Events at Mike Weiss Gallery (I especially like Yigal Ozeri's work)

Yigal Ozeri / Studio view / 2013

Yigal Ozeri / Untitled; Zuzana (Triptych) (Detail images) / 2013 / Oil on paper mounted on wood / 12 x 55 inches Triads Galerie Brandt, Amsterdam, The Netherlands Opening Through June 30, 2013 Opening yesterday evening to over 600 people, Triads presents a new series of hyper-realistically painted triptychs. Displaying subtle progressions of movement like movie stills frozen in time, each work is instilled with temporal, fleeting qualities, which challenge Ozeri's ritualistic translation of the perfect trinity. Photorealism Revisited: The Louis & Susan Meisel Collection The Butler Institute of American Art, Howland Township, Ohio On View Through September 29, 2013 Highlighting NY gallerist Louis Meisel as the premier arts dealer of photorealism, and for coining the term in 1969, this exhibition includes works by Richard Estes, Chuck Close, Peter Maier, and Yigal Ozeri. Painted Illustions: Hyperrealism 1967-2012 Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum, Madrid, Spain On view Through June 30, 2013 This is the first exhibition in Spain to trace Hyperrealism's development from its beginnings to the present. Encompassing three generations of artists, the show introduces the most important and striking works by leading figures, from Hyperrealism's outset in the 1960s to the contemporary practitioners who work with digital techniques.  Obsession  MANA Contemporary Fine Arts (Jersey City, NJ) Currently On View The Eileen S. Kaminsky Family Foundation presents Obsession, exploring the collections and fervor of five passionate art enthusiasts. Alluding to Eileen's own passion for the process and vision of Yigal Ozeri, her immense collection includes over 80 Ozeri paintings, drawings, and multi-media works.

Hermann Nitsch / 60.Painting Action // 60.Malaktion / Installation view / Mike Weiss Gallery, NY / 2011 Senses and Being-Retro Retrospective & 75th Birthday Celebration Nitsch Museum, Mistelbach, Austria Through Summer 2014 Mike Weiss Galley is proud to have represented world-renowned Viennese action painter Hermann Nitsch for the last 10 years. Pushing the line between video, performance, music, installation, and painting with each exhibition, Nitsch's concept of total art ("Gesamtkunstwerk") has transformed contemporary practices. Exploring existentialism, the intersection of violence and culture, and religious ritual and sacrifice, Nitsch's oeuvre sits at the vanguard of experimental and multimedia modes, and he is considered as one of his generation's greatest artists.  On his 75th birthday, we congratulate him and highlight some of his achievements over the last few years. Happy Birthday from all of us here at Mike Weiss Gallery. 135th Action at the 11th Havana Biennial, Havana, Cuba (2012) Herman Nitsch Structuren, Vienna Leopold Museum, Austria (2011) 60.Painting Action // 60.Malaktion, Mike Weiss Gallery, NY (2011) Bloodlines: Paintings by Hermann Nitsch, Museum of Contemporary Art Denver, CO (2011) Saint François D'Assise, Bavarian State Opera, Munich, Germany (2011) Richard Massey Foundation, New York, NY (2011) A Bigger Splash: Painting After Performance, Tate Modern, London (2011) Staging Action: Performance in Photography since 1960, Museum of Modern Art, New York, NY (2011)

Michael Brown / Studio View / 2013 Mike Weiss Gallery is now formally representing artist Michael Brown, whose inaugural exhibition at the gallery will take place September 2013. Infusing each object with formal qualities of design and delicate minimalism, Brown weaves together science, nature, architecture, industry, and history into harmonious byproduct, producing forms in the vein of arte povera. In his new series of steel and copper sculptures, found objects combine with industrial materials, intuitively forming architectural and model-like sculptures of hollow skeletal forms, each simultaneously mechanistic and organic, abstract but evocative of representation. At age 31, Michael Brown has already been widely exhibited around the world, including New York, Paris, Los Angeles, Ontario, and Belgium. He began to show with galleries Yvon Lambert and Marc Straus in his 20s, and his work has been reviewed in the New York Times, Artforum, and TimeOut New York. Brown is included in prominent public and private collections including the the Beth Rudin deWoody Permanent Collection; the collection of Sherry and Joel Mallin, New York, NY; and the Eileen S. Kaminsky  Family Foundation, Jersey City, NJ.
