May 24 - Jun 17, 2013
Natural Selection engages the idea of the ‘natural’ from multiple angles: from a purely retinal and aesthetic perspective.

Natural Selection engages the idea of the ‘natural’ from multiple angles: from a purely retinal and aesthetic perspective, from social and cultural points of view and even from a somatic, experiential vantage.

Lee Arnold’s Winter Light seeks to represent natural light as pure abstraction. The images take the form of digital collages, which are derived from scanned photographs (shot on film) that were subsequently scanned, cropped, digitally manipulated and output as inkjet prints. These works date from the winter of 2012-2013.

Rick Caruso creates paintings by culling abstract forms from intersecting exterior and interior spaces—the industrial, the domestic, the landscape, the cartoon—and transforming these fragments into something analogous to a visual narrative.
Christina Kelly’s installation work is part of her ongoing project: A Field Guide to Office Plants. Here she displays actual potted plants (Sansevieria, Pothos, and the Janet Craig Dracaena form part of the selection) and, through drawings, text and photographs, explores these popular office plant’s source and how they landed in our cubicles.
Michael Krondl utilizes very large photographs derived from fragments of the natural world that locate the viewer in an uncomfortable and even dangerous space. He is exhibiting new work that engages ideas of falling and drowning.

Trestle is pleased to present Will Hutnick’s abstract paintings and Jeanne Wilkinson’s photographs and the video installation.

Hutnick’s energetic abstract paintings utilize tape, spray paint, ink, acrylic and oil as he simultaneously plays with large, sweeping gestures and minute details. His process is spontaneous, expressive and performative. Often his paintings are finished in one sitting. As he states, the process is “an event, a challenge, an experience.” Trestle explores the dialogue between the surprises that arise from his process and the permanence of the tangible results in his work.

Jeanne Wilkinson is formerly an abstract painter who now incorporates her paintings and drawings in animated short films. Her most recent video installation, The Sun and the Horn, celebrates the 2013 Summer Solstice—which coincides with the date of the exhibition’s opening reception. With multiple projectors and translucent scrims, Wilkinson’s figurative, abstract, and kaleidoscopic imagery envelops viewers as they interact with the installation. Adding to the installation’s collaborative and interactive qualities, the audience is invited to wear headdresses made by Wilkinson as they walk between the scrims.

Trestle is also presenting photographs from Wilkinson’s series entitled ‘Painted People,’ in which Wilkinson depicts the vision quests and adventures of figurines who travel the earth and beyond.

Elisabeth Condon combines improvisational pours of paint, sketchbook drawings and digital projections in idiosyncratic compositions that heed the Tang Dynasty dictum of landscape as a fusion of observation and memory. Her paintings interweave external and internal perceptions of particular locations, treating space like a scroll that is sectioned, then layered. The recipient of a Pollock Krasner Foundation Grant, Condon has been awarded artist residencies at Yaddo, Fountainhead, the Grand Canyon Artist-in-Residence Program and Red Gate International Artist Residency, Beijing. Recent exhibition venues include the National Museum of Art, Beijing, Weatherspoon Art Museum, Greensboro, NC, Ft. Lauderdale Museum, FL, the Housatonic Museum of Art, Bridgeport, CT and a survey exhibition at the Albany Museum of Art, Albany, GA, for which a catalogue was published. Her work is held in public collections including the US Embassy, Beijing and is represented by Emerson Dorsch, Miami and Lesley Heller Workspace, New York.

“…I’m beginning a new book to have a companion, someone with whom I can talk, eat, sleep, at whose side I can dream and have nightmares, the only friend whose company I can bear at the moment.” —Hervé Guibert

To The Friends Who Saved My Life,
…an exhibition prompted by the introduction of Francesca Woodman’s work to Heinz Peter-Knes and Danh Vō. They in turn suggested a parallel to Hervé Guibert, unknown to us at the time. About a year later, we learned that Nightboat Books, the companion enterprise to Callicoon Fine Arts, was newly engaged with Guibert translations, a publication plan that in turn prompted the gallery to introduce Guibert’s photographs to an American audience. Shared images and writings closed a circle that we hadn’t known of before, including our own works, those of Rona Yefman, an Israeli photographer living in New York, Heinz, Danh, and a single Francesca Woodman, as our starting point.

Guibert’s best known book, To the Friend Who Did Not Save My Life, is a memoir of crisis and roller-coaster years of rushing between doctors and lovers. With extraordinary recall and dispassion, that is, with a photographic voice, even towards his own diagnosis and decline, Guibert maps the early years of the AIDS crisis. In those times when human friends became “friend[s] whose company I can bear at the moment,” perhaps it was photography that eased them through the door.

Among the many formal similarities between Woodman and Guibert, it should be noted that both spent time living and photographing in Rome, where Heinz and Danh were recently in residence, and that the images Woodman and Guibert made there are steeped in its light and shadows. Rona Yefman did not know of Guibert, but she was known to us through her extended photo essay on her brother, and through a pair of striking one-minute films. Moyra’s bottles, Jason’s Polaroids and Rona’s sibling study, all keep the images close to home. Danh and Guibert absorb the Villa Medici residence through its physical effects upon its residents, past and present: the erotics of place carry by association, the knowledge of who was there before. So too does Heinz’s discovery of his own face plastered on the red-lit bathroom wall of a bar, and in his portfolio of black and white prints. Seemingly following an order that appeared in the unedited rolls of 35mm film, flared end frames included, Heinz’s box of prints return us back to the place of the photographer sorting the moments of seeing.

