I've watched Brion's work over the past 5 years take many turns, but each is an attempt to express the inexpressible, to make connections to something this is not present, or a thought that has yet to form. His gestures and language often border on the intentionally ridiculous, but always are bold and assured, and upon first glance, perhaps that is their sword. Over time, his work has revealed a quiet confidence, and a willingness for flirty comparison with other modernist artists grappling with form, color, gesture, connection, and the void. - David John<br /><br /><br /><b>BRION NUDA ROSCH: FORMS & OBJECTS JULY 18—AUGUST 30, 2014 </b></i><br /><br /><i><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://adamsandollman.com/"><b>Adams and Ollman </b></a><span style="font-size: small;">is</span></span> pleased to present <b>Forms & Objects</b>, an exhibition of new work by Brion Nuda Rosch on view with a selection of Pre-Columbian Peruvian ceramics.  Rosch’s assemblages—made with materials that are humble in origin and slightly altered or transformed—are presented on pedestals where they defy easy categorization as paintings or sculptures, insignificant or monumental. These poetic, slight works works, united by a single color—a deep, earthy red-brown— and dominated by a simple shape—a rectangle, irregular and often missing a corner, are ambiguous in form and meaning, yet call to mind signposts that mark and highlight the ancient objects in the room.  </i><br /><br /><i><b>United by several themes, across time, place and intention, Rosch's contemporary works and the Pre-Columbian Peruvian pottery are found, fragmented, abstract, and guided by rule and ritual.</b> Rosch’s creative process, which involves searching for, manipulating and layering found materials, is evocative of the archaeological process of digging for evidence of a lost culture.  The people of the Nazca culture, who flourished from 100 BC to 600 AD on the southern coast of Peru, didn’t leave a historical record in the form of a written language. Their cups, vases, and effigy forms, while highly abstract, contain illustrations of anthropomorphic creatures and ritualistic trophy heads that provide us with insight into these ancient peoples. Similarly, a central shape—a paired down head or bust—pushes Rosch's works into the realm of figuration.  </i><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><i><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOYvoO8CwB2r45zpCWkrth9HGjdRwbvIUMnrX9OMqGCdg2B6nCsH2yGBCpFu5XX4K2TdpxmZHkrt54y3MxHsffrwGeQzEMlvM2q8r-9GAaQwGXNru6P9kgBpwUNZK2NnbeuWkX5Jo0dK4v/s1600/DSC_3219-1000px_600.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOYvoO8CwB2r45zpCWkrth9HGjdRwbvIUMnrX9OMqGCdg2B6nCsH2yGBCpFu5XX4K2TdpxmZHkrt54y3MxHsffrwGeQzEMlvM2q8r-9GAaQwGXNru6P9kgBpwUNZK2NnbeuWkX5Jo0dK4v/s1600/DSC_3219-1000px_600.jpg" /></a></i> <br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><i><br /></i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>Brion Nuda Rosch Blank Form, 2014 acrylic, paper on found book page 11 x 9 inches</i></div><br /><br /><br />"Working within the context of Pre-Columbian Peruvian pottery, Rosch further expands his practice of constructing or reconstructing narrative and identity through objects.

