Recognized as one of the most well-known and commercially successful artists to emerge from Latin America, the Colombia native now has his work exhibited and collected by major museums around the world, including the New Orleans Museum of Art. The 100 paintings, drawings, and sculptures in this exhibition span the length of Botero's career-from paintings executed in 1959 in Colombia, to sculptures executed as late as 2005. The works were selected by John Sillevis, curator of the Gemeentemuseum in The Hague, and editor and contributor to the accompanying exhibition catalogue. The exhibition is organized and circulated by Art Services International, Alexandria, Virginia. The exhibition is accompanied by a fully illustrated catalogue with essays by John Sillevis, guest curator; David Elliot, Director of the Mori Art Museum in Tokyo; and Edward Sullivan, Dean of Humanities and Professor of Latin American Art at New York University.

The Contemporary Arts Center Presents - City Stage
July 12, 2008 - October 5, 2008 |
Add to Itinerary |
Times: Thursday - Sunday 11:00 am - 4:00 pm
Location: Contemporary Arts Center, 900 Camp St
Phone: (504) 528-3805
Admission: $5.00; $3.00 for students, seniors. FREE for CAC members and children under 15 every day
Theaters are no longer the ideal stages for the display of contemporary life, nor are actors the ultimate vehicles of the contemporary character. This is more true in New Orleans than anywhere else, where streets are stages and anyone is an actor on Mardi Gras Day. Inspired by recent staged events in New Orleans, from seasonal festivals to street theatre or experimental opera to movie shoots, City Stage gives an update to the Shakespearean idea of the world as a stage through the works of emerging artists from New Orleans and beyond infused by the spirit of the stage. City Stage is a reflection on scenic spaces or stages, be they a concert stage, a movie set, a photographer's studio or the streets during carnival and the way in which they impact on current visual arts production. City Stage looks at the way in which artistic fields outside of the visual arts, and for which the visual is only but one element, influence contemporary art which is itself less and less dominated by the preeminence of the purely visual and material, but instead becoming increasingly aural and performative. Although the exhibition is not solely centered on New Orleans, it recognizes the city's many theatrical, musical and carnival stages as a major source of inspiration for such artistic productions. Works in City Stage run the gamut of elements in a staged production from theatrical sets to costumes to studio photography. With Debris Man, originally created for 7 days in Paradise, a multimedia opera he co-wrote and played in, Jeffrey Cook brings the idea of the fetish explored in previous work to life, with a costume that is also a kinetic sculpture. Taking Paul Chan's Waiting for Godot as a starting point, Cauleen Smith invents a sci-fi narrative in which she uses the streets of New Orleans as a backdrop and stages its people as characters of the future in The Fullness of Time. In Bruce Davenport's drawing series, the protagonists are High-School marching bands whose regimented use of space brings to the fore the acquired stage qualities of New Orleans streets. Inspired by 1960's set design, theatrical props and fashion, Adrian Price blends the boundaries between stage and catwalk in an installation in which she revisits the images of women in mass media. The human figure is absent from Adia Millett staged environment in which props are given life through lighting and become leading characters. Finally Colin Miller and Michalene Thomas bring a different twist to studio portraiture, the former by subverting the televised image of the news anchor and the latter by using retro imagery in very contemporary depictions of African-American subjects elevated to the status of icons. By presenting staged and fictional representations from or in the spirit of New Orleans, City Stage questions the supposed truthful images and reports given by the media, suggesting instead that the City might be best experienced in the realm of the imagination. Artists in the exhibition include Jeffrey Cook (New Orleans), Bruce Davenport Jr. (New Orleans), Adrian Price (New Orleans), Colin Miller (Lafayette), Adia Millett (Los Angeles), Cauleen Smith (Boston), Mickalene Thomas (New York). Exhibition curated by Claire Tancons, Associate Curator, Contemporary Arts Center.

