An Incomplete History of Printed Matter’s Art Book Fairs

October 13 – October 29

Hauser & Wirth, 542 W 22nd Street, 2nd fl.

Opening Reception: Thursday, October 13, 6-8 pm

An Incomplete History of Printed Matter’s Art Book Fairs, organized by Darling Green and produced in partnership with Hauser & Wirth Publishers, opens alongside this year’s NY Art Book Fair. Join us for a public reception in the exhibition space to coincide with NYABF Opening Night. On view Fair weekend and through Oct 29.

An Incomplete History assembles a chorus of personal anecdotes, conversations, documentation, print materials and ephemera to give a layered narrative account of the NY and LA Art Book Fairs since their founding. With materials drawn from the Printed Matter archives, newly-conducted interviews with current and past exhibitors, and a public call for submissions, the presentation will unfold as a non-linear survey and composite oral history of the ever-evolving event.

Founded in 2006 by then Printed Matter Director AA Bronson, the NY Art Book Fair was initiated as a new platform for artists, publishers and artists’ book enthusiasts, not only for the distribution of publications but as a space for community building and the circulation of ideas. With the addition of a second Fair in Los Angeles in 2014, the event grew in scale to include hundreds of additional exhibitors from across the globe with audiences numbering in the tens of thousands. This year’s Fair returns to the original location of the NY event, and provides an opportunity to reflect on the evolution and impact of Printed Matter’s Art Book Fairs. An Incomplete History will assemble a chorus of personal anecdotes, conversations, documentation, print materials and ephemera to give a layered narrative account of the NY and LA Art Book Fairs since their founding. With materials drawn from the Printed Matter archives and gathered through an open call for submissions, the presentation will unfold as a non-linear survey and composite oral history of the ever-evolving event.

As a key piece of the project, a series of newly-conducted interviews and conversations with current and past exhibitors, including Harley Spiller, Ken Dewey Director of Franklin Furnace Archive, will shed light on the individual experiences that make up the collective history and life of the Fair. The project brings together these many voices to consider the Art Book Fairs as a site of dialogue, exchange and collaboration, while also exploring their influential role within the landscape of experimental art and artists’ book publishing.

The exhibition project will be followed by a new print publication (Spring, 2023), published by Printed Matter and edited by Darling Green, with design by Garrick Gott and the support of Contributing Editor Lillian Wilkie.

4. LAPD, FF Alumns, in General Jeff Memorial, Gladys Park, Los Angeles, CA, Oct. 29-30

13th Festival For All Skid Row Artists

Saturday and Sunday, October 29 & 30, 2022

Each day from 12 Noon to 4 PM

In General Jeff Memorial / Gladys Park

808 E 6th St. Los Angeles, CA 90021.

The Los Angeles Poverty Department (LAPD) presents the 13th annual Festival for All Skid Row Artists on Saturday and Sunday, October 29 and 30, from 12–4pm each day. We’re back, we’re Back, we’re back. Two days, live non-stop performance, visual art, and participatory art workshops, for everyone. 

The Festival for All Skid Row Artists is a two-day festival of performing and visual art with plenty of music, showcasing the diverse range of talents among Skid Row residents. Taking place in General Jeff Memorial Park / Gladys Park (corner of 6th Street and Gladys Avenue), the festival has become one of the most anticipated grassroots cultural events in Skid Row where over 150 Skid Row Artists perform or display their artwork to enthusiastic audiences. Many will be back and are preparing their acts and works of art, and thanks to extensive street outreach, many people will get on-stage for the very first time and get in the mix of the vibrant Skid Row artistic culture.

Festival attendees are invited to participate in a range of artist facilitated workshops and creativity stations. Visual arts workshops will be offered by Studio 526, Creative I, Piece by Piece, and Doodles Without Borders. Jen Hofer will lead poetry workshops and there will be a woodworking workshop by Would Works. (Would Works trains people who are experiencing homelessness and poverty in basic woodworking skills and gives them an opportunity to work towards an immediate financial goal without compromising their benefits). 

Community groups will be there to encourage engagement and advance the quality of life in the Skid Row community. With the new Downtown Community Plan heading to City Council, Skid Row Now & 2040, a coalition of community members and groups, will be there to share their policy paper, The Green Paper, a vision for a Skid Row future without displacement and with housing for area residents now on the streets. The arts and harm reduction group, The Sidewalk Project will offer Narcan trainings.

Los Angeles Poverty Department celebrates and preserves the rich artistic heritage of Skid Row and beginning with the first Festival in 2009 has generated a registry of Skid Row artists, which now numbers more than 900.

