ANOTHER SPACE

Final week to visit Le Mouvement 1955!! On view through Monday, March 3. Please email [email protected] to schedule an appointment.

ANOTHER SPACE is pleased to present “Le Mouvement 1955,” a critical re-examination of the eponymous exhibition held at Galerie Denise René in Paris in 1955. A pivotal moment in the history of Kinetic Art, Le Mouvement showcased eight international artists whose works explored the relationship between art and motion. The exhibition included renowned figures Alexander Calder, Marcel Duchamp, Jesús Rafael Soto, and Victor Vasarely, alongside emerging talents Yaacov Agam, Pol Bury, Robert Jacobsen, and Jean Tinguely. Nearly seven decades later, ANOTHER SPACE presents an expanded iteration featuring works by the eight participants in the original Paris exhibition alongside other artists exploring similar ideas at the time, Carmen Herrera and Vera Molnár, female artists who were absent from the seminal all-male exhibition. The show further examines the origins and legacy of the Kinetic art movement across Europe and Latin America and emphasizes the pivotal role of the Madí, a group founded in Argentina in 1946. Artist Carmelo Arden Quin explored concepts of movement, viewer participation, the use of technological innovations and new industrial materials. The Madí group, which stood for Materialismo Dialéctico (Dialectic Materialism), significantly influenced many Paris-based artists through their shared participation in various editions of the Salon des Réalités Nouvelles in Paris in the late 1940s and early 1950s. Works by: Yaacov Agam, Carmelo Arden Quin, Martha Boto, Robert Breer, Pol Bury, Alexander Calder, Omar Carreño, Narciso Debourg, Marcel Duchamp, María Freire, Carmen Herrera, Robert Jacobsen, Nikolai Kasak, Gyula Kosice, Julio Le Parc, Antonio Llorens, Vera Molnár, Lygia Pape, Raúl Pavlotzky, Jesús Rafael Soto, Grete Stern, Jean Tinguely, Victor Vasarely By appointment only. 10:00 AM- 5:00 PM Monday through Friday Email: [email protected]

Minerva Cuevas’ socially engaged artworks respond to the politics of her environment, shedding light on the weight of corporate responsibility, the perils of mass consumption, the ecological crisis, amongst other pressing topics. In the Chapopote (tar) series, the artist employs petroleum as a primary medium to critique the mismanagement of natural resources within the oil industry and its effects on our planet.  #MinervaCuevas, 'Paysage Marin,' 2020.

Currently on view at ANOTHER SPACE, ‘In Ictu Oculi,’ 2009, by #GretaAlfaro is a perfect artwork for those considering spending the holiday outdoors. ‘In Ictu Oculi’ (meaning "in the blink of an eye") alludes to the brevity of human existence and shows Alfaro’s attraction to Baroque and biblical themes. Not unlike Juan de Valdés Leal’s vanitas painting, the video depicts a group of vultures descending to wolf down a lavish banquet. Traditionally regarded as symbols of sickness and death, vultures are however beautiful creatures that play an important role in the health of the ecosystems they inhabit as they are essential in cleaning up dead matter and curbing the spread of bacteria.

#LygiaClark was born on this day in 1920. Trained with the landscape architect Roberto Burle Marx in Rio de Janeiro and then in Paris at Fernand Léger’s Academy, Clark became a leading figure at the forefront of the Neo-Concrete movement. Through her pioneering work, Clark encouraged the spectators’ active participation, provoking a dynamic relationship between viewer and artwork.

Today we honor Indigenous Peoples' Day. Born during the decades-long Guatemalan civil war, Sandra Monterroso's art revives her country's history and indigenous culture. In "Volviendo al Punto de Partida (Going back to the starting point)," 2012, the artist employs traditional Mayan practices such as plant dyeing and weaving techniques to challenge colonialism and shed light on the exploitation of indigenous women. The work pictured will be on view at ANOTHER SPACE's upcoming exhibition, 'Stayin Alive.' Scheduled to open on October 22, the exhibition addresses the current environmental crisis and artists' potential strategies to cope with social and environmental disasters. A selection of works, including Monterroso's, will specifically examine the colonial ideology that paved the way to the exploitation of Latin America's natural resources and the ongoing destruction of local ecosystems in the region. #IndigenousPeoplesDay #SandraMonterroso #ANOTHERSPACE #StayinAlive

“I sometimes think that my work is all about gaps. You have a linear routine in your life that carries on, and then suddenly something happens and it breaks the line. I think my work is very much connected with what happens when the line is fractured.” Lucia Nogueira, 'Untitled,' 1994. On view at @luhringaugustine , Tribeca, New York. #LuciaNogueira
