Maya Lin’s ‘Three Ways of Looking at the Earth’ via PaceWildenstein

Maya Lin’s first solo exhibition with PaceWildenstein, ‘Three Ways of Looking at the Earth,’ is currently on view in New York.  The exhibition includes three large-scale installations, excerpted from her museum show ‘Systematic Landscapes,’ which premiered at the Henry Art Gallery in Seattle in 2006.  The sculptures look at different topographies, two real and one imagined, in a dramatic downshift of scale, allowing viewers to experience inaccessible or impossible landscapes in an unfamiliar perspective, challenging their relationship to the natural world. Lin remarked in the catalog essay for ‘Systematic Landscapes,’ “A strong respect and love for the land exists throughout my work.  I cannot remember a time when I was not concerned with environmental issues or when I did not feel humbled by the beauty of the natural world….these works are a response to that beauty.”

Blue Mountain (1908-09) by Wassily Kandinsky, via The Guggenheim

Currently on view at the Guggenheim in New York is “Kandinsky”, a retrospective of the paintings of Wassily Kandinsky.  A visionary artist and theorist, Kandinsky was the pioneer of abstraction.  The first comprehensive exhibition of the artist’s work in the United States since three surveys which were displayed by the Guggenheim in the 1980s, the exhibition presents around 100 of Kandinsky’s most important works from 1902 to 1942 drawn primarily from the three largest collections of the artist’s work at the Centre Pompidou in Paris, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation in New York, and the Stadtische Galerie im Lenbachhaus und Kunstbau in Munich as well as also from significant private and public collections. The retrospective focuses on key events which shaped the artist’s life and oeuvre notably those of two world wars and the Russian Revolution.

A detail from Monet’s “Water Lilies” triptych via NYTimes

After a 7-year long absence, the Museum of Modern Art has brought its Waterlilies back along with an interesting recent acquisition and two paintings on loan from The Metropolitan Museum of Art. The breathtaking triptych still holds the power to engulf the viewer in its transcendent and meditative quality. The accompanying paintings complete the experience by physically surrounding one in their lightness of color, spontaneous and sometimes pensive stroke, and a velvet-like surface that suggests a deeper psychological imprint of Monet, who worked on these particularly large pieces for years towards the end of his life. The exhibition, occupying a specially intimate gallery space, will be on view until April 12th, 2010.

Jeff Wall’s ‘Knife Throw’ via Marian Goodman

Currently on view at Marian Goodman Gallery is an exhibition of new photographs in both color and black-and-white by Jeff Wall. In this exhibition, Wall continues to explore a practice of neo-realism and ‘near-documentary’ that has characterized his work over the past several years. Developing from a practice of documentary and reportage photography, Wall moved into a more cinematographic area of staged, studio photography. His recent photos represent a convergence of those practices.

Still from Doug Aitken’s ‘migration’ via Regen Projects

Doug Aitken’s film, ‘migration,’ makes its West Coast debut at Regen Projects in Los Angeles, along with an exhibition of  new text-based light boxes. ‘migration,’ which was first shown at 303 Gallery in New York and then at the 2008 Carnegie International, shows a number of different wild animals in motel rooms across the US, acting as wild animals will do, but in settings unnatural, with only subtle variations. The film is shown at both of Regen Projects’ locations, projected outside of the Santa Monica Boulevard location from sunrise to sunset, and on a billboard inside the North Almont Drive location.

Tracy (Dripping), Ryan McGinley (2009) via RyanMcGinley.com

Currently on show at the Alison Jacques Gallery, London is Moonmilk; a series 22 new color photographs from the American photographer Ryan McGinley. For this, his first ever solo show in the UK, McGinley presents the viewer with a series of photographs he captured over the period of a year in spectacular caves across North America.  The show’s title, Moonmilk, alludes to the white, crystalline deposits found on the walls of caves – a substance once believed to have been formed by light from celestial bodies passing through rock into darkened worlds below. In this instance, the huge geographical features created by the Moonmilk serve as a phenomenal backdrop to McGinley’s nude models.

James Turrell’s ‘Untitled (11NOR)’ via PaceWildenstein

Now at PaceWildenstein’s West 25th Street location is the gallery’s fourth solo exhibition of James Turrell, ‘Large Holograms.’ Working within the language he developed in his seminal projection pieces of the 1960s, Turrell’s fifteen large-scale hologram works deal with the physicality of light and the changes of its presence via the changes in perspective. Using traditional dichromate holographic material, Turrell, instead of using light to create the illusion of a three-dimensional object, makes an object out of light itself.

Helvoetsluys – the City of Utrecht, 64, Going to Sea, Joseph Mallord William Turner (Exh 1832). Via Tate

In acknowledgment of the grand artistic tradition of admiration, imitation and competition, through January 31 Tate Britain will present the work of Joseph Mallord William Turner alongside some 100 related works by Old Masters and Contemporaries.

