Darren Waterston: A Compendium of Creatures
Legion of Honor, Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco
Reva and David Logan Gallery of Illustrated Books
March 30, 2013 - December 29, 2013
This exhibition showcases the portfolio A Swarm, A Flock, A Host: A Compendium of Creatures, 12 color aquatints by noted artist Darren Waterston and text plates featuring a poem by award-winning writer Mark Doty. The portfolio, a contemporary version of a medieval bestiary, was commissioned by the Achenbach Graphic Arts Council (AGAC), in support of the art acquisitions program of the Achenbach Foundation for Graphic Arts, the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco’s prints and drawings department.
In this modern bestiary Waterston depicts silhouetted animal and plant forms in emotionally charged configurations meant to be as menacing as they are playful. “As Mark’s extraordinary poetry took form,” Waterston has said, “I painted in response, inspired by his words though not directly illustrating them.”

JOHN BUCK: C'EST MAGNIFIQUE
Hilliard Museum, University of Louisiana at Lafayette
January 19 - May 11 2013
This exhibition will showcase the unique work and skill of internationally renowned sculptor, woodcarver, and printmaker John Buck. The artist creates intricately carved woodblocks, which he uses to make prints by hand rubbing rather than through mechanical processing. This labor-intensive technique produces prints that are high in quality and limited in edition. Additionally, Buck carves and assembles elaborate sculptures consisting of unexpected combinations of objects. These sculptures vary in size; many are two and three times Buck’s height. With several, Buck includes a kinetic component. Visitors to the exhibit will have the opportunity to activate these wonders into motion, bringing them to life. Art enthusiasts as well as anyone who appreciates the skill and time involved in woodworking will enjoy this exhibition.

Romare Bearden Black Odyssey Remixes App for iPhone and iPad
By Smithsonian Institution
Create your own collage art based on the incredible works of American artist Romare Bearden (1911-1988).
In 1977, Romare Bearden created a series of collages inspired by the ancient poet Homer and his epic story "The Odyssey." Bearden believed that “all of us from the time we begin to think are on an odyssey.” The Romare Bearden collage app, developed by the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service in conjunction with the national traveling exhibition "Romare Bearden: A Black Odyssey," was created with Bearden's quote in mind.
With this lively, colorful, and highly engaging app, you can remix works from Bearden's original series to create your own unique works of art, and express your personal journey. Choose from a variety of Bearden’s backdrops and layer in shapes and forms from other collages. Or cut your own shapes, add personal photos, change the colors of various elements and resize them. You can also add your words and your descriptions.
In her coverage of current exhibitions at the National Academy Museum & School, NYC-ARTS anchor Paula Zahn discusses DC Moore Gallery artists Charles Burchfield, Robert Kushner, and Joyce Kozloff (pictured).

A Writers' Celebration of Romare Bearden
with Elizabeth Alexander, Kim Bridgford, Stanley Crouch, Kwame Dawes, Russell Goings, Sarah Lewis, Khalil Gibran Muhammad, John Edgar Wideman and others
92Y Tribeca
Playwright August Wilson praised Romare Bearden for his celebration of “black life presented on its own terms, on a grand and epic scale, with all its richness and fullness, in a language that was vibrant and which, made attendant to everyday life, ennobled it, affirmed its value, and exalted its presence.” In the last year, Bearden’s centenary was marked nationwide with a host of exhibitions and events befitting the legacy of a great American artist. Now the Poetry Center invites creative writers to speak about what his life and art has meant to them. Thanks to Russell Goings, Bearden’s devoted friend, our tribute will also feature a special showing of Bearden’s artwork in 92Y’s Weill Art Gallery.

Watercolors: A Musical Tribute to Charles Burchfield by Nell Shaw Cohen
Saturday · November 10, 2012
12:30 & 2:30PM
Parrish Art Museum, Southampton, NY
Free admission
Composed for wind quintet (flute, oboe, clarinet, horn, and bassoon) by Nell Shaw Cohen in 2011, Watercolors is inspired by the watercolor paintings of Charles Ephraim Burchfield (1893-1967), a visionary American artist who, through his work, dwelled on nature, spirituality, and synesthesia. The four movements of Watercolors correspond to four paintings created between 1916 and 1950: An April Mood, Autumnal Fantasy, Sun and Rocks, and Glory of Spring (Radiant Spring), the latter of which is in the Parrish’s permanent collection. Images of the paintings will be projected during the performance, drawing listeners into the world of the artworks through both sight and sound.
Dear Friends,
As you surely know, Hurricane Sandy's high waters and strong winds inflicted severe damage on a great majority of the galleries in Chelsea. We are grateful our gallery sustained no damage in the storm; however, power is not yet restored to our building and so we must regrettably postpone the opening of Robert Kushner's exhibition scheduled for tomorrow night, Thursday, November 8, as well as our project room exhibition of works on paper by Arpita Singh.
Kushner’s exhibition New Paintings / New Collages and Arpita Singh will instead open next Thursday, November 15th at 535 West 22nd Street from 6 to 8 pm. We anticipate no other interruptions to our 2012/2013 exhibition schedule. We hope you will join us in celebrating Robert Kushner's new work and the revitalization of our vital downtown community.
Later this month, on Thursday, November 29 beginning at 6:30, we will host Robert Kushner in conversation with Irving Sandler and Robert Berlind.
Our thoughts are with all the victims of Hurricane Sandy and our hearts go out to our colleagues and friends who have suffered major losses. Please join us in supporting the city’s and our Chelsea neighborhood’s efforts to rebuild. We encourage you to consider making a contribution to one of our local non-profits, The Kitchen, Primary Information, or Printed Matter, who lost so much.
As our telephone lines are still being repaired, we encourage you to contact us via email at info@dcmooregallery.com.

