Last night, Mike Weiss Gallery (NY) opened their summer group exhibition, “Reflexive Self” with two incredible new paintings by Kim Dorland. On view through August 14, the show features work by Dead Dads Club Corporation, Kris Knight, Stefanie Gutheil, and Marc Seguin.
For more information, visit the gallery’s website. Better yet, swing by and see the show if you’re in New York!
With impeccable timing, the New York Foundation for the Arts recently announced their 2010 Painting Fellowship Award Recipients – and among them was MMG’s currently exhibiting artist, Ben Weiner. Of the 6,200 applicants, Weiner was chosen alongside 117 other talented painters; excellent news in tandem with recent acquisitions of his work by the Frederick R. Weisman Foundation (CA) and Sammlung Mondstudio (Germany).
Be sure to catch Weiner’s current solo exhibition, “Material and Illusion,” before it closes July 3rd!
Executive Editor Evan Orensten and the incredible team over at Cool Hunting took some time to visit with Kim Rugg in her studio earlier this month as they produce a video featuring the London-based artist. With an expected release date in the next few weeks, the video will document Rugg’s process and new projects – a real treat for those familiar with her intensely intricate work.
Stephen Westfall of BOMB Magazine recently featured Cordy Ryman in the publication’s summer issue, speaking highly of Ryman’s adept use of materiality and spontaneity. Says Westfall:
“His paint can be sticky as tar or fluid as a thin milkshake. A tough, tiny urchin of a painting might be fastened to the wall with nuts and bolts as though it possesses the will and strength to pull itself free and escape out the door.”
Ryman will have his second solo exhibition with DCKT Contemporary this fall, opening September 8, 2010 – a show surely not to be missed.
Mark Moore Gallery also recommends checking out DCKT’s current summer exhibition, Brion Nuda Rosch, an artist that you may see in a certain Los Angeles gallery sometime this fall….just sayin’….

With two upcoming shows in New York, one in Santa Fe and one in Tuscon, Dimitri Kozyrev is trying to be an equal opportunist for those wanting to see his work.

Kozyrev will simultaneously have work in “Made in Tuscon/Born in Tuscon/Live in Tuscon Part II” at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Tuscon, AZ – on view July 3 through September 25 – as well as the inaugural group exhibition at David Richard Contemporary‘s new space in Santa Fe, NM, which opens July 19th.

Allison Schulnik‘s most recent video, “Forest,” (2009) is getting super-sized. As we like to say, “go big or go home….for hobo,” and Schulnik’s infamous nomadic vagabond is making his New York debut in a big way: on the MTV screen in Times Square. Curated and produced by Creative Time, “Forest” will screen in rotation with works by Rob Carter and Graeme Patterson June 15 – July 15th. Should you find yourself between 44th and 45th Avenue on Broadway – in front of the MTV Building – it’s likely you’ll catch her clay-animated magic on the streets of NYC.
Additionally, “Forest” will be featured in the upcoming 2010 Los Angeles Film Festival! Featured in the “Ecelectic Mix 2” screening for music videos, Schulnik’s piece can be seen on the evenings of June 18th (8pm) and 20th (7pm) at the Grammy Museum’s Clive Davis Sound Stage. Tickets are on sale June 1 at www.lafilmfest.com – we recommend buying them ASAP!
Looks like this summer is going to be a busy one for Ms. Schulnik….as her works will also be featured in two upcoming group exhibitions in New York! First up, Schulnik will be featured in CANADA‘s “Homunculi,” on view June 4 – July 11, alongside artists Matt Greene, Ruby Neri and Matthew Ronay. Opening on June 24, “Touched” at Lehmann Maupin will also feature new paintings by Schulnik in addition to works by Maria Nepomuceno and Klara Kristalova. The exhibition will be on view through August 13, 2010.
So really, if you’re on either coastline Allison’s got you covered…
