Preview: Basel Week Miami ’10 – Matthew Palladino @ Baer Ridgway Exhibitions

Posted by lowpro, November 22, 2010

To coincide with this years Art Basel Miami Beach, San Francisco-based Baer Ridgway Exhibitions will be showing a new body of work from enigmatic contemporary artist Matthew Palladino during the New Art Dealers Alliances (NADA) Art Fair. Earlier this year, Palladino made waves with his groundbreaking sold-out solo exhibition, Wonder Box (covered), which showcased the artist’s wonderfully warped visual language executed with near surgeon-like technical precision. With an aesthetic that loosely pays homage to the Bay Area’s Mission School movement, yet in a decidedly more […]

Openings: Hush – “Found” with White Walls in New York

Posted by juggernut3, November 22, 2010

On Friday, AM attended the opening of Hush’s (interviewed) latest show Found in New York’s hip Lower East Side. The pop-up show hosted by White Walls Gallery was a quick drive-by as it only lasted the weekend. Held in the beautiful Angel Orensanz Foundation for Contemporary Art, the historic synagogue was transformed into a grand display with the help of some creative lighting and Hush’s “Geisha Portrait” series which we previewed recently in a studio visit. The opening night was packed with fans from the […]

Openings: Erik Parker – “Endless Anytime” @ Honor Fraser

Posted by Khoi, November 22, 2010

Currently on view at Honor Fraser in Culver City is New York-based artist Erik Parker’s Endless Anytime – a exhibition of new paintings that marks a shift in the artist’s subject matter. While his recognizable bright, vibrant, and saturated colors are still represented on each canvas, the show features nudes, still lifes, and landscapes in place of psychedelic amorphous figures. While classical in the tradition of such artists as Picasso and Matisse, the paintings have a contemporary edge to them and have the unmistakable feel […]

Streets: LUDO – “Co-Branding” (Paris)

Posted by sleepboy, November 21, 2010

If you remember, we brought you some “Halloweenism” from LUDO (interviewed) recently. Now, take a look at some of the origins of the series with the “co-branding” project that he’s been working on concurrently in Paris. The “Del Monte” trash can we posted last month was the first piece of this new series, so it looks like he’s branching out from his “Nature’s Revenge” imagery somewhat. Take a look at more bus stop interventions after the jump…

Posted by sven, November 21, 2010

Hopefully you caught our interview with Emma Tooth recently just ahead of her London solo opening at the Lazarides Outsiders Gallery, if not you can check it out here. AM went along to the opening of Concilium Plebis to check out the work for ourselves down in the dungeon. We’ve already seen some of the series of paintings before at her recent exhibition at Derby Museum earlier this year, and also when we visited Emma in her studio, but there was a healthy mixture of […]

Euclide’s unique brand of assemblage-based sculpting utilizes an […]

Streets: WK Interact (Mexico City)

Posted by sleepboy, November 21, 2010

WK Interact, who we last saw at the RE:FORM School show and Beyond the Street NY book launch, recently completed a massive mural. Billed as the NY-based street artist’s largest piece yet at 200 x 7 meters, the project at the General National Archives in Mexico City features some of his signature imagery and movement blurs. More photos after the jump…

Armsrock’s Residency at Print Workshop (Hjoerring)

Posted by sleepboy, November 20, 2010

Always one to expand his horizons, Danish artist Armsrock (interviewed) recently completed a residency at a print workshop in Hjoerring. We last saw his work at a show in London in June, but perhaps he will be using some new techniques he learned in his December solo “Nocturne On A Drainpipe Flute” at Wonderland Art Space in Copenhagen. More pics after the jump…

Posted by juggernut3, November 20, 2010

We saw a lot at Frieze and we have to note that every fair we’ve been to Galerie Emmanuel Perrotin never fails to make in impact with their bold exhibits. Amongst the bustle we caught impressive works by Andy Warhol, Damien Hirst, Aya Takano, Tracy Emin, David La Chapelle and even a surprise appearance by Faile.
