Akiyuki Ina: Emitting
Evanescent Beauty
Saturday March 20. 7 – 10PM
Open Source Gallery
Due to the mortgage crisis
of 2007, there is a preponderance of
buildings whose construction has been indefinitely
halted. Inspired by
these ghostly structures, Ina has created
an installation at OPEN
SOURCE GALLERY that communicates his admiration
for the strange beauty
and evanescent nature of this unfolding process.
These works utilize
elements such as safety net coverings and
lighted panels to recreate
the fleeting clarity of these abandoned “monuments”.
Three dimension
works will be exhibited along with documentary
photographs taken from
2008 to the present. visit: www.open-source-gallery.org

Architextures: Handmade
Photo Collages by Adrienne Moumin
February 3 through March 1, 2010
Art at First - Great Hall of First Presbyterian
Church
Adrienne Moumin will
be exhibiting her handmade gelatin silver
photo collages in “Architextures,”
at The Great Hall of First Presbyterian Church,
5th Avenue at 11th Street, New York, NY 10011.
The show runs from February 3 through March
1, 2010. An opening reception will take place
on Sunday, February 14 from 12:00 to 2:00PM,
and an artist’s talk with wine &
cheese will be held on Thursday, February
11, at 6:30PM. Gallery Hours are Mondays 11-2,
Wednesdays 11-1, and Fridays 12:30-4. This
is Moumin's first New York solo exhibit. While
at first the handmade photo collages may appear
to be digital montages, closer inspection
reveals the texture and layering inherent
in the handmade pieces. Each collage represents
a memory or impression of an architectural
landmark or landscape as Moumin experiences
it. She has been working in this vein since
2003, and has expanded her repertoire to include
application of glass and crystal elements,
complicated layering, using the paper’s
natural curves for 3-D effects, and use of
inkjet prints.
Admission free. For more information please
contact adrienne@picturexhibit.com, and her
collages and other photo-based artwork may
be seen at www.picturexhibit.com .

Nexus
New York: Latin/American Artists in the Modern
Metropolis
Saturday, October 17, 2009
Sunday, February 28, 2010
El Museo del Barrio
This landmark exhibition
examines pioneering Caribbean and Latin American
artists who lived in New York City before
World War II and shaped the American avant-garde.
Between 1900 and 1942, New
York City was the site of extraordinary creative
exchange where artists could share ideas in
a global context. The swiftly-changing urban
landscape before and between the World Wars
inspired the erosion of artistic boundaries
and fostered a new climate of modernist experimentation.
Nexus New York focuses on key artists from
the Caribbe an and Latin America who entered
into dynamic cultural and social dialogues
with the American-based avant-garde and participated
in the development of a new modern discourse.
Curated by Deborah Cullen, Director of Curatorial
Programs, El Museo del Barrio.

Christina Mazzalupo:
Stomachache
February 11 – March 13, 2010
Opening: Thursday, February 11, 6-8pm
Mixed Greens
Mixed Greens is pleased
to present Christina Mazzalupo’s fourth
solo exhibition with the gallery. Stomachache
is a multimedia exhibition quantifying and
categorizing the eight weeks leading up to
her 40th birthday.
Over the past six years,
various alternative healthcare practitioners
have requested Mazzalupo keep daily journals
listing food intake and physical symptoms.
This tracking had mixed results: some relationships
offered clarity while others produced only
confusion.
During the summer of 2009,
a few months before her 40th birthday, Mazzalupo
decided to once again record her daily routines.
This time, however, she expanded her subject
matter to include emotions experienced, medications
and supplements taken, fears, and travels.
She also noted various decisions and significant
topics that arose.
For the show, the results
of her extensive, pseudoscientific data collection
are translated into eight drawings—one
to represent each week. These are accompanied
by interpretive oil paintings and sketches,
along with a video of over one hundred words
associated with the endeavor. Charts from
the collected data (pie and others) exist
as unique clay sculptures.
The objective of the project was to determine
whether looking so scrupulously at the minutia
in her life would provide a logical method
of problem solving or become the source of
greater disorder. As Mazzalupo puts it, “we
often feel a compulsion to plunge into our
habits and let the chatter of our minds run
wild, to dissect and reassemble in order to
figure it all out.” Mazzalupo engages
and chronicles this running wild and all of
its by-products. The result is a darkly comic
look at the act of paying attention.
Free to the public.
