MISSION OF ARMORY ARTS WEEK
In its seventeen years, The Armory Show, America’s leading fine art fair devoted to the most important art of the 20th and 21st centuries, has become an international institution, bringing artists, galleries, collectors, critics and curators from all over the world to New York every March. Armory Arts Week strives to take advantage of this yearly convergence of the world’s top collectors and art enthusiasts by proudly consolidating and promoting a diverse selection of our city’s own cultural offerings.
In celebration of New York’s unparalleled artistic communities, Armory Arts Week works to highlight the distinct non-profit cultural organizations of our city’s multiple neighborhoods and boroughs. Throughout the week of The Armory Show, we promote a different neighborhood each day with cultural events for all levels of visitors.
This concept of a week of non-profit arts-related events was born out of the festivities and widely-felt excitement generated by The Armory Show, and was formalized with the support of the city in 2009. Since then, Armory Arts Week has continued to expand its reach throughout all five boroughs of New York. From elaborate benefit parties to interactive public programming, The Armory Show hopes that Armory Arts Week will continue to enrich the public through the promotion of New York’s exceptional arts-related events.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art
Metropolitan Museum of Art, Fifth Avenue at 82nd Street, New York
This exhibition celebrates the gift of Thomas Hart Benton's epic mural America Today from AXA Equitable Life Insurance Company to The Metropolitan Museum of Art in December 2012.

Showing a sweeping panorama of American life throughout the 1920s, America Today ranks among Benton's most renowned works and is one of the most remarkable accomplishments in American art of the period.

The exhibition will trace Cézanne’s lifelong attachment to the woman who was his model, his wife, and the mother of his son, Paul. She profoundly influenced his portrait practice for more than two decades and yet she was not well received—by either his family or his friends.

JOHN ZURIER: WEST OF THE FUTURE
Peter Blum Gallery
20 West 57th Street, NYC
Peter Blum is pleased to announce an exhibition of paintings by John Zurier entitled West of the Future at 20 West 57th Street, New York. There will be an opening reception on Friday February 13, from 6 to 8 p.m. The exhibition runs through April 4. John Zurier’s new works, created in 2014 and 2015, are heavily influenced and inspired by his recent travels in Iceland. His abstract paintings evoke the natural light, sky, fog and ice of the ethereal terrain. The exhibition’s title, West of the Future, is a direction that is difficult to grasp because it exists outside of time and yet, is something that can be imagined or felt. This same kind of ambiguity is what the artist strives for in his paintings. For Zurier, West of the Future implies a luminous immeasurable distance.

LITTLE NEMO: DREAM ANOTHER DREAM
Society of Illustrators
128 East 63rd Street, NYC
Winsor McCay was perhaps the greatest cartoonist of all time and the Sunday newspaper strip Little Nemo in Slumberland is his most enduring creation. Detailing the adventures of its titular character in The Land of Wonderful Dreams, the early twentieth century opus is one of the most inventive and visually stunning works of American art. A century later, the comic medium is still racing to keep up with the richness, draftsmanship, imagination, and wonder of McCay’s fantastic storytelling and wild Slumberland universe.

ALTERNATIVE WEEKLY COMICS: THE EXHIBIT
Society of Illustrators
128 East 63rd Street, NYC
The alt-weekly world traces its roots back to such newspapers as The Village Voice, which began its weekly schedule in 1955. The 1960s gave rise to a number of weekly newspapers, characterized as 'underground' newspapers such as New York's East Village Other and Washington, D.C.'s Quicksilver Times. These underground papers were driven mainly by the politics of the 1960s and as those issues receded, the underground press began a rapid decline through the 1970s.

HELENA RUBINSTEIN: BEAUTY IS POWER
The Jewish Museum
The Jewish Museum, 1109 Fifth Avenue at 92nd Street, NYC
Helena Rubinstein: Beauty Is Power is the first museum exhibition to explore the ideas, innovations, and influence of the legendary cosmetics entrepreneur and art collector Helena Rubinstein (1872-1965). She was not only an early patron of European and Latin American modern art, but also one of the earliest leading collectors of African and Oceanic sculpture. Through 200 objects – works of art by Picasso, Nadelman, Kahlo, Matisse, and others, African and Oceanic art, photographs, jewelry, and designer clothing – the exhibition reveals how Rubinstein’s unique style and pioneering approach to collecting challenged conservative taste and heralded a modern notion of beauty.

