Rebecca Bird's solo show "Women" is currently on view at Kopeikin Gallery, Los Angeles, through April 22, 2017. This exhibition marks Rebecca Bird’s fourth solo presentation with Kopeikin Gallery. This exhibition presents monumental scale paintings based off of photographic images of cross-generational women. The paintings are situated in allegorical juxtaposition to create a dialogue between tropes of womanhood and the act of posing for a photograph. The images typify the independent kind of historic record made possible by home photography, that made by families and individuals for their own purposes, to create a record of their existence and appearance. The scale of the works evokes the tradition of History Painting, reenactments of moments for the historic record, once considered the highest genre of painting based on the importance of the subject, the acts of great men. These works contrast with History Painting in that the moments depicted are mundane and the figures unknown.
Additional works in the exhibition explore the notion of Sigmund Freud's theory of Screen Memory, in which an individual's construction of a false memory or cover story is used to replace an anxiety producing memory. Screen Memory takes a double meaning in this presentation as it also refers to film, national and popular history superimposed over private or domestic history. The Screen Memory paintings are based off a photograph of a nuclear bomb test and in Bird’s work explosions represent immeasurable traumatic
experiences. Her process of recreating the image of nuclear bomb explosions multiple times implies the process of retelling and construction of memory into a Screen Memory.
Ernesto Morales' solo exhibition Aurum is currently on view (through May 14, 2017) at Area35 Gallery in MIlan. It features a selection of new works focused on the energy of cosmos and the relationship between the human being and the cosmos itself. The exhibited paintings represent a world that is at the same time realistic and irrational, suspended in a third dimension between the earth and the sky. The works contain a signifant use of gold, a color that Morales uses to reflect on the shining light that, in ancient cultures, was seen as a symbol of the earthly and celestial glory.
One of the most influential figures in modernist photography, the German-born, Brandt emigrated to London in 1934. Having studied in the studio of Man Ray in Paris before coming to England, Brandt’s photography revealed an eye for the surreal in everyday life. Brandt first came to attention for his Depression Era photographs of 20th century English life at both ends of the social spectrum, but he is best remembered for his iconic images of the nude from the 1950s. With the advent of the World War and the Blitz, Brandt photographed London in the blackout, and began his photojournalist career shooting for magazines including Lilliput, The Picture Post and Harper’s Bazaar, under the art direction of Alexey Brodovitch and Carmel Snow, the editor in chief.

Liene Bosque has been awarded one of the 2016 Emerging Artist Fellowships by the Socrates Sculpture Park, New York and she will be exhibiting Terracotta Impressions, 2016, a brick structure referencing elements of the historic New York Architectural Terra-Cotta Works building nearby on Vernon Boulevard. The artwork’s clay cladding bears imprints of local architectural features captured by the park visitors during performance walks that the artist led in the neighborhood during her residency.
MoMA PS1 presents the fourth iteration of its landmark exhibition series, begun as a collaboration with The Museum of Modern Art in 2000. Recurring every five years, the exhibition has traditionally showcased the work of emerging artists living and working in the New York metropolitan area. Greater New York arrives in a city and art community that has changed significantly since the first version of the survey. With the rise of a robust commercial art market and the proliferation of art fairs, opportunities for younger artists in the city have grown alongside a burgeoning interest in artists who may have been overlooked in the art histories of their time. Concurrently, the city itself is being reshaped by a voracious real estate market that poses particular challenges to local artists. The speed of this change in recent years has stoked a nostalgia for earlier periods in New York—notably the 1970s and 1980s, and the experimental practices and attitudes that flourished in the city during those decades. Against this backdrop, Greater New York departs from the show’s traditional focus on youth, instead examining points of connection and tension between our desire for the new and nostalgia for that which it displaces.
Bringing together emerging and more established artists, the exhibition occupies MoMA PS1’s entire building with over 400 works by 157 artists, including programs of film and performance. Greater New York is co-organized by a team led by Peter Eleey, Curator and Associate Director of Exhibitions and Programs, MoMA PS1; and including art historian Douglas Crimp, University of Rochester; Thomas J. Lax, Associate Curator, Department of Media and Performance Art, MoMA; and Mia Locks, Assistant Curator, MoMA PS1.
Considering the “greater” aspect of its title in terms of both geography and time, Greater New York begins roughly with the moment when MoMA PS1 was founded in 1976 as an alternative venue that took advantage of disused real estate, reaching back to artists who engaged the margins of the city. Together, the works in the exhibition employ a heterogeneous range of aesthetic strategies, often emphatically representing the city’s inhabitants through forms of bold figuration, and foregrounding New York itself as a location of conflict and possibility.

NEW YORK -- A series of seven stainless steel sculptures by a distinguished Amsterdam-based German artist Ewerdt Hilgemann will land on Park Avenue in New York on August 1, 2014. Entitled “Moments in a Stream,” Hilgemann’s installation will parade along the avenue in seven locations, from 52nd Street to 67th Street, with large-scale pieces—some in groups of two or more—placed on the grassy medians. The seven sculptures, ranging in size from 8 to 20 feet in height, were created especially for the Park Avenue installation using a unique vacuum process, which “implodes” geometric shapes causing the material to deform according to natural laws.