The Bachelor in New Orleans
July 25, 2008 - August 29, 2008 |
Add to Itinerary |
Times: Fridays 6:00 pm
Location: The Voodoo Mystére Lounge, 718 North Rampart (at Orleans)
Phone: (504)304-1568
Come join us for The Bachelor at a new club - The Voodoo Mystere Lounge. The Few Bachelors in New Orleans really know whether New Orleans is an alcoholic mirage or whether New Orleans drinks are part of a general illusion, including wrought-iron grillwork, impossibly beautiful women, magnolia blossoms, race horses, carnival parades and Mardi Gras, moonlight, and the suggestive music seeping out into the streets from a hundred courtyards. So begins the Bachelor his idiosyncratic guide for the playboy, or playgirl, who visits our city. Having thoroughly enjoyed its first foray into New Orleans-centric material with its production of one-acts by local luminary Brian Sands, Four Humours continues to explore the home turf with The Bachelor in New Orleans, an adaptation of a WWII-era gentleman's guide written by Robert Kinney and adapted and performed by Michael Martin. As the Bachelor continues, smart...albeit besotted and strange...advice is offered on the visitor's proper relations to local landmarks, loneliness, artists and galleries, musicians, food, and romance. More than any American city and now more than ever, we here live in a neverland of what was. Kinney's 1946 guidebook evokes all of what New Orleans is and was and is that holds us all in place. There's little more to say. A compelling yarn, told in an amusing voice, by an actor wearing a snazzy suit, The Bachelor in New Orleans is as simple as theatre gets

Gallery Bienvenu Presents New Paintings featuring Jim Napierala and Arturo Mallman
August 2, 2008 - September 26, 2008 |
Add to Itinerary |
Times: Tuesday - Saturday 10:00 am - 5:00 pm
http://www.gallerybienvenu.com
Location: Gallery Bienvenu, 518 Julia Street
Phone: (504) 525 - 0518
Mesmerizing and complex, the process-intensive paintings of New York City-based artist Jim Napierala superimpose the gestural freedom of Abstract Expressionism atop the rigor of the modernist grid. The paintings are the end result of a working method developed by the artist in 2000 and constantly evolved and adjusted since that time. Methodically taping off sections of a maple plywood panel, Napierala slices into the tape with a blade, creating curvaceous, biomorphic forms with a spontaneity reminiscent of Dadaist automatic drawing. Arturo Mallmann’s luminous paintings follow in this tradition, inviting us into landscapes that are half-geographic, half-psychological, and wholly immersive. Born in Uruguay, Mallmann has led a richly colorful life, residing and traveling throughout South America, Europe, and North America, and within these far-flung adventures lie the aesthetic and experiential influences that inform his haunting work. With acrylics, resin, and varnish, the artist layers and sands coat after coat of materials in a process that, like nature itself, is by turns additive and substractive. His austere compositions are often coalesce around the eternal motif of the horizon line, harkening to our primal human capacity for awe.

New Orleans Museum of Art Presents - Chin and Shearer Short Films about 9/11 and Last Things
August 27, 2008 |
Add to Itinerary |
Times: 7:00 pm
Location: New Orleans Museum of Art, One Collins Diboll Circle, City Park
Phone: (504) 488-2631
A pair of thoughtful short films made in the wake of disaster, 9-11/9-11 by Mel Chin and Last Things by Ivor Shearer, will be screened at the New Orleans Museum of Art, followed by a conversation with the filmmakers. The program, scheduled to closely coincide with the third anniversary of Hurricane Katrina and the subsequent flooding of New Orleans, will be free to Louisiana residents. In this animated film, 9-11/9-11, Mel Chin creates a tale of two cities, a tragedy of two times, weaving a story of love and hope wrecked by overt and covert manipulations of power and the impact of these collective traumas. September 11, 2001-New York City. September 11, 1973-Santiago. The terrorist attacks on the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York scarred the trust of the American people; while the Chilean military overthrow of President Salvador Allende, which occurred on the same day 28 years prior, ushered in 17 years of autocratic rule that left countless victims of torture and more than 3,000 dead. Last Things is a fictional experimental art film exploring the uncertainty of the future of New Orleans. Inspired by Paul Auster's 1987 novel, In The Country of Last Things, and set in the future, the film portrays a surreal, dystopic world in which the federal government has closed New Orleans off from the rest of the country. An absurd and illogical world is created by those unwilling to leave. The film follows the activities of various characters as they navigate through a lawless world dominated by garbage and dependent on the recycling of found materials. Although the principle characters act as a guide to lead the viewer through this world, identification with these characters is kept at a minimum in an attempt to provoke critical thought and avoid escapism.

"The works express sincere emotions about the children's experiences with Hurricane Katrina," said Holly Wherry, the professional art therapist who has been on staff at NOMA since 2007 and who coordinated the sessions that led to this exhibition. "You see how they are coping three years after the storm, and you see their immense pride in New Orleans.
