New York, NY | Gallery Tuesdays | Tour of "Robin Coste Lewis: Intimacy"
2023-06-06 17:30 - 19:00 (America/New_York) | Marion Goodman Gallery, 24 W 57th St, New York, NY, 10019
Join ArtTable at the Marian Goodman Gallery for a bespoke viewing of Intimacy, a moving-image and sound film by Robin Coste Lewis. We’ll meet Marian Goodman Gallery Managing Partner Emily-Jane Kirwan at 5:30 pm for a talk—and enjoy a glass of wine, courtesy of the gallery—and start the film at 6 pm.

A single-channel video projection with sound, the installation features projected images from a selection of 66 photographs representing a modern 20th-Century photographic archive depicting the Lewis family and their friends. The trove of portraits, discovered by Lewis approximately 25 years ago in the home of her maternal grandmother, Dorothy Mary Coste Thomas Brooks, are sepia, tintypes, color and black-and-white pictures that recount the history of the Lewis family and circle.

The Lewis family, along with millions of other Americans, fled the Southern States of America in the 20th Century as part of the Great Migration west, in search of a place devoid of racism, injustice, and white terrorism. With the upheaval of forced migration, and concomitant scattering of a family unit and dispersal of possessions, the existence of this deep collection of photographic images represents a distinctive vernacular collection, especially notable for its volume, rarity and joyful, private sentiment.

Robin Coste Lewis (b. 1964, Compton, California) is the former poet laureate for the city of Los Angeles, where she now lives and works. In 2015, her first book of poems, Voyage of the Sable Venus, which examined the fraught history of art, gender, and race, won The National Book Award in poetry, marking the first time a debut by an African American had ever won the prize in the Foundation’s history, and the first time a debut collection of poetry had won the award since 1974. The images in Intimacy also appear in her new book of poetry, To the Realization of Perfect Helplessness (2022), published by Knopf, which recently won an NAACP Award in Poetry and PEN Award in poetry.Lewis received her Bachelor of Art from Hampshire College in creative writing and comparative literature; a Master of Theological Studies degree in Sanskrit and comparative religious literature from the Divinity School at Harvard University; a Master of Fine Art in poetry at New York University; and a PhD from the University of Southern Creative Writing and Literature Program. Lewis, who has taught at Hampshire College, Hunter College, Wheaton College, and the NYU MFA in Paris, is writer-in-residence at the University of Southern California. In 2021, she was the Joseph Brodsky Rome Prize Fellow at the American Academy in Rome, and is currently a Ford Foundation Scholar-in-Residence at the Museum of Modern Art.

* WAITING LIST * New York, NY | Curator-Led Tour of Cecily Brown "Death and the Maid" at the Met
2023-06-07 10:00 - 11:30 (America/New_York) | The Metropolitan Museum of Art, 1000 Fifth Avenue, New York, New York, 10028
Join ArtTable for an exclusive curator-led tour of “Death and the Maid” at The Metropolitan Museum of Art; we’ll have access when the museum is closed to the public! For more than twenty-five years, Cecily Brown (b. 1969) has transfixed viewers with sumptuous color, bravura brushwork, and complex narratives that relate to some of Western art history’s grandest and oldest themes. After moving to New York from London in the 1990s, she revived painting for a new generation alongside a handful of other artists—many of them also women—at the very moment critics were questioning its import and relevance. The first full-fledged museum survey of Brown’s work in New York since she made the city her home, “Cecily Brown: Death and the Maid” assembles a select group of some fifty paintings, drawings, sketchbooks, and monotypes from across her career to explore the intertwined themes of still life, memento mori, mirroring, and vanitas—symbolic depictions of human vanity or life’s brevity—that have propelled her dynamic and impactful practice for decades. The tour will be led by by the Aaron I. Fleischman Curator, Modern and Contemporary Art, Ian Alteveer.

Brown has work in public collections including The MoMA, The Whitney Museum of American Art, and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York, NY; Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C.; The Broad, Los Angeles; Museum für Moderne Kunst, Frankfurt, Germany; The Tate, London, UK; and Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, Humlebæk, Denmark.

WHAT SURVIVES IN THE ARCHIVE OF INDENTURE? | Group ExhibitionNAZRINA RODJAN – NICHOLAS DORNELLAS – SARAH ROHANI DREPAULSHARIFA KHAN – VANESSA GODDENTWELVE GATES ARTS, 106 NORTH SECOND ST. PHILADELPHIA, PA 19106
Twelve Gates Arts invited curator Suzanne Persard for a group show of women and nonbinary artists. What survives in the archive of indenture? Remnants of Another investigates the traces of memory among artists of Indo-Caribbean and indentured Indian descent from Suriname, Trinidad, and Guyana. Juxtaposing historical and family archives alongside photography and film, these multidisciplinary artists rework temporalities of diaspora and self to create a new visual archive of genealogy. Remnants of Another traverses the contours of memory among indentured descendants, refracting the violence of the colonial archive through queer and feminist re-imaginings of ancestral selves, kinship and diaspora.

