Gallery Events

Albright Knox
Extreme Abstraction

The Albright-Knox Art Gallery building on its long and rich tradition of collecting and exhibiting significant abstract art will bring together some of the most dynamic forms of abstraction being created today in a wide-ranging exhibition this summer. Extreme Abstraction, opening July 15 and on view through October 2, will highlight a selection of distinguished international artists who continue to push this art form¹s outer limits. Among the contemporary artists to be represented are Polly Apfelbaum, Ingrid Calame, Arturo Herrera, Damien Hirst, Liam Gillick, Katharina Grosse, Jim Isermann, David Reed, and Franz West. The contemporary works include 18 site-specific installations, 11 of which were commissioned especially for the Albright-Knox, many recent acquisitions, and a selection of loaned works from private collections, dealers, and artists. Works in all media including installation, painting, sculpture, photography, and video will be included.

Hours: Tuesday-Saturday:11 AM-5 PM.

The Exquisite Corpse in Glass: Contemporary Flameworkers Play A Surrealist Game
September 26, 2005 -February 12, 2006

Ten internationally-recognized figurative glass sculptors were invited to ³play² a modern version of the Surrealist game, cadavre exquis (exquisite corpse). In the original game, the players would write words on bits of paper, which would then be drawn at random to create nonsensical (or amazingly profound) sentences. The first sentence ever created this way gave the game its name: ³The exquisite corpse drinks the young wine.²

Hours: Wed-Sat 11am-5pm; Sun 1-5pm.

Gail McCarthy: Fire and Light
August 13, 2005 February 6, 2006

Ceramic artist Gail McCarthy has distinguished herself by producing sumptuous lustered vessels and wall-hung tile murals. Her patient process requires multiple kiln firings to produce iridescent, metallic luster finishes whose colors radiate with prismatic complexity. A selection of her work is presented with support from the Sylvia L. Rosen Endowment to mark her long career in this region.

Abstraction
August 27 November 20, 2005

The Burchfield-Penney Art Center is proud to present an exhibition that illustrates developments in twentieth-century abstraction by many of Western New York¹s most accomplished artists. Participating in the rich international history of this aesthetic movement, our region¹s artists have pursued the full gamut of conceptual and technical perspectives. Their work parallels the progress made when art became more psychologically symbolic to express the radical historical and technological changes occurring in the world.Artists represented include Robert Flock, Charles Clough, Alan Van Every, Yoonsook Ryang and Sheldon Berlyn.
