ROBERT PATTINA - MILAN

LUNA 57

opening: 21 Luglio '09 ore:18,30

c/o Voghera11 ArtGallery, Milano

Voghera 11 ArtGallery, in occasione del quarantesimo anniversario dello sbarco lunare (impresa dell' Apollo 11) presenterà il noto quadro “LUNA 57" dell'eclettico artista Roberto Pattina che anticipando tutti i mezzi di comunicazione ha "regalato" le prime immagini lunari.

Luna 57 rappresenta l'incipit del Manifesto dell' astralismo di cui Roberto Pattina è il fondatore. L'esposizione dunque è un omaggio ad un grande artista e ad una grande opera.

La data di apertura avverrà in concomitanza con il giorno più importante dell'umanità:

21 luglio 09 alle ore 18.30. L'esposizione proseguirà fino alla fine del mese.


MANIFESTO DEL MOVIMENTO ASTRALE

PROGRAMMA ATOMICO ASTRALE_ Dicembre 59

Nel 1957, alcuni mesi prima del lancio del SATELLITE, in occasione di una mostra personale a Marina di Carrara, lanciammo il 1° programma dell’”ASTALISMO “ diffuso oralmente all’eterogeneo pubblico formato da poeti, marinai, artisti, pescatori, filosofi, pensatori. Nel febbraio del 59 in una intervista concessa alla R.A.I. rilasciammo i punti fondamentali della pittura “atomica -astrale” i cui cardini furono trasmessi alle ore 12,45 sul T.G. del 13-12-1959-FI-2. A quasi a tre anni di distanza diffondiamo la III edizione dell’ASTRALISMO.

1) l’ arte è la proiezione dell’ EPOCA. L’epoca è oggi “ atomica- astrale “ L’arte è atomica-astrale.

2) Con il radar della fantasia realizzeremo colori astrali prima sconosciuti

3) Useremo tutte le tecniche che l’arte astratta ci ha trasmesso , ma noi non consideriamo lo SPERIMENTALISMO come fine a se stesso. La tecnica è mezzo dell’arte.

4) L’astrattismo è l’arte di ieri. L’ASTRALISMO è l’arte di oggi. Noi non sappiamo, se gli universi, siano destinati a spegnersi. A questo dubbio contrapponiamo l’asserzione: SIAMO NELL’UNIVESO, DUNQUE SIAMO.

5) L’astralismo è la condizione ESISTENSIALE dell’uomo moderno il cui spirito ha
ricevuto uno shock a causa delle mirabili scoperte scientifiche. Già gli Eraclitei avevano
intuito le forze atomistiche dell’Universo. Noi siamo al centro di un novello Rinascimento. La pittura,l’arte atomica-astrale, riflette il dualismo GIOIA-ANGOSCIA.
Gioia, esaltazione spirituale, per essere noi partecipi dell’universo astrale, particelle
Ragionanti che saranno fra poco, in comunioni con altre particelle ragionanti di altri mondi
astrali. Angoscia, disperazione per la consapevolezza del pericolo di scoperte atomiche distruttive

6 ) Nei grandi periodi di Maturità artistica come il TRECENTO e il R INASCIMENTO,
L’ arte esprimeva la condizione esistenziale dei tempi. Giotto espresse
la GRAZIA, la delicatezza, lo spirito di geometria del paesaggio toscano, la luminosa
purezza dei poeti del “dolce stil nuovo “ e tutto questo era l’euritmia, aneliti del tempo suo,
così come MICHELANGELO, espresse con lo spirito di potenza, la grandiosità del tempo,
l’anelito alle scoperte nuove (come LEONARDO) dell’uomo come CENTRO
DELL’UNVERSO. Oggi l’atralismo è il riflesso del tempo nostro. Di questo
dinamicissimo,novello meraviglioso RINASCIMENTO.

Ci permettiamo rivolgere un invito ad artisti, poeti, filosofi, uomini della strada di
collaborare con noi.

THEORY OF THE UNFORESEEN - SAN FRANCISCO

Mary Anne Kluth and Laurel Roth: Theory of the Unforeseen

Gallery Reception
September 03, 2009
6:00 to 9:00 pm

Laurel Roth and Mary Anne Kluth are both fascinated by the process author Michael Pollan describes as "reductive science".

Roth's new works will examine the ways that science has enabled industrialized farming to manipulate humanity's place in a larger ecosystem. Using hardwoods carved and polished by hand to a perfect Brancusi-like finish, she meticulously recreates the largely unseen remains of food animals such as cows and pigs. Embellished with Swarovski crystals, and presented like relics, these bones celebrate the very evidence of selective breeding omitted in discussions of the current system of food consumption in the United States.

Kluth's new paintings will depict the dissonant relationship between humanity and landscape that can result when one focuses too closely on empirical perceptions. Contrasting loose, spontaneous mark-making with obsessive techniques and photo-realist depiction, the resulting images will relate the tragic romanticism of radio astronomers, individuals that spend their lives staring at computer models of places and events impossible to directly experience.

Both artists are interested in the ways people attempt to articulate a human niche in the cosmos, and the human strategies that both propel and foil that endeavor.

