ART 101 presents REGINA BOGAT STARS

MAY 31 – JULY 1 OPENING RECEPTION : MAY 31, 6 – 9 PM

It is a privilege to welcome this fine artist back to her native borough. Regina Bogat was born in Brooklyn, New York. She is the widow of the painter Alfred Jensen and has two children, Anna and Peter. She lives and paints in New Jersey. She has crossed two rivers in order to have this show.

Bogat’s initial fascination with the octagon led to the evolution of these paintings. Ogdoadic (8 points), Decagon (10 points), and Heptadic (7 points) stars will be shown. While it is tempting to explore the meaning of the stars — the why and wherefore of the artists’s choice of subject matter — that desire falls away as one is drawn into the stars themselves and the mysterious swirling layers of paint and light. The stars emerge from the background and then they become the background. The paintings are their own mystique.

Regina Bogat has a long and distinguished history of exhibitions in the U.S. especially New York and New Jersey. Her work has also been included in group shows in Germany and Switzerland and in many prominent collections. Most recently, she has shown with Fausto Sevila at the Simon Liu gallery in 2006. Upon seeing one of Bogat’s paintings, the critic John Caldwell wrote, ” The painting is very large, but every inch of it is activated, both in terms of form and color….Quite frankly I have never seen anything like it. Miss Bogat is revealed here as a direct uncompromising sensibility…”

Art 101 is located at 101 Grand Street, in Brooklyn, New York. Hours are Friday through Sunday,1 to 6, or by appointment. 718-302-2242. The gallery is wheelchair accessible. www.art101brooklyn.com

Glenn Ruga will premiere a phenomenal collection of masterworks from Bruce Davidson, Reza, Eugene Richards, Rina Castelnuovo, and Platon walking the fine line between doc art—or art doc—in On the Razor’s Edge: Between Documentary and Fine Art Photography

Amy Smith-Stewart will debut a smashing curated show entitled What Do You Believe In, featuring a select group of  of sixteen artists— Jen DeNike, Hank Willis Thomas, Leah Beeferman, Stuart Hawkins, Yamini Nayar, Fay Ray, Luke Stettner, Anissa Mack, Kenya Robinson, Xaviera Simmons, Nicole Cherubini, Nyeema Morgan, Sara Greenberger Rafferty, Matthew Spiegelman, Daniel Gordon, Ignacio Lang—and explores how photography shapes our ideas—who we are, why we do the things we do, how our thinking happens, and where it evolves.

Claude Grunitzky will delight the senses and the imagination with work from Evangelia Kranioti, Irmelie Krekin, and Christian Witkin in the Curse and the Gift: “Photography is a way of life, and as we all become touch-screen photographers, emailing and Facebooking away, art photography takes on an entirely new meaning in its role in helping us to understand the way we live now. With our modern societies in flux, and many forms of cohesion in jeopardy, it helps to reflect on those changing human dynamics by looking at images that were composed calmly, away from the pressure of instant delivery.”

Paul D. Miller aka DJ Spooky, That Subliminal Kid  will stupefy the senses with Sinfonia Antarctica (The Book of Ice). For the New York Photo Festival, Paul D. Miller aka DJ Spooky takes a look at how the role of the “archive” of Antarctic history—in photography, graphic design, and contemporary composition—has shaped some of the ways we think about contemporary digital media aesthetics. In conjunction with NYPH’12, Miller will present material from his recent Book of Ice project through the prism of an intersection of sculpture, architecture, live performance, moving image, and digital media installation.

They will also feature juried work from the New York Photo Festival Invitational, an online submission-based review platform run by the festival. More information available at http://nyph.at/

Release Party May 3rd from 6-9pm at the Bergino Clubhouse

Left Field Cards is pleased to announce the release of “Marvelous Moustaches”, the third in the ever expanding series of letterpress baseball cards by Brooklyn-based French artist Amelie Mancini.

Following the success of the “Bizarre Injuries” and “Edible All-Stars” series, Amelie Mancini now takes on baseball and facial hair. “Marvelous Moustaches” features ten ballplayers famous for sporting out-of-the-ordinary moustaches, such as Goose Gossage’s unforgettable horseshoe, Rollie Fingers’s fancy handlebar, Don Mattingly’s classic magnum or Rod Beck’s straight forward trucker moustache.

Left Field Cards brings a unique and playful spin on the trading cards loved and collected by generations of fans: the cards are hand printed and postcard-sized, with space in the back for a note, address, and a stamp in lieu of statistics. Each series plays around an unusual theme, such as weird injuries or food-related names, or in the case of “Marvelous Moustaches”, remarkable facial hair.

Amelie Mancini draws and hand carves each design on a linoleum block, which is then used to print on a Vandercook letterpress. The hand printed cards are packed in a hand sewn vellum wrapper and sold in packs of five cards for $15. They can be purchased online and in a selection of stores in Brooklyn, Chicago, Seattle and Portland.

Amelie Mancini is a French-born painter and printmaker living in Brooklyn, NY. After moving to America in 2006, she fell in love with baseball and started Left Field Cards in 2011. Her cards have been featured in the LA Times and Marie- Claire Italia, and on several sports and design blogs such as Design*Sponge, Juxtapoz, The Citrus Report, Uni-Watch and UrbanDaddy.