The selected artworks were created through the lenses of artists of different backgrounds and different concerns, such as climate change, immigration, material culture, and America’s complex past. These cultural critiques aim to turn a mirror on what modern America is versus what it purports itself to be.

Aisha’s recently concluded Curatorial Residency in Penn’s Asian American Studies Program (ASAM) in spring 2023 (as part of the ASAM’s Sachs 2022 Grant) titled “The Third Space: Unfurling Diasporic Arts of South Asia”, consisted of a series of programs seeking to highlight Diasporic Arts of South Asia as a distinct, expansive, and emergent tradition within American contemporary art. This residency was not just a critical opportunity for ASAM to premier South Asian American arts in an examination of diaspora, ethnic identity, and immigration history, but also a culmination of her own work highlighting these aspects in artistic productions of diasporic artists.

SOLD OUT | ArtTable Tours | France: The Magic of Paris and Provence
2023-06-11 00:00 - 2023-06-19 23:59 (America/New_York)
There is no question that the art scene in France is alive and kicking its heels. The impact of Brexit has brought new and exciting art spaces across France that more than merit a taste of as the French would say a “soupçon” of the contemporary art scene in France.

ArtTable’s tour will begin in Paris and then we head south to Provence where we will visit museums, alternative spaces, galleries, artists’ studios, and private collections. France has been the inspiration to artists that have given birth to some of the most important artistic movements and their legacy has laid the foundation for artists for generations.

Highlights of The Itinerary

Paris

We could spend the entire time of the tour in Paris yet over the course of our 3 days in this magical city, we plan to get into the flow filled with contemporary art set within extraordinary settings. We will talk with gallerists, artists, curators, and collectors as we visit sites like La Bourse de Commerce or the Fondation Louis Vuitton or alternative art spaces like the recently formed Fiminco. Each day we will have time to enjoy the cuisine of Paris and reflect on our shared experiences.

Avignon

This wonderful walled city along the Rhone will be our first stop as we head south. While it is known for its famous Palais des Popes, there is also a burgeoning art scene which includes the collection of noted gallerist and collector, Yvon Lambert. We will have a tour of newly installed works from his collection. Our day will end with an evening stay at a chateau in the countryside which will provide closer access to a truly unique visit to Anslem Kiefer’s vast studio complex La Ribaute, a 40-hectare site with more than 70 installations by Kiefer along with the exhibition of works by guest artists.

Arles

Arles is a magical town and is one of the most lovely examples of life in Provence spanning the footprints of centuries of cultures. The presence of artists is legendary with Vincent Van Gogh having spent three of his most productive years here. His spirit has attracted many contemporary artists and is the home to one of the significant cultural destinations outside of Paris, LUMA. Created by the efforts of philanthropist Maja Hoffman, LUMA was created on the site of former railyards with many service barns being transported into exhibition spaces with the site being topped by a tower designed by Frank Gehry. Our hotel in Arles will be L’Arlatan, which was designed by the artist Jorge Pardo. Beyond Arles we will venture to Chateau La Coste roaming the hills dotted with large scale sculptures by some of the most important artists working today.

Suzanne Randolph, Tour Curator

The ArtTable tour to Paris and Provence will be curated by The ALIX Experience, a firm that connects women through luxury tours focused on cultural experiences. ALIX was created by Suzanne Randolph, an ArtTable member and established fine art advisor with Suzanne Randolph Fine Arts. Suzanne created ALIX as she traveled internationally on her own to keep abreast of the contemporary art market. As a solo woman traveler she realized that many women like herself could benefit from gathering together to share experience and lessen moments of loneliness as one travels for business and for leisure.

Suzanne loves France and looks forward to meeting ArtTable’s travelers!

New York, NY | Gallery Tuesdays | Ruby Rumié "Us, 172 Years Later”
2023-06-13 17:00 - 18:00 (America/New_York) | Nohra Haime Gallery, 500A West 21st Street, New York, 10011
Join ArtTable and Nohra Haime for a tour of “Us, 172 Years Later” by Ruby Rumié at the Nohra Haime Gallery. The project is based on the 19th Century Chorographic Commission in Colombia that includes the inhabitants of the Caribbean coast which were missing in the original scientific study. Rumié puts together one hundred people from the Caribbean region whose unique characteristics share the passion and commitment for their trade, and express in a special way their taste and the value they place on the food from this region, as food is one of the most relevant cultural elements. Rumié inserts the women as a type who were not included in the original Commission due to gender and race.

