APRIL 2010
Donna Sharrett at Dorsky Gallery, Long Island City, NY
Assembling Narratives: Quilting Impulses in Contemporary Art presents the work of six artists—Sabrina Gschwandtner, Karolyn Hatton, Faith Ringgold, DONNA SHARRETT, John Sims, and Anna Von Mertens—who appropriate quiltmaking as a symbolic repository of personal and communal experiences. Even as they borrow the forms and processes of this traditional craft, they push the conventions of quiltmaking in new directions by using unconventional materials, by cross-pollinating different disciplines, or by taking a decidedly conceptual approach. The exhibition is co-curated by Donna Harkavy & Flavia S. Zuniga-West.
The exhibition runs from April 11 - June 27, 2010. Donna Sharrett will be present during a gallery tour and talk on Sunday, June 13 at 3pm. Please visit www.dorsky.org for more information.

This biennial invitation is an inter-generational exhibition of non-Academians that offers an opportunity for the public to preview new artistic directions in contemporary American art.
The exhibition spans the gamut from realism to abstraction, and includes a mix of painting, scultpture, mixed media and installation art. Selections represent diverse ideas, mediums, and techniques from an historic number of over 400 artists that submitted work for consideration. "The exhibition includes an array of artists and art-making strategies from emerging and veteran abstractionists to representational artists addressing issues of identity and sexuality," notes Marshall Price, Curator of Modern and Contempoary Art at the National Academy Museum.

JANUARY 2010
MICHAEL COOPER (August 20, 1949 – January 23, 2010)
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved gallery artist and friend MICHAEL COOPER (1949–2010). Following a long and courageous battle with Leukemia, the artist died quietly at home on January 23, 2010.
Born in New York City and educated at Pratt Institute, MICHAEL COOPER began his career as a graphic designer, painter and illustrator. However, it was Cooper’s pursuit of collage as a fine art that was paramount. His first solo exhibition of found object collages was held at O.K. Harris Gallery in 1976. Describing the work, a reviewer for The New Yorker wrote “small collages in which postage stamps, playing cards, Scrabble tiles … and other decorative oddments take what seem to be their predestined places in a given composition.” Color and order lay at the heart of an obsessive practice of collecting that stretched over some thirty years. In a process that he called “disciplining junk”, Cooper created meticulous monochromatic grids from evocative fragments of ephemera and used representative titles like Sixteen Red Things, Twenty-Five Silver Things, and One through Ten. His monochromes and numeric arrangements are at once rich in visual and cultural reference and coolly minimalist in their simplicity.
“What is it about found objects that you find so appealing?” Michael Cooper was once asked. “I just like the idea of rescuing them from oblivion,” he responded.

AUGUST 2009
ADDIE HERDER (1920 - 2009)
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved gallery artist and friend ADDIE HERDER (1920 - 2009). Following a long and courageous battle with emphysema the artist died quietly at home on the evening of August 11, 2009.
ADDIE HERDER was widely known as an artist's artist. While many of her contemporaries were filling enormous canvases with the barest minimum of pictorial adornment, Addie went her own way creating complex worlds and outlandish machines in spaces often no larger than twelve by ten inches. The art critic, John Russell, declared that her small spaces had all of the pictorial interest of a Giorgione. He wrote in the New York Times: "There is something addictive about the collage constructions of Addie Herder. Once under their spell, we can't see enough of them."
JERRY JOFEN (1925-93) films screened at Anthology Film Archives August 6.

JONATHAN SANTLOFER at the National Portrait Gallery (Washington, DC)
Two works by JONATHAN SANTLOFER are included in the exhibition “Inventing Marcel Duchamp: The Dynamics of Portraiture”, at the National Portrait Gallery in Washington D.C., on view March 27 – August 2, 2009.
This groundbreaking exhibition casts new light upon Marcel Duchamp (1887-1968), one of the most influential artists of the recent past. This show demonstrates that Duchamp harnessed the power of portraiture and self-portraiture both to secure his reputation as an iconoclast and to establish himself as a major figure in the artworld. In the process, he played a key role in the reinvention of portraiture, exerting a transformative influence from the early 20th century to the present. The exhibition showcases approximately 100 never-before-assembled portraits and self-portraits of Duchamp ranging from 1912 to the present, including works by his contemporaries Man Ray, Alfred Stieglitz, Francis Picabia and Florine Stettheimer as well as portraits by a more recent generation of artists, such as Andy Warhol, Jasper Johns, Sturtevant, Yasumasa Morimura, David Hammons, Beatrice Wood and Douglas Gordon. The exhibition will be accompanied by a fully-illustrated catalogue published by MIT Press, featuring new research by leading scholars and a detailed chronology of Duchamp's life. Co-curators for the exhibition are Anne Collins Goodyear, assistant curator of prints and drawings, and James W. McManus, professor of art history, California State University Chico.
