Emerging New York Artists

Participating artists: Rich Porpiglia, Lauren Velasquez, Kyle Sajban, Tristan Mosser and Christina Kampson

Uniting the works in this exhibition of emerging New York artists is the influence of photography and illustration on contemporary art and culture. These two mediums have both had to fight for acceptance in the art world, and continue to do so in some circles. But whatever legitimacy they may still lack in the world of galleries, museums, and private collections they have more than made up for with an infusion of material into society-at-large that painting and sculpture could never hope to attain.

Realm of Invention

Petra Nimtz, Stefania Mainardi, Gonzalo Ferrer, Francois Geffray, Beatrice Burel, Nazim Mehmet, Fredrik Flink, Catherine de Saugy, Lisa Ferguson, and Marija-Tanaskovic Papadopouolos.

Realm of Invention features a varied group of artists whose works are ingenious and enjoyable. The group exhibition captures the very moment where conceptual artistic vision intersects with creative revelations. The exhibition serves as a witness to the artistic development of these artists who employ a diversity of material from painting and collage to photography and sculpture. The result will be a commentary on the infinite possibilities of each artist’s imagination.

Unframed Portraits; The Self and Others

Image Courtesy of Monica L. Shulman

Unframed Portraits presents a range of artists whose works explore unconventional depictions of the portrait. Deconstructing typical notions of what art history and contemporary society see as portraiture, Unframed Portraits investigates all aspects of portraiture from domestic documentation and archive to the exploration of the self. Elegant and elusive, the exhibition embraces the ambiguity in life, death, and art; often translating the tension between universal human frailty and the totemic qualities of the human image that are central to visual art. Unframed Portraits captures the notion that identity is perhaps something more internal, more ephemeral, and more personal that what the eye may grasp on first glance.

3D Project Room Installation

In 3D Project Room Installation Alpay creates an innovative world within a world. Each of these “worlds” are in the creating with a variety of mediums by Alpay and the several other collaborating artists and non-artist friends and guests during the show. Turkish artist Gulay Alpay has developed a reputation for poetic epic works that display both delicacy and fragility, revealing a deep respect for something fundamental, some primal, indigenous sense of shape and color, yet she creates with bursts of contemporary idioms. Her paintings are playful, spirited, freeform and deceptively complex. There’s not a single corner, hard edged, geometric line to be found in her composition, instead the shapes are as fluid as the submerged sounds that fuel her imagination.

Emre Erturk’s work is considered expressionist and collected worldwide. His art work continues to receive worldwide acclaim. Some of Emre Ertürk’s world famous customers include Princess Nilufer, Princess Irine, Jennifer Lopez, Britney Spears, Beyonce, Glenn Close, Susan Sarandon, Milla Jojovich, Robert De Niro, Anne Lynne McCord, Paula Abdul, Michael Sheen and Carmen Electra. Recently Erturk partnered up with International public relations firm Promedya for world-wide projects and events.

Gulay Alpay began the invoative piece in Istanbul, and will continue the piece and the creative process in the gallery space here in NY. Utilizing every inch of the project room space; her artistic vision will not be hampered by the gallery walls limits. This is a method Alpay’s come to be known for during her many years of artistic discourse. Leaving an open space only through which to accept the visitors, the artist will also welcome visitors to interact and participate in her world and work of art.

Alpay will re-create and bring her studio into project room of the gallery and create an “Open Studio Tour” where the artist and visitor can both exist inside the picture and therefore exist within the artist’s state of creation. Alpay includes hundreds of submissions by means of her social and technological networks, by artists and non-artist’s alike. All these submitted doodles will appear in Alpay’s installation creating a multi-colored foundation for further creation within the gallery space.

This world made of silk, ink, and acrylic paint will then offer many surprises including painting, being embraced with clothing of silk painting that will have its last strokes of paint spontaneously added by the artist or by selecting the measurements of a silk scarf that will be completed right there and then as a collaboration by the artist and the visitor.

An other special art work on silk which Gulay Alpay began in Istanbul, will be continued by artist and designer Emre Erturk here in New York. Both artists will be selling the piece to help fundraise money for www.strength.org. Anti-hunger organization that mobilizes industries and individuals to contribute their talents to fight hunger. Alpay is looking forward to the exchange, combination, and fusion over her ever so volatile and brilliantly colorful energy with each and every person visiting her studio at project room, playfully, spontaneously—all for the sake of peace and beauty.

Translucent Threads

Translucent Threads presents the work of Margareta Petre, Sara Wight, Thomas Sarbach, Erica Ronnbeck, Jacob Alexander, Rachel Eshet, Georgeta Stefanescu, Mieke Vanmechelen, Mara Corfini, KILU, and Matt Callinan is an effervescent display of artistic contemplation.

Translucent Threads features works that segue between the conceptual and the concrete. Unconfined by definitions, these works break the norms and invite viewers to roam in a field where freespirited-ness, joined by dexterousness, creating a body of works that speak truths about life. Each works shown creates a visual pause, allowing the audience to time to contemplate their environment. Incorporating a wide array of media and subject matter, Translucent Threads possesses a broad vision. Malone provides a show that demonstrates a dexterity, sensibility, and awareness of art history far more informed than the “outsider” or “visionary” schools of art.

