A GREAT DELICACY
Michael Bilsborough, McKendree Key, Danica Phelps, Gregory Parma Smith and Rebecca Veit + Kathryn Hillier
October 20 – December 1, 2007
Opening Reception: Saturday, October 20, 2007, 6-8PM
Taylor De Cordoba is pleased to present A Great Delicacy, a group show featuring 5 New York based artists, curated by Melissa Levin. A great delicacy can be an indulgence, but is also a way (with which) to render and create. The artists in this show are making work about food, sex, waste spills in the ocean, and the ways we digest or filter our own consumption. And there is an awareness in the work of the way we consume, a great delicacy in the treatment of the concepts and the rendering whether through photography, painting, drawing or collage. Generally it is more and more possible to become disconnected from what we eat, with whom we make love, where our waste goes after it leaves our cars, homes, and bodies. Each of the artists represented in this show are attentive to these things, if not in we of them.

For much of the past two decades artists have luxuriated in an abundance of resources new and old, and in mixing and quite often deliberately mismatching them in exemplary ways. An alternative also exists. Neither a return to the purist traditional concept of "truth to materials" nor to the purist modernist one of "less is more," such an approach tends towards pragmatic invention with whatever may be at hand, and responds imaginatively to the relative quantity or scarcity of it. It can be an art of "muchness" or an "ultra povera" art of extreme spareness, it can be lasting or totally ephemeral. In essence, though, it consists of anything the artist chooses to do while making do with with a given material of their choice. Those anyway are the loosely conceived rules of the game we have asked five artists to play at the Green Hall Gallery where they will come to work in situ for a week. - Robert Storr, Dean Yale School of Art

The Newark Arts Council is pleased to announce the opening of Red Badge of Courage, on Sunday, October 28th when it will present new work by 66 artists from New Jersey, New York and abroad in a 13,000 square foot space in downtown Newark .
Curated by Omar Lopez-Chahoud, the exhibition is based on the life and work of 19th century writer/poet/journalist Stephen Crane, a native of Newark. Although he died young, at age 28, Crane's work and life have inspired many artists throughout the years: His portrait was used by the Beatles on the cover of their album Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. The 2001 film The Dark Riders was based on a Crane poem. And there have been a number of film versions of The Red Badge of Courage, the most famous of which was directed by John Huston and released in 1951. The Red Badge of Courage tells the story of a young man’s life as a soldier during the American Civil War
More than one hundred years after Crane’s death, the artists in the show Red Badge of Courage use historical references as a tool to interpret and represent their concerns with contemporary society. Newark is a city rich in history, from the 19th century manufacturing boom through the depression years and past that to the infamous 1960's riots. But today’s Newark is also going through many changes as it is on its way towards becoming a major economic and cultural center again.
Participating artists:
Manuel Acevedo, Olga Adelantado, Nils Folke Anderson, Nina Lola Bachhuber, Robert Beck, Chelsea Beck, Michael Bilsborough, Marylou and Jerome Bonjiorno, Chakaia Booker, Javier Cambre, Brendan Carroll, Mary Ellen Carroll, Cesar Cornejo, Kevin Darmanie, Michael DeLucia, Raul deNieves, Dan Devine, Christoph Draeger, Dahlia Elsayed, caraballo-farman, Adriana Farmiga, Asha Ganpat, Aunrico Gatson, Jeffrey Gibson, Kate Gilmore, Danny Glix, Mark Golamco, Rashawn Griffin, Akintola Hanif (Hyze), Rachel B.

The Secret Clubhouse project
In Secret Clubhouse #1, a still-unrevealed location in a warehouse in Long Island City, artists have been working for six months. Each artist received a key to the space but had no idea what they would find. Each artist was given two weeks to produce work based on whatever was left behind by previous artists. None of the artists know each other, yet each has the same task: to solve the unfinished aesthetic 'problems' left behind and create new challenges for the next artists. As they work, they leave phone messages on an answering service explaining what the space looks like as they've found it, what they have changed, and why.
The artists in Secret Clubhouse #2 received a key to the LMCC space at 125 Maiden Lane. They alone listened to the phone messages from Secret Clubhouse #1 but never went to that space. Listening to the messages, they created graphical representations of and responses to the descriptions they heard. The events at Secret Clubhouse #1 were thus translated through verbal descriptions to the artists at Secret Clubhouse #2 and now take on a second life on the walls of 125 Maiden Lane.
Secret Clubhouse #2 contains work from:
Lauren Berke [www.simkinberke.com], Daupo [www.daupo.com], Andrea Dezsö [www.andreadezso.com], Sarah Glidden, Eun-Ha Paek [www.milkyelephant.com/eun-ha],
Fay Ryu [www.fayryu.com], David Sandlin [www.davidsandlin.com]
Special thanks to Radhika Subramaniam and the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council for their support of this project. And special thanks to The Believer Magazine, which will publish a story about the project in the coming year.
