There Goes My Heroe

There Goes My Hero
September 23, 2009 - December 5, 2009

Organized by Erin Riley-Lopez, Associate Curator, The Bronx Museum of the Arts

The exhibition There Goes My Hero will explore women artists who use the format of comic books and/or the comic book superhero in their artistic practice as a strategy to comment on larger socio-political concerns. Although exhibitions about comics have been extensively surveyed in US institutions, this exhibition proposes to use a feminist lens to look specifically at women artists who are using the idea of comic books and superheroes as a point of departure for discussions around immigration, gender, identity, and culture. Overwhelmingly, comic books are often targeted to young men, although it seems that increasingly they are also becoming popular among young women as well. The artists in this exhibition are subverting the traditional notion of the comic book and the male superhero and are re-imagining it for female audiences. There Goes My Hero will be a group exhibition featuring twelve artists.

El Narval/ Lion Proyect

El Narval is a collective of talents dedicated to harmonize ideas with their realization. Interruption with Lions
The idea that an object can “interrupt” one’s daily routine inspired the creators of El Narval in February 2007 in San Pedro Garza García, Mexico.

By the end of February a lion made of plaster was created. It was created as an object meant to function as a vessel for artists around the world.

There are currently 27 lions around the world in: Beijing, Zurich, Milan, La Haya, Paris, Manchester, Barcelona, Madrid, Bilbao, South Africa, New York, Los Angeles, Austin, Mexico City, Playa Del Carmen, Zacatecas, Sabinas Hidalgo, Mamulique and Santa Catarina. In Monterrey and San Pedro there are about 30 lions installed and others are currently being distributed.

Bronx Blue Bedroom Project is proud to present the work of | Michelle Frick Arterial Nests

Saturday, April 4– April 27, 2009

Opening reception for the artist: Saturday, April 4, 2-5pm

Bronx Culture Trolley stop on Wednesday April 1, 5-8:30

http://www.bronxarts.org/MonthlyVenuePage.asp


Michelle’s art making was refocused a few years ago when two immediate family members were hospitalized for numerous extended periods of time. For four years she witnessed the aftermath of high-risk medical procedures and was exposed to a wide variety of nurses' supplies. Initially uneasy with the hospital supplies, she eventually viewed them as interesting forms offering evocative possibilities to her art.



For her exhibition at Bronx Blue Bedroom Project, Michelle will present a new installation entitled Arterial Nests. The bedroom will be transformed into a medical research lab inhabited by numerous birds' nests made of silicone and intravenous line components. An ambient soundtrack and a light box will round out the multisensory quality of the piece.



The Bronx Blue Bedroom Project events are made possible with public funds from The Bronx Council on the Arts through the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs Greater New York Development Fund Regrants Program, Bronx borough president Adolfo Carrion, The Bronx Delegation of the City Council, Bx 1 Indie Arts Program and with the generous support of the Mexican Cultural Institute of New York.

Gallery Makeovers: Sun K. Kwak and Bedroom Gallerists
by Allison Lichter

NEW YORK, NY March 23, 2009 —Art galleries big and small are getting makeovers by New York artists.

For the past month, Korean-born artist Sun K. Kwak has been covering the walls of a fifth floor gallery at the Brooklyn Museum with almost three miles of thick black masking tape

She's cut undulating white lines into the tape, making the piece a room-sized mural. The installation is called "Enfolding 280 hours" -- that's the amount of time Kwak thinks it will take her to complete the project, which opens this Friday.

And in an even smaller space, in the Mott Haven neighborhood of the South Bronx, Blanka Amezkua has turned her bedroom into an art gallery.

She invites mixed media artists to do as they please in her small room. One artist plans to bring in birds and nests made out of surgical material. Amezkua says alternative arts spaces offer artists a lot of freedom to work

AMEZKUA: The artists really feel like they can do so much more in the space that’s not as controlled as more established venues.

There are photos of the Bronx Bedroom gallery and a video of Sun K. Kwak wrapping the gallery at the Brooklyn Museum on our website.

3 years ago, really?

Found this while looking for Tax Docs:
Tropicalia 06', Bronx Museum.
pictures taken for some publication, I was a gallery facilitator, one of the funnest volunteer jobs I have done; talking to the parrots, hear songs on a loop from the Exhibition in Cuba, visitors constantly thinking I was one of the artists, pshh if only.

I remember most of it, I really liked witnessing the visitor's experiences, how reluctant they were to try the colored water, how the kids wanted to stay the longest time in the sand, how difficult it was to have them take their shoes off, but Pape's work was by far the most fun to have them experience, a lot of giggling included.

wearing parangole

Dear New Museum,

A little note for the New Museum, made from the latest letter I got where they request former Members to renew. By which they also take the opportunity to invite me to the "Younger than Jesus" opening, all access granted after mailing my renewal application.

Which I can't,
it is just that;
it doesn't seem to be working.

looks good under this particular context and together with other people's work

Eye Level will be have an Opening for Artist Malcolm Stuart, Pattern People;
"For “Pattern People” Stuart goes beyond the surface world of the individual and temporal. Malcolm’s themes are in themselves repetitious. Animals, monsters, disremembered human parts, and botanical elements form an elaborate visual blanket that lends itself to 2D paintings, clothing, furniture and objects. These incarnations are stimulating in their own right, but their combination forms the act of camouflage and allows the assumption of identities blurring the boundaries of the wearer through aggressive visual stimulation as opposed to an assimilation of proximate colors and patterns."

Fanny Allié
The Flight


February 7-28, 2009

Opening reception for the artist: Saturday, February 7th 2-5pm
Bronx Culture Trolley stop on Wednesday February 4, 5-8:30pm

Bronx Blue Bedroom Project (BBBP) is pleased to present the work of Fanny Allié…



For the Bronx Blue Bedroom Project, I am showing an installation in which a video of a window is projected on the actual windows of the bedroom.
This video revolves around a character’s interaction with his window.
In the blue bedroom, I will also install a bed next to the projection. On this bed, there will be a human body shape, sleeping.

I am interested in creating an intimate environment where imaginary and real world, fiction and reality would be combined together.

Using the image of the window -which is a separation
between the viewer and the outside world- I would like to focus on the dreams or the unconscious desires that anyone can have.

The Bronx Blue Bedroom Project events are made possible with public funds from The Bronx Council on the Arts through the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs Greater New York Development Fund Regrants Program, Bronx borough president Adolfo Carrion, The Bronx Delegation of the City Council, Bx 1 Indie Arts Program and with the generous support of the Mexican Cultural Institute of New York.

More art, more community in a world that needs it more than ever!!! Hope you can join us!
