Vanderbilt Fine Arts Gallery, Nashville

The Vanderbilt Fine Arts Gallery in Nashville has a new home, the newly renovated and expanded historic Cohen Memorial Hall.
In 2004 I made the exhibition Far from the sea: October Foundation 1998 – 2003 (25 March – 20 May 2004) at the Vanderbilt Fine Arts Gallery (see my post on 10 March 2009).

Among other exhibitions there was Chris Drury – Inside out, Outside in at the gallery in 2006. Related to this exhibition Chris Drury made the permanent installation Star Chamber at the grounds of the Dyer Observatorium, Vanderbilt University, Nashville (see: www.vanderbilt.edu/gallery/events.html).

The Vanderbilt University Fine Arts Gallery has a collection of prints published by October Foundation. And an important collection of polaroid photograhs by Andy Warhol.

A recent survey of the collection – from Old Master paintings and drawings from the Renaissance, 17th and 19th Century to Modern Art with artists like Robert Rauschenberg and John Chamberlain – is now to be seen in the exhibition Eye & Mind; A Legacy of Art Collecting at Vanderbilt University (1 October – 17 December 2009)

Tom Benson – Philadelphia exhibition

Tom Benson – Paintings*

10 October – 30 November 2009

*pink, indigo, black, yellow...

Larry Becker Contemporary Art

43 North Second Street

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19106

USA

The colors, shades, and halftone prints that make up Tom Benson’s modestly scaled, mostly monochromatic paintings are so appealing - even magnetic - that it’s easy to appreciate them simply for that. The British artist’s scarlet, lemon yellow, black, indigo, pale pink, and white paintings and black-and-white halftone prints in ink and paint seem to hover in the spartan whiteness of Larry Becker Contemporary Art.

But Benson’s paintings are also intended to prompt a deeper examination of themselves, such as the ways in which his works are affected by changing light conditions; their paint application; the density of pigment (or pigments) in a particular hue; and the nature of the work’s support (Benson paints on aluminum panels, aluminum-and-mahogany panels, and acetate). Look carefully, and the paintings change according to your changing perception of them.

The gallery has three small books on hand that were published to accompany past Benson exhibitions; they explain his choices and uses of various pigments, and it’s well worth asking to look at them for their detailed explanation of his practice. Then again, the works speak quite eloquently for themselves.

Rémy Zaugg

The first time I saw the work of Rémy Zaugg was his exhibition A Sheet of Paper at the Van Abbemuseum, Eindhoven, organized by Rudi Fuchs in 1984 (with a beautiful catalogue designed by Walter Nikkels). After inviting him in 1996 for the project and exhibition Travaux Publics [Public Works] I met him during the installation of his exhibition The Work's Unfolding at the Kröller-Müller Museum, Otterlo, in 1996 to talk about his work and a print for this project.

Rémy Zaugg was known, beside his paintings and prints, for his works in public space. He worked in collaboration with the architects Herzog & de Meuron (who designed and renovated the Bankside Power Station into Tate Modern, London). Rémy Zaugg curated and installed the exhibition Herzog & de Meuron at the Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris, 1995 and the architects built his studio in Pfastatt, France.

Rémy Zaugg died in 2005.

Small Publishers Fair London 2009

This years Small Publishers Fair in Conway Hall, Red Lion Square, London, was busier then ever. More participants and a large crowd of visitors. We had a nice time with many old friends and new visitors at my stall. We stayed with William Allen in London, who also had a table next to us, selling rare publications of Ian Hamilton Finlay, Richard Long and Fluxus material. Among the visitors were Ian Whittlesea, Tom Benson, Susan Krejzl, Philip Lumai, Harry Gilonis and Gladstone Thompson. Carol Robertson and Trevor Sutton came over and took us to dinner.

Andrew Ray bought a copy of Algonquin by Chris Drury and wrote a post about it on his blog Some Landscapes (he also wrote about The Hundred Thousand Places by Thomas A Clark in another recent post).

Laurie Clark had quite a few new publications of Moschatel Press, like an Orkney print and t-shirt, an enamel piece and the recent book of Thomas A Clark – The Hundred Thousand Places and A Model of Order, selected letters by Ian Hamilton Finlay (see my earlier posts about these publications).

Coracle was showing the recent publications Dirt by Les Coleman and a beautiful enamel Rosemary by Erica Van Horn. Colin Sackett had a new book by Janet Boulton: The Early Toys of Ian Hamilton Finlay and English Coloured Papers by Simon Cutts and Colin Sackett.

JCJ Vanderheyden

Flying back home from New York I took this photograph of the morning view from the airplane window. When I see images like this I always have to think of JCJ Vanderheyden, who used often photographs of these views of the sky and earth in his work.

Back home I found this invitation card of the exhibition of JCJ Vanderheyden which opened on 8 November 2009 at the Van Abbemuseum, Eindhoven (exhibition runs until 29 January 2010).

Karl Gartung & Laurie Clark – Speak

Among my visitors at the E|AB Fair were Robert Barry and Pétur Arason & Birta Gudjónsdóttir (from Reykjavik visiting the opening of the exhibition of Roni Horn on 6 November at the Whitney Museum), but also Karl Gartung of the Woodland Pattern Book Center in Milwaukee. He gave me this beautiful publication with a drawing by Laurie Clark on the cover.
