✦ A show of paintings on paper by New York City-based Sharon Horvath concluded last month at The Drawing Room in East Hampton. Images of some of the artist's more recent work are here and here. A 12-page catalogue of the 2012-13 exhibition is here (pdf). Take a look! Horvath's use of powdered pigments, ink, and polymer on paper mounted on canvas produces vivid, saturated colors that give her work an exotic feel that is at once beautiful and distinctive. You'll find here a 2011 video interview (20:19 minutes) with Horvath, who is an associate professor at Purchase College/SUNY.
✦ New York-based artist Marilyn Henrion last July founded The Soho Bookie to facilitate the publishing of exhibition catalogues and art-related books. Henrion's services include designing and formatting. To date, she has helped published single-show publications as well as a 190-page book of drawings and poems.
✦ Earlier this winter, the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, posted on its blog Framework, which documents a dance-art collaboration between artist Mark Bradford of Los Angeles and choreographer Benjamin Millepied. The collaboration, comprising two 30-minute site-specific duets, was performed in MOCA galleries last summer. Watch Framework here.
✦ James Turrell's site-specific Twilight Epiphany Skyspace opened to the public last June on the Rice University campus. The video below highlights the extraordinary experiential work of art, which was five years in the making. A press release described it thus: "Towering above a 12-foot-high grass berm just east of Rice's Shepherd School of Music, the pyramid-like work of art will provide two light shows each day — one at sunrise and one at sunset — in conjunction with the arc of the sun. Visitors seated on the skyspace's lower and upper viewing areas will gaze up at the 72-by-72-foot white roof, which offers a view of the sky through a 14-by-14-foot opening. Lights projected on the ceiling will change colors as the sun rises and sets, and these will impact the color of the sky as seen by visitors." Reservations are required for the sunset light sequences; visitor information is here.
This summer, Turrell will have his first show in a New York museum since 1980; his exhibition opens June 21 at the Guggenheim and will run through September 25.
