Burk Uzzle - Woodstock: 40th Anniversary

July 7, 2009 until August 20, 2009 // Laurence Miller Gallery // New York, NY

Laurence Miller Gallery joins the nationwide celebration of Woodstock's 40th birthday with an exhibition of photographs by Burk Uzzle, the foremost photographer of arguably the most peaceful assemblage of over 300,000 persons ever. Approximately 25 vintage, modern and color prints from the Woodstock Music and Arts Festival, as it originally was promoted, will be shown.

Burk Uzzle shot the festival from the vantage point of a participant. In one particularly telling photograph, a sea of humanity as dense as a carpet of wildflowers in a meadow spills over a hillside; in another, a young hippie couple standing in a tender embrace under a grandmother's quilt became the icon of a generation. Rather than document the music, Uzzle chose to focus on details of living, existence, and enjoyment over that three day period. In so doing, he captured the spirit of the festival and ultimately an era.

It has been 40 years since the peace and love generation descended in a greater mass than ever imagined on Yasgur's farm in upstate Bethel, New York. The original festival ballooned to way more folks than the sleepy towns of Middletown or Woodstock could accommodate, so Max Yasgur very generously gave his hillside over to the organizers in what would become surely the most celebrated festival of its kind. At its conclusion, Woodstock became recognized as one of the most significant events in the history of rock music, but its effect was even grander. In an America rife with racial tension and at war in Vietnam, Woodstock defined the culture of a generation, a message of hope for a brighter and more peaceful future.

Pool Gallery presents Andy Gilmore "Black Math"

July 11, 2009 until August 22, 2009 // Pool Gallery // Berlin, Germany // opening reception: Friday July 10, 2009 @ 19:00 h - 23:00 h

Bright swirling colors, intricately interwoven lines morphing into sleek harmonius forms - the mesmerizing kaleidescopic images of Rochester, New York-based multi-talent Andy Gilmore have a futuristic, almost alien feel to them. His designs transcend straight-forward aesthetic beauty, their forms inhabiting a realm of mathematical complexity, containing a certain geometric musicality.

Andy Gilmore is also a musician. Deeply interested in the physics of sound and acoustics, his work reflects just that. In these pieces, Gilmore explores the physical properties of tone - the resonance of a single string creating a range of vibrations and sound waves, both audible and inaudible - and mirrors that relationship visually, producing complex images with overtones swimming through undertones, melodies dancing with accompaniment.

Composed primarily of bold and bright colors on black backgrounds, Gilmore's hypnotic forms seem to hover like spacecrafts - out-of-this-world figures of elaborate and sophisticated design. More than a participant in the rising trend of digital art, Andy Gilmore is an innovator, dreaming up works that, without computers, could not exist.

Andy Gilmore currently lives and works in Rochester, New York. His graphic design clients include: The New York Times, Dazed & Confused Magazine, Wire Magazine, and many more.

Salomon Contemporary: (East Hampton, NY) FOUR AT THE START curated by Alice Aycock

July 5, 209 until July 26, 2009 // Salomon Contemporary // East Hampton, NY

Salomon Contemporary is pleased to present FOUR AT THE START featuring Vito Acconci, Laurie Anderson, George Trakas and Jackie Winsor, curated by Alice Aycock. The title of this exhibition references the start of the careers in the early to mid 70's of these four prominent artists. The work presented by each artist marks a pivotal juncture in his or her career that made an indelible mark in the art discourse at the time. Collectively these are all considered breakthrough pieces and exude a rawness that was new by challenging the accepted doctrine of minimalism at that moment in history. The works engaged in a style that bridged sculpture, architecture and the environment with a heavy emphasis on content and process.

Included in this exhibition are photographic documentations of Duets on Ice, a very early piece by Laurie Anderson first executed in 1972 in Rome. One of her most-cited performances, Duets on Ice involved her playing the violin along with a recording while wearing ice skates with the blades frozen into a block of ice; the performance ended only when the ice had melted away. For this exhibition George Trakas will reconstruct an installation, drawing on ideas from 1970s works exhibited at the spaces like the legendary 112 Greene Street. A structure that appears to be unfinished extends out from the interior to exterior space, and allows time, weather and nature to take over. The rain and weather conditions cause the piece to shift and change, gradually morphing in to a new piece. Construction and transition become Trakas’ sculptures. Instead of a slick, finished, fabricated end-product, the process and the work-in-progress become the piece. His sculptures are not static, they are events – they are unpredictable and chaotic.

Jackie Winsor’s work is linked to Minimalist sculpture, yet it’s separated by its organic, handmade quality. Brick Square, 1971, included in this exhibition, consists of bricks stacked 15" x 50" x 50" forming a chimney shape. It is geometric but unrefined. Winsor’s laborious handmade constructions place it among the more metaphorical works made by post-minimalist sculptors working during the late 1960s and 70s. In a reference to her 1979 retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art, Winsor has said “What my work is about is putting things together…. I’m interested in what is holding them together.”

The artists included in this exhibition have all gone on to have long-term established art careers. The pieces in this exhibition are believed to be pivotal, breakthrough works, and are today considered emblematic of their revolutionary styles.
