Khánh H. Lê: Making Memories While We Wait at Gallery d’Arte

Gallery d’Arte 548 West 28th Street, Suite 328, New York, NY 10001

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Gallery d’Arte, 548 West 28th Street, Suite 328, New York City proudly presents NARS Foundation’s fifth annual juried solo exhibition Khánh H. Lê: Making Memories While We Wait. The show will run from November 17^th through December 3^rd, 2016 with an Opening Reception on Thursday, November 17^th from 6-8PM.

NARS Foundation is proud to present its fifth annual juried solo exhibition: Making Memories While We Wait, a show featuring the work of Khánh H. Lê. Probing his personal and familial histories in an attempt to carve out a cultural identity for himself, Vietnamese-born Lê mixes cultural signifiers with abstraction and popular culture to create new work that can be seen as either pure abstraction, identity-based art or both. Lê was selected by juror, Marshall N. Price, Nancy Hanks Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art, Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University, for his series that “provides a framework for understanding how immigrant communities are part of the larger fabric of this country, yet can remain relatively invisible to the greater public.” The exhibition, generously hosted by Gallery d’Arte, in Chelsea, will open on November 17th, 6-8pm.

Lê graduated with his BFA from Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville and his MFA from Syracuse University. His work has been exhibited at the Hunterdon Art Museum (Clinton, NJ), Visual Arts at Chautauqua Institution (Chautauqua, NY), Corcoran Gallery of Art (Washington, DC), Vox Populi (Philadelphia, PA), Delaware Center for the Contemporary Arts (Wilmington, DE), Arlington Arts Center (Arlington, VA), Honfleur Gallery (Washington, DC), DC Arts Center (Washington, DC), Washington Project for the Arts (Washington, DC), and Transformer (Washington, DC). The DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities awarded Lê the Artist Fellowship for the Visual Arts in 2016. Lê continues to live and work in Washington, DC, where he actively explores and questions the notion of identities through the lenses of culture and memories.

New York Art Residency and Studios Foundation is a non-profit arts organization committed to supporting emerging and underrepresented artists and curators. The annual Juried Solo Exhibition Program provides visual artists who have a strong body of work with the opportunity to present their work to a wider audience. The program aims to nurture creative inspiration and foster innovative cross-pollination of ideas by presenting the most thought provoking and visually compelling artwork being produced today.

NARS programs are made possible in part through the generous support from Con Edison and with public funds from the New York State Council on the Arts, administrated by the Brooklyn Arts Council.

Job opportunity at University of Hawai’i at Manoa!

Direct link is at

http://hawaii.edu/art/about/search2016-2017.html

——————–

University of Hawai‘i at Manoa just launched a search for a full-time, tenure-track faculty member in sculpture. Seeking your help in distributing it to the APA network because we are in particular seeking someone with a specific interest in teaching and practicing sculpture relevant to the context of Hawai‘i and the Asia Pacific. The ideal applicant has a fluid practice that incorporates both the material and conceptual languages of contemporary sculpture. The applicant also ideally has a vision for the future of sculpture and art in general.

——————–

Dear friends and colleagues,

The Department of Art and Art History at the University of Hawai‘i at Manoa (UHM) is conducting a search for a full-time, tenure-track faculty member in the specialization of sculpture. The position description is posted here. I am sending this to you, as I am hoping that you will circulate this opportunity among those who may be interested in applying.

OVERVIEW

UHM is Research I liberal arts public university located in Honolulu on the island of O‘ahu. Our campus has approximately 19,000 students and is the flagship of the ten-campus University of Hawai‘i system.

The UHM Department of Art and Art History supports a broad vision of artistic and sculptural practice. The sculpture area is one among many studios dedicated to thinking about art and creative practice as an intellectually and materially rich method of inquiry.

We are one of the largest departments at UH Manoa, serving over 300 majors, and the only master’s degree granting program in the visual arts in the State of Hawai‘i. In addition to serving our majors who are from Hawai‘i, the continental U.S., and around world, each semester students from other disciplines enroll in our art studio and art history classes to fulfill their university requirements, for the pleasure of exploring a creative medium, and/or learning the richness of global artistic traditions.

