Several art fairs took over Los Angeles last weekend, two of which used hotels to create temporary galleries and installations.

At the The Hollywood Roosevelt was the first edition of Felix, a free art fair co-founded by Dean Valentine along with brothers Al Morán and Mills Morán (of LA gallery Morán Morán). Galleries took over rooms along the pool, on the 11th floor, and the penthouse.  Starting at the penthouse was The 13th Floor (pictured above), a collection of work by French artists curated by writer Andrew Berardini and presented by The French Committee of Art Galleries and the Cultural Services of the French embassy.

Kenny Schachter had some fun pieces in his room on the 11th Floor including Ilona Rich's sculptures, one of which was in the bathroom shower (pictured above), and a framed collection of artist Chris Burden's cancelled checks.  

Bodega gallery, from New York's Lower East Side, had a selection of interesting work including paintings by Alexandra Noel (pictured below).

Grice Bench's selections included a collection of lovely watercolors by Roger White and a painting placed above the bed by Lara Schnitger (pictured below).

On the ground floor Marc Selwyn Fine Art presented Jennifer Aniston's Used Book Sale, artist Kristen Morgin's incredibly realistic ceramic replicas of books she imagines might make up the actress' collection (the VHS tape is real).

At a hotel in a completely different part of town was the stARTup Art Fair, taking place at The Kinney in Venice. Here, instead of galleries representing the artists, it's the artists that set up their rooms and sell their art.  It made for a great experience as the artists were all very friendly and eager to discuss their work. Below are a few highlights from the fair.

San Francisco artists Lisa Kairos and Melissa Mohammadi's room was filled with really beautiful work. Kairos makes dreamy multilayered paintings based on natural landscapes. She then cuts patterns into the images which adds yet another dimension to the paintings. Mohammadi's work incorporates botanical and marine life into a meditative world where bright pastels stand out among subdued watercolor backgrounds; highly detailed sections mix with the more abstract. The end result for both artists is work you want to spend time looking at.

Husband and wife artists Eric Rewitzer and Annie Galvin of 3 Fish Studios in San Francisco had lots of great, affordable prints. They also teach printmaking and collage classes in their studio.

Artist Camila Magrane had several pieces in her darkened hotel room that use augmented reality technology to make the works animated and three dimensional when looked at through her Virtual Mutations app. The video above illustrates the effect.

Jeff Horton uses his architecture background to create paintings of urban structures (often larger than what's pictured above), some of which incorporate wax with oil paint for an added layer.

Other artists work not shown but worth checking out- Los Angeles based Margaret Hyde makes ethereal still life photographs of natural objects she finds and combines with water, and Kyong Ae Kim showed a variety of impressive work including her animal skulls cut from multiple layers of drafting film and acrylic paintings combined with hand cut elements.

NEW IN THE BOOKSHOP: ROBERT HEINEKEN : Selected Works 1966-1986 (1986) First printing of this very uncommon exhibition catalog for a show of Robert Heineken’s work at Gallery Min in Tokyo, 1986. Illustrated throughout with many fine examples of Heinecken’s various bodies of works with numerous colour and some black and white photographs, accompanied by an introductory text (in Japanese and English) by Mark Johnstone. Designed by Hideyuki Taguchi and printed in Japan. “Heinecken transformed the possibilities of the medium and had a profound impact on many photography-based artists who studied with him. Influenced by Dada and Surrealism, especially Marcel Duchamp, Man Ray and John Heartfield, Heinecken worked with numerous photographic techniques and materials, oftentimes combining them with various printmaking processes. In addition, to offset lithography and etching, he made use of film transparencies, photographic emulsion on canvas, gelatin silver prints mounted to wood (e.g., “Multiple Solution Puzzle” Series), Polaroid materials, mixed media collage and photograms (e.g., ARE YOU REA and Recto/Verso Series).” Robert Heinecken (1931 – 2006) was an American artist who referred to himself as a “paraphotographer” because he so often made photographic images without a camera. In 1962, he founded the photography program at UCLA. He taught there until 1991. In 1964 he helped found the Society for Photographic Education, an organization of college-level teachers. He also taught at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, where his second wife, Joyce Neimanas, was on faculty. They split their time between the two cities for several years before they moved to New Mexico in 2004. During his life he was mainly shown in traditional photography galleries, but two contemporary art galleries in L.A. began staging exhibitions of his work after his death: Marc Selwyn Fine Art and Cherry and Martin. Curators like Eva Respini at the Museum of Modern Art now place his work in a conceptual art lineage, associating him with Pictures Generations artists such as Cindy Sherman, John Baldessari and Richard Prince.