LAMAR PETERSON (SOLO EXHIBITION)
Fredericks & Freiser
536 West 24th Street, NYC
Fredericks & Freiser is pleased to announce an exhibition of new paintings by Lamar Peterson. Peterson dissects constructs of the American dream as he comments on domesticity, masculinity, representations of blackness, and class anxieties. Having shown for more than a decade, Peterson is now exploring new mediums as he increases the scale of his works and moves from acrylic to oil. His evolving practice mimics the narrative of his pieces as he captures movement and transformation, change and balance. Sourcing imagery from popular culture, fairytales, canonical art history, comic books, and science fiction, Peterson's vision is both biting and playful.

ORI GERSHT: ON REFLECTION
CRG Gallery
548 West 22nd Street, NYC
CRG is pleased to present London-based artist Ori Gersht’s seventh solo exhibition with the gallery. Ori Gersht’s recent works examine how painting and photography represents reality. Gersht interacts with three of Jan Brueghel the Elder’s floral paintings from 1606, now in Vienna’s Kunst Historisches Museum. For Gersht, Brueghel’s painting and the city of Vienna embrace a certain sense of exuberant decadence and imperialism, a metaphor he connects to our own time.

HAYV KAHRAMAN, HOW IRAQI ARE YOU?
Jack Shainman Gallery
513 West 20th Street, NYC
Hayv Kahraman’s work grapples with the marginal spaces between Western and Middle Eastern culture, aesthetics, and concepts of gender through her personal history as an Iraqi émigré to Europe and ultimately the US. Her paintings elegantly recall Japanese style calligraphy, Italian Renaissance painting, and illuminated Arab manuscripts, though the subjects are deeply and psychologically brutal. Her work calls back to these Western and Middle Eastern art histories, but her aesthetic, as an immigrant, belongs to neither.

Driscoll Babcock Galleries
525 West 25th Street, NYC
Presenting Wafaa Bilal’s new exhibition at Driscoll Babcock “Wafaa Bilal: Lovely Pink" and celebrating the artist’s inclusion on the 2015 Armory Show. In the wake of ISIS’ brutality and the wanton destruction of Iraqi cultural heritage, Lovely Pink resonates with the destabilization of iconographic structures, exploring their potential to generate a multiplicity of meaning through aesthetic intervention. By harnessing a minimal language of signs, the focus shifts from an authoritative perspective to any number of possible interpretations.

PULP DRUNK: MEXICAN PULP ART FROM THE 1960S-1970S
Ricco/Maresca Gallery
529 West 20th Street, 3rd Floor, NYC
The lurid cover art of Mexican Pulp Art is a pop culture revelation. These sensationalized images from the sixties and seventies often feature surreal and lurid images of extraterrestrials, robots, dinosaurs, killers, Zorro, and many other icons involving suspense, mystery, romance, and the supernatural. The central characters in the narratives tend to be ordinary people facing the common challenges of day-to-day life.

HADIEH SHAFIE: SURFACED
Leila Heller Gallery

The exhibition will feature twenty new artworks and both builds on her much acclaimed past work and explores new mediums. An illustrated catalogue with an essay by Thyrza Nichols Goodeve will accompany the exhibition.
Shaftie's colorful and multidimensional works defy simple categorization. The artist layers thousands of strips of hand painted paper, which are then rolled into scrolls and placed within a frame or stacked flat. Persian words like eshgh ("love") are inscribed on and often concealed within the layers of paper. Shafie's repeated use of words and phrases references meditative practices that are central to Sufism.

ALISON ROSSITER, PAPER WAIT
Yossi Milo Gallery
245 Tenth Avenue, NYC
Alison Rossiter’s photographs are created without a camera on expired, vintage photo paper. The artist experiments with gelatin silver papers she collects from throughout the 20th century, making controlled marks by pouring or pooling photographic developer directly onto the surface of the paper. Dark forms emerge which often resemble mountainous landscapes or active tornados while other shapes are paired by the artist to create minimalist diptychs.

NAM JUNE PAIK
James Cohan Gallery
533 West 26th Street, NYC
James Cohan Gallery is pleased to present the multi-monitor, sculptural installation M200/Video Wall, (1991) by the visionary and peripatetic artist Nam June Paik, along with selected works from the early 1990s. The exhibition opens on February 12 and runs through March 14, 2015. The Korean-born artist died at age 73 in January 2006.
Nam June Paik is commonly hailed as the “father" of new media art for his discoveries in music, video, performance, television broadcast and technological experimentation. He balanced a Utopian philosophy with a technical pragmatism and a subversive sense of humor, creating works that drew on chance encounters between ideas, the object and the public.

