Locks Gallery presents Louise Fishman: Soliloquy, which marks the late artist’s second solo exhibition with the gallery. The show features paintings from the past twenty years, which highlight several important canvases and drawings made surrounding her third, and final, residency in Venice, Italy from 2016 to 2017.

LOUISE FISHMAN’s (1939–2021) paintings are layered upon an improvised structural grid assembled out of strokes, skeins, and slashes of oil paint, applied with large serrated trowels and scrapers, along with more traditional paint brushes—and sometimes, her hands. Her dynamic surfaces are often intensified by their scale, she excelled at working big and many of her canvases measure over seven feet. While her work is rooted in the AbEx tradition celebrating process and materiality, Louise Fishman always drew upon personal experience informed by her identity as a Jewish, lesbian feminist.

Louise Fishman embarked on several residencies at the Emily Harvey Foundation in Venice: during the Fall of 2011 and 2013, and at the end of 2016, and many of her works from the past decade were inspired by these periods. Louise Fishman had a deep understanding and appreciation of art history, from her family background (her mother and aunt were both artists and studied at the Barnes Foundation), and her education at Tyler School of Art in Philadelphia, and University of Illinois in Champaign. Being in Venice was a powerful experience. She highly anticipated it (for years, due to it being postponed several times). While in Venice, Louise Fishman limited her studio practice to drawing and watercolor, reveling in small scale work including Japanese style fold out books and note card sized watercolors. When she returned to her studio in New York, the effects of the residency became pronounced in her work. The theatricality that comes from the grandness of opera, the drama of the old masters paintings (Titian was a favorite) imbued her paintings. 

As put in the 2014 Whitney Biennale: “The melding of order and chaos that she encountered while touring the city’s famous blue-green canals and labyrinthine alleyways aligned with the direction her painting has taken since the early 1990s. Artworks that Fishman made during this period reveal her efforts to resolve the two apparently opposing tendencies she has worked through as an abstract painter since the mid-1960s - the hard-edge objectivity of the grid and the gestural subjectivity of expressionism.”

Born in 1939 in Philadelphia, Louise Fishman, lived and worked in New York. Louise Fishman’s work is in the collections many public institutions, including the National Academy of Art and Design, NY; the Metropolitan Museum of Art, NY; the Art Institute of Chicago, Chicago, IL; the Carnegie Museum of Art, Pittsburg, PA; the High Museum of Art, Atlanta, GA; the Jewish Museum, NY; the Neuberger Museum of Art, Purchase, NY; the Krannert Art Museum, Champaign, IL; the Hood Museum of Art, Hanover, NH; and the Museum of Contemporary Art, San Diego, CA. She was the recipient of three National Endowment for the Arts grants, a New York Foundation for the Arts Fellowship, and a Guggenheim Fellowship, among others.

Widely shown for the past five decades, Louise Fishman’s first group show was at the National Drawing and Print Exhibition at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in 1961. Her first solo exhibit was at the Philadelphia Art Alliance in 1963. Fishman was included in three Whitney Biennials: 1973, 1987, and 2014 (the last biennial at the Breuer building). In 2016, the Neuberger Museum of Art organized the artist’s first retrospective, curated by Helaine Posner and accompanied by a monograph; the retrospective traveled to the Weatherspoon Art Museum, University of North Carolina at Greensboro in 2017. In Fishman’s hometown of Philadelphia, the Institute of Contemporary Art held a concurrent exhibition of her small-scale work, Paper Louise Tiny Fishman Rock, curated by Ingrid Schaffner. The Krannert Art Museum at the University of Illinois presented an exhibition of Louise Fishman’s drawings in 2021.

Pinta Miami 2022

The Modern & Contemporary 

Latin American Art Show

The Hangar in Coconut Grove, Miami

November 30 - December 4, 2022

Pinta Miami celebrates its sixteenth anniversary venturing into a brand new concept: this year the most important Latin American contemporary art fair presents a blend format that combines top-notch technology with the glamour of meeting in person. A team of ten internationally recognized curators develops innovative proposals for the different sections of the fair. A series of prestigious prizes will award and support important artists at different stages of their career. Tradition and innovation coexist in this edition, through a tribute to the great Ides Kihlen, and the novelty of the first ever exhibition in the Metaverse. These are just some of the forefront proposals that Pinta Miami presents this year, opening its new headquarters at The Hangar in Coconut Grove.

