ArtTable thanks The Armory Show and catering partner Cultivated for their generosity in welcoming us this year.

About The Armory Show: In 1994, four New York art dealers had the ambitious goal of creating a new art fair to support their artists and attract global attention. They succeeded. The result was a groundbreaking cultural moment that has become vital to the New York art market and beyond. While much has changed over the years, our ingenuity and ambition have not. The Armory Show is a galvanizing force in the art world and essential to New York’s cultural landscape.

New York, NY | Artist Talk: Liz Collins, Lightning Wheel at Candice Madey

July 31, 2024 | 5:00 pm 6:00 pm

Join ArtTable at Candice Madey on the Lower East Side for an Artist Talk with Liz Collins, exploring her exhibition Lightning Wheel (on view through August 2). Lightning Wheel features an exciting selection of new work from Collins, who was recently profiled by the New York Times and featured in the 2024 Venice Biennale. Collins’ work can also be seen in Weaving Abstraction—organized by the National Gallery of Art and set to travel in the coming months to LACMA, the National Gallery of Canada in Ottowa, and MoMA—among numerous other exhibitions.

About the Exhibition: Candice Madey is thrilled to announce the gallery’s second exhibition with Liz Collins, Lightning Wheel, presenting a series of new textile-based works that explore the artist’s distinctive and evolving symbology through recurring patterns and forms. Collins’s abstractions verge on the fantastical or energetic, suggesting the effects of extraordinary natural phenomena and a rapidly changing environment on the artist’s interior world.

As in Collins’s past work in textile, installation, drawing, and design, recent works employ a vibrant color spectrum that incorporates queer feminist sensibilities as well as references to twentieth-century abstraction in painting and in fiber. Reflecting the artist’s interest in Theosophist visual and spiritual traditions, the imagery investigates the idea that the occult movement is an esoteric predecessor of—or a link to—the origins of modern abstraction.

Central to the exhibition is a large-scale tapestry in which rainbows traverse sky and mountainscapes. The work is part of a series of woven landscapes entitled Rainbow Mountains that evoke the inner turmoil of an artist-activist in this contemporary moment–a consciousness at once hopeful, utopic, apocalyptic, and sublime. The exhibition’s title, Lightning Wheel, references one of several forms that reappear alongside lightning bolts, spheres, and cracked mirrors. Collins frequently crafts multiple iterations of her enigmatic compositions in different color combinations, materials, and fabrications in woven, embroidered, and embellished textiles, compounding and building her cosmology and iconographic vocabulary through repetition and the handmade.

Collins’s work powerfully testifies to artists’ agency in creating new worlds. By reconfiguring symbols, patterns, shapes, forms, colors, and textures, she seeks to better understand the human spirit in an uncertain and ever-changing ecosystem.

New York, NY | Studio Visit with Lily Wong

August 8, 2024 | 5:15 pm 6:30 pm

ArtTable is pleased to invite you to explore Lily Wong’s process and current projects on a visit to the artist’s studio in Lower Manhattan.

Lily Wong (b. 1989 Seattle, USA) is a figurative painter whose work taps into the vulnerabilities and complexities of yearning. Personal and poetic, the protagonists in her work are made of experiences that extend beyond the physical. They are composed of sensations, moods, inarticulable interiorities, moving through dreamlike space and disoriented time. Color is its own character, a pulse in the circulatory system of the painting which is often a map of something beyond the depictive. Wong’s paintings probe at the way that literal and metaphorical fracturings influence the body’s relationship to memory, intimacy and desire.

Lily Wong’s studio is located in Lower Manhattan, a short walk from the World Trade Center. The exact address will be shared with attendees prior to the visit. Learn more about her practice in Juxtapoz and on the Cerebral Women podcast.

New York, NY | Artist Talk: Deborah Druick in Conversation with Sasha Phyars Burgess

July 15, 2024 | 5:00 pm 7:00 pm

ArtTable invites you to David Nolan Gallery on the Upper East Side for a special viewing of BODIES: Ray Yoshida, Christina Ramberg, Deborah Druick featuring Deborah Druick in conversation with Sasha Phyars Burgess, 2023 Guggenheim Fellow for Creative Arts. This talk will be moderated by writer and critic Julie Baumgardner.

About the exhibition:

BODIES brings together three intergenerational artists united by their strong interest in pattern, design, figuration, and the human body. Collectively, their work is informed by the human experience and the politics around the representation of the human form, as well as by popular culture.

