tell me about Team Lab studio of multimedia art an there Phenomena in Abu Dhabi and about Turrells visit to art-world events and what it was like on the street. Likewise, if anything, it was to be expected that any of the artists involved would be here. Despite the existence of nine other artists collective, one of which is now on its way to setting up a collectives in Israel, it may not be surprising that Miriam Schapiro was invited to join the collective. Most recently, she has been making things, and she is still making things.The gallery opened its doors with such a show as this one, as well as an exhibition of paintings by Miriam Schapiro. This was also, unfortunately, the first exhibition of Schapiros work I ever saw in New York. The show consisted mainly of works made by Schapiro in the past two years, with only two pieces by Miriam Schapiro: a pair of paintings on canvas titled Bratutzky Days (Brasheval Days) and a third called The Months of the Year, each with just one shadow on a brick wall. The brick wall paintings were hung in what is called an independent installation, with the shadows falling on the wall just below the ceiling. Two of the shadow paintings are called Bratutzky Days and the fourth, Bratutzky Days Beyond, all 2004. Two of the shadow paintings are called Bratutzky Days, and the last, Bratutzky Days of the Year, all 2004. Schapiro is still very much involved with those shadows. And she has kept them hidden, as if they might shatter into smoke if they are not put out of the way.The shadows seem to be emanating from the shadows, in the same way that they emanate from the viewer. The paintings also appear to have been painted with different techniques.
tell me about Team Lab studio of multimedia art an there Phenomena in Abu Dhabi and about Turrell, once again, the exacting director of the University of South Florida Art Museum. It is a dichotomy that should not be allowed to be simplified, but instead treated as a constantly shifting relationship with the history of art.Thus far, no one expects to be transformed into an early '60s archeologist, the archeologist, as Andrei Tarkovlev once described his training as, being merely a doll-maker for the museum, could easily be ignored. The purpose of such a project is to examine what happens when the museum isnt there. Tarkovlev, in this case, has included the results of this investigation in his new installation, and in doing so, he has thrust the question of the museum back into the modernist debate. The construction of this installation, entitled Turrell Foundation, 2015–16, is a kind of organization room, its floor plan framed by two separate, highly reflective aluminum panels. The panels are mounted one atop the other, raising the floor surface above the wall. The underside of the panel is a two-dimensional tarpauline covering almost entirely with cotton wool. In its subtle gradations, the wool creates a finished, very gray-blue, black-and-white pattern. In addition, the presence of the wool creates a tautness, a sort of spine, in the low, lean space between the panels. The cotton (and wool) creates a luminous richness that mimics the stuttering light of the painted wall and also provides a contrast to the white panels, which are mostly opaque, suggesting a spatial separation. The wool-covered panels, reflecting the whiteness of the fabric, also create a tense and troubled atmosphere, one in which the cotton-covered panels dominate the lower-left, lower-right edges of the panels. This is a situation not unlike that of the one in which the white panels tend to diffuse the color of the painted surface.
tell me about Team Lab studio of multimedia art an there Phenomena in Abu Dhabi and about Turrells quasi-pneumonic spunk and jet—or perhaps about the schadenfreude that precipitates and abets such efforts? The video, which is shot in a darkroom, was made in black-and-white, linear, and meticulously lit. But, as the highlights of the eight-part piece, it was shot in mono, and the camera never took a single photo. The shadows were never created; they were painted and real-estate printed in white-gray or black, as the color was chosen and executed by a hand-made print press. The interstices between the visible and the invisible—in these days of high-definition digital photography—were a forbidden step in an increasingly conventional technological era.Inside the main space, photos from the past four years were collaged into a miniature display case that created an immersive space for an immersive viewing experience. The title, Ditch Time, 2018, refers to the time period from 2017 through 2018 that Mirabilis chose to illustrate with dark and light boxes. This systematic arrangement of the images neatly divided the space of the gallery into nine sections, each divided into discrete color sections. The dark sections, which were unveiled in the video, were composed of a number of distinct sequences of images, all shot with a single lens, indicating the artists desire to show temporal differences, between images. The light sections, selected from the video, were arranged in chronological order. The devices were also used to create a dense, hypnotic space, where time was expressed as bodies, as opposed to moments of movement or flight. Mirabilis uses the same kind of vision to engage with the natural world, through photographic experiments, as well as in the space of the imagination. The spatial and conceptual space that Mirabili created for Ditch Time consisted of seven rooms, each designed to be occupied during the course of the exhibition.
tell me about Team Lab studio of multimedia art an there Phenomena in Abu Dhabi and about Turrell and the pop-psych malaise that is presently the apothecary of the modern Art of America (though the band is no longer present in it). Now, however, the themes and techniques of the industry (and the critical and commercial positions in it) are being reexamined and reinterpreted by an array of artists, from the New York School to the New Jersey School. But, once again, the representation of the abstract art world remains mired in consumerism and in a miasma of commercial insecurity.Until recently, the most singularly American of the modernists (and the only one in the museum that does not date back to the early 60s), Ad Reinhardt worked with acrylics, colored-pencils, and a pigment-free pen and ink drawing technique. He was the precursor to the late Steve McQueen and Tony Smith, and the most important contemporary to become part of the visual vocabulary of the 80s—not to mention the most popular. In 1989, he completed the first of the Art of America exhibitions at the New York Public Library. The New York exhibition, which was organized by the Museum of Modern Art, New York, and included 120 works dating from 1957 through 1987, introduced many contemporary artists to the themes and techniques of Reinhardt.These exhibitions constituted a turning point for many of the artists who had followed him, from Mies van der Rohe, Alice Aycock, and Jean Dubuffet to Robert Morris and Bruce Nauman. Three of the artists in the show—Gordon Matta-Clark, Stephen Sawka, and Lewis Baltz—had studied with Reinhardt in the course of the artmaking process. Although the art world, the art market, and the art schools have had a number of styles in common, the manner in which the contemporary art worlds primary function is to put out the hot air, the latest issue, and the latest taste in art history has changed.
