July 18 – October 11, 2010

In the time between Henri Matisse’s (1869–1954) return from Morocco in 1913 and his departure for Nice in 1917, the artist produced some of the most demanding, experimental, and enigmatic works of his career—paintings that are abstracted and rigorously purged of descriptive detail, geometric and sharply composed, and dominated by shades of black and gray. Works from this period have typically been treated as unrelated to one another, as an aberration within the artist’s development, or as a response to Cubism or World War I. Matisse: Radical Invention, 1913–1917 moves beyond the surface of these paintings to examine their physical production and the essential context of Matisse’s studio practice. Through this shift of focus, the exhibition reveals deep connections among these works and demonstrates their critical role in the artist’s development at this time. Matisse himself acknowledged near the end of his life the significance of this period when he identified two works—Bathers by a River (1909–10, 1913, 1916–17) and The Moroccans (1915–16)—as among his most “pivotal.” The importance of this moment resides not only in the formal qualities of the paintings but also in the physical nature of the pictures, each bearing the history of its manufacture. The exhibition includes approximately 120 paintings, sculptures, drawings, and prints, primarily from the years of 1913–17, in the first sustained examination devoted to the work of this important period. The exhibition will be on view at The Art Institute of Chicago from March 20 through June 20, 2010.

Non-Objectif Sud (NOS) is pleased to present its fifth exhibition and residency program with le beau le bien le vrai, an exhibition curated and organized by Tilman and Petra Bungert of CCNOA (Center for Contemporary Non-Objective Art, Brussels, Belgium).

Participating Artists:
Massimiliano Baldassarri (IT/CH)
Francisco da Mata (PT/CH)
Camila Oliveira Fairclough (BR/UK)
Sacha Goerg (CH/BE)
Alexandra Guillot (FR)
Colombe Marcasiano (FR)

Emmanuel Van der Meulen (FR)

The exhibition project le beau le bien le vrai (named after a work of the same title by Damien Sorrentino) presented by NOS aims to survey artistic production focusing on the realm of reductive and conceptual art within the perimeters of a more regional context. For this exhibition CCNOA has invited 14 artists working in the francophone -and neighboring francophone countries- cultural landscapes. The participating artists live and work in Paris, Marseille and Nice (France) as well as Grenoble, Geneva and Neuchâtel (Switzerland) and have studied at renowned art schools including the Villa Arson, Nice.

In addition to painting, sculpture and video works, le beau le bien le vrai will also present site-specific works – both indoors and outdoors. Turning NOS into their temporary studio, the artists will expand and reflect on NOS’s magnificent setting and the environment.

Since its inception in 1998, CCNOA, a multidisciplinary non-for-profit art organization currently based in Brussels, has established a platform to review and introduce contemporary artistic positions, strategies and developments in the field of reductive art on an international level. Focusing for the past 12 years on the dialogue between artists, art-professionals and art-lovers from around the globe, CCNOA has helped to renew the discourse surrounding the subject of contemporary reductive art and has inspired many others to set up similar organizations.

To broaden communication and exchange between artists and the public, CCNOA has also organized a series of traveling group exhibitions in the USA, Australia and Europe in addition to its ongoing exhibition program in Brussels. Visit www.ccnoa.org for further information.

NOS was founded by co-directors Andrew Huston and Karole Vail in 2005 as a non-for-profit alternative to the institutional space of the commercial art gallery. NOS is located at La Barralière, a farmhouse with an adjoining exhibition space in the Rhône Valley 50 kilometers north of Avignon. Each summer, artists are invited in residence to collaborate, create and exhibit site-specific artworks within this Kunsthalle platform.

Carmen Herrera, Black and Yellow, 2009
Acrylic on canvas, diptych, 72 x 72 inches

April 30 – June 26, 2010

Frederico Sève Gallery/latincollector proudly announces Carmen Herrera: Recent Works. For this show, Carmen Herrera has created 7 new works that convey the expression of space like never before. Through elegance and economy Herrera once again stakes out new frontiers.

In this new suite of paintings Carmen Herrera is still breaking new ground. Drawing on her recurrent themes of space, time, & place, Herrera expresses the monument themes that have dominated her life of making art. She alerts our senses to contemplate an architecture that is internal.

