FAHAMU PECOU
"Do or Die: Affect, Ritual, Resistance"
The Halsey Institute of Contemporary Art
Charleston, South Carolina
August 26th - October 8, 2016
Solo exhibition exploring the current state of Black existence - life and death - today. The show serves as one artist's action in opposition to the overwhelming societal forces, seeking instead to elevate and re-contextualize Black life and death.
Through performance, painting, drawing and video Fahamu Pecou reframes our view, incorporating references from Yoruba/ Ifa ritual to cultural retentions of hip-hop to the philosophy of Négritude, and through this shapes a story that seeks to affirm life via an understanding of the balance between life and death.

"Self Portraits: 2005-2009"
Leslie Lohman Museum of Gay & Lesbian Art
Wooster Street Window Gallery
26 Wooster St., New York, NY
August 14 - November 4, 2016
Through the reflection on and use of traditional portraiture, Cobi Moules creates a space for personal significance and a trans and queer presence. The repetition of the self-- portrait becomes a way of both documentation as well as aggrandizing singular moments within a larger process of transition. Each portrait, with new physical changes and subtle internal shifts, exists as a singular direct monument within a larger group of time and progression.

"Hard to Believe: Visual Illusions of Reality"
Bridgeport Art Center
Chicago, IL
August 19 - September 30th, 2016
This group exhibition of hyper-realism features art work by nine artists who have been accepted into Bridgeport Art Center's Annual Art Competitions over the past four years, including several award-winners. These artists create paintings and drawings that are so skillfully representational that it is difficult to distinguish them from photographs. The exhibit naturally raises questions about the effect of photography on fine art, the definition of "realism" in art, and why such art is so popular.
Featuring Anthony Adcock, Javier Chavira, Jennifer Cronin, Tracy Frein, Russell Harris, Roland Kulla, Jack Nixon, Kyle Surges and Zespo

"Representing Rainbows"
GP Presents
24 East 78th Street, New York, NY
August 22 - October 8, 2016

Their representation of rainbows encapsulates the essence of aesthetic experience and the artistic journey.
Artists include Olivia Booth, Katherine Bradford, G. Davis Cathcart, Tim Davis, Annie Ewaskio, Barbara Friedman, Anoka Faruqee, Elliott Green, Joanne Greenbaum, Stefanie Gutheil, Trenton Doyle Hancock, Julie Heffernan, Laurie Hogin, Lisa Hoke, David Humphrey, Jon Kessler & Mika Rottenberg, Todd Knopke, Siobahn McBride, James Rieck, Ugo Rondinone, Michele Rosenberg, Lisa Sanditz, Judith Simonian, Elena Sisto, Shinique Smith, Barbara Takenaga, Robin Tewes, Jonathan Tracy, Catalina Viejo Lopez de Roda, Leslie Wayne, Jess Willa Wheaton, and Jeremy Willis.

We are pleased to present our first solo exhibition with Alex Couwenberg.Couwenberg's work references his Los Angeles roots and suggests the aesthetic associated with car culture, surfboards, skateboards, and modernist design. Through a series of additive and reductive moves and passes, he harnessing his ideas into harmonious compositions that communicate the visual landscape of his environment. Couwenberg blends his hard-edged painting process with his modernist sensibilities, creating multilayered and multidimensional works that are deeply personal but universally sensual.
