Featured Events in New York in September 2024 (June Updated)

“I think of myself, standing in a world that is never standing still,” the artistRobert Frankonce wrote. “I’m still in there fighting, alive because I believe in what I’m trying to do now.”Life Dances On: Robert Frank in Dialogue—the artist’s first solo exhibition at MoMA—provides a new perspective on his expansive body of work by exploring the six vibrant decades of Frank’s career following the 1958 publication of his landmarkphotobook,The Americans. Coinciding with the centennial of Frank’s birth, the exhibition will explore his restless experimentation across mediums including photography, film, and books, as well as his dialogues with other artists and his communities. It will include some 200 works made over 60 years until the artist’s death in 2019, many drawn from MoMA’s extensive collection, as well as materials that have never before been exhibited. The exhibition borrows its title from Frank’s poignant 1980 film, in which the artist reflects on the individuals who have shaped his outlook. Like much of his work, the film is set in New York City and Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, where he and his wife, the artist June Leaf, moved in 1970. In the film, Leaf looks at the camera and asks Frank, “Why do you make these pictures?” In an introduction to the film’s screening, he answered: “Because I am alive.” Organized by Lucy Gallun, Curator, with Kaitlin Booher, Beaumont and Nancy Newhall Curatorial Fellow, and Casey Li, 12 Month Intern, Department of Photography

This focused exhibition presents a selection of superlative drawings from the courts and centers of India and Pakistan (with a few related Persian works) dating from the late sixteenth to the twentieth century. These works are mainly selected from The Met collection in partnership with film director James Ivory, whose recent gift to the Museum of nineteenth-century photograph albums will also be featured in the exhibition (2021.381.1-16). The drawings will include fresh and informal preparatory exercises for paintings as well as beautifully finished works in their own right. The photographs will present the subject matter and styles that came about in the contexts of royal patronage and ceremony; views of architecture, cities, landscapes, and people, among others. As an artist and filmmaker, James Ivory will help us appreciate this material through his unique gaze. A short film — An Arrested Moment — directed by Dev Benegal, will accompany the show.

Eighteenth- and nineteenth-century landscape artists often sketched outdoors in oil paint on paper to capture nature from direct observation. Yet as natural as these scenes look, the vantages were chosen or augmented to draw the viewer into the composition. Whether through adding a prescribed path, capturing flecks of light glinting off a winding river, or presenting a series of plateaus receding into the distance, artists created a point of entry and route along which the viewer could journey. These small-scale oil sketches—including a work by one of the few female European landscape painters of her era, Louise-Joséphine Sarazin de Belmont—illustrate how artists synthesized the real and ideal to evoke the experience of encountering nature.

United by their assertive, sometimes insistent, political messages, the fifty-two works by thirty-three artists included in this exhibition offer a select and lively perspective on American elections, politicians and social power dynamics. Spanning more than five decades, the works not only refer to political subjects and social issues specific to their time, but also resonate with ideological and humanistic themes amazingly relevant today. This exhibition invites the viewer to compare and contrast many visual strategies that explore issues of racism, demagoguery, oppression, war, climate change, among others. Some artists employ tools such as satire, propaganda, and the portrayal of newsworthy events or utopian ideals. Others utilize more iconic subjects—such as U.S. presidents, Uncle Sam, the Oval Office, and Old Glory—to celebrate, examine, and critique American governance and policy.

School of Visual Arts (SVA) presents the MFA Photography, Video and Related Media Thesis Screening 2024, a film screening of works by four graduates of the class of 2024: Anastasia Caulfield, Guanyu Liu, Jiani Wang, and Royee Weng. The screening will take place on Tuesday, September 3rd at the SVA Theatre, 333 West 23rd Street, New York City. Doors will open to the public at 5:30pm, with the screening beginning at 6:30pm. The lens and screen arts are arguably the most ubiquitous form of creative expression today, and these four films explore the range of possibilities that today’s young video artists can make. Our department explores all elements of the moving image, from the real-world documentary to the experimental. Grahame Weinbren, celebrated video innovator and senior video faculty member says this, “Each of these moving image projects is the culmination of a full year of focused conceptual, technical, often lonely, but ultimately rewarding effort. Though at first the four films may appear divergent in subject, genre and style, there is a common thread. Each represents an honest, personal quest of great significance to the filmmaker, which at the same time is current and urgent to the culture at large. I am proud to have worked with the four artists as they each mapped their own path through the development of these four unique works of cinema.” Root Note (23 min) by Anastasia Caulfield is a freeform documentary that engages with an independent and performative group of people who congregate primarily in the nightlife of Union Square, New York. The camera is the vehicle that helps capture the art form of freestyle music. Root Note is a personal and artistic endeavor reflecting on the ongoing pursuit to find community for the artist herself while navigating the spontaneous interactions of the eclectic atmosphere. SUMMER NANA (39:29 min) by Guanyu Liu is a documentary of his elderly grandmother on a journey together full of warmth and memories. The film deeply shows the roots of family and the deep affection that evokes the audience's attachment to the nature of family and homeland. It is the story of the recent evolution of China. Touch the Touch, From Far Away (32:05 min) by Jiani Wang is a hybrid film blending documentary and fiction, exploring the authenticity of both human-to-human and human-to-machine communication and connections. Jiani navigates the modern terrain of modern communication from chatbots to AI and everything in-between. to pierce the wound, softly (30:02 min) by Royee Weng is a piece about the joy of her healing, the embodied self and generational trauma. It is a practice in connecting and community building as well as ritual healing. Information Source: SVA MFA Photography, Video and Related Media | eventbrite