In line with Pinta's commitment as an international platform to stimulate and disseminate Ibero-American modern and contemporary art, this year's edition presents an artistic program that includes diverse and interdisciplinary exhibitions, and sections carefully articulated by the curators Omar-Pascual Castillo, Mario Gioia and José Antonio Navarrete for the Main Section; Oscar Roldán-Alzate in the Solo-Duo Projects and Main Section sections; Felix Suazo for Special Projects; Florencia Portocarrero in NEXT; Gean Moreno for Intersections; Pascal Tarabay for the Pinta Design section; Veronica Santalla for the Media Point section and curator architect Daniel Fischer for the design and spatial distribution of the fair.

Pinta Miami seeks to support artistic practice and encourage collecting, through new and established awards. In its twelfth edition, the EFG Latin America Art Award, sponsored by our main supporter, encourages the production of emerging Latin American artists, pre-selected through a jury at contemporary art fairs in Latin America throughout the year. On the other hand, the NEXT Prize will be awarded for the first time, for the stand that achieves the most cohesive and comprehensive dialogue of the practices of the artists represented. As a crowning note, Pinta Miami will present a series of seven Private and Public Collections Awards, from important and prestigious Ibero-American collectors, from both sides of the Atlantic.

In this new edition there is also a place for tributes. With the Aina Nowack Gallery, Pinta Miami celebrate Ides Kihlen, who turned 105 in 2022, with a tribute exhibition at the National Museum of Fine Arts in Buenos Aires and with the Lifetime Achievement Award from the National Academy of Fine Arts. 

Finally, in a completely disruptive and innovative approach, and seeking to create a link between the physical and virtual worlds, Pinta is the first major art fair to present an exhibition in the Metaverse, together with edigital.art, the Ella Fontanals Cisneros collection and the Museum District of Decentraland.

 

Pinta Concept thus becomes an exceptional showcase that not only highlights the outstanding quality of Latin American art, but also combines exclusivity and prestige to enhance the voice of artists and their social, cultural and ecological concerns. Fusing the face-to-face with the virtual, and connecting art lovers with its creators, Pinta is more than a fair: it is a concept.

Curated by Omar-Pascual Castillo, Mario Gioia and José Antonio Navarrete, the main section of Pinta Miami presents an international selection of galleries where various contemporary axes converge and share a gene rooted in Ibero-American culture.

2022 Winter/Spring exhibitions @ CMCA, Rockland - Center for Maine Contemporary Art

2022 Winter/Spring exhibitions 

Center for Maine Contemporary Art, Rockland

January 29 - May 8, 2022

The Center for Maine Contemporary Art (CMCA) announces four Winter/Spring exhibitions. Related events, including artist talks and an artists’ reception, will be announced in the coming weeks on the CMCA's website.

Nicola López | Visions, Phantoms, and Apparitions

Marilyn Moss Rockefeller Lobby + Karen and Rob Brace Hall

Nicola López's solo exhibition will feature the monumental mixed media installation, Barren Lands Breed Strange Visions, accompanied by three related bodies of work that collectively view our past, present and future through the lens of climate change. López’s works for the exhibition exist somewhere between hopes and apprehensions, depicting human-built structures that are strange, beautiful, ominous, and even impossible. In addition to gallery hours, López's exhibition will be visible at night from CMCA's courtyard through our floor-to-ceiling lobby windows.

Chris Doyle | The Fabricators

Bruce Brown Gallery + Karen and Rob Brace Hall

The exhibition will premiere Doyle’s 2021 digital animation, The Fabricators on a screen spanning 48 feet in length. The Fabricators features a group of related machines locked in loops of perpetual labor. Products, by-products, and waste are transported through conduits that weave through space. Because the figures and gestures of the system appear anthropomorphic, one can’t help but look at the elements that make up The Fabricators and wonder about the future of human activity as the majority of production is transferred from man to machine.

Young Sun Han | Passages From a Memoir + Tourist in the Dark 

Guy D. Hughes Gallery

Arising out of research into family narratives and grassroots peace movements on Jeju Island, Young Sun Han will present text and photo-based installations that respond to consequences of war and migration in North and South Korea. Through research and travel – mining memoir, oral histories, articles, travel brochures, and forbidden photographs – Han’s installation examines stories of the Korean diaspora.

