“There is no invention in painting, no true creation. There is an unfolding and unveiling of color and form. There is a reshaping of the raw and inanimate material of paint.” – Daniel Domig, 2014

The title of the show is shared with a new installation that runs along and around the center wall of the gallery. The structure is made of individually colored wooden bars which are constructed into a hollow wall on which several paintings are hanging. The installation plays off the architecture of the space as well as reminding us of the stretchers behind the paintings themselves. As Domig’s beautifully obscure paintings have a tendency to escape into the blurriness of their own shapes and colors, the wooden construction becomes the anchor by stabilizing these hovering canvases.

All of the artist’s installations have always attempted to lay bare the experience of looking at art as well as the conditions needed for immersing oneself in it. They also serve to bridge the gap that is left when the paintings leave the uncertainties of the studio, and are placed within the sterile, white-box environment of the gallery.

A handmade installation must literally turn the gallery space into a temporary workshop. There is a certain oddness to seeing paintings on a makeshift scaffolding which surprisingly often provokes a new encounter with them.

In the artist’s own words: “Painting is a process. A thickening of the visible that is agitated by an appearance of forms, lines and shapes. Every mark not so much in addition to, but in fundamental transformation of all preceding ones. As this process continues, there is an increasing tension between painter and painting. Material has its stubborn qualities, the composition its own logic. Like a parent bringing up a child, the painter must avoid imposing his own vision onto the empty canvas, and come to terms with guiding a living organism that has a mind of its own”.

de la Cruz Collection: “You’ve Got to Know the Rules.. to Break Them” – Art Basel Miami Beach 2015
December 1st – December 5th, 9:00AM to 3:00PM
de la Cruz Collection
23 N.E. 41st Street
Miami, FL 33137

The de la Cruz Collection presents their 2016 exhibition “You’ve Got to Know the Rules…to Break Them.” Rosa and Carlos de la Cruz have selected a group of artists from their personal collection who have been associated with defining 21st century practice. Self-aware of the influence that technology and the rise of consumerism has had on their work, artists exhibited follow the cool forms of Minimalism, Conceptualism and Abstract Expressionism, while injecting their works with subtle negations of their own process. Looking at traditional techniques behind painting and sculpture, these works co-exist timelessly as strategies of stylistic appropriation raise questions of subjectivity and originality.

“You’ve Got to Know the Rules…to Break Them” contextualizes New American Abstraction with German Neo-Expressionism, revealing earnest explorations of the artists technical acumen. Through experimentation, they antagonize accepted practices by drawing upon a variety of themes including cultural, historical and sociopolitical modes.

Per contra, the third floor contains a study in portraiture and memory with the works of Félix González-Torres, Ana Mendieta and Rob Pruitt. By transforming everyday objects and using energetic gestures and repetition, González-Torres, Mendieta and Pruitt accept diverse ideologies and reject the notion that art has a single vantage point.

By merging a variety of styles and mediums, the works selected for this year’s exhibition mirror contemporary culture while allowing an open-ended conversation of various interpretations and possibilities. Artist in the exhibition: Allora & Calzadilla, Tauba Auerbach, Walead Beshty, Mark Bradford, Joe Bradley, Dan Colen, Matt Connors, Martin Creed, Aaron Curry, Peter Doig, Jim Drain, Isa Genzken, Félix González-Torres, Mark Grotjahn, Wade Guyton, Rachel Harrison, Arturo Herrera, Evan Holloway, Thomas Houseago, Alex Israel, JPW3, Jacob Kassay, Alex Katz, Martin Kippenberger, Glenn Ligon, Michael Linares, Nate Lowman, Adam McEwen, Ana Mendieta, Albert Oehlen, Gabriel Orozco, Jorge Pardo, Manfred Pernice, Sigmar Polke, Seth Price, Rob Pruitt, Sterling Ruby, Analia Saban, Josh Smith, Reena Spaulings, Rudolf Stingel, Cosima von Bonin, Guyton/Walker, Kelley Walker, Christopher Wool.

ART BASEL Exhibit of Paintings by Dale Nally
Dec 4-7, 2014
Open Daily 12noon-8pm
with general reception Saturday December 6, 6-8pm

From Kentucky farm boy to celebrated artist, Dale Nally wore many hats. An artist, a man, but most importantly a spiritual being, he embodied a sense of kindness and a gentleness of spirit seldom found in other men. His remarkable paintings were most certainly his passion, but Dale devoted his life to helping the downtrodden wherever he encountered a needy soul. Many human beings can relate to having a spiritual experience, but Dale Nally was truly a spiritual being having a human experience. His spirituality permeated his life in every aspect, from his yoga practice to the profoundly emotional creation of his work, which evokes a sense of calm and a peaceable nature. Dale’s paintings are greatly influenced by his travels and studies in Asia as well as his rural, Appalachian upbringing. His canvases are organic rather than static objects. The connection with nature is always palpable while experiencing one of his pieces.

