However, when they discover the company owner hasn’t been paying the workers and plans to shut the company’s doors forever, they realize they must save their company, save their friends, and most importantly, save their way of life. With the help of an unexpected confidant, the three lads attempt to carry out the greatest heist Grimsby has ever seen, what could possibly go wrong?

RAGNAR KJARTANSSON

Posted on 2022-11-14

No Tomorrow is a new video installation by Kjartansson, choreographer Margrét Bjarnadóttir, and composer Bryce Dessner. Spanning six screens that encircle the room, the installation surrounds viewers with a performance of spatial music written for eight dancers with eight guitars. Recorded from the center of the performers’ space, the installation is kaleidoscopic, capturing the dancers as they weave within each screen and across the channels; their movements and melodies ranging from pastorale to rock and roll. Combining a variety of classic Western references – blue jeans and white t-shirts, the draped silk curtains of mid-20th century song and dance films, as well as lyrics drawn from the Archaic Greek poet Sappho and adventurer Vivant Denon, two sensualists millennia apart – the work spins notions of idealization and iconography. It is also a reflection on our ideals of beauty, our search for it, and the absurdity of its representations, inspired by the frivolity and reality of Rococo paintings, classical ballet, and modern pop music videos. The performance was initially commissioned for the Iceland Dance Company in 2017, and the new video work features the original cast of performers, all of whom were integral to the development of the work.

BOMBAY SAPPHIRE X BASQUIAT

Posted on 2022-11-14

The artwork references one of Basquiat’s earliest works, Untitled (L.A Painting), which has never been licensed before and appeared only once in his second ever show. Dominated by the same light blue of the alcohol brand, the composition contains many key visuals emblematic of Basquiat’s career, the crown, the bird, the coin, and the skull, amongst many.

“We are honored to shine a light on Basquiat’s dynamic creativity and offer an entirely new way to experience art” said Jaime Keller, Brand Director of Bombay Sapphire North America, in a statement. “This bottle represents our longstanding history of supporting creative visionaries in our mission to make the art world more accessible. Through the release of our third artist-designed Special Edition bottle, we are allowing people access to Jean-Michel Basquiat’s art to be inspired by his work for generations to come.”

LUCIO FONTANA – SCULPTURE

Posted on 2022-11-14

Curated by Luca Massimo Barbero, in collaboration with the Fondazione Lucio Fontana, and focused on Fontana’s prolific breakthroughs and experiments in the medium of sculpture, this exhibition will fill the gallery’s uptown location at 32 East 69th Street, the very same address where, in 1961, Fontana’s first solo show in the US was presented at the galleries of the legendary art dealers Martha Jackson and David Anderson. ‘Lucio Fontana. Sculpture’ will feature over 80 works on loan from important institutions and museums, the Fondazione Lucio Fontana and both private and public collections and will shine a light on a critical dimension of the artist’s revolutionary practice that is rarely explored in depth outside of Europe.

Opposite – Concetto spaziale [Spatial Concept], 1968

Exhibition runs through to February 4th, 2023

TOMMY KHA, MÁ

Posted on 2022-11-14

Má—the Southern Vietnamese term for “mom”—is an ongoing, decade-long collaboration between the artist and his mother, May. Their mother-son dynamic is both affectionate and antagonistic; while co-creating these photographs on view May cooks for Tommy and helps him pose which results in what Kha considers partial self-portraits. Kha’s work is characterized by his signature sense of humor—an unexpected combination of deadpan and camp—that he uses to explore ideas around dislocation and alienation as well as home, family, and love.

Exhibition runs through to December 10th, 2022
