NEW YORK: SERGE ALAIN NITEGEKA
Personal Effects in BLACK
January 11 - February 24, 2018
MARIANNE BOESKY GALLERY
509 & 507 West 24th Street
New York, NY
From Marianne Boesky Gallery e-blast:
The exhibition features a new body of work by Serge Alain Nitegeka with geometric compositions that arise spontaneously on the wood panels. Matte and glossy blacks appear in wide strokes and in fine, delicate lines across crisp whites, warm yellows, and cool blues, creating a complex web of layers that seem to reach further and further beyond the surface field. Perceptions of depth are further complicated by the incorporation of additional wood panels and forms, producing a physical depth in some works that is only perceived in others. The flow between the real and imagined is further heightened by the installation in the gallery’s corridor.

SUSAN INGLETT GALLERY
522 West 22nd Street
New York, NY
From Susan Inglett Gallery e-blast:
Susan Inglett Gallery is pleased to present Keep on Pushing, an exhibition of new cut-paper work and paintings on panel by William Villalongo.
Known for irreverent riffs on the art historical "muse," Villalongo has made episodic paintings and works on paper, which underscore historical erasure and master narratives of desire. In his fifth solo exhibition at Susan Inglett Gallery, the artist turns his attention to the black male figure, while returning to his signature cut velvet paper works.
This new body of work suggests a re-imagining of the black male figure at a time when current events and statistics reflect a social reality of limited expectations, contingency, and disproportionate fear. Within the dark tones of these meditations on physiology, the artist uses metaphors of invisibility, nature, and reformation as necessary conditions of being. Much like fallen autumn leaves, Villalongo's men navigate their world, subject to an unpredictable wind - piling, spinning, and re-collecting. The work conjures spaces of sensuality, humor, and history. Titled after Curtis Mayfield's 1970 hit song, "Keep on Pushing," this body of work speaks to the inherent human spirit's will to persevere and to find a way.

HEADS UP: CHARLES WHITE RETROSPECTIVE
From artdesignchicago.org:
Charles White: A Retrospective unites a selection of the artist's finest works, speaking to their universal appeal and stunning beauty and their relevance to audiences today. The exhibition’s focused and overdue consideration of White's work and influence in Chicago proves invaluable in understanding the ongoing themes of his art and his later artistic development even after his departure from the city. While centered on White, the exhibition also seeks to further understanding of Chicago's immense contributions to American art history and deepen understanding of White's artistic production through the close examination of his early and later work in light of his context to Chicago.

From Fort Gansevoort press release:
Barnette’s inaugural exhibition with the gallery features a mergence of photography, drawing and installation to create a dynamic exploration of the abstraction of urban space and the transcendence of the mundane to the imaginative. The title Compland suggests a mythical cultural space, though geographically impossible, blending the California cities of Compton and Oakland. For the artist, these cities each hold equal parts biographical significance and importance as iconic places defining west coast culture, from Black Power to hip hop. Family photographs and ephemera punctuate Barnette’s imagined space with evidence of the real. California 1970’s living rooms, stacks of money and coins, sidewalk cracks and fences, stucco buildings and hello kitty toys are viewed alongside splashes of glitter and otherworldly holographic iridescence.

Biggers’ syncretic practice positions him as a collaborator with the past, adding his own voice and perspective to those who made and used the antique quilts, African sculptures, and cultural imagery he references. His work speaks to current social, political, and economic happenings as well as to the historic context that bore them.

From publicfunctionary.org:
The Shop is a multi-media art exhibition based on the iconography and culture of the Black barbershop. The exhibition recalls the Afro-centric rumination central to the barbershop experience. Black hair, historically an object of ridicule, has evolved into a symbol of pride and rebellion. The barbershop is a microcosm of the African American experience. It is a place where the past, present and future combine and authenticity is valued most.
The works will showcase a wide array of artistic disciplines including paintings, photography, screen prints, drawings and digital art, sharing different perspectives in response to the importance of the barbershop experience to the Black community. The show will feature both emerging and established Black artists creating work around the theme, a rare cross-generational collective show highlighting African American artists collectively engaging with the broader Minneapolis arts scene.

The artists included are a wide range of painters whose works perform differently but with a shared radicality in their employment and understanding of color. This exhibition doesn't speak to a time or place. The relationships formed here between works are often opaque and intentionally diverse. Some of these artists are heroes of mine, while others I've only recently been introduced to. They're bonded by my interest in their work. I've often found that artist-organized exhibitions are most successful when the artist chooses to include works they wish they'd made themselves. This exhibition follows that philosophy." –Rashid Johnson

From Third Steaming (3S) e-blast:
"The photographs of Alvin Baltrop (1948-2004) were virtually unknown during the artist’s lifetime. A working-class African-American many of whose photographs are sexually explicit, Baltrop encountered only rejection. In the past decade, his work has belatedly begun to be exhibited, including at Third Streaming and MoMA/PS1 in New York City, the Reina Sofia in Madrid, and the Contemporary Art Museum, Houston. By far the largest cache of Baltrop’s extant photographs depicts the scene at the dilapidated Hudson River piers adjacent to Greenwich Village and the Meat Packing District. During the 1970s and into the 1980s, when Baltrop photographed there, the piers were a site of pleasure and danger for men seeking sex, sunbathing, making a provisional home, or just hanging out and taking in the splendor of the industrial ruins. More nefarious deeds also took place: theft, gay-bashing, even murder." - Douglas Crimp
