ITINERARY


11:00 am – 1:00 pm Old City Art Tour

REKINDLED PROMISE | Group Exhibition
CHELSEA KAIAH – MELISSA LEANDRO – CHAU NGUYEN
BRIAN SINGER – TANEKEYA WORD

PENTIMENTI GALLERY, 145 NORTH SECOND ST. Philadelphia, PA 19106

Pentimenti Gallery invited five artists, four of them women, who draw inspiration from the challenges we face while living in America today. 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.

WHAT SURVIVES IN THE ARCHIVE OF INDENTURE? | Group Exhibition
NAZRINA RODJAN – NICHOLAS DORNELLAS – SARAH ROHANI DREPAUL
SHARIFA KHAN – VANESSA GODDEN

TWELVE 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.

 

1:00 pm – 3:00 pm “Rising Sun” 

RISING SUN: ARTISTS in an UNCERTAIN AMERICA

20 artists respond to the critical question: Is the sun rising or setting on the experiment of American democracy? A collaborative exhibition by the African American Museum in Philadelphia and the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. Installations by 20 celebrated artists explore themes of equality, free speech, and other tenets of democracy. In a time when perspectives in the U.S. are radically disparate, we invite you to explore how art inspires us to reflect on, challenge, and expand our own lived experiences. Artists include: Shiva Ahmadi, John Akomfrah CBE, La Vaughn Belle, Tiffany Chung, Lenka Clayton, Petah Coyne, Martha Jackson Jarvis, Demetrius Oliver, Eamon Ore-Giron, Alison Saar, Dread Scott, Rose B. Simpson, Sheida Soleimani, Renée Stout, Mark Thomas Gibson, Dyani White Hawk, Hank Willis Thomas, Deborah Willis, Wilmer Wilson IV, and Saya Woolfalk.

New York, NY | “Gego: Lines in Space” at LGDR

June 28 | 5:00 pm 6:30 pm

Gego | Chorro

LGDR is pleased to welcome ArtTable to Gego: Lines in Space. 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).

Thank you to Julia P Herzberg, PhD for coordinating this program.

New York, NY | Gallery Tuesday | Marilyn Minter at LGDR with Jeanne Greenberg Rohatyn

May 30 | 5:30 pm 7:00 pm

Marilyn Minter "About Damn Time"

Join us for a tour of Marilyn Minter’s newest exhibition led by curator and LGDR Gallery partner Jeanne Greenberg Rohatyn. Spanning three floors and six gallery spaces, this ambitious show is Minter’s first solo exhibition in New York since her celebrated retrospective Pretty/Dirty at the Brooklyn Museum in 2016–17.

It introduces several new bodies of work, including portraiture, and highlights Minter’s daring fifty-year exploration of beauty, representation, autonomy, and desire through a feminist, sex-positive perspective. A jaw-dropping display of jewel-toned paintings comingle with sculpture, video, photographs, and prints.

Minter approaches some of her now familiar themes with a critical, fresh eye and fearlessly tackles the art-historical canon by reinterpreting traditional genres such as bathers, odalisques, and portraiture.

Dallas, TX | Curator-Led Tour of “If You Look Hard Enough, You Can See Our Future”

Join us for a special behind-the-scenes tour of the critically-acclaimed exhibition “If You Look Hard Enough, You Can See Our Future: Selections from the Nando’s Art Collection.” Curated by Laurie Ann Farrell, this exhibition at the African American Museum of Dallas features some of the most notable South African artists including Zanele Muholi, Claudette Schreuders, Kagiso Patrick Mautloa, Igshaan Adams, Stephen Hobbs, Vivien Kohler, Anastasia Pather, Penny Siopis, William Kentridge, and Samson Mnisi. After the tour, we’ll enjoy Spier South African wines—courtesy of Nando’s—discuss, and network.

The exhibition brings together paintings, works on paper, sculptures, and photography as visual documentation of forgotten images and histories. These works were all created in South Africa between 1948 and 2020, and while they are bound by a specific time and place, they chronicle universal issues that touch us all: love, loss, and hope for a better future.

The African American Museum, Dallas was founded in 1974 as a part of Bishop College. The Museum has operated independently since 1979. For more than 40 years, the African American Museum has stood as a cultural beacon in Dallas and the Southwestern United States. Located in Dallas’ historic Fair Park, the African American Museum is the only museum in the Southwestern United States devoted to the collection, preservation and display of African American artistic, cultural and historical materials that relate to the African American experience.

New York, NY | Gallery Tuesdays | Ruby Rumié “Us, 172 Years Later”

June 13 | 5:00 pm 6:00 pm

Ruby Rumie | Us, 172 Years Later

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.

New York, NY | Gallery Tuesdays | Tour of “Robin Coste Lewis: Intimacy”

June 6 | 5:30 pm 7:00 pm

Robin Coste Lewis Intimacy

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.

New York, NY | Tour of Martine Gutierrez “ANTI-ICON: APOKALYPSIS” at Ryan Lee Gallery

June 1 | 6:00 pm 7:30 pm

Martine Gutierrez "Cleopatra" from ANTI-ICON APOKALYPSIS, 2021

Join ArtTable to ring in pride month as we visit Ryan Lee Gallery for a guided tour of ANTI-ICON: APOKALYPSIS, a daring new body of work by artist Martine Gutierrez.

The series continues Guiterrez’s exploration of identity across the cultural landscapes of gender, race and celebrity. In 17 new works, Gutierrez has transformed herself into a multitude of idols. Costumed by the barest of essentials, Gutierrez’s figure is the catalyst, reflecting dystopian futurism upon the symbols of our past. Through each metamorphosis, Gutierrez re-envisions a diverse canon of radical heroines who have achieved legendary cultural influence over thousands of years in both art history and pop culture.

New York, New York 10001 United States
View Venue Website

Founded in 2013 by Mary Ryan and Jeffrey Lee, RYAN LEE gallery has established itself as a welcoming place of discovery and dialogue for art ranging from post-war art to the contemporary. Celebrating emerging and established artists and estates, the gallery takes a multi-generational approach to its programming, presenting innovative and scholarly exhibitions across all spectrums of art practices, including painting, photography, video, sculpture, and performance. The gallery takes chances on a wide variety of boundary-pushing artists; their work consistently transcends political, cultural, material, or technical boundaries. In addition, RYAN LEE has, throughout its history, demonstrated its long-standing interest and dedication to feminist, Black and Asian American, as well as queer narratives in the twentieth and twenty first centuries. The gallery is led by partners of different generations and backgrounds with over six decades of combined experiences informing its unique approach.


Martine Gutierrez (b. 1989 Berkeley, CA) is a transdisciplinary artist, performing, writing, composing and directing narrative scenes to subvert pop-culture identity tropes—both personally and collectively intersectional to the discriminations of race, gender, class and nationality. Guiterrez examines advertising in order to hybridize the industry’s objectification of sex with the individual’s pursuit of self, satirically undermining the aesthetics of what we know. It is Gutierrez herself who executes every role—simultaneously acting as subject, artist, and muse. These complicated intersections are innate to Gutierrez’s own multicultural upbringing as a first generation artist of indigenous descent and as an LGBTQ ally. Her malleable, ever-evolving self-image catalogs the confluence of seemingly disparate modes, conveying limitless potential for reinvention and reinterpretation.

June 7 | 10:00 am 11:30 am

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.