Press Release:

Marc Selwyn Fine Art is pleased to present our first exhibition with the artist Pedro Wirz, Termite Terminators on view from August 15 through September 19, 2020. We invite you to experience the exhibition in person by appointment. To schedule a visit please contact andy@marcselwynfineart.com.

Born and raised in the tropical Paraiba Valley in Brazil, Wirz is influenced by the region’s massively changing ecologies, demographics, mythologies, and superstitions. In the face of environmental decline, Wirz investigates the interwoven realm of the organic, the synthetic, and the technological, as each become forces for both extinction and renewal.

Wirz, who lives and works in Zurich, was awarded the Gramercy International Prize for his exhibition at the New York Armory Show in 2020 and was the 2018 recipient of the ProHelvetia Cahier d’Artistes Prize. The artist’s sculptures were also included in KölnSkulptur #9 at Skulpturenpark Köln in 2017.

An essay by Giampaolo Bianconi written for this exhibition may be found below.

  Termite Terminators

by Giampaolo Bianconi

Beeswax is a particularly long-lasting material. Samples recovered from thousands of years ago are nearly indistinguishable from fresh beeswax. If it decays, its decay is imperceptible. Insects don’t seem to want to eat it. Kept from excessive heat, the lifespan of beeswax is indefinite. These works by Pedro Wirz feature a few different objects—mostly toy cars, but also toy airplanes and cement casts of eggs and other shapes—set in beeswax. Wirz frames the works using scraps of wood wrapped in fabric rags.

Beeswax is an ideal material for Wirz, whose works emerge from a nexus of natural history and ecological catastrophe. Wirz has worked extensively with organic materials including rocks, dirt, hair, and twigs. Wirz uses these materials to explore the conceptual implications of deep time beyond the human capacity for understanding, reframing human experience as a fragment of a larger scientific and supernatural history. Beeswax, with its longue durée, reveals in these works the presence of multiple timescales–the eternity of the wax, the lifecycle of the toys, the limited lifespan of the vehicles they represent, and the potential futures embodied by the enigmatic cement eggs that have been scattered throughout the compositions.

One of Wirz’s Trilobites (2013/2017/2020) sits in the middle of the gallery–a rock topped by a bronze-cast fried egg. Wirz’s trilobite, sometimes shown outdoors, provides a canny joke at the center of the exhibition. Named after an ancient fossil, the sculpture immediately brings the viewer into another timescale and confuses our perception of time itself. Is it the fried egg that has been fossilized? Or has it just taken millions of years for the egg to fry on top of a rock?

Around the trilobite hang the beeswax works. At first glance, the whimsy of these compositions is most striking. The choreography of the toys embedded in the wax—whether dryly hugging the frame, claustrophobically docked together, or playfully annular—combined with their glossy finish appears gleeful and boyish. But upon further reflection, one comes to realize the varying temporalities Wirz has contrasted. The longevity of the beeswax makes it ideal to hold onto these toys and fragments. But have the cars been preserved or abandoned? Are they victims of a great flood or simply resting in a variety of parking lots?

Looking closely, it is apparent that the toy cars are branded with symbols for police and fire departments, as well as other fictional businesses. One of them has inspired the title of the exhibition: Termite Terminators. Termites, finding delicious wood, will eat and reproduce until the condition of their existence–the wood that sustains them–has been totally devoured and disappeared. Then they enter a crisis of dislocation until they can find another source of food and shelter. Termites, in their ravishing hunger, terminate the condition of their existence. Cars, like termites, are doggedly engaged in wasting the reserves of oil and gas that allow them to function. At what point will toy cars themselves become obsolete? When the resources by which they are fueled are decimated? When cars have been subsumed by the very climatic catastrophe they have helped ignite? Once trapped in wax, the joyous life-cycle represented by these toys becomes an avatar for the more sinister and destructive implications of history’s deep time, of which they are agitators and victims at the same time.

