Tanya Gill interviews Mumbai artist Manish Nai at Kavi Gupta\\u2019s Elizabeth street space as he prepares for his June 6th opening. This is Manish Nai\\u2019s debut solo exhibition in the United States. He is using this opportunity to create wall murals and a compressed jute sculpture just for the space. The media used in Nai\\u2019s work are both humble and quintessentially Indian. He transforms everyday materials, such as newspapers or clothes, through labor-intensive processes. The result is a very personal translation of time. For more information on the exhibit visit www.kavigupta.com.

Big news! ACRE is moving to a bigger and better location!
As you mayknow, ACRE has been operating out of my storefront apartment since its inception in 2010.\\xa0I started searching for a new home for ACRE last spring\\xa0and found a building in Pilsen that is absolutely perfect for us. A former funeral home, large enough for us to expand into over time and featuring remarkable restored historic elements, the building is an ideal base of operations for our growing organization.
\\xa0
\\nYou are among the first to know, and I am reaching out to you for help making our ambitious vision a reality. ACRE has already received a generous donation to cover a portion of the building renovation cost. In addition, we are launching a Kickstarter Campaign to raise the remaining $20,000 needed to realize our plans for the new space. We are hopeful that our campaign, which was specially selected by Art Basel\\u2019s Crowdfunding jury, will garner both financial and community support for the project. We softly launched our fundraiser today and will begin promoting the campaign publicly on May 25th.
Due to your valuable and continued support of our organization, I am hoping that you may be able to make a contribution of at least $100 during the lead up to our public launch. If you are able, I ask that you please contribute between now and the 25th. Your contribution will make an even greater impact if made at this time, as it will help us to build momentum for the campaign\\u2019s launch and indicate to future donors that there is enthusiasm for the project.
Here\\u2019s a direct link to ACRE\\u2019s Campaign: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1569629484/help-build-acres-new-home-in-chicago
\\xa0
\\nI sincerely hope you will consider helping ACRE take this crucial step in our development. I\\u2019ve always felt that ACRE has an uncanny knack for being able to accomplish a lot with very little. I can\\u2019t wait to show you what we are capable of with a new and improved home base.
\\n\\xa0
\\nSincerely and With Great Excitement,
Emily
PS- If you are interested in making a significant contribution outside of the campaign please feel free to contact me.

NYC/Browder talks to Brooklyn based artist\\xa0Justin\\xa0Cooper. Post a few deadpan jokes, and moments of spacing out...(edited of course) \\xa0we discuss his history of his work, and his installationSpreadsheet,\\xa0and performance\\xa0Mowers of Ten\\xa0presented by the Art-In-Buildings program, and Monique Meloche Gallery. The project is in conjunction with The Armory Show that is going on next week.\\xa0
\\n\\xa0
\\nEmploying a strategy of "endless introducing,"\\xa0Cooper\\xa0plays both host and hosted,\\xa0in an effort to eradicate\\xa0the line between these two states. With the classic Charles and Ray Eames film,\\xa0Powers of Ten,\\xa0as inspiration, and\\xa0Cooper\'s installation,\\xa0Spreadsheet\\xa0serving as a backdrop, the performance aggregates comedic bits, routines, acts, sound fragments, free floating signifiers, and chains of non sequitors systematized into miniature narratives,\\xa0into a simulation of comedy. Like "Friends" minus the laugh track or AstroTurf as a surrogate for suburban lawn,\\xa0Mowers of\\xa0Ten,\\xa0highlights the impossibility of\\xa0reconciling the intellectual with the visceral. "I know this isn\'t funny...and yet." "I know this isn\'t grass...and yet."

Here is info on some of the cool stuff AB is about these days:
\\n\\nMagic Chromacity -
Amanda Browder was commissioned by the Department of Art and Art History and The Alys Stephens Center at University of Alabama at Birmingham to create a large scale fabric installation on the two buildings. Lauren Garber Lake is the director of the Art and Art History Dept who helped bring Amanda.
She had numerous public sewing days and a ton of fabric was donated by the people of Birmingham to sew the over 10,000 square feet of fabric in the project.
Sewing Days - many people from the community and specifically the Bib & Tucker Sewing Co-op that is run by Lillis Taylor who is interviewed today on BAS.
Magic = Magic City (Birmingham nickname)
Chroma + City (color + city)
It was up on Aug 29th on the Abroms Engel Institute for the Visual Art building and The Alys Stephens Center. These buildings were across the street from each other.
Amanda has made a print for the project . It is made with the help of Doug Barrett, Associate prof of Graphic Design from UAB who is also interviewed.