Born in Cartagena de Indias, Rumié studied painting, drawing and sculpture at the Cartagena School of Fine Arts (1980-1982). From 1989 to 1996 she worked on hyperrealist painting. She then broke away from academia and pursued her work with a clear focus on social issues, both territorial and on patrimony, questioning her commitment as an artist to society. She has held important exhibitions in Colombia, Chile, the United States and France. She exhibited Hálito Divino (Divine Breath) and Tejiendo calles (Weaving Streets) at the Nohra Haime Gallery in New York and at NH Galería in Cartagena, Colombia. She participated in Art Paris and in the first Biennial of Contemporary Art of Cartagena de Indias with her work Lugar común (Common Place). She was awarded the Rockefeller Foundation Bellagio Center fellowship and Women Together from the United Nations (UN) for her anthropological, social and artistic works. Special thanks to Julia P. Herzberg, PhD.

The exhibition is the first to present Gego’s work at the gallery’s new flagship on 19 East 64th St. A leading figure of Venezuelan abstraction in the 1960s and ’70s, Gego (1912–1994) created multidimensional works that radically engage the properties of line and space. The tour will be led by LGDR Senior Partner, Emilio Steinberger. Presented in collaboration with Fundación Gego, Lines in Space will offer a concentrated survey of the artist’s works across media, including the constellated wire structure Chorro (1979/86), the six-part steel-and-bronze sculpture Cornisa I (1967), and her luminous watercolors, collages, and drawings.

This presentation follows those organized by Lévy Gorvy in New York (2015) and London (2016), continuing a long-standing relationship with the artist’s estate. Lines in Space coincides with a major retrospective of the artist’s work on view at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York (March–September 2023), which traveled from Museo Jumex in Mexico City (October 2022–February 2023), and the Museu de Arte de Sao Paulo (2019–20), and will continue on to the Guggenheim Bilbao (October 2023–February 2024).

2023-07-20 16:00 - 17:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Oxy Arts, 4757 York Boulevard, Los Angeles, California, 90042
Join ArtTable for a tour of “for the sake of dancing in the street”—a group exhibition celebrating the interconnectedness of feminist and queer resistance in person at OXY ARTS Los Angeles. The exhibition features works by performance collaborative LASTESIS, Morehshin Allahyari, and Yasmine Nasser Diaz, in conversation with works by poet Ava Ansari and the Geochicas network, and documentation of resistance movements compiled by Caitlin Abadir-Mullally and Raja Bella Hicks. An original print by Entangled Roots Press is featured in the gallery space and available as a takeaway. Yasmine Nasser Diaz will speak about the exhibition. Meldia Yesayan, Director, and Frankie Fleming, Manager of Education and Community Engagement, will explain the unique mission of OXY ARTS as it relates to Occidental College and to the surrounding community. OXY ARTS is situated off-campus in a store-front building in the Highland Park neighborhood of Los Angeles.

The exhibition and associated programming were conceived and organized in collaboration with OXY ARTS, LAND (Los Angeles Nomadic Division), and Yasmine Nasser Diaz.

Optional activities after the tour include staying for the gallery’s 6 pm screening of JOYLAND—an Urdu- and Punjabi-language film tackling gender and desire that was shortlisted in the Best International Feature Film category at the 95th Academy Awards, and won the Jury Prize and Queer Palm Prize at the 2022 Cannes Film Festival. Attendees are also welcome to continue networking while enjoying a “no-host” meal at a nearby restaurant.

Please note there is limited street parking; details are available on the OXY ARTS website here.

Meldia Yesayan. Meldia is the Director of OXY ARTS, the multidisciplinary arts programming initiative at Occidental College. She oversees all aspects of the programming and development of OXY ARTS, including organizing all exhibitions and programs at the OXY ARTS center, facilitating visiting artist residencies such as the Wanlass Artist-in-Residence program, initiating cross-departmental and interdisciplinary collaborations, creating opportunities for student-curated events, and engaging the Occidental community in socially conscious discourse with contemporary arts practices. She is also responsible for developing meaningful and sustained relationships with the Los Angeles area arts communities, including partnerships with local arts agencies, artists and institutions.

Yasmine Nasser Diaz is a visual artist whose work frequently occupies the domestic sphere to explore the boundaries of cultural identity. Staging familial memories in nostalgic recreations of home, her work nods to both tradition and technological change and is often deftly punctured by powerful feminist and social critique. Using a variety of media from collage and fiber etching to video and immersive installation, she mines personal archives to probe the nuances of third-culture identity, often drawing upon the frictions experienced between the individual and the collective.

