Missed Allison Schulnik‘s solo exhibition in LA? Good news for you: there’s another chance to see new work from her in Chicago!
Opening last night (04/16), “Home for Hobo Too” will be on view through May 15th at Tony Wight Gallery. For more information on the exhibition, please visit the gallery’s website.
In other recent museum news, Mario Ybarra Jr.‘s “Take Me Out: No Man is an Island” (2008) – which was featured in Mark Moore Gallery’s 2009 group exhibition, “Ultrasonic IV: Fresh Perspectives” – has been acquired for the LA County Museum of Art’s permanent collection.
The museum will acquire the installation piece originally shown at the Art Institute of Chicago in 2008 – making LACMA the first public institution to include Ybarra Jr. in their collection.
The Laguna Art Museum (Laguna Beach, CA) has recently announced their acquisition of Jeremy Fish‘s “Everything is Going to be Ok?” (2009) for their permanent collection.
Following the artist’s first solo museum exhibition, “Weathering the Storm,” the museum selected one of the largest paintings that served as the installation focal point of the show. MMG congratulates both the museum and Jeremy on this addition to LAM’s collection.
MMG’s Cindy Wright will be featured in “For Your Eyes Only,” a group exhibition at De Markten (Brussels) featuring Mary Heilmann, Marilyn Minter and Kati Heck among others. Curated the Hans Theys, the exhibition will be on view April 23 – May 25, 2010 – with a vernissage taking place on April 22, 7:30-10pm.
For more information, please visit DeMarkten’s website.
The luscious paintings of Julie Heffernan are once again making their way over to PPOW (NY) for her sixth solo exhibition at the gallery.
Opening on April 29 (from 6-8pm), “Boy, Oh Boy” features new paintings by the artist that – for the first time – utilize a male primary figure. Art in America recently caught up with Julie in her studio to preview the works, which will be on view at PPOW through June 5, 2010.
Opening April 15 and on view through June 15, 2010, Vernon Fisher will have a solo exhibition of work at Seomi & Tuus Gallery (Seoul, Korea). Focusing primarily on the artist’s blackboard, globe and map-based works, the show will feature over a dozen works, and several studio-fresh blackboard paintings.
The show will act as an international preview to the artist’s upcoming retrospective exhibit at the Modern Art Museum, Fort Worth (TX) this fall, entitled “K-Mart Conceptualism.” On view September 25, 2010 – January 2, 2011, the exhibition will survey Fisher’s work to date by utilizing pieces from prominent collections around the world. Says the museum:
“The exhibition will showcase the early collages that combine abstract painting, text, and image; and a selection of many of the artist’s best-known blackboard paintings, in which a faux blackboard surface is used as the ground for realistic, painted vignettes adjacent to fragments of different stories that suggest variously ambiguous meanings. A number of large, room-sized installations will also be included.”

MMG is thrilled to announce their new in-house publication series, Mark Moore Gallery: Statements. Each booklet acts as a mini-retrospective catalogue for a featured artist, and is usually produced in tandem with a current solo exhibition at the gallery. Including an essay, artist interview, bio, selected press quotes, and examples of works both old, new and in public collections, Mark Moore Gallery: Statements will thoroughly introduce the featured artist to our readers.
Mark Moore Gallery: Statement 1 is available now for $20 (plus shipping).
Featuring the gallery’s current solo exhibition artist, Kim Dorland, Statement 1 can be purchased by emailing publications@markmooregallery.com.
Kim Dorland and his family flew in from their Toronto home turf to attend the opening reception for “1991” – where they were met with a gallery that smelled like his studio and impressed declarations from passerby.
With DJ MoreDillon spinning beats and Will Tee Yang capturing candids, the exhibition opened to positive acclaim and a hearty turn-out. Kim extends his thanks for the support, and MMG encourages you to come by the gallery before this show closes on April 17th, 2010.
Onto the pics…
SXSW is predominantly known for its mega-music-industry swank, indie showcases, sponsor parties and international attendees that appear to have sprung from the very pages of an Urban Outfitters catalogue. Leave it to Allison Schulnik to find the bridge between this and her acclaimed contemporary art.
Featured in SXSW’s video showcase, Schulnik’s “Forest” – which also doubled as the music video for Grizzly Bear’s “Ready, Able,” nabbed the runner-up position behind “Luv Deluxe” by Cinnamon Chasers, directed by Saman Keshavarz.
