Legendary artist Gronk stages his first solo museum exhibition in Los Angeles

Legendary artist Gronk stages his first solo museum exhibition in Los Angeles in more than three decades at the Craft & Folk Art Museum.

The Craft & Folk Art Museum (CAFAM) presents Gronk’s Theater of Paint the first solo museum exhibition in Los Angeles of legendary artist Gronk in more than three decades. Curated by CAFAM Exhibitions Curator Holly Jerger in close collaboration with the artist, the exhibition delves into Gronk’s extensive work in theatrical set design, exemplified by a newly commissioned site-specific theater installation in CAFAM’s third floor gallery. The exhibition also includes site-specific paintings, original set pieces, artist drawings, photographs, and ephemera documenting his past productions, beginning with East L.A. multimedia art collective ASCO up to his recent opera productions with director Peter Sellars. CAFAM members will be invited to a special, behind-the-scenes tour to see Gronk installing his exhibition on May 19 and 24 from 1:00 – 3:00 p.m. Gronk’s Theater of Paint is on view from May 29 – September 4, 2016.


“Gronk is a seminal Los Angeles artist, long overdue for a museum exhibition in this city. We are thrilled to recognize his work and shine light on his unique contributions to the world of theater and set design, both here in Los Angeles and worldwide,” says CAFAM Executive Director Suzanne Isken.


“Set design is a significant component of Gronk’s multi-faceted practice, and this exhibition is an important opportunity to explore that aspect of his work more fully,” says curator Holly Jerger. “Gronk shares CAFAM’s commitment to making, collaboration, and public interaction, and this presentation encompasses all those elements.”


Though he is known mostly as a painter and muralist, theatricality and collaboration are consistent hallmarks of Gronk’s artistic practice, demonstrated in his early experimental performances with queer artists Mundo Meza and Cyclona, as well as through ASCO’s iconic public art, performance, and multimedia works. In the early 1980s, Gronk turned his attention to painting, eventually extending it towards creating scenic design for local theatrical productions with Los Angeles Theatre Center, East West Players, LA Opera, and Cornerstone Theater Company, among others. Over the last decade, Gronk has partnered with experimental opera director Peter Sellars to realize monumental backdrops and settings for the operas Ainadamar (2005), Griselda (2011), and most recently for the international presentation of The Indian Queen (2013).


Gronk’s installation at CAFAM merges his love of the low-budget aesthetic of B-movies with the grandeur of opera. Gronk has always drawn parallels between opera and B-movies, as both genres share archetypal characters, tragic themes, and overstated performances. In conceiving Gronk’s Theater of Paint, Gronk envisioned the installation as the theater set for an imaginary opera production based on a book of absurdist, science fiction poetry called Tomorrow You’ll Be One of Us (2013). Written by Gail Wronsky and Chuck Rosenthal, the book contains poems constructed from sci-fi and horror B-movie dialogue and was illustrated by Gronk.


As Gronk subverts the traditional parameters of theater by elevating lowbrow pop culture to a grand stage, for the CAFAM exhibition he also breaks the “fifth wall” of the theater by allowing the audience to take action. Visitors are invited to interact with the theater set using Gronk’s handmade props, their participation marking the completion of the installation. Gronk has also developed a soundtrack to envelop the visitor experience.


“The exciting part that will pull this show together is that experience of being in a different environment and creating,” says Gronk. “Each time I have done an on-site piece inside of a museum situation, each ones dynamics are so different. The room, the shape, the way the light comes in plays into the direction the piece will go. That’s one of the things I don’t have a pre-plan or sketch of, I want to experience the space and let it inform me.”


The space will also provide a dynamic setting for performances and public programs throughout the course of the exhibition, including a prop making workshop with Invertigo Dance Theatre, B-movie screenings with Gronk and writer Marisela Norte, science fiction poetry readings, and artist-led gallery walkthroughs.


GRONK’S THEATER OF PAINT: May 29 – September 4, 2016.

Truth Entertainment acquires film rights to war novel Ruby’s Prayer

 


Truth Entertainment acquires film rights to war novel Ruby’s Prayer by author Ronald H. Keyser.


Ruby's Prayer by author Ronald H. Keyser

Ruby’s Prayer by author Ronald H. Keyser


Continuing to expand its portfolio of major dramas based on real-life events and fictional works, Truth Entertainment, the independent film production company responsible for the Academy Award® winning film Dallas Buyers Club, has secured international rights to Ruby’s Prayer, Ronald H. Keyser’s recently released historical novel about a family’s epic struggle to fulfill a dying mother’s wish while living out the final days of the Wild West in a post-Civil War America.