Yasmine’s work was recently featured at the Getty Center and is included in the collections of LACMA, UCLA, and the Arab American National Museum. She is the recipient of the Harpo Visual Artists Grant, the California Community Foundation Visual Artist Fellowship, and the University of Michigan Efroymson Visiting Artist Residency in Ann Arbor, MI. Yasmine lives and works in Los Angeles.

Frankie Fleming oversees education and community programming at OXY ARTS. She works with students, community partners, and faculty on collaborations with the surrounding community, including running the Community Studio K-12 after school art program, organizing workshops, field trips and community events. Before joining OXY ARTS in 2019, Frankie was the Director of Education at Center for the Arts Eagle Rock and a Teaching Artist at Southern Exposure. She brings her experience in art education to OXY ARTS’ LAUSD after school art program and internship program, which launched in 2021.

New York | A Day Upstate: Rita McBride at Dia Beacon | Mother Gallery, Garage Gallery, Analog Diary
2023-07-22 11:00 - 16:00 (America/New_York) | DIA Beacon, 3 Beekman Street, Beacon, NY, 12508
Join ArtTable members and guests for a day of art, walking, and networking during Upstate Art Weekend this July! It’s a perfect time to take a break from the city and connect with colleagues. Please note that this is a walking tour.

We’ll start the day at Dia Beacon, where Curator Alexis Lowry will guide us on a tour of “Rita McBride: Momentum.” McBride, renowned for her extensive body of work encompassing architecture, design, and public space, operates at the confluence of these disciplines. Her work predominantly revolves around creating expansive installations and large-scale works, and includes elements of performance, textual compositions, and smaller sculptural pieces. You’ll have a little time to explore other exhibits at Dia before joining the group on a shuttle to downtown Beacon.We’ll enjoy a delicious (Dutch treat) lunch at a Main Street restaurant. Just a few minutes away on foot, we’ll tour “Reclaimed,” at Garage Gallery with Co-Founder Susan Keiser. The exhibit features work by Laura Petrovich-Cheney, Jaynie Crimmins, and Rinat Goren. “‘Women’s work’ is such a loaded term—loaded with seemingly impossible to dislodge assumptions about who does what in this world and what it’s worth. Said dismissively, these two short words have the power to devalue the lives and work of half the population. Still. But said authoritatively, joyfully, hopefully, it can refer to the unheralded artists who have long woven and embroidered seemingly worthless scraps of everyday life into entirely new vocabularies of expression.”

Our next stop will be “Chromazones” at Analog Diary with Founding Partner Katharine Overgaard. “This show celebrates the myriad compositional, technical, and narrative possibilities achieved through color—painted, drawn, poured, and sculpted—and draws unexpected and generative through-lines between otherwise disparate artists and their works. Chromazones is fecund, life-affirming, and curious.” Featuring artists Latifa Alajlan, Polly Apfelbaum, Michael Berryhill, Eugene von Bruenchenhein, Julia Chiang, Martha Clippinger, Holly Coulis, Pam Glick, Tamara Gonzales, Clare Grill, Alteronce Gumby, Marcia Hafif, EJ Hauser, Andrew Masullo, John McAllister, Dan Miller, Ron Nagle, Ken Price, Julia Rommel, Sylvia Snowden, Emma Soucek, Tracy Thomason, Yukine Yanagi, and Kennedy Yanko.To finish the day, we’ll join Founder Paola Oxoa at MOTHER Gallery for “I AM THE PASSENGER Pt II” featuring artists Lisa Beck, Trudy Benson, Seth Cameron, Mariah Dekkenga, Stacy Fisher, Rico Gatson, Russell Tyler, and Susan Weil. I AM THE PASSENGER is an intergenerational group exhibition of non-objective painting, in two parts—acting as a looking glass for perceiving our current moment in time and place within the lineage of non-objective painting. We relate to non-objective painting in both corporeal and immaterial ways. Non-objective painting wants to stir something. Non-objective painting connects with our bodies. Severe yet playful, non-objective painting is evidence of the artist operating within a greater movement of creation. We bear witness to the journey of artist as passenger when we stand in view of non-objective painting. Non-objective painting is about feeling and perceiving in the body, it’s personal, it’s universal. Organized by Trudy Benson, Paola Oxoa, and Russell Tyler. Stay and socialize at the Upstate Art Weekend reception at MOTHER, explore on your own in downtown Beacon, or wrap up the day!

