Artists Space’s Tribeca Outpost Will Host André Cadere Show

Artists Space’s Books & Talks venue, which opened in Tribeca last year, is home to a tastefully curated bookshop, has hosted numerous talks, screenings and discussions, and served as a studio for Peter Fend. Soon it will present its first fully fledged exhibition. On the evening of May 10, it opens “Documenting Cadere: 1972–1978,” which looks at the life and travels of the Polish-born artist André Cadere (1934–78), who’s best known for the thin, striped cylindrical sculptures he called Barres de Bois Rond—”round bars of wood.” Read More

‘Frozen Lakes’ at Artists Space

The fierce ambition that has marked the first three and a half years of Stefan Kalmár’s tenure as director (and curator) of Artists Space shows no sign of abating. The current exhibition, “Frozen Lakes,” which he has co-curated with the alternative space’s curator, Richard Birkett, takes as its jumping-off point the famous “Pictures” exhibition that critic Douglas Crimp curated at the gallery in 1977. “Pictures” was one of the organization’s foundational moments and a pivotal moment in recent art history. The new show feels similarly riveting. Read More

6 Things to Do in New York’s Art World Before October 19

MONDAY, OCTOBER 15

Opening and Performances: “Some Sweet Day,” at Museum of Modern Art
This week, MoMA begins its three-week dance series “Some Sweet Day,” which pairs some of the brightest talents in conceptual dance from the Judson Church era to today in dialogues that explore the boundaries of movement. Steve Paxton, Jérôme Bel, Sarah Michelson and Faustin Linyekula are some of the dancers in the performance series that occurs at various times in the atrium over the course of the exhibition. Steve Paxton opens the dialogue with his works Satisfyin Lover and State, presented at various times on Wednesday and Sunday. Jérôme Bel responds with The Show Must Go On, presented at various times on Saturday and Sunday. Saturday at 4 p.m., join Sabine Breitwieser, chief curator of the department of media and performance art, and guest curator Ralph Lemon as they lead the two dancers in a discussion about their work. —Rozalia Jovanovic Read More

Andy’s Kids: The Met Takes a Scattershot Stab at Establishing Warhol’s Influence, but at Artists Space, the Bernadette Corporation Is the True Heir to His Myth-Making

If you listen carefully, you can hear the howling from curatorial and critical circles about the Metropolitan Museum’s blockbuster, “Regarding Warhol.” Organized by Mark Rosenthal with Marla Prather, Ian Alteveer and Rebecca Lowery, the exhibition is a Trojan horse: under the guise of examining the influential Pop artist, the Met has crept through the gates of contemporary art curation. The haphazard display, which looks cobbled together from auction-house catalogues (rather than from art history books), functions less as a thoughtful exhibition than as a three-dimensional press release for the traditionally more historically focused museum’s plans to expand into new art. It’s a land-grab, a wild claim to exciting territory. Its raison d’être is more institutional positioning than visual persuasion. It is bold, impolitic—and interesting. Read More