Both Joe Newcomb, chairman and CEO of Truth Entertainment, and Keyser will serve as executive producers on the project. They are currently out to screenwriters to pen the script. As part of the deal, Truth will also own the international rights to Keyser’s next work- a fictional account of a real-life Texan family known for their fame and fortune. This news comes on the heels of Truth recently announcing that they are developing and producing the feature film The Nobistor Affair.


Published by Defiance Press, Ruby’s Prayer is the story of the Texas-based Wallace family during the spring of 1880, whom are still recovering from the deep wounds of the Civil War, reveling in the final days of the Wild West and navigating through the birth of the Industrial Age. Jim Wallace is the honest yet shrewd father, seeking to prepare his land to accommodate the impending changes due to the expanding railroads. Badly wounded during the Civil War and dealing with the death of his wife, Jim is also managing an old-standing grudge with another local and highly-influential rancher. Tom Wallace is the eldest son, a battered soul recently released from Texas State Prison, whom must adjust to his new-found freedom, all while dealing with the guilt of his mother’s death, coming to terms with his brother’s role in sending him to prison and rekindling a romance with his childhood sweetheart. Buddy Wallace, the youngest son, is solidly entrenched within the local, political and industrial powers as the young and ambitious sheriff. He, however wants a better life; one he is willing to get at any cost. Full of colorful characters both likable and despicable, Ruby’s Prayer is about second chances, family, sacrifice and hardship.


“Ruby’s Prayer is full of excitement, drama and romance and I couldn’t put it down when I read it,” said Newcomb. “Right away I knew this would be the next project for Truth Entertainment. We’re thrilled to be working with Ronald to bring his powerful novel to the big screen.”


“I’m grateful and excited for Ruby’s Prayer to be in the capable hands of Joe Newcomb and Truth Entertainment,” said Keyser. “I’ve always believed the story was meant to be seen on the big screen and I can’t wait to watch Joe and Truth bring the novel to life.”


Ronald H. Keyser, born in Marshall, Texas, attended the University of Houston where he studied mechanical engineering. After only two semesters, he decided to leave school and join the workforce as a bartender. After falling in love with the profession, Keyser made the night club industry a life long career. Today, he is the general manager of one of Houston’s most well known nightclubs. However, even with his success, Keyser always yearned to write. He told his wife, Lori, he had an idea about a novel and Lori told him to write it down. That story would ultimately become Ruby’s Prayer. Keyser is currently working on his second novel, a fictional account of a prosperous real-life Texas family.


Joe Newcomb is chairman and CEO of Truth Entertainment, which is currently filming The Tribes of Palos Verdes with Jennifer Garner and is in post-production on Stealing Cars with William H. Macy and Felicity Huffman. Truth recently announced it is developing and producing The Nobistor Affair, the true story of a top-secret mission to overthrow the Ghana government with Newcomb acting as producer.

New York exhibits. Interior Space by Enrico Castellani at Dominique Lévy

New York exhibits. Interior Space by Enrico Castellani at Dominique Lévy on April 7, 2016.

Dominique Lévy is pleased to announce its first New York solo exhibition by celebrated Italian artist Enrico Castellani (b. 1930, Castelmassa), with whom the gallery has worked since its inception in 2012. Opening April 7, 2016, Enrico Castellani: Interior Spacebrings together recent as well as historical works by the artist, many of which are presented in New York for the first time. Exploring the ways in which painting can occupy three-dimensional space, Castellani’s art presents a complete amalgamation of form and concept: in the artist’s words, a “total interior space, lacking contradictions.”

A selection of the artist’s large-scale shaped relief canvases, Superfici bianchi (White Surfaces), are presented here in juxtaposition with recent angular metallic paintings titledBiangolare cromato (Bi-angular Chrome) and Angolare cromato  (Angular Chrome), the latter of which are installed by the artist in corners. These white and metallic works are placed in dialogue with one another, highlighting the ambient light and shadow effects that occur as Castellani’s paintings activate the architectural spaces in which they are situated. Three-dimensional paintings are complemented by the recent sculpture Spartito, in which Castellani references a seminal work made in 1969 by bolting hundreds of sheets of paper together in a biomorphic minimalist form. Punctuating the monochromatic white and silver artworks on view are two early red shaped canvases: Superficie rossa n. 8 (1966) and Superficie angolare rossa(1961), pivotal efforts that decidedly announced Castellani’s bold break with the trajectory of painting by rupturing the conventional rectangular or square format.


Enrico Castellani: Interior Space, which was previously on view at the gallery’s London location, will be on view in New York through May 21st. The exhibition is accompanied by a comprehensive book featuring a newly commissioned essay by Angela Vettese, former President of the International Jury of the Venice Biennale and director of the graduate program at the Università Iuav di Venezia. This publication also includes a newly revised translation of a rare interview between Castellani and Hans Ulrich Obrist from 2009.

