Gallery artist David Klamen is in About Painting at Simone DeSousa Gallery (Detroit, MI) opening January 16th.

The exhibition of works by Macyn Bolt, Barbara Kendrick, and David Klamen brings together three artists who have made significant bodies of work that can be called meta-painting, painting about painting. The works range in their purposes from meditative abstraction, to social criticism, to self-reflexive representation.

The gallery is pleased to announce a new feature story on artist David Maisel by art critic Marcia Bjornerud in this week’s The New Yorker. The article highlights the works from Maisel’s series “The Fall,” shown last year at Mark Moore Gallery, that will be on view in his upcoming solo show at Haines Gallery.

“David Maisel’s aerial photographs of Toledo, Spain, and the surrounding La Mancha region, some of which will be on view at Haines Gallery, in San Francisco, through March 12th, can make Earth’s surface look more alien than terrestrial. Parts of the area that Maisel focussed on are underlain by light-colored alkaline rocks, which formed through the evaporation of an ancient body of water. The silvery soil of plowed fields almost shimmers, like a ghostly memory of that long-vanished sea.”

Mark & Hilarie Moore have donated a major work by acclaimed California Minimalist painter Eric Orr to Albright-Knox Museum (Buffalo, NY) on behalf and in memory  of arts patron Henry Segerstrom, who passed away this year.

Founded officially in December 1862, The Buffalo Fine Arts Academy—the governing body of the Albright-Knox Art Gallery—is among the country’s oldest public arts institutions in the United States. Since its inception as The Buffalo Fine Arts Academy, the museum has been dedicated to acquiring, exhibiting, and preserving modern and contemporary art, with a particular emphasis on the collection, presentation, and interpretation of the artistic expressions of our times. The Albright-Knox Art Gallery’s 150-year tradition of collecting, conserving, and exhibiting the art of its time has given rise to one of the world’s most extraordinary art collections. Thomas Hoving, art historian and former director of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, said that “the Albright-Knox Art Gallery should be on everyone’s list to see, for it’s an overwhelming art experience. Small, intimate, and seductive, the museum has one of the most thumping modern and contemporary collections in the world.”

Gallery artist Allison Schulnik, along with 11 other artists,  was interviewed by i-D on which art shows first stimulated her creativity.

“It’s hard to remember the first exhibition that moved me, since there must have been many. I do have a clear memory of seeing a German Expressionist painting show at the San Diego Museum of Art sometime in high school (maybe 1995?). I remember, in particular, standing in front of Woman Knitting by Chaim Soutine and feeling a swell of something heavy. I’m not sure I could explain exactly what I felt or how it impacted me. I just knew it was a perfect painting. It solidified something inside of me.”

Schulnik’s solo show, Hoof opens tomorrow at Mark Moore Gallery.
