Mark Moore Gallery is thrilled to announce The Contemporary Museum’s (HA) acquisition of Cindy Wright’s “Untitled” (2008).
The museum’s head curator, Jay Jensen, stated, “The painting has great staying power, a work one could go back to again and again and find something more in it.”
Congratulations to both the artist and the museum for such a fabulous addition to TCM’s permanent collection.
Here’s a first: MMG’s Ben Weiner is partaking in Museo Magazine’s online exhibition of artist screenshots.
Organized by Timothy Hull and Museo Editor, Dave Shapiro, the exhibition presents a glimpse into the working worlds of practicing comtemporary artists; better close that IM chat window!
Check out “Open Apple Shift 3: An Exhibition of Screenshots…” by visiting Museo Magazine’s website.
Artist duo Asgar/Gabriel will be presenting new work in Vienna, Austria in Brot Kunsthalle’s group exhibition, “The Promise of Loss: A Contemporary Index of Iran.” Opening October 9, from 5-10pm, “Promise of Loss” will also feature work by Sara Rahbar, Babak Golkar, Samira Abbassy and others.
Asgar/Gabriel will be featured in the “Re-imaging the Revolution” section of the exhibition, which was curated by Shaheen Merali.
If you find yourself in the Vienna area, make it a priority to swing by the opening on the 9th!
Sasha Lee of Beautiful/Decay was all about the behind-the-scenes details of Kiel’s upcoming show, opening October 17th.

Celebrating the launch of their new website, Sartorial Contemporary (London, UK) announces FIFTHYEARS – FIVE YEARS CELEBRATION, an exhibition featuring their most prominent artists from the past five years. Included in the exhibition is MMG’s Gavin Nolan, who will be showing alongside Gordon Cheung, Sweet Toof, Hugh Mendes and others.
For more information, visit Sartorial’s website. Better yet, if you’re in the London area, drop by the gallery October 2 – 23rd, 2009 to see some real, live Nolan works.
Ken Johnson of the New York Times reviewed Tim Bavington‘s solo exhibition of new work at Jack Shainman Gallery earlier this week, praising Bavington’s “aesthetics of seduction and sensory intoxication.”
Read the full-length review on page two by visiting the Art in Review section, and if you’re in the NYC area, visit the dynamic works in person at Shainman’s gallery at 513 West 20th Street.
Todd Hebert ventures into Texas with a solo exhibition of new work at Devin Borden Hiram Butler Gallery – opening on October 3, 2009, 11a – 1p – and is on view through November 5, 2009.
For more information on the show’s details and the gallery, visit DBHB Gallery’s website.
Hi-Fructose Magazine chatted with Kiel Johnson about his upcoming solo exhibition at Mark Moore Gallery, and documented his “swan song for dying technology”on the publication’s blog.
They not only preview Johnson’s exhibition (opening October 17th, 2009), but also discuss his concept and statement for the show – which is refreshingly autobiographical. Check out the full length feature here.
Daily Serving’s Catherine Wagley wrote an extensive and lovely review of Ultrasonic IV for Daily Serving – which you can read here. Wagley considers the “remix approach” and how the exhibition discusses “rephrasing visual legacies in a way that suggests nostalgia can be prescient.”
Which reminds us, Ultrasonic is only on view through October 10 – so make your way over to the Westside if you haven’t already!

MMG previously reported that Ryan Taber and his fellow LMCC project participants were the subject of many a writer’s pontifications, but it would seem they are also the target of many a vandal’s tags.
ArtInfo and Flavorpill are the first to report on the details from the LentSpace site. Luckily, Taber has kept his trademark cool during the incident, saying “I’m not worried at all about the sentiment.”
Let’s try to keep our criticisms to the blogosphere, shall we?
