Summer Fling – The Barn Show @ Johannes Vogt, Jul 9 – 31

8 July 2016

The Summer Fling – The Barn Show group exhibition is on at East Hampton, NY, hosted by New York’s Johannes Vogt, opening July 9 and running to July 31.

Featuring work by the likes of Leah Schrager, Rafael Rozendaal, Ryder Ripps, Giovanna Olmos, Yung Jake, Michael Manning, Erika Ceruzzi and Greg Ito among others, the press release describes the show as a “short but intense affair”, perhaps mirroring the image culture it aims to represent via the object making methodologies of 20 multimedia artists.

This will be the second iteration of Summer Fling – The Barn Show, held in a historic barn in the East End village, with its exact location revealed via email at deanna@johannesvogt.nyc or direct message @johannesvogtnyc on Instagram.  There will be a range of works and media on exhibit, including those by American Artist, Jordan Kasey, Talia Link, Saskia Friedrich, Mario Navarro, Margaux Ogden, Umar Rashid, Rebecca Ward and more, all “translating digital tools into contemporary storytelling”.

home school @ Composition gallery, Nov 27

27 November 2015

A free pop-up art school called home school is launching at Portland’s Composition Gallery on November 27.

Hosted by manuel arturo abreu and Victoria Anne Reis, the event has been organised to encourage “critical engagement with contemporary art and its issues” within an open and welcoming environment, and to provide a deeper understanding of “the casual rigor of the etymological origin of ‘school’.”

The programme includes an exhibition by Reis, abreu and Taj Bourgeois, and improvised performance by Eleanor Ford, a screening of Hamishi Farah‘s ‘marginal aesthetics’ (2014) video, music by Eric Fury, a poetry duet by Reis and Giovanna Olmos, and more.

See the home school website for details.**
