More My National Gallery, London More News Edinburgh Art Festival reveals full programme for summer 2024 EDINBURGH.- Edinburgh Art Festival today reveal the full programme for summer 2024, their 20th Birthday year, from 9–25 August. For the 2024 programme, EAF will invite audiences to join them in a moment to collectively pause and reflect upon the conditions under which we live, work, gather and resist. EAF will use the opportunity of their 20th Birthday to connect with historic and contemporary ways of organising that have built infrastructures of care and pioneering activist movements over the past 20 years (and beyond). The programme, the biggest yet for EAF, spans the work of more than 200 artists, and takes place all across the city, asking viewers to look again at Edinburgh through the eyes of the exhibiting artists. “This year, EAF celebrates persistence. Our programme traces lines through personal histories, the natural world, ... More 'Bluets' Review: This Maggie Nelson adaptation is all about the vibes LONDON.- When the Royal Court Theater in London announced it was staging an adaptation of Maggie Nelson’s prose poem memoir “Bluets,” my first reaction was head-scratching surprise. This largely plotless book, in which elliptical fragments of autobiography are entwined with meditations on the cultural history of the color blue and loosely coalesce around the theme of depression, doesn’t exactly scream theater. In Margaret Perry’s adaptation, directed by Katie Mitchell and running through June 29, a trio of actors — Ben Whishaw, Emma D’Arcy and Kayla Meikle — recite passages from “Bluets” and act out moody scenes of everyday life; these are combined with innovative use of video technology and melancholic music to generate a multisensory representation of the narrator’s consciousness. It’s an admirably ... More 'Romeo and Juliet' review: Plenty of style, but little love LONDON.- As the male lead entered the stage in a new production of “Romeo and Juliet” in London, a single, very loud whoop erupted from the orchestra level. Nobody else joined in — this is Britain, after all — but the breach of decorum was telling. This particular Romeo is big-screen superstar Tom Holland, of “Spider-Man” fame, and his pulling power helped tickets for this show’s run sell out within hours — even though the actor playing Juliet wasn’t cast until many weeks later. Yet this “Romeo and Juliet,” directed by Jamie Lloyd (“Sunset Boulevard,” “The Effect”) and running at the Duke of York’s Theater through Aug. 3, is no straightforward crowd-pleaser. The visuals are stripped-down and the staging unconventional; instead of indulging the giddy melodrama of young love, the emphasis is on brooding atmospherics. ... More Jiro Takamatsu joins Pace Gallery NEW YORK, NY.- Pace announced its representation of the estate of Jiro Takamatsu, a profoundly influential artist, theorist, and teacher in postwar Japan. Over the course of four decades, Takamatsu worked across painting, sculpture, drawing, photography, and performance, exploring philosophical and conceptual questions about perception, space, objecthood, and the nature of reality. Early in his career, he staged performative interventions in public spaces around Tokyo as part of the artist collective Hi Red Center, liberating art from its traditional context. With his radical and collaborative practice, Takamatsu made immeasurable contributions to the international avant-garde of the 1960s and 1970s, and played a key role in the advent of Conceptual Art. Pace will represent Takamatsu internationally in collaboration with Yumiko Chiba Associates ... More Lisson Gallery now representing Oliver Lee Jackson LONDON.- Lisson Gallery announced representation of Oliver Lee Jackson, the painter, sculptor and printmaker whose creations open up spaces for contemplation and interpretation, as well as encounters with seen and unseen worlds. Jackson has long engaged in freeing form and matter from the strictures and false oppositions between figuration and abstraction, preferring hybridity, ambiguity and improvisation with his materials over fixed meanings and didacticism. The artist will present for the first time with Lisson Gallery at Art Basel, Basel (13-16 June 2024), before his solo exhibition with the gallery in London, opening in November 2024. Lisson Gallery will represent Jackson in collaboration with Andrew Kreps Gallery, New York, and BLUM, Los Angeles. Oliver Lee Jackson is a painter, sculptor and printmaker ... More Angel Otero's opens first Los Angeles exhibition with Hauser & Wirth LOS ANGELES, CA.- Magical realism and abstraction converge in the work of artist Angel Otero, whose first Los Angeles exhibition with Hauser & Wirth will be on view at the gallery’s West Hollywood location beginning 29 May. Otero’s personal recollections of his upbringing in Puerto Rico are woven throughout a group of new paintings and sculptures in which technical innovation becomes the means for conveying memory through materiality. In surreal and fragmentary scenes, Otero mines his own history to make sense of the current moment, animating everyday objects and environments that are loosely based on the domestic spaces of his youth. The exhibition’s title draws from a popular saying in Spanish, ‘La Primera Lluvia de Mayo,’ that stirred Otero’s imagination in childhood. Local lore held that the first rain in May ... More Vintage Auctions + Appraisals announces highlights included in Vintage Watches, Part 2 sale SAN FRANCISCO, CA.- Turner Auctions + Appraisals will present Vintage Watches, Part 2: One Man’s Collection on Saturday, June 8, 2024.

