‘Strange Days and Other Anomalies’ at Light and Space Contemporary Ramon Raphael Banzon, Miggy Borja, Raffy La Madrid, Paul Bryan Miranda, and Mek Yambao come together in their first ever group exhibition as an official art group “Strange Days”, which opens on Sunday 6PM, November 13 at the Gallery 3 of Light and Space Contemporary. In their show titled “Strange Days and Other Anomalies”, the group discovers unchartered terrain played out in unusual settings and circumstances. Through observation or pure imagination, strange encounters are conceived, which leads the mind to question its very own boundaries and re-examine what one considers “Strange”.  The exhibit simultaneously opens with solo exhibitions of Kaloy Olavides and Beejay Esber at the Galleries 1 and 2. All shows will run until November 28. Light and Space Contemporary is located at 53 Fairlane st. West Fairview, 1118 Quezon City, Philippines.

Adler/Beegan Exhibition at Arthur T. Kalaher Fine Art Brings Abstract Expressionism into the 21st Century     SOUTHAMPTON, NY, USA OCTOBER 28, 2011     ANDREW HART ADLER / CAROLYN BEEGAN:  FOR 4 HANDS     Arthur T. Kalaher Fine Art Gallery 28E Jobs Lane Southampton, NY 11968 631-204-0383      Exhibition Dates November 26 - December 17, 2011 Monday to Saturday:  10:00 am to 6:00 pm Sunday: 11:00 am to 5:00 pm     Opening Reception Saturday, November 26, 2011- 4:00 pm to 8:00 pm      This event is free and open to the public     Arthur T. Kalaher Fine Art has invited celebrated New York artists, Andrew Hart Adler and Carolyn Beegan to exhibit their collaborative works in the Southampton gallery over the holiday season.  The artists have created a true artistic “montage,” melding a collage of digital photographs and abstract expressionist painting into a cohesive, contemporary whole.   For those of you who can’t get enough of the Abstract Expressionists despite the monumental ABEX Show earlier this year and the current de Kooning retrospective at the MOMA, you will appreciate this duo’s work.  The Adler/Beegan combined works reflect consistent Abstract Expressionist themes, while at the same time interpreting them through a 21st century lens.  “True art collectors will immediately embrace these works not only because they represent a novel approach to Abstract Expressionism, but because they actively tease you between figure and abstraction and they have such vivid color and emotion,” says Arthur Kalaher, owner of the gallery.  “Both of them are important artists on their own, so when they come together collaboratively they create artistic synergy.  These pieces have such deep emotional impact and precise technique.”   Andrew Hart Adler was mentored by Willem de Kooning, one of the most important Abstract Expressionist artists of the 20th century.  His solo paintings grace the esteemed collections of the Center Georges Pompidou, Paris’ famous center for modern and contemporary art, the Parrish Art Museum in Southampton NY, the Nasher Museum at Duke University NC, among many others.  He has exhibited in many prestigious galleries around the world throughout his artistic career.       Carolyn Beegan is also a well-known painter and former flame of celebrity Billy Joel.  She considers herself “self-taught,” because her formal education is in computer science, which has actually become key in her collaboration with Adler as her manipulated digital images become the “primed” canvas from which Adler paints.  Her solo paintings are part of numerous well-respected private collections including:  rarified art collector/dealer Larry Gagosian, business magnate Ron Perelman, and celebrity entertainer Elton John, among many others.        “They have developed a unique creative process that melds complex digital photographic manipulation and physical hand-paint work in an iterative, repetitive sequence,” Arthur Kalaher describes.  “It is very original!”  Their work is relevant in the 21st century because it reflects the continued infusion of technology and digital media into our every day lives to the point where the lines between it and physical reality are blurred, just as in their pieces.  “Once you know how they created their works, you see the works in a completely new light, which makes them even more stimulating and inspiring,” explains Mr. Kalaher.   This is definitely one of the must-see exhibitions of the holiday season, especially if you are interested in seeing how 21st century art is evolving and coming into its own.     Please feel free to call or e-mail the gallery owner, Arthur T. Kalaher, if you need any further information or have questions.  Please contact by e-mail if this release is used for print, online, or any other form of press publication.

