Charlemagne Palestine

The Jewish Museum

“We have bears, we have dogs, cats, and I like these spirits working with me. Also, I found problems with visual arts and sound arts: it's cold, self-analytical, without soul. It's for that reason that many people interested in minimal music tell me that I'm a crazy guy going around with my stuffed animals… but these animals have a real presence! When you are a child, the reason you are given these animals is because it's the child's first contact with some kind of a spirit that will be part of the real world and it's a question of trust and contact.” — Charlemagne Palestine

Marsden Hartley

The Met Breuer

“Hartley had a wonderfully rich, but complicated, and sometimes contradictory relationship with Maine, and I think that’s an experience that so many people can identify with, especially if you are from one place and you leave it, and then you try to come back. One of the key threads in this show is what happens upon return.” — Randall Griffey

Bernar Venet

Paul Kasmin Gallery

“The aesthetics I am most interested in is the one that remains to be discovered, the one whose meaning needs still to be formulated: all these objects or phenomena that I am not yet sensitive to, that surround me without my even taking notice; objects or events that remain foreign to me, to which I am deaf or blind, like those people who pass by an Ad Reinhardt without feeling its charge. The aesthetic sense allows me to move to another level of perception.” — Bernar Venet

Mimmo Rotella

Gladstone 64

“Like Andy Warhol, he was fascinated by Marilyn Monroe and Elvis. Unlike his American counterpart, however, he relished the physical processes of making art, creating so-called décollages by tearing layers of film posters stuck on canvas to recreate the appearance of peeling billboards. Nothing could evoke more potently the ephemeral glamour of the modern city.” — Mimmo Rotella

Dan Herschlein

JTT

“I’m trying to talk about emotions that I don’t know how to talk about, so they’re not specific locations. I couldn’t map out a chart like acupuncture. They’re much more intuitive than that for me. A lot of times the relationship to that is their relation- ship to an architectural piece or something—architecture and hauntings are very much a part of [it]. I guess I’m thinking about how emotions haunt bodies, and then bodily emotions haunt houses and rooms and furniture.” — Dan Herschlein

The Ends of Collage

Luxembourg & Dayan

“In a time where the terms ‘cut’ and ‘paste’ refer more often to allegorical and digital operations than to the use of scissors and glue, it seems imperative to go back and examine the technical invention that lies on the historical seam between pictures and images, between manual craft and the meditated reality of the digital age.” — Yuval Etgar, curator

Sterling Ruby

Gagosian Gallery

The mastery of the Germany-born and L.A.-based artist comes from his ability to build mental bridges between various genres, mediums, and disciplines, while