In front of a Herrera’s painting we feel the subtle transitions from objectivity to subjectivity produced by seeing one form as dominating, or one color as recessing. This dialectic potential between positive and negative space throws one off-kilter & into redundant understanding of how the flat depiction of shape can stir within us the most physical feelings toward a vastness usually only experienced in the landscape. Hers is a visuality that produces a freedom from our fixed position. In front of one of her paintings, we feel our dependence on comprehending space through the referencing of gravity and question it. Her paintings insist at once that we free ourselves from this center. They beg of us to reexamine our choices through the contemplation of an image that is free of all but the most reductive signals of relationships and interconnectivity. Her paintings depict an idyllic architecture of thoughts. Here consequence is examined from the vantage point of an elegant removal of the body and it’s gravity through the mere fixation on form.

Carmen Herrera has had a flurry of international news coverage during the past few months. Last summer art critic, Laura Cumming, in the London “Observer” sang her praises by writing, “Carmen Herrera is the discovery of the year – of the decade” & The New York Times featured a front page story about her on Sunday, December 20th, 2009. In addition to these two exciting citations, she has been featured in the January issue of “Art News”, been interviewed by German public television, German public radio and a host of others. In this climate of post-post-modernism, when people are looking back at the abstract movements- wondering they didn’t miss some things along the way,her work is finally receiving the attention that it deserves.

During the past 5 years she has been acquired by MoMA, New York, Tate Modern, London and the Hirschhorn, Washington DC. Born in Havana, Cuba in 1915, Carmen Herrera settled in New York in 1954 where she has since resided. During the 1930’s she studied in painting in Paris and architecture in Cuba, finally returning to Paris for 9 years before settling in New York City. While in Paris she participated in a number of key exhibitions of the Salon des Realities Nouvelles that focused on concrete constructivist work.

Work by Jesus Rafael Soto

May 8 – June 19, 2010

Participating Artists:
Mario Ballocco, Julije Knifer, Marco Maggi, Francois Morellet, Olivier Mosset, Jesus Rafael Soto

After World War II, many artists turned to geometric abstraction as a springboard for experimentation, leaving behind figurative art. Some said that was the death of painting. I prefer thinking of it as a new start.

I was first introduced to geometric abstract art when instructed by Serge Lemoine at lʼEcole du Louvre and have been since then fascinated by the subject. My strong continued interest in geometric art has led me to creating this exhibition to explore what is beyond geometry. Since the Renaissance, viewing a painting has been described as looking through a window onto the world. I would like to engage a more experimental approach and to bring the viewer inside the “world” made available by these artworks.

Francois Morelletʼs serigraphs abolish the system of one point perspective. His systematic method of image making is a study of the eyeʼs perception. Only using flat solid shapes on a monochromatic background, Morelletʼs layer effect creates depth, which can be experienced from multiple angles. This play on the eye is also seen in Mario Balloccoʼs work. And through his chromatic problems, Ballocco utilizes color to reveal how it has a positive and stimulating effect over the eye, provoking a psychic action on the whole human body.

This idea of action and movement has been synthesized by the French phenomenologist Maurice Merleau Ponty, who described perception as ʻan immediate and physical fluid, involving the whole body and not just the eyeʼ. Physical movement becomes a means of reaching a revelation about the art works by shifting the viewerʼs sensory and perceptual point of view. With Sotoʼs installation, a piece of the actual set of the 1978 ballet Genesis, choreographed by Alicia Alonso, at the Great Theatre of Havana, this is precisely how the viewer will experience this theme by literally walking into geometry. In another way, Marco Maggiʼs study explores the threshold between the second and third dimension. These works intensifies the viewerʼs physical relationship to the art.  His objects- papers – sit directly on the floor without pedestals and share our same space.

Finally, our experimental interaction ends with Julije Knifer and Olivier Mosset. Both have explored where flatness and surfaces can lead us – a rhythmic close up of a pattern, which develops into an independent surface that we can admire.

To answer the problematic of this showʼs title, what is beyond geometry is something that is over points, angles, surfaces and solids; what we find is a window to a world, which can function as a mirror of our sensations.

All the works presented have an impact to our senses and they envelop us into a mesmerizing geometric and transcendent atmosphere.

Hartmut Böhm
Untersuchungen eines Quadratsystems, IV, 1964/68

Photographer: Grzegorz Zabłocki

May 8 – June 12, 2010

MINUS SPACE is delighted to announce the exhibition Hartmut Böhm: Graphic Systems, Prints 1965-1975. This is the Berlin-based artist’s first solo exhibition in New York City and it will feature ten silkscreen prints produced between 1965 and 1975.

For more than fifty years, Hartmut Böhm has been working in installation, sculpture, drawing, and printmaking. His work focuses almost exclusively on the aesthetics of systems that highlight the relativity of perception. Böhm’s practice is organized around four primary areas of investigation: Systems (serial structures), Perception (transparency and visual ambiguity), Gestalt (partition and outline), and Concept (linear principles and infinite progressions).