More CLAMP to open "Mark Morrisroe: Pre-Nympho Pia and Other Friends" NEW YORK, NY.- CLAMP will open the gallery’s fifth solo exhibition of photographs by artist Mark Morrisroe (1959-1989). Pre-Nympho Pia is the name of the lead character played by Pia Howard in the Super-8 film titled “Nymph-O-Maniac” (1984). Mark Morrisroe’s longest and most ambitious film, “Nymph-O-Maniac” typifies the artist’s trash aesthetic likely influenced by filmmakers such as Andy Warhol, Jack Smith, and John Waters. Stuart Comer, Chief Curator of Media and Performance at The Museum of Modern Art, New York, writes: “The script seems almost entirely comprised of phrases culled from phone sex lines and porn dialogue, but the gender tables are turned [from the artist’s previous films] and women play most of the roles. In rooms whose walls are covered in gay male porn magazine clippings and record covers, vamped ... More Exhibition at Peter Blum Gallery brings together a group of seven contemporary artists NEW YORK, NY.- The Shape of Color brings together a group of seven contemporary artists working within the mode of abstraction that highlight the role of color and light in nonrepresentational painting today. Each artist possesses a unique lexicon that invites experiential responses through their use of material, surface, support, and scale that give way to plays in chromatic perception. Distinctions in density, vibrancy, saturation, and matteness, alongside interactions between tones are visualized in rhythmic gestural movements or tight architectures of space, giving form and structure to color. Marina Adams (b. 1960, Orange, NJ) has developed a dynamic and abstract painterly practice of clear and powerful formal language that centers around exploring the possibilities of shape and movement. She displays the structural power ... More Exhibition of seventeen new paintings by Amy Bennett on view at Miles McEnery Gallery NEW YORK, NY.- Miles McEnery Gallery is presenting Shelter, an exhibition of seventeen new paintings by Amy Bennett. The exhibition remains on view through 3 July 2024 at 525 West 22nd Street. Accompanying the exhibition is a fully illustrated publication featuring essays by Robert Long Foreman and Elizabeth Buhe. Small in scale but dense in narrative, the paintings in Shelter function akin to a short story. Each oil on panel encapsulates a snapshot still of a moment, prompting the viewer to draw upon one’s own lived experience to flesh out the lead up and its aftermath. Teetering between subjective realities and familiar memories, Bennett mitigates serene compositions with the unsettling: a sunbather lounges under the moon, a sleepwalker drifts through the home, a family gathers for breakfast in a flooded ... More Legendary Trunks : A European Private Collection PARIS.- Christie's France announced the largest private collection of Louis Vuitton trunks ever offered at auction. This exceptional sale will be presented from June 19 to July 3 during an inaugural online auction entitled Legendary Trunks : A European Private Collection.
