter Reski, Ketty La Rocca, Schleifschnecke (Jesko Fezer & Axel John Wieder), Emil Schuhmacher, Kurt Schwitters, Elmar Zimmermann, Peter Zimmermann.

Hans-Jürgen Hafner (*1972) works as an exhibition organizer, author and art critic. Most recently he curated the exhibition I AM THE AUDIENCE &/Installing Theory: “The Idea of the New” at the kunstbunker – forum for contemporary art, Nuremberg and dealt with models of fictitious artistic authorship. Together with Daniel Kletke, Hafner conceived the first show of the Kienzle Art Foundation in 2010 with the exhibition “Loose Joints” and classified the collection. As an exhibition organizer he has curated numerous other exhibitions, including the first institutional retrospective of the concept art pioneer Henry Flynt. From 2011 to 2016 he was director of the Kunstverein für die Rheinlande und Westfalen, Düsseldorf. Hafner writes for Spike Art Quarterly, Texte zur Kunst and the taz, among others.

18. ​​Kal Spelletich, FF Alumn, at Anglim/Trimble, San Francisco, CA, thru Oct. 26

Anglim/Trimble is pleased to present our latest group exhibition In the Manner of Paul Kos
 

In this exhibition curated by Kal Spelletich, 19 friends, colleagues and fans honor and reflect on the manner of Paul Kos.

In 1942, Marcel Duchamp created the collage In the Manner of Delvaux which announced his return, after a long absence, to New York City. It was a humorous double forgery that seemed to copy a detail of Paul Delvaux’s Aurore (1937) while being different in every way. It was also the first crucial work in forging a bridge, via the “infra-thin” and the related concept of the “renvoi miroirique” (“mirrorical return”), between The Large Glass and Étant Donnés, the two major works of his career. Paul Kos’s piece Symmetry functions as a similar gesture, invoking Duchamp’s double entendre and providing the context for this group exhibition. 

Paul Kos, born in 1942 in Rock Springs, Wyoming, has inspired and taught countless artists in their work and life. Together with some of his contemporaries like Bonnie Ora Sherk, Denis Oppenheim, Bruce Nauman and Rebecca Horn, he was one of the first artists to incorporate video, sound and interactivity into his sculptural installations. Paul has been drawn to the integrity of materials and in finding a place where material, play, chance and meaning can magically come together. 

In the Manner of Paul Kos bridges the gap between generations, thought processes, and media, including video, performance, drawing, installation and writing. It offers both an homage to Paul and, referentially, Duchamp’s conceptual legacy.

Featured artists: Rhonda Holberton, Maggie Preston, Jennifer Locke, Chris Sollars, Terry Allen, Cliff Hengst, Chris Cobb, Gay Outlaw, Will Rogan, Justin Hoover, Léonie Guyer, Julien Berthier, Stefan Maier, Ian Treasure, Clive McCarthy, Michael Zheng, William T. Vollman, Kal Spelletich, and essay by Steven Wolf.
 

In the Manner of Paul Kos is on view through Saturday, October 26.

20. Mitzi Humphrey, FF Alumn, at Artspace, Richmond, VA, opening Oct. 25

Artspace in Richmond Presents New Exhibitions Oct. 25 through Nov. 16, 2024

Opening Reception: Friday, October 25, from 6 – 9 p.m.

Artist talks: Saturday, October 26 at 2 p.m.

On exhibit in the Main gallery

Prints, installations, and performance pieces by Megan  Nolde

Embroidery by Simone Paterson

Mixed media by Martha Prideaux

On exhibit in the Elisabeth Flynn-Chapman gallery

Digital and mixed media by Katie Shaw and Renée Stramel

About the featured artists:

Megan Nolde / Singly None is rooted in the values instilled in Nolde’s rural upbringing in the Shenandoah Valley. Through her works, she shows how the power of community, a collective sense of belonging built on trust, are radical acts in our current culture of individualism and isolation. Megan’s work asks that we choose trust, patience, and humility – through sharing, making, and listening – as a step towards the world we might make possible.  

Megan holds dual BFA’s from Virginia Commonwealth University (Printmaking, Art Education) and an MFA in Printmaking from Tyler School of Art at Temple University, Philadelphia, PA. She has shown in Philadelphia, PA; Trenton, NJ; Harrisburg, PA, Richmond, VA, and Harrisonburg, VA. She also owns SAGE, a small business focused on strategic consulting and support for small nonprofits, businesses, and community organizers.Instagram: @huzzah_factory

Simone Paterson / Machine Memory and Motherboardsexplores the intricate evolution of computing from the 1940s to the present, blending machine embroidery, hand beading, and motion graphics to illuminate the hidden labor and technological milestones that have shaped our digital world. By using traditionally feminine crafts like embroidery and beading, her work highlights the often-overlooked human effort involved in technological innovations and the intricate web of labor and knowledge that propels us into an ever more complex future.