Triumvirate!
at the Pelham Arts Center, Pelham NY
This will be an outdoor installation with fabric. The piece is a more energtic and vivacious piece compared to previous pieces. It works with the triangle forms and is also made from the donations at Pelham. This piece will be up Nov 14th.
More about Triumvirate!
November 14, 2014 \\u2013 January 3, 2015
Triumvirate! is a multi-colored site-specific fabric installation that will hang on the facade of the Pelham Art Center, in Pelham NY. Using donated fabrics from Pelham and the surrounding areas, Triumvirate! will be a visual statement that buildings are not separate from the democratic life and spirit of the community.
The piece, referencing the three dimensional rectangular building, will be constructed from fabric donated by the residents of Pelham and assembled in public sewing day workshops. The immutable scale of the building is dramatized by the scale and independence of the triangles as well as the dimensional ambiguity of the fabric. The design creates a \\u201cshock of the new\\u201d with both color and form. As a collective we will rejoice in how something as small as a piece of discarded fabric can be rebuilt into an energetic architectural installation.

This week: Brian and Patricia head up to wine country to imbibe\\u2014if you will\\u2014one of the most unique public collections of art in California. Sited on over 200 extraordinary acres of vineyard, gardens, and natural landscape in the Carneros region of the Napa Valley, di Rosa originated as the shared vision of Rene and Veronica di Rosa, prolific collectors whose personal passion for art and adventuresome spirits fueled their support of art and artists. Their home and the famed vineyards around Winery Lake became the focal point not only for their life and a noted gathering place for artists, but the development of the art collection that is now housed in three buildings, both contemporary and historic, as well as on the surrounding landscape.
\\nConsidered the most significant holding of Bay Area art in the world, di Rosa houses approximately 2,000 works of art by more than 800 artists. Our friends at Art Practical\\xa0are the lucky recipients of a year-long writing residency at di Rosa, and Patricia shares some of the insights she\\u2019s gleaned in her weekly forays. In this episode\\u2019s conversation, she and Brian meander through the residence and main gallery with Amy Owen, Curator, and Meagan Doud, Curatorial Assistant, reflecting on the collection, its history, and the bucolic landscape surrounding them. The serenity of the setting was only disrupted by the potential for lingering aftershocks following the 6.1 earthquake that hit the area early Sunday morning, August 24. di Rosa was the closest cultural center to the epicenter in downtown Napa, and while the buildings were unscathed, about 10% of the work on view (3% of the collection) sustained some damage. Generous efforts are underway to support the repair and restoration of the collection; you can learn more here about how you can help out!

Subject: This weeks "show"
-------
\\nDear Duncan,
\\n\\xa0
\\nIn 458 weeks we have generated some good interviews, some bad interviews, some memorable, some forgettable, but this week is something new.
\\n\\xa0
\\nThe audio you sent me, which I *think* was supposed to be an interview about the truly interesting End/Spring Break project with some combination of \\xa0the artists Domingo Castillo, Patti Hernandez and/or Kathryn Marks along with BAS reporters Dana B. Brian A, and Patricia M, joining you for the fun, is, if presented as an interview, not an interview. What I have is the equivilant of sticking a tape recorder behind the bar on "free demerol night" and letting it roll.. It is more sound art than interview and is admittedly in moments damn funny. Have you seen "Party Monster"?
\\n\\xa0
\\nThis is all a lead up to saying, "I\'m not fucking editing this mess, I\'m running it raw", which is a rare moment of prophetic skill, I predicted would be my reaction when we talked about it while recording the intro.
\\n\\xa0
\\nI can\'t make heads or tails of it all despite serious effort, and there are some funny and interesting moments, though I have cursed your name at great length and had to run out for extra voodoo doll pins, I will admit the audio is in line with the spirit of the project.
\\n\\xa0
\\nI will direct all negligent infliction of emotional distress inquiries to you at home once they flood the mailbox.
\\n\\xa0
\\nYou take the good, you take the bad, you take them both and there you have; this hour of audio.
\\n\\xa0
\\nRH
\\n\\xa0
\\nPS: If problems result I suggest we go with "Strategem #27 \'Blame Dana B\'" I\'ve drawn up the papers and hired the cleaning crew.