Perception is the dominant facet of the work he produced during the 1960s and 1970s, which includes the prints on view at MINUS SPACE. About his work of this period, Böhm states, “It was about investigation, comprehension, and perception as active learning…it wasn’t about optical sensations.” Böhm views the systems in his work as pictorial strategies, rather than metaphysical vehicles pointing toward the realm of utopia. He continues, “The fascination for me lies in the simultaneous logical combining of the visible and invisible elements, and their derived principal separation from that same logic.”

A comprehensive interview with Hartmut Böhm, his first in English, was conducted by Matthew Deleget and published on MINUS SPACE in February 2004. Böhm’s work was recently included in the group exhibitions Open House for Butterflies at MINUS SPACE in 2009, and MINUS SPACE at P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center in NYC in 2008.

Hartmut Böhm is one of the most important European reductive artists of his generation. He was born in Kassel, Germany, in 1938, and studied with Arnold Bode, the founder and curator of Documenta, at the Hochschule für Bildende Künste in Kassel. Böhm produced his first systems-based work in 1959. Several years later, he was included in the seminal constructivist exhibition Nouvelle Tendance: Propositions visuelles du mouvement international at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, France in 1964. The exhibition heralded in the Op, Kinetic, and Zero Art movements.

Böhm has mounted more than sixty solo exhibitions and has participated in hundreds of group exhibitions internationally. His work is included in nearly seventy public collections worldwide. The Chelm Museum Collection of Contemporary Art in Chelm, Poland, mounted a retrospective of Böhm’s prints in 2008.

March 30 – May 29, 2010

The Mayor Gallery is hosting an exhibition of works by Argentinean born artist Luis Tomasello, with his first solo exhibition in the UK. Tomasello, a leading representative of Latin American Kinetic art, worked extensively in Paris from the late 1950s onwards exhibiting with Galerie Denise René, alongside Victor Vasarely and Jesús Rafael Soto.

Born in La Plata in 1915, Tomasello studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Buenos Aires, and began as a Concrete artist, looking to Mondrian for inspiration. It was after settling in Paris in 1957, however, that he began working in relief, moving away from the linear nature of geometric abstraction, directing his interest to form and colour effects:

‘I went to relief as an experience and in that process, I discovered the wonderful world of light. The reflection of color on the surface fascinated me and that is what I’ve worked in from that time on.’

(A Conversation With Francesca Bellini Joseph, Literal Magazine, Autumn 2009)
Tomasello is most famed for his Atmosphère Chromoplastique works, where white cubes with painted undersides are arranged at varying angles onto a white surface. This results in subtle reflections of coloured light, and an optical sensation of movement. He manages to put the emphasis on the coloured reflections, and limit the geometric aspect to the introduction of simplified forms. It was Tomasello’s decision to pass from painting to sculpture that allowed him to overcome the linear aspect of abstraction, and focus on form and colour effects. Later on in his career, this allowed environmental and architectural applications for his work.

Tomasello has been involved with the following international exhibitions: the landmark show ‘La Lumiere et Mouvement’ at the Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, in 1967 as well as the Museo Español de Arte Contemporáneo, Madrid in 1985. He has also realised a certain number of architectural projects such as Chromoplastique Mural installed in 1971 at the façade of the San Pedro Edifice in Guadalajara, Mexico. There followed an Environment for the Conference Hall of the Renault factory at Boulogne-Billancourt near Paris, 1975 among other architectural projects.

The exhibition at The Mayor Gallery reviews Tomasello’s Atmosphère Chromoplastique works from the 1960s to date and will feature 3 of his Lumière Noire series (his experiments with black on black) as well as 4 Objet Plastique.

George Rickey, Diptych – The Seasons, 1956
Stainless steel and polychrome

February 18 – March 20, 2010

Marlborough Gallery announces that a major exhibition of works by George Rickey will open at Marlborough Chelsea, 545 West 25th Street, on February 18 and continue through March 20, 2010. Twenty-four important indoor and outdoor works from Rickey’s personal collection and now held by the George Rickey Estate will be exhibited in the first floor gallery.

George Rickey is internationally regarded as among the most inventive and influential sculptors of the twentieth century. His iconic kinetic works were the outgrowth of experiments with wire and metal that began during his service in World War II. By the late 1950s and 1960s he reduced sculptural forms to simple, geometric shapes such as rectangles, trapezoids, cubes, and lines and largely limited his materials to stainless steel, creating a body of work that is a mesmerizing combination of minimalism and movement.