JULIA DAULT: MAKER’S MARK
Marianne Boesky Gallery
509 West 24th Street, NYC
Marianne Boesky Gallery is pleased to present Maker's Mark, an exhibition of new work by Canadian-born, New York–based artist Julia Dault. This is the artist's first solo show in New York since joining the gallery in 2013, and will be on view from February 20 to March 21, 2015, at 509 W. 24th Street, New York.
For several years, Dault has created abstract paintings and sculptures that reveal the processes of their own creation. In this exhibition, she continues this exploration of artistic labor, in part through constraining, repeating, or mechanically reproducing her gestures. Similarly, compositional elements she devises for her paintings coexist with those produced industrially: some of her surfaces are created with brushes, others with non-traditional tools like rubber combs, sea sponges, or foam blocks; some paintings' patterns derive solely from printed fabrics, while others are accompanied by artist-designed frames that complement or contrast what's on the canvas. She creates each painting with a novel combination of materials, implements, and set of rules governing its making.

A self-taught artist unbound by classical academic strictures, McCloud approaches his work in a visceral, physical way, privileging blowtorches and hammers as much as brushes and palettes.

It includes artists whose unique ideas developed outside the circuit of art world institutions, often with limited interaction with other peers. Each offers a highly individualistic, authentic, and imaginative practice that roughly falls into one of four identifiable areas commonly absent from mainstream art-historical narratives: pseudo-science, science fiction, eroticism, and the occult.

BRAD TROEMEL: ON VIEW: SELECTIONS FROM THE TROEMEL COLLECTION
Zach Feuer Gallery
548 West 22nd Street, NYC
Did you know I’m an emerging art collector? I am! I collect many things, but art is unique. By paying for something we love, collectors ensure the future production of more things made in the image of our purchased work, propelling artists’ careers through dynamic cycles of reflection, production, and exhibition. As the artist gains a higher profile the value of the work purchased escalates, validating the artist as well as us early adopters for having the insight to take a risk on the unforeseen talent others didn’t immediately recognize. Through hard work, innovation, and entrepreneurism everyone’s effort becomes jet fuel in the flight of culture. I present for the first time in a gallery, not an exploration of my own creative pursuits, but a look inside the mind and archive of Brad Troemel: the collector.

Harvestworks Digital Media Art Center presents Brendan Fernandes’ multichannel moving image work “(buli)" and recent video works. "(buli)" explores the barriers and codes that language creates through the lens of ethnicity. The work looks at Dada writing fashions that play on repetition and nonsensicality, while referencing wall labels and provenance reports of African objects in museum collections. The work offers a minimalist aesthetic with complex moments that question colonial histories through the removal and loss of cultural goods. Buli was produced in part through the Harvestworks Artist in Residence Program.

BIANCA BECK & JOSH BRAND
Rachel Uffner Gallery
170 Suffolk Street, NYC
Rachel Uffner Gallery is pleased to present two new shows. An exhibition of work by Bianca Beck and Josh Brand will occupy the first floor of the gallery, while a solo presentation by Bianca Beck will be on view in the upstairs space.
Beck will exhibit gouache drawings, oil paintings on wood panel, small “page paintings" on thin sheets of wood, carved reliefs, and painted sculptures in varying scales. Brand will exhibit photographs, collages, and video. Beck and Brand share a commitment to an open-ended and continuous process influenced by their private life together.
For Beck’s second solo show with the gallery, she goes deeper into the landscape of the body. Fueled by grey skies, political madness, music, and dreams, these new works survey a surrealist field of recurring images: memories and visions of birth, sex, death, dance, and childhood. Her materials (mirrors, found wood, human hair) and colors (blues, blacks, neons, earth hues) create a literal and symbolic structure for her explorations of flesh, sensation, and consciousness.
Brand makes art via the processes of photography, drawing, collage, and filmmaking. His work shifts between various categories including abstraction, autobiography, and perceptual experimentation. Brand’s works in this show generate psychological depth from minimal materials: sticks, curtains, glass, vague figures, scraps of paper. His three most recent solo shows were titled Nature, Face, and Peace Being.

