The National Museum presents "Der Hund Erinnerung" by Markus Gutmann.

2012-01-26T00:21:00.002-08:00

The National Museum presents "Der Hund Erinnerung" by Markus Gutmann. The rare and strong showing of over a decade of drawings by the artist is on display until Saturday the 28th of January. The exhibition side steps much of the clichés of Berlins common art scene fodder and presents a sensitive and convincing installation of portraits by the artist of people he has met and known through the years. His perceptions are nuanced and varied, ranging from naive to classical depictions in a playful but serious pursuit. As in life, a hounds sense of smell can reveal far more than our limited sight. In a sense, the artist has looked at each "person" and revealed the individuals identity as few can. The artists hunt is complete.

The National Museum is located at Urbanstrasse 100 Berlin (Hinterhof)

Out and About with Julie: MLK Jr Day at the Corcoran Gallery of Art

2012-01-17T12:31:00.000-08:00

The Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, DC celebrated Martin Luther King Jr Day by opening on a Monday (when it is usually closed), so throngs of Washingtonians could enjoy free admission to three popular exhibitions: "30 Americans" (on view until February 12, 2012), "Hank Willis Thomas: Strange Fruit" and "Gordon Parks: Photographs from the Collection" (last day January 16, 2012).

The entrance hall staircase had that 'Sunday at the Met' feel (if you're a New Yorker):

At the top of the staircase, visitors were greeted by Nick Cave sculptures:

"30 Americans" displays artwork by 31 artists from the fabulous art collection of the Rubells. The exhibition originated in Miami in 2008 and will travel to several more museums. The title of the exhibition omits descriptive/hyphenated references to the artists' ethnic backgrounds and matter-of-factly declares that these artists are indeed "American," cleverly refusing to qualify the use of that term. The title also obliquely refers to the fact that race is a social construct in America.

These sculptures by Cave really caught people's eyes and looked great in the teal-blue room with paintings by Henry Taylor(l) and Jeff Sonhouse(r):

And with Barkley Hendricks' paintings:

In the next teal-blue room was an enormous Kehinde Wiley painting, of which you only see 1/4 here:

With some iona rozeal brown paintings and another Nick Cave sculpture:

and Mickalene Thomas, where a lively, even fiesty, discussion was taking place between the docent and some very engaged viewers:

Did I mention how popular it was to be at the Corcoran on January 16, 2012?

People were crowded around the monitor displaying Kalup Linzy's video:

And this wall sculpture of carpeting by Rodney McMillian:

Hank Willis Thomas was also among the artists in "30 Americans":

and at the same time had his own impressive exhibition, "Hank Willis Thomas: Strange Fruit":

The small "Gordon Parks: Photographs from the Collection" exhibition was full of gems. One of his most famous images portrays government cleaning woman Ella Watson in 1942:

Gordon Parks is simply an amazing human being. I saw Half Past Autumn in 2000, where he tells how he'd been a Pullman porter in the 1930s and bought a camera from a pawnshop. The 15th child of a poverty-stricken farmer from Fort Scott, Kansas, he described how he had become first, a fashion photographer, and then staff photographer at Life magazine, by having the nerve to want something different and to ask people for a chance.

The exhibition included photos of Red Jackson and his Harlem gang members, which had originally been published in Life magazine's "Harlem Gang Leader" article from 1948.

Of all the images in the Parks exhibition, I was most mesmerized by Willie Causey's Son with Gun During Racial Violence in Alabama, 1956:

The teen-aged boy sits barefooted in a tilted-back chair, apparently in a doorway, looking down pensively at his gun. In the background are other children in clean clothes, reading on a bed in a tidy room.

The compelling image made me research what specifically was happening in Alabama in 1956 involving the Causey family, for this young boy to be sitting with a gun, ready to protect his siblings. I found the original articles in Life Magazine with photography by Parks. The first one, dated September 24, 1956, is "The Restraints: Open and Hidden; Both are Seen in the Study of One Negro Family," featuring the Thornton family of Choctaw County in Alabama and including images of Willie Causey, who had had only one year of school but was a relatively successful and prosperous woodcutter and farmer. His schoolteacher wife was educated and a daughter of the Thorntons. She is quoted in the article saying that integration was necessary for racial justice in America, showing how her classroom had almost no books for her black students. The comments by Mrs. Causey (and probably the images of the Causey family's success) so enraged the local white residents that they threatened the Causey family and forced them to leave, abandoning their home and relatives. Life magazine reported in "A Sequal to Segregation" on December 10, 1956 that the family had left the County.

