Undercurrent Arts presents: In the Lives of Dolls.

This group exhibition features five American and international artists who use dolls and mannequins as subject matter in their paintings and photographs. In their artwork, dolls reflect reality, but it also appears as if reality is imposed upon these seemingly innocent and perfect beings. Dolls have been known to exist since at least the time of Greeks and Romans. They have been religious symbols or children’s toys, and the most human-like have traditionally been the most coveted. They can be both mesmerizing in their perfection and eerie in the vacancy of their stare. It is for this reason that dolls are perfect tools of artistic expression. They so easily inspire us to imagine our greatest fantasies or our worst nightmares. Because they allow us a certain degree of objectivity at being human, they can take us to the depths of self-exploration or the height of social critique.

Aliza Augustine

“My current work is a series of large digital photographs called Playing Grown Up. Using miniature dolls and sets placed on fairy tale backdrops I create narratives drawn on personal history and social/political commentary. The contradiction of good and evil inherent in fairy tales make a perfect backdrop for the narratives that are not what they seem at first glance." Aliza Augustine lives in works in West New York, NJ.

Maria de la Vega

"Voyeur...a private game becoming in my own world. The eye of pleasure, the doll in me." Maria de la Vega lives and works in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Ursula Sokolowska

“My photographs are projection based installations. The models are mannequins and their faces are projections. The faces of the children are slides that my father took of me when he was still involved in my life. My goal is to reconstruct my own childhood, empowering the past for better or for worse. The result is a troubling recreation of events that may seem disturbing but are far less in context to the real events that transpired.” Ursula Sokolowska was born in Krakow Poland and currently lives and works in Chicago, IL.

Star27

“The world is filled with bright lights to dazzle the eyes, and fast ways to thrill the senses. My work reflects on the examples I have seen of the casualties of this twisted consumerism based society we live in today. Those who stray into self-destruction seeking basic needs: love, acceptance, and happiness, and find it in dangerous places. I try to use my medium to undermine preconceptions and expose a society that praises wealth, possessions, and its own predetermined standards of beauty, at any cost.” Star27 works and lives on the west coast of Florida.

Jennifer Tyler

“The fusion of organic and artificial, nature and technology, in all their forms, have always fascinated and inspired me. I have engulfed vintage dolls from my childhood into situations beyond they’re intention to create such an effect. Dolls (artificial) meet life (organic) is a series I have created to push the ideas of what should and shouldn’t be.” Jennifer Tyler currently lives and works in Indian Harbor Beach, FL.

In the Lives of Dolls - Exhibition runs March 8 to April 5, 2008

Exhibition hours are Friday, December 7th, 9 a.m. 11 p.m., Saturday, December 8th, 11 a.m. 11 p.m., with evening hours 7 11 p.m. in conjunction with Art Loves Design, and December 9th, Sunday 11 a.m. 7 p.m. Beyond Icons: Contemporary Chinese Art in Miami is curated by Ms. Weng Ling, a leading inter-disciplinary art curator, director of Legation Quarter, Beijing, and founding director of the Shanghai Gallery of Art at Three on the Bund, Shanghai.

The eight artists in the exhibition are Gu Dexin, Liu Jianhua, Liu Wei, Wang Jianwei, Wang Qingsong, Xu Jiang, Zeng Hao, and Zhou Chunya.