Simone was born and educated in Australia, where she earned her Ph.D. The University of Newcastle in New South Wales and M.F.A. from Sydney University, New South Wales. Her solo exhibitions, showcasing diverse applications of technology and textiles, have been featured at A.I.R. Gallery in Brooklyn, New York, the Taubman Museum of Art in Roanoke, Virginia, and at Art Space in Sydney, Australia. As a Copenhaver Scholar in Residence at Roanoke College in 2023, Olin Hall Galleries held a retrospective of her works. She has also presented at the College Art Association in New York and ISEA in South Africa.

She is a retired Associate Professor from Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, Virginia, where she also served as Chair of Undergraduate Studies in Creative Technologies and Chair of Studio at the School of Visual Arts. She also was a member of Virginia Tech’s Executive Committee of the Human-Centered Design graduate program. Instagram: @simonepatersonart

Facebook: simonepatersonart

Martha Prideaux / Plausible features mixed media reflecting an organic process of automatic drawing to create a multi-layered surface that begins with no discernable pattern or structure. From that seeming chaos, she coaxes linear forms to suggest a sense of meaning out of the amorphous.  Her work is not meant to be completely understandable, she says, just plausible.

Martha is a Richmond-based professional painter who is known for using cold wax medium and oil paint to build surfaces that are layered and suggest the passing of time. She is represented by Dwell Fine Art and Craft in Northern Virginia and is an artist member of Artspace Gallery. She is on the faculty of the Studio School at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts and has been an instructor at the Henrico Center for the Arts and Nimrod Hall Artist Residency. Instagram: @marthaprideaux

Katie Shaw and Renée Stramel / Reverb reflects the artists’ iterative and intuitive creative process to produce intricate, repetitive geometric patterns and shapes, especially those that create depth and movement. Using the iconic Chinese “Moon Over the Mountain” motif as a springboard, each artist has, in her own way, been inspired to create work that relies on specific geometries.

Katie Shaw was born in Asheville, North Carolina and now lives in Richmond. She earned a B.F.A., in sculpture with a minor in printmaking, from Virginia Commonwealth University, in Richmond, and an M.F.A. in Sculpture, with concentrations in fiber art and printmaking, from Cranbrook Academy of Art in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. Over the past twenty years, she has worked as a practicing artist, educator, and curator. Her work has been exhibited regionally and nationally.

Renée Stramel is a broad-ranging visual artist with a long commercial career in art publishing and licensing. Renée’s abstract work celebrates color and form characterized by a playful, expressive use of geometry. Renée works in various media including acrylic, watercolor, digital and analog photography, and digital design. Renée lives in Richmond with her filmmaker husband Jim Stramel. Her inspiration comes from the films of the 1970s and 80s, Mother Nature, and mid-20th century graphic design. She works for residential and commercial clients.

About Artspace: A nonprofit, artist-run organization of experienced professionals as well as emerging artists who work in a variety of mediums including clay, encaustic, interactive installations, mixed media, painting, photography, printmaking, and more.

23. ​​Marina Abramović, FF Alumn, at Moco Museum London, UK, thru March 11 and more

Two Major Marina Abramović Solo Exhibitions at the Moco Museum London and gres art 671, Bergamo, Italy

Marina Abramović

Healing Frequency

Moco Museum London, United Kingdom

Solo exhibition, September 11, 2024 – March 11, 2025

Sean Kelly is delighted to announce the opening of Marina Abramović’s Healing Frequency at the Moco Museum London marking the opening of museum’s new flagship location in London’s Marble Arch. The exhibition brings together 12 sculptures from Abramović’s series Transitory Objects for Human Use and is the debut of a new commission work inviting visitors to participate in a state of collective healing.

 In 1988, following her most grueling durational performance in which Abramović walked from one end to the center of the Great Wall of China, she began to create what she refers to as transitory objects. Throughout the years, Abramović has created a series of chairs, beds, and benches adorned with crystals. Each reverberating different energies that invites the publics interaction and encourage moments of contemplation. Visitors can join in silence, reflection or conversation as they explore the exhibition and experience the transformative power of performance art. Healing Frequency challenges visitors to disconnect from the outside world, reassess their reliance on technology, and embrace the potential for personal enlightenment through artistic expression.

For additional information about the exhibition, please visit mocomuseum.com

Marina Abramović

between breath and fire

gres art 671, Bergamo, Italy

Solo exhibition, September 14, 2024 – February 2, 2025

 Sean Kelly is delighted to announce the opening of Marina Abramović’s between breath and fire at gres art 671 in Bergamo, Italy. Foregrounding the exhibition is an immersive cinematic installation of Seven Deaths, an operatic film dedicated to Maria Callas portrayed by Abramović. The exhibition will also present thirty works from Abramović’s oeuvre, from her early performance work to her most recent.