Walk the Line

Main Gallery 

Walk the Line features an exceptionally diverse range of works by eight Maine and Maine-connected artists who share a central use of linear or geometric forms in their compositions. Seen together, these artists underscore the expressive power of the line through works that span assemblage, photography, textile, painting, printmaking, sculpture, and artist books. Artists featured in the exhibition include Paolo Arao, Grace DeGennaro, Clint Fulkerson, John Houck, Jennie C. Jones, Jeff Kellar, Paula McCartney, and Will Sears.

These exhibitions are curated by Executive Director and Chief Curator, Timothy Peterson with Curatorial Assistant, Rachel Romanski and in collaboration with the artists.

Art Basel Miami Beach 2017 - 16th edition

Art Basel Miami Beach 2017 

16th edition 

Miami Beach Convention Center 

December 7 – 10, 2017 

Art Basel's 16th edition in Miami Beach will feature 268 leading galleries within an entirely new floorplan and show architecture

Art Basel announced the list of 268 leading international galleries selected for its 2017 Miami Beach show. Drawn from 32 countries across North and South America, Europe, Asia, the Middle East and Africa, the exhibitors will present artworks ranging from Modern masterpieces and historical projects to new works by both established and emerging artists. This year's show will introduce a new floorplan and show design, reflecting the improved possibilities provided by the Miami Beach Convention Center's (MBCC) ongoing renovation. 2017 is an important year for the cultural scene in Miami with The Bass re-opening after a large-scale renovation and The Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami (ICA Miami) inaugurating its new building in the heart of the Miami Design District.

The MBCC, Art Basel’s home since its first edition in Miami Beach in 2002, is now in the second phase of a major renovation, which began in late 2015. Scheduled for completion in 2018, the construction will result in modernized exhibition halls, providing state-of-theart facilities for exhibitors and visitors. As a result of the ongoing renovation, the 2017 show will feature a completely redesigned exhibition layout by Tom Postma Design. This enhanced show design comprises a new floorplan featuring more than 10 percent of added exhibition space – yielding larger booths, wider aisles and enhanced lounging and dining options – as well as four entrances to the halls.

Now in its 16th edition, Art Basel in Miami Beach is the premier art show in the Americas, with more than half of the participating galleries having exhibition spaces in the region. Alongside a robust roster of returning galleries, the 2017 edition of the show features 20 galleries who are participating in the Miami Beach show for the first time. The show welcomes nine first-time participants from North and South America, including Anat Ebgi from Los Angeles; Chapter NY, David Lewis Gallery and Tyler Rollins Fine Art from New York; Inman Gallery from Houston; Patron from Chicago; Galeria Jaqueline Martins and Ricardo Camargo Galeria from São Paulo; and Isla Flotante from Buenos Aires.

In addition, the 11 new exhibitors from Europe and Asia are: A arte Invernizzi from Milan; Applicat-Prazan and Ceysson & Bénétière from Paris; Dépendance from Brussels; Múrias Centeno with spaces in Porto and Lisbon; Hales Gallery, Offer Waterman and Richard Saltoun Gallery from London; Antenna Space from Shanghai; and Takuro Someya Contemporary Art and Taro Nasu from Tokyo.

The Galleries sector will feature outstanding presentations of painting, sculpture, drawing, installation, photography and video works, presented by 198 of the world’s leading galleries. This year, a strong list of returning participants is joined by 10 galleries which have previously participated in the show’s Nova, Positions or Survey sectors: 47 Canal, Bureau, Garth Greenan Gallery, Kalfayan Galleries, Galeria Leme, Peres Projects, Galeria Plan B, Sfeir-Semler Gallery, Jessica Silverman Gallery and Tokyo Gallery + BTAP. One gallery – Applicat-Prazan – will be completely new to the show while Konrad Fischer Galerie and Fergus McCaffrey will both return to the Galleries sector in Miami Beach after a hiatus.

The Edition sector presents 11 global leaders in the field of prints and editioned works: Alan Cristea Gallery, Crown Point Press, Gemini G.E.L. LLC, Sabine Knust, Carolina Nitsch, Pace Prints, Paragon, Polígrafa Obra Gràfica, STPI, Two Palms and ULAE. 

