monumenta 2010 grand palais

paris 13 january - 21 february 2010

monumenta is one of the major international events in which an artist takes possession of an architectural space to develop his/her vision. The entire architecture of the building becomes a part of that artwork and creates dialogues between architecture, space and installation. Each year a leading international contemporary artist is invited by the french ministry of culture and communication to create an exceptional new work.

Georgia O’Keefe at the Whitney

You still have time to see it. One of the most compelling painters. Dump all you know from your brain and see the work in a new light.

rhythmic seasons : stella untalan

exhibition

January 8 – February 28, 2010

Stella Untalan’s minimalist drawings create unexpected landscapes. Each drawing is a combination of pastel, graphite, and charcoal with rhythmic marks of subtle hue, often escaping their self-imposed grid.

Singularity in relationship : Gigi Naftzger, paintings and drawings

exhibition

January 4 – February 27, 2010

One way to orient oneself is by quiet, sustained looking.

At first glance one sees color and lots of it. The color fields in Gigi Naftzger's paintings create a restfulness that encourages one to linger, to look longer.

The Titan and the Fireflies @2424 Jason Hackenwerth

The scale of the installation The Titan and the Fireflies is gigantic, especially when you consider the medium used to create the sculptures – balloons. After seeing this exhibition you'll never think of balloons in the same way. If you have always been amazed by clowns making dogs and hats out of balloons this will be enough to send you into anaphylactic shock.
