Studio Museum 144 West 125th Street New York, NY, USA	March 28 - June 30 Fred Wilson: Local Color Exhibitions For the first time since its exhibition in 1993, the Studio Museum will be presenting conceptual artist Fred Wilson (b. 1954)’s installation Local Color, originally created for the Studio Museum exhibition Artists Respond: The “New World” Question. Known for his installation and projects in museums and cultural institutions throughout the world, Wilson’s Local Color incorporates traditional African and Caribbean artifacts from the Studio Museum’s permanent collection and an assortment of objects the artist purchased along Harlem’s 125th Street. Interested in the intersections between art and popular culture, Wilson asks viewers to consider what museums choose to collect and which histories are preserved. Fred Wilson: Local Color is organized by Lauren Haynes, Assistant Curator. Approved on 05/09/2013
Fairfield University's Bellarmine Museum 1073 North Benson Road Fairfield, CT, USA	April 12 - June 14 Excavation: Recent Photographs by Stanley Greenberg Exhibitions The brainchild of critically acclaimed architectural photographer, Stanley Greenberg (b. 1956), Excavation unveils vestiges of New York City’s many incarnations by entering into an intimate dialogue with this commanding city. By mindfully walking every street in Manhattan and documenting his discoveries, Greenberg has created a photographic record of an urban history whose co-author – Manhattan itself – has an indisputable pedigree. The resulting works are as visually compelling as they are intellectually challenging, as historically important as they are critically relevant. Such imagery is entirely characteristic of Greenberg’s work, which explores that which is hidden in plain sight: from metro New York’s intricate water systems to urban construction projects frozen in time by his lens, the photographer consistently provides us with new tools for engaging with the built environment. Excavation continues in this rich line of visual and cultural inquiry, revealing for the viewer vestiges of a now-lost Manhattan, which in turns informs how we interact with the city as we know it today. Greenberg’s evocative photographs bear witness to his conviction that, “... the city is a huge organism, only some of it visible, and we inhabit it, change it, get changed by it.” Stanley Greenberg has authored four photography books: Invisible New York: The Hidden Infrastructure of the City (Johns Hopkins University Press, 1998); Waterworks: A Photographic Journey Through New York’s Hidden Water System (Princeton Architectural Press, 2003); Architecture Under Construction (University of Chicago Press, 2010) and Time Machines (Hirmer Verlag, 2011). His honors include a fellowship from the John Simon Guggenheim Foundation and grants from the New York Foundation for the Arts, the New York State Council on the Arts, the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, and the Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts. Greenberg has exhibited at the Art Institute of Chicago, Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Whitney Museum of American Art. He is a native of Brooklyn, New York, where he lives and works today.

ACA Galleries New York, NY, USA	May 4 - June 15 TEXTURES: The Written Word in Contemporary Art Exhibitions OPENING RECEPTION: May 4, 3 - 5pm TEXTURES: The Written Word in Contemporary Art showcases the work of artists who have incorporated written text as part of their aesthetic, their politics, and even their state of mind.  Sometimes auto-biographical, other times literary, in the courageous or adventurous minds and masterful hands of artists hand-applied text expresses that human power. In their work, written text is not only part of the formalities of composition, line, color and so on, but an organic statement of presence. Their written text, whether in paint, applied paper or sewn fabric, further insists on and gives voice to their presence.

MINUS SPACE 111 Front Street, Suite 226 Brooklyn, NY, USA	May 10 - June 15 Vincent Como: Paradise Lost Exhibitions MINUS SPACE is pleased to present the exhibition Vincent Como: Paradise Lost. This is the Brooklyn-based artist’s first solo exhibition with the gallery and it will feature a suite of small-scale black monochrome paintings illuminated by candlelight. Working in a wide array of media, including installation, painting, drawing, printmaking, and artist books, the subject of Vincent Como’s artistic practice is the color black and he draws on divergent concepts from fields, such as art history, color theory, astrophysics, science, alchemy, philosophy, religion, mythology, and the occult. Como states, “The common denominator and unifying factor in all of these fields is rooted in some form of belief and the human capacity for prehension”. For his new body of work, Como channeled John Milton’s epic poem Paradise Lost (1667), which chronicles the Biblical story of the fall of humankind, the temptation of Adam and Eve by the fallen angel Satan, and their subsequent expulsion from the Garden of Eden. The paintings in this series are produced using the classical oil painting methods and materials of the Old Masters – successive layers of warm and cool black pigment glazes varnished to a highly reflective surface resulting in a profoundly deep pictorial space. Shelves with varying numbers of lit black tapered candles are installed directly below each of the paintings. The flames are reflected in the paintings’ glossy mirror-like surfaces and leave faint traces of heat, smoke, and soot behind. Como remarks, “The works are catalysts; manifest ideas that contain multiple meanings. They are meant to challenge the viewer’s sense of history, memory, evolution, and transcendence”. He continues by saying, “This paradise, as an intellectual or utopian ideal, has failed. It has been misplaced and forgotten”. Vincent Como (b. 1975, Kittanning, PA; lives Brooklyn, NY) has exhibited his work throughout the United States and abroad, including in Mexico, England, and Vienna.

Presentations of slide and video work by key contemporary and historical figures will help students situate their creative production in relationship to contemporary discourses around race, class, gender and sexuality in art. How do we make sense of feminist art of the past and present-its contradictions, slogans and symbols? What content is lost in translation during art's shift from private practice to public locus? Students will complete reading assignments by a range of critical theorists, including Hélène Cixous, Julia Kristeva, Elizabeth Grosz, Tricia Rose, bell hooks, Fred Moten, Susan Sontag and Slavoj Zizek, as well as bring in work in any media for weekly critique.

287 SPRING Art Gallery & Performance Space New York, NY, USA	June 7 - June 29 NOT PAST: Old Toys and Lost Friends, A Solo Exhibition by Brian Fernandes-Halloran Exhibitions Opening Reception: Friday, June 7, 2013, 6-9 PM Brian Fernandes-Halloran assembles and sculpts his memories from discarded objects and wax. He searches for materials, often passively, allowing them to catch his attention. In his studio they are transformed into objects carrying the markings and wear of expired purposes.  The assemblages harness the collective memories and material qualities of these objects, diminishing the distinction between individuality and collectivity, happenstance and narrative, past and present. The assemblages give tangible, current and workable form to the memories they contain. Fernandes-Halloran continually re-arranges and forms their comprising objects to foster elements of his memories that may have been dormant, subdued or not initially present during an experience. Broader narratives and personally significant occurrences, even those not experienced first-hand, can coexist in one memory. These relationships happen intuitively and often subconsciously throughout the object gathering and production of the works. Brian will relocate his studio to the 287 Spring Gallery for the duration of NOT PAST to contribute to his assemblages with objects found in the area surrounding the gallery. He will be in the space working on weekday evenings from 6 to 8 PM and visitors will be encouraged to engage with the artist and his process.
