Major Exhibition of Impressionist Paintings by
Gustave Caillebotte
March 27 – July 5, 2009
Brooklyn Museum

The first major showing of the work of the French Impressionist Gustave Caillebotte (1848-1894) to be presented in New York in more than thirty years will be on view at the Brooklyn Museum March 27 through July 5, 2009. In 1977, the Museum was a venue for the landmark exhibition that introduced the artist to the American public.

Gustave Caillebotte: Impressionist Paintings from Paris to the Sea presents the artist's well-known Parisian cityscapes alongside his painted scenes of outdoor life on the coast of Normandy and in the rural villages of Yerres and Petit Gennevilliers, where he and his family maintained estates. The exhibition will explore for the first time how these paintings express Caillebotte's passion for subjects in which water plays a central role--as an enigmatic magical element reflecting its surroundings; as an essential atmospheric ingredient; and as a scene for sporting activities. Caillebotte approached his motifs with the trained eye and hand of an accomplished rower, yachtsman, and engineer.

Light of the Sufis: The Mystical Arts of Islam
June 5 through September 6, 2009
Brooklyn Museum

Light of the Sufis: The Mystical Arts of Islam features twenty-four objects from the Brooklyn Museum, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, and private collections that are related to a mystical form of Islam known as Sufism. This special installation will be on view in the Brooklyn Museum's Islamic galleries from June 5 through September 6, 2009.
While diverse Muslim sects and Islamic cultures do not necessarily share a singular view or practice of Islam, the mystical and romantic nature of Sufism tends to have a more universal appeal to Muslims and non-Muslims alike. This exhibition focuses on some of the most important Sufi ideas and practices that found expression through the arts of the Islamic world, beginning with light, which symbolizes both God and enlightenment. The works displayed represent both literal and figural reflections of important mystical themes, including furnishings used for lighting; representations and attributes of Sufi mystics; illustrated, illuminated, and laser-etched manuscripts of Sufi poetry; and traditional and contemporary works inspired by Sufi principles. The range of chronology, cultures, and media of the works exhibited reflects the wide appeal and impact of Sufism on the arts from the early period to the present day.

The Chelsea Art Museum Presents
Michael Alan's Draw-A-Thon Theater & Exhibition
Friday, July 19, 2009 7pm-12am
The Chelsea Art Museum

Calling all artists and open minded viewers to a five hour long, monumental and ground breaking experience! From 7pm-12am, the Chelsea Art Museum's main floor will be filled with performers, costumes, theater and tons of empty space for new work to be created by hundreds of artists. All artists are summoned to make art in the museum: all mediums and styles. Come be one, come make history for the first show in a museum where hundreds of artists gather and make work inspired by theater.

The performance - 'The Factory'- a 5 hour long satire with 2o or more performers. They will build an environment under slave, sweatshop management inside the museum. The factory is controlled by paint splattered floor managers along with Michael Alan's mother, who will dictate and choreograph a repetitious and senseless building of sculptures, costumes, boxes and paper piles: the assembly line of the robotic art slaves.

Live punk, experimental, folk and classic rock and roll will be playing live from a truck that will be driven into the building. This revolutionary performance will be open to all artists to come and interpret through any creative process. The space will be cleared out and taken over by hundreds of artists making new work in the Chelsea Art museum.

This event will be accompanied by the music of Epileptic Peat: an 8-string bass playing wonder, The Bones of Davey Jones: a one man army of folk and bluegrass, House of Waters: a trio emitting the sounds of folk and afro-beat, plus many more to come...

Tickets are $17 in advance & $20 at the door

Open Source Gallery

More monsters are crawling out from under the beds of New York City
schoolchildren and onto the streets of Brooklyn this summer!
These creatures are elements of children’s imaginations and
reflections of what they find both powerful and frightening. As
neighborhood murals, they are transformed into local guardians. They
are very much a commentary on our collective strengths and fears.

Site-specific Installation by Sun K. Kwak
March 27 through July 5, 2009
The Brooklyn Museum

Korean-born, Brooklyn-based artist Sun K. Kwak will create a site-specific work composed of approximately three miles of black masking tape in the fifth-floor Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Gallery of the Brooklyn Museum. Sun K. Kwak: Enfolding 280 Hours will be on view March 27 through July 5, 2009. The mural-like piece will be affixed to the walls and four pillars in the Rotunda.

The exhibition's title Enfolding 280 Hours, references the number of hours that the artist estimates that it will take her and her assistants to install the piece in the Brooklyn Museum gallery. Work on the installation will begin in early February, and Museum visitors will be able to view the work in progress. At the end of the Brooklyn presentation, the masking tape will be peeled off the columns and walls and discarded, following photographic documentation of the installation.

Masking tape, a medium that Kwak pioneered, has become her signature form of expression. Having discovered that drawing with masking tape expresses an immediacy she missed in painting, Kwak continues to challenge perceptions of familiar surroundings through this technique, which for her is both meditative and performance.

Kwak's site-specific installations, which create dialogues with the architecture that houses them, may be found in public and private spaces, among them a major public art project completed in 2007 that is a permanent feature in the Samsung Life Building lobby in Seoul, Korea. Smaller masking-tape-on-panel works are in private collections throughout the United States. Recently Sun K. Kwak created another masking-tape installation at the Queens Museum of Art satellite galleries at the Bulova Corporate Center titled Time and Space III: Tidal Wave, which was inspired by the fountain, streams and waterfall in the building's concourse.
