Mike Weiss Gallery-Stefani Gutheil

Stefani Gutheil
Kopftheater
January 14-February 20,2010

From the exhibit information: Mike Weiss Gallery presents Kopftheater, a new exhibition of paintings by Berlin based artist Stefanie Gutheil. This is the artist’s first exhibition in New York and at Mike Weiss Gallery. Stefanie’s bold, multi-dimensional paintings are tactile depictions of her own life. The patterns of unexpected fabrics and aluminum foil adhere to the oils, acrylics and spray paint applied to the surface and come together to form scenes from the artist’s excessive imagination, both playful and grotesque. Her paintings provide the cast and set for her own kopf theater, or theatre of the mind.

Alexander Gray Associates: J. Morgan Puett {of, with, as, for, them, and, it} Workstylings

6 January - 6 February 2010
In the gallery space, Puett has installed a moving platform of burnt wood and steel, on which a tableau of personal artifacts and research materials are gathered: books, sewing machines, measuring tools, antique textiles, benches, chairs, shelves and surfaces. Within this dynamic apparatus, Puett will conduct further research and dialogue with invited participants from a range of fields including artists, designers, performers, scientists, academics, business leaders and journalists. The installation will change daily, as emotions, stories, objects and texts are considered and arranged by Puett and the participants; this approach reflects Puett’s commitment to community activity, shared experience, and exchanged labor.

Conversations taking place within this architecture will inform Puett’s on-going investigations on the history and changing frameworks of fashion and retail; the result, at the end of the gallery presentation, will be a new clothing system, patterns for these clothes, and fabric-based artworks incorporating algorithms developed in the process. Following the presentation at Alexander Gray Associates, this evolving project will take place at the Queens Museum of Art with support from the Smithsonian Institution’s Artist Research Fellowship Program.

Andrea Meislin Gallery: Judith Fox: I Still Do

Judith Fox
I STILL DO... LOVING AND LIVING WITH ALZHEIMER'S

JANUARY 9 - FEBRUARY 6, 2010

Three years into their marriage, Judith Fox's husband, Dr. Edmund Ackell, was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. Over the course of the next ten years, Fox watched as the man who used to perform surgery, fly planes, and run universities, forgot how to turn on the coffee maker, place a phone call, or remember what his wife had told him two minutes earlier. Fox dedicates this book to other caregivers in an effort to reduce their sense of isolation, and to help de-stigmatize the disease.

GALLERY 1: Jeffrey Vallance - Relics and Reliquaries
Project Space: Mark Dion-Travels of William Bartram - Reconsidered
Gallery 2: Strange Travelers, curated by Mark Dion

9 Jan 2010 - 6 Feb 2010


Highly recommended shows! I especially like Mark Dion's Travels of William Dartram show. Imagine visiting a natural historian's house & go through all of his drawers!!! The Jeffrey Vallance's show is also a lot of fun. He collected random stuffs that has personal meaning to him. The objects are accompanied by his personal stories, some of them are rather interesting, FBI involved.
