SUMMARY:2023 Westbeth Gallery Calendar
DESCRIPTION:February 1 – February 26\nPAROXYSM Group Show curated by Alison Pirie(outside Westbeth)\n\nParoxysm is a group exhibition featuring 57 artists based in the tri-state area and abroad working across sculpture\, photography\, video\, painting\, and performance. The artists in the show examine and diagnose the physical\, mental\, and social symptoms of our disordered world\, exploring concepts of building\, accumulating\, amassing\, and the resulting spasms\, bursts\, explosions\, and attacks. \n\nMarch 1 – March 26\nJOAN HALL: A 50 YEAR RETROSPECTIVE SOLO SHOW (Westbeth)\n\nJoan Hall’s retrospective presents different groups of work in the mediums of collage and assemblage. Each room in the gallery is devoted to a series of work created at different stages of the artist’s life: Icons (figurative assemblages)\, collage\, room and parcels (assemblages utilizing mirrors so the viewer sees themselves as if inside)\, string attached (a contemporary spin on old fashioned embroidery)\, the Paris project (conceptual mixed-media assemblages) and box constructions (Surrealistic found-object assemblages). \n\nMarch 29 – April 30\nLUMINOUS ELSEWHERES (outside Westbeth)\n\nLuminous Elsewheres features the work of artists who have honed a vision of a personal ‘elsewhere’ that embodies its own radiant dimensionality. These visual explorations open up new ways of seeing\, feeling and perceiving. Sourced primarily through intuition and the process of art making itself\, the works included in this exhibit bring viewers closer to what Susan Sontag described as “the luminousness of the thing in itself.” Organized by Karen Fitzgerald\, Denise Manteau and Alison Cuomo. \n\nMay 3 – May 28\nISA HO: RESONANCE – WESTBETH PROJECT (outside Westbeth)\n\nThis exhibition embodies my memories\, which I share with the artists. I captured the essence of these beautiful and powerful people in my own way. The exhibition showcases a selection of works from 2013 to the present\, including photography\, videos\, and documentaries\, as well as a new NFT installation created in collaboration with artist Chen\, Zhao-Hua. Additionally\, the exhibition features portraits of the artists displayed alongside their work at the Westbeth artist housing. Through close contact for a long period of time\, Isa Ho interviewed the tenants and used photography to explore the possibilities of life in different circumstances. 3D installations in the exhibition\, using video and photography\, reproduce the adaptations that the artists had made to their living space as their bodies aged. \n\nMay 31 – June 25\nRUTGERS UNIVERSITY GROUP SHOW: PLAYBACK (outside Westbeth)\n\nPlayback\, a group exhibition at Westbeth Gallery\, links the interplay among biography\, narrative\,and experience across a disparate set of artistic practices developed by Rutgers University visual\nart MFA graduates. First year MFA students Em Gallagher\, Andrew Kennedy\, Kabi Lama\,Maura Torres\, and Anton Varga have joined instructors Park McArthur and Jason Hirata inorganizing a presentation of their graduating peers’ work. \n\nJune 28 – July 30\nVALERIE HALLIER – UNatural PRocesses- GROUP SHOW (Westbeth)\n\nThe group show questions what we call “nature” and “natural”. In many other civilizations\, the word nature doesn’t exist to differentiate the non-human from the human. Through the work of 8 international artists\, the show revisits our contemporary relationship with the non-human through each artist’s unique way of working with their material be it raw\, weaved\, painted\, recycled\, coded or virtual. \n\nAugust 2 – August 27\nTHE WHITNEY – GROUP SHOW (outside Westbeth)\n\nThis recurring annual group show presents the Whitney museum’s staff selection of artworks. \n\nAugust 30 – September 24\nKEN WADE – 58 YEAR OF ART MAKING (Westbeth)\n\nThis retrospective presents 58 years of art making spanning 3 favored traditional mediums; drawing\, painting and sculpture. \n\nOctober 4 – October 29\nJAMES GORTNER – DADS – GROUP SHOW (Westbeth)\n\nThis