BASEL.- The Basel painter, draftsman, printmaker
and sculptor Albert Müller (1897–1926) is considered one of the main exponents
of Swiss Expressionism. Müller received his initial artistic training
in his native city, at a glass-painting studio and at the Allgemeine
Gewerbeschule, the local vocational arts school. Galvanised by the
example of Cuno Amiet, he was soon using luminous colours that diverged strongly
from the dark tones typical of the established painters of the area. His work
first began attracting the notice of a wider audience in 1919.

Toronto,
ON -
NEOPRIEST,
an
exhibition at Headbones Gallery in March, 2009, was based on an identified aesthetic
that was expressed with an acronym to more succinctly impart the essence of
thirteen artist’s work. From this original exhibition an over-riding
identifiable subject has revealed itself. And in order to pin it down through
language and to carry on the intellectual rigour, NeoBeast has been coined - Beastly
Explorations Aesthetically Stating Truisms. This exhibition on view 19
February through 14 March, 2010.

BREGENZ, AUSTRIA - Though Candice Breitz (b. 1972
Johannesburg, South Africa) has focused largely on creating multi-channel video
installations since 1999, her approach to the moving image
grows out of an earlier body of photographic work, in which she made extensive
use of photomontage and cut-and-paste strategies. In composing her
multi-channel video installations, Breitz deploys both freshly shot footage and
material drawn from familiar films, modifying her source material digitally in
the working. Amongst other themes, Breitz’s video oeuvre reflects critically on
the narrative structure of Hollywood cinema, the counter-projections of fans and
their idols, and the challenges posed to the individual and individuality within
contemporary media culture.

TORONTO.- Acclaimed international artist Anselm
Kiefer’s monumental installation Palmsonntag (Palm Sunday) is coming to the Art
Gallery of Ontario this March. Kiefer, known for his epic
themes and operatic flair, will be adapting and adding to the installation for
its Canadian premiere at the AGO, opening March 4 and continuing through August
1. Palmsonntag is composed of a 60-foot-long palm tree, cast in
fiberglass and resin, that lies on its side across the Gallery floor, surrounded
by a cycle of 44 massive panels hanging in rows on the walls above. The panels,
eight of which Kiefer is creating specifically for the AGO exhibition, combine
paint, plaster, mud, wood, human hair, dried plant materials and rusted chastity
belts, among other materials — forming a massive collage of images at once
unnerving and expansive.
