Neil Winokur, Bok Choy.

NEW YORK, NY.- Janet Borden, Inc. opened Neil Winokur: Produce, a new exhibition of photographs by this master of the irreducible. The exhibition runs from 11 September – 20 October 2021. Neil Winokur, who is widely known for his deadpan rendering of dogs, people, and pets, has turned his attention to fruits and vegetables. Begun during quarantine, these are luscious portraits of humble forms. Although free of irony, the images evince a playfulness as well. They are seductive without being sentimental, illustrative not metaphorical. The straightforward pose of the object against a brilliantly monochromatic color background is Winokur's signature style. Using gels in addition to color backdrops, Winokur charms more light and more intense hues that usually seen. This gives the subjects their iconic look. Even mushrooms are seductively attractive. Each print bursts with hyper-saturated color. Fennel fronds are gently articulated against an ... More

NEW YORK, NY.- In July 2018, Hugh Willmott was overseeing the excavation of an Anglo-Saxon burial site in northeast England when a regional preservation official told him about a potentially more exciting find. Just down the road, at Tetney Golf Club, a local golf course, workers digging in a small pond with a giant excavator had hit something extremely unexpected: a prehistoric coffin containing the skeletal remains of a man. When Willmott, an archaeologist and senior lecturer at the University of Sheffield, arrived at the golf course the next day, he found a scene that he said could only be described as “a mess.” Ten to 12 feet underground, the crew had discovered a waterlogged burial site and an exposed coffin broken in pieces. ...

CONCORD, MASS.- Lucy Lacoste Gallery who has shown the internationally renowned ceramic sculptor Arnie Zimmerman several times over the years, announced with sadness the passing of the sculptor at his home in Hastings New York on July 29, 2021. He was 67. Three of Zimmerman’s works were featured prominently in the recently acclaimed ceramic exhibition at the Metropolitan Art Museum: Shapes out of Nowhere from the Robert Ellison collection. Altogether the Metropolitan acquired a total of eight sculptures by the artist through this Collection. Zimmerman received his MFA form Alfred University and his BFA from the Kansas City Art institute. Originally drawn to the making of pots for the sake of their simplicity, Zimmerman then trained as a stone carver in France. This led to his prominence in the mid 1980’s with large scale carved vessels resembling giant totems, such as one over eight feet tall found in the collection of the Honolulu Mus ... More

BRUSSELS.- Xavier Hufkens announced Huma Bhabha’s (b. 1962) first solo exhibition with the gallery. Featuring new sculptures and drawings, The Setup presents an overview of the visual and material language that the artist has been developing for over three decades. Bhabha’s sculptures are informed by a myriad of cultural references and executed in an equally diverse range of materials, processes and techniques. She is known for her evocative assemblages crafted from modest and unconventional materials (clay, Styrofoam, wood, wire, plaster, jute, paint) and for her powerful, totemic figures in materials such as cork or bronze. In parallel, Bhabha also creates complex, multi-layered works on paper in which the fearsome and the strange are rendered penetrating and beautiful. The exhibition brings together these various strands of Bhabha’s oeuvre in an installation that plays ... More

NEW YORK, NY.- What happens when you combine the cinema of Wes Anderson with a charming, historic French city? You get a stylized version of France that highlights the director’s whimsical passions — like centuries-old buildings reframed in symmetric picture-book ways and neighborhoods accented with quaint and colorful accessories. “The French Dispatch” is Anderson’s ode to journalism, French cinema and the magic found while winding through the country’s cobblestone streets. It is heavily peppered with distinct, fussed-over design elements that both celebrate and heighten its French aesthetic. The movie, which is scheduled to be released in theaters on Oct. 22, focuses on an American magazine that is published in the ... More

LONDON.- Bonhams is teaming up with The Connor Brothers for an exclusive charity auction of 11 new works. Created in celebration of the 30th anniversary of The Big Issue, the duo will offer 11 specially created works as part of Bonhams Prints and Multiples sale on 22 September in Knightsbridge. The works, which include Normal Is The Cruelest of All Insults, and Tell Me Beautiful Untrue Things, have individual estimates of £3,000 - 5,000 (each to be sold with no reserve). All profits will be donated to The Big Issue, UK. Speaking of the collaboration, The Connor Brothers said: “Coming back into the world, it feels like a lot has changed. One thing we’ve noticed is the high streets are noticeably quieter than they were pre-lockdown. This might be nice for shoppers, but it’s pretty catastrophic for Big Issue vendors, who rely for their income on passers-by buying the magazine. "For 30 years the Big Issue has provided a ‘hand ...

NEW YORK, NY.- Pace Gallery is presenting Convergent Evolutions: The Conscious of Body Work, an exhibition curated by Online Sales Director Christiana Ine-Kimba Boyle and on view in New York from September 10 to October 23, 2021. The exhibition explores how intergenerational artists have used various instruments within their practices to grant or deny viewers the agency of viewership while also surveying the body’s response to the visual plane. Central to the presentation are the artists’ abilities to manipulate the ways that viewers interact with and experience their works. The show takes its title from a scientific term that refers to the development of similar traits in species belonging to different time periods. The exhibition marks Boyle’s major curatorial debut at Pace. Since joining the gallery in May 2021, Boyle has spearheaded Pace’s growing NFT program. Among ... More

Nino Castelnuovo, 'The Umbrellas of Cherbourg' star, dies at 84
NEW YORK, NY.- Nino Castelnuovo, a popular Italian film and television actor who found success beyond his home country when he starred alongside Catherine Deneuve in the soaringly sentimental French new wave musical “The Umbrellas of Cherbourg,” died Sept. 6 in Rome. He was 84. His death, in a hospital, was confirmed by his representative, Simone Oppi. Castelnuovo, who brought an incandescent charm to the screen, became a star during a golden age of Italian cinema. He collaborated with leading directors such as Luchino Visconti and Vittorio De Sica and acted alongside greats such as Alberto Sordi and Claudia Cardinale. If he achieved international notice with “Umbrellas,” he did not truly attain fame in Italy until 1967, for his role as Renzo in a television series based on Alessandro Manzoni’s 1827 literary epic, “The Betrothed,” which takes place during a plague in the ...