CHARLES E. BURCHFIELD: FROM NATURE
Friday, July 13–Sunday, October 28, 2012
Burchfield Penney Art Center, Buffalo, NY
The exhibition From Nature focuses on Burchfield’s nature studies and paintings in which certain flowers and trees are central. His naturalist temperament resulted in beautiful studies that concentrate on landscape details. Some of his depictions of wildflowers rival illustrations made by John James Audubon, the Prestele family, James Vick and others who documented plants, birds and insects from both scientific and artistic perspectives. Burchfield, however, usually transposed his botanical studies into more interpretive paintings that expressed his profound appreciation of nature. The exhibition includes watercolors from the Burchfield Penney’s collection, as well as drawings and wallpaper studies from the Charles E. Burchfield Archives that have never been shown before. In addition, several private collectors are lending works for a rare public appearance.
Look for our advertisement featuring the work of Romare Bearden on the back cover of ARTnews Summer 2012.

DC Moore Gallery is pleased to present Joyce Kozloff’s JEEZ for the first time at the main entrance to The Armory Show Modern at Pier 92. JEEZ is a twelve by twelve-foot painting in thirty-six panels based on the Ebstorf map, a 13th-century mappa mundi of the same size painted on thirty sewn goatskins. One of the most famous medieval world maps, destroyed during WWII bombing, the Ebstorf map combined geopolitics, science and theology. It depicted Biblical stories alongside pagan myths within a vision of the world as it was then known. Christ’s body served as both a symbolic and literal frame for the circular map, with his head at the top, his hands at the left and right sides, and his feet at the bottom.

The Contemporary Museum & Honolulu Academy of Arts, Honolulu, HI
Over the course of the past year, as part of The Contemporary Museum’s artist-in-residence program, New York-based artist Darren Waterston made several trips to Hawai‘i, where he hiked on lava flows at Volcanoes National Park and researched past artists’ depictions of and writings on Pele and volcanoes. The result is Forest Eater, his response to the landscape of Hawai‘i and his interest in Pele, Hawaiian goddess of fire, lightning and volcanoes. The two-part exhibition is staged at The Contemporary Museum, Makiki Heights, and at the Honolulu Academy of Arts.
One of the most acclaimed painters of his generation, George Tooker (1920-2011) possessed an originality and depth of vision that is unsurpassed in modern American art. For over sixty years, he has been highly regarded for his luminous and often enigmatic work. His themes range from alienation and the dehumanizing aspects of contemporary society to personal meditations on the human condition. By reducing action and anecdote to subtle gestures and juxtapositions that carry meaning and express essential truths, Tooker created modern allegories without traditional narrative content.
A Memorial Exhibition is currently on view at DC Moore Gallery

The exhibition focuses specifically on the development of Kin, a recent series that is a distillation of the artist's concern with issue of self- and institutional representation. Kin is a series of portrait drawings on paper based on identification documentation such as passport, photo booth, and mug shots. This type of institutional document is designed to represent or classify the sitter in a markedly different manner than the staged photographic portraits Lovell used in other bodies of work. The static positioning, harsh lighting, and blank background that distinguish identification photographs are used by the artist to concentrate on the sitter's face, while his superbly precise draftsmanship allows him to tease out such intangibles as personality and emotional state in deft strokes of conté crayon.

Over the past fifty years, feminists have defied an art world dominated by men, deploying direct action and theory while making fundamental changes in their everyday lives. Shifting the Gaze: Painting and Feminism explores the widespread influence of feminist practice on the styles and methods of painting from the 1960s to the present. The provocative paintings on view here embody the tension between individual expression and collective politics, between a traditional medium and radical action.
DC Moore Gallery is pleased to announce that we are relocating to 535 West 22nd Street. The spacious new gallery opens on January 15, 2011.
The move to a dynamic new location in Chelsea provides DC Moore with the opportunity to expand its ongoing program of concurrently presenting contemporary and 20th century exhibitions. The new space designed by Andrew Ong features two exhibition galleries, including an expansive area with high ceilings that can accommodate large-scale works and a smaller room designed for intimate viewing of paintings and works on paper.

Heat Waves in a Swamp will be the first major Charles Burchfield exhibition to be mounted on the west coast and the first in New York for more than twenty years. Arranged chronologically, it approaches Burchfield’s work with a new perspective facilitated in part by the curatorial sensibilities of Robert Gober. Working with Hammer coordinating curator Cynthia Burlingham, Gober has augmented a large selection of watercolors with the inclusion of extensive biographical material that continually infuses Burchfield’s own thoughts about his work and artistic practice.