Yet even in this vision of ecological catastrophe there remains a seed of optimism and hope. Wirz’s cement eggs are sprinkled throughout the compositions. Something, it appears, is waiting to hatch here. What creatures will be born in the world we leave behind, in the wreckage of abandoned automobiles and unfinished construction sites? Will they, too, fall into the same circular trap of the Termite Terminators? Or will their history take a different direction, a different shape? Only time, Wirz knows, will tell. And perhaps only the beeswax will bear witness.

This exhibition was coordinated in conjunction with Kai Matsumiya, New York.

Recent solo and two person presentations of Wirz’s work include exhibitions at Galerie Nagel Draxler, Berlin and Cologne; Kai Matsumiya, New York; Instituto Tomie Ohtake, São Paulo and at Murias Centeno Gallery, Porto. His work has also been presented at the Kunsthalle Langethal, Switzerland; Centre Culturel Suisse, Paris; Tinguely Museum, Basel; CCS Bard Hessel Museum of Art; Künstlerhaus Stuttgart; Dortmunder Kunstverein; Palais de Tokyo, Paris and at Kunsthalle Basel. In 2016, he was the artist in residence at the Swiss Institute Rome, and he has recently completed a residency at the Akademie der Künste in Berlin. Wirz has been awarded the ProHelvetia Cahier d’Artistes Prize in 2018 and had his first monographic book presented during Art Basel in 2019. Born in 1981 in Pindamonhangaba, Brazil, Wirz currently lives and works in Zürich, Switzerland.

Take a selfie at each space you visit and spend some time with the art. Pay attention to your responses, especially strong reactions. What do you love and hate about the work you encounter? Taking stock of your reactions can help to provide meaningful insight about your own perspective and point of view as artists and designers.

2.) Attend at least one of the following exhibitions (as seen in images above, from top): Fluid Dynamics: Channing Hansen at Marc Selwyn Fine Art / Chagall: Fantasies for the Stage at LACMA / The US Mexico Border: Place, Imagination and Possibility at CAFAM / Radical Women: Latin American Art, 1960-1985 at the Hammer Museum

3.) Post a reflection about your experiences to your blog. Post selfies of where you went and write about what you thought about the work you experienced there. (This post needs to be on your blog by the end of the semester to receive extra credit.)

The extra credit points allotted will be based on the thoughtfulness and quality of your response post. This post can be worth anywhere from 1 to 6 points toward your grade for this course and will be applied to wherever you need it.

Hyperallergic: Ladies First at the 2017 ADAA Art Show

One of the main aisles at the 2017 ADAA Art Show, with David Alfaro Siqueiros’s “La Patrona” (1939) in the Mary-Anne Martin Fine Art boot at left (all photos by the author for Hyperallergic)

It’s so refreshing to visit an art fair dominated by women artists, all the more so when it’s the Art Dealers Association of America’s Art Show, which serves some kind of gatekeeper function as a fair particularly concerned with defining and promoting the canon of modern and contemporary art. For this year’s edition of the fair, 72 exhibitors have filled the Park Avenue Armory, and what feels (to me and others) like a record number of them have devoted their booths to women.

Betty Tompkins, “Cow Cunt #1” (1976), in the PPOW booth at the 2017 ADAA Art Show

There are solo presentations of contemporary stars like Huma Bhabha (Salon 94), Joyce Pensato (Petzel), and Betty Tompkins (PPOW), and enshrined masters like Lee Krasner (Paul Kasmin Gallery), Louise Bourgeois (Peter Blum Gallery), and Lee Bontecou and Jay DeFeo (Marc Selwyn Fine Art). There’s a historical presentation devoted to the influential Downtown Gallery that Edith Halpert founded in Greenwich Village in 1926 (James Reinish & Associates, Inc.). Finally, there are booths devoted to rigorous conceptualists like the Land artist Michelle Stuart (Leslie Tonkonow Artworks + Projects) and the playful interventions of Liliana Porter (Hosfelt).

