Food for Thought: Photography by Erin Gleeson

Broadway Gallery is pleased to announce the exhibit of Food for Thought: Photography by Erin Gleeson, curated by Jade Doskow, which will open on Tuesday, December 16th and close on Tuesday, December 30th, with a reception for the artist on Friday, December 19th from 6-8 p.m.
MIn the midst of the holiday season, the one constant most everyone can agree upon is the food. Erin Gleeson finds glamour and beauty in cuisine both everyday and exotic in her photography. In the Payard series—on display in the Broadway Gallery’s project room—Gleeson teamed up with the renowned pastry chef Francois Payard, creating ethereal, colorful collages that mingle food and fantasy.

Enjoy the show, and remember….the pictures are not edible!

ARTANGEL IN 2009

Spring 2009… Channel 4 broadcast ALAN KANE’S LIFE CLASS. Amateur enthusiasts are invited to pick up pencils or charcoal and draw a different life model each day. The TV life classes will also inspire a network of ‘pop-up’ public life drawing classes in different locations around the country. Kane is best known for his Folk Art Archive, an ongoing collaboration with Jeremy Deller, as well as projects in a diversity of spaces from Stringfellows Nightclub to the Val D'Oro fish and chip bar in Glasgow. Life Class is Artangel’s first foray into daytime TV.

May 2… The beginning of the summer season of RONI HORN’S VATNASAFN / LIBRARY OF WATER in the coastal town of Stykkishólmur in Iceland. Acclaimed Canadian poet ANNE CARSON will be this year’s writer in residence and will work on a new version of Prometheus with its fiery ending…

June 2009… The premiere in London of American sculptor CHARLES LEDRAY’s installation of very small hand-tailored sculptures – immaculately stitched and detailed objects. LeDray has a growing number of admirers for his disarmingly diminutive and obsessive work and his Artangel commission, developed over the past 3 years, is his first major project outside the USA. 12 September 2009… 1000 minutes of JEM FINER’s Longplayer played live at The Roundhouse in London by a specially trained ensemble in real time on a mass of Tibetan singing bowls, tuned to different pitches. Longplayer was devised to play continuously and without repetition from 31 December 1999 to 31 December 2999, and is the core element of an installation situated in East London’s Trinity Buoy Wharf.

Through 2008, tens of thousands of people experienced a surprising sequence of ArtAngel commissions.

ROGER HIORNS’ SEIZURE was a startling transformation of a south London flat, the walls, ceiling and floor overwhelmed by a menacing blue crystal growth. CATHERINE YASS’s large-scale multi-screen installation HIGH WIRE awed visitors with Didier Pasquette’s failed attempt to walk the wire ninety metres above the ground at Glasgow’s Red Roads. In her online film vignettes – CRISIS IN THE CREDIT SYSTEM – emerging artist MELANIE GILLIGAN surprised online viewers with her prescient take on a system spiralling out of control.

Earlier in 2008, international composer and theatre director HEINER GOEBBELS’ Stifter’s Dinge enthralled audiences with an extraordinary sculptural installation of self-playing grand pianos, trees, rain and a toxic lagoon bubbling away as if playing to the end of time…

PhotoCairo4: THE LONG SHORTCUT
An international visual arts project in Downtown Cairo featuring a series of exhibitions, screenings, presentations, residencies, a workshop and a temporary publishing house

PhotoCairo4: THE LONG SHORTCUT explores the dynamics between informal and official modes of operation that continue to shape the social reality in this region and beyond. One main site is Cairo itself: a quintessential example of an explosive mega city situated in a state characterized by a mode of perpetual crisis. Under these conditions one can think of informal structures and strategies of existence as creatively pragmatic answers that are subversive, by definition rather than design. On the one hand, the programs examine transformations in images of officialdom and the rhetoric of power through media representations, while remaining interested in poetic accounts of daily life, personal narratives and creative strategies employed by individuals faced with the reality of navigating constantly mutating hybrid structures.

PhotoCairo4: The Long Shortcut is curated by Aleya Hamza and Edit Molnar
