ALDRICH ART MUSEUM EXHIBITIONS - RIDGEFIELD
New Exhibitions:Dave Cole: Flags of the World (February 14 to May 31, 2009)
Installed in the Museum’s lobby, Dave Cole’s work Flags of the World #3 is one of a series of American flags that the artist has painstakingly handcrafted. Each flag in the series is composed from all of the red, white, and blue found in the 192 flags of the countries that are members of the United Nations, and is accompanied by the resulting leftover fragments, displayed in an adjacent laundry basket. Carefully sewn together in the manner of a quilt, the iconic symbol is turned by Cole into an object that engenders contemplation on the character of the United States in an age of growing globalization.
Alejandro Diaz: Blame It On Mexico(February 21 to June 7, 2009)
Alejandro Diaz uses humor to draw attention to the culturally embedded racial stereotypes with which he is familiar from his bicultural Mexican/Texan upbringing. At The Aldrich, Diaz will create a series of language-related works that further his acclaimed cardboard signs by incorporating them into sculptural elements, ultimately reversing stereotypical perceptions. For example, the artist disrupts an anthropological diorama of ingredients and tools for preparing a traditional Mexican “tortilla” by presenting a cardboard sign that states that Lupe, the cook, is on a break. Assimilated in contemporary culture, she is no longer as quiet, passive, or willing as the stereotype—or a traditional diorama—would proclaim.
Robert Lazzarini: Guns and Knives (February 25 to September 13, 2009)
Robert Lazzarini’s Guns and Knives will continue the artist’s exploration of the reconfiguration of objects through the use of compound planar and sine-wave distortions. This installation will feature a series of .38 Smith and Wesson revolvers and a cluster of kitchen knives, addressing repetition of the single object and variation within the group. Lazzarini will subject the Leir Gallery walls to subtle transformations, activating not only the sculptural figures, but also the visual ground. The installation will create an immanent space, emphasizing the artist’s interest in phenomenology and physically seeing. The works become a meditation on fear and violence, contrasting reductive display with charged subject matter and its inherent rational and irrational aspects.
Frank Poor: Enon Cemetery—Main Street Sculpture Project (February 7 to May 24, 2009)
Frank Poor’s memory-laden outdoor work, Enon Cemetery, is based on a graveyard in Woodstock, Georgia, the small community where the artist was born and grew up. Composed of over 20 life-size grave markers (some over 15 feet tall), each element in the installation references an actual marker in the cemetery. The patterns on each of the hand-painted plywood markers are blown-up fragments of the text found on each specific gravestone. Although the process for the artist is a very personal one (numerous relatives are interred in the cemetery), the abstraction of the text makes the work more universal, evoking the spirit of the displaced burial ground. The markers will be installed so the primary view of them is from the Museum’s Camera Obscura, with the dark and ethereal image further amplifying the sense of time’s passage inherent in the work.
David Taylor: Frontier/Frontera (February 14 to May 31, 2009)
New Mexico-based photographer David Taylor documents the complexity of the US/Mexico border, ranging from the work of patrol agents to the ancient barefoot pilgrimage up the Cristo Rey mountain that is now divided between the two countries. Taylor’s photographs differ from the complex and convoluted dynamics of the region in their beauty, clarity, and sharpness. In this exhibition, the artist explores the different notions of the frontier and the border (frontera), as understood differently by Americans and Mexicans. For Taylor, the American frontier relates to a desert that holds a utopian promise of constant renewal, whereas the Mexican notion of border is a physical limit that needs to be crossed.
Also on View:
Full Circle: Ten Years of Radius (through June 7, 2009)
This exhibition will feature work from the first ten years of Radius: Emerging Artists from Connecticut and Southeastern New York, a professional development program for regional artists, which is jointly organized by The Aldrich and the Ridgefield Guild of Artists. The exhibition will present a selection of recent works produced by alumni of the program, curated by independent curator Regine Basha of Brooklyn, New York, who was previously adjunct curator at Arthouse, in Austin, Texas. Artists: Kelly Bigelow Becerra (Bridgeport, CT), Jaclyn Conley (Brooklyn, NY), Paul Favello (West Haven, CT), Robert Federico (Mahopac, NY), Beth Gilfilen (Jersey City, NJ), Jim Hett (Darien, CT), Bryan Jones (New Haven, CT), Nathan Lewis (New Haven, CT), Christopher Mir (Hamden, CT), Mari Ogihara (Mamaroneck, NY), Alyse Rosner (Westport, CT), Joseph Smolinski (New Haven, CT), Thuan Vu (Hamden, CT), and Benjamin Weiner (Long Island City, NY).
