A Preview Of Jason Rhoades 'Installations, 1994-2006' @ Hauser Wirth And Schimmel in Los Angeles

Hauser Wirth & Schimmel presents ‘Jason Rhoades. Installations, 1994 – 2006,’ the first major Los Angeles exhibition devoted to the politically charged, darkly exuberant art of Jason Rhoades. Comprised of six major works spanning the artist’s career, this exhibition constitutes a long-overdue, comprehensive survey in his adopted city. While Rhoades’ groundbreaking installations found early recognition in Europe and New York, the artist spent the entirety of his career in Los Angeles, where he lived and worked until his untimely death in 2006 at the age of 41. The exhibition at Hauser Wirth & Schimmel is conceived to share and celebrate his unwavering vision of the world as an infinite, corpulent, and lustful universe of expressive opportunity. Assertively pushing against the safety of cultural conventions, Rhoades broke accepted rules of public nicety and expanded the frontiers of artistic opportunity through unbridled, brazenly ‘Maximalist’ works. In short, Rhoades brought the impolite and culturally unspeakable to the center of the conversation. Jason Rhoades 'Installations, 1994-2006'  will be on view until February 18, 2017 until May 21, 2017 at Hauser Wirth and Schimmel in Los Angeles. photographs by Oliver Maxwell Kupper

Watch The Debut Of Isaac Delusion's Music Video For The Track "Isabella" Directed By Nadia Lee Cohen

Isaac Delusion: "It is a very feminine song - hence why I wanted an all female cast. I wanted it to feel as though all of the women in the film could be Isabella. They are not protesting, they're just being themselves, although that could be considered rebellious now when we have such a conformist society. I wanted them to feel like this group of beautiful young carefree women; some are lovers some are friends; and we're getting a peek into their day to day life." Delusion's new album, Rust & Gold, will be out on April 7, 2017.

Judith Bernstein "Cock In The Box" @ The Box LA Gallery In Los Angeles

For The Box’s fourth solo-exhibition of Judith Bernstein, a powerhouse known for her large-scale drawings of screws and provocative paintings, we expose another side of her process. Focusing on smaller-scale works, this show brings together some early masculine screw drawings with Bernstein’s explorations of male-to-female form, Anthuriums. The space holds a conversation in gendered shapes and forms. Judith Bernstein "Cock In The Box" will be on view until March 18, 2017 at The Box LA. photographs by Oliver Maxwell Kupper

Raymond Pettibon "A Pen Of All Work" @ The New Museum In New York

The New Museum presents a major exhibition focusing on the work of Raymond Pettibon (b. 1957, Tucson, AZ). For over thirty years, Pettibon has been chronicling the history, mythology, and culture of America with a prodigious and distinctive voice. Through his drawings’ signature interplay between image and text, he moves between historical reflection, emotional longing, poetic wit, and strident critique. Since the late 1960s, he has produced thousands of drawings and energetic installations that have been executed in museums and galleries around the world. These works poignantly evoke the country’s shifting values across time, from the idealistic postwar period in which he was born to the collapse of the American counterculture in the ’70s and ’80s to the painful military and social conflicts of the present. Raymond Pettibon "A Pen Of All Work" will be on view from February 8 until April 9, 2017 at the New Museum in New York. photographs by Adam Lehrer

Tatiana Echeverri Fernandez "Bones And Bloodlines To Space" @ Museum as Retail Space (MaRS) Gallery In Los Angeles

The body is not a vessel, but only a liminal reference. We wish to leave it. Drugs, spiritual experiences, vicarious fantasy, ecstatic states - we enact a multitude of practices to negate its reference. The absent gas of a neon tube, the spatially displaced narrative of a car windshield, and the formally resistant presence of a gradient, evoke a multiplicity of dimension in concert. Wassily Kandinsky’s philosophical treatise Point and Line to Plane is recalled, but through our corporeal perspective. The brown and yellow monochrome casts remind us of what was, is, and will be bodily part of us. Fernandez creates her photograms in complete darkness, without aide of a safelight. Her motions and arrangements a deft balance of intention and intuition, manipulating artifacts of our dying modernity. The neolithic act of cave painting might be comparable, miles into the utter darkness of the earth, to subsume the essence of great beasts that sustain us. The prehistoric urge to document comes from darkness, because from nothing comes the urge to exist. The primordial symbol of the snake references its own perpetual documentation of its body, leaving us the sublimation from itself. Tatiana Echeverri Fernandez "Bones And Bloodlines To Space" in on view now at Museum as Retail Space (MaRS) gallery In Los Angeles. text by Robert Zin Stark. photographs by Oliver Maxwell Kupper

Katharina Grosse Exhibition @ Gagosian Gallery in New York

Gagosian present new paintings and sculpture by Katharina Grosse. A prominent figure on the international art circuit, this is her first gallery exhibition in New York and at Gagosian, following a series of significant public commissions in the U.S. in recent years. Grosse approaches painting as an experience in immersive subjectivity. With a spray gun, she disconnects the artistic act from the hand, stylizing gesture as a propulsive mark. The resulting pictures are distinct, but never predetermined. Spatial tensions rise through shifts in chromatic temperature. Challenging boundaries, she reintroduces her body as an active agent within a vision of contemporary existence that is at once physically isolated and densely networked. On view until March 19, at Gagosian Gallery, 555 West 24th Street. photographs by Adam Lehrer
