The First Art Newspaper on the Net Established in 1996 Monday, September 23, 2024 Gerasimos Floratos' third solo exhibition with Almine Rech on view in Shanghai Installation view. SHANGHAI.- Almine Rech Shanghai announces Domes, Gerasimos Floratos’ third solo exhibition with the gallery, on view from September 6 to October 12, 2024. Welcome to pure hybridity, that exquisite oxymoron of honest contradiction at the heart of Gerasimos Floratos’s art. Here that which is essential, elemental, and primal collides in a chorus of the unexpected, singular truths belied by the lie of the multitude, authenticity earned like a scarred and battered street cred, the most direct mode of communication visual culture can afford turned like a wiener on a food cart by the hubbub of it all, heard above all the nonsense because it too is an anxious form of deep listening. His pictures are like the contemplation of an assault, the mark making of what leaves its mark but never signs its name, the self as reduced to an anonymous language of desperate gestures. In the city you can sleep through anything—screams, sirens and love ...

More Mother nature is his accomplice Gallery Wendi Norris now representing Enrique Martínez Celaya The Royal Academy of Arts opens the largest retrospective of Michael Craig-Martin RA's work In Ndife’s otherworldly domestic sculptures, nature shows its ungovernable power. (Vincent Tullo/The New York Times) NEW YORK, NY.- There wasn’t much free ground on which to stand in Brandon Ndife’s Brooklyn studio. Nearly every inch of the space had been swallowed up by a wild profusion of sculptures, which rose from the floor like a dense, unruly forest. The artworks heaved with his facsimiles of botanical life — tree trunks, branches, wheat, vines and vegetables. Twisting and torquing, this biotic matter appeared to be devouring the very things that it had emerged from: quotidian household objects and furniture. It was ... More Enrique Martínez Celaya, portrait by Kwaku Alston. Image courtesy of the artist's studio. SAN FRANCISCO, CA.- Gallery Wendi Norris announced its representation of acclaimed Cuban-born, American artist Enrique Martínez Celaya. Through his paintings, sculptures, installations, and writing, Martínez Celaya explores the exilic imagination, blending reality, myth, and memory to create poetic works that range from the semi-autobiographical to the resonantly universal. He describes his work as an open-ended, existential inquiry simultaneously addressing the "big gears of nature and the small gears of human experience." ...

He was 78. His death was announced on his website. ...

More The Appearance: Art of the Asian Diaspora in Latin America & the Caribbean More News Maria Prymachenko's paintings meet 20th-century works at Modern Museet Malmo MALMO.- Maria Prymachenko (1909–1997) is a central figure in Ukrainian art history, as one of the country’s most well-known and appreciated artists. Her stylized yet playful paintings have their origins in knowledge and traditions from embroidery and handicraft, which she expanded into her own distinctive world of motifs and expression. The nature around her, everyday life and celebrations, fairy tales and folk songs are part of Maria Prymachenko’s painted world, expressed in pictures and poetic titles that give an expanded meaning. The artist exhibited extensively and started an informal school. During Prymachenko’s lifetime, folk art was encouraged and used for various political purposes. After gaining attention and receiving an invitation to the experimental workshop in Kyiv’s city museum she met and worked with the artists of her time and increased ...

NEW YORK, NY.- In the early hours of Jan. 30, 2021, the visionary hyperpop producer Sophie was living in an apartment in Athens, Greece. To get a better view of the full moon, she climbed up a balcony, but slipped and fell. She was 34, and her death brought an outpouring of appreciation for the ways her sonic vocabulary — pointed, wriggly, blippy synthesizer tones and ultra-succinct hooks — had moved so quickly from pop’s experimental fringe to the mainstream. In Athens — and before that in Los Angeles and London — Sophie had been working on the successor to her 2018 album, “Oil of Every Pearl’s Un-Insides” and its 2019 remix LP. The new album was so close to completion that Sophie had chosen the full track list. Three years later, Benny Long, her brother and studio manager, has finished it, striving to honor Sophie’s ... More New York Philharmonic players reach deal raising base pay to $205,000 NEW YORK, NY.- The New York Philharmonic, the oldest orchestra in the United States, has long been one of the most revered. But in recent years, its musicians have been paid significantly less than their peers in Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles and elsewhere. That will soon change. Under a new labor contract announced Thursday, the Philharmonic’s musicians will get a raise of 30% over the next three years, bringing the base salary to $205,000. They will be among the highest paid orchestra musicians in the country. “It’s transformative,” said Colin Williams, the associate principal trombone, who helped lead the negotiations. “It speaks to the commitment from the Philharmonic’s leadership to making sure this place is really a destination orchestra.” The Philharmonic’s leaders praised the agreement, which the ensemble’s roughly 100 ... More 'A Face in the Crowd' isn't about Trump. It just seems like it. LONDON.- Stop me if you think you have heard this one before: A man gains television fame on the strength of his purported connection to everyday Americans and their resentment of elites, and before long he converts that fame into political influence in a right-wing presidential campaign. That is the rough outline of the 1957 film “A Face in the Crowd,” which featured a pre-sitcom Andy Griffith as Lonesome Rhodes, a wild-eyed, guitar-slinging hustler who is discovered in an Arkansas jail by an ambitious radio producer and becomes a national phenomenon — until a hot mic moment reveals his contempt for his fans and they abandon him. Written by Budd Schulberg, based on a short story he had written years earlier, and directed maximally by Elia Kazan, “A Face in the Crowd” was an outlandish but eerily plausible speculative satire ... More A (very) belated Donizetti premiere in South Africa CAPE TOWN.- “Could Donizetti ever have imagined that the world premiere of one of his operas would take place in Africa?” That’s the question Jeremy Silver, the director of Opera UCT, a student company from the University of Cape Town, posed to the audience before the first staged performance of “Dalinda” on Sept. 4. But here it was, an opera discovered just a few years earlier — presented not at an ornate European opera house but at the Baxter Theater, built in the 1970s, and performed by Opera UCT with a cast largely comprising Black singers and supertitles in English and IsiXhosa. The rediscovery of “Dalinda” is a musical detective story with its origins in Donizetti’s frustration at failing to get his opera “Lucrezia Borgia” past the censors in Naples, where he was resident at the Teatro di San Carlo. The composer of “Lucia di ...

More grazerkunstverein premieres of Josef Dabernig's latest film GRAZ.- Lacrimosa is an exhibition centered on the Austrian premiere of Josef Dabernig’s latest film, carrying the same name. The film portrays an unconventional farewell ritual led by Dabernig’s aunt, Anni Dabernig, who was an organist and teacher. Together with his grandchildren, she orchestrates a procession through her home in Kötschach-Mauthen, the Austrian village in which he grew up. At the center of this ceremony is a child-sized, enigmatic coffin whose journey through the house transforms both into silent protagonists. Folded hands, furtive glances, rosaries, and a commode chair are the elements of an eccentric children’s game in which the illustrious group navigates between intimidation, rebellion, and a dangerous staircase, all the while grappling with existential questions. In keeping with Dabernig’s practice of working closely ...