The fair offers many opportunities to enjoy compact surveys of late artists who were woefully under-recognized during their lifetimes (like Birgit Jürgenssen, Dorothy Antoinette LaSelle, and Evelyn Statsinger). It’s also a place to get acquainted with the evolving work of women artists at different stages of their careers (including Elisheva Biernoff, Zilia Sánchez, and Kay WalkingStick). The fair’s hushed and (relatively) calm atmosphere makes it that much easier to delve deeply into these artists’ works.

Birgit Jürgenssen, “Untitled (Nun)” (1990), in the Fergus McCaffrey booth at the 2017 ADAA Art Show

Birgit Jürgenssen, “Nest” (1979/2002), in the Fergus McCaffrey booth at the 2017 ADAA Art Show

Fergus McCaffrey’s booth devoted to Austrian Birgit Jürgenssen spans three distinct bodies of work. It includes her overtly feminist photography, her sculptural assemblages that take up similar themes in somewhat more ambiguous arrangements, and her more enigmatic but startling grids of found and original photographs under fabric. Spanning the 1970s to the ’90s and all those materials, the work nevertheless feels unified and begs for a more comprehensive institutional survey.

Works by Dorothy Antoinette LaSelle in the Inman Gallery booth at the 2017 ADAA Art Show

Dorothy Antoinette LaSelle, “Composition 10” (1948), in the Inman Gallery booth at the 2017 ADAA Art Show

Dorothy Antoinette LaSelle, “Untitled (red triangle)” (1953), in the Inman Gallery booth at the 2017 ADAA Art Show

Works by Dorothy Antoinette LaSelle in the Inman Gallery booth at the 2017 ADAA Art Show

Houston’s Inman Gallery is showing the startling geometric abstractions of Dorothy Antoinette LaSelle, an artist who was well known in Texas but has received little exposure elsewhere since her death in 2002. The works on view here, all made between 1946 and 1956, feel vibrant and exciting, occasionally flickering with a suggestion of figurative subject matter amid their popping hues and strong lines.

Evelyn Statsinger, “Shell Masks” (1975), in the Richard Gray Gallery booth at the 2017 ADAA Art Show

Evelyn Statsinger, “Sound Raga (Fall)” (1977), in the Richard Gray Gallery booth at the 2017 ADAA Art Show

Untitled monoprints (both 1951) by Evelyn Statsinger in the Richard Gray Gallery booth at the 2017 ADAA Art Show

Evelyn Statsinger, “Twins” (ca 1950), in the Richard Gray Gallery booth at the 2017 ADAA Art Show

Untitled photograms (both 1949) by Evelyn Statsinger in the Richard Gray Gallery booth at the 2017 ADAA Art Show

Untitled copper and brass sculptures (both ca 1950) by Evelyn Statsinger in the Richard Gray Gallery booth at the 2017 ADAA Art Show

No other artist featured at the ADAA Art Show this year is as dexterous as Evelyn Statsinger. Richard Gray Gallery’s booth features a full spread of work by the Chicagoan artist, who died last year, from her colorful and whimsical paintings of the 1970s — which often caused her to be lumped in with the Chicago Imagists — to earlier experiments with photograms, monoprints, and sculpture.

Works by Elisheva Biernoff in the Fraenkel Gallery booth at the 2017 ADAA Art Show

Elisheva Biernoff, “Gary + Paul” (2015), in the Fraenkel Gallery booth at the 2017 ADAA Art Show

Elisheva Biernoff, “The Passion” (2014), in the Fraenkel Gallery booth at the 2017 ADAA Art Show

What look like vintage photographs on display in pristine glass cases in Fraenkel Gallery’s booth are in fact exhaustively rendered paintings by the young San Francisco-based artist Elisheva Biernoff. The level of detail is stunning, from the painted stamps on the backs of the works to seemingly handwritten notes in the faux photographs’ margins. These tiny snapshots invite viewers to imagine the lives and times of their subjects.

