Mutable and mysterious, grey can signify both a presence and an absence in painting. It is the middle ground of our perceptual value scale and lends itself to a variety of usages and interpretations. The relationship artists have to grey in their work can reveal a lot about their sensibilities, intent and background. “Grey Matter” explores the nuances of these differences by considering grey as both a color and an idea in creativity. In a timely fashion, the nature of some of the works exhibited remark on cultural and economic downturn – perhaps intentionally away from more vivid hues.
The diverse group of artists included in the show live and work throughout the US: Paul Behnke, Elia Bettaglio, Cat Balco, Katie Claiborne, Katie Crown, Rose DeSiano, Eric Dever, Donna Festa, David Fratkin, Danielle Goldsmith, Anki King, Michael Mancari, Michael Lee, Stephanie McMahon, Frank Meuschke, Tempest NeuCollins, Margaret Noel, Bruce Pollock, Anne Russinof, Tony Saunders, Julie Shapiro, Anita Thacher and Tamar Zinn.
The exhibition opened June 21st at The Painting Center, NY, and will be on view until August 6, 2011.

Intuitive Realities
Each of these eight talented artists selected for the 2010 – 2011 AAI’s Lower East Side Rotating Studio Program work in varying media and thematic investigations, but upon further deliberation, a common thread emerges. This unifying element is the manner in which each artist addresses the boundary between reality and artifice. Using photographs, statistical data, personal experience, historical research, nature and other concrete facts as a starting point — the artists depart from reality, allowing for ruptures, dissolutions or divergences from veracity. Shuttling between the real and the synthetic, the artists present viewers with composites of the truth. The concrete often melds into the subjective, and it is in these contested spaces – the line between reality and artifice – that the artists present viewers with enough leeway to experience the artwork in a highly personalized manner, warping truth into intuitive realities.

In the framework of the exceptional exhibition, Contemporary Art and the French Riviera, A Territory for Experimentation, the Espace de l’Art Concret presents a panorama of work by living artists as seen through the eyes of certain collectors from the region. The project examines the practice of installation art and on-site work by offering each artist an occasion to conceive a piece (financed and acquired by the collector) which will first be installed in the Castle gallery of the Espace de l’Art Concret and subsequently be integrated into the collector’s private collection.
This exhibition brings together ten artists in association with nine collectors, or couples who collect, for the conception of nine projects which must be integrated into two exhibition spaces completely different in both architecture and function.
The title of the exhibition, « Collectors on site » emphasizes the active role played by the collectors who experience here a new relationship with a work of art: one with a work in process. The dialogue between artist and collector also opens up to another interlocutor: the institution, initiator and pivot of the project. The Espace de l’Art Concret, fruit of a private initiative and a political choice, seems the ideal site for such an exhibition. In the same way the Castle, a building from the private sector transformed into an art center open to the public, allows us to put into perspective the sometimes ambiguous relationships that art maintains with commissions and decorum.
APT Studios and Gallery in London hosts two events this weekend: open studios take place Saturday, July 2, 12-6 pm and Sunday, July 3, 12-7pm. Concurrently, “Invaluable”, a group show of work created by APT Studio members opens Saturday.