Positions allows curators, critics, collectors and visitors to discover new talents from across the globe by providing a platform for galleries to present one major project by a single artist. This year, the sector features 14 solo booths. At Antenna Space, Xu Qu (b. 1978) will display a new series of ceramic pot sculptures and typographic prints that examine how religious activities have influenced Chinese society. Ceramics will also be on view in an installation by Carl Mannov (b. 1990) at Christian Andersen. Arredondo \ Arozarena will present a daily performance by Israel Martínez (b. 1979). Adam Gordon (b. 1986) will transform Chapter NY’s booth into a performance installation – a document vaguely describing the performance will entice visitors to identify an anonymous woman who wanders the fair in close proximity to the booth for the duration of the show. Jibade-Khalil Huffman (b. 1981) will present a new body of work at Anat Ebgi that focuses on the black male figure in art history, film and literature, while Jamal Cyrus (b. 1973) will explore the cultural politics of Black American music and the civil rights movement of the 1960s and 1970s at Inman Gallery. Jill Mulleady (b. 1980) will treat Freedman Fitzpatrick’s booth as a stage for a social drama enacted through a set of six new paintings that create a mise-en-scène. Further, Patron will present sculptures, wall constructions and a large-scale mural by Harold Mendez (b. 1977), and Galeria Marilia Razuk’s booth will feature an extension of Rodrigo Bueno’s (b. 1967) studio. Dan Herschlein (b. 1989) will present a grouping of sculptures that together create an eerie domestic interior at JTT, while Nicolas Ceccaldi (b. 1983) will build on his interest in analyzing religion as a contemporary social phenomenon through new paintings and take-away brochures at Real Fine Arts. Sector highlights also include a collage-like hanging of monochrome paintings by Mariela Scafati (b. 1973) at Isla Flotante; a configuration of new works that disrupt the boundary between the domestic and the natural worlds by A.K. Burns (b. 1975) at Callicoon Fine Arts; and figurative paintings by Koichi Enomoto (b. 1977) at Taro Nasu.

Nova provides galleries with a platform to present new work by up to three artists, and will feature 29 exhibitors this year. First-time exhibitors include: Dépendance featuring drawings, sculpture, painting and film by Ed Atkins (b. 1982), Gillian Carnegie (b. 1971) and Peter Wächtler (b. 1979); David Lewis Gallery presenting works by Dawn Kasper (b. 1977) and Lucy Dodd (b. 1981); and Tyler Rollins Fine Art staging a never-beforeseen installation by Manuel Ocampo (b. 1965) reflecting on current global political events.

There will be a number of presentations addressing various political and social issues. Prometeogallery di Ida Pisani will show work by Santiago Sierra (b. 1966), Regina José Galindo (b. 1974) and Hiwa K (b. 1975), exploring notions of communities and their transformative power. David Castillo Gallery will present works that raise urgent questions about representations of race, sexuality and gender in today’s society, including a live performance by Kalup Linzy (b. 1977), as well as photographs by Lyle Ashton Harris (b. 1965) and Xaviera Simmons (b. 1974). At Tanya Leighton, Sanya Kantarovsky (b. 1982) will display a new body of work juxtaposing the celebratory atmosphere of an art fair with the increased erosion of civil rights around the world, while Rosângela Rennó (b. 1962) and Teresa Margolles (b. 1963) will present a project about memory and violence at Mor charpentier. In Proyectos Monclova’s booth, Tercerunquinto (established 1996) will stage a performative work, painting Mexican political campaign murals directly onto the walls. This performance will be accompanied by a new video that will create a visual and conceptual link between campaign wall painting and Mexican Muralism as an artistic expression of modernism.

Further highlights include: Dara Friedman (b. 1968) at Supportico Lopez, whose exhibition at Art Basel in Miami Beach will coincide with the artist’s retrospective at the Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM); Alexandre Estrela (b. 1971) at Travesía Cuatro, Barry McGee (b. 1966) at Ratio 3, Torey Thornton (b. 1990) at Essex Street, Carolina Caycedo (b. 1978) at Instituto de visión; Sascha Braunig (b. 1983) and Sara Cwynar (b. 1985) at Foxy Production, Alex Hubbard (b. 1975) and Emily Sundblad (b. 1977) at House of Gaga and Ishmael Randall Weeks (b. 1976) and Andrea Galvani (b. 1973) at Revolver Galería.

Several exhibitors will also present works in Art Basel's project-based sectors: Kabinett, Public, which will be curated for the first time by Philipp Kaiser, and Film. 

