The First First Thursday of 2013

RRauschenberg_SamarkandStitchesI_e.jpg
Robert Rauschenberg, Samarkand Stitches I, 1988, Unique screenprint and fabric collage, 61" x 46",


Robert Rauschenberg's longstanding career has doubtlessly had an outstanding affect on artistic production to this day, particularly among artists working with collage. His combines operated between the modes of painting and sculpture and made use of everyday objects that would often literally be placed on the surface of the painting. The exhibition opening at Elizabeth Leach tomorrow showcases his forays into printmaking. These screenprints and lithographs are certainly flatter than the work he's most known for, but they employ a similar chaotic flow of everyday imagery, content, and pattern. His son, Christopher Rauschenberg has a series of photographs depicting witty captured moments in a museum setting that are also exhibited contemporaneously.

Mariana Tres @ Chambers 916

PSU MFA grad Mariana Tres' body of visual works play on the truth value of photography in relation to shared-historical knowledge. This exhibition features work from the playful institution founded by Tres, The Society for Nebulous Knowledge. "'CELESTIAL CLOCKWORK: Herschel McShougle's Dream of Ten Thousand Years' is the sixth major presentation by the Society for Nebulous Knowledge, the quixotic institution Miss Tres oversees. Herschel McShougle’s dream asks us to think deeply into the future. Research for his imaginative decamillenial clock has been recovered and faithfully captured through photography, artifacts and biographical documents for this premiere exhibition. Information will also be available about a present-day manifestation, the 10,000 Year Clock of The Long Now Foundation."

Jesse Hayward @ Nine Gallery

At Nine Gallery, housed within Blue Sky, Jesse Hayward's Such and Such presents a series of abstract paintings that have been orphaned from previous solo shows and developed independently over years. At Bluesky. photographer Andy Freeberg, overwhelmed by the commotion of Art Basel, began to photograph candid dioramas of the gallery booths that illustrate the relationship between the art dealers, patrons, artists and the works they represent. "In Art Fare, Freeberg offers us a wry view of the art industry, capturing dealers and gallery directors in conversation, negotiation, and transacting the business of art. Art Fare examines art fairs for what they are: a lot of people standing around, oftentimes not even looking at art."