The film Seven Deaths is a one-hour, one-minute, and thirty-second performance that is a meditation on the female body as a source of both power and pain. In it, Abramović turns her focus to renowned opera singer Maria Callas, whose stunning soprano voice captivated audiences around the world in the mid-20th century. Through a mixture of narrative opera and film, Abramović recreates seven iconic death scenes from the American-born, Greek singer’s most important roles—in La Traviata, Tosca, Otello, Madame Butterfly, Carmen, Lucia di Lammermoor, and Norma—followed by an interpretive recreation of Callas’ own death performed onstage by Abramović herself.

24. Petah Coyne, Kathy Grove, Guerilla Girls, FF Alumns, at Chazen Museum of Art, Madison, WI, thru Dec. 23, and more

At the Chazen Museum of Art of the University of Wisconsin, Madison, FF alum Kathy Grove will be exhibiting a dozen works from The Real Guerillas, a long-term collaborative project with Petah Coyne.  For over 5 years Grove and Coyne have been tracking down, photographing and interviewing all the members of the original Guerilla Girls – the anonymous collective that began in 1985. All of the “Girls” had aliases as earlier woman artists, so Grove and Coyne have been producing a comprehensive portfolio of portraits of them as their alter-egos. This exhibition will be part of a larger career survey of Coyne’s work How Much a Heart Can Hold on view from September 19th – December 23rd, 2024. During 2025-2026 the exhibition will travel to the Neuberger Museum of Art in Purchase, New York. Then to its final destination at the Lowe Art Museum of Art in Miami, Florida

27. Helène Aylon, FF Alumn, at Princeton University Art Museum@Bainbridge, NJ, thru Feb. 2, 2025

Helène Aylon: Undercurrent

Princeton University Art Museum

Art@Bainbridge

September 14, 2024 – February 2, 2025

The exhibition includes 21 works dating from 1971 to 2015 that exemplify the artist’s life-long engagement in spiritual, societal, and political concerns. Created in a wide range of mediums, they are, according to the exhibition curator Rachel Federman,  “unified by the themes of openness and resilience.”

The earliest work on view, Silvery Pane (1971) from the Elusive Silver series, is among the artist’s first process-driven works, inspired by her evolving feminist consciousness to create “painting that reveals itself.” Reflecting and refracting an inner glow, these works change visually with the viewer’s stance and the ambient light.

In 1980, Aylon made the conscious decision to “leave studio work behind,” and instead developed a social practice consisting of installations, actions, and objects focused on feminist, ecological, and religious issues. The exhibition includes photographic documentation of Terrestri: Rescued Earth (1982), perhaps the artist’s best known performative work. Transforming a rented truck into an Earth Ambulance, Aylon and other women set out to “rescue” earth from nuclear research and development sites across the United States. Soil was collected in pillowcases on which the women wrote their nightmares and dreams for the planet. The journey, which began on May 2nd at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California, culminated at a nuclear disarmament rally at the United Nations on July 4, 1982.

Aylon created Bridge of Knots from the pillowcases that had been used in Terrestri: “Rescued” Earth, first presenting it in 1993 on the facade of the Knoxville Art Museum in Tennessee. In 1995, she installed the work at the Berkeley Art Museum to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of the nuclear bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and exhibited it again in 2006 on the facade of the Katzen Art Center at American University in Washington, D.C.

A small selection of the knotted, roped pillowcases is on view in the exhibition together with Bridge of Knots (1993), a single-channel video piece by the artist with sound by Meredith Monk.

In the 1990s, the artist began to revisit her cultural, spiritual, and familial roots with

The G–d Project, a twenty-year examination, through objects, videos, photographs, and major installations, of Jewish traditions and theology from a feminist perspective. In The Book That Will Not Close (1999) Aylon inserted vellum sheets between the pages of the Five Books of Moses, applying a pink marker to highlight passages of cruelty, misogyny, and the absence of women.

The exhibition also features two works from the Turnings series of performative self-portraits that the Helèene Aylon began following her recovery from a near-death experience. Both spiritual and philosophical, they depict the aging artist as she confronts her own mortality and relationship to the earth. Each year, from 2008 to 2016, Aylon enacted, “the melodrama of looking forward and looking back simultaneously.”

Helène Aylon (1931–2020) participated in one-person and group exhibitions in museums and galleries throughout the United States, Europe, and Israel. Her work was most recently seen in the group shows Making Their Mark: Works from the Shah Garg Collection, New York (2023–2024):Territories of Waste, Museum Tinguely, Basel, Switzerland (2022); RE/SISTERS, Barbican Art Gallery, London and FOMU Antwerp (2023–2024); and in solo shows at Leslie Tonkonow Artworks + Projects, New York (2019); Kerry Schuss Gallery, New York (2021); and Mark Selwyn Fine Art, Los Angeles (2020, 2023)

Works by the artist are in the collections of the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; the Oakland Museum of California; the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, Richmond; the Jewish Museum, New York; the Morgan Library and Museum, New York; the Hammer Museum, Los Angeles; the Weatherspoon Art Museum, Greensboro, North Carolina; the American University Art Museum, Washington, D.C.; and those of many other distinguished institutions and  private individuals.
