“Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else’s opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation.” Oscar Wilde    Narrative / Identity – Open Call for group exhibition   As a means of grappling with the flux of identity, narratives are a necessary part of individual and social constructs. Whether internal or external, narratives define how we see ourselves and others. Which facts construct our identities? Do we have a variety of identities and what makes us change them? Is the identity we display in public different than our private one? What happens if we take an identity of another person? Does an ID or passport tell the most important things about us? If you don’t have one does it mean you are invisible? Does education and knowledge about society and politics change our identity?   For the first group show of 2011, February 3 – March 12, curated by Nicole Bebout and Sonja Hofstetter, The AC Institute seeks to investigate the ways in which narrative is used by contemporary artists to construct or demolish our ideas of self and other. Whether through guerrilla-like disruption, ambiguity or fantasy inspired story-telling, we are seeking artists who see narrative as essential to their artistic identity.   Focusing on experimental, installation, and new media work, AC seeks submissions from contemporary artists, and others, working in any medium.

Is the identity we display in public different than our private one?

EXTREME PAINTING @ GALERIE D’ESTE July 14 - August 15 Vernissage Wednesday July 14 from 5 pm to 8 pm Galerie D’Este is proud to present the group show “Extreme Painting”, part of a series of exhibitions uniting sixteen Montreal galleries. The gallery will present works by Paul Bourgault, Ángel Mateo Charris, Costa Dvorezky, Drew Simpson and Jean-Pierre Ruel on the theme of the human figure. Each painter places the figure in context (or out of context) to elaborate on the body with his own vision.   Paul Bourgault uses vibrant colours and modeled flesh and draperies to create dynamic sacred spaces spilling over with abundance. The fragmented, Classicizing bodies swirl among food wrappings, labels, print cutouts and enlarged dot-matrix textures in dense compositions that are truly excessive.   In widescreen figuration, the work of Ángel Mateo Charris surprises with cinematic angles and simple but equivocal compositions. His costumed figures skulk anonymously at the centre of bizarre and irrational circumstances under a sky reminiscent of De Chirico, confronted inconclusively with symbols drawn from popular culture.   Costa Dvorezky’s « Jump » series explores the figure at the apex of a movement, floating against an abstract ground which drips down around them. Broad strokes define the play of light on muscles in a tribute to the Mannerist technique of distorting anatomy to enhance the sense of gesture. Through his amalgamation of genres, Dvorezky’s contemporary practice honors his heritage as a painter.   Drew Simpson’s arrangements of objects, resembling curiosity cabinets, reveal the interior spaces of homes in the hyper-naturalist tradition of classical Dutch still-life painting. The lush textures of wood paneling, velvet, flowers and fruit are set on edge by elements of strangeness referring to war and death, be it a human jawbone in a floral arrangements or a miniature Spitfire, guns blazing, arcing around an antique chair. This human element disturbs the space, troubling the viewer and offering an ironic comment on the relationship between the human being and his “interior”. Jean-Pierre Ruel’s works provoke passion and reflection with his extraordinary brushwork and destabilizing content. The artist paints with an inspiration that is as much visceral as spiritual, his stroke at once instinctive and controlled. He presents silent, emotionally charged interactions between figures who seem to suddenly have fallen silent. The viewer is left to situate herself within these strange meetings, intrigued by the sensation of having just walked in on something.   Address: 1329 Greene Ave., Montreal (Quebec)

For Immediate Release Art exhibition “Abstract Experiences” Thursday, July 8th The Samsung Experience at the Time Warner Center 3rd Floor 10 Columbus Circle New York, NY 10019-1158 Matt Nahoum’s debut has been a long time coming. Born and raised in the Bronx, the Rabbit, as he is known, is the quintessential New York artist: inspired by everything around him, yet with a slightly twisted interpretation; his city roots lend him a context afforded only to “actual” New Yorkers. The Rabbit is by no means new to art- indeed, he spent his entire youth, all the way through high school, painting and drawing- but after moving upstate to attend college, and then to San Diego to pursue a job opportunity, he “just stopped painting,” as he puts it. “There was a lack of inspiration, and I just couldn’t find my voice.” Four years after moving back to his hometown, though, the Rabbit has found his voice and he is ready to speak. “When I left New York I was somewhat disillusioned with the city and it was kind of like we broke up,” he says. “But art heals and when I came back, the new burst of creativity I had almost felt like therapy, and that allowed me to come to terms with who I really am-both as a person and an artist.”  Held at the Time Warner Center’s Samsung Experience,  “Abstract Experiences” is both retrospective and reawakening. He has revisited old works and created new ones, tapping in to his newfound maturity as an artist. The exhibition will be held Thursday, July 8th from 6pm-8pm.   About the Rabbit Eager to create the world through his eyes, Matt Rabbit has been expressing his most inner thoughts and expressions since he was a child. Matt Nahoum is textural abstract artist, living in Brooklyn New York. His work comes from chaotic places in his mind that come to life as he puts feeling to canvas.