The work of Ray Yoshida (1930-2009), Christina Ramberg (1946-1995), and Deborah Druick (b. 1951) strays from the overarching influence of Abstract Expressionism that especially dominated Yoshida and Ramberg’s generations. Their commitment to formal principles instead lends itself to careful studies of the body that crop it or focus on its minute details. Their mutual interest in the human body is more physiological than illustrative, a commitment that is further demonstrated by their works’ compositional strength which reflects more than just raw emotion.

The influence of popular culture in the form of cartoons and comic books manifests in defined lines and weighty figures for whom a world beyond the canvas does not exist. Like the panels of a comic book, these spaces are contained, unlike the Abstract Expressionist tendency to imply the brushstroke’s extension well beyond the space of the canvas.

All three artists bring their investigations into so-called low art to a high plane that questions our perceptions of the world around us. They do not shy from depicting “private” body parts or “negative” human conditions, like isolation. They employ style for study’s sake, deeply informed by the very principles of art as observation and as a translation of what it means to be human.

The exhibition viewing and cocktail reception beginning at 5:00 PM. The Artist Talk will begin at 5:30 PM.

This Artist Talk is generously supported by the Pollock-Krasner Foundation. Our sincere thanks to Alaina Simone for coordinating this program.

Meet ArtTable at the New-York Historical Society for a tour of Beatrice Glow: When Our Rivers Meet, co-led by the artist and Rebecca Klassen, New-York Historical’s Curator of Material Culture. This Artist Talk is generously supported by the Pollock-Krasner Foundation.

About the exhibition: Drawing on research into New-York Historical’s vast Museum and Library collections, artist-in-residence Beatrice Glow reckons with the 400th anniversary of the establishment of the Dutch colony of New Amsterdam from local and global perspectives. Working in conversation with a group of culture bearers, artists, and scholars whose heritages were impacted by the Dutch colonial enterprise, Glow is creating a series of seven parade float maquettes that envision an alternative commemoration. The small VR-sculpted and 3D-printed sculptures will be complemented by Glow’s interpretations of decorative arts collection objects, such as embroidered textiles and gilded baby rattles that reflect ideas of social and cultural power.

Project participants: Raul Balai, Tecumseh Ceaser, Deborah Jack, Nancy Jouwe, Chief Vincent Mann, Michaeline Picaro Mann, Wim Manuhutu, Brent Stonefish, Teresa Vega

Your reservation includes admission to the New-York Historical Society prior to the tour. The Museum is open from 11:00-5:00 on Tuesdays.

Meet ArtTable in Midtown for a viewing of Chakaia Booker’s Shaved Portions before heading over to the Elizabeth Foundation for the Arts’ Robert Blackburn Printmaking Workshop for a talk with the artist. Presented in New York as part of the Garment District Alliance’s public art program, Shaved Portions was originally commissioned for the Oklahoma Center for Contemporary Art and previously exhibited at Washington University in St. Louis. A sculptor, painter, and photographer, Booker is widely known for her use of repurposed materials, like the rubber tires cut up and rewoven to construct Shaved Portions. The interwoven, branching structure of the installation exemplifies Booker’s ability to push the limits of abstraction, using unconventional media to evoke interconnectedness in the natural world and in society.

Program Itinerary:

  • 5:00–5:40 pm: Chakaia Booker in conversation with artist Phoebe Collings-James at Shaved Portions (installed on Broadway between West 39th and West 40th Streets)
  • 5:40–6:00 pm: Move to EFA Robert Blackburn Printmaking Workshop (an 8-minute walk); cocktail reception
  • 6:00–6:30 pm: Chakaia Booker in conversation with Essye Klempner, Director of Programing and Partnerships at Robert Blackburn Printmaking Workshop

Explore one of this year’s most notable exhibitions with ArtTable during Upstate Art Weekend! Join us at Storm King Art Center for a private tour of Arlene Shechet: Girl Group with Eric Booker, Associate Curator at Storm King and co-curator of the exhibition. Surrounded by the stunning landscape of the Hudson Valley, we will encounter six monumental sculptures, created by Shechet in aluminum and stainless steel for Storm King’s exhibition. Painted in subtle gradations of color that evoke the impact of light and the elements of nature on manmade objects, Shechet’s towering sculptures interrogate the overwhelmingly masculine history of their genre. Girl Group continues in Storm King’s indoor galleries, where smaller ceramic works from Shechet’s Together series illustrate the artist’s iterative process of making and reshaping the forms she would ultimately express on a monumental scale.

Please note: ArtTable will gather at 12:00 PM to allow adequate time to walk to the exhibition site prior to the 12:30 PM tour. Admission to Storm King Art Center is included with registration.