is a show about “Dads” who make art\, working across all mediums from painting and sculpture to performance and\nvideo. This show has included Dads of all kinds to umbrella the term as those who can identify with their own idea of what a dad can be. Though all the Dads in this show have been profoundly affected by their experience as Dad\, their work may not directly show it. \n\nNovember 11 – December 16\nWESTBETH WINTER SHOW GROUP SHOW 2023 Westbeth)\n\nThis annual group show celebrates all Westbeth’s visual artists\, presenting in one show 70 to 80 different practices through one artwork. \nNote: Calendar dates generally indicate when an exhibitor takes over the Gallery\, and includes installation\, run of the show\, and de-installation. Check the Westbeth Home Page publicity for the date of the opening reception and exact exhibition dates\, whenever they are posted. \nTo inquire about using the gallery for q reading\, performance or other event\, contact westbethgallery@gmail.com.\nFor more info about the Gallery\, click HERE

SUMMARY:Westbeth Artist Veronica Ryan wins Turner Prize
DESCRIPTION:Windrush Tribute by Veronica Ryan \n \nThe Guardian\nNadia Khomami\nArts and Culture Correspondent\nDec 7\, 2022Veronica Ryan\, who created the UK’s first permanent artwork to honour the Windrush generation\, has won the 2022 Turner prize\, one of the world’s most prestigious awards for visual arts. \nRyan\, 66\, becomes the oldest artist to win the prize. She was nominated for the Windrush sculpture\, which was unveiled in Hackney\, London\, last year\, and for her solo exhibition Along a Spectrum at Spike Island\, Bristol. \nRyan – who received an OBE last year – was born in Plymouth\, Montserrat and came to the UK as a child in the 1950s. She creates sculptural objects and installations using containers\, compartments and combinations of natural and fabricated forms to reference themes such as displacement\, fragmentation\, alienation and loss. \nVeronica Ryan OBE\, Custard Apple (Annonaceae)\, Breadfruit (Moraceae)\, and Soursop (Annonaceae)\, 2021. Commissioned by Hackney Council; curated and produced by Create London. Photo: Andy Keate. Courtesy the artist\, Paula Cooper Gallery\, New York\, and Alison Jacques\, London.\nVeronica Ryan is a sensational choice as Turner prize-winner\nRead more\nThe jury awarded the prize for the “personal and poetic way she extends the language of sculpture”. They also praised the noticeable shift in her use of space\, colour and scale both in gallery and civic spaces. \nCollecting the award\, Ryan thanked her family. “Thank you so much\,” she said. “I’m wearing my dad’s hat\, my dad would be so pleased\, he called me big eyes when I was little. That’s fabulous. Thank you mummy and daddy. All my family. My family are here. My siblings. \n“And to my siblings that didn’t survive. And I’m going to name them: Patricia\, Josephine\, David. They were fantastic people. And I think they’re looking at us right now. And they’re proud. And I want to thank everybody. \n“I have a few people who in my career have looked out for me\, when I wasn’t visible. When I collected rubbish. I collected rubbish for a number of years. But actually\, some of the rubbish is some of the most important works I think. \n“Thank you to the other artists. It’s a fantastic installation. We’ve all – everyone has made fantastic work. I just want to say thank you to everyone this is wonderful.” \nAlex Farquharson\, the director of Tate Britain and co-chair of the jury\, said Ryan was “a sculptor taking the language of sculpture and extending it in new directions”. “She has a long career going back to the 80s and it’s interesting to see that evolution but also this flourishing now\,” he said. \nHe said the jury was highly impressed with the turns Ryan’s work had taken in the last couple of years and paid tribute to the “subtle poetics” in her work. \n“It’s slow-burn work. What becomes evident is this elusive treatment of themes of survival\, care and she’s even used the word trauma. The valuing of things\, the remembering of things. It’s about nature and lived experience\,” he said. \nRead the entire article HERE

