Josephine Meckseper solo exhibition at the Migros Museum, Zurich
1 Jan 2009
February 21 – May 3, 2009
Josephine Meckseper has pursued the capitalist-critique approach of recent years with subject areas agitating around the Iraq war and the oil industry with all their inherent economic and socio-political implications, in particular regarding the automobile industry. The exhibition in the Migros Museum für Gegenwartskunst is to display a new series of works developed from this context. Meckseper’s object arrangements recall the window displays of department stores and expensive boutiques, re-contextualizing the exhibited objects: the shibboleths are ascribed a new significance – from now on a consumerist lifestyle posture.

Carl Ostendarp at The RISD Museum of Art, Providence, RI
1 Jan 2009
February 13 – August 23, 2009
The RISD Museum of Art presents Carl Ostendarp, "Pulled Up," an exhibition in its Lower Farago Gallery that not only borrows its title but also its optimism from the 1977 Talking Heads song of the same name. "Pulled Up" will feature works chosen by the artist from the Museum's collection together with new paintings of his own. During a visit to view the collections, Ostendarp was drawn to works on paper by a range of master artists in styles as varied as Dada and Surrealism to Abstract Expressionism, Minimalism, and Pop. In the completed installation, these works from the collection will be juxtaposed with two new paintings by the artist and hung on a two-color, drip-pattern mural designed by Ostendarp and painted by him with the assistance of several RISD graduate students. The works from the collection range from Odilon Redon, Hans Arp, and Joan Miró, to Adolph Gottlieb, Barnett Newman, Roy Lichtenstien, Andy Warhol, John Wesley, and Ed Ruscha, among others.

Renée Green solo project at the National Maritime Museum, London
1 Jan 2009
January 22 – April 21, 2009
Endless Dreams and Water Between is a project by the artist Renée Green, commissioned by the National Maritime Museum. The material cultures of maritime history are intertwined with desires and dreams that are carried across the oceans through experience, representation, misrepresentation and projections of past and present. This exhibition pays attention to the varied ways cultures perceive and conceive of the world. These understandings and perceptions are developed through struggles for happiness, the imaginary, systems for comprehension and dreams, as well as by the pursuit of these very desires. Renée Green has consistently returned to ideas of time and the sea throughout her artistic practice. Endless Dreams and Water Between intertwines these stories of relationships to water and islands with fictional accounts of contemporary island inhabitants and voyagers. Crossing the Mediterranean Sea, Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, as well as the Hudson River, San Francisco Bay and the waters of the Balearic Islands, these journeys point to the assumptions, understandings and creation of island-ideas and idea-islands.

Alex Bag solo debut at the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York
1 Jan 2009
January 9 through April, 2009
For her first solo New York museum presentation, Alex Bag debuts a newly commissioned video installation inspired by a popular and progressive 1970s children’s syndicated television show, "The Patchwork Family," on which the artist's mother appeared as host. Continuing her commentary on contemporary media culture that has characterized her work to date, Bag reimagines the earlier TV show, in a darkly satiric existential vein, populating her audience with real-life kids. The children are regaled by-and react to- the show’s special guests, an assortment of characters including an animal wrangler, a Desert Storm vet troubadour, and others. The work goes on view in the Anne & Joel Ehrenkranz Lobby Gallery beginning January 9, 2009.
