GIULIA ANDREANI – WAS BIRGST DU SO BANG DEIN GESICHT?

Posted on 2020-05-11

Jan Henderikse, a Dutch-American citizen, was born in the Dutch city of Delft in 1937. He left his hometown in 1959 for Düsseldorf, Germany and from there he moved to Curaçao in 1962. In 1968 he moved to New York and lived for a few years in the iconic Chelsea Hotel. He embraced New York as his new hometown while maintaining studios in Berlin and Antwerp.

Henderikse was well aware of the new developments in the New York art scene with which he immediately felt an affinity with. In 1962 the legendary Sidney Janis Gallery presented ‘The New Realists’, an exhibition with Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, Claes Oldenburg and George Segal in combination with their European ‘Nouveau Realisme’ counterparts Yves Klein, Jean Tinguley, Arman and Daniel Spoerri. Henderikse knew his European colleagues quite well, having exhibited with them in the early days. They all shared similar ideas and felt the same in creating and welcoming this ‘New Realisme’. For them, no more old-fashioned painting, but instead now facing New Reality.

LINDA STARK

Posted on 2020-05-11

Spanning the last decade, this selection of Stark’s works on paper incorporates techniques such as piercing, kissing, and collage, and exemplifies her tendency to utilize the full physical potential of her materials. Each drawing or painting on paper, like her paintings on canvas, is the result of highly virtuosic techniques that often require long periods of time to execute. These pictures reflect personal experiences, visions, and sensations that give rise to iconic images. Each is like an amulet charged with devotional fervor.

Stark’s work is notable for the laser-like focus with which it is conceived and made, but she is unafraid of taking on themes with broad reach: the metaphysical and political ramifications of gender, the power of the female gaze and body, the roles played by animals in human lives and dreams, and the mythological and spiritual dimensions of the natural world. Her project, which has evolved over the course of four decades, represents not only a complete rethinking of how materials like paper and paint can function as physical substances, but the sustained elaboration of an entire worldview suffused with curiosity, mysticism, humor, and criticality.

BARBARA MORGAN – DANCING ATOMS

Posted on 2020-05-11

Barbara Morgan, a founding member of the Aperture Foundation, earned a reputation as a Modernist. Much of her work involves dance, photomontage, and a desire to capture motion. She often would design her images so that the figure was shown against neutral or blank backgrounds that heightened the energy of the motion. As proven in Morgan’s photographs, the exploration of movement is a theme that countless photographers have been drawn to in the past. Capturing the beauty and effort of kinetic energy on film takes not only a keen photographic eye, but, more importantly, an understanding of the science that creates such action. Morgan was one such photographer. Her legacy of observing life in relation to “dancing atoms” is forever preserved on film and on paper, providing a glimpse into her world of photography, painting, light, and modern dance.
