The Steven Kasher Gallery is pleased to announce that we are now serving as Tracey Moffatt’s
exclusive
representative in the United States. Our first exhibition of Moffatt’s work, entitled Love
and Adventures, features
both photography and video. It is Moffatt’s first exhibition in New York since 2001.
Tracey Moffatt is Australia’s most accomplished visual artist. She has exhibited extensively
all over the world and has
garnered strong support from museums, critics and collectors. Since 1989, Moffatt has had 119
solo exhibits and
has been featured in over 150 group exhibitions.
Adventure Series, an eye-popping collection of 10 large photographic works that play with
pop-cultural staples such
as comic strips, television and B-movies. Moffatt says, “I love early-1970’s modern
adventure stories in comics and
movies, especially low-budget American and Australian television dramas. In these productions ‘adventure’ meant
jumping into a speedboat or a small plane to catch a ‘poacher’ and the stories were always
set in exotic locations.

BEC STUPAK
RADICAL EARTH MAGIC FLOWER
January 12 – February 25, 2005
76 Grand Street
Deitch Projects is pleased to present a new exhibition of video,
sculpture and performance by Bec Stupak. Couched in an exotic
harem-esque interior reminiscent of 1940’s B movies, her installation
uses video, sculpture, performance, elaborate set design, body paint,
and projected light to create a sense of euphoria.
The centerpiece of the exhibition is Bec's blind remake of Jack Smith’s
legendary film Flaming Creatures. Using members of her demimonde,
including performance drag group The Radical Fairies, Phiiliip, Agathe
Snow, and other downtown celebrities, she recreates the 1963 cult
classic based only on the impressions she’s collected from others of
what the film consists of. Where costume matters more than actor or
actress, anyone can get dressed up, loosened up, and sucked into this
world of bestial, mystical erotica.

On 12 January 2006 the Mary Boone Gallery will open at its Chelsea
location “Hiding In The Light”, an exhibition curated by Neville Wakefield.
Accepting the actuality of ANDY WARHOL’s often repeated quip on fifteen
minutes and fame, the show examines through the work of eight artists
the complex interchange of celebrity, audience, participation, and
escape. Fittingly, Warhol’s amateurish “Screen Tests” from
1964-1965 are projected onto the wall of the Gallery entryway.
The concept of the silver screen is then suddenly upended by a dazzling
mirrored floor by RUDOLF STINGEL that covers the expanse of the space,
ensnaring the viewer and the art works in reflected gazes and
spotlights.

Deitch Projects is pleased to present Hypnogoogia, a collaborative
installation by Jim Drain and Ara Peterson. In this incredible
cumulative show, 18 Wooster St. is transformed into an interactive,
spinning landscape-- a psychedelic music of the spheres featuring work
produced by the artists over the past two years.
Moving through corridors of rainbow pinwheels, a huge kaleidoscope
hallway, and four exactingly gorgeous geodesic sphere-shaped paintings
rotating slowly on the ground and ceiling, the viewer becomes immersed
in their lyrical, spherical environment. Hypnotically spinning on the
first platform is a twelve-foot rainbow ottoman, and above, a video
feed throwing the spinning participants on the wall
upstairs.
This show brings to ambitious fruition much of the imagery with which
Jim and Ara have been working for the past few years, where radiant
disks and morphing spherical forms found in their collages, wall
drawings, and video projects, are found here expanded to full
three-dimensionality and human
scale.

Breaking & Entering: Art and the Video Game
A group show featuring works by Cory Arcangel, Brody Condon,
Jon Haddock, JODI, Paper Rad, RSG and Eddo Stern
New York, December 1, 2005— PaceWildenstein is pleased to present
Breaking and Entering: Art and the Video Game an exhibition of work by
seven artists working at the forefront of the digital medium. The
digital, increasingly the medium of our everyday lives, is redefining
the way we interact with and perceive the world around us in much the
same way as the railroad redefined our geographical and cultural
landscape at the end of the nineteenth century. The works in this
exhibition map a new visual terrain, a terrain grounded not in material
reality but in numerical sequences of which the visual is just one of
many possible expressions. The digital is a realm that has only just
begun to be explored and the artists represented here are the first to
have broken into this new space. Treating the video game as a primary
visual expression of the digital, they make use of the skills they
honed as players to disrupt, reorganize and rewrite the visual surface
in novel ways. For each artist and group, breaking becomes a way of
entering.