Important Works from the Estate will focus on Rickey’s sculptural exploration of light, line and shadow as effected by the changing air currents, wind and other natural phenomena; and will feature rare, unique works including the stainless steel and polychrome Diptych – The Seasons (14 x 55 x 22 • in.), 1956, Personage (98 x 20 x 39 in.), 1958 and Harlequin (78 x 25 x 25 in.), 1958, all of which were foundational in the development of Ricky’s kinetic oeuvre. Additionally Two Lines Vertical (20 • x 3 • x 2 in.), 1965, will be shown on the outdoor sculpture terrace at Marlborough on 57th Street. Two Lines Vertical was created by Rickey for his personal collection following the exhibition of the earlier but similar work Two Lines Temporal, 1964, at Documenta III in 1964 which established Rickey’s international reputation. Two Lines Temporal has been in The Museum of Modern Art’s permanent collection since 1964.

Whether in columns, clusters, lines, or suspended shimmering planes, Rickey’s sculptures capture the expressive moment of the intersection of material form, light and movement in space. As art critic Alexandra Anderson-Spivy comments in the catalog essay: “His works mesmerize viewers even when they are still. But these fluid geometric constructions are born to move and they partner best with natural forces. Rickey often declared that he aimed ‘to make things [that are] as contemporary as the weather report,’ And gentle winds and changing weather usually are his sculptures’ greatest friends. The artist never ceased to explore the possibilities offered by the symbiotic relationship between his sculpture and the physical laws of natural motion, chance and light. ”

George Rickey was born on June 6, 1907, in South Bend, Indiana. In 1913 the family moved to Scotland, where his father, an engineer for the Singer Sewing Machine Company, had been transferred. While studying modern history at Oxford, Mr. Rickey also took courses in painting and drawing at the Ruskin School of Drawing and Fine Art. After graduation, he went to Paris to study art at the Académie L’hôte and at the Académie Moderne, where he worked under the Modernist painters Fernand Léger and Amédée Ozenfant.

Rickey served in the Army Air Corps in World War II. He was assigned to work with engineers in a machine shop to improve aircraft weaponry, an experience that reawakened earlier interests in science and technology. After the war, he resumed his peripatetic teaching career. A year studying Bauhaus teaching methods at the Chicago Institute of Design in the late 1940s was decisive; for it was there that he seriously began to consider the idea of bringing together geometric form and movement. In 1949, while working as an associate professor at Indiana University, he made his first kinetic sculpture using window glass.

In 1960 Rickey moved to East Chatham, N.Y., which remained his home base until the end of his life. He retired from teaching in 1966 after five years at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, N.Y., but continued to make sculpture and to travel incessantly. To keep up with his many public commissions and exhibitions, he maintained studios in Berlin and in Santa Barbara, California. Rickey’s last sculpture — his tallest, at 57 feet 1 inch – was installed at the Hyogo Museum in Japan in 2002.

Rickey received Honorary Doctorate degrees from nine institutions and was elected to the National Institute of Arts and Letters in 1974 and received the Gold Medal for Sculpture from the American Academy of Arts and Letters in 1995.

One might think it easier to photographically reproduce a recent monochromatic painting by John Griefen than a 50’s painting by Ad Reinhardt, as the acrylic paint on a Griefen is textured and thick in contrast to Reinhardt’s matte application. But both Reinhardt and Griefen defy reproduction, and that is just one of the things they have in common. Both demand that the viewer powerfully and authentically engage the actual painting, and both are inextricably bound to the physical act of painting.

This physicality is probably why Griefen prefers a motorcycle to a car, his rustic home in Southwest France to Brooklyn, or wine to water. Life is lived fully in the art of John Griefen, and the viewer can sense this in front of his paintings.

Griefen has been showing in New York City since the 1960s, with numerous exhibitions at Kornblee Gallery, Salander-O’Reilly Galleries, and others. His work is in major public and private collections, and has been discussed by writers as diverse as Rosalind Krauss (Artforum, 1969), Hilton Kramer (NY Times, 1973) and Terry Fenton, 1981. Gary Snyder/Project Space is pleased to present its first exhibition of John Griefen’s paintings.

C, an installation by Bergman at ParisCONCRET, configures the chemical symbol for carbon using an innovative architectural product called ‘softwall’ by Molo Design to make a translucent white curve of vertical pleats.

C, in its reductive simplicity, aims to place the viewer “in an indeterminate, luminous space, in attentive contemplation” experiencing the light and space of symbolic carbon.

With this project Bergman references Agnes Martin’s “To the Islands” work from 1974-1979: “This kind of color, a lapse in pure whiteness, is an imperfection. Through it, you imagine the perfect “white” of light.”