Roll Your Own press announces the publication of Part I of The Life and Times of Richard Musto, a modern day epic, written by Joe Lamport and photographed by Michel Delsol. The book chronicles the true-life story of Musto, an 88-year-old man and outsider artist who lives on the streets of Manhattan.

“This story is about a man’s survival on the City’s streets at an age when most of us would already be consigned to living in an assisted living facility,” as Joe Lamport explains. “Richard Musto is an artist - a survival artist - of the first rank.”

In conjunction with the publication, the authors are mounting an exhibit of photographs documenting Richard’s life on New York's sidewalks. Images from the book will be displayed alongside examples of Richard’s own writings and drawings. The exhibit will also feature an installation of one of Musto’s cardboard dwellings.

“We’re very grateful to Chashama for providing this gallery space where we can show Richard’s work and where visitors will be able to directly experience his life on the streets,” says Lamport. “We want to bring this outsider artist inside where his life and work can be more fully appreciated.”

“Richard’s creative energy has been crucial to his survival,” according to Michel Delsol. “We hope to continue that trend by dedicating a third of the proceeds we receive from the sale of books and prints to provide for Richard’s continued well-being.“

Judith Schaechter The Battle of Carnival and Lent
May 23 - Jul 6, 2013
Please join us for the opening reception with the Artist:
Thursday, May 23rd from 6 to 8 p.m.
show nearby

The Battle of Carnival and Lent, Judith Schaechter‘s new exhibition at Claire Oliver Gallery, tackles one of the most fundamental struggles known to man, the war humankind wages between good and evil. Dancing on the psychological border between spiritual aspiration and human suffering, the Artist questions the association of an environment of confinement/reflection in the name of self betterment and the harsh realities of the physical experience of imprisonment; She is speaking about the ’prisons‘ we all encounter, be they mental or physical.

Schaechter’s title window in the exhibition (and the largest in scale), inspired by the 16th century Brugel painting with the similar name “The Fight Between Carnival and Lent”, contains 96 figures (almost all previous Schaechter works contain only a single figure) locked in a mythic battle between virtue and vice. Depicted here by somber monks and garish clowns, hilarity and mayhem seduce impulse control; no blood is spilled in the Artist‘s rendition; here, softened by humor, we see the constant battle we face between our will, our desires, and our choices.

Inspired by the history of Philadelphia’s notorious gothic castle-like structure, Eastern State Penitentiary, where they were on temporary exhibition, these 17 works draw on mythology, the Bible, and even famous works of art from ages past. Schaechter‘s archetypes struggle with an angel on one shoulder and a devil on the other, exploring in turn the stories of Atlas, Prometheus, Noah, Icarus, Mary Magdalene and Andromeda.

Along with the figurative/narrative windows, there are a matching number of purely decorative patterned works which Schaechter calls “militant ornamentalist”, a nod to the great strength of 13th century European cathedrals, such as Chartres. Although ornamentation suffered in popularity during the Modernist period of art history, its power to move people has not been diminished. One has only to look to the great traditions of Islamic or Asian art to see the hypnotic and spiritual relevance ornamentation has.

Elisabeth Argo, Curator at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, says of the work, “When I saw Judith’s new works, my thoughts went to Guernica, Bruegel and Diego River‘s murals on industry or Otto Dix’s paintings looking at war. She‘s (Schaechter) looking at this moment and the issues of humanity and those artists were too.”

Says Schaechter of these works: I have strong feelings about this work appealing to those who are in transition, those who have known pain, grappled with despair. The parallels between cell and cathedral go beyond just appearances. In a church the windows are charged with profound meaning; the “windows” here are more than a mere “ray of hope” for the churchgoer and incarcerated alike.

Judith Schaechter’s works of art are included in the permanent collections of many important museums worldwide including The Metropolitan Museum of Art, NYC, the Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C., and the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, U.K. She has been included in preeminent Biennales including the Venice Biennale and the Whitney Biennial. Among other prestigious awards, Ms. Schaechter is the recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship, a USA Artists Fellowship, and two NEA grants.

Lucas Samaras Pastels June 7 – August 9, 2013

NEW YORK, NY – Craig F. Starr Gallery is pleased to announce Lucas Samaras Pastels, on view from June 7 to August 9, 2013. The exhibition showcases eighteen drawings from 1974 and 1981, as well as three of Samaras’s densely embellished boxes. A fully illustrated catalogue accompanies the show with an essay by Daniel S. Palmer, doctoral candidate in Art History at The Graduate Center, CUNY.

In 1974, Samaras produced more than 100 pastels. Working in concentrated bursts, he made fantastically patterned drawings that bridge the gaps between landscape, still life, and self-portraiture. These works evoke the inner landscape of the artist’s mind.

As sites of personal exploration and self-reflection, these striking pastels exploit the medium’s intrinsic qualities in dreamlike scenes, many of which contain ghostly figures embedded in their patterning. The active process of discovering this hidden imagery elicits personal inquiry in the viewer as it reveals the artist’s own unconscious desires. Deciphering these mysterious forms parallels the psychological process we enact when we retrieve an image from memory.

With his intricate boxes, Samaras explores similar issues of identity and memory, concealing caches of photographs and mementos within threatening, patterned exteriors. As part of his continual investigation of the self, Samaras’s boxes and pastels broaden the boundaries of self-portraiture.

Craig F. Starr Gallery is located at 5 East 73rd Street between Fifth and Madison Avenues. Gallery hours are Monday through Saturday, 11:00 am to 5:00 pm in June, Monday through Friday in July & August. For general information please view the gallery’s website at www.starr-art.com.