The 13th Festival for All Skid Row Artists is produced by Los Angeles Poverty Department and is made possible with the support of The Kindle Project of the Common Counsel Foundation; the City of Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs; the Los Angeles County Department of Arts and Culture; The Downtown Los Angeles Neighborhood Council; Kevin DeLeon, CD 14; the City of Los Angeles Department of Recreation and Parks and United Coalition East Prevention Project, (UCEPP).

7. Nile Harris, FF Alumn, at Judson Memorial Church, Manhattan, Oct. 17

Hi there, 

I would love for you to join me for a presentation of an excerpt of an unfinished play ‘the worst is yet to come (?)’ at Judson Memorial Church on Oct 17th at 7PM. 

I’ll be performing in collaboration with some amazing folks: Malcolm-x Betts, Crackhead Barney, Cricket Brown, Brandi Mickinnon, Tony Jenkins, Trevor Handsome, Akeema Zane, and Geng Grizzly 

‘the worst is yet to come (?)’ is an illustrated lecture about absence, abjection, and American nationalism. It’s a lecture, or maybe it’s a rant (I promise there will also be dance) that poses a rhetorical insurrection of the priorities of neoliberalism and pays homage to the memory of a friend gone too soon.

Blessings,

Nile

15. Cassils, FF Alumn, fall news

This October, Cassils will launch two National Premieres of their new performance Human Measure. Also included is a complete listing of current exhibitions, upcoming talks, press, recent acquisitions and announcing Cassils new position as Associate Professor in Sculpture and Integrated Practices, in the School of Fine Arts at PRATT University.

Against an unprecedented backdrop of US-based anti-trans legislation HUMAN MEASURE asks: how do we manifest empowerment, sensuality, and self-actualization in a society that actively tries to erase us? Insisting upon plurality and avoiding legibility, HUMAN MEASURE straddles dance and the history of photography. Purposefully designed to be difficult to see, the work is staged in the low levels of red light found in photographic darkrooms.

With movement rooted in kinesiology, martial arts, sports science, and personal safety protocols, Cassils reinterprets Yves Klein’s process of making his Anthropometries paintings of the early 1960s. Whereas the models in Klein’s original works acted as passive “human paintbrushes,” daubed in his trademark International Klein Blue, the performers in Human Measure wield the double-edged sword of representation in a collective process of empowered labor.

Cassils is Associate Professor of Sculpture and Integrated Practices in the School of Fine Art at PRATT.

Michelle Stuart to receive 2022 Francis J. Greenburger Award by Art Omi

The Francis J. Greenburger Awards

Wednesday, October 12, 2022, 6 – 8 pm

The New Museum

This event is free with RSVP: greenburgerawards@timeequities.com

Since 1986, Art Omi has awarded this prestigious prize to 60 artists. In addition to Michelle Stuart, this year's recipients include Faith Ringgold, Luis Camnitzer, Jessica Rankin and Anita Fields. The Francis J. Greenburger Award honors established artists whom the art world knows to be of extraordinary merit but who have not been fully recognized by the public.

“It is a privilege to recognize these extraordinary artists, who for one reason or another have not been fully appreciated by the world at large,” stated Francis Greenburger, founder of Art Omi and Chairman & CEO of the prominent NYC real estate firm Time Equities, Inc. “In establishing these awards, we created a platform that brings together members of the art world and the public, to properly declare our support and admiration for these artists’ contributions.”

Francis J. Greenburger established the awards in 1986 after a conversation with his friends, André Emmerich and Clement Greenberg, during which André said, “The best and brightest artist of each generation are known, but not to everyone. Ask the inner circle and they can tell you.” This statement is the founding principle of the Francis J. Greenburger Awards. Mr. Greenburger has invited a renowned artist, gallerist, writer, museum professional, and collector to each select one recipient whom they believe to fulfill the mission of the award. This year’s distinguished group of artists are presented by Ariel Aisiks, Julie Mehretu, Brooke Kamin Rapaport, Seph Rodney, and Mary Sabbatino.

21. Morgan O’Hara, FF Alumn, at Anita Rogers Gallery, Manhattan, Oct. 19 – Nov. 23

 Morgan O’Hara

LIVE TRANSMISSIONS OF PERFORMING MUSICIANS

October 19 – November 23, 2022

Anita Rogers Gallery presents for the first time ever a solo show of Morgan O’Hara’s LIVE TRANSMISSION drawings of the movement of musicians in performance. Meeting John Cage in Los Angeles in 1961 when she was a 20-year-old art student opened the door to O’Hara’s enjoyment and appreciation of contemporary / new music. Cage’s book SILENCE: Lectures and Writings by John Cage was published that same year by Wesleyan University Press and

provided context, starting a life-long influence on both the thinking and art process of O’Hara’s Life-Based Conceptual Art.