Visitors to the Miami Beach show will have the opportunity to view South Florida’s leading museums and private collections, who organize their strongest exhibitions of the year to coincide with Art Basel. Following a large-scale renovation, The Bass – Miami Beach’s contemporary art museum – will reopen in October and present several major solo exhibitions timed with the fair, featuring artists Pascale Marthine Tayou (b. 1967), Ugo Rondinone (b. 1964) and Mika Rottenberg (b. 1976). The Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami (ICA Miami) will inaugurate its new building in the heart of the Miami Design District with ‘The Everywhere Studio’, which explores the evolution of the artist’s studio from the post-war period to the present day and features works by renowned artists such as Roy Lichtenstein (b. 1923, d. 1997), Bruce Nauman (b. 1941), Carolee Schneemann (b. 1939), Matthew Barney (b. 1967), Rosemarie Trockel (b. 1952), Neïl Beloufa (b. 1985) and Yves Klein (b. 1928, d. 1962), among others.

Rosanjin Kitaoji: Ceramic and Calligraphic Works from the 1940’s and 1950’s at Franklin Parrasch Gallery, New York

Rosanjin Kitaoji: Ceramic and Calligraphic Works from the 1940’s and 1950’s
Franklin Parrasch Gallery, New York
September 20 - October 19, 2002

Rosanjin Kitaoji (1883-1959) is internationally recognized as one of the most influential and illustrious Japanese ceramic artists of the 20th Century. Franklin Parrasch Gallery presents over twenty original ceramic and calligraphic works by Rosanjin Kitaoji in the first United States exhibition of this artist’s work since 1972. A full-color catalog of this exhibition including an essay by Ken Price (one of the numerous American artists influenced by Rosanjin Kitaoji) is available.

In the Zen tradition, Rosanjin Kitaoji focused his energies on an array of disciplines including seal engraving, calligraphy, publishing, culinary arts and pottery. As an acclaimed epicurean, who established a private eating club in Tokyo, Rosanjin Kitaoji developed a heightened appreciation of ceramic vessels and, in particular, pottery of the ancient Japanese masters. The Great Kanto Earthquake in 1923 led to the decimation of his Gourmet Club along with his vast collection of functional antique ceramics. In 1925 he set out to open what would eventually be the most famous restaurant in Japan. In the course of planning, he decided to create all new ceramic wares to enhance the quality of the food he served and create a total sensual experience for his guests.

After considerable research and with the help of Living Treasure designee Toyozo Arakawa, Rosanjin Kitaoji excavated ancient kilns in Korea and present day Gifu-Prefecture, relocating them to his own property in Yamazaki. As he was not a production potter, Rosanjin Kitaoji brought many of the best ceramicists of his time to his compound to take advantage of these ancient kilns and their ability to achieve the firing effects of previous periods. The result was a marriage of glaze-colors and patterns reminiscent of various Japanese periods, but the forms were uniquely Rosanjin Kitaoji’s creation. It was Rosanjin Kitaoji’s gifts with the brush and calligraphy that not only distinguished the surfaces, but also the basis of the gestures (lines, bulges, weights and balances) of his clay forms.

Much has been discussed of Rosanjin Kitaoji’s painful and tumultuous childhood. Born under the name Kitaoji Fusajiro in 1883 to Seiso and Tome Kitaoji, he was the unexpected result of an affair his mother had with a funerary worker in Kyoto. His father was so shamed by this dishonor that he took his own life prior to Rosanjin Kitaoji’s birth. His mother was financially unable to care for Rosanjin Kitaoji and left the young boy in the care of a local policeman who shortly thereafter also committed suicide. Rosanjin Kitaoji was eventually placed in the foster care of a local sign carver, where he arguably received his first artistic training. In the end, however, all of his experiences with family and marital relationships were by and large tragic and unsuccessful. His best rapports were with artists and art (including several years in the early 50’s that Isamu Noguchi lived and worked on Rosanjin Kitaoji Kitaoji’s compound), and even then only when and with whom his exacting standards were maintained.

In 1954 a solo exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York brought Rosanjin Kitaoji to the United States and later led to meetings with Pablo Picasso and Marc Chagall both of whom were admirers and collectors of his pottery. Despite all his accomplishments in pottery, he turned down the Japanese government’s attempts to designate him as a Living National Treasure in 1955 and then again in 1956. After his death in 1959, Rosanjin Kitaoji’s work was exhibited in the United States; in 1965 at the M. H. de Young Museum in San Francisco; and in 1972 at the Japan Society Gallery in New York City. Concurrent with this exhibition, the Setagaya Art Museum in Tokyo, Japan is mounting a show of their permanent collection of Rosanjin Kitaoji’s work.