A week-long art and entertainment fair focusing on progressive art is set to take center stage during Art Basel Week. The pop up gallery and lounge is affectionately called Basel House, because it’s home to the largest collection of pure street artists along with mixed media, digital artists and sculptures. For those who like street art and graffiti, there’s no place else to be. Artists will paint live on canvas, brick walls and anything they can get their hands on, including a 1961 Bentley. Their work will also be displayed inside a 10,000 square-foot gallery called The Art House. A neat interactive feature of this event will allow people to try their hand at creating their own street art. On a daily basis, Canvas Vandals will host and help people unleash their “inner vandal” creativity on canvas.

“Basel House is designed to be inclusive of all artists and people. That’s why this event is free to the public. We’ve gone through great lengths to bring well-known graffiti artists from around the world, because we feel strongly that all art is important, whether you find it on a brick wall or a gallery wall,” said Tony Albelo, the event organizer.

In addition to live art from artists such as Greg Mike, Claw Money, Cope2, Kue Molly, Monorex and 2wenty, there will be live music with bands and VJ’s performing each night throughout the event. Also, the Top 21 Food Trucks will be present including Latin Burger, Inspir-Asian, King Of Racks BBQ, Poblano’s Mexican Fusion, The Health Nut On Wheels, Mobstah Lobstah, Conch Shack Food Junkies, and HipPOPs Handcrafted Gelato, to name a few.

If that weren’t enough, there will be an Arts & Crafts Showcase highlighting the uniqueness of Wynwood artisans with their hand-crafted creations.

All areas open at 12 noon each day and close at midnight, with the exception of The Art House, which will remain open until 2 a.m.

Peri Schwartz is included in collections internationally, among them the British Museum, London, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, the Library of Congress, Washington D.C., and the Kupferstichkabinett-Staatliche Museum, Berlin. Working with different media is an important part of the process Schwartz uses to develop her works. Representing similar subjects and formal arrangements in a variety of media challenges her to rethink and revise her compositions. The initial works done in her Studio series were created using charcoal; this allowed her to easily rework their compositions. Schwartz then alternated between creating paintings, drawings, and mono-types of the same subject; this method of moving back and forth between different media further facilitates the process she uses to work out formal arrangements.

Schwartz also addresses pictorial challenges in her Bottle &Jars series. In the carefully composed but compressed space of these works, attention is drawn to how the bottles and jars fill the picture plane and how they relate to each other and the space around them. In the way this is done, it is clear color and shapes are as much the subject of these works as are the bottles and jars themselves. The effect is that these works must be understood as a modern synthesis of representation and abstraction.

The Wrapped Objects were first exhibited at the Fine Arts Center Galleries at the University of Rhode Island in Kingston. They are included in the collections of the Library of Congress, Fogg Art Museum, Yale University Art Gallery and Memorial Art Gallery. In the catalog for the exhibition, Judith Tolnick Champa describes the work: In her idiosyncratic pastel drawings known as Wrapped Objects – Schwartz’s demonstrated expertise in figural art is brought to bear on a powerful sense of the self-containment associated with still-life, rather than figural practice. The Wrapped Objects ultimately derive from a campaign of intensive study of anatomy and its intimate historical correlative, drapery’s connection to the human body. The dazzling drapery interpretations of legendary figurative painters including the 16th-century Venetian, Titian; the 17th-century Spaniard, Diego Velazquez, the Fleming, Anthony Van Dyck and the 19th-century French artist Jean-August-Dominique Ingres, offers models of an art historical sort cited by the artist as the first Wrapped Objects were created and conjured by her work. Schwartz understands the accomplished pictorial means which these exemplars developed for interpreting their complex royal/aristocratic subjects. The subject is present beneath the drapery, but its individual shape and character – clues to its identity – are conveyed only through the push and pull, the tightness or laxness, the intricate surface wrap. And in the process the surface wrap gains its own freestanding vitality and identity.

Understanding shifts as Schwartz’s mysterious subjects become curious Wrapped Objects and figuration melds into a re-emergent sensation of still life. Exactly what is being represented is of less importance than how pictorial effects are achieved. Technically, Schwartz works in pastel but without the assistance of a coarse granular paper. She chooses a more finely grained and technically unforgiving surface, so that textures must be constructed through precise calibration of light and dark tonalities. Her pastels behave almost like charcoals as the richness of blue-blacks contrasts with the smooth matrix of white paper.

Emerson Dorsch is pleased to announce a special installation at the gallery during the week of Art Basel Miami Beach:

CEMETERIUM is a sculpture garden based on the layout and form of a cemetery that will take place in Miami during the week of art fairs, December 1-7. Featuring work by over thirty artists, CEMETERIUM is a hybrid form that takes inspiration from both art fairs and cemeteries, to create a critical context that celebrates the persistence of objects beyond this one week and beyond an artists’ lifetime. Each artist was invited to to present an object, installation or performance on a four by eight foot plot within a fifty by fifty foot yard. In a week where there is an astounding number of artworks on display, and a frenzy of events stacked up throughout each day,CEMETERIUM gathers together a group of artists and objects that reflect an awareness of both the artist at work and the artist at rest.