\\nThen a conversation with Oliver Warden about his project Globall!
\\n\\nGLOBALL is a new take on a social network created as a work of art by artist Oliver Warden.
"Basically, I want to pass seven wooden balls, one for each letter in GLOBALL, hand to hand, person to person, around the world.
On each of these wooden balls will be the instructions of what to do with it in multiple languages (three different ones for each ball) and in pictograms. When you receive a GLOBALL:
1. Take a picture of yourself with it and send the picture, your first name, your location and the time to our website www.wheresgloball.com.
2. Once on the website you can fill out a profile. There you can share your experience, connect with other GLOBALLers and follow your ball on its journey.
3. You\\u2019ll then be asked to pass the GLOBALL to a VERY GOOD FRIEND and explain the instructions.
Hopefully as each ball travels, everyone will think about words such as \'share\' and \'friend\' and \'follow\'. With a little luck, each GLOBALL will go on a voyage of friendship and connectivity around the world."

The economic crisis that we face today has also become a major crisis for representative democracy. The very idea of the modern nation state is in jeopardy as the deterritorialized flow of finance capital melts down all that was once solid into raw material for market speculation. It is the social order itself, and the very notion of governance with its archaic promise of security and happiness that has become another kind of modern ruin.
\\nIt\\u2019s the Political Economy, Stupid brings together an international group of artists who focus on the current crisis in a sustained and critical manner. Rather than acquiesce to the current calamity, this exhibition asks if it is not time to push back against the disciplinary dictates of the capitalist logic and, by use of artistic means, launch a rescue of the very notion of the social itself.
\\nThe Austrian Cultural Forum New York is pleased to present this new group exhibition which was curated by the Austrian-American team of Oliver Ressler and Gregory Sholette. The show derives its title from the slogan which in the early 1990s came to define then presidential candidate Bill Clinton\\u2019s campaign, \\u201cIt\\u2019s the economy, stupid\\u201d.
\\n
PRESS QUOTES:
"In the wake of the capitalist crisis, very few cultural institutions have dared to address the horrors of greed that plague us in such a direct and haunting way as the Austrian Cultural Forum." - Alexander Cavaluzzo, Hyperallergic.com, Feb. 13, 2012
\\n"Curated by Gregory Sholette and Oliver Ressler, this is a good old political exhibition, full of sarcasm, hope, protest, and information." - William Corwin, Saatchi Online Magazine, Feb. 21, 2012
\\nA "confrontational, intellectual, and occasionally amusing group show, which squarely aligns itself with the Occupy movement." -\\xa0Robert Shuster, The Village Voice, Feb. 8, 2012
\\n"Curated by Oliver Ressler and Gregory Sholette, this is a smart exhibition that I suspect will be preaching to the converted, but in style.\\xa0 [...] \\xa0This is the gallery version of Occupy Wall Street." - Andrea Kirsh, Feb. 14, 2012, theartblog.org
\\n"Visible from the sidewalk on a block that the Austrian Cultural Forum shares with Cartier, Ferragamo and Tourneau, the work [by Dread Scott] affirms a disheartening truth about the cultural mindset this well-curated exhibition aims to critique: many would prefer to see their money burn than have it distributed equitably." -David Markus, Art in America, Mar. 28, 2012
\\n"Ressler\\u2019s and Sholette\\u2019s show does indeed achieve its objectives, occupying the Austrian Cultural Forum through a diverse range of artworks stemming from the 2008 crisis of finance capitalism. It does so principally by drawing together a selection of works which both educate and entertain, offering invaluable information and welcome critical reflection." - Thom Donovan, Art:21 Blog, Apr. 16, 2012

This week: Our faithful correspondent Patricia Maloney sat down with former US Congressman Pat Williams and his son Griff Willams at Gallery 16 in San Francisco earlier this month to discuss the turbulence of the Culture Wars during the late \'80s and early \'90s. Patricia finally learned how legislating works in a conversation that ran the gamut from explaining Piss Christ to conservative parents and why Poker Jim Butte is the best place to catch some Shakespeare to how the NEA is vital to cultural production in rural communities and why now might be the moment to demand the return of federal grants for individual artists.
\\n\\xa0
\\nRep. Pat Williams, who served Montana as its U.S. Congressman for nine terms, from 1979-1997, was Chairman of the House Committee that oversaw fiscal authorization for the NEA. He was one of the most vocal champions for Federal Arts Funding and has been credited for saving the NEA at a time when it was threatened with extermination by the religious Right. When the National Endowment for the Arts came under attack for subsidizing what some legislators considered sexually explicit art, Williams led the fight to save the agency. \\u201cAs long as the federal government can support the arts without interfering with their content, government can indeed play a meaningful part in trying to encourage the arts,\\u201d Williams told The New York Times. \\u201cThe genius of the NEA has been that the peer- review panels, made up of local folks, chose art and artists by using criteria based upon quality and excellence, never touching subject matter.\\u201d