RUSSIA MIAMI 2007 Art Exhibition

2007-11-29T14:04:00.000-05:00

RUSSIA

MIAMI 2007

RUSSIA MIAMI 2007, an exhibition of contemporary Russian art and culture, will be on view in the Collins Building, 39 NE 39th Street,in the Miami Design District, from December 3-10, 2007.The exhibition is curated by Julie Sylvester, Associate Curator of Contemporary Art at the State Hermitage Museum, St. Petersburg, organized by RIGroup, in cooperation with HUGO BOSS, and supported by DACRA Development. The exhibition will be open daily from 12 noon-9 pm. RUSSIA Miami 2007 is inspired by the artists and the galleries who formed the foundation for contemporary art in Russia, said Julie Sylvester. The exhibition will include works by the major players on the contemporary scene in Moscow and St. Petersburg as well as works by younger artists and artists whose works may have remained relatively unknown in the new rush to the art market. The art selected for the exhibition is a purely Russian art, art made in the post Soviet era, influenced by a rapidly changing society, and in some cases, not represented by galleries.Russia Miami 2007 is our second venture in Miami. Next summer we will present an exhibition of the finalists of the Kandinsky Prize for contemporary Russian Art in New York. In addition, we are planning exhibitions of contemporary American artists in Moscow. Aidan Salakhova co-founded the First Gallery in Moscow in 1989, the very first gallery committed to contemporary art in Russia. She is also an artist and will present a new installation work. Gennady Ustyugov was born in 1938 and although his earlier work is represented in Russian museums, he lives in relative obscurity in St. Petersburg. His collages which are autobiographical in nature and are made from spare household materials on old cardboard, may bring to mind works by Paul Mc Carthy, although he has surely never seen a western art magazine. Sergey Bugaev Africa is well known to the international art world, but a major installation of his work of recycled objects of the Soviet era has not been viewed outside of Europe. We will bring a large new work that incorporates early 20th century hand painted sleighs. Oleg Golosiy (1965-1993) was a prolific painter who died before the age of 30, and his work is certainly unknown outside of Russia. As well, there are early works by Timur Novikov (1958-2002) including one early landscape painting, which may be a surprise to those familiar with his fabric works. Petr Denisenko began making art in mental hospitals where he was frequently treated in Soviet times for "commercial syndrome". His contribution is a robust, manic collection of drawings which have been made over the past few years in No Drawing No Cry, Martin Kippenberger's book of empty hotel stationery. The artists, therefore, are a varied lot and hail from different parts of vast Russia. Images of contemporary Russian life form an odyssey through the exhibition in a new series of photographs made by Sergey Bratkov. Other artists in the exhibition are Nikolay Bakharev, Dmitry Bulnygin, Vladimir Dubosarsky & Alexander Vinogradov, Georgy Gurianov, Dmitry Gutov, Sergey Shekhovtsov (Porolon), Natasha Struchova, and Vasiliy Tsagalov. Moscow based designer Denis Simachev has been invited to participate and will create new designs and products for RUSSIA Miami 2007. The 176 page catalogue, edited by Julie Sylvester, available at the exhibition, will richly represent the artists works and will include portraits and biographies. A short story, The Life and Adventures of Shed Number XII, by the acclaimed author Victor Pelevin is the text for the catalogue. Many of the artists will be in Miami for the exhibition. We expectto have the exhibition become a meeting place, a Treffpunkt, point de recontre, for our visitors. We will make full use of the plaza area in front of the Collins Building, where we will always have water for our friends, contemporary Russian magazines, catalogues, and good conversation.

Art Basel Miami Beach: New Partnership

2007-11-29T13:53:00.001-05:00

Art Basel Miami Beach
New Partnership between Art Basel and Cartier

Cartier, one of the world's leading luxury goods companies, has joined Art Basel and Art Basel Miami Beach as a new Associate Sponsor. For the Art Basel Miami Beach show, Cartier will create the Cartier Dôme, located in the Miami Beach Botanical Garden. In addition, the Fondation Cartier will present itself to the public in the Art Guest Lounge, in a special space designed by world-famous architect Jean Nouvel.

The Miami Beach Botanical Garden, across from the Convention Center, will be home to the Cartier Dôme and will house an incredible array of one-of-a-kind jewelry in a dramatic and creative setting. This is where Cartier will receive VIP guests and organize events in honor of art-world personalities. The Cartier Dôme will be open to the public every day from 2:00 – 4:00 pm during the art show. The new partnership gives the Fondation Cartier pour l’art contemporain the opportunity to present its Parisian program of exhibitions as well as its publications. The start was made at this year’s Art 38 Basel with a new commission project featuring an interactive piece by the internationally renowned French artist Pierrick Sorin. The enterprise continues in Miami with the Jean Nouvel-designed lounge.