Works by Zilia Sánchez in the Galerie Lelong booth at the 2017 ADAA Art Show

Zilia Sánchez, “Topología” (“Topology,” 2015), in the Galerie Lelong booth at the 2017 ADAA Art Show

Zilia Sánchez, “Topología erótica (from the series ‘las Amazonas’)” (1968), in the Galerie Lelong booth at the 2017 ADAA Art Show

Zilia Sánchez, “Furia II” (“Fury II,” 1972), in the Galerie Lelong booth at the 2017 ADAA Art Show

The Cuban-born, Puerto Rico-based artist Zilia Sánchez has been painting abstract forms on shaped canvases for decades, and a group of these elegant works spanning the 1960s to 2015 are on view in Galerie Lelong’s booth. The clean lines and cool palettes of the shaped canvases contrast nicely with a pair of comparatively chaotic drawings hanging alongside them.

Works by Kay WalkingStick in the June Kelly Gallery booth at the 2017 ADAA Art Show

Kay WalkingStick, “Eccentric Lines” (1982), in the June Kelly Gallery booth at the 2017 ADAA Art Show

Works by Kay WalkingStick in the June Kelly Gallery booth at the 2017 ADAA Art Show

Kay WalkingStick, “North Rim Clouds” (2016), in the June Kelly Gallery booth at the 2017 ADAA Art Show

Two bodies of paintings by the Cherokee artist Kay WalkingStick are on view in June Kelly Gallery‘s booth. Though her textured abstractions of the 1980s are more immediately gripping, there’s an enigmatic and transporting power to her most recent works, which feature expansive views of landscapes in the Western US overlaid with decorative patterns drawn from the indigenous cultures that once called the corresponding lands home. These subtle, elegant works hint at long histories of systemic violence; in their quiet way, they are among the most pointed political works on view at the ADAA Art Show.

The ADAA Art Show continues at the Park Avenue Armory (Park Avenue at 67th Street, Upper East Side, Manhattan) through March 5.

NEW IN THE BOOKSHOP: ROBERT HEINEKEN : Selected Works 1966-1986 (1986) First printing of this very uncommon exhibition catalog for a show of Robert Heineken’s work at Gallery Min in Tokyo, 1986. Illustrated throughout with many fine examples of Heinecken’s various bodies of works with numerous colour and some black and white photographs, accompanied by an introductory text (in Japanese and English) by Mark Johnstone. Designed by Hideyuki Taguchi and printed in Japan. “Heinecken transformed the possibilities of the medium and had a profound impact on many photography-based artists who studied with him. Influenced by Dada and Surrealism, especially Marcel Duchamp, Man Ray and John Heartfield, Heinecken worked with numerous photographic techniques and materials, oftentimes combining them with various printmaking processes. In addition, to offset lithography and etching, he made use of film transparencies, photographic emulsion on canvas, gelatin silver prints mounted to wood (e.g., “Multiple Solution Puzzle” Series), Polaroid materials, mixed media collage and photograms (e.g., ARE YOU REA and Recto/Verso Series).” Robert Heinecken (1931 – 2006) was an American artist who referred to himself as a “paraphotographer” because he so often made photographic images without a camera. In 1962, he founded the photography program at UCLA. He taught there until 1991. In 1964 he helped found the Society for Photographic Education, an organization of college-level teachers. He also taught at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, where his second wife, Joyce Neimanas, was on faculty. They split their time between the two cities for several years before they moved to New Mexico in 2004. During his life he was mainly shown in traditional photography galleries, but two contemporary art galleries in L.A. began staging exhibitions of his work after his death: Marc Selwyn Fine Art and Cherry and Martin. Curators like Eva Respini at the Museum of Modern Art now place his work in a conceptual art lineage, associating him with Pictures Generations artists such as Cindy Sherman, John Baldessari and Richard Prince.

Press Release:

Eden is a mythical place, a utopia lost, an idea of nature corrupted by human fallibility. The exhibition Dead Eden examines sex, death, and violence against the conception of the edenic state, questioning whether it ever existed or if, in fact, nature contains a worm corrupting it from inside. At a time of political instability, nascent fascism, and environmental degradation, Thanatos and Eros loom darkly.
