ArtSlant08

ArtSlant presents Eye on the Prize, featuring the works of Julie Davidow, Yo Fukui, Adam Jahnke, and Michael Zelehoski. Chosen from a list of finalists juried by leading gallerists and art professionals over the course of 2009, these four artists are the winners of the 2009 Juried Showcase. They are getting some more deserved exposure with ArtSlant’s debut exhibition, curated especially for Fountain NY.

Rather than opting for a standard gallery exhibition, ArtSlant is taking this novel, alternative approach to highlight the artists who give us all something to talk and write about. Started in 2006, ArtSlant is known for its comprehensive online global network that includes interviews, reviews, exhibition listings, and the latest in contemporary art, artists and buzz.

Galerie Zeitgeist13

Created in August 2009 by Habib Diab (Art Collector & Chairman of Curart Association), Galerie Zeitgeist is an unconventional Parisian gallery. Mr Diab promotes essentially Contextual Art as Contemporary Art. Galerie Zeitgeist will exhibit three artists Zevs, Yevgeniy Fiks and Raphael Denis, as eyewitnesses of our period.

Zevs uses the original colors & re-paints corporate logos with excess drawing attention to, & visually disturbing the recognizable & omnipresent trademark. Yevgeniy Fiks paints his subjects; current members of the Communist Party USA, from life in trivial interiors of their New York offices. Raphael Denis realizes WTB – World Towers of Babel, a monumental sculpture that symbolizes the culture shock between two civilizations and precariousness of the world.

Pop Culture Wasteland...

Where do icons flee to rest? Where does truth dare lay its weary head? Why such a famine of yesteryears’ glamour? All the answers, and more, can be found on the walls at Greg Haberny’s installation: Pop Culture Wasteland!!! A ubiquitous plethora of fallen heroes, faded fads and historical lore; resurrected in a cauldron of sociopolitical mayhem. Come; relax with the penniless, the heartbroken and the disillusioned in a fun-filled installation of art and performance at Pop Culture Wasteland!

Transformazium is an active formation of artists, designers, inter-activists, fledgling farmers, visitors and residents of the 15104 area.100% of proceeds from the exhibition will benefit repairs to Transformazium’s headquarters.

CREON Gallery 06

A new venue, CREON Gallery for the last year has been staging a diverse mix of events in a Gramercy/Flatiron hideaway location. CREON’s founder and director Norm Hinsey’s approach is based on the Dali maxim that “So little of what could happen, does happen” and has established a serendipitous program that confounds expectations and operates outside the decorous rules of the artworld.

“A warmness of anomie filled me at the CREON Gallery”- Charlie Finch, Quoted on Artnet.

Holster Projects05

Holster Projects is pleased to present “I, You, He, She” in which artists Larry Achiampong, Mattia Biagi, and David Huglin examine concepts of identity and history; both personal and collective.

Biagi’s largescale installation “Freedom from Prison of Perception” was inspired by the artist’s own personal journey & also his interest in the universal human desire for the path to freedom, often thwarted by nothing but our own perceived restrictions. Achiampong questions a more collective journey, involving the social, political, and racial history of the US with the election of the first black president. As a natural enquirer into the mechanics of the world around him, Huglin’s “Cain” & “Redemption” are collections of honed meanderings, intrinsically connected to his Jewish heritage.

The Leo Kesting gallery offers the art viewing public an opportunity to see for thcoming talents in an intimate setting.

Nudashank04

Nudashank gallery is a new independent, artist-run gallery space in Baltimore, Maryland whose mission is to showcase young artists.

Located in the H&H building, the gallery hosts approximately 8 exhibitions per year, featuring group and 2-person shows.

Nudashank has earned tremendous praise and support from Baltimore’s art community. The gallery has received two grants since their inaugural show; one from the Baltimore Office of Promotion & the Arts, the second from the Baltimore Community Foundation for making “significant contributions to Baltimore’s vibrant arts and cultural scene in 2009.”

Open Ground 10

Open Ground is a social space and an open network, constituted by artists, and open to all. Open Ground has emerged from an 8 year experiment with a revolving roster of multidisciplinary artists who support and contextualize each other’s creative work through exhibitions, performances and studio critiques. Our dialog is based on profound respect for each other’s cultural and artistic differences.

