TODD JAMES / DEVIN FLYNN / IAN FLYNN / BILLY GRANT / JOE GRILLO
This is a show amongst friends, some who are actual brothers, all of whom are actually weird. The artists in this show are brothers in art, connected by psychedelic images, Saturday morning cartoons, graffiti, breakfast cereal, florescent drips, and the spirit of coloring outside the lines. Brothers of the Weird will be the first time these artists have exhibited together showing paintings, drawings, and sculpture. This will also mark the inaugural exhibition at COOPER COLE.

Join Cinema Project on Wednesday November 16th at the Hollywood Theatre for an evening of work by pioneering computer artist Lillian F. Schwartz. Lillian was a consultant and “resident” at Bell Laboratories in the 1970s where she pioneered computer-generated art and computer-aided art analysis. While there, Schwartz worked with such composers as F. Richard Moore, Jean-Claude Risset, and Gershon Kinglsey, all pioneers in computer and electronic music. This is a ONE NIGHT ONLY event and as a first in the history of Cinema Project, we’ll have a special 3-D surprise. Not to be missed.

BAKOS. Rita Ackermann
November 18, 2011. – February 12, 2012.
The Ludwig Museum presents Rita Ackermann`s solo show as part of its series featuring Hungarian artists and artists of Hungarian origin whose works are less known in their native country.

Ackermann left Budapest nearly twenty years ago to move to New York City, where she has lived and worked ever since. Following two years of training in painting at the Hungarian University of Fine Arts, she decided to leave for the United States, as she sought a more intense encounter with the various forms and cross-references of the visual arts, pointing beyond the narrow and constricted genre definition prevailing in Hungary at the time. Continuing her studies at The New York Studio School, Ackermann soon became a well-known figure of the underground art scene of New York City in the 1990s – which was marked by the activities of Sonic Youth, Chloë Sevigny, the Bernadette Corporation, Richard Kern and Harmony Korine, with their peculiar mixture of fashion, music and the most diverse forms of visual art, blending their languages, means and modes of expression. Her early works, primarily drawings and collages, are calligraphic and poetic pieces evocative of improvisations, which focus on questions pertaining to her own environment, as well as tackling the personal and collective problems of the so-called youth culture, including issues of sexuality and drugs. Questioning positions of power, and touching upon feelings of uncertainty, they carry on a contemplative pursuit of fate. In recent years, she has engaged in examining the internal questions of art and art history, including the opposing traditions of American and European painting.

Daido Moriyama:
PRINTING SHOW—TKY
Friday, November 4th and Saturday November 5th, 2011

Aperture Gallery & Bookstore
547 West 27th Street, 4th floor
New York, New York
(212) 505-5555

PRINTING SHOW is a recreation of Daido Moriyama’s 1974 performance of the same name. Following the format of the original performance as closely as possible, in lieu of prints mounted on the gallery walls, visitors to the gallery will find the photographer stationed at a photocopy machine duplicating his photographic prints. As was done forty years ago, these photocopied sheets will be assembled and staple-bound with a silk-screened cover printed in the gallery space during the performance.

Thomas Solomon Gallery presents Announce, an exhibition of selected art event announcements from the period in California 1948-1982. A selection of announcements from the period in California 1948-1982 collected by: John Baldessari, Dagny Corcoran, Rosamund Felsen, Morgan Fisher, Stanley and Elyse Grinstein, Lee Kaplan, Helen Lewis, Tom Marioni, Dave Muller, Allen Ruppersberg, Ed Ruscha, Alexis Smith, Judy and Stuart Spence

Dates: October 29–December 15, 2011
Opening Reception: Saturday, October 29, 6–8 p.m.
427 Bernard Street, Los Angeles, CA 90012

The articles in Announce will highlight a number of choices from each collection amassed by thirteen individual art collectors, artists, curators and booksellers. The materials they have accumulated and selected not only emphasize the passions of each collector, but also serve to illustrate how past art events were promoted through the use of announcement cards sent by mail, posters displayed in public places, or fliers handed out on the streets of cities in California. The attention that was given to publicizing these events within the art community is of particular interest considering the time period—an era when mass-produced art publications, notices and proclamations were developed and delivered in a pre-digital environment. More than just an exhibition of ephemera, Announce reflects on the viewpoints, energy and devotion of both the artist and collector.

Announce demonstrates how artists elected to represent themselves and their art in a public setting by utilizing the various printing technologies of their time. Furthermore, a countless range of design concepts were employed to put forth messages declaring that something special was about to happen. The graphics and typefaces they chose were of particular importance because they reflected the way an artist announced an exhibit, performance or film event. And just as we use the Internet today to make statements proclaiming our positions or to broadcast some revelation we have had, artists of this period used offset lithography, letterpress and silk-screening to make the announcements that delivered their messages.

As new printing technologies became available, conditions and processes changed for artists. While methodologies may have progressed into a more digitally oriented generation of public communication and publishing, the old ways, luckily, have become more and more prized—collectable—than they had been in their heyday. From the artist’s aesthetic sensibilities to the collector’s treasure, these real ink-on-paper art event announcements now provide insight into what people collected, what was desirable, and what still has meaning. From their pool of material, each collector has selected several pieces to illustrate how public events were presented from 1948 to 1982 in California.

In 1977, in the wilds of Essex, Dave King created a logo for his friend Penny’s impassioned manifesto: “Christ’s Reality Asylum.” Later that same year, he moved to the US. He now lives in San Francisco, where he works as a graphic artist and photographer. In the intervening 34 years, what became the Crass symbol has been emblazoned on records, flags, clothing and human bodies. This exhibit will be the first time the artist has shown original sketches for the logo, alongside alternate versions and contemporary “remixes.” Editions will be available for some of these designs.

TWO EVENTS:

First, the opening on Saturday, November 5th, from 6-9pm.

Second, on Sunday, November 6th, from 12-5pm, we will be holding a PUBLIC STENCIL EVENT. We will be offering FREE on-site logo spray painting. Bring your jacket, your shirt, your skateboard or your best flat surface and we will make you a piece of art.

Taylor Mead Aphorisms features highlights taken from his underground classic “On Amphetamine and in Europe.” The seminal 1968 text collected his singular stream of consciousness short form poetry. He’s best known for starring in Warhol films (Imitation of Christ, Lonesome Cowboys, The Nude Restaurant) but more recently was seen in Jim Jarmusch’s Coffee & Cigarettes. Institutional support has ranged from his inclusion in The Whitney Museum’s “Day for Night” biennial to the Harvard Film Archive celebrating him this month as “the furiously beating heart of the American avant-garde.”