The department offers degree programs in the disciplines of Studio Art and Art History. We award a BA in each; BFA and MFA in Studio Art; and MA in Art History. The BFA and MFA include concentrations in ceramics, drawing/painting, electronic art, fiber, glass, graphic design, print media (digital imaging, photography, printmaking), and sculpture. The Art History area is unique in the US for its emphasis on Asia, the Pacific and modern/contemporary.

Our building is centrally located on the campus. It includes two galleries, a visiting artist/scholar program, and the John Young Museum of Art in Krauss Hall. The museum showcases John Young’s collection of historical objects from Asia and the Pacific in rotation, and is also a learning laboratory that serves our Art History program and the university’s Museum Studies program. Additional information about the department and faculty may be found at hawaii.edu/art.

Thank you for sharing this information. Questions can be directed to Professor Mary Babcock, Search Committee Chair.

Witness to Wartime: Takuichi Fujii at Boise Art Museum, Curated by Barbara Johns, PhD

WITNESS TO WARTIME
TAKUICHI FUJII

CURATED BY BARBARA JOHNS, PhD

Minidoka, montage with fence and landmarks

Witness to Wartime: Takuichi Fujii introduces an artist whose work opens a window to historical events, issues, and ideas far greater than the individual. Takuichi Fujii (1891 – 1964) bore witness to his life in America and, most especially, to his experience during World War II. Fujii left a remarkably comprehensive visual record of this important time in American history, and offers a unique perspective on his generation. This stunning body of work sheds light on events that most Americans did not experience, but whose lessons remain salient today.

Takuichi Fujii was fifty years old when war broke out between the United States and Japan. In a climate of increasing fear and racist propaganda, he became one of 120,000 people of Japanese ancestry on the West Coast forced to leave their homes and live in geographically isolated incarceration camps. He and his family, together with most ethnic Japanese from Seattle, were sent first to the Puyallup temporary detention camp on the Washington State Fairgrounds, and in August 1942 were transferred to the Minidoka Relocation Center in southern Idaho.

Confronting such circumstances, Fujii began an illustrated diary that spans the years from his forced removal in May 1942 to the closing of Minidoka in October 1945. In nearly 250 ink drawings ranging from public to intimate views, the diary depicts detailed images of the incarceration camps, and the inmates’ daily routines and pastimes. Several times Fujii depicts himself in the act of drawing, a witness to the experience of confinement. He also produced over 130 watercolors that reiterate and expand upon the diary, augmenting those scenes with many new views, as well as other aesthetic and formal considerations of painting. Additionally the wartime work includes several oil paintings and sculptures, notably a carved double portrait of Fujii and his wife.

After the war Fujii moved to Chicago, which had become home to a large Japanese American community under the government’s resettlement program. He continued to paint, experimenting broadly in abstraction, and toward the end of his life produced a series of boldly gestural black-and-white abstract expressionist paintings. These, and his American realist paintings of the 1930s, frame the wartime work that is his singular legacy and remains relevant today.

Selections from this powerful exhibition will be featured at the Boise Art Museum, Boise, ID, in the exhibition, Minidoka: Artist as Witness (October 8, 2016 – January 15, 2017).

Gallery X & Y: Michiko Itatani, “Starry Night Encounter” September 9, 2016 – October 22, 2016

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Gallery X & Y: Michiko Itatani, “Starry Night Encounter” September 9, 2016 – October 22, 2016
Opening Reception: Friday, September 9, 2016, 6-9pm

Linda Warren Projects: 327 N Aberdeen St #151, Chicago, IL 60607

Untitled copy — Michiko Itatani, “HyperCharge” painting from Encounter HCE-3, 2015, oil on canvas, 84″ x 72″

“Starry Night Encounter” is my personal translation of the Japanese term “ ichi-go ichi-e”. It is an idea found in Zen Buddhism and in the concept of the transitory nature of things. The term is particularly adopted in the Japanese tea ceremony: a 7’x7’ space, a guest, a simple serving of a cup of tea.

One should delight in each encounter as if it were a “once-in-a-lifetime” occurrence. Treat every meeting as if it is the first and the last because it may not come again, or the same meeting repeats infinite times.

In my recent work, I am going back to this very basic feeling in a personal way.

I appreciate every encounter with a person, a creature, a tree, a flower, a rock, a room, a book, a song, a painting or a life.

