Undeniably me @ Galerie Rudolfinum

(photo above is from Richard Billingham's series "Ray's A Laugh" which documents the life of his alcoholic father Ray, and obese, heavily-tattooed mother, Liz)



During our summer trip to Prague we visited the "Undeniably Me" exhibition at Galerie Rudolfinum, focusing on the phenomena of perception and identity and featuring a great selection of pieces from a number of international art heavyweights.

The - mostly 2 dimensional - works include photographs from Christian Boltanski, Richard Billingham, Andreas Gursky and Thomas Ruff, paintings by Marlene Dumas, Luc Tuymans and Elizabeth Peyton and videos by Fiona Tan and Bruce Nauman.



The masterpiece of the show is an installation by Gerhard Richter, consisting of 48 photo-realistically painted portraits of influential men from the past (artists, women and politicians excluded), based on black and white encyclopedia images from the 70s. Richter's installation is juxtaposed with a reply from Gottfried Helnwein: 48 watercolor portraits depicting exclusively women of historic influence.

Showtime: "No Maps for These Territories" @ MX7 gallery

The concept for group show "No Maps For These Territories" in Antwerp's MX7 gallery takes inspiration from the life and work of author, visionary and father of cyberpunk, William Gibson - as documented in Mark Neale's film from 2000. Group of artists, including Tom Tosseyn, Andy Wauman, Lieven Segers, Xenia Faizoulova and others, work around Gibson's concept to transform the walls of the gallery into one big artwork. On view till August 29 and not to be missed!

Showtime: "The City We Love" @ 941 Geary

The City We Love is a large-scale group exhibition featuring artists from the San Francisco Bay Area's graffiti and street art culture. Co-curated by Justin Giarla and SF graffiti practitioner APEX, the participating artists include Casey Gray, Chad Hasegawa, Chor Boogie, David Ball (see image above), D Young V, Ezra Li Estmont, Jesse Hazelip, John Felix Arnold, Teen Witch, Vogue, APEX himself and others.

New Artist Residencies in Ghana and Mexico

Hey there....here are a couple new things that just came my way. I THINK that this first one is in Ghana but they didn't tell me. If you run a residency somewhere and send me info about it....make sure you tell me what country it's in, okay? Just a thought! Thanks!

Anyway....here's number one...number two is below.



Community Arts Project Residency CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

(in Ghana? Your guess is as good as mine. :-))



Nka Foundation invites submissions of creative projects throughout the year that in some way involve the communities we serve. Our Community Arts Project Residency is a part of our ongoing projects of tapping local resources for sustainable human capital development through a focus on the arts. Thus, we have an open door to the multiplicity of expressions in the arts that connect international contemporary practices with the local communities we serve. Artistic persons or teams in diverse fields of the arts (visual, theatre, music, literary, film/new media, arts education, arts therapy, philosophy, cultural history, etc), and intersections of the arts with architecture (arts+architecture) and engineering (arts+engineering) are all welcome to apply for residency at our Arts Village. Length of project residencies varies from a few weeks to several months, according to project.



Often, we collaborate with other organizations and schools, and host a collective project in our Arts Village. The cross-cultural collaboration may be in form of rural community service project, community arts research, or a workshop-residency, whereby the project starts with a workshop session or course session led by one or more experts in the discipline. The interactive session would be followed by independent projects. All these culminate in an exhibition/community day, or other means of project documentation and dissemination in evidence-based society.



COSTS: Join us! Cost of food and accommodation is affordable. Food is by cooperative kitchen in which we all work together in sharing the planning, cost, shopping and cooking; the estimate is $7-9/day per person. We provide accommodation at an Arts Village setting - to defray program costs we welcome donations from participant’s sponsors at $90 / €71 / £62 per week, or pay what you can. The international participants are responsible for own return air ticket, and other personal costs. If proposing / initiating a project, you will have to raise the funds for that.



DEADLINE: Ongoing but apply 1 month in advance of residency.



APPLICATION: To apply, e-mail detail on what your plan to accomplish with us, your CV, and examples of your work to info@nkafoundation.org. For detail our projects go to www.nkafoundation.org.

***message from Mirabee....as you know, I try to mostly offer opportunities that are FREE or that offer financial aid. But this place is new and does not have sponsorship at the moment. It is still not a bad deal if you think you can swing it financially or get some grant funding to help pay for the trip. I am posting it because a friend of mine (a sculptor) recently went there and had a wonderful and productive time.
