Model Home
7/25/2010
MODEL HOME :
RECEPTION JULY 28, 5:30-8:30
ON VIEW JULY 1 – AUGUST 15,2010.
The 16th floor Solarium @ The Roger Smith Hotel
501 Lexington Ave. @ 47th st.
Curated by Nico Wheadon
Model Home presents the interdisciplinary work of eight artists from the tART collective, a New York-based network of women committed to exploring the intersections of public engagement, education and activism through visual art. In Model Home, Suzanne Broughel, Anna Lise Jensen, Elaine Kaufmann, Jodie Lyn-Kee-Chow, Sandra Mack-Valencia, Carrie Rubinstein, Asya Reznikov and Yasmin Spiro foreground a heightened awareness of the role of objects in discussing cultural value, fetishization and identity. Through a broad survey of the domestic signifiers which simultaneously enable and oppress—mops, feather dusters, ovens, rubber gloves, kitchenware, and things-to-do-lists—this exhibition critiques the notion that there is a “model home” or “archetypal lifestyle” to which universal value can be ascribed and questions the governing political, lingual and cultural forces that write this Utopian yet heavily gendered vision into being. Model Home resituates household objects and actions outside of the diverse spaces we call home and within an exhibitory context to assert that meaning is derived from the intersection of origin and context. As global citizens, these eight artists highlight travel, tourism and routes of migration as major influences on the cultural vale of everyday objects and discuss individual agency—through what could be described as a Fluxist, visual rhetoric—as it relates to desire, self and otherness.

tART member Katerina Lanfranco recipient of the US/Japan Friendship Commission Fellowship 2010
5/2/2010
Katerina Lanfranco, Visual arts, March 8 -August 31, 2010
Katerina plans to visit Japan to study isekatagami (paper cut-outs), ikebana (flower arranging) and ukiyo-e (a genre of woodblock prints). Since 2006, she has explored the use of paper cut-outs. Her interest in them stems from their physical directness, compositional detail and complexity. Likewise, in her works she often references floral motifs and plant forms, which she sees as having a similarity to ikebana: an art form in created response to the inherent beauty, symmetry and formal patterns found in plants. As her paintings are a result of the investigation into the creation of other worldly landscapes, inspired by the ukiyo-e tradition, she feels she would benefit from further study into that genre as well.

LIGHT THERAPY IN NEW BERLIN ART SPACE by tART artist
1/30/2010
The present winter season has been particularly hard on Berlin, and not only because of the sub-zero temperatures and icy streets. The sun for sorrow will not show his head. We’ve just emerged from a record sixteen days without direct sunlight. A new art space in Mitte might provide the perfect treatment: a light therapy room, with an accompanying Icelandic soundscape.
The venue is called MMX (think Roman numerals). It’s a temporary gallery, bar and general creativity space occupying the ground floor of a soon-to-be-renovated altbau in Linienstraße. MMX occupies over 1000 square meters of floor space, with several gallery rooms, a video screening room, a bar, a courtyard and a front garden that will come alive in summer. The do-it-yourself aesthetics of the location contrast strongly with the rest of the street. It’s relieving to know that such underground art activities can still take place in this rather-gentrified district.
The light therapy room is an installation by artist and MMX co-founder Rebecca Loyche, who has collaborated with sound artist Björk Viggósdóttir from Iceland. It will be part of the venue’s first exhibition program, which runs from January 30 until February 28.
MMX celebrates is opening this Friday night, with live performances and general festivity. It will remain open for several months or longer, depending on the impending renovation plans.
MMX Open Art Venue
Linienstr. 142-143, Berlin-Mitte
Opening night: Friday Jan 29, 19.00
Regular hours: Wed-Sun 12.00-18.00

Julia Whitney Barnes in "Brooklyn Utopias?" show at Brooklyn Historical Society Museum
10/17/2009
PROJECT OVERVIEW
Utopia: An ideal place or state, usually imaginary; any visionary system of political, social, environmental, or moral perfection
What would a “Brooklyn Utopia” look like? What is the role of artists in shaping a more ideal Brooklyn?
From colonial religious settlements to western frontiers to urban renewal efforts to planned suburban enclaves, the US has historically been obsessed with Utopian communities. Brooklyn is no exception to this, with its history as a home for Dutch colonial and myriad immigrant settlers, 19th Century social reformers like Alfred T. White, influential artists and writers from Walt Whitman to Spike Lee; and its distinctive neighborhoods ranging from the Coney Island amusement paradise to luxury “Manhattan suburbs” like Brooklyn Heights and Park Slope.
The past decade marks Brooklyn’s growing popularity and often competing and controversial attempts to re-plan and rebuild Brooklyn-- from luxury developments to new sports and entertainment complexes to affordable housing and "green" architecture initiatives. Brooklyn has also traditionally nurtured grassroots organizations—community arts centers, urban farms, bicycle advocacy groups--practicing alternative models. How effective are all these efforts? What harm is being done? What additional innovations are possible? And what can survive recent economic and environmental crises?
The Brooklyn Utopias? project invited professional artists and emerging youth artists to identify and respond to these often-conflicting visions of the most livable and sustainable Brooklyn, and/or imagine their own Brooklyn "utopias."
SCHEDULE OF EVENTS
Group exhibit at Brooklyn Historical Society
Opening Reception: Thursday, October 1, 2009, 5:30-7:30pm

tART Summer Salon Show 2008

July 3rd, 2008 - August 1st, 2008
Opening reception Thursday, July 3rd, 5-9p
Wed-Fri 6-8p and by appointment through August 1st
Rabbitholestudio presents Summer Salon Show, a group show that features recent work by members of the tART artist collective.
tART is an artist group based in New York City comprised of emerging artists committed to making art. It was founded in 2004 by a group of New York City based female artists whose aims were to create a community for practicing artists, as well as to serve as a post-grad school forum to facilitate a contemporary art dialogue. The tART collective has grown over the years to more than two dozen members. The group's members consist of locally and internationally showing artists. tART strives to strengthen the presence of women artists in the public sphere.
The variety of media and visual art disciplines presented in the show include painting, drawing, photography, sculpture, video, performance, mixed media and installation. The work will be hung in a traditional floor-to-ceiling Salon style to emphasize the myriad approaches and directions that make up the collective's overall spirit. The artists involved have graduated from various MFA programs which include Hunter College, Yale University, Pratt Institute, Tyler School of Art, and Brooklyn College. The collective meets monthly for studio critiques and collaborative projects.