Kwang-Young Chun: The Soul—Journey to America (through May 24, 2009)
Noted Korean artist Kwang-Young Chun makes fantastically intricate sculpture out of the recycled pages of old Korean books printed on mulberry paper. He wraps the handmade paper around Styrofoam triangles and other geometric forms that serve as the basic units of his compositions. The forms are then arranged in free-standing three-dimensional sculptures or mounted on the wall as two-dimensional low-reliefs. The artist will be producing his largest free-standing work to date—over eleven feet high—for presentation in The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum’s Project Space. The Soul—Journey to America will travel to the University of Wyoming Art Museum following its Aldrich debut.
Traveling exhibition
Video A—Harry Shearer: The Silent Echo Chamber (through May 31, 2009)
The Silent Echo Chamber is the newest video work by actor, musician, and satirist Harry Shearer. Presented on ten monitors, The Silent Echo Chamber captures well-known personalities from politics and the media in the silent moments before “going live.” Individuals portrayed include James Carville, Barack Obama, Larry King, Dr. Phil, John McCain, and Chris Matthews, each caught in the uneasy prelude to becoming the familiar animated “talking head.” Shearer’s silent portrait gallery turns the familiar into the strange, allowing visitors to project their own meaning on the awkward collective silence of those to whom Americans usually look for guidance and commentary. Over his fifty-year career, Shearer has, among other things, been a writer for Saturday Night Live, a co-creator and actor in the 1984 spoof This is Spinal Tap, host of KCRW’s radio comedy and music program Le Show, and perhaps most memorably, the voice actor for over twelve characters on The Simpsons, including Mr. Burns, Waylon Smithers, and Ned Flanders.
The Aldrich will host a reception to celebrate five new exhibitions on Sunday, March 1, 2009, from 3 to 5 pm.
In advance of the reception there will be a panel discussion at 2 pm titled Art on the Border featuring exhibiting artist David Taylor and Paul F. Wells, Field Operations Supervisor, United States Border Patrol.
Refreshments will be served. Free round-trip transportation from New York City is available for members (non-members $15). Please note that the shuttle will not arrive in time for the 2 pm panel discussion and that the pick-up location has changed. Reservations are required for transportation.
For more information, or to reserve a seat on the shuttle, please contact Priscilla Matthews at 203.438.4519 or pmatthews@aldrichart.org.
Adults $7, seniors & college students $4; members, K–12 teachers and children 18 & under FREE
Aldrich exhibitions are supported, in part, by the Connecticut Commission on Culture & Tourism and the National Endowment for the Arts.

