LILIBETH CUENCA RASMUSSEN IN “THE PRESENT DOESN’T EXIST IN MY MIND, AND THE FUTURE IS ALREADY FAR BEHIND”— 3/4/10.

Inspired by the feminist writings of Valentine de Saint Point and Mina Loy that reflect on visions of female sexuality, Lilibeth Cuenca Ramussen’s one-woman multi-media performance in “The Present Doesn’t Exist in My Mind, and the Future is Already Far Behind” depicts the struggle between being a strong feminist woman in a culture of post-feminist traps.  Stunning and deeply touching, it's worth the outing.


ART’S NOT DEAD, IT’S SHRED— 3/3/10.

 

Oh, artists and your art!! You often get so attached and touchy about your works. Well here’s the chance to free yourselves. Today you can participate in ART SHRED, a group exhibition at The Winkleman Gallery, in which you can liberate yourself of original works on paper, photographs, letters and other meaningful one-of-a-kinds.  After the great shred the collection of works will be scattered on the gallery floor.  C'est la vie!

C. ALEXANDER HÄUSLER: INHERENT BODIES— OPENING TOMORROW!

C. Alexander Häusler’s work is all invested in space. How is space perceived, how is space constructed and how is space creating social interaction. Trained as an architect he later studied sculpture as way to work with space more immediatly. The large scale paintings shown at 255Canal gallery inscribe body and perception into surface. Like an installation the large paintings interact with the moving observer while conquering the third dimension.
