Opening Jan. 18 | Tina Barney: Landscapes | Paul Kasmin Gallery

Paul Kasmin Gallery is pleased to announce Landscapes, an exhibition of new and never-before-seen photographs by Tina Barney.

The exhibition will be on view from January 18 through March 3, 2018, at 297 Tenth Avenue. This is the artist’s first major New York solo exhibition in the past three years, and the first exhibition to feature a new body of work at Paul Kasmin Gallery. Barney first began her experimentation with landscape photography in the late 1980s using an 8 x 10-inch large format view camera, and would not revisit the subject matter again until the summer of 2017 when she returned to her familiar New England backdrop. With this group of works, Barney champions distant views of shingled homes, rocky coastal lines and small town thoroughfares, challenging herself to refine and build upon her compositional tactics.

Opening Feb. 6 | The Projective Drawing | Austrian Cultural Forum New York

The Austrian Cultural Forum New York (ACFNY) is pleased to announce the upcoming group exhibition “The Projective Drawing,” curated by Brett Littman, Executive Director of The Drawing Center, New York.

The exhibition is based on The Projective Cast, a book published in 1995 by architectural historian Robin Evans, whose goal was to define a new way to explain how we “see” architecture that incorporated the balancing of all sensations (mental, physical and emotional) that underpin the human experience of built structures. In “The Projective Drawing,” Evans’ theory, which is essentially at its core skeptical of drawing, is used to challenge and expand our approach to understanding the medium and how it operates in contemporary culture. Within the striking architecture of the ACFNY, designed in 1992 by Raimund Abraham, the show presents select work by both Austrian and international artists whose pursuits of drawing require us to activate a matrix of complex and untraditional ideas to understand and approach their work.
 
Featured artists include: 
Austria-based Artists: Lionel Favre, Simona Koch, Brigitte Mahlknecht, Judith Saupper and Leopold Strobl
 
International Artists: William Cordova, Sara Flores and the Shipibo Conibo Center, Seher Shah, James Siena and Katrín Sigurdardóttir

Paul Kasmin Gallery Now Represents The Estate of Jane Freilicher

Paul Kasmin Gallery is pleased to announce the representation of the Estate of Jane Freilicher.  An exhibition is planned in April 2018 at the gallery’s 293 Tenth Avenue space, and in anticipation of the exhibition, a solo presentation of her work will be exhibited at the ADAA: The Art Show in February. Eric Brown Art Group has been named advisor to the Freilicher Estate.  Freilicher’s influence continues to resonate: her steadfast observation and intuitive realism is detectable within the work of a number of painters working today.

Opening Jan. 18 | Judith Bernstein 'Money Shot' | Paul Kasmin Gallery

Paul Kasmin Gallery is pleased to announce the forthcoming exhibition of new paintings by Judith Bernstein, who has joined the gallery’s roster of artists. The exhibition, entitled Money Shot, will be on view from January 18 to March 3, 2018 at 293 Tenth Avenue and features seven new large-scale paintings that emphatically continue the artist’s incendiary political critique of the current Trump administration.

In the artist’s words, “I am showing Trump for what he is: a fool, a monster, a jester, a sexist, a racist. Donald Trump is a con artist, using the White House as his own personal cash machine.”

On October 3, 2017 from 7 - 10 PM at MAK Vienna, Rolf Sachs will be presenting performance Word & Sound in light of Vienna Design Week. 

Everything is design for the artist and designer Rolf Sachs: language, upbringing, how we move and what we eat—everyone is a designer. For the MAK Design Nite, a happening has been conceived that describes Sachs’s understanding of the world around him using keywords. With these keywords, he captures the effect of a chair and the sensation of surfaces, while personal topics such as tolerance and childhood also become an expression of his take on design.

Performative installation on view from 10 AM, September 7, 2017
at Garibaldi Plaza in Washington Square Park, NYC

"It’s my first political performance and I just felt I had to do it now. I wanted to show that any wall is dismantleable. We, the public, can tear down walls when society gets together. It could be a mental, physical, or political wall—the point is, it’s ephemeral."