Fueled by grey skies, political madness, music, and dreams, these new works survey a surrealist field of recurring images: memories and visions of birth, sex, death, dance, and childhood. Her materials (mirrors, found wood, human hair) and colors (blues, blacks, neons, earth hues) create a literal and symbolic structure for her explorations of flesh, sensation, and consciousness.
Brand makes art via the processes of photography, drawing, collage, and filmmaking. His work shifts between various categories including abstraction, autobiography, and perceptual experimentation. Brand’s works in this show generate psychological depth from minimal materials: sticks, curtains, glass, vague figures, scraps of paper. His three most recent solo shows were titled Nature, Face, and Peace Being.

PSYCHLOTRON
Whitebox Art Center
Whitebox Art Center, 329 Broome Street #1, NYC
Whitebox Art Center and curator Lara Pan are introducing a multi disciplinary performance platform,¨PSYCHLOTRON conceived by artist John Bonafede. Based in NYC, Psychlotron* is an interdisciplinary art and performance event, the name comes from the term psychologist Timothy Leary coined in the 1960s. Leary assimilated the term from the field of subatomic physics, in particular the spiral of magnets that align atoms before they are smashed together in a particle collider. That spiral of magnets is known as a cyclotron. The colliding particles in Leary’s social experimentation are the humans present. The concept is that psyches ¨smash¨ together in a creative context wherein unknown outcomes arise in an autonomous space.

THIAGO ROCHA PITTA: STILL FROM TEMPORAL MAPS OF A NON-SEDIMENTED LAND
Marianne Boesky Gallery
20 Clinton Street, NYC
BOESKY EAST is pleased to present Temporal Maps of a Non-Sedimented Land, a solo exhibition of work by Thiago Rocha Pitta. This is Rocha Pitta’s first show at the gallery, organized in collaboration with curator Simon Watson. The exhibition will run from February 22 – March 22, 2015, at 20 Clinton Street, New York.
Thiago Rocha Pitta’s temporal and sensitive art often depicts environments from his native Brazil. Through watercolor, photography, sculpture, and video, Rocha Pitta focuses on small, yet emotive elements of the natural world, whether ocean tide, rainclouds, or trails of sap. His work manages to decelerate the passage of time within a single frame or subject, requiring the viewer’s close attention and quiet introspection.
In this exhibition, Rocha Pitta develops his study of nature through an installation of five videos, each depicting a different desert terrain in Argentina. Referred to as “maps," these videos capture a deceptively small physical alteration in the land that causes it to either fall, collapse, or become wet or dry. Although an organic process is not at play here (the alterations are the artist’s experiments), the videos still surge with activity and transformation which allude to universal forces like entropy and death.

TAMAR HALPERN MY VOICE AT THE PACE OF DRIFTING CLOUDS
On Stellar Rays
1 Rivington Street
Halpern presents new paintings on linen, using photography, collage, and ink-jet printing to build layered surfaces combining graphic elements and more atmospheric imagery.
As with previous work, photography plays an essential role in Halpern’s studio, capturing simple visual information available in her immediate environment — walls, floors, water, textiles, a cat, a screen, the work itself — in an improvisational and nondiscriminatory manner that acknowledges the subjective nature of photography, while further actuating the fragmentary and non-specific nature of circulated images.

BOOKS BY EDWARD RUSCHA
Zucker Art Books
Zucker Art Books at Gagosian Shop Gagosian, 976 Madison Ave at 76th street, New York
This exhibition of Ed Ruscha’s early books is an homage to his first presentation of artists’ books at Gal- erie Heiner Friedrich in Munich 45 years ago (exhibition dates: March 17 to April 4, 1970) and to Henry T. Hopkins, (1928–2009), an eminent museum director, curator, and educator, who played a leading role in establishing the Los Angeles art scene in the 1960s and 1970s. The current exhibition showcases Ruscha’s extraordinary books, all those published before 1978, plus a collection of the first 17 books. Several are in- timately inscribed to Hopkins. The original catalogue from the 1970 show is on display, together with documents and ephemera related to Ruscha’s books. Also included is the more recent On the Road, published by Gagosian Gallery and Steidl in 2010, a book on the 1957 classic novel of the same title by Jack Kerouac, in which Ruscha added black and white images (his own and other people’s) to the original text.