ART TORONTO 2011, CANADA’S ONLY MODERN AND CONTEMPORARY INTERNATIONAL ART FAIR, RETURNS TO TORONTO OCTOBER 28 TO 31 Toronto, September 12, 2011 — Collectors, curators and art enthusiasts will converge on Toronto at the end of October to experience the twelfth edition of Art Toronto - a four-day fair which showcases exhibits by 109 leading and emerging international galleries from 13 countries. Art Toronto 2011 runs from October 28 to 31, and features alternative spaces curated by The Drake Hotel, Canadian Art magazine, the Art Gallery of York University and the Art Dealers Association of Canada. Other highlights of the fair include solo exhibitions, installations and curated projects by renowned artists such as Andy Warhol, Kent Monkman, Edward Burtynsky, Chuck Close and many more. An Opening Night Preview to benefit the Art Gallery of Ontario will launch the fair on October 27. Media are invited to a special preview tour of the fair on October 27, before it opens to the public. “Art Toronto is more than a place to buy and sell art, it’s also about opportunity: opportunities for galleries to meet artists, fellow dealers and curators,” said Linel Rebenchuk, of Art Toronto.  “It also allows visitors to see the best of what the art world has to offer, and gives attendees the opportunity to learn and take part in forums, interviews, performances and panel discussions.” Special to Art Toronto 2011   Art Toronto 2011 Media Preview Tour – Thursday October 27th at 10am and Friday October 28th at 10am Join us for breakfast and be among the first to experience Art Toronto 2011, hear about the special programming and witness the unveiling of the BMW art car. This preview tour will feature the work of Kent Monkman, Edward Burtynsky and other hidden gems and exhibits you won’t want to miss. Please RSVP to tkuld@artscom.ca. Opening Night Preview On Thursday, Oct. 27, 2011, Art Toronto will host a celebratory launch of the fair and a benefit for the Art Gallery of Ontario. At this special ticketed event, guests can preview and purchase works of art before the fair opens to the public, while enjoying cocktails and hors d’oeuvres, and socializing with some of today’s leading artists whose work is featured at Art Toronto. Visit http://www.ago.net/art-toronto-2011 for details and to purchase tickets.   The Art Game - Commissioned Flagship Project by Kent Monkman Curated by Steven Loft, The Art Game is a life-size maze, constructed from booth walls identical to the Art Fair itself, which takes the audience through an art world “funhouse”. The meandering corridors are made more confusing with the use of double-sided mirrors, trick windows, and fake doors, forcing the audience into a challenging experience of disorientation and multiple choice – not unlike the real art world. Dispersed throughout the maze are four “dioramas”, in the form of four small rooms, each one presenting the four key players in the Art Game: artist, curator/museum director, gallerist, and collector. Art Toronto 2011 MOCCA Benefit Edition With the support of Art Toronto, the Museum of Contemporary Canadian Art is pleased to announce Edward Burtynsky as the Art Toronto 2011 MOCCA Benefit Edition Artist. For more information go to www.mocca.ca or visit their booth during Art Toronto 2011. The BMW Art Car As the official vehicle of Art Toronto 2011, BMW Canada is proud to present iconic artist Andy Warhol’s 1979 Art Car – the BMW M1. Since 1975, artists from around the world have turned BMW automobiles into art, signifying a particular period through the Art Car program. The name Andy Warhol is the quintessence of pop art. He began his artistic career as a commercial artist and was successful in holding his own exhibitions in New York as early as 1952. BMW Canada is extremely proud to bring Warhol’s Art Car to Toronto as a means of sharing one of the company’s many cultural initiatives with Canadians. RBC Canadian Painting Competition Established in 1999, with the support of the Canadian Art Foundation, the RBC Canadian Painting Competition is a tribute to Canada’s artistic talent. The goal of the competition is to support and nurture emerging Canadian visual artists by providing them with a forum to display their artistic talent to the country and hopefully open doors to future opportunities. Selected works from previous year’s semi-finalists are on exhibit at Art Toronto 2011 or see the paintings of all 15 semi-finalists by visiting www.rbc.com/paintingcompetition.   Curatorial Program Entitled Place, this initiative is curated by William Huffman and explores the notion of navigation as a unifying theme – ultimately moving people through the fair and activating existing elements with a four artist, intervention-based mechanisms. This initiative is a presentation partnership between Toronto Arts Foundation (TAF), Art Dealers Association of Canada (ADAC) and Art Toronto.   