SUMMARY:Hannah Wilke: Flowers 1973 - 1991
DESCRIPTION:Flowers 1973 – 1991\nJanuary 28 – March 25\, 2023\nMarc Selwyn Gallery\n9953 South Seneca\nSanta Monica CA \nClick here for Preview\nMarc Selwyn Fine Art is pleased to present Flowers 1973-1991\, an exhibition of drawings by the late American artist Hannah Wilke (1940–1993). This exhibition will focus on the flower image and includes works in watercolor and sepia ink on paper.  It will also include a grouping of three of Wilke’s abstract vaginal forms in ceramic from the 1970’s\, highlighting the relationship between her works on paper and her three-dimensional sculpture. \nA pioneering figure in feminist art\, Wilke explored issues of beauty\, gender\, and Western cultural convention with a diverse approach that included photography\, performance\, video\, sculpture\, and drawing. The first woman of her generation to make vaginal art\, Wilke asserted ownership over her own body and was a key figure in the feminist art movement of the 1960’s and 70’s. \nWilke’s multi-disciplinary practice melded Post-Minimalism\, second wave feminism and Abstract Expressionism\, making her one of the most influential yet under recognized artists of the late 20th century. \nWilke’s works on paper are often in dialogue with her sculpture. Rarely exhibited before her death in 1993\, drawings were an integral part of her practice beginning in the 1950’s and early 1960’s. While Wilke’s undulating lines often generate highly abstracted compositions that relate to her sculpture\, this exhibition will focus on a series of recognizable floral images which are closely linked to her three-dimensional organic forms. \nWilke’s sketches of flowers embody a delicate and ambiguous beauty and come from the same energy exemplified in her performances. As Nancy Princenthal wrote in the artist’s monograph (Hannah Wilke\, 2010\, Prestel) “Her observations were acute\, bringing to life every particularity of texture and form\, blooming health and decay without sacrifice to the delicacy for which flowers are treasured.” Wilke continued to produce flower drawings until her death\, with some of the final examples done on hospital pillowcases. \nHannah Wilke (b. New York\, NY\, 1940; d. Houston\, TX\, 1993) trained at Stella Elkins Tyler School of Fine Art\, Temple University\, Philadelphia. Key solo museum exhibitions during her life included Hannah Wilke: Scarification Photographs and Videotapes\, Fine Arts Gallery\, University of California\, Irvine\, (1976); and Hannah Wilke: A Retrospective\, University of Missouri (1989).  \nRecent solo presentations of her work include Hannah Wilke: Art for Life’s Sake\, Pulitzer Arts Foundation (2022)\, Hannah Wilke: Gestures\, Neuberger Museum of Art\, New York (2008) and a solo gallery at the Museum of Modern Art\, New York (2011). Wilke has also been included in significant group exhibitions\, including: Eva Hesse and Hannah Wilke: Erotic Abstraction\, Acquavella Galleries\, New York (2021)\, Performing for the Camera\, Tate Modern\, London (2016); Human Nature\, LACMA\, Los Angeles\, CA (2012); Naked Before the Camera\, Metropolitan Museum of Art\, New York (2012); The Original Copy: Photography of Sculpture\, 1839 to Today\, MoMA\, New York\, NY (2010); elles@centrepompidou\, Centre Pompidou\, Paris\, (2009-10): WACK!\, Museum of Contemporary Art\, Los Angeles (2007); and Sexual Politics\, Hammer Museum\, Los Angeles\, 1996.   \nHer work is featured in major museum and foundation collections including Tate Modern\, London; Centre Pompidou\, Paris; Museum of Modern Art\, New York; Whitney Museum of American Art\, New York; Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum\, New York; LA County Museum of Art\, Los Angeles; Museum of Contemporary Art\, Los Angeles\, Princeton University Art Museum; and Coleccion Jumex\, Mexico City. \nPlease note our gallery hours: Tuesday – Saturday\, 11 – 6 pm\, or by appointment.

