PERFORMA ' 09 NYC

ART:
Last days of always stellar, often unorthodox, sometimes hard-to-stomach performance art that takes places in galleries and hidden caverns around the city. Highlights: a sauna created from the steam of boiling pasta, and Mike Kelley’s dance performances involving people dressed as very colorful horses...ecc

SEBASTIEN SCHULLER AT SYCAMORE RESIDENCY

MUSIC AND ART:
Sebastien Schuller’s four-week Sycamore residency begins this evening with Drawlings.
About Sebastien’s 2007 album, Happiness:
aps out of fear that run-of-the-mill electronic experimentation is starting to get old, many artists are giving up the ghost of empty beats in favor of talking about their feelings. There is no one more ready for the task than Paris native Sébastien Schuller, who is poised to become the poster-boy for a new genre (emo-lectro?) with Happiness, a dream-like reflection on loss of innocence told through a vocal mixer.” – Nora Cronin for CM

DAVID SHRIGLEY

ART:
Cerealart is pleased to preview a new project by David Shrigley, "Brass Tooth"
David Shrigley is well known for his witty sculpture's, drawings and hand-written texts. His art frequently asks questions about the nature of contemporary art and its audience.
In his sculptural works, he makes physical some of his more curious and eccentric propositions by transforming found objects or by playing with their scale. Shrigley enlarges objects and imbues them with funny eccentric proportions as is the case of "Brass Tooth". He parodies the excessive and ridiculous aspects of the culture market and his rapidly executed art suggests desire to exploit and question the logic of contemporary art. Expressed in an extensive and expanding range of media, David Shrigley consistently seeks to widen his public. Shrigley is an artist who achieves the capacity to make his audience view the world in his terms entirely. Operating frequently outside the gallery sphere, the artist disseminates his ideas in his weekly contribution to The Guardian, prolific publishing projects, collaborations with musicians and an interactive website.
David Shrigley was born in 1968 and lives and works in Glasgow and has exhibited widely in the UK and around the world. He is represented in New York by the Anton Kern Gallery. He also exhibits with Yvon Lambert in Paris and Galleri Nicola Wallner in Copenhagen. He has also been included in exhibitions at The Museum of Modern Art in New York, The Kansas City Art Institute, The MCA Chicago, and The Tate Modern in London. http://www.cerealart.com
