Girls Only: India

Girls Only is thrilled to announce an exhibition celebrating the work of 15 contemporary female artists working in India. Spanning photography, performance, installation, sculpture, film, video, written word, textiles, drawing and painting, this exhibition seeks to demonstrate the staggering capacity that, while considerably and comparably underrepresented, young women remain at the forefront of radical art practice in India today.


Beginning as a studio residency program in New York, with five consecutive shows in London as well as an experimental exhibition/installation in Copenhagen, Girls Only has been supporting, celebrating and promoting the work of young female artists since its inception in 2014. Girls Only locates its genesis in the imbalance of representation of women in exhibitions and galleries, however resists reduction to a reactionist statement that could potentially reaffirm or reposition the binary between sexes in the arts. Girls Only pursues equality between female and male artists by seeking to level the playing field: seeing a drought in opportunities for the former, it aims at providing precisely the space, time, and occasion for these to materialise.

Girls Only will be hosted by Ministry of New, a design-inspired collaborative workspace for independent professionals looking to be part of an international, creative community.

This exhibition will travel to London to be on view at Cob Gallery in London during summer 2016.

Justine Rivas at The Valley

Installation view: Justine Rivas, How to Carry a Cloud. Photo courtesy of The Valley   Justine Rivas: How to Carry a Cloud Up through August 7, 2021 The Valley 1800 Camino del La Placita, Unit D Taos, NM 87571 From the Press Release: The Valley is pleased to present its first solo exhibition with Los Angeles-based painter Justine Rivas . The exhibition, titled  How to carry a cloud,  includes a series of new paintings that explore hidden sources of water in the desert landscape. Rivas uses clouds and creosote bushes as metaphors for the interconnected sources of life-giving moisture in arid regions. Both reflect water stored in the land and the air, deceptively close and yet inaccessible. Cloud forms appear across several works, oscillating between pattern and landscape. As above, so below- creosote in its various forms appear as a familiar and familial plant speaking to the artists’ connection to the desert landscape, her family has lived in the borderlands since t...

Current Show at Galerie Victor Sfez - On View Through April 23

EXHIBITION OF 19 MARCH TO 23 April 2016 DANIEL G. HILL develops a sensitive geometry. He chooses fragile materials that he weaves, knots, suspends, sometimes playing with the influence of gravity, which he uses to his advantage. A keen observer, he seizes the moment and the detail to create work of unusual and poetic balance. JOCELYNE SANTOS is a color magician. As much in her paintings as in her sculptures, contrasting tones are juxtaposed with harmony, giving birth to unexpected chromatic variations. We never complete our discovery of her palette. New nuances invite surprise, illusions dazzle our eyes, and that which is hidden in the work ends up being its main concern. SHAWN STIPLING works with perception. Space is always present, suggested by clever crossings and misleading offsets that generate new virtual planes. The simplicity of his line is only an appearance: executed by hand, it still takes on a deliberately mechanical look. Confiding to us, the ...

Brenda Goodman @ Life on Mars

  Installation view with Almost a Bride , 2015 (rt.)   Almost a Bride , 2015, oil on wood, 80 x 72 in. Almost a Bride , 2015 (detail) Brenda Goodman continues to plumb the depths of her own, as well as our collective unconscious in this staggering exhibition of major, new paintings.  Goodman, once again presents a very personal narrative brought to life through intimate and unexampled forms that are both guarded, and set afloat by a limited palette of muted and gemlike colors. Brenda Goodman: New Work is on view through April 19 when Life on Mars will present an Artist's Talk between Goodman and the poet and critic John Yau. The event will be moderated by Michael David and will take place between 2 - 4 PM. For more images follow the link below . . . .
