This book is a tribute to Dada – Coex’ae Qgam, a Naro artist, story-teller and dancer from the Kuru Art Project, D’Kar, Ghanzi District, Botswana.
Dada was an extraordinary woman, painter and printmaker. She died in 2008 at the age of 74 knowing that Ann Gollifer and Jenny Egner would make good their promise to publish a book on her life and work, a project that they have worked on together with Dada since 2002.
Ann Gollifer and Jenny Egner compiled and edited a series of conversations and interviews with Dada and her community, that took place over a period of 6 years, with the publication of a book in mind. The book documents important personal episodes in Dada’s life as well as her opinions on her work as a painter and printmaker, her relationship with her friends and family and her precious memories of times past.

French-born new york-based artist eve bailey’s work is based on the concepts of balance and coordination. Her studio practice is rooted in the tradition of the artist engineer while extending to the disciplines of dance and acrobatics.
The body interests her as a perceiving mechanical structure. She uses her own body as a primary tool to create pieces that experiment with equilibrium through physical, mechanical, plastic and conceptual means. She conceives functional devices that do not serve a practical purpose. Each project is developed through performances, drawings, maquettes, sculptures, photographs and videos.

On August 11th “Oiler” was installed at Montague Park in Chattanooga, TN.
The installation is part of a larger renovation of this former brown field site. The sculpture side of this endeavor is headed up by John and Pamela Henry and will prove to be another great example of how public art can transform blighted locations into wonderfully useful public space.
Additionally, “Sprung” was sited to a new public park on Staten Island this June. The park is located at the intersection of Glen St. and South Ave. The work will be on loan until 2012.

Towards a possible architecture
If we consider Le Corbusier’s saying about the practice of architecture – passion can create drama out of inert stone – we can understand Ricardo Rendón’s starting point. He is a sculptor who wanders and experiments with the trades related to architectural construction, and who seeks to breathe fresh life into the languages of his own discipline. His intention is to reposition his platforms as three-dimensional space, without ceasing to be sculpture.

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.
