Carla Accardi, Trasparente, 1975.
PARIS.- Light found a new media: sicofoil and fluorescent colors. The painting no longer existed, because I made its structure visible, and made my signs anonymous -Carla Accardi, Flash Art, 1989. With these words, Carla Accardi (1914 2014) discusses her choice of sicofoil, a malleable and transparent plastic material, as both subject and matter of her work. Delving further and further in her exploration of the representation of light, from the late 1960s until the mid 1980's, Accardi rejected the use of canvas to privilege instead the use of sicofoil to create both bi-dimensional works and sculptures.

Patricia Waller joins C24 GalleryNEW YORK, NY.- C24 Gallery announced that they are now representing Berlin-based artist Patricia Waller in the United States and Turkey. Well known for her colorful crocheted works that deliver serious messages about violence and abuse via a medium that is more commonly associated with comfort, Chilean-born Waller has made a decades-long career of responding to the growing acceptance of violence in the world as well as satirizing and playing with cultural mythologies and norms. Confronting bloody realities with a vicious sense of irony, Waller creates handcrafted wool objects that play with well known symbols of innocence, causing us to reconsider how we deal with our fears and our ability to address or repress them. By subverting traditional uses of a familiar material, her bold and graphic work serves as a wake up call ...

More Entertainment, ecstasy and the exercise of power are interwoven in Pauline Curnier Jardin's worksHELSINKI.- French artist Pauline Curnier Jardins (b. 1980) first solo exhibition in Finland transforms Kiasmas exhibition space into a grotesque theme park.

What might Christian rituals, sex work and aging look like to them? Curnier Jardin and set designer Rachel GarcÃa have together created carnivalistic backdrops for the exhibition their colours and lights draw us in. The soundscape created for the occasion generates an amusement park-like atmosphere. But, both the scenography and the sound warn us that something more ambiguous is about to emerge. The installations serve as stages for films in which entertainment and violence are intertwined. Here, the womens ...

This is the artists sixteenth solo exhibition with Hirschl & Adler Modern, marking nearly forty years of representation with the gallery. Moores is a unique brand of realism infused with artifice.
