workshop
Gawker Artists is pleased to announce the opening of “Timeless, Placeless,” a solo show of paintings by Malado Baldwin at Gawker Media’s NYC headquarters.
“Timeless, Placeless” is comprised of real and imagined landscapes from Malado’s various travels and youth spent in West Africa. In her work lush colors, geographical forms, and art historical and cultural references combine to create a sense of nostalgia, mystery and grandeur.
In Malado’s own words, “Psychedelic and modern meld with ancient terrain to become timeless and placeless. The landscapes of my childhood in Africa co-habitate with Chinese landscapes, Roman mosaics, Italian frescoes, cave art, and science fiction. I paint these strange places: rocky formations; striations, remnants, ruins, boulders, mounds, caves, domes, huts, and architectural spaces…..as localities that could be primordial; may be post-apocalyptic, and are as familiar as alien. Ideas of both destruction and resurrection play through a lens of vibrant color. I speak to the power of landscape to hold suggestive meaning beyond mapping or describing, into exaltation.”
“Timeless, Placeless,” will be on display through March and is open by appointment.

Nicholas Metivier Gallery
451 King Street West
Toronto ON M5V 1K4
MacFarlane’s paintings are kaleidoscopic spacescapes that balance recognizable forms with abstract painterly detail. Based on maquettes of found materials, the paintings oscillate between real and imaginary, object and place. Psychedelic colour, puzzle-like shapes and overlapping planes wrap, twist, fold and dissolve, referencing Post-Impressionism, Cubism and Surrealism.
Show runs until November 5.
For more information and images from the show visit Nicholas Metivier Gallery online here.

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.

General León 48 esq. General Cano. San Miguel Chapultepec
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.
