36 Cats & A Striped Pussy
A.I.R. Gallery's 10th Biennial "36 Cats and one stripe pussy"
A.I.R. Gallery
111 Front Street, Suite 228, Brooklyn
December 6, 2012 - January 5, 2013
Reception: Thursday, December 6, 6:00 PM
Throughout A.I.R gallery's history, many emerging and mid-career women artists have found a venue for showcasing new works in A.I.R's various exhibition programs, such as the Biennial. This year, the 10th Biennial: "36 Cats and one stripe pussy" is an exhibition of work by thirty-six women artists from the United States and abroad of diverse backgrounds.
In speaking about the Feminist aspect of the exhibition, the curator, Ingrid Schaffner, responds, " Is there something inherently Feminist about the juried exhibition? As a juror/curator you start with a vast number of different kinds of work submitted through an open call that is further democratized by having no names or other signifying clues as to an artist's identity, origin, or affiliation. Destabilizing and potentially productive, this process allows the curator to operate free of dominant paradigms and values. Of course the fact that all the artists in the A.I.R. Biennial are women is far less compelling than the imaginative power and politics of inclusion and disruption that continue to make Feminism such a formidable cultural force."
Curated by: Ingrid Schaffner

New York's Paper Chase
Works on (with) Paper
511 Gallery
252 Seventh Avenue, Suite 12J
Chelsea
December 5, 2012 - January 31, 2013
Reception: Wednesday, December 5, 6 - 8 PM
511 Projects is pleased to announce the exhibition, Works on (with) Paper – drawings, etchings, screenprints, monoprints, watercolor paintings, digital prints, and book art by fifteen artists – emerging, mid-career, and established – whose work represents not only a full range of drawing instruments but also varied approaches to consideration of the basic support of the artwork itself (paper). Many of the works on view in the show illustrate a newly informed usage of paper as an important and active part of the art object: paper is seen as equal to any implement used in the making of the work.
“Anything on a surface has space behind it,” wrote Donald Judd in his article, “Specific Objects.” Judd was writing about painting and sculpture, but his assertion holds true for even the supposedly flattest surface of all, that is, paper.
511 Projects is the curatorial practice of 511 Gallery, which organizes exhibitions for museums, art centers, corporate spaces, and other venues.
Featuring: Allen Blagden, Ralston Crawford, Robert Kirschbaum, Leslie Lerner, Caitlin Masley, Joanna McClure, Jennifer Odem, Lesley Punton, Ross Racine, Susanne Ramsenthaler, Mary Reilly, Larry Rivers, Alex Schuchard, and Viviane Silvera.
