The gallery is very proud to announce a solo exhibition by Allison Schulnik at the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art (CT) as part of the institution’s MATRIX series. Following her solo exhibition at ZieherSmith (NY) – -which will be on view January 9 – February 22, 2014 — MATRIX 168 will feature a selection of Schulnik’s paintings, but will primarily center on the premiere of “Eager” (2013), a new stop-motion, clay animated video by the artist that has been in the making for nearly a year.

Schulnik trained under legendary animator Jules Engel, contributor to Disney classics Fantasia (1940) and Bambi (1942), and founding director of the Experimental Animation Program at California Institute of the Arts (Cal Arts). Her videos directly relate to the subject matter, color palette, and techniques seen in her paintings and sculptures. With this in mind, her work will perfectly compliment the purpose of the MATRIX series, which calls into question preconceptions about art and increases understanding of its possibilities.

We congratulate Allison on another incredible solo museum exhibition.

The Museum of Contemporary Art, San Diego, has announced the addition of works by Lester Monzon and Julie Oppermann to its permanent collection. We congratulate both artists on this impressive milestone, and thank the museum for its continuing support of the gallery program.

“I’m Ok” – a solo exhibition of new work by gallery artist duo, Clayton Brothers – will open at Antonio Colombo Arte Contemporanea in Milan on November 21, 2013.

Says the gallery, “‘I’m Ok’ includes about 30 new works of painting, drawing, and sculpture, specifically made for this show. All works focus on analysis of the relationship between the work and the observer, which is one of the central themes of their research, defined as a sort of ‘abstract narrative’ constructed by reworking characters, situations, and circumstances gleaned from everyday experiences.”

The exhibition will remain on view through February 1, 2014.

On Wednesday, November 13, from 6:30-8pm, gallery artist Julie Heffernan will speak at the National Academy Museum (NY) about her favorite paintings and the artists that made them. Alongside Carolee Schneeman, David Diao, and Alexi Worth, Heffernan will expound on both her craft and her influences. Tickets may be purchased through the museum.
