Artist Statement: My greatest desire is to reveal a deeper truth by exploring the visual experience. For many years, I have been moved by the spherical Mandala as a universal scientific and metaphysical form. Its shape echoes manifestations in our own cells, unfolding flowers or patterns in the deepest reaches of space. I am interested in naturally formed phenomena devoid of artificial boundaries and their contrast to structures like a pyramid or grid. Our lives are inherently connected to the whole of its people, its natural wonder, spirit and momentum. By magnifying the outlook of a flourishing sustainability with impending disaster, I aspire to better understand the consequences we face in our experience of modern life.

Joe Mangrum’s installations have been shared with national and international audiences. In 2008 Joe was invited to create site-specific installations for the All Points West and Mile High Music Festivals in the US. He was also selected for an International Juried Show at Viridian Artists, Inc. curated by Elisabeth Sussman of the Whitney Museum. Also while completing a residency in China, Joe created a living sculpture using air-plants titled “Retail Transmutation” at the exhibited at the Sunshine Museum in Beijing. Past accolades include the 2003 Lorenzo de Medici Award in “New Media” at the Florence Biennale for his striking piece “Fragile”. An alumnus of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Joe began his training as a painter and while traveling abroad moved toward installations of found objects. He continues to explore mediums and materials in his work.

WIlliamsburg Gallery Association, L Magazine and Northside Music and Arts Festival : The WGA is pleased to announce their groundbreaking partnership with the Northside Festival, June 11 - 14, 2009. This watershed event is the first of its kind, exposing the simmering hotbed of artistic and musical talent that Williamsburg has to offer.

The WGA brings the dynamic art and music of Williamsburg together in an unparalleded celebration of Brooklyn’s thriving art scene.

Ch'i Contemporary Fine Art, established in Williamsburg, Brooklyn in 1999 and directed by Tracy Causey-Jeffery is committed to exhibiting vibrant contemporary art by living artists: both mid-career and emerging. Ch'i hosts 11-15 exhibitions annually with their artists coming from across America, Asia, Europe and South America.

I AM BY BIRTH A GEVENESE - LONDON

PRIVATE VIEW: THURSDAY 18 JUNE 18:30 - 21:00

Vegas Gallery is pleased to present ‘I am by birth a Genevese’ , an installation project imagined by Swiss artist Alexandre Bianchini and French/Swiss artist Pascal Rousson to re-enact the strange atmosphere of Doctor Frankenstein’s laboratory and generate a new art work, a new creature. Made of several and diverse works, purposely clashing with each other, their creation will only been revealed on the evening of the preview.

More than 160 artists have accepted their invitation, and if the majority of the works are not particularly shocking, most of them thrive on the idea of weirdness, or possess an inner weirdness (either by the medium, process, or subject used within the work), and their relation to the theme will make sense when displayed altogether. Following Frankenstein’s experience, each work being a metaphor of the scavenged body parts used to conceive the Creature, they were interested to produce an installation, a creature, made out of very eclectic works, in order to create a visual surprise, looking to see if coherence will appear within the accident and the apparent disaster. It also allows them to play with the popular conception of the artist who depicts him as possessed, literally occupied by an inspired spirit that creates and self-destructs.

Both Alexandre Bianchini and Pascal Rousson practices thrive already on the understanding of the nature of art and artist: sourcing and then manipulating their material surroundings, they play with the idea of facades, stage or theatre, and present artists as self-mythologizing thieves of ideas and images. Their practices highlight the social framework conditions within which the artists’ personal relationships are developed, and the inevitability of citations in a post-modernist world who questions the model of artistic imagination and the loss of meaning of images. In this instance, the parallel with the theme of Frankenstein came to them naturally, through the notions of creation, invention and imagination, present within any artistic practice.

This project questions also the different way of exhibiting artworks, through the tradition of Salons and Cabinets of Curiosities, who used to be the only places where art works where exhibited and without curatorial approach. In this instance, the installation can be seen as a critic and metaphor for the role of museum curator, seen as a fake god who tries, through new arrangement and themes, to create a new meaning for works which are fading away trapped in those graves for contemporary art. By opposition, Alexandre Bianchini and Pascal Rousson wish to conduct experimentation, stressing on the visual result rather than a theme: the theme is merely a pretext for the visual clash and experience.

By the juxtaposition of various works within the installation, and their status as parts of a larger whole rather than as self-contained pictorial objects, the installation challenges the concept of art and artists as singular entities, as well as the art’s dissident vision of itself.

Melanie MOREAU

The exhibition will also be shown at Forde-Usine (Geneva), from 8 September to 4 October 2009.

‘I am by birth a Genevese’ is sponsored by Pro Helvetia/Swiss Embassy/Migros pour-cent culturel/Ville de Geneve/Fond d’art contemporain de la ville de Geneve (fmac)

HAVARD PEDERSEN - VANCOUVER

New Works is a solo exhibition by the Norwegian-Vancouver based artist Havard Pedersen. The exhibition consists of three separate projects that deal with different considerations of narrative structures. Through a formal investigation into the formats of video, music, and text Pedersen attempts to negate the implied linear programming of these mediums in favor of alternative modes of representation.

For the work Drums Pedersen samples Justin Timberlake’s track Like I Love You utilizing an iconic break in the middle of the pop song’s climax. Like I Love You follows the usual two-part construction of —melody and lyrics—however Pederson’s interest is not their harmonious relationship but Timberlake’s gesture of speaking to the melody and thus recognizing the songs internal structure. In only sampling a vacant space embedded between the parts of the song, then looping the selected section, Pederson provides an infinite break that relieves the musical component from the song; allowing the viewer to consider the integral modes of presentation rather than the music.

The video Flashmaster is a looped rendering of a bodybuilder bench-pressing his maximum weight. The action is never completed as Pedersen edits out the extension leaving the man in a state of unsettled equilibrium. The artist’s interest in bodybuilding stems from the sports relationship to forms of abstract art. A critique of abstraction is that it is essentially about nothing as it speaks an insular language that’s self-perpetuated by its practitioners. Similarly this can be related to the formal consideration of a bodybuilder’s body as containing a type of beauty that is subjected to the knowledge and practice of a fellow bodybuilder.

Talk Show Excerpt takes form as a scripted re-presentation of a Norwegian talk show. Pedersen returns this popular television show to its preliminary scripted state whilst further exaggerating the innate “dry” tone of the dialogue by means of editing the selected section. This gesture of sampling, editing, and re-presenting is coherent between each of the works; provoking an unavoidable relationship between each of the pieces as well as an objective monotony within the gallery space. As Pedersen consistently reveals the inner-workings of his mediums he further puts into question the assumed narrative structures of his selected subjects.
