April 28 – May 23, 2009 Since the late 1990s, Douglas Witmer’s paintings demonstrate an increasingly distilled sensibility related to surface and color. Intuitively combining simple geometric imagery, emphatic color, and subtle manipulation of the surface, his paintings are inquiries into the materiality of seeing, perception, feeling, and memory. In a recently published interview with the Tokyo-based artist Brent Hallard, Witmer said, “I want the present moment of seeing to be charged with the [...]
Robert Sagerman, 51,499 (detail), 2009 Oil on Canvas April 30 – June 13, 2009 Thatcher Projects presents Robert Sagerman’s fourth solo exhibition which offers a notable development of his strikingly distinctive work. Sagerman’s painting, paradoxically, combines a visual opulence with a rigorous, even ascetic, approach to art-making. His meticulous process involves the application of thousands of “marks” of oil paint using dozens of colors that he mixes and applies in thick, textural layers. The [...]
Work by Julian Dashper April 24 – June 18, 2009 The gallery presents two painters John Nixon (b. 1949) living in Melbourne, Australia and Julian Dashper (b. 1960) based in Auckland, New Zealand, who have exhibited in our Foley street location back in 1997.

Sorry, but this is too funny not to post. “A year ago, Artnet News published a light-hearted piece on a music video by former Destiny’s Child singer Kelly Rowland, which set the pop star’s gyrations amid florescent light environments, and clearly owed a debt to the work of the late minimalist Dan Flavin. Well, not everyone thought the reference was so amusing. John Silberman, of the law firm that represents the Flavin estate, writes [...]
Christopher Wool, Untitled, 2008 Silkscreen print on paper Museum Ludwig, Köln, permanent loan Gesellschaft für Moderne Kunst am Museum Ludwig April 21 – July 12, 2009 Christopher Wool is not only an abstract painter, he is also an explorer of abstraction.

He draws lines on the canvas with a spray gun and then, directly after, wipes [...]

On the desk are a manual typewriter, a stack of well-worn books, and an “out-box” where Bibi places typewritten thoughts that are her responses to readings. These pages of [...]

For the Temporäre Kunsthalle Berlin, Grosse has created a new group of works. The title of the show, “shadowbox”, [...]
Work by Henk van Gerner April 26 – May 24, 2009 Rhythm and repetition form the common characteristic features of the exhibitors works. Within this connection is looked for variation and contrast. So the well-considered grouped paintings of Frans Vendel and Go de Graaf are opposite the obsessive, in rhythmical strokes, constructed canvasses of Jerry Keizer. The monumental paintings of Tonneke Sengers show fixed and controlled, while Sanne Bruggink uses a free and lively language. [...]

Installation view Photo: Genevieve Hanson, NY March 5 – April 18, 2009 Curated by Peter Ballantine When Donald Judd very reluctantly abandoned painting in 1961-62 in favor of working in three dimensions, it was because he had finally concluded that a philosophically tenable painting was not possible – philosophically in the empirical-perceptual sense of being entirely available visually, and tenable in the sense of being free of abstraction or any other kind of representation. [...]
Cecilia Vissers, Orange Tide 2, 2008 Aluminum, 200 x 89 x 0.8 cm April 4 – May 2, 2009 Painting in steel Cecilia Vissers creates wallsculptures and floorsculptures in metal. To her especially steel, as an unflexible material, has an essential importance that runs through all her work. The character of plates warm rolled steel, the specific marking and the weight, to her these all signify what is for a painter the surface of [...]