Exploiting the “public space” of the gallery curator Basak Malone choreographs a show that blends modes of design, architecture, sculpture, installation, and craft, with each artist projecting an entirely different perspective.

The subtle sophistication and bold experimentation of these works attests to each of the artist’s willingness to break boundaries and seek out new approaches. Drawing on a dynamic range of inspirations and influences, the works in Translucent Threads exude both sensitivy and grace.

Nino Korinteli

The Broadway Gallery is pleased to present the latest work of dynamic artist Nino Korinteli. Originally from Georgia, now based in New York Korinteli’s latest work shines out from everything she has done before. It focuses on the feeling of being on the road in both the literal and wider sense. Here all things are visible through the glass of the moving train window for the seconds, allowing the viewer to spot them before disappearing behind. With Korinteli’s work you’re just an observer heading somewhere else and not intending to stop and take a closer look. Her unique visions are isolated from you, sometimes magnificent, sometimes disturbing but always carrying a particular, and romantic identity. They have their story, their lifeline and mystery almost hidden from the passer by.

Korinteli’s work is not an attempt to make a travel or vocational set, there are no tourist sights, or even places where you might want to get off the train. The images are not those which recall memories of good time and joy but those evoking desire to understand the puzzle, calm down and probably forget. Or perhaps they are simply just the visual diary of a stranger.

In terms of photography the work incorporates more documentary then Abstraction in a similar aesthetic to my paintings. Most images have natural motion, out of focus and multi layered effects using a technique where the original images are saturated, printed and then painted and drawn over.

HAPPINESS

The Broadway Gallery NYC is pleased to announce

HAPPINESS
April 16 – April 30, 2009

Curated by Stefania Carrozzini

Production and organization: I AM. INTERNATIONAL ART MEDIA

Artists: GIANLUIGI ALBERIO, DAVIDE ALBORGHETTI, EGIDIO CASTELLI, MARISA PEZZOLI, GABRIELLA PORPORA, LUIGI CHRISTOPHER VEGGETTI KANKU, EUGENIO VIGNALI, SUSI ZUCCHI

I have always considered art to be the principal means by which human beings communicate with one another thus feeling themselves to be a part of history and in harmony with nature and it is in this relationship that happiness resides. Pierre Restany

“HAPPINESS”, curated by Stefania Carrozzini, brings together 8 artists from Italy selected in virtue of their relation to the human experience of happiness. The exhibition is focused on the channels of happiness as light, space and energy captured by an open mind and a open heart Through different media such as sculptures, paintings, photograph, the artists testified their relation with happiness that occurred during ordinary time and life, but also as mysterious and inexplicable force that lead our creative process and our lives.

“The nature of happiness is the same as that of art: they are both revolutionary forces which stir from our thoughts and feelings and place such values as freedom and truth at stake. Art and happiness are tools with which to understand the world and human nature. They share two fundamental aspects of our being: on the one hand the desire for immortality, for duration in time, the aspiration to reach an ideal state, that of the work which represents Everything, means Everything, happiness and unhappiness, light and dark. On the other hand, there is the awareness of duration, of transience, of time, of all that is ephemeral, fleeting, worldly. When artists are absorbed in their work, they are completely immersed in a dimension which aspires to happiness as the original state of our being, of our creative intelligence. In mankind’s innermost soul the aspiration to happiness reigns supreme.

It is up to us to defend it from those who would like to suppress it. Happiness feeds on the immaterial, yet it needs matter and experience in order to transpire. Yet what is the nature of happiness? Is it a form of hedonism and asceticism, it is also the ability not to become the victim of and dependent on pleasure. For this reason art is the golden mean to happiness, because whilst being involved with matter, the artist is called upon to expand the limits of his being and can do none other than wonder at the existence of the world, than see it as a miracle with eyes which go beyond possession. The happiness of creating is above whatever joy may derive from the created object and it is immortal and because, like the patient gardening of our soul, it is a constant practice which lovingly sets us in the present with the poetic vitality of life.”(from the catalogue)

HAPPINESS is accompanied by a catalogue featuring a text by Stefania Carrozzini. The exhibition is composed by 20 artworks and is on view from April 16 to April 30 in the main space of Broadway Gallery.

Bedel Tiscareno

Both the paintings and sculptures in this exhibition focus on the current upheaval that has gripped the border between the US and Mexico. The work investigates and scrutinizes the notions of violence and commerce, and how the border embodies two very different cultural mythologies that struggle to understand one another. Juarez, a border town that is heavily affected by the ‘Narco’ violence, has been a recurring theme in Tiscareno’s work for many years. The paintings precede the creation of the sculptures in the exhibition and begin to concretize the language that the artist uses to address issues of identity and loss. The sculptures, most of which were recently completed, were designed as studies for life size monuments that are intended to be installed along the US/Mexico border.

Tiscareno’s work is best known for its compelling compositions wherein traditional figuration is deconstructed along a system of semiotics. He has developed a signature style wherein method becomes narrative and multiplicity becomes the plot. Tiscareno has exhibited his works throughout the West Coast and in New York galleries. His works are represented in private collections and his images have been featured in several publications. Bedel Tiscareno currently lives and works in New York City.