The Bergino Baseball Clubhouse is hosting a release party for “Marvelous Moustaches” on May 3rd from 6 to 9pm. In addition to the cards, some of the artist’s large baseball paintings will also be on display in the gallery.

OPENING RECEPTION : THURSDAY 26 APRIL, 6 – 9 PM

We are pleased to announce an exhibition of new paintings by Yolanda Shashaty : April 27 through May 22. The opening reception will take place on Thursday, April 26, from 6 to 9 pm. Shashaty has previously exhibited at ART 101, in group shows and a solo show in 2009. The new work is something of a departure for her, “I’ve let go of the landscape to concentrate on color, texture, and spatial relationship, which has been liberating.” Shashaty’s use of color is always a pleasure to experience, and while the paintings are not based on landscape as we know it, the work is informed by her understanding of the colors and configurations in the natural world. Yolanda Shashaty’s work has been exhibited widely in New York, in both the city and a number of upstate venues. She has had one-woman shows in New York, Washington, D.C., Ohio and Connecticut and she has participated in shows at The Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, the Aldrich Museum of Contemporary Art and the Butler Institute

ART 101 is located at 101 Grand Street, Brooklyn, NY 11249. Gallery hours are Friday through Sunday from 1 to 6 or by appointment; 718-302-2242. www.art101brooklyn.com

Mighty Tanaka presents: The Birds and The Bees
Featuring the artwork of Gigi Chen & H. Veng Smith

Spring is the season for growth and renewal and with it, people come together in joyous celebration. Drunk off the familiar sensation of green grasses and blossoming flora, the world is alive and full of inspiration. A romantic essence fills the air with an intoxicating blend of rejuvenating aromas that tempts the body and plays with the mind. It is easy to lose oneself in the cacophony of reawakening, as senses are overloaded and forged into the memory. Through the enchanted feelings resides a notion of self-discovery that enables reckless abandonment, which leads to a multitude of outcomes. Mighty Tanaka is pleased to bring you our springtime show, The Birds and The Bees, featuring the fantastical artwork of Gigi Chen & H. Veng Smith.

The Birds and The Bees is a traditional metaphor for love, yet it also encompasses the sharp stinging pain of loss. It is a constant reminder of balance and desire as well as the shock of reality. As the warmth grows, so does the undergrowth and the tangle of vines and thorns, creating an ever-challenging terrain of hope and expectations to navigate.

Both Gigi Chen and H. Veng Smith utilize a host of inspiring techniques to create their individual work. Both artists create their work from oil paint, yet their achieved outcome differs greatly. As the days grow longer and the sun shines a little brighter, it’s the perfect setting for The Birds and The Bees to come out to play.

This new exhibition featuring collage and installation celebrates and investigates everyday items that are disposed of in a whole new way.

Jennifer Williams- Swim

Opening Reception, Friday April 27, 2012

6:30 – 8 pm

The show will be on view through June 3, 2012

Matthew Conradt- Growing up in the mid-western rust belt, images of wood paneling from trailer homes, giant parking lots, or elaborate, wealthy interiors became portents and signifiers of the substantial class differences that currently exist in this country. Reconstructing scenes of American dreams, or of a capitalist society attempting to define itself, Matthew Conradt creates large-scale collages by printing found digital images from all kinds of media and photo-transferring them onto mylar. Through the act of appropriation, he wants to show the disparities between the realities of the country and the perceptions we show ourselves. What emerges is an American counter-narrative that is steeped in contradictions.

Jennifer Williams – By documenting, deconstructing, and re-composing visual elements of the city, Jennifer Williams gives form to dissonance within the urban geography. The use of photography in her work is cumulative; she uses archival and current self-generated images to build large-scale collage-type forms. Her site-specific compositions work around, through, and over shape, searching for the moment when the initial form “falls off”. By creating pathways that activate passive or overlooked elements within a space, she directs the viewer to engage with it in its entirety. The constructions encourage the use of photography not as a tool to stop time, but instead to control the flow of time passing. At its core her work is an amalgamation of traditional photographic languages and a syntax belonging to the twentieth-century sculptural tradition.

Business & Pleasure
A solo exhibition at the Corridor Gallery Project Space

OPENING RECEPTION Sunday, April 15^th 4-6pm.

April 13^th – May 19^th

Business & Pleasure comes to the Corridor Gallery Project Space a solo exhibition of Christina Massey.  Massey’s bold compositions are painterly and sculptural creations of recycled work clothes, older paintings, and new visceral paint elements.

In the exhibition Business and Pleasure there is a sense of violence in the deconstruction and a sexualized tenderness holding pieces together as they fold into each other.  Bold colors slice and fold through the paintings, off setting these tactile squares.

Massey’s inspiration is driven from “the Economic Recession, Bank Bail Outs and the emotional ups and downs that have followed these events, I literally “destroyed” my past work in order to rebuild it in a new form.”  These organic pieces resemble tattered earthy quilts that are reminiscent of the artist’s personal journey, which resonates with the economic ups and downs to which everyone can relate.

Corridor Gallery is open Fridays – Saturdays from 12 to 6pm and by appointment.