Originally housed in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, the space became a breeding ground for community building, supporting local politics, and headquarters for radical ideas and progressive dialogue. Nurturing a wide range of artistic styles, the participating artists have leveraged the support of Open Ground to develop their voice, creating artwork that is unexpectedly inclusive & beautifully aware of their environment.

Red Truck Gallery09

Red Truck was founded in New Orleans in 2005. After Katrina, we, like everybody else, were forced to look elsewhere for income. For the first year or so after the storm we were strictly an online entity, focusing primarity on gallery show attendace (ie. Art London, Bridge Miami, etc) In late 2006 we opened a space in Ann Arbor, MI, and in late 2007, we proudly re-opened in New Orleans to great success.

When it comes to environment, Red Truck tries to bring about a feeling of real comfort. We show art that can be appreciated by anyone. Art that requires no description, no handholding or escoteric interpretation. As we see it, art is not for some idiot with an affected accent to explain to a confused client. Art’s got to be accessible, MOMA membership or not, & that is what we try to collect & show through Red Truck.

We-Are-Familia

Allison Berkoy

We-Are-Familia is an extensive global network of creative individuals from all disciplines whom have come together to explore the powerful, complex ties which consciously and unconsciously touch all that we experience as humans. Spearheaded by Creative Director Jennifer Garcia, their primary ongoing project is a series of 25 one-of-a kind keepsake boxes showcasing original “mementos” contributed by its family of 50 artists and artisans. The keepsake boxes themselves are an elegant assembly of found objects and discarded furniture fragments.

Both strange and beautiful, nostalgic & contemporary, the We-Are-Familia keepsake boxes offer unexpected juxtapositions, a new and exotic understanding of ordinary things. We-Are-Familia presents Keepsake Boxes No’s. 5 through 8 of 25, in addition to new work by Jeff Lewis, Tine Lundsfryd, Marc McAndrews, Thundercut, Change Design, Tobias Zarius, David Trumpf & Jesse Brown.

Allison Berkoy is a Brooklyn-based video and installation artist. Berkoy takes over the caverns of Lightship #115, the legendary “Frying Pan” docked at Pier 66. In her fourth exhibition with Fountain Art Fair, Berkoy installs a collection of large-scale video sculptures & smaller media objects throughout the once sunken ship. Navigating a labyrinth of rooms and corridors, descending deeper into the belly of the lightship, viewers encounter a series of scenes & spectacles set against the detritus of the ship’s storied past. Life-sized dummies come to life, & curiosities offer themselves to a world operating just below consciousness.

Gawker Artists presents NSFW (“Not Safe For Work”), a selection of works from a group show currently on display at Gawker Media’s headquarters. Featuring sexually suggestive works by Steve Ellis, Emiliano Granado, Justine Lai, Heather Morgan & Randy Polumbo, NSFW showcases Gawker Artists’ playful irreverence & ongoing exploration of the boundaries of corporate art programs. NSFW questions the meaning, role, & audience of sexually provocative art work, in the context of a corporate setting which commonly avoids works that are not safe.

Brooklyn based Temporary States will present an exhibition of artwork inspired by the concept of “art a child could do.” Participating artists will choose a real child-made picture that they feel has aesthetic value. They will then interpret the child’s work, riffing on the piece or appropriating it as they see fit, understanding this to be a gesture honoring the unaffected creative capacity of the child. The artist must not use any mechanical means of reproduction for this “Fountain of Youth” project. Temporary States, is a conceptual art project formed as a response to the changing reality of the contemporary art world.

http://www.temporarystates.comTemporary States

Brooklyn based Temporary States will present an exhibition of artwork inspired by the concept of “art a child could do.” Participating artists will choose a real child-made picture that they feel has aesthetic value. They will then interpret the child’s work, riffing on the piece or appropriating it as they see fit, understanding this to be a gesture honoring the unaffected creative capacity of the child. The artist must not use any mechanical means of reproduction for this “Fountain of Youth” project. Temporary States, is a conceptual art project formed as a response to the changing reality of the contemporary art world.

The radiance of light through a piece of artwork continues to intrigue Seth Mathurin. Of most interest is how illumination enhances artwork, bringing a different dimension to its aesthetic properties. Mathurin breaks boundaries by adding his own innovative spin to classical stained glass. He combines the art and craft skills of traditional studio work with contemporary computer graphics by electronically rendering the texture & color of favrile glass, creating contemporary light installations that shine day and night. His unique light box constructions showcase one-of-a-kind work.