Dec 5 Italian Design Collective Exhibition at Poltrona Frau Showroom

2007-11-29T13:35:00.000-05:00

During Art Basel Week

Contemporary Campania Design Collective Mundus Viviendi to Present

Interior Design at the Poltrona Frau Showroom
Exhibition, on view December 5-9

Mundus Vivendi, a collective of 15 emerging designers from the Naples and the surrounding area will present a unique, sensory exhibition experience at the Poltrona Frau showroom in the Miami Design District. Sponsored by Fiera Milano and the Regione Campania Assessorato all’Agricoltura e Attivià Produttive, the exhibition will invite visitors to discover how environmental factors can affect how a space or object is perceived. Interior Design will be on view from December 5-9, 2007 (coinciding with Design Miami/ and Art Basel Miami Beach) at the Poltrona Frau showroom, 10 N.E. 39th Street, Miami, Florida. A press preview will take place December 4 from 6:00-8:00 pm.

The objects and furniture on view are created from traditional materials such as glass, ceramic, wood, wrought iron, and fabric. They are tied together through the common themes of the four elements (water, earth, air, and fire) and the inspiration of Mount Vesuvius, one of the Campania’s major geographical landmarks. However, although the artwork is linked thematically, the innovative use of light will allow each visitor to experience an independent emotional response to the presentation. Light will skew perception, challenging the traditional understanding of an object as static and discrete from its environment.

Art Basel Miami Beach 2007: Art in Public Spaces

2007-11-29T04:57:00.000-05:00

Art Basel Miami Beach

«Art Projects»: Art in Public Spaces

«Art Projects» features 9 projects by internationally renowned artists from 8 countries. On show in public spaces in Miami Beach, these works engage directly with the spectator, interrupting the daily routine of passers-by in poetic, alienating, or surprising ways. «Art Projects» offers fascinating insight into leading contemporary artists’ interpretation of new art in public spaces. Most of the pieces are newly created or installed site-specifically for Art Basel Miami Beach.

Art Basel Miami Beach 2007 - Modified Social Benches

2007-11-29T03:33:00.000-05:00

«Modified Social Benches» (2006) of German artist Jeppe Hein (Johann König, Berlin, 303 Gallery, New York) vary in style. Some of them are openly puzzling, almost as if they had been generically altered, forcing the user to adapt passively to their new form. Others look as if they had been vandalized, but not to the point of being completely useless. Planks might have been detached and laid on the adjacent ground; a leg might be missing. Either way, the visitor is called on to develop a creative way to utilize them. The third situation is the trickiest. The benches look absolutely normal until you use them. Then you discover that the legs or the back are fixed with loose joints, that the planks are attached only on one side, or that the bench sinks under the weight of those who sit on it. Venue: Various locations: City Hall, Miami Beach Convention Center Entrance D, Collins Avenue, Collins Park, beachfront at Art Positions.

Art Basel Miami Beach 2007 - The Herbarium

2007-11-29T02:23:00.000-05:00

Over the years, Alberto Baraya (Galería Alcuadrado, Bogotá) has constructed a herbarium for artificial plants as an ongoing project that reelaborates 18th- and 19th- century royal scientific journeys to the Americas, such as The Spanish Royal Botanical Expedition in Nueva Granada, which collected, dissected, classified, and framed non-European nature. For «Art Projects», Baraya is building a greenhouse in Collins Park. The greenhouse will be filled with plastic plants and flowers, all classified with tags «scientifically» labeling each individual artificial specimen. If the plastic plants inside this greenhouse were real live botanical species, they could not possibly coexist in the same environment. In this sense, these «Made in China» plants comment not only on the limits of constructing reality but also on the fiction of democracy in a globalized world. Venue: Collins Park, 21st Street.

2007-11-29T01:45:00.000-05:00

«Scarface» is a light sculpture owing its name to a film by Brian de Palma (1983). As first presented in an old cinema in Marseilles in 2000, the sculpture was made of iron letters reminiscent of an old movie banner, and played with the expectations of suburban teenagers, who were all fascinated by Al Pacino in the title role of de Palma’s movie. For the outdoor presentation in Miami, Claude Lévêque (kamel mennour, Paris) transforms this sculpture into a transparent and glittering object, the concretization of an idea floating over the ground. The sculpture also goes back to where it comes from since the film was shot in Miami. Venue: In front of The Fillmore Miami Beach at the Jackie Gleason Theater.