SUMMARY:David Del Tredici Interview and Alice in Wonderland
DESCRIPTION:CRITIC’S NOTEBOOK\nRevisiting a Composer’s Psychedelic Lewis Carroll Music\n \nBy Seth Colter Walls\nNY Times Jan. 5\, 2023 \nThere’s the surreal image of going “through the looking glass”; the look of a Tim Burton movie\, including his version of “Alice in Wonderland”; the skewed angles of Tom Petty’s video for “Don’t Come Around Here No More”; the use of a word like “galumphing.” \nAnd\, as a new album from the Albany Symphony demonstrates\, there are the Carroll-inspired musical works of the composer David Del Tredici\, some of which have been captured on two world premiere recordings from the ensemble\, led by David Alan Miller. \nThese long-awaited performances — of “Pop-Pourri” (from 1968\, and revised in 1973) and “Adventures Underground” (written in 1971 and revised in 1977) — are a booming\, psychedelic marvel. In the initial seconds of the first movement of “Pop-Pourri\,” Del Tredici smash cuts between a Bach harmonization of a Lutheran chorale\, “Es Ist Genug\,” and his own setting of Carroll’s text. The “Litany of the Blessed Virgin” is also in the mix — making good on Del Tredici’s claim\, in the album’s liner notes\, that the piece is “a kind of Cantata of the Sacred and Profane.” \nBut that’s not the strangest\, or even most alluring\, part of the beginning: That would be the music for saxophones\, which tends to keen and swoon underneath high-flown writing for a soprano (on this recording\, an indefatigable Hila Plitmann). The second movement features boisterous\, fast moving lines for contrabassoon. And in the third movement\, Del Tredici lets his late ’60s freak flag fly\, with percussion blasts and woolly lines for distorted electric guitar and bass. \n“I’m always trying to make the text come alive\,” Del Tredici\, 85\, said in a recent phone interview. He remembered that\, for the “Jabberwocky”-quoting third movement\, “I needed something for the monster.” \n..And he’s currently contemplating another opera with a comic bent about his recent experiences with Parkinson’s disease. In conversation\, he analogized that effort with his decision in the 1990s to write music directly on gay themes. \n“I like being open\,” he said\, “about all the things that are hard to be open about.” \nRead entire NY Times Interview HERE\nSee Westbeth Icon Interview with David Del Tredici HERE\nHome Page photo  Del Tredici is at work on an opera about his experience with Parkinson’s disease.Credit…Vincent Tullo for The New York Times/strong>

SUMMARY:Dr Miriam Chaiken Cultural Anthropologist: A Conversation about Westbeth
DESCRIPTION:6:00pm – 7:15pm ET \nZoom Webinar \nFree\, Pre-Registration is Required \nRegister Here:\n Village Preservation and Dr Miriam Chaiken \nJoin Village Preservation in discussion with Miriam S. Chaiken\, Ph. D.\, Dean Emerita\, William Conroy Honors College\, Distinguished Professor of Anthropology Emerita\, New Mexico State University. Dr. Chaiken will share insights and history about Westbeth Artists Housing from her research and interviews with resident artists.  \nThe Westbeth community is important both for the then-radical innovations in the building’s architecture\, and for the many noteworthy people who have called it home over five-plus decades. Opened in 1970\, the Westbeth project began in the mid-1960s when philanthropist and patron of the arts Jacob Kaplan envisioned an affordable space in the heart of New York City\, where up and coming artists could live and work.  \nMore than 500 artists have lived in Westbeth\, and some have had a profound influence on their genres. The discussion will examine how the building and community influenced the lives of these artists\, and how this community in turn influenced political\, social\, and artistic movements over the past 50 years.  \nDr.Chaiken is embarking on a comprehensive examination of the collective impact of the Westbeth community examining the span of its 50 years in Greenwich Village. Join in the discussion and learn more about this important cultural institution in our community. \nDr. Miriam S. Chaiken has a unique history that permitted her to undertake this research and gathering of oral histories. Three of Westbeth’s long-term residents were her fathers’ siblings. She has visited the building for decades\, and in 2017 began applying her skills as an ethnographer to learning about the lives and experiences of the community residents.  \nAs a cultural anthropologist she has worked in a variety of diverse contexts\, from rural villages in the Philippines\, Indonesia\, and throughout sub-Saharan Africa\, to drawing rooms in British homes. Her research in the global south has largely focused on indigenous perspectives of poverty\, gender\, and hunger.