Moonlight, a Study at Millbank, Joseph Mallord William Turner (1797). Via Tate

J.M.W. Turner is often regarded as one of the most artists of his time, whose work varied to include watercolors, oil paintings, drawings and prints. While Turner’s spirit is often deemed as independent, David Solkin, Professor of the Social History of Art at the Courtauld Institute, University of London who conceived the exhibition, wishes to highlight how Turner was in fact, deeply engaged with the work of other artists.

Installation view of Rudolf Stingel’s exhibition at Sadie Coles HQ

Rudolf Stingel’s third solo exhibition at Sadie Coles HQ in London is now on view. The Italian artist continues his conceptual exploration of painting, with a series of gauze paintings as well as photorealistic paintings of medieval statues of saints. Stingel’s gauze paintings are made by placing gauze over a wet canvas, spraying paint over top, then removing the gauze.  Both series toy with the idea of memory and the idea of originality.

Martin Eder, Stagnancy via Hauser & Wirth

Works of Berlin-based artist Martin Eder are currently showing at Hauser & Wirth. This is the first UK exhibition of the artist. Displaying the dialogue between culture and kitsch, a suite of Martin Eder’s new paintings may be perceived initially as bordering on perverse; yet a closer and collective examination of his work reveals a somewhat surrealistic world, where the vocabulary established is translated into the themes of fear and desire. Coinciding with the exhibition occupying two floors of the Old Bond Street gallery in London, was a concert performed by Martin Eder’s alter-ego Richard Ruin at Hoxton Hall on September 11, 2009. The show runs through September 26, 2009.

Detail of a photograph by Virginie Marielle, Installation view of Veilhan’s work at main courtyard of Versailles via Veilhan Versailles

Works by French artist Xavier Veilhan are currently being shown at the Chateau de Versailles, its gardens, and Royal and Main Courtyards.  Veilhan, born in Lyon, lives and works in Paris. The artist covers a variety of mediums including sculpture, film, photography, painting and installation art. A 50 foot long coach and horses in purple, a color Veilhan sees as complex and ambiguous when at the backdrop of its perception is the idea of Monarchy and Royal power, is the first work encountered upon the nominal entrance to the exhibit. Also, among the works being shown is a statue of a girl, delicate and quiet in color as opposed to other works, it complements Versailles to a degree where it may be passed unnoticed by the visitor of the show. Also showing are sculptures and installations that tackle the worlds of photography and politics. A statue of Gagarin, first man to fly to space, titled “Le Gisant” is laid on the ground of the Royal Courtyard. The show runs through December 13, 2009.

“Still Life Negative after Mignon” by Wittwer via Uwe Wittwer

A new body of work and the first solo show titled “Raised Hide” of the Swiss artist Uwe Wittwer is currently on view at Haunch of Venison in London, UK. The show is comprised of a series of works on paper, in watercolor and inkjet, which represent Wittwer’s continued inquiry into authenticity of images and the truth of perspective. All of Wittwer’s prints and paintings are sources and are downloaded from the internet before undergoing a perceptual and physical transformation. In the tradition of Gerhard Richter and Luc Tuymans, Wittwer adapts and reclaims photographic and digital images as his own translations of artistic vision. He explores the role of artist as a voyeur and image generation and his visions are available to the public until October 3^rd, 2009.

Gilbert & George’s ‘Great Expectations,’ via MoMA

On view through October 5, 2009 at the Museum of Modern Art in New York is ‘In & Out of Amsterdam: Travels in Conceptual Art, 1960-1976,’ an exhibition that examines the beginnings of conceptualism and the role that international travel – in this case, particularly between Amsterdam and Los Angeles – played in shaping the movement. The exhibition includes ten American and European artists, from heavy-hitters such as Sol LeWitt and Lawrence Weiner, to the mythologized, like Bas Jan Ader and Stanley Brouwn, to lesser-known and peripheral figures such as Charlotte Posenenske. The focal point is the now-defunct but highly influential Amsterdam gallery Art & Project. Founders Geert van Beijeren and Adriaan van Ravesteijn gifted the museum 230 works in 2007, which make up the majority of the 75 works that appear in the exhibition.

Detail view Critical Mass II, Antony Gormley’s work exhibited currently at Kunsthaus Bregenz

Four major installations by a British contemporary artist Antony Gormley, made over the last fifteen years, are presented at Kunsthaus Bregenz. Body and Fruit, Allotment, Critical Mass and Clearing are works currently showing in the Austrian exhibition space. The latter four series by Antony Gormley all explore the artist’s favored themes: body, memory and self-knowledge. The dialogue aroused when these themes involve the viewer becomes an essential part of Gormley’s art. “Every experience in some way is given depth by previous experience” A.Gormley. The show runs through October 4, 2009.