ROSSO + NERO - TORINO
ROSSO+NEROFuturismo: per un centenario incendiario
Echaurren collezionista artista antagonista
a cura di Enzo Biffi Gentili e Luisa Perlo
20 febbraio- 5 aprile 2009
IL PROGETTO DELLA MOSTRA
A Torino e in Piemonte il Centenario del Futurismo viene celebrato al MIAAO con un evento che dimostrerà un assoluto, misconosciuto, primato “rivoluzionario”, “di sinistra”, della città e della Regione nell’ambito di quel movimento. La politica, si sa, è questione cruciale, e imbarazzante, per il Futurismo, per le sue liasons dangereuses con il Fascismo. Ma vi fu una exception piémontaise futurista, documentata sin dagli anni ’10 del ‘900. Qualche esempio: nel 1913 una delle due primissime prove di Antonio Gramsci come giornalista, sotto lo pseudonimo Alfa Gamma, sul torinese “Corriere universitario”, è proprio dedicata a una apologia del Futurismo; nel 1914 ad Alessandria il socialista Duilio Remondino pubblica il volumetto Il futurismo non può essere nazionalista (ma secondo uno specialista come Michel Antony anche un altro illustre alessandrino, Carlo Carrà, fu incontestabilmente “en peinture, l’élément le plus proche de l’anarchisme parmi les grands noms du futurisme”); nel 1916 il repubblicano, e luciniano, Terenzio Grandi pubblica il suo saggio Il futurismo tipografico. Tutte prove di un apporto subalpino, “da sinistra”, al Futurismo. Vocazione eccentrica che sarà confermata anche nella fase del Fascismo nascente e montante, a fine anni ’10 e nei primissimi anni ’20. Altri esempi: Gramsci, ancora una volta, sia in corrispondenze intrattenute con esponenti comunisti sovietici come Trotzky e Lunaciarskij, sia su “L’Ordine nuovo”, ribadirà la portata rivoluzionaria del movimento futurista, e lo stesso foglio promuoverà una visita di operai torinesi alla mostra futurista del 1922 al Winter Club nella Galleria Subalpina. Mostra che -promossa e partecipata da altri personaggi di sinistra come Franco Rampa-Rossi, Duilio Remondino, Alfonso Leonetti, e l’operaio tipografo Carlo Frassinelli teorizzatore di una Rivoluzione grafica, costituisce un estremo tentativo di alleanza tra avanguardie estetiche e proletarie nell’anno della Marcia su Roma. Lo stesso anno nel quale a Torino viene pubblicata dall’Istituto di Cultura Proletaria la plaquette di 1+1+1=1 Dinamite. Poesie proletarie. Rosso+Nero (uno di quei tre anonimi autori era Fillia, il fondatore un anno dopo, nel 1923, con Bracci e Pozzo, dei Sindacati Artistici Futuristi, la cui ideologia è ancora “proletaria”). Questo rarissimo libretto, mai prima d’ora pubblicamente esposto, sarà una “pietra angolare” della costruzione della mostra, assieme ad altri testi politici, artistici, e architettonici (difatti il cosiddetto “secondo futurismo” torinese di distinse, a livello nazionale e internazionale, per una straordinaria attività nel transmitting architecture , nel diffondere la cultura architettonica “avanguardista”).
MATERIALI E PROTAGONISTI DELLA MOSTRA
Per quanto riguarda l’architettura e la grafica, in mostra saranno visibili alcuni importanti lavori, tra i quali lo straordinario, celebre quadro Cosmopoli del 1925, di Ugo Pozzo (1900-1981), fondatore nel 1923 del Gruppo Futurista Torinese. Ma la massima parte dei documenti raccolti in mostra -alcuni, di valore storico incalcolabile- relativi ai temi sovra citati sono rarissime pubblicazioni provenienti dalla collezione, unica al mondo, di Pablo Echaurren e Claudia Salaris. Da un lato una grandissima e autorevolissima studiosa del Futurismo i cui scritti sono un riferimento obbligato per ogni cultore del movimento; dall’altro una poliedrica figura intellettuale alla quale però la mostra vuole rendere omaggio non soltanto per il suo benemerito ruolo di collezionista, ma anche per quello di artista, e “antagonista”. Infine saranno mostrati quadri, grafiche, arazzi e mosaici di Pablo Echuarren, con il quale si solleva la questione di una possibile “eredità”, non formale ma spirituale, del Futurismo, evidenziando riprese, dal secondo dopoguerra sino ai giorni nostri, della sua ambiguità ideologica, nel suo “pensiero laterale” e destabilizzante. Pablo Echaurren sarà “illustrato” anche con la ricostruzione di capitoli della sua attività che rappresentano un contributo singolare alla costruzione di un nuovo “rivoluzionario” progetto politico-culturale. La “lezione magistrale” di Echaurren non riguarda solo la sua pratica democratica delle arti applicate o le sue graphic novel dedicate a Marinetti e Majakovskij, Evola e Pound ma anche sue produzioni politico-artistiche border line svolte dal ‘68 e dal ’77 sino a oggi: dalle collaborazioni con quegli “indiani metropolitani” che Maurizio Calvesi vide come una sorta di replicanti Futuristi a quelle con i Mutoidi a Torino in occasione di Artigiano metropolitano; dalle esperienze creative svolte con Renato Curcio e Giusva Fioravanti agli interventi su variegate testate politiche, da “Lotta continua” a “Carta”. Echaurren insegna che occorre andare Al di là del comunismo (che è anche il titolo di uno scritto del 1920 di Marinetti) e del Fascismo, senza però adeguarsi a un mercificato “pensiero unico”, dominante anche nelle arti. E così si torna a Torino e a una sua intelligenza “eccentrica” e minoritaria, ancor oggi, con l’ attiva presenza di un filosofo come Costanzo Preve, di formazione marxista e tra i primi a cercare nuovamente un superamento della contrapposizione destra-sinistra. Insomma, secondo il titolo volutamente e ironicamente cheap di un testo introduttivo alla mostra di Enzo Biffi Gentili, direttore del MIAAO, si tratta un po’ di Nostalgia canaglia: del Futurismo, e, come dice nel refrain la canzoncina, “di un paese che sogna e che sbaglia”… Un certo tipo di sbagli, certo, non deve più essere più commesso, ma tuttavia oggi è troppo assente un reale “impegno” culturale, il mondo è divenuto ideologicamente troppo smorto…
IL CATALOGO DELLA MOSTRA
Il catalogo della mostra è prodotto con l’Ordine degli Architetti di Torino PPC di Torino e Provincia e della sua Fondazione e con la Camera di Commercio Industria Artigianato e Agricoltura di Torino e Provincia e sarà edito come “giornale da collezione” in 1000 copie intitolato AfterVille. Rosso+Nero, con un poster di Pablo Echaurren appositamente realizzato per il Centenario del Futurismo. Agli intervenuti al vernissage, il 20 febbraio 2009 dalle ore 18, verrà fatto omaggio del giornale-poster, firmato e dedicato ad personam dall’ artista stesso.
PERIODO DI SVOLGIMENTO E ORARI DELLA MOSTRA
La mostra si svolgerà dal 20 febbraio al 5 aprile 2009, con orario 16-19,30 dal martedì al venerdì; 11-19 il sabato e la domenica, il lunedì giorno di chiusura. L’ingresso è libero.

JAN LIEVENS - MILWAUKEE
It’s always an adventure when the Milwaukee Art Museum collaborates with the events-planning organization Cedar Block. Jan Lievens on a Jet Plane, inspired by the exhibition Jan Lievens: A Dutch Master Rediscovered, pays tribute to the seventeenth-century portrait painter and world traveler—a contemporary of Rembrandt’s hailed for his innovative style.Though nearly four hundred years have passed since the Old Master wielded his artistic prowess, a group of Milwaukee’s best and brightest artists have accepted the challenge to bring Lievens into the modern age. Taking their cue from Lievens’ portrait paintings, the artists will incorporate the latest technology into their original works —including a number of interactive exhibits—as they consider the current state of portraiture and what it may look like in the future. The artworks will be unveiled at 8 p.m.
Coinciding with the monthly MAM After Dark series, this event will also offer music delivered by a variety of DJs, DIY studio (where you can make and take your own art), cash bar, light hors d’oeuvres, and after-hours access to the newly opened Jan Lievens exhibition. The Museum Store will also be open late.

HANDSOME FURS + FRANÇOIS VIROT- PARIS
HANDSOME FURSAccouplement scénique : Alexei Perry est poétesse , son mari Dan Boeckner est le co-frontman de Wolf Parade. Sur les beats minimalistes et dansants de la première, le second envoie un chant animal, très intense, motivé par une certaine urgence sexuelle.
Un excellent second album du duo montréalais sortira en mars chez Subpop.
FRANCOIS VIROT
"Virot est un Animal Collective tout seul, c’est un Born Ruffian isolé, c’est une tête bourrée de chansons elles-mêmes plantées d’épines, redéfinissant la composition chimique de la terre et lui offrant de nouvelles atmosphères, imaginant à nouveau les origines des choses." (lesinrocks.com)