Thursday, July 8th

The Samsung Experience at the

Time Warner Center

3rd Floor

10 Columbus Circle

New York, NY 10019-1158

Matt Nahoum’s debut has been a long time coming. Born and raised in the Bronx, the Rabbit, as he is known, is the quintessential New York artist: inspired by everything around him, yet with a slightly twisted interpretation; his city roots lend him a context afforded only to “actual” New Yorkers.

The Rabbit is by no means new to art- indeed, he spent his entire youth, all the way through high school, painting and drawing- but after moving upstate to attend college, and then to San Diego to pursue a job opportunity, he “just stopped painting,” as he puts it. “There was a lack of inspiration, and I just couldn’t find my voice.”

Four years after moving back to his hometown, though, the Rabbit has found his voice and he is ready to speak. “When I left New York I was somewhat disillusioned with the city and it was kind of like we broke up,” he says. “But art heals and when I came back, the new burst of creativity I had almost felt like therapy, and that allowed me to come to terms with who I really am-both as a person and an artist.” 

Held at the Time Warner Center’s Samsung Experience,  “Abstract Experiences” is both retrospective and reawakening. He has revisited old works and created new ones, tapping in to his newfound maturity as an artist. The exhibition will be held Thursday, July 8th from 6pm-8pm.

 

About the Rabbit

Eager to create the world through his eyes, Matt Rabbit has been expressing his most inner thoughts and expressions since he was a child. Matt Nahoum is textural abstract artist, living in Brooklyn New York. His work comes from chaotic places in his mind that come to life as he puts feeling to canvas. Art heals, and Matt uses creativity as therapy. It keeps him here. Keeps him from running. Run rabbit, run.

 

About the show

“Abstract Experiences” marks the debut of emerging abstract artist Matt Nahoum, and brings to life his unique vision and expression. The show will feature some of his most visionary works as well as some of Samsung’s cutting edge visual display technology.

The Keyhole Sessions is holding it’s first gallery exhibition, entitled SneakPeek. It’s an exhibition to celebrate the loss of inhibition, and will be showcasing over a year’s worth of debaucherous drawing and photography.The Keyhole Sessions are life-drawing with edge.

Facilitated by William Huffman, Associate Director, Toronto Arts Council. loop Gallery is pleased to announce exhibitions by loop members Lorène Bourgeois entitled Près du corps and Chris Dow entitled Landscapes. Lorène Bourgeois’ Près du corps, “close to the body”, is a series of large-scale drawings in Conté and charcoal exploring the relationship of cloth and clothing to the body and head.   The artist is interested in the physical qualities of clothing - the manner by which garments may frame or envelop the body – the similarity of folds, buttons, and stitched openings to skin, creases, and scars.  Près du corps is a reflection upon the ambiguous qualities of clothing and head wear, and upon the strange ability of such objects to oscillate between function, absurdity, and menace.   Born in France, Lorène Bourgeois has been living in Canada since 1984.  Trained in Paris, Philadelphia and Halifax (MFA, NSCAD, 1986), her work in drawing, painting, and printmaking, has been exhibited across Canada, France, Korea, Russia, and the United States.  She is represented in numerous private and public collections.  Lorène Bourgeois gratefully acknowledges the support of The Canada Council for the Arts and the Ontario Arts Council.    Lorène will speak about her work during a Question & Answer Session at the gallery on Saturday, July 10, 3pm.   Chris Dow explains, “For myself, painting is, in essence, an ethereal endeavour. Painting requires exploring feelings or perception that come from some place not understood and a place where words do not exist.  The act of painting is experienced and the subject matter is a convenient starting point. I like painting outdoors and the way this requires intuitive response. Working in the studio forces me to take a contemplative approach, this is often more of a problem solving process where the problem itself is not an intellectual one.”   Chris Dow has spent several of the past six years living abroad in both Japan and Australia, writing software and painting in his spare time.  Dow has exhibited in galleries across Canada as well as in Italy through the Ontario College of Art & Design.   Please join the artists in celebrating the opening reception on Saturday, June 19th from 2-5 pm.                                                        loop Gallery1273 Dundas Street West, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M6J 1X8 (3 doors west of Dovercourt).