LAMIA JOREIGE: RECORDS FOR UNCERTAIN TIMES
Taymour Grahne
157 Hudson Street, NYC
Taymour Grahne Gallery is proud to present Records for Uncertain Times, Lamia Joreige’s first solo exhibition in the United States. A visual artist and filmmaker based in Beirut, Lebanon, Lamia Joreige uses archival documents and elements of fiction to reflect on history and its possible narration, and the relation between individual stories and collective memory. Her practice is rooted in Lebanon’s historic experiences, and explores the possibilities of representation of the Lebanese wars and their aftermath, particularly in Beirut, a city at the center of much of her practice. Joreige's work essentially centers on the recording of time, of its trace and its effects on us, underlining the process of memory and the impossibility of accessing a complete narrative. The exhibition includes several interconnected and ongoing projects set in the context of Beirut among which, her latest body of work: One Night of Sleep, Under–Writing Beirut – Mathaf and Under–Writing Beirut – Nahr.

101 SPRING STREET
Judd Foundation
101 Spring Street, NYC
Please join us for guided visits of 101 Spring Street, the former New York home and studio of Donald Judd. 101 Spring Street is considered to be the birthplace of "permanent installation," now a hallmark of contemporary art, as well as an inspiration for much of Judd's work. Judd's concept of "permanent installation," centered on the belief that the placement of a work of art was as critical to its understanding as the work itself. Works on view at 101 Spring Street remain as they were installed by Judd prior to his death. Artists represented in the collection include Carl Andre, Frank Stella, David Novros, Claes Oldenburg, and Lucas Samaras.
Guided visits available for 11am, 1pm, 2pm & 4pm

MTA Arts & Design
Knickerbocker Avenue Station, M Train, NYC
At the Knickerbocker Avenue subway station on the M line, artist Cal Lane created The Digs, a series of steel sculptural panels that adorn the elevated station platforms with intricate lace-like pattern in the form of steel shovels.
The shovels are arranged in a pattern that is reminiscent of architectural arch often seen in the station’s Bushwick neighborhood. Lane was drawn to the image of the shovel for its contrasting relationship between the functional shape of a utilitarian object and the elegance of a classic arch.

VISION QUEST
Museum of Contemporary African Diasporan Arts (MoCADA)
MoCADA, 80 Hanson Place, Brooklyn, NY 1127
Vision Quest is a collection of whimsical, visual tales of powerful female protagonists on earthly and otherworldly adventures. Artists Amaryllis DeJesus Moleski and Sheena Rose use works on paper, hand-drawn animations and mixed-media works to recount their experiences and create new stories of voyages through time and space. Existing at the crux of the playful and the political, the artists have invented their own visual languages to document women’s stories in ways that diverge from dominant narratives of female experience. Each body of work exists as a travel narrative that blurs the lines between past, present and future, and invites viewers to faraway lands while exposing the magic that exists all around us.

based practice treats objects, images and the human voice as raw material, personal signifiers and semantic stand-ins. Through rhythm and syncopation of visual détournement, she creates experimental strategies for reading the world.

HITO STEYERL
Artist's Space
38 Greene Street, 3rd Floor; Artist Space Books & Talks: 55 Walker Street
Visit Artists Space for the opening reception of Hito Steyerl, the first survey exhibition in the United States of the work of this exceptional artist. Steyerl’s work has developed through her dual practices as a filmmaker and writer. Her films, essays and lectures uniquely articulate the contemporary status of the image, its production and its circulation. Central to Steyerl’s work is the notion that global communication technologies, and the attendant mediation of the world through images, has had a dramatic impact on conceptions of politics, culture, economics and subjectivity.
Saturday March 7, 5 pm - Lecture by Hito Steyerl
Sunday March 8, 7 pm - Hito Steyerl and Keller Easterling in Conversation

R/F/A/V
NURTUREart Non Profit Inc.
56 Bogart Street, Brooklyn, NY
R/F/A/V is a performance by Matthew C. Lange, Michelle Leftheris, Adam Ryder, and Phoebe Streblow in conjunction with their exhibition, Rational Formal at NURTUREart. The artists will select and organize prints and objects from one another's work in order to question notions of authorship, meaning, and the informational value of images. R/F/A/V will overlay the exhibition space with videos, slide projections, field recordings, spoken word, mix-tapes and other materials that have informed or inspired the works exhibited in Rational Formal. The artists will exchange images and audio, juxtapose them against each other's exhibited works, and reconfigure them in abstract narratives.
7pm - 8pm
Thursday - Monday, 12pm - 6pm