In its shape, C also references a 1983 steel work by Richard Serra, Clara-Clara: two mirrored Cs shown in Paris at the Tuileries, Place de la Concorde. Like Serra’s work, this installation is also a phenomenological sculpture that “exists in primary relation to the body, not as its representation but as its activation, in all its senses, all its apperceptions of weight and measure, size and scale.” C, however, is situational rather than site specific because this work engages ParisCONCRET and redefines its space.

The French-born international artist Daniel Buren is considered one of the fiercest critics of contemporary art. It is particularly towards the museum, its circumstances and conditions, that he likes to turn his critical attention. For the “museum is the place, with regard to which and for which works are created.”

For well over forty years Buren has applied his mischievous intuition to develop works that directly play on their surroundings. Thus, in institutions such as the Guggenheim Museum in New York or, most recently, in the Musée Picasso in Paris, he has created breathtaking installations in dialogue with their specific contexts, thereby opening these up to new perspectives. But he has frequently performed his artistic interventions in outdoor locations too, where he typically applies 8.7 cm wide stripes – his characteristic artistic trademark – to give heightened visibility to certain aspects of reality.

In Nuremberg Daniel Buren encounters the striking architecture of Volker Staab, whose symbiosis of different architectural traditions represents a milestone in the history of modern museum architecture. In the exhibition “MODULATION Works in situ” conceived exclusively for the Neues Museum, Daniel Buren explores certain distinctive elements of the museum’s design. Making specific reference to the façade, to the foyer and its staircase, and to the exhibition hall, Buren has evolved works of his own that combine light and movement to create singular and exceptional situations.

Nathan Hylden, Untitled, 2009
Acrylic on aluminum, 34 x 28 inches

October 1-31, 2009

Paul Kasmin Gallery presents “Affinities,” a show that juxtaposes new paintings by Nathan Hylden with works by Josef Albers, Frank Stella and Andy Warhol. Curated by Meredith Darrow, the show connects Hylden’s geometric forms and repeated gestures with those of his art historical predecessors.

Like Albers, Stella and Warhol, Hylden uses a regulated process to create variations within a systematic sequence and to continue Modern Art’s redefinition of pictoral space. Starting with a stack of identically sized aluminum panels, Hylden adds layers of paint and ink to these reflective surfaces, changing the order of operations for each panel. As the series progresses, older panels are used in the creation of newer ones— for example, vertical bands of white paint bridge the borders of separate panels, forming an indexical link between these individual works within the larger series. Another unifying motif presents itself in the screen-printed image of a one-to-one photograph of a blank canvas hanging on a wall. Hylden deliberately chose the loaded notion of a “blank canvas” to evoke long-standing concerns about the relationships between the illusory depth of an image and its physical support. Grounding itself in Albers’s pure geometry, Stella’s insistence on the potential of formal abstraction, and Warhol’s interest in serialized imagery, Hylden extends the conversation to the next generation of artists and viewers.

Nathan Hylden was born in 1978 in Fergus Falls, Minnesota, and currently lives and works in Los Angeles, California. He studied at the Art Center in Pasadena and at the Städelschule in Frankfurt/Main. His works have been shown in several international group exhibitions, as well as solo exhibitions at Richard Telles Fine Art in Los Angeles, Misako & Rosen in Tokyo, Art: Concept in Paris and Johann König in Berlin.

Meredith Darrow is an independent curator living and working in New York City.

Steven Parrino, Untitled, 1993

October 11, 2009 – January 3, 2010

The MAGASIN is starting its season with a portrait of the artist Olivier Mosset. The exhibition takes the form of a tribute, gathering works by different artists, but never showing Olivier Mossetʼs own work. The artists are of all generations, from Carl André to Stéphane Kropf including the famous group of artists 1m3 among the youngest. As a key figure of the artistic scene and part of a family with the same artistic sensitivity, Olivier Mosset keeps close links with them. He collects or swaps works with them. He has today gathered an important collection, most of which was offered to the Musée des beaux-arts de La Chaux-de-Fonds. Other works are to be found at the MAMCO in Geneva, the Consortium in Dijon and in Tucson.

The exhibition aims at drawing a portrait of the artist through a series of rooms organized around different specific subjects. A first room will introduce his roots, with Chardinʼs engravings (given each year by his grandfather to his colleagues), or Gregoire Müllerʼs portrait. Another one will highlight portraits of Olivier Mosset with Steven Parrinoʼs photographs of him and acrylic paintings by Walter Steding. Another room will reveal quotations, borrowings and copies (from Hugo Pernet in particular). The following rooms will show monochrome paintings, floor-based works, and the indestructible link between Olivier Mosset and the bikers world.