(Excerpt from Artist Statement) Michiko Itatani

Linda Warren Projects is honored to launch the 2016 fall season with “Starry Night Encounter”, a solo exhibition by one of Chicago’s most prolific and esteemed painters, Michiko Itatani. Presented in both Gallery X and Gallery Y is a wide selection of new work, chosen from several epic series or “chapters”– Cosmic Wanderlust, Hyperbarouqe, Cosmic Theatre, Personal Codes, to name a few – which the artist fluidly intertwines and navigates between. From the macro of the cosmos to the micro of our shared existence, from her monumental to her miniature paintings, Itatani’s profound creative power continually awe-inspires and persuades new meaning.

Using a fictional and symbolic space, I condense experienced and imagined multi-layered encountering events.

For over 40 years, Itatani has been “writing” a poetic transcendental fiction novel with paint. As the ongoing narrative continues to unfold, her emblematic imaginative paintings deliberately suggest that hope and curiosity are vital to the human spirit. It is a broad, and at times, cryptic tale, yet her philosophical faith in humanity proves ever-more powerful. Whether it is in libraries, the theater, in nature, or a cosmic tête- à-tête, Itatani thrusts the viewer into wondrous locations where knowledge, science, and inquisitiveness intersect.

Itatani’s paintings are the places where we confront, discover, and imagine ourselves. Where learning, books, music, and literature connect us to our essence. Where our communal soul, one that is truly rooted in the wonders of the macrocosm, drives us to question our place within it. Itatani is a powerhouse, she is the spacecraft landing, she is the library, the author,

the narrator. She paints our consciousness and illustrates our vulnerability. Each painting invites us to visualize and ponder. Her mission is at once vast and simple – explore, inquire, appreciate, reach out, and recognize our accomplishments, and all the unknown and known beauty of the universe. The selected works illuminates the beauty of such temporal “encounters”.

This remarkable exhibition will be the first segment of an ongoing exhibition and partnership with ZHOU B Art Center. The second segment titled High-Point Contact will be on view at ZHOU B Art Center October 17,2016 – December 30, 2016 and will feature paintings spanning 40 years of Itatani’s career. Accompanying both exhibitions will be individual catalogs, featuring essays by Jason Foumberg.

Michiko Itatani was born in Kobe, Japan, and received her MFA in 1976 from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, where she is currently a Professor. Itatani has shown widely around the globe, and her work can be found in such prestigious collections as the Art Institute of Chicago; the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago; the National Museum of Contemporary Art, Seoul, Korea; Museu d’Art Contemporani de Barcelona (MACBA), Barcelona, Spain; and Tokoha Museum, Shizuoka, Japan. Itatani has been the recipient of numerous awards and honors including the John Simon Guggenheim Fellowship, the Union League Club of Chicago’s “Distinguished Artists” Membership Award, and a National Endowment for Art, Artist’s Fellowship amongst many others. Itatani is represented by Linda Warren Projects, and this marks her second solo exhibition with the gallery.

THE CULTURAL IMPACT OF PAINTING & PRINTED MEDIA:
Artist lecture & creative lab

We ensure our histories are not lost by documenting them and Lenore Chinn has been documenting the broader LGBTQ community in San Francisco for over 30 years. Her larger photo-realist paintings began as community portraits, of her friends really, and are now a beautiful and sometimes haunting history. Lenore wraps up this series of workshop with a special artist lecture. She’ll discuss some of the highlights of her career as a painter and social justice founder of some of the most influential LGBTQ and Asian arts organizations in the Bay Area including the Lesbians in the Visual Arts, Queer Cultural Center, and Asian American Women Artists.

We’ll include an open Q&A section to open up the floor for conversation. Also view printed works inspired by the stories from the Dragonfruit Project and see works from other LGBTQ AAPI artists. The lecture will immediately be followed by an open creative lab where we’ll provide materials to create works around the LGBTQ AAPI communities and stories. You’ll see art that’s already been created and share space with other working artists. This is a great opportunity to share creative space with other working LGBTQ AAPI artists.

PROVIDED: A variety of creative materials will be provided to create works in class paper, pens, scanner, printer, glue, tape, scissors, etc.

INSTRUCTORS

Lenore Chinn: Artist
Mia Nakano: Director, Visibility Project

We will be requesting that all participants sign release forms at the beginning of each workshop allowing us to publish scans, audio stories, photos, artwork and other materials created in the workshop as a part of the Resilience Archives at http://www.resiliencearchives.com.