Kline is known for charged, visceral installations that evoke contemporary retail environments, the starchitecture of global financial centers like New York and London, a disintegrating Western middle-class, ruinous floods, and surveillance zones. Mobilizing iconic elements of design, style and architecture that are both site and time-specific, his installations are immersive period pieces set in the present or all too possible futures. Kline’s earliest installations were made against the backdrop of and in response to the financial crisis and great recession, that also saw the first flowering of the smartphone-enabled social media platforms which would transform our lives. Now in this exhibition, Kline returns to the subject of his earliest installations: creative labor. In that body of work, produced between 2009-2014, the focus was on the challenges faced by creative workers – DJs, graphic designers, publicists and art directors – as they navigated promoting themselves as a persona online. Works such asCreative Hands(2011) reproduced the hands of these workers as silicone casts, each clutching a tool that reflects the merging of their personal and professional identities, from an iPhone to a bottle of Advil or a computer mouse. In this new body of work, Kline abandons surrogates and uses his own image, focusing on the place of the artist in an art world increasingly described by its participants as “the art industry.” The sculptures that will debut at Lisson Gallery update core interests from that earlier body of work: the commodification, promotion, and disposal of the self in a society shaped by social media.

Join us on September 5 as we celebrate the opening of our new show highlighting the work of Swiss photographer Peter Knapp, co-curated by Japanese Art Director Joji Mita. About the show: Peter Knapp was born on June 5th, 1931, in Bäretswil, Switzerland. He studied at the Kunstgewerbeschule in Zurich, where he was influenced by the thinking and aesthetics of the Bauhaus movement. He learned about the beauty of function and modernity, which he came to expertly demonstrate in his typography, logo work, catalogue and poster design, and scenography. This led him to work, in the 1950s, as art director for the magazine Nouveau Fémina and the Groupe Galeries Lafayette. He subsequently won a competition to design the pavilions for the Brussels World’s Fair in 1956 alongside the Russian designer Slavik. In 1959, the legendary magazine creator Hélène Lazareff recruited Knapp to art direct ELLE, which was then an insurgent, iconoclastic publication on the fashion-magazine scene. Knapp served there until 1966 and then again from 1974 until 1977. During the same years, Knapp also became a photographer in his own right, grafting the Bauhaus tenet of applied art onto the practice of fashion photography in his elegant, expertly composed, and subtly challenging photographs. Fashion photography, when considered an applied art, has interesting links to older forms of expression such as genre painting in Western Europe by artists like Pieter Bruegel and Johannes Vermeer, and Japanese ukiyo-e woodblock prints or paintings. In Japan, these things are considered fuzoku, which refers to customs and manners of daily life (including food, clothing, and housing) that are characteristic of a certain period, society, region, or class. And just as ukiyo-e in Japan and genre paintings in Western Europe are now considered critically important art movements, we should also consider applied fashion photography as a new form of art, and Peter Knapp as one of its foundational practitioners. About NowHere NowHere is a multipurpose hub and studio for New York City-based Japanese creators from across all disciplines. We exist to help emerging talent explore their maximum potential by providing them with the means to create and showcase their practice and expand their network. Like the artists we serve, we emigrated to New York, drawn to the city's endlessly inspiring energy. We hope to give back to the city by facilitating new art from a Japanese perspective, adding to New York's constantly evolving cultural landscape, and offering inspiration back to New York in turn. In our commitment to supporting art and creativity, we want to ensure that NowHere's impact extends far beyond the confines of a traditional gallery and across cultures. We want people to leave our spaces with inspiration, new friendships, new knowledge, and a feeling of connection to the NowHere community. Information Source: NowHere | eventbrite

Perrotin is pleased to present the gallery’s second exhibition with London-based painter Oli Epp, titled Fire the Menu. Presenting a new suite of surrealist paintings, he depicts opulence as performance and captures the unsaid paradoxes the inhabit our lavish desires.

Timothy Taylor is pleased to present Out of Chaos, a new series of paintings by Daniel Cruise-Chab. This is the artist’s third collaboration with the gallery, presenting large and medium-sized paintings as well as works on paper. Characterized by rapid mark-making and vivid atmosphere, the works in the exhibition explore how compositions emerge from chaos, with the human figure as the main subject. The title of the exhibition, Out of Chaos – which also bears the title of the series of paintings on display – is taken from the concept in ancient Greek mythology that chaos is an undifferentiated state of matter from which the universe was born. Cruise-Chab’s paintings are driven by the idea that infinity is a cycle between chaos and order, and that energy is not destroyed but transformed.

