“This room is humid with an ambiance of electrical whirring and water churning. It smells like cooking and a cat. It’s my house and I live here. There’s my chair I put it there.* My plant corner is delineated by the pink glow of a UV light that hangs from the ceiling.” -Odessa Straub

*Diana Ross, It’s My House, written by Diana Ross, composed and produced by Ashford & Simpson, released by Motown, 1979

Watch for a review of the exhibition in the February issue of the Brooklyn Rail!

SENTIENTS BY LALEH KHORRAMIAN OPENS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS 
FINE ARTS CENTER GALLERY

  
January 15 — February 23, 2020
Opening Reception: Friday, January 17th
 

Laleh Khorramian's solo exhibition Sentients opens on January 15th at UARK's Fine Arts Center Gallery. Laleh Khorramian’s practice incorporates the cosmological thinking of ancient cultures, their complex mythologies, and evocative spiritual vocabularies, with her imagined worlds, synthesizing them into “histories” that are both futuristic and ancient. 

Khorramian approaches her work as a series of experiments with the process of chance as a starting point for discovering possibilities of the unknown, whose details and outcomes she then investigates and reposition. In a vacillating process between macro and micro views of painted landscapes and incidental spaces, Khorramian integrates fiction with spectacle and theater to explore the transience of living matter and beings and its cycles of depletion and plenitude. By removing cultural or historical specificity from her narratives, she uses the ordinary to portray the epic, the universal, and the transient, in a search for worlds just beyond the concrete, material one around us.

NICOLE CHERUBINI: Shaking the Trees 

Tang Teaching Museum at Skidmore College
Oct 19, 2019 - Sep 11, 2021

"Shaking the Trees is the third exhibition in a series that invites an artist to imagine what a museum community space can be. Drawing upon the architecture of the Tang Teaching Museum’s mezzanine, Shaking the Trees will create a new community space for conversation and contemplation. Artist Nicole Cherubini forges connections between history, materials, purpose, and function in her sculptural works by integrating multiple elements such as platforms, frames, prints, wood armatures, plants, and found objects. The installation builds upon the artist’s longstanding exploration of the history of objects and space, and will juxtapose ceramic tiling, modular seating, sculpture, and works from the Tang Teaching Museum’s collection. In the next year, Cherubini will create a wall to floor installation of custom-designed ceramic tiles and develop a program of dialogues and performances in the space." - exhibition text courtesy of the Tang Teaching Museum

AMERICAN WOMEN: THE INFINITE JOURNEY

An exhibition featuring ODESSA STRAUB
La Patinoire Royale - Galerie Valérie Bach
Brussels, Belgium

January 8 — March 21, 2020
 
"How can we analyse and interpret language, art or history in terms of our family roots, culture or sex? How do we shape our identity or gender? Here there is a transition going from Carolee Schneemann and Mary Kelly to Macon Reed, Sara Cwynar and Chloe Wise. How then do we regard the body of a woman? In turn an object of desire, curiosity, fear, even exotic as in the context of colonial oppression or evidence of passing time when set in the tradition of vanities...these different perspectives are analysed and embraced by Cassi Namoda and Theodora Allen. But the body, this envelope, is as much of the mind as of the flesh, source of eroticism and unfeigned pleasure. Loie Hollowell, Julie Curtiss and Amy Lincoln explore this, asserting a sensitive feminist commitment, without rejecting the attraction of aesthetic form, along the lines of Kiki Smith. In these times when the codes linked to instruments of power, privilege and archetypal figures are being taken apart, the sixteen artists presented at La Patinoire Royale confront these themes freely, through painting, drawing, photography, photomontage, video or installation, in order to further the dialogue." - exhibition text courtesy of Galarie Valérie Bach

TINY THINGS


Susan Collis, Nina Katchadourian, Kate Newby, Liliana Porter, Zoë Sheehan Saldaña, Barb Smith, Julianne Swartz, and Stefanie Victor
 
February 1 - March 15, 2020
Opening Reception: Saturday, February 1, 6-8 pm

 

The overall impact of Tiny Things will be a slow reveal. Many of the works won’t be discernible, or even visible from afar, requiring us moving into focus. Tiny Things is an antidote to over-inundated visual environments, and counterbalance to loud, forceful ways of communicating. It is an anti-egoic break, rewarding close attention and quiet engagement.