If you plan to make a night (or weekend) of it, Upstate Art Weekend has so much to offer. The fourth edition of UPSTATE ART WEEKEND, July 21-24, 2023, includes 130+ participants located in Columbia, Delaware, Dutchess, Greene, Orange, Putnam, Rockland, Sullivan, Ulster and Westchester counties.

Oxoa earned a BFA in experimental animation from Rocky Mountain College of Art and Design (Lakewood, CO). Working across media—themes of interconnectedness and transcendence permeate her work. Solo exhibitions include What the Thunder Said at Matteawan Gallery (Beacon, NY), Round Tripper at Stay Gallery (Denver, CO), The Mirror of Reason (2005) and TRUE LOVE (2004) at the Museum of Contemporary Art Denver, where she was awarded a residency and named the #1 NEW PICK (2004-5).

Susan Keiser is a fine-art photographer and the cofounder of Garage Gallery, a contemporary fine arts gallery in Beacon, NY, exhibiting significant bodies of work by emerging and mid-career artists in a wide range of media. “Art needs space in the real world—a home in the heart of the community that’s larger than a studio but less rarified than a global gallery showroom. Artists need a place where they can find their audience without economic pressure—a point of entry between a phone app and a collector’s wall. Collectors need an environment that is welcoming and invites discovery, where they can always find a treasure to take home with them.”

Keiser’s photographic and curatorial work reflects her long experience in publishing, the arts, and horticulture. As Senior Editor at Oxford University Press she was responsible for establishing their academic and scholarly journals program in the United States, acquiring titles in fields ranging from cultural studies to financial economics and fine art to neuroscience.Deeply involved in gardening and the natural world, she was Manager of the Rock and Native Plant Gardens at The New York Botanical Garden, Bronx, NY; Associate Director of the Garden Conservancy, Garrison, NY; and founder and principal of Greystone Gardens, Inc., a design-build firm working with private and corporate clients. Her gardens have been featured in the New York Times and Garden Design magazine, as well as in Japanese and German publications.

As an artist she has always been concerned with building large structures out of small units, entire worlds out of miniature elements. The recipient of an NEA grant she created site-specific installations commissioned by public and private institutions, including the Milwaukee Art Museum, Milwaukee, WI; Walker Art Center, Minneapolis, MN; Rockefeller Center, New York, NY; and the International Design Conference in Aspen, CO. Keiser attended Pomona College and holds a BFA in painting from The Cooper Union and a diploma from The New York Botanical Garden School of Professional Horticulture.

Katharine Overgaard is a Founding Partner at Analog Diary (Beacon), and Director at Franklin Parrasch Gallery (New York). Her expertise lies in art writing and research, gallery and artist strategy, and collector and institutional relations. In spring 2022, she co-founded Analog Diary with fellow veteran art dealers Derek Eller, Abby Messitte, and Franklin Parrasch.

Analog Diary organizes exhibitions which reimagine what a gallery can show by collapsing boundaries and arbitrarily assigned categories. Analog Diary is a space where thinking about art without the mind clutter of an Instagrammable frame of reference is possible. Analog Diary is a Member of the New Art Dealers Alliance.

Overgaard has been an ArtTable member since 2022, was born and raised in Western Massachusetts’ Pioneer Valley. She earned a dual major B.A. in Studio Art and Art History from Drew University (Madison, NJ) and lives in Upper Manhattan.

New York | "Women Choose Women" at Frampton Co, Bridgehampton
2023-08-18 17:00 - 19:00 (America/New_York) | Frampton Co, Exhibition The Barn | 141 Maple Lane, Bridgehampton, 11932
There’s still plenty of time to enjoy The Hamptons this summer! Join ArtTable at Exhibition The Barn—Frampton Co’s Fine Art space in Bridgehampton, New York. “Women Choose Women” spans the 1950s to today, including work by Lynne Drexler, Elaine de Kooning, Grace Hartigan, Nanette Carter, Elizabeth Osborne, and Susan Vecsey. This exhibition is curated by Christine Berry and Martha Campbell, co-founders of Berry Campbell, and Elena Frampton, principal of Frampton Co. Berry Campbell is known for bringing to light artists who were overlooked due to age, race, gender or geography, particularly women of Abstract Expressionism. Frampton Co focuses on contemporary art and design with emphasis on promoting emerging and undiscovered mid-career artists. We’ll enjoy a tour of the exhibition with Christine Berry & Elena Frampton, and then relax and network with a glass of Prosecco or seltzer, courtesy of the gallery.The exhibition “Women Choose Women” derives its name and curatorial focus from a significant event at the New York Cultural Center in 1973. Curated by Lucy Lippard and a committee of female artists, this groundbreaking exhibition marked the first major display of women artists in New York. It left a profound impact not only within the art community but also in society at large. The 2023 exhibition, bearing the same name, follows in the footsteps of its predecessor, embodying a collaborative and effective approach. It firmly believes that advocating for women in the arts remains just as vital today as it was half a century ago.Thank you to Courtney Burbela for her work on this event.Transportation to Bridgehampton is self-serve:Visit the Long Island Railroad (LIRR) website or Hampton Jitney website to book train or bus travel to Bridgehampton.