The title of the exhibition stems from Marcel Proust’s novel “A la Recherche du Temps Perdu (In Search of Lost Time)”, a prominent literary work of the 20th century. Certain affinities with the novel can be found at the core of this exhibition, in the sense that the focus of the novel, much like the focus of this exhibition, is not necessarily on the development of a coherent evolution, but rather on a multiplicity of perspectives, and on the formation of experience. In Search of Modern features examples of seminal work by modernist designers, architects, furniture makers and ceramicists and it engages the contemporary viewer in a discourse on design during the modern industrial boom, a socially progressive era and a trend of thought that affirmed the power of human beings to create, improve and reshape their environment with the aid of practical experimentation, scientific knowledge and technology. The rise of modern design to public prominence indicates that the distance in perspective between modernism and contemporary is less than often assumed. </i><br /><br /><i>This exhibition contributes to the ongoing process of absorbing one of the most influential and inventive times in design and architecture. The exhibition features the work of: Gae Aulenti, Eileen Gray, Greta Grossman, Charles and Ray Eames, Charles Pollock, Paul McCobb, Milo Baughman, Ben Seibel, Hans Wegner, Torbjorn Afdal, Robert Maxwell, David Cressey, John Follis, Malcom Leland and La Gardo Tackett.   </i><br /><a href="http://www.hildebrandtstudio.com/exhibitions/#/in-search-of-modern/"><br /></a><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXV_xnVTen1fu0_vSS7R_3ZajoMhJ_-9nyYel9DRcw7ezzirzf5GXKbxAmhaIu7oVHef8S2kl6P_C-ELBAcKn1dYjYmzFLK3qsI4bcznhSE8ijsTCEHFX3g8G2M0gb4_Gu49ijVOZSFniI/s1600/HS+ISOM+6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXV_xnVTen1fu0_vSS7R_3ZajoMhJ_-9nyYel9DRcw7ezzirzf5GXKbxAmhaIu7oVHef8S2kl6P_C-ELBAcKn1dYjYmzFLK3qsI4bcznhSE8ijsTCEHFX3g8G2M0gb4_Gu49ijVOZSFniI/s1600/HS+ISOM+6.jpg" width="640" /></a></i></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.hildebrandtstudio.com/exhibitions/#/in-search-of-modern/"><i>HILDEBRANDT STUDIO </i></a><br /><i>5880 Blackwelder Street </i><br /><i>Los Angeles, CA 90232 </i><br /><i>Gallery Hours: 12-7 pm </i><br /><i>Tuesday - Saturday By Appointment Only </i><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><i>----------------- </i></div>

"Like his home country of Japan, Ryuichi Sakamoto can be categorised completely objectively under one word: pioneering. He's an old man now, but whilst many might associate age with being stuck in the past or unable to change, Sakamoto has led his career on exactly opposite principles. Born in 1952, he's lived a life that's found it's own chronological parallels in music. As a young boy learning piano, he became fascinated by Debussy. As a teenager, he found himself listening to The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, and later on - much to the disapproval of his classical teachers - electronic pioneers like Kraftwerk." <a href="http://soundinflux.blogspot.com/2013/07/ryuichi-sakamoto-three.html">text via here. </a><br /><br />2. <b>Concetto Spaziale</b>, Attese, executed in 1960, is an important work in the oeuvre of Lucio Fontana that has been an undeniable highlight in Andy Warhol’s collection until his death in 1987. It is an outstanding example of the work to come out of the Spazialismo (Spatialism) movement, founded by the artist in 1947. Six carefully remeditated cuts run across the thinly painted monochromic canvas, emphasising the physicality of this work. It is charged with energy of the physical act of the artist slashing the surface with the knife. This physical act or gesture became the central idea of Spatialism, to the extent that it figured in the movement’s ‘First Spatial manifesto’: “it doesn’t matter to us if a gesture, once accomplished, lives for a second or a millennium, for we are convinced that, having accomplished it, it is eternal” (in E. Crispolti and R. Siligato, eds., Lucio Fontana, Milan, 1998, p. 118). Through the use of gesture, Fontana was in fact one of the first artists to perceive art as a performance. In the ‘Technical Manifesto of Spatialism’, Fontana elaborates on Spatialism’s ambitions: “Painted canvas no longer makes sense… What is needed… is a change in both essence and form. It is necessary to go beyond the painting, sculpture and poetry… In the praise of this transformation in the nature of man, we abandon the use of known forms of art and move towards the development of an art upon the unity of space and time” (in M. Gooding, Abstract Art, London, 2001, p. 88). <a href="http://phillipsauction.tumblr.com/post/19587007687/lucio-fontana-concetto-spaziale-attese-1960">via here. </a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">------------</div>
