Neil Beloufa Jeremy Fish & Kenichi Yokono, Oct 29 – Dec 17, 2011 - Mark Moore Gallery Mark Moore Gallery presents Rise of the Underground, a two-person exhibition featuring new works by Jeremy Fish (CA) and Kenichi Yokono (Japan). Each adopting the age-old craft of woodcutting through a distinctive contemporary technique, Fish and Yokono employ bold and enchanting cartoon-like narratives to illustrate quotidian and pop cultural excerpts. Unmistakably handmade and remarkably intriguing, Yokono’s woodblocks explore the "horrors of everyday life," while Fish’s paintings and cut-outs reveal untapped histories often swept under the rug. Seemingly innocuous at first observation, each work is intricately laced with undercurrents of the sinister and the foreboding, saturated with cultural reflection, psychoanalysis, and social commentary in a fusion of high and low aesthetics. Drawing from a background of graphic design, screen-printing, and skateboard culture, San Francisco-based Jeremy Fish celebrates and revives the ancient tradition of storytelling.

Makoto Tojiki Edward Burra Edward Burra (29 March 1905 – 22 October 1976) was an English painter, draughtsman, and printmaker, best known for his depictions of the urban underworld, black culture and the Harlem scene of the 1930s. Biography[edit] Burra was born near Rye, East Sussex,[1] and attended preparatory school, but later had to be withdrawn due to anaemia and rheumatic fever. Burra studied at Chelsea School of Art from 1921–3, and the Royal College of Art from 1923–4. He had his first solo show at the Leicester Galleries in 1929. He was a member of Unit One in 1933 and showed with the English Surrealists later in the 1930s. Burra travelled widely, and many influences are at play in his works, which were usually watercolour on a large scale in strong colours. He declined membership of the Royal Academy in 1963 after being elected but was created CBE in 1971. After breaking his hip in 1974, his health declined sharply and he died in Hastings in 1976.

LES PAS PERDUS « Elle est retrouvée. Quoi ? – L’Éternité. « Les lourdes voitures massives, espèces de carrosses à la Louis XIV, dorés et agrémentés par le caprice oriental, d’où jaillissent quelquefois des regards curieusement féminins, dans le strict intervalle que laissent aux yeux les bandes de mousseline collées sur le visage ; les danses frénétiques des baladins du troisième sexe (jamais l’expression de Balzac ne fut plus applicable que dans le cas présent, car, sous la palpitation de ces lueurs tremblantes, sous l’agitation de ces amples vêtements, sous cet ardent maquillage des joues, des yeux et des sourcils, dans ces gestes hystériques et convulsif, dans ces longues chevelures flottant sur les reins, il vous serait difficile, pour ne pas dire impossible, de deviner la virilité). » Baudelaire Lire la suite →
nicolas muller gb agency » Artistes Report on the Construction of a Spaceship ModuleExhibition at the 5th floor of the New MuseumNew Museum, New York24/01/–13/04/2014 The visitor entering the fifth floor of the New Museum will find herself in the simulated interior of a spaceship. The exhibition offers an allegory of “anthropological science fiction,” where the exhibition space opens screens/windows to an estranged and exciting universe that dramatizes the cross-cultural translation involved in the presentation of art. The unique model evokes the challenges that contemporary artists experience in exhibiting works, or that curators come across in organizing exhibitions that stitch together diverse art, selected across generation, cultural context, personal narratives, and time.On view in and around the spacecraft will be in three main section: artworks, commented archives, research and book projects using the screens as windows transmitting information from another world.