About the Curators

(c) Blaine Davis Portrait. Martha Campbell, Christine Berry, Elena Frampton

Elena Frampton founded Frampton Co on Cinco de Mayo 2015, following nearly two decades at the helm of a successful bi-coastal design practice and honing her craft at some of New York’s most prestigious interior design firms. Through a wholly-integrated approach, Elena makes sense of every space and brings out its spirit. Her knack for clever solutions that strike a balance between pragmatism and personality draws even the most cautious of clients into her process.With an infectious enthusiasm for art and a rigorous understanding of design theory, she is an expert in creating consistently one-of-a-kind environments that transcend boundaries. Elena’s innate ability to shape space goes back to a childhood of balancing two worlds, between her maternal Mexican family in Los Angeles and the Midwestern farm on her father’s side. Her experience of navigating the desert landscapes of Arizona at college, with its bounty of interventions, inspires the construction of the layers and ‘reveals’ that characterize her design and curatorial practice. This, combined with her keen eye for detail, is key to the surprising combinations and unexpected applications that make her stand out as an unparalleled talent uniquely positioned in both the art and design worlds. Her curious nature and strong desire to forge connections fuels a constant search for new forms of creative expression. The vision culminates with Exhibition The Barn; the Bridgehampton gallery where she curates an ever-changing display of notable and under-the-radar works and her own original furnishings,F Collection.

Christine Berry and Martha Campbell opened Berry Campbell in the heart of Chelsea in 2013. The gallery has a fine-tuned program representing artists of post-war American painting that have been overlooked or neglected, particularly women of Abstract Expressionism. Since its inception, the gallery has developed a strong emphasis in research to bring to light artists overlooked due to age, race, gender, or geography. This unique perspective has been increasingly recognized by curators, collectors, and the press. Berry Campbell has been included and reviewed in publications such as Art in America, Artforum, Artnet News, Artnews, The Brooklyn Rail, Huffington Post, the New York Times, and Wall Street Journal.

New York | Annual Leadership Series: The Future of Gender-Based Organizations
2023-09-05 18:30 - 20:30 (America/New_York) | 22 Vanderbilt, 335 Madison Ave, New York, New York, 10017
Welcome to ArtTable’s 2023 Annual Leadership Series panel discussion on Tuesday, September 5 in New York City! “The Future of Gender Based Organizations” engages the arts and business communities in a critical examination of how organizations dedicated to addressing existing gender-based disparities in wages and opportunities can continue to research, advocate, network, and address inequities—particularly as the culture moves forward into a more evolved understanding of gender identity. In the panel discussion, we will consider the value and meaning of gender-based organizations, their changing roles, purposes, and goals, and the context and consequences of leading such organizations in a changing political and cultural moment. The program will continue to establish ArtTable as an advocate for equality within and beyond the art community. Our panel features: Alyssa Nitchun, Executive Director of the Leslie-Lohman Museum of Art; Subha V. Barry, President of Seramount; Alicin Williamson, Chief Diversity and Culture Officer, Yahoo!; and Jessica L. Porter, Lila Harnett Executive Director of ArtTable. Sociologist Dr. Gillian Gualtieri will moderate this important discussion. We’ll open with time to network and socialize over refreshments and light bites.This signature ArtTable program was initially launched in 2016, and since its inception, the series has been featured during Armory Show week, fostering engaging conversations among prominent women-identifying and nonbinary professionals. It has provided a platform for these influential voices to discuss the most pressing and relevant topics within our industries. We are proud to partner with the Women’s Forum of New York, a leading organization that is similarly committed to equity, advocacy, and community engagement. Women’s Forum Members can register here.