This week: Duncan\\nleads a panel discussion on the the state of painting and current MCA\\nexhibition Constellations: Paintings from the MCA Collection(which closes\\nOctober 18th!) the panel consists of Artists Vera Klement and Wesley Kimler,\\nArtletter.com\'s Paul Klein and exhibition curator Julie Rodrigues Widholm!
\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nStolen liberally\\nfrom the MCA website:
This exhibition\\nexplores various approaches to painting and how it communicates\\nideas about life and art from the 1940s to the present. Arranged in a series of\\nconstellations, or groupings, the exhibition highlights for the first time the\\nMCA Collection\'s particular strengths in this medium. Augmented by major works\\nfrom important private collections to fill gaps in the MCA Collection and to\\nprovide examples of recent works made during the last few years, the exhibition\\nincludes work by approximately 75 of the most important artists of the last\\nsixty years including Chuck Close, Andy Warhol, Gerhard Richter, Jasper Johns,\\nLari Pittman, Rudolf Stingel, Clare Rojas, Laura Owens, Josef Albers, Rene\\nMagritte, Francis Bacon, Brice Marden, Caroll Dunham, Thomas Scheibitz, Jean\\nDubuffet, Sherrie Levine, Jules Olitski, Kenneth Noland, Sigmar Polke, Rebecca\\nMorris, Roberto Matta, and Yves Tanguy, among others. Featured Chicago artists\\ninclude Angel Otero, Wesley Kimler, Kerry James Marshall,\\nJudy Ledgerwood, Scott Reeder, Michelle Grabner, Marie Krane Bergman, and Vera\\nKlement.
\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nThis exhibition\\nexplores questions about the current state and future of painting by\\ncreating a dialogue with works from the past. These conversations within each\\nsection stimulate ideas about painting that are not limited to chronology or\\nspecific art historical narratives, but follow lines of thought. Within the\\nexhibition, the constellations aim to make connections through the various\\ninterests, positions, styles, and histories that artists address within their\\napproach to painting. For example, Constellations explores approaches to the landscape\\nand figure, so-called "bad" painting, appropriation and collage in\\npainting, the critique of illusion in painting, form and color, and paintings\\nthat exist in-between representation and abstraction.
\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nAll of the works\\nin this exhibition are united by the use of paint, a brush, and a support to\\nemphasize the complex and varied manner in which artists use similar materials.\\nThis exhibition does not seek to redefine what can be considered a painting,\\nbut rather examines how it endures as a vibrant art form, more than 100 years\\nafter it was proclaimed "dead" at the advent of photography. Clearly\\nthere is no correct way, which is why painting continues to be a source of\\nstimulating conversation and debate. From the perspective of the artist and\\nviewer, painting is a subjective experience.
\\n\\n\\n\\nThis exhibition\\nis organized by Julie Rodrigues Widholm, Pamela Alper Associate\\nCurator.

\\n
\\nArtists Run Chicago is an exhibition showcasing the energy and audacity of some\\nof the most noteworthy artist-run spaces that have influenced the Chicago\\ncontemporary art scene over the past decade. Chicago has long been known for\\ncultivating a strong entrepreneurial/Do-It-Yourself spirit in business and the\\narts. The participating artist-run venues have transformed storefronts, sheds,\\napartments, lofts, industrial warehouses, garages and roving spaces into\\ncontemporary art galleries testing the notion of \\u201cexhibition\\u201d while\\ncomplicating the definition of art. Coinciding with the Hyde Park Art Center\\u2019s\\n70th anniversary, Artists Run Chicago reconnects the Art Center to its\\nbeginnings as an artist-run space by showcasing spaces that continue the\\nlegacy.