Art Basel Miami Beach 2007 - Haluk Akakce

2007-11-29T01:41:00.000-05:00

«Searching for the Gravity's Rainbow (in the garden of light)» is the title of Turkish artist Haluk Akakce’s (Galerie Hetzler, Berlin) work for «Art Projects». The installation covers a large empty area on Watson Island across from the Children’s Museum in Miami Beach. The ground will be covered with flickering light bulbs of different sizes, some with color filters and laser lights, to create a kind of electric carpet, a glowing landscape. Certain areas will be raised and marked with different colored and tonally graded lights. At two points of the land there will be towers of different heights: simple structures made of black powder-coated aluminum and also covered with light sources. Although the work is intended to appear and be most effective from the early hours of the evening to the late night, it creates an interesting look all the time, the lights forming a sort of sheer artificial membrane over the landscape. This Art Project is supported by Flagstone, developer of Island Gardens, future site of a sculpture park. Venue: Watson Island, 1050 Macarthur Causeway, Miami.

Art Basel Miami Beach 2007 - Travel Snow Shovel

2007-11-29T01:37:00.000-05:00

The work «Traveling Snow Shovel» by German artist Björn Dahlem (Galerie Guido W. Baudach, Berlin) refers to ideas on German Romanticism as well as to Marcel Duchamp’s famous snow-shovel piece «Sculpture for Traveling» (1918). The sculpture is a single life-sized, standing, cast aluminum snow shovel lingering lonesome on the beach. The shovel is meant to shovel snow or closely related substances.

Art Basel Miami Beach - Art Supernova

2007-11-29T01:15:00.000-05:00

Art Basel Miami Beach
New: Art Supernova

Art Basel Miami Beach is introducing a new sector this year: Art Supernova. It features 20 galleries presenting new works by both emerging and renowned artists in an experimental group show. The concept offers an alternative form of gallery presentation in an art fair context. Art Supernova takes a collaborative approach that links the participating galleries in a new way. Instead of each gallery having its own separate booth, the exhibitors in Art Supernova have interconnected exhibition spaces, a common storage area, and shared facilities for presenting works on paper, videos, performances, artist files, books, and catalogs. They also share a joint office space and a cafeteria. Austrian artist Peter Kogler is creating a site-specific work for the sector. Art Supernova gives visitors an opportunity to discover a wide array of new works fresh from the studio.

List of participating galleries and artists: Art Concept (FR- Paris): Philippe Perrot, Gedi Sibony, Birch Libralato Gallery (CA-Toronto): Euan Macdonald, Charles Goldman, Luis Jacob, Bortolami Gallery (US-New York): Avner Ben-Gal, Hope Atherton, Bozida Brazda, The Breeder Projects (GR-Athens): Mindy Shapero, Jannis Varelas, Spencer Brownstone Gallery (US-New York): Tessa Farmer, Stefan Hirsig, Ariel Orozco, Ellen de Bruijne Projects (NL-Amsterdam): Maria Pask, Keren Cytter, Falke Pisano, D'Amelio Terras (US-New York): Sam Samore, Roland Flexner, Noah Sheldon, Anna Helwing Gallery (US-Los Angeles): Kelly Nipper, Matt Keegan, Herald St (GB-London): Cary Kwok, Donald Urquhart, Djordje Ozbolt, IBID Projects (GB-London): Anders Clausen, Vita Zaman, Mathew Darbyshire, Galerie Michael Janssen (DE-Cologne): Julieta Aranda, Till Gerhard, Thaddeus Strode, Galerie Maisonneuve (FR-Paris): Jan Kopp, Servane Mary, Ralph Samuel Grossmann, Sara Meltzer Gallery (US-New York): Stephen Dean, Felipe Barbosa, Nina Katchadourian, Punto Gris (PR-San Juan): Dzine, Katie Holten, Mamiko Otsubo, Marília Razuk Galería de Arte (BR-São Paulo): Cabelo, Caetano Dias, Rodrigo Andrade, Perry Rubenstein Gallery (US-New York): Robin Rhode, Diana Al-Hadid, Daniel Rich, Jack Shainman Gallery (US-New York): El Anatsui, Subodh Gupta, Bharti Kher, Shugoarts (JP-Tokyo): Mitsuhiro Ikeda, Yukio Fujimoto, Masaya Chiba, Sommer Contemporary Art (IL-Tel Aviv):Adi Nes, Rona Yefman, Ofir Dor, Max Wigram/MW Projects (GB-London): Marine Hugonnier, Barnaby Hosking, Richard Wathen