Of the roughly 3500 drawings in O’Hara’s LIVE TRANSMISSION series, approximately 1/4 have been made by tracking the movement of the hands of musicians in rehearsal and performance. Soloists, duets, ensembles, orchestras, technicians working to create ethnic, classical, contemporary, pop, jazz and rock music make up the series.

O’Hara’s new website – active since October 2021 – is set up as an archive. There you will find several editions dedicated to honoring John Cage: balsa wood DISCS with questions from Silence drawn in graphite on an undercoat of orange calligraphers’ ink; and a series of 100 ink drawings of EARS on paper, done for the centennial of Cage’s birth, each with a quotation from his writings written across the bottom and up the right side of each paper. This exhibition includes a selection of LIVE TRANSMISSIONS of musical performances the artist has attended over the last 30 years, including those by Anthony Braxton, Margaret Leng Tan, Aki Takahashi, K.D. Lang, John Adams and many others in cities and performance halls across the world. The exhibition will be on view October 19 through November 23 at 494 Greenwich Street in New York City. On Wednesday, October 19, 6-8pm, the gallery will host an opening reception with the artist; at 7pm on the evening of the reception, there will be a LIVE TRANSMISSION performance with Morgan O’Hara and percussionist Kevin Norton.

The gallery thanks Mitchell Algus for his assistance with curation of the exhibition.

For further information and photographs, please contact Elizabeth Thompson at elizabeth.thompson@anitarogersgallery.com, or call 347.604.2346. 

The gallery is open Tuesday through Saturday 10am – 6pm.

Right Time | Right Place | a conversation

Austrian Cultural Forum New York

Tue 11th October 2022, 7pm

Melanie Kress, Associate Curator at High Line

in conversation with

Katharina Gruzei, artist-curator of Right Time, Right Place

Ysabel Pinyol-Blasi, Executive director & curator at Monira Foundation

and participating artists 

Eginhartz Kanter, Ann Messner, Nancy Nowacek, and Stefanos Tsivopoulos. 

This talk is hosted in the framework of Right Time, Right Place – an exhibition at Mana Contemporary examining the ways in which public space has become a highly contested territory in the past decades. It is centered around artistic strategies for working with the layered meanings, realities, and possibilities of the public space. Ann Messner presents a selection of artworks realized in NYC since the 1970s. Eginhartz Kanter introduces the “Sculpture Park West”, an art project in Linz, Austria where artworks were informally installed on a traffic island between Highways. Nancy Nowacek gives an insight to a decade-long engagement with urban waterways, whereas Stefanos Tsivopoulos’s artwork “One Step Forward Two Steps Back – The White House”, will be screened as part of the talk.

In 2020, artist-curator Katharina Gruzei convened a group of Austria- and New York-based artists virtually to exchange ideas about working in the public realm. 2022 brings them together to make works in the public space of New York City. Their exchanges and creative acts culminate in Right Time, Right Place, a multi-generational exhibition. Katharina Gruzei gathers these specially commissioned pieces with existing artworks in this group show of emerging and established artists, hosted by Ysabel Pinyol-Blasi and the Monira Foundation at Mana Contemporary, New Jersey.

27. Amy Khoshbin, FF Alumn, at The Arts Center at Governors Island, NYC, Oct. 14-30

Sun Seekers, created by sisters Amy Khoshbin and Jennifer Khoshbin, is a site-specific, interactive exhibition inspired by a sci-fi narrative that imagines and embodies an alternate world maintaining a direct correlation to our experience of indoor onscreen life (the Wreck-tangle world) – a world where we detach from our cell phones, heal our bodies, and reconnect with the sun and natural world.

Installation pieces drawing from Iranian Sun Worship practices include symbolic imagery and references to the cyclical nature of time and rebirth through immersion in the sun and the environment.

Visitors are invited to engage physically with the art, where they can experience entering a 9’ sun womb, wearing weighted capes, rocking in a chair that generates music with each movement, and reclining on a scented bed in the shape of a vagina, among other tactile experiences.

Drawing from the Khoshbin’s experiences of being tethered to digital devices, particularly during the pandemic, the Sun Seekers’ world interweaves performance, mythology, and immersive environments to provides opportunities for healing from the modern condition.

The Sun Seekers exhibition can be experienced at The Arts Center at Governors Island, now through October 30.

Friday–Sunday, 12–6pm or by appointment

RSVP here. Free and open to all.

Sun Seekers Induction Ceremonies—live performances at 3pm on October 15 at The Oculus at The World Trade Center and October 16 at The Arts Center at Governors Island—accompany the exhibition, providing audiences with an opportunity to learn the origin story of how the Seekers began, participate in object-making, and activate their senses with durational technology-free somatic experiences both inside the installation and outside in the sun.
