“Limits is a relative term. Like beauty, it is often in the eye of the beholder." Chris Burden Gagosian Paris presents works by Chris Burden, his first exhibition in Paris in more than twenty years. Since the 1970s, Burden has channeled the daring spirit of his early life-threatening performances into sculptures that embody technical feats on an imposing scale. Toys (figurines, train sets, Erector parts) are used as the building blocks for expansive scale models, cities, and battlefields, while actual vehicles (ships, trucks, and cars) are suspended or set in motion in surreal and improbable ways. The exhibition will be on view until July 24th at Gagosian Paris, 26 Avenue de l'Europe, Le Bourget

Ed Templeton 'Synthentic Suburbia' @ Roberts & Tilton

“Synthetic Suburbia is a culmination of years of looking at the place where I live and the peculiarity of it. I have travelled all over the world and there is no place as strange as Huntington Beach.” Primarily known as a photographer documenting the people and culture surrounding the iconic pier in Huntington Beach, California, Ed Templeton’s Synthetic Suburbia is a survey of new paintings and drawings directly inspired from this emersion into his coastal suburban environment.

Bruce LaBruce Celebrates MoMA Retrospective @ Nowhere Bar

Transgressive queercore director  Bruce LaBruce is flying high right now; his first MoMA exhibition opened up last night and Bruce went out to party. The exhibition itself is a monumental achievement; LaBruce may be one of the more extreme artists to ever have work shown at MoMA. Depicting scenes of sexual fetish and paraphillia, BDSM, gang rape, racially-motivated violence, amputee fetishism and more, LaBruce has managed to turn controversy into his own brand of queer celebrating and sex positive art. MoMA itself has compared LaBruce favorably to Robert Altman and Federico Fellini as a true auteur when discussing the choice for the exhibition. So where did LaBruce go out to celebrate his achievement? Nowhere Bar, of course. The infamous gay bar proved to be a perfect setting for LaBruce to party and dance with friends and muses like performance artist Kembra Phahler and writer and nightlife personality Ladyfag , as well as many more adoring friends and fans.  One half expects extreme things to be surrounding Bruce at all times, but tonight was actually a mellow night where Bruce drank, hugged friends, danced and basked in the glory.

[Looking Forward] Simon Hantaï @ Mnuchin Gallery in New York

In Paris in 1960, at a time when the avant-garde was mourning the death of painting, Simon Hantaï  (1922 – 2008) chose not to abandon or destroy the medium but rather to reinvent it. Triggered by Jackson Pollock, Hantaï began by laying his unstretched canvas on the floor. He went on to fold and knot the material before painting its crumpled surface, causing the folded areas to remain unpainted.  When unfolded and stretched, the canvas revealed fragmented planes of pure pigment glinting and winking among scattered fields of negative space. Starting April 28th, Mnuchin Gallery presents an exhibition of paintings by Simon Hantaï. Simon Hantaï | Pliage: The First Decade will present a focused look at the 1960s, his first mature decade.
