The Studio Franchise exhibition created by Ryan McGinness for La Casa Encendida will be open to the public beginning February 5. Ryan’s studio which can be found in Espacio C, will not be an exact recreation of the artist's studio but a new one created and inspired by certain guidelines of his original studio in New York. It will be in full operation during opening hours of the center and will be honored by the presence of the artist. A casting call was conducted in order find and hire Ryan McGinness clones or duplicates to serve as assistants in the studio for the duration of the exhibition.
Espacio B will have paintings and sculptures in the making, empty frames, extensive sketches for compositions and paintings on the walls, boxes, plans for the exhibit taped on the wall, stairs, setting-up materials and tools, etc. During the course of the exhibit, the finished works created in the studio will be moved to Espacio B for viewing. McGinness will count on the help of participants in creating these works in the studio. Wanted Ryan McGinness.
Studio Franchise is moreover, an exhibit completed by selected works from different collections to show Ryan McGinness’ latest works in Espacio A. |

To celebrate the New York City Opera's 2009-10 season and the company's return to the newly renovated David H. Koch Theater at Lincoln Center, City Opera and Deitch Projects will present a site-specific installation by artist E.V. Day in the theater's Promenade. A series of dynamic sculptures made from a selection of vintage City Opera costumes and costume accessories will be dramatically suspended overhead in exuberant simulated motion.
On view beginning November 5 (the night of American Voices, the company's opening gala), the installation will remain in place
throughout City Opera's fall and spring seasons. On Friday, November 6, from 5 to 9pm, the installation will be open to the public, free of charge. After November 6, the artwork may be viewed by ticket holders to all City Opera performances.
Working in a medium she describes as "exploding couture," Day will lend soaring animation to garments including Cio-Cio-San's
kimono, Don Giovanni's cape, Carmen's mantilla and Manon's elegant 18th-century dress (in a twin of the costume worn by Beverly
Sills). Day has chosen the garments from City Opera's rich archive of retired costumes, and has transformed them into dramatic stopmotion
expressions of the explosive energy and extravagance of opera. Each sculpture will be suspended by fishing tackle within its own 10-foot-high "stage" comprising a pair of horizontal steel rings, each six feet in diameter. The rings will then be hung like stars at three different heights above the Philip Johnson-designed Promenade, making them easily visible to operagoers on all tiers. A map of
the installation will help viewers to identify the character and production represented by each sculpture. |
