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 .

and ceramics, with a focus on tea wares, kogo
(incense holders) and mended ceramics that

DIALECTS v.3
Blanka Amezkua (Gallery 1)
Dario Solman (Gallery 2)
January 29-March 20, 2009
Bronx River Art Center
The Bronx River Art
Center (BRAC) is pleased to present the third
of its four-part exhibition series DIALECTS.
In order to further the definition of the
“international” and “New
York” artist, while simultaneously bridging
cultures and ideologies, BRAC has invited
artists who hail from countries that are currently
underrepresented in the global art scene as
a parallel response to the Bronx’s own
position within the New York art community.
DIALECTS v.3 presents new, site-specific works
by Blanka Amezkua (Bronx, NY) and Dario Solman*
(Croatia) and is curated by BRAC’s Gallery
Director & Curator José Ruiz. The
juxtaposition of these exhibitions heightens
the contrast between two different types of
artistic reasoning and process while further
focusing on the overlap of parallel concepts
and concerns.
On the surface, Blanka Amezkua’s installation,
Interminable recurrence in my mind, builds
upon the organic, abstract, and handmade to
mine colorful aesthetic tendencies that present
an alternate dimension to the works that she
is primarily known for: the hyper-depiction
of women as a character of power that evolve
out of the pages of Mexican comic books and
other popular paraphernalia. For this exhibition,
the Mexican-born, Bronx-based artist unveils
a new installation that highlights the various
aesthetic motifs that have constantly paralleled
her projects over the last fifteen years,
so that the exhibition process exposes the
often-private investigations that arise in
her studio. Organic patterns painted on the
wall, abstract crocheted compositions, and
an extensive suite of doodles done on mail
envelopes are just some of the elements of
her installation. Additionally, Amezkua plans
to work in BRAC’s gallery throughout
the course of the exhibition in order to continuously
shift an environment marked by fluidity, addition,
and change.

Patrick Pietropoli
Opening Reception at Axelle Fine Arts
March 18, 2010 6-9PM
Axelle Fine Arts
On Thursday, March
18, 2010 Axelle Fine Arts will showcase the
urban landscapes of Patrick Pietropoli which
features the shifting perspectives of Paris,
New York, Venice, and Florence. Pietropoli's
canvases are extremely detailed, large-scale
works that characterize the city as an entity.
Each painting utilizes color to convey tone,
meaning and mood where Pietropoli's devotion
to detail and lighting make his seemingly-still
images come alive. The gallery will also feature
a small collection of the artist's evocative
figure paintings. Pietropoli recently moved
from Paris to Brooklyn and will be attending
the opening reception.
The show will be on display from on March
18, 2010 through April 17, 2010 at Axelle
Fine Arts, 535 West 25th Street, NY, NY. The

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.