Brockton Events. The 2nd Annual South Shore Indie Music Festival

Brockton Events. The 2nd Annual South Shore Indie Music Festival


What Makes This Music Festival Unique  (aside from plenty of free parking.)


The South Shore Indie Music Festival is an annual, curated music festival that explores how #Art Sustains Us. Come experience a unique blend of musicians chosen for their craft and breadth of musical styles and creative processes. For one day they will share a stage. Genres will collide; voices will blend; and something new will be experienced in the intimate and natural environment of Fuller Craft Museum. The festival began last year as a response to the emergence of local talent that was writing and performing edgy, original music.  Our goal then was to showcase that local talent, and that legacy is reflected in the number of musicians in our line up who are based south of Boston.


This is a 3-dimensional event—music meets craft meets nature—all working together to provide a robust, nuanced, and enjoyable event. Musicians will not only give amazing performances throughout the day, but also give us insight into the craft behind their music through brief post show interviews in our artKitchen Café. The Museum will have 6 exhibitions on view celebrating contemporary craft.  For example “CounterCraft: Voice of the Indie Craft Movement”; “The Faces of Politics: In/Tolerance”; and “Paper and Blade: Modern Paper Cutting” are just a few of the craft exhibitions on view with artwork to challenge the eye and the mind. Throughout the day there will be hands-on craft activities for adults and children, including a large interactive sculpture designed by artist Duken Delpe. While people are outside Fuller Craft Museum enjoying the beautiful natural environment, scenic views, and outdoor sculpture—inside there is sustainable programming in line with our theme #ArtSustainsUs: brief talks, films, information, and demos provided by Project Green Schools, Equal Exchange, and Solar City (a full schedule or sustainability programming to be posted on the website).


Brockton Events. Two Music Stages, One Designed by Artist Duken Delpe.

The live music acts are programmed on two separate stages. The main stage is behind the Museum and this year is will be designed by a Brockton-based artist named Duken Delpe (read more on the artist below), who will transform the stage into one awe inspiring, interactive sculpture crafted entirely out of recycled metal. Each audience member can participate in the creation of the piece by adding pieces of recycled metal to the sculpture during the musical performances.  The sculpture/stage will be 32 feet across and 12 feet high and will serve as a community sculpture to commemorate the day’s festivities.


The second stage is the heart of the Museum on the courtyard with the backdrop of Porter’s Pond and Lew Sewell’s found object sculpture entitled “Duck.” More acoustic groups will perform on the patio stage a.k.a. the Blue Hills Brewery Craft Beer Garden.

“It was interesting because they are very restrictive. In a totally different way to the 18th-century stuff was.

JJ PEET receives Rose Art Museum Perlmutter Award

The Rose Art Museum is pleased to announce that JJ PEET is the recipient of the 2016 Ruth Ann and Nathan Perlmutter Artist-in-Residence Award.  The New York-based PEET is a celebrated ceramicist who works in a range of media, including installation, video, painting, and sculpture. PEET’s multi-faceted residency will take place at pop-up locations across the Brandeis campus, and at the Rose Art Museum’s satellite gallery Rosebud, this April and May.

Established through the generosity of Ruth Ann Perlmutter and given in recognition of an emerging artist’s achievement, the Perlmutter Award allows the museum to bring artists on the cusp of national and international acclaim to Brandeis. The Perlmutter Award supports PEET’s exhibition series at Rosebud, as well as his residency on campus and engagement with Brandeis students and the broader academic community.


“We thank Ruth Ann Perlmutter for her generous support of the Rose and for enabling us to bring JJ PEET to Brandeis this spring,” said Chris Bedford, the Henry and Lois Foster Director of the Rose. “The Perlmutter Award allows the Rose to continue to promote and explore the work of artists poised to have a major impact on their field.  JJ’s residency will create a unique opportunity for broad interaction between art, art-making, and the community.”


PEET will be at Brandeis during the Leonard Bernstein Festival of the Creative Arts, April 15-17, engaging the community in FIELD_WORK, a series of performative actions featuring pop-up video installations and artist interactions on campus and at the Rosebud Gallery in downtown Waltham.  As part of FIELD_WORK, PEET will bring an iteration of his project BARTER_STATION to the Rose Art Museum on Friday, April 15, from 6-8pm. In this particular rendition of BARTER_STATION, PEET invites participants to barter for a PROXY_Cupin exchange for their assistance or participation in the realization of the final work.


PEET’s new and existing work will be on view at Rosebud, April 15 – June 5. During the FIELD_WORK portion of the residency, Rosebud will exhibit Pysche_UP Animation, a 20-minute video projection that serves as a 10-year archive of every stop-motion image the artist has created, strung together in a lush, hallucinatory stream.  PEET’s Perlmutter residency will culminate with an exhibition at the gallery of new work created during his time on campus.