SUMMARY:Victoria Horne  Online Exhibition of Photographs of Thailand
DESCRIPTION:In the year 2009\, I was contacted by a friend of mine who also happens to be a jazz singer performer who was in need of a vacation; she offered me the possibility to sit in for her at the World-Famous Bamboo Bar\, a jazz club at the Mandarin Hotel\, in Bangkok\, Thailand. I set the wheels in motion. I found myself on a plane heading toward my destination. The journey from Jacksonville\, Florida\, to New York City\, LA\, then over the Pacific Ocean on my new adventure to another world was incredible and exciting. \nThe contract at the Bamboo Jazz club lasted for four months. The gig was in the evening\, which gave me some free time during the day. I became very much involved with the Thai people and their culture. It became my habit to take my camera wherever I went using an OLYMPUS OM-D’E-M10 Digital Camera. \nSEE THE ONLINE EXHIBIT: Hudson Park Library Victoria Horne On Line \nMore infö about Victoria Horne at Westbeth Artist Pages

DESCRIPTION:Dec. 3\, 2022 – January 30\, 2023\nHudson Park Library continues its exhibition program in 2022-23 with The Portrait Project\, a collaboration of eleven artists who focus on portraiture. \nFounded by Howard Gladstone\, The Portrait Project encourages artists to represent fellow artist members in their work\, by posing for each other.The group began in 2012\, and has since had 2 exhibitions and programs together\, presenting the fruits of their exchanges and a forum for their ideas. \nThe Project started as a way to solve several problems\, providing: a means for artists to work from life without the expense of professional models; an opportunity to portray people from life without the obligation to flatter; and a laboratory to learn from each other’s approaches. Exhibitions of the group’s work offer a resource\, bringing greater exposure to viewers from the entire group’s shared contacts. \nEleven artists’ works will be shown: Robert Bunkin\, Leonid Gervits\, Valerie\nGillett\, Howard Gladstone\, Karen Kaapcke\, Sharon Moreau\, Dena Schutzer\,\nDonna Skebo\, Jenny Tango\, Clarissa Payne Uvegi and Yu Zhang.\nThe exhibition includes recent oils and smaller works on paper. Artworks can be purchased directly from the artists.\nThe exhibition will open to the public on Saturday\, Dec. 3. \nThe artists’ reception will take place on Saturday\, December 17\, from 2 – 5 PM. \nTwo programs will also offer more in-depth experiences with the exhibition: \n A guided tour led by Robert Bunkin with in-put from some of the artists\,\nSaturday\, January 7\, 2023 from 2-4 PM \n Artists’ roundtable discussion about issues in contemporary\nportraiture\, Saturday\, January 21\, 2023\, 2-4 PM. \nThe exhibition is located in the main floor rear adult reading room. All of Hudson Park Library’s exhibitions and programs are free to the public. \nLibrary hours are Monday-Friday 10-6; Saturday 10-5; closed Sunday. \nThe Library is located at 66 Leroy Street\, New York\, NY 10014. Tel. 212 243-6876.\nPublic transit: nearest subway stop is at Houston Street\, #1 train.

SUMMARY:NYT Best Dance Performances of 2022: John Jasperse Visitation
DESCRIPTION:Cynthia Koppe\, front\, and Tim Bendernagel in “Visitation.”Credit…Ian Douglas \nAccent on Community:\nVisitation by John Jasperse\nSiobhan Burke\nDec 2\, 2022  \nThe effects of the pandemic’s darkest days continue to linger\, though not always in obvious ways. After so much isolation\, it’s probably no coincidence that some of this year’s most moving and memorable performances stood out for the spirit of community they conjured: a sense of genuine friendship among the dancers onstage\, radiating out to draw the audience in. That spirit also encompassed dancers of the past\, presences felt but not seen. \nAn eerier kind of togetherness emerged in John Jasperse’s “Visitation\,” for Doug LeCours\, Tim Bendernagel and Cynthia Koppe. Invoking ghosts and ghostliness\, this spacious yet intricate work managed to fill NYU Skirball’s expansive stage\, building to a climax in which the three dancers\, uncannily\, appeared enmeshed as one. At the same time\, throughout the piece\, it was hard to look away from Koppe\, who gave a quietly magnificent performance: so rigorously present in her body\, she seemed to have broken through to a different realm.  \nRead the entire article HERE \nNY Times Review of Visitation\nRobert Siebert\nSept\,2\, 2022 \nBetween the youthful attractiveness of these articulate dancers (whom Jasperse credits as performing collaborators) and the meticulous compositional finesse of the choreography — replete with symmetries and crossing lines\, controlled even when it pushes toward looping leaps and turns — “Visitation” feels as concerned with beauty as it is with death. Perhaps with the death of beauty\, or\, in Wallace Stevens’s phrase\, with death as the mother of beauty. \nAt the center is no less than the prelude to “Tristan und Isolde\,” that lushest mixing of sex and death. It accompanies a ghostly duet for LeCours and Bendernagel. At first they barely touch: the back of a hand down a leg\, an arm through the gap made by the other’s arm. This builds into a loose\, conjoined tumbling that’s strangely disembodied — like a version of contact improvisation in which the goal is not to share weight but to diffuse it. As Wagner swells\, they roll on the ground\, nearly like lovers in the waves\, from here to eternity. \nRead entire review HERE