Foodservices with Jon Sasaki: This commission initiative will be available exclusively through food services at Art Toronto. Sasaki will create artist multiples for take-away by altering cocktail napkins and paper plates in an effort to connect with the Art Toronto visitor and make unique, the banal consumables expected to be part of conventional hospitality service.   Mapping an Exhibition with William Huffman: This project is intended to highlight individual artworks already on display in the various booths by creating an exhibition that links the works physically and conceptually through route instructions. This component will be activated by a take-away map and instruction kit, which guides visitors through the fair occasionally highlighting works of particular interest at various gallery booths. Along with the map device, signage will identify the featured pieces and provide didactic or narrative information. The selection of works may change daily, thereby telling a different story and, incorporating as many galleries/artists as possible. Daily Lectures, Tours and Special Presentations Download the Art Toronto Show Guide at www.arttoronto.ca/show_guide/ for a complete list of daily programming.   Art Toronto 2011 could not happen without the support of our presenting sponsor, RBC Wealth Management, BMW – the Official Vehicle of Art Toronto, and AXA Art Insurance– the Official Art Insurer of Art Toronto.   About Art Toronto 2011 Join this gathering of some of the world’s best galleries and artists.

The meandering corridors are made more confusing with the use of double-sided mirrors, trick windows, and fake doors, forcing the audience into a challenging experience of disorientation and multiple choice – not unlike the real art world. Dispersed throughout the maze are four “dioramas”, in the form of four small rooms, each one presenting the four key players in the Art Game: artist, curator/museum director, gallerist, and collector. Art Toronto 2011 MOCCA Benefit Edition With the support of Art Toronto, the Museum of Contemporary Canadian Art is pleased to announce Edward Burtynsky as the Art Toronto 2011 MOCCA Benefit Edition Artist. For more information go to www.mocca.ca or visit their booth during Art Toronto 2011. The BMW Art Car As the official vehicle of Art Toronto 2011, BMW Canada is proud to present iconic artist Andy Warhol’s 1979 Art Car – the BMW M1. Since 1975, artists from around the world have turned BMW automobiles into art, signifying a particular period through the Art Car program. The name Andy Warhol is the quintessence of pop art. He began his artistic career as a commercial artist and was successful in holding his own exhibitions in New York as early as 1952. BMW Canada is extremely proud to bring Warhol’s Art Car to Toronto as a means of sharing one of the company’s many cultural initiatives with Canadians. RBC Canadian Painting Competition Established in 1999, with the support of the Canadian Art Foundation, the RBC Canadian Painting Competition is a tribute to Canada’s artistic talent. The goal of the competition is to support and nurture emerging Canadian visual artists by providing them with a forum to display their artistic talent to the country and hopefully open doors to future opportunities. Selected works from previous year’s semi-finalists are on exhibit at Art Toronto 2011 or see the paintings of all 15 semi-finalists by visiting www.rbc.com/paintingcompetition.   Curatorial Program Entitled Place, this initiative is curated by William Huffman and explores the notion of navigation as a unifying theme – ultimately moving people through the fair and activating existing elements with a four artist, intervention-based mechanisms. This initiative is a presentation partnership between Toronto Arts Foundation (TAF), Art Dealers Association of Canada (ADAC) and Art Toronto.   Foodservices with Jon Sasaki: This commission initiative will be available exclusively through food services at Art Toronto. Sasaki will create artist multiples for take-away by altering cocktail napkins and paper plates in an effort to connect with the Art Toronto visitor and make unique, the banal consumables expected to be part of conventional hospitality service.   Mapping an Exhibition with William Huffman: This project is intended to highlight individual artworks already on display in the various booths by creating an exhibition that links the works physically and conceptually through route instructions. This component will be activated by a take-away map and instruction kit, which guides visitors through the fair occasionally highlighting works of particular interest at various gallery booths. Along with the map device, signage will identify the featured pieces and provide didactic or narrative information. The selection of works may change daily, thereby telling a different story and, incorporating as many galleries/artists as possible.