Review: Passion Fruit Dance Company brings the club to the stage
NEW YORK, NY.- As they have been doing regularly since the start of the pandemic, the father-son DJ duo known as St. James Joy got the party started right, this time at the BRIC Celebrate Brooklyn! Festival on Friday evening. Then DJ Pfunk and house producer Saadiq Bolden shook the newly renamed Lena Horne Bandshell, with some stronger sounds and enough bass to make even seated bodies vibrate. The atmosphere of a dance club was taken outside mostly intact. All this, though, was preshow. The main event was a performance by the up-and-coming Passion Fruit Dance Company, which is dedicated to transferring the dance and culture of house and hip-hop from the club to the stage. And something about this transfer felt blocked, incomplete, trapped. “Trapped,” in fact, was the title of the work, a premiere. The skilled dancers began encased in cocoons of stretchy ... More

How surreal! How radical! How avant-garde! How Broadway?
NEW YORK, NY.- Among the 21 returning and 19 new productions scheduled to begin performances on Broadway before the end of the year, the seven plays written by Black playwrights have received the most attention. And rightly so: It’s long past time that the commercial theater paid more than lip service to representation and inclusion. But another change is also happening on Broadway, this one about genre and provenance instead of authorship and inclusion. An unusually large proportion of the 10 plays opening this fall are what one producer calls “formally inventive” and what others might label downtown, avant-garde, experimental or (that dread word) challenging. Three of the most prominent — “Is This a Room,” “Dana H.” and “Pass Over” — come from off-Broadway and off-off-Broadway theaters. That is not in itself so odd; the noncommercial world has fed the commercial ... More

Curtains up! How Broadway is coming back from its longest shutdown.
NEW YORK, NY.- Broadway is back. Or so it hopes. A year and a half after the coronavirus pandemic forced all 41 theaters to go dark, silencing a symbol of New York and throwing thousands out of work, some of the industry’s biggest and best known shows are resuming performances on Tuesday. Simba will reclaim the Pride Lands in the “The Lion King.” Elphaba and Glinda will return to Oz in “Wicked.” A young, scrappy and hungry immigrant will foment revolution in “Hamilton.” The long-running revival of “Chicago” will give ‘em the old razzle dazzle. Plus there’s one new production, the childhood reminiscence “Lackawanna Blues,” offering a reminder that Broadway still provides a home for plays, too. Broadway’s reopening is a high-stakes gamble that theater lovers, culture vultures and screen-weary adventurers are ready to return — vaccinated and masked — to these storied ... More

The New Art Centre opens an exhibition of work by Edward Allington and Nika Neelova
SALISBURY.- The New Art Centre opened One of Many Fragments – an exhibition of work by Edward Allington and his former student at Slade School of Fine Art in London, Nika Neelova. Inspired by architectural details and artefacts, both artists reimagine objects and visual qualities that have been so commonly used they are now overlooked. Where Allington plays with the replication of classical designs and motifs, Neelova repurposes materials to create new forms. Edward Allington (1951 – 2017) is known for his experimental approach to sculpture and was a central figure in the ‘New British Sculpture’ movement of the 1980s, alongside contemporaries such as Antony Gormley and Richard Deacon. His work is characterised by the stylistic influences of classical architectural forms and his sculpture often features fragments of columns, pediments and cornices with classical ... More

In this latest exhibition she brings together five different porcelain clay bodies; using her handmade ... More

Workplace opens an exhibition of new multi-media and installation works by Simeon Barclay
LONDON.- Workplace is presenting England's Lost Camelot, an exhibition of new multi-media and installation works by British artist Simeon Barclay. England's Lost Camelot is Barclay’s first solo show with Workplace and opened this September at the gallery's West End location. The exhibition takes as its starting point the legacy of the gallant knight, examining the persistence of its associated iconography in British folklore and its lasting influence in the construction of still prevalent ideas of masculinity. Combining research of this medieval legend with reference to popular culture and his personal biography, Barclay continues to explore the contestation, and strategic negotiation of cultural narratives that influence our behaviour and conformity to archetypes. The installation elements, which surround the works in the exhibition, feature artefacts and images borrowed from ... More

On a day like today, Italian architect Renzo Piano was born
September 14, 1937. Renzo Piano, Ufficiale OMRI (born 14 September 1937 in Genoa) is an Italian Pritzker Prize-winning architect. Architecture critic Nicolai Ouroussoff said of Piano's works that the "...serenity of his best buildings can almost make you believe that we live in a civilized world." In 2006, Piano was selected by TIME as one of the 100 most influential people in the world. He was selected as the 10th most influential person in the "Arts and Entertainment" category of the 2006 Time 100.