This week: Duncan and guest host Randall Szott talk to the fine folks from InCubate. After that interesting interview we flush the whole effing thing down the toilet by reviewing Harry Potter the Exhibition, where porno and Matthew Barney are discussed.
About InCUBATE (from their website):
\\nIn ways that have only become possible in the past few years, artist\\ncollectives and experimental institutions have begun to actively re-imagine\\nalternate art worlds and alternative forms of curatorial practice in\\nan attempt to disengage from the more traditional strategies governing today\\u2019s\\nart market.
\\n\\n\\nInCUBATE is a research institute dedicated to challenging current\\ninfrastructures, specifically how they affect artistic production. As art\\nhistorians and arts administrators, our goal is to explore the possibility of\\ndeveloping financial models that could be relevant to contemporary art\\ninstitutions, as well as collective or individual artist projects working\\noutside an institution. Particularly, we are exploring financial models which\\nare less constrained by external controls and market concerns and which are\\nmore effective, more realistic, and more relevant to both art and the everyday.\\nOur goal is to continue to conceptualize new possible situations, document\\nthese innovations, and make this information available to everyone.
\\n\\n\\nInCUBATE does not have non-profit status, instead we see our role as\\nexploring new possibilities outside of the traditional models of 501c3 tax\\nexempt status. We are interested in creating a network of opportunities and\\ncreative discussions, as well as sharing resources for creative urban and\\ncommunity planning and self-sustaining situations for art production. These\\nactivities include investigating current practices in public/private\\nsponsorships for arts organizations, debating the pros and cons of\\nincorporating as a non-profit, alternative means for financing\\n\\u2018under-the-radar\\u2019 arts projects, and hosting exhibitions and symposiums to\\nspark public discussion.
\\n\\n\\nCentered in a storefront space adjacent to Chicago\\u2019s historic Congress\\nTheater, we consider our location to be an integral part of our activities and\\nmission. We are interviewing local artists, curators, organizers, and\\ncollectives whose thinking extends beyond traditional modes of production and\\ndistribution. These discussions will be made public in order to start an open\\nsource of information-sharing about processes and strategies. While exploring\\nour own process of becoming a research institute, we will also become a\\nresource for others, which will manifest in various on-going projects.
\\n\\n\\nOne of these projects aims to assist the production of future projects.\\nThrough using the open source software MediaWiki, InCUBATE plans to create a\\nwiki that will function to collect information for projects, collect historical\\nand contemporary data about discursive art making, as well as information\\ndirected by the wiki users.

First, Duncan and\\nRichard present a horribly off-track intro which consists largely of talk of\\nherpes and sleeping around. Eventually they get around to discussing what is\\nreally important, this week\\u2019s show!
\\n\\n\\n\\xa0
\\n\\n\\nSteve Litsios, an\\nartist from La Chaux-de-Fonds in the French-speaking part of Switzerland, is\\ninterviewed this week by Mark Staff Brandl. Litsios is known for his vast paper\\ninstallations, wall objects, smaller sculpture, and web-work, all of which are\\nelegant, restrained, and yet puckish in their surprising flirtation with\\nelements of garishness. His work has recently begun to incorporate political\\ncontent into his formerly abstract approach. The artist also plays in several\\nroots blues and skiffle bands.
\\n\\n\\n\\xa0
\\n\\n\\nThen, in the\\nclosing, Duncan calls out Joseph Mohan. Other wackiness ensues.

\\nwhat great work she does.
Next: From\\nNYC! The Amanda Browder Show features three conversations from the Volta Art\\nFair - NY 2009. Amanda talks with Noah Singer of Imperfect Articles (Chicago),\\nTracy Candido and Tara Strickstein of Sweet Tooth of the Tiger (NYC) and Joshua\\nCallaghan (LA). All three discuss the hardships of being stuck in a booth all\\nweekend on what happened to be one of the sunniest days all winter.

Holla! NYC correspondents Amanda\\nBrowder and Tom Sanford hang out with artist Michael Anderson in his Harlem\\nstudio. Born in the Bronx in 1968, Mr. Anderson began his artistic career\\nfusing\\xa0painting and collage but has concentrated on collage since the early\\n1990s. Since that time his materials have consisted\\xa0solely of posters and\\nbillboards found on the streets of international cities and physically torn\\ndown by the artist. (text from Michael\'s Blog). To prep you when you go see\\nMichael\'s show at Marlborough Gallery in Chelsea which opened on March 26th,\\n2009, Tom and Amanda talk to Michael about his work and end the conversation\\nwith a boxing match, as a way to get out their inner feelings. Michael watches\\nin fear....or is it hilarity!\\xa0\\xa0
