Feel free, but not obliged, to bring a
drink or treat to share with
us… One spring morning in a bedroom,
a blue bedroom in Mott Haven, a number
of objects were found, under a pile of
mattresses. No one can explain how they
got there. Yet, when people saw them,
they claimed it was a reminisce of the
findings at the banks of the Tiber river…
These findings will be open to the public,
for a short period of time. It is suggested
to be
discrete while visiting the site, due
to the possibility of the pieces being
of great value to the community.

Segue:
An Exhibition of Abstract Art
Weekdays, 10 – 4:30 p.m.
BOOMA (Booth Museum of Art)
Segue, a solo exhibition
of non-representational mixed media
and acrylic paintings by Detroit artist
Victor Pytko has been extended through
the end of summer at BooMA, the art
gallery at the PR firm M Booth &
Associates. The show opened in January.
Pytko, who was born in upstate New York
but has made his artistic career in
the Midwest, brings a rich selection
of mixed media and acrylic paintings
that represent the artist's transition
from 2003 to 2007 as he visually segues
between a pre-life, life and afterlife
thematic and a signature style. BooMA
is one of very few art collections mounted
in the halls of New York City public
relations firms. www.mbooth.com
Viewing until end
of summer by appointment only, weekdays

Takashi Murakami's
Oval Buddha
April 5 through July 13, 2008
590 Sculpture Garden in Manhattan
Takashi Murakami's
monumental, platinum-clad Oval Buddha, 2007,
will be exhibited in the 590 Sculpture Garden
in Manhattan. This exhibition is in conjunction
with the presentation of a major retrospective
of his work, © MURAKAMI, at the Brooklyn
Museum from April 5 through July 13, 2008.
Because of its enormous scale, it is not
possible for the 6,613 pound, 18 1/2 foot-tall
sculpture to be included in the Brooklyn
exhibition, but arrangements were made for
the 590 Sculpture Garden presentation to
coincide with this largest survey to date
of the work of the internationally acclaimed
Japanese artist.
The towering
work depicts a Janus-faced Oval, one of
the artist's signature characters, seated
in a meditative lotus position. Combining
traditional Japanese techniques and imagery
with several of Murakami's motifs, Oval
Buddha reflects the artist's evolving body,
mind, and spirit and his continuing exploration
of his cultural, national, religious, and
artistic reality.
First conceived
in 1999 when Murakami was asked to create
an iconic figure for a line of Issey Miyake
t-shirts, the Oval character was subsequently
utilized in a variety of different works.
Like many of the artist's other creatures,
it has metamorphosed in many applications,
culminating in Oval Buddha, which combines
the artist's distinct iconography with traditional
Buddhist motifs. Wearing a goatee similar
to that of the artist, Oval Buddha features
a frog like mouth, round potbelly, sagging
chest, and ghastly teeth. Bodily decay and
destruction are constant themes throughout
Murakami's oeuvre, as demonstrated in the
distortions of his alter ego DOB, who in
paintings and inflatable form has transformed
from a simple, balloon-like form to a menacing
creature.

Miki Lee and Michael McCaffrey
June 13 – July 28, 2008
Opening Reception Party: Friday, June 13,
6-9 pm
The Hogar Collection
The Hogar Collection is
very pleased to announce the upcoming group
exhibition, Obsessive Reductive, featuring
abstract painting and sculptural wall works
by six diverse artists who are all exploring
rich post-minimalist pictorial terrain. While
at first glance the work appears to share
the same cool, detached quality that characterizes
much minimal work, upon closer examination
all these pieces are clearly made by hand,
with the resulting imperfections and vicissitudes
not hindering the result but in fact being
essential to its effect. The handmade surface
gives the work a warmth and depth that belies
its formal rigor.