The program will be moderated by Dr. Gillian Gualtieri, Visiting Assistant Professor in the Department of Sociology at Barnard College, with panelists:

Subha V. Barry | President of Seramount

Dallas, TX | Tour of Helen Houp Fine Art Conservation
2023-09-12 17:30 - 18:30 (America/New_York) | HELEN HOUP Fine Art Conservation, 2626 Lombardy Ln Ste 106, Dallas, Texas, 75220
Immerse yourself in a behind-the-scenes tour of the Helen Hope Fine Art Conservation studio led by Helen Houp herself. We will see artwork in the process of being treated, discuss the different techniques Helen uses, and the difference between conservation versus restoration. This is a unique opportunity to see a conservation studio up close. Please note, it is limited to 10 members only. Confusion sometimes arises over the terms conservator and conservation and restorer and restoration. In conservation, it’s of paramount importance that in treating a work that the intent of the artist is preserved. Conservators use reversible materials in their treatments, provide narrative reports on the condition of the work as received and the treatment procedures employed with supporting photographs. The practice of conservation involves a thorough examination, scientific analysis, and research to reveal the materials employed in the execution of the work and the extent of the damages present. Based on these findings a regimen of conservation treatment is determined. Traditionally, restorers have not been guided by the principles as stated above. Their emphasis is placed on what may be a short term rejuvenation rather than the long term preservation of the work of art.

National | "The Private Eye in Public Art" with Joyce Pomeroy Schwartz & Lowery Stokes Sims
2023-09-13 18:00 - 20:00 (America/New_York) | West 54th St. or Zoom, New York
Beyond a traditional book launch, spend an evening with two leading lights of the art world, Joyce Pomeroy Schwartz and Lowery Stokes Sims. Their foundational contributions to ArtTable and the art community cannot be overstated; you won’t want to miss this chance to dive into their professional expertise, stories, and unique perspectives as they discuss Pomeroy Schwartz’s 2023 book The Private Eye in Public Art. Joyce will honor ArtTable’s founder, Lila Harnett, (in absentia) and foundational members Carole Morgan and Randy Rosen.

Our zoom guests will be with us for the interview; our in-person guests are welcome to network from 6-6:30 and enjoy wine and light bites—with gratitude to Joyce for hosting! (If you’re in the Washington, DC area, you can join your DC Chapter for a watch party—see below.)The Private Eye in Public Art, “is an indispensable guide to the perils, pains, and pleasures of making art for architecture, how people respond to that art, and how and why that reception may change over time. This book is for all who are involved in the creation, exhibition, and preservation of contemporary public art: artists, selection committees, scholars, students, art professionals, and the wider public.”“I have known Joyce for a long time―since 1972, when there was a glass ceiling for working women―but not for Joyce. She joined the Pace Gallery as Director of Commissions, helping artists realize their works of public art―and cracked her way through that ceiling. When I founded ArtTable, the leadership organization for professional women in the visual arts, Joyce came aboard, and to this day she is a member of that team.” ―Lila Harnett, Founder, ArtTable

For our in-person guests: this event is Bring-Your-Own-Book! Joyce would be delighted to sign your copy of The Private Eye in Public Art if you would be so kind as to bring it with you. You can purchase it on Amazon (faster delivery) or from the publisher, Oro Editions.

Washington, DC | Curator-led tour of "1898: U.S. Imperial Visions and Revisions" National Portrait Gallery
2023-09-19 10:00 - 11:00 (America/New_York) | National Portrait Gallery, 8th & G Streets NW, Washington, DC, 20001, United States
Join co-curators Taína Caragol and Kate Lemay for an exclusive tour of “1898: U.S. Imperial Visions and Revisions” at the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery! “That single year launched the United States on a path that would end with the annexation of Hawaii, intervention in Cuba, and the invasions of Puerto Rico, the Philippines and Guam—profound geopolitical changes resulting from U.S. domination during the Philippine-American War (1899-1902) and the Spanish-American War (April to August 1898), now often referred to as the War of 1898.”—Maya Wei-Haas, The Smithsonian Magazine.

Portraiture is part of how we represent ourselves, and how we memorialize our historic public figures from the heroic to the problematic. 125 years after this extensive series of conflicts, the U.S. continues to grapple with its imperial legacy. The Smithsonian exhibition revisits these representations from multiple, culturally-complex perspectives, “and recognizes that the Smithsonian Institution’s collecting practices legitimized the imperial project.”Please see the Museum’s Visitor Page for Health, Safety, and Accessibility information.

About the Curators

Taína Caragol, Curator of Painting and Sculpture and Latino Art and History, joined the National Portrait Gallery in 2013 as the first curator for Latino art and history and her role was expanded to curator of painting and sculpture in 2015. Caragol has led the effort to increase the representation of Latino historical figures and artists at the museum, adding over 170 portraits to the collection and ensuring that Latino contributions to American history and art are interwoven through the museum’s exhibitions and permanent collection.

