LONDON.- Michael Werner Gallery, London will present Everyone is an Artist, an exhibition of major works by three titans of 20th century art, Joseph Beuys (b. 1921 in Krefeld, Germany, d. 1986 in Düsseldorf), Marcel Broodthaers (b. 1924 in Brussels, d. 1976 in Cologne), and James Lee Byars (b. 1932 in Detroit, d. 1997 in Cairo). Contemporaries and collaborators, Beuys, Broodthaers, and Byars adhered to a similar broad set of ideas: art cannot be separated from life, an object can create narrative, and art is activated by the imagination of the viewer. Everyone is an Artist charts and interweaves the oeuvres of these three highly influential artists as they reshaped how art was created and perceived in the 20th and 21st centuries.

BRUSSELS.- Over the course of the past five decades, Ana Jotta (1946, Lisbon, Portugal) has developed a deeply personal artistic vocabulary that rejects and even antagonizes all forms of classification and identification. Instead of any recognizable style, she takes from, subverts, and trespasses across various aesthetic categories, making a world that exists only on her own terms. Instead of attempting to encompass Jotta’s entire practice, the exhibition narrows its focus around a specific aspect of her work: the expanded sense she brings to the act of drawing.

Pasadena, CA

PASADENA, CA.- The New York Times in reporting her death wrote “…Her work is marked by the gravity, discretion, and wit of a survivor. She had a special feeling for paper, for the weight of communication it can bear and the weight of history that settles so easily on its edges and surfaces. She described herself as a pacifist and wanted her quietly intense work to convince others of the need to listen. She used letters as symbols of memory and birds as symbols of vulnerability and the need for song…"

In 2017, the portrait, attributed to Leonardo da Vinci, sold for a record £360m and vanished. Now, it is claimed, it will reappear as the star exhibit in a Saudi branch of the Louvre

<First published online in the New York Times on February 3, 2016>. In Hans Christian Andersen’s “The Most Incredible Thing” (1870), the usually impressive choreographer Justin Peck has chosen a story whose details he can’t tell clearly and whose overall point he makes hackneyed. Ingenuity shines forth here and there; and Mr. Peck occasionally reveals new aspects of skill. But this 43-minute piece proves a damp squib. Its many dances seem not central but peripheral.

PARIS.- In Inner Dialogue, Leidy Churchman’s first show at Galerie Chantal Crousel, images from previous exhibitions come back around amid new narratives, vantages, and technologies. Taken together, the paintings index the everyday in order to transcend it, making the real spiritual, the material magical, and showing us what it’s like to see, feel, and live in this particular moment. Here, the potent energy of an idea becomes an animal, a sign becomes a refuge, a feeling state a shade of blue, a credit card a meditation on death and transformation; everyday sights and sensations are first themselves and then so much more than themselves. With deft and evocative brushwork, Churchman works with figuration as a means to abstract—to help us to see beyond what we see—translating Buddhist concepts, symbols, and stories into familiar and unfamiliar compositions. In this way, paint becomes a spiritual medium, a mechanism to mediate spirit, flow, birth, death, and life continuously into and out of the frame.

In their collaborations, Magdalena Mitterhofer and Shade Théret operate at the interface of theater, film, performance, and visual art. DUSSELDORF.- The Julia Stoschek Foundation will present Gaia’s Corner (2024), a new site specific work by Magdalena Mitterhofer and Shade Théret. The performance will take place by the water feature in front of the main entrance of K20 on Düsseldorf’s Grabbeplatz, accompanied by live music. Gaia’s Corner refers to the myth of the Greek goddess Gaia, the mother of all life, and to the question of how architectural spaces and urban structures influence our perception of nature and artificiality.