ASHLEY COLLINS - JACKSON

Diehl Gallery is very proud to present one of the top five living contemporary female artists in the world

Join us for Ashley Collins' first solo exhibition in Jackson Hole

Ticketed preview benefiting Jackson Hole Community School's Scholarship Fund: Wednesday, July 22nd, 2009
6:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m.

Public Opening: Thursday, July 23rd, 2009
5:00 - 8:00 p.m.

A special preview benefiting the Jackson Hole Community School’s Scholarship Fund will take place the prior evening on Wednesday, July 22nd, from 6:00 – 9:00 p.m. Diehl Gallery and Ashley Collins are proud to give back to the Jackson community and support educational initiatives for children. Collectors may write up to 20% of the purchase price of artwork directly to the Jackson Hole Community School Scholarship Fund for a ten day period commencing at the opening. For tickets, please call Karen Hodges at the school: 307.733.5427.

About Ashley Collins:
From sleeping on concrete studio floors to breaking price point records for living female contemporary painters, Ashley Collins has produced a diverse composition of works, which can be found with collectors ranging from Robert Redford to Sally Horchow, from Kate Capshaw to Gianluca Galtrucco, Ringo Starr to George Rosenthal, Blythe Danner Paltrow to Holly Hunt, Danny Sullivan III to the Sultan of Brunei. Currently buyers of Collins’ work are comprised of both sophisticated contemporary collectors adding to their collections of Rothenberg, Graham, Ruscha, Francis, Goode, and Rauschenberg, among others, and high net worth individuals that are simply drawn to the work. Collins has surpassed both trend and time to create works which are distinct and carry an imprint which is instantly recognizable. It is these very traits that have caused the price points to keep rising as more and more collectors drive prices. Collins has exhibited with Robert Rauschenberg, Jim Dine, Laddie Dill, Robert Motherwell, and others as her journey has progressed from rejection into successful acquisition by collectors, dealers and museums worldwide.

Collins’ process has evolved during her 25 year artistic journey. The paper aged in her studios, the process of application, the hidden or obscured imagery, and the figurative incorporation of animals, humans, and invocation of text -collectively evoke a calm which overcomes the information overload of daily life. Collins’ use of resin provides both depth and the desire to touch each piece. The resin which Collins’ moves across the work with fire from a torch not only provides a protective coating, but also aids in viewing the depth of layers. Many works have in excess of 30 or more layers –the amount of time that goes into each piece is simply astonishing.

Initially, the sheer scale of her works is overwhelming, particularly given Collins 5’3” frame. Collins’ series of 8’ x10’ paintings, “Portrait Series” amplifies the faces of horses to mythic proportions. Her series of 7’ x 8’ and 8 x 10’ abstract works are so layered as to create a constant invitation to the viewer to find anew with each viewing some piece of the puzzle. Collins’ work “Lass” has a repeated text that perhaps describes her work best: “I have spent most of my adult years erasing the layers of reality that covered the beautiful truths of childhood.”

UPROOTED: GROUP DRAWING SHOW - BROOKLYN

Uprooted: Group Drawing Show
July 9 – August 24, 2009
Public Reception: July 10th, 6 – 9 PM

Featuring: Sasha Blanton, Kevin Bourgeois, Abby Hertz, Eric Johnston, Melissa Murray, Joseph Smolinski, and Homer Yost.

Brooklyn, New York, Ch’i Contemporary Fine Art is excited to present Uprooted: Group Drawing Show, an exhibition addressing the current cultural climate through issues such as technology’s response to nature and the repercussions of unconscious human action. Join us on Friday, July 10th from 6 – 9 PM for a public reception with the artists at the gallery’s Williamsburg location of 293 Grand Street between Roebling and Havemeyer.

The public is invited to attend this event and visit the gallery during regular hours: Wed – Sun 11 AM – 7 PM, and Mon. 9 AM – 5 PM. For more information contact the gallery at 718.218.8939.

Sasha Blanton’s battleships situated nowhere symbolize the future of North American culture with regards to our global position. As stated by the artist, “we are rusting out, left to crumble – we are sinking.”

Whereas Kevin Bourgeois’s surrealistic pop inspired graphite drawings address the human conditions of truth, beauty and love in our consumer driven society.

Abby Hertz’s stylized drawings based on female genitalia are a contemporary take on feminism. In “Covered” the sinuous vaginal lines evoke the tendrils of arboreal landscapes, buried beneath the soil - she uncovers their potency.

In addition, Melissa Murray’s drawings of animals in incongruous settings represent the detachment humans have from our primal origins. In her own words, “these creatures represent purity, and personify my dreams and fears for our collective future.”

For Eric Johnston ghost stories mingle with memories of the Texas marshland where he grew up and morph themselves into visionary designs. In “A People’s Power Plant” Johnston transforms an archetypal Baltimore dwelling and attaches to it multiple solar panels creating an imaginary structure and the possibilities of hybridization.

Joseph Smolinksi’s graphite drawings examine the interaction between one of the oldest
living organisms on earth and its current nemesis cellular towers. In the vast landscapes of this country where are confronted with the irreverence commercial society has for the integral process of life and death.

Lastly, Homer Yost's triptych drawings in graphite and conte address issues of homelessness in our country - the very uprooting of a person leaving them adrift.