Out and About with Julie: (e)merge art fair

2011-10-11T14:38:00.000-07:00

(e)merge art fair

Capitol Skyline Hotel, Washington, DC

September 22 - 25, 2011

I visited the inaugural (e)merge art fair in DC recently, taking along my trusty Carrie Chatterson Studio totebag. A big thanks to artist/curator Jose Ruiz for showing me around.

The underground parking lot had been converted into a fun, free-wheeling display space for installations and performances.

ArtWhino featured installations by Angry Woebots:

and Pixel Pancho:

and J*RYU (here, with one of his sculptures in front of a specially painted mural for his space):

Detail of J*RYU's sculpture

Installation and performance, "The Queen's Game," by Copy Cat Theater involved a red shack with cut out picture-frame windows so you could peer inside at the performance:

I had caught the attention of the performer here and he started eerily following me around, trying to tell me something:

In Nathan Manuel + D. Billy's installation, people could go into their shack and sing karaoke under the disco ball:

Calder Brannock and his Camper Contemporary installation and performance:

Forest Z Allread's installations were called Black Betty (detail):

and Monster Mash (detail):

Upstairs, the hotel rooms served as booths for galleries and non-profit art spaces. Lisa Gold, Executive Director of Washington Project for the Arts, in her booth:

Flashpoint Gallery of Cultural Development Corporation presented Kenny George's vintage video game room installation, which was a veritable dork playground!:

Flashpoint also featured Lisa Dillin's canopy sculpture installation over the bed in another room (detail):

Becky Flanders at Mindy Solomon Gallery booth:

Jeremy Flick's "Talkin' Bout a Revolution" is a print project reproducing the design from inside of bill pay envelopes. He wallpapered the walls of the hotel's gym with these prints. Thanks to Jeremy, I'll think of Tracy Chapman's song and the Wall Street Occupation while I pay my credit card bills. Detail image:

Patrick McDonough's sculpture installation out by the pool:

On Saturday night, there was a block party hosted by G Fine Art, Industry Gallery and Conner Contemporary Art. Here's artist Jeremy Haik with CCS totebag:

During the block party, there was an Andy Warhol photobooth at Conner Contemporary where we donned "Warhol" wigs for photos, and Leigh Conner was nice enough to help us get these taken:

Greater L.A.

2011-05-13T10:03:00.000-07:00

Opening Sunday May 15th.

From GRLA wedsite:

"Greater LA is the first ever survey to take place in New York of art being made in Los Angeles right now, and its massive – but sometimes under-acknowledged – impact on the global stage. Filling a large industrial loft space in the heart of SoHo, Greater LA gathers the work of over 50 Los Angeles based artists who are setting the agenda for conversations about contemporary cultural production around the world. Far from being a comprehensive view, Greater LA aims to be a selection of work as varied and idiosyncratic as the landscape from which it emerges. Greater LA makes an argument for the vitality and urgency of art made in and influenced by the largest city on the Western coast of North America."

The Working Title @ Bronx River Art Center

2011-05-02T09:59:00.000-07:00

Last week marked the end of The Working Title, A 32-artist group survey of recent abstraction at the Bronx River Art Center organized by Progress Report.

A 92-page full color catalog of the show with essays by artist Shirley Kaneda and independent curator Jon Lutz is now available on Blurb.

View the full post on Progress Report.

Progress Report, born out of the more casual artist posts presented on KCLOG, was founded just over a year ago. It is a visually-driven project dedicated to artist features, studio visits and is intended as a general curatorial resource.

Progress Report aims to allow the categories of art-making to fall by the wayside by presenting a glimpse of the creative process that offer various perspectives with open-ended possibilities from the working artist’s point of view.