ABOUT THE PERLMUTTER AWARD:


The Perlmutter Award is part of the Rose’s longstanding tradition of promoting young artists. Honorees include Roxy Paine (2002), Barry McGee (2004), Xavier Veilhan (2005), Dana Schutz (2006), Clare Rojas (2007), Alexis Rockman (2008), Michael Dowling (2009-10), Sam Jury (2011) and Dor Guez (2012), Mika Rottenberg (2013-2014), and Mary Weatherford (2015).


Nathan Perlmutter served as national director of the Anti-Defamation League for eight years. Along with his wife, Ruth Ann, he championed the interfaith movement and sought to empower Jews, blacks and other minorities. He received the Presidential Medal of Freedom at the White House in 1987, shortly before his death. He was a vice president at Brandeis from 1969-73. Ruth Ann, who has degrees from the University of Denver and Wayne State University, is a noted sculptor and painter.


ABOUT JJ PEET:


JJ PEET (American, born 1973 in Minnesota) works across different media and uses found materials to make art through which he reflects upon contemporary life, his place in the world, and his relationship to others. He incorporates such unlikely items as mouth guards, eyebrow hair, and socks into his sculptural assemblages, and his exhibitions feature paintings, mixed-media drawings, films, installations, and ceramics. The artist is especially drawn to ceramics, which he considers the most direct form of art making. PEET describes molding clay as a process that closely connects “brain to hand to object,” and sees each completed piece as a stand-in for himself. Some of his handmade cups are titled PROXY, alerting those who drink from them that they are holding a small piece of the artist himself.


PEET received a BFA from the University of Minnesota in 1999 and an MFA from Yale University School of Art in 2006. PEET has had solo exhibitions at The Contemporary Austin, Austin, TX; Gallery Diet, Miami, FL; On Stellar Rays, New York, NY; and Redling Fine Arts, Los Angeles, CA.


Recent group exhibitions include Richard Shaw and JJ PEET, Harvey / Meadows Gallery, Aspen, CO, 2016; Satan Ceramics, Ever Gold Gallery, San Francisco, CA, 2016; Live in the layers…not on the litter, Ashley Berlin, Berlin, Germany, 2015; FIELD EFFECTS, Le Cap, Arles, France, 2015; VESSELS, Blackston, New York, NY, 2015; Xenia, curated by Robert Rhee, Poker Night, Seattle, WA, 2015; Satan Ceramics, Tom Sachs, JJ PEET, Mary Frey and Pat McCarthy, Salon 94 Freemans, New York, NY, 2014; In Proximity, JJ PEET and Daniel Peet, Gallery Diet, Miami, FL, 2013; In Praise of Chance and Failure, Family Business, New York, NY, 2013; and Regis 10th Anniversary Alumni Exhibition, Quarter Gallery, Minneapolis, MN, 2013.  The artist’s work has received reviews in Art in America, Artforum.com, Bomb, Frieze, Th e Last Magazine, and The New Yorker.


ABOUT THE ROSE ART MUSEUM AT BRANDEIS UNIVERSITY:


Founded in 1961, the Rose Art Museum’s permanent collection of postwar and contemporary art is unequalled in New England and is among the best at any university art museum in the United States. Major paintings by Willem de Kooning, Jasper Johns, Roy Lichtenstein, Helen Frankenthaler, and Andy Warhol anchor the collection, and recently acquired works by Mark Bradford, Al Loving, Jack Whitten, and Charline von Heyl build upon this strength while reflecting the museum’s commitment to works of both artistic importance and social relevance. Through its collection, exhibitions, and programs, the Rose works to affirm and advance the values of global diversity, freedom of expression, and social justice that are hallmarks of Brandeis University.


Located on Brandeis University’s campus at 415 South Street, Waltham, MA, the museum is free and open to the public Wednesday through Sunday, noon – 5 PM, with extended hours from noon – 7 PM on Friday and Saturday.


ABOUT ROSEBUD:


Rosebud aims to activate public engagement with contemporary art through curated exhibitions and programs that revive underutilized properties in the city of Waltham. The project supports the city’s long-term goals for economic growth and cultural vibrancy by attracting new visitors to the neighborhood and inspiring opportunities for partnerships with local businesses and arts-related organizations.


In addition to increasing off-campus awareness of the Rose and expanding our audience, the goal is for Rosebud to serve as a hub from which new ideas might radiate and benefit the people of this community. Rose curatorial interns and the Student Committee of the Rose Art Museum (SCRAM) will be offered the opportunity to design complementary programs and activities for their fellow students and the public.