Gagosian is pleased to announce Out of Country, an exhibition of new and recent paintings by Mark Grotjahn at the gallery’s 980 Madison Avenue location in New York. Opening on September 10, Out of Country represents the culmination of the Backcountry series that has occupied the artist since 2021, and features never before exhibited paintings on white grounds, alongside a single black-ground painting. A press preview and tour with the artist will take place at 10:30am on Monday, September 9. In his paintings, sculptures, and works on paper, Grotjahn investigates color, perspective, seriality, and the sublime. The concluding entries in the Backcountry series featured in this exhibition see him again draw inspiration from the experience of rural American landscapes, specifically those from his ski and fly-fishing tours in the remote backcountry of western Colorado. While the works contain an element of pictorial representation, hinting at a snowy mountain descent or starlit nocturnal pass, their primary commitment is still to abstraction, specifically the nuanced layering of line, tone, and texture. Continuing to produce variations on an identifiable style and format, Grotjahn builds on a dynamic rhythm that transcends simple visual record to achieve a unique formal and emotional complexity.

The exhibition features new large-scale sculptures made from sand-based material, constructed using the artist’s signature technique. Pinhassi creates sensuous sculptures and large-scale installations that explore the politics of architectural spaces as they relate to the human body. His anthropomorphic sculptures, often standing up to eight feet in height, examine individual vulnerability within the built environment, probing new possibilities for coexistence. Pinhassi’s haptic and immersive spaces redefine the relationship between viewer and environment, provoking a visceral interaction with the art object that yields a heightened awareness of humankind’s place within an ecosystem of co-creation, where we in turn are shaped by the objects and architecture around us. In Losing Face, Pinhassi harnesses the logic of the eponymous idiom and turns it on its head, making it a positive proposition: what happens when we strip away our ego and individuality? The works on view gesture towards a willingness to relinquish one’s familiar perception of the world—to “lose face” would be to lose access to the sensory organs—and in this way, Pinhassi allows for transformation and vulnerability in the construction of the works. Against the rapid-fire spread of information and the speed at which new events unfold in contemporary society, Pinhassi’s new work asks the viewer to slow down and consider the interdependence necessary to imagine possible collective futures.

David Zwirner is pleased to present a new light installation by American artist Doug Wheeler at the gallery’s 537 West 20th Street location in New York. Over the past six decades, Wheeler has become known for his innovative constructions and installations that engage with the experience of light, space, and sound. On view will be an immersive environment by the artist that further expands on his groundbreaking investigations of the possibilities of luminous space. This will be Wheeler’s fifth solo exhibition with the gallery and the first major presentation in the United States of his work since his 2020 exhibition at David Zwirner New York. The exhibition presents DN ND WD 180 EN - NY 24 (2024), which is among Wheeler’s most ambitious installations to date. Upon entering the gallery, the viewer first encounters two luminous, rectangular thresholds or “walls” of light, which function as points of entry into an expansive environment that simulates the experience of limitless space, or a “ganzfeld,” where light appears to shift from day to night and back again. The viewer’s perception is heightened to a degree in which, as the artist articulates, “space appears as a volume, almost as matter.”

The rich tradition of Mexican printmaking—ranging from the 18th to the mid-20th century—is explored in this exhibition of works drawn primarily from the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Among the early works on display are those by Mexico’s most famous printmaker, José Guadalupe Posada, whose depictions of skeletons engaged in different activities helped Mexican art establish a global identity. After the Mexican Revolution (1910-1920), printmaking proved to be an ideal medium for artists who wanted to address social and political issues and express resistance to the rise of fascism around the world. Artists also turned to printmaking to reproduce Mexican murals from the 1920s and to produce exhibition posters, prints for mass media, and portfolios celebrating Mexican costumes and customs.

For the 2024 Genesis Facade Commission, South Korean artist Lee Bul (born 1964, Yeongju, based in Seoul) has created four new sculptures that combine figurative and abstract elements. The Genesis Facade Commission: Lee Bul,Long Tail Halois the artist’s first major project in the United States in more than twenty years and the fifth in the series of contemporary commissions for The Met Fifth Avenue’s facade niches. With a career that spans four decades, Lee is widely recognized as the preeminent artist from South Korea. She is known for her sophisticated use of both highly industrial and labor-intensive materials, incorporating artisanal practices as well as technological advancements into her work. Her sculptures, often evoking bodily forms that are at once classical and futuristic, address the aspirations and disillusions that come with progress. The Genesis Facade Commission is part of The Met’s series of contemporary commissions in which the Museum invites artists to create new works of art, establishing a dialogue between the artist’s practice, The Met collection, the physical Museum, and The Met’s audiences.

The Enemy of All Mankind: Nine Scenes from John Gay’s Polly presents a new series of photographs by Stan Douglas.