In 2014, she was the lead curator for “Portraiture Now: Staging the Self,” which examined the forces that shape identity–from friendships, to gender dynamics, and histories of migration–through the work of contemporary Latino artists. In 2015, she curated “One Life: Dolores Huerta,” exploring Huerta’s role as co-architect of the farm workers movement with César Chávez. She co-curated “The Face of Battle: Americans at War, 9/11 to Now” (2017) and “UnSeen: Our Past in a New Light, Ken Gonzales-Day and Titus Kaphar” (2018).

Previously, Caragol was the curator of education at Museo de Arte de Ponce, Puerto Rico, where she organized the museum’s symposium on Pre-Raphaelite art and led a program of talks with contemporary Puerto Rican artists. She was the Museum of Modern Art’s Latin American bibliographer from 2004-2007, and she worked as a postdoctoral researcher for Latin American Art in the United Kingdom: History, Historiography, Specificity, 1960 to the Present, an investigation led by the University of Essex (2007–2008).

Caragol earned her PhD in art history from the City University of New York. Her dissertation “Boom and Dust: The Rise of Latin American and Latino Art in New York Exhibition Venues and Auction Houses, 1970s–1980s,” examined the incubating role of New York City’s alternative museums and art spaces and market during the “Latin American art boom” of the late 1980s. Her essay on Kehinde Wiley’s portrait of President Barack Obama was published in The Obama Portraits in February 2020 (Princeton University Press / National Portrait Gallery).

Kate Clarke Lemay, Historian, joined the National Portrait Gallery in 2015. She is a Fulbright Scholar; a Presidential Counselor to the National WWII Museum; and the founding director of PORTAL, the Portrait Gallery’s scholarly center. Lemay also served as the founding coordinating curator for the Smithsonian American Women’s History Initiative. In 2019, Lemay curated “Votes for Women: A Portrait of Persistence” to usher in the centennial of the U.S. American women’s suffrage anniversary. She published its eponymous catalogue with Princeton University Press which was awarded the 2021 Smithsonian Secretary’s Prize for Excellence in Research and the 2020 Amelia Bloomer Book Award from the American Library Association.

In 2017, Lemay’s first book Triumph of the Dead: American WWII Cemeteries, Monuments and Diplomacy in France was awarded the Terra Foundation in American Art publication grant. In 2018, she served as guest editor for The International Journal of Military History and Historiography. She has published essays on art and military history for the University of North Texas Press, Oxford University Press, The Strategy Bridge, Zócalo Public Square, Reviews in American History, and the Marine Corps University Press. Lemay’s research has been supported by a Terra Foundation in American Art predoctoral fellowship at the Smithsonian American Art Museum, a fellowship in American Modernism at the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum Research Center, and a fellowship from the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique at the Caen Mémorial Museum in France. Lemay served as the lead historian for the transformation of the museum’s landmark exhibition “America’s Presidents” (2017). Her other exhibitions include “Marlene Dietrich: Dressed for the Image” (2017).

Before joining the National Portrait Gallery, Lemay was an assistant professor of art history at Auburn University Montgomery and visiting assistant professor of the history of modern and contemporary art at Brigham Young University. She earned a dual PhD in American art history and American studies from Indiana University (Bloomington).

Virtual | Fine Art in Healthcare with Melissa Dallal, Ellen Rudolph, Cade Tompkins, Susana Bautista, and Jane Borthwick
2023-10-05 18:00 - 19:00 (America/New_York) | Virtual
3 pm PDT / 4 pm MDT / 5 pm CDT / 6 pm EDT

Major medical institutions take art seriously and recognize its importance in healthcare settings. Creating sophisticated cultural spaces in these environments is its own professional discipline—parallel to how art advisors collaborate with art and design partners in hospitality and corporate settings, but with its own purpose, parameters, and vision. Join us for a fascinating virtual panel discussion featuring Melissa Dallal, Project Manager, Interior Design at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center; Ellen Rudolph, in-house Curator and Senior Director, Cleveland Clinic Art Collection; Susana Smith Bautista, Associate Vice President and Chief Curator, AltaMed Art Collection; and curator and gallerist Cade Tompkins of Cade Tompkins Projects. The conversation will be moderated by art advisor and collection strategist—and former ArtTable Board President—Jane Borthwick.We’ll look at themes including how art advisors in this field access art and artists, and how they can identify artists from diverse and adjacent community backgrounds who can connect with the patient, staff, and visitor populations at specific locations. Art advisors also identify and present emergent talent whose work will appreciate in value and that is affordable for healthcare institutions. We will hear about evolving and innovative collaborative models where art advisors are actively incorporating the input of stakeholders including healthcare professionals, patients, and families; ultimately serving the purpose of healing and inspiration in these communities while creating a built-in stewardship of the collection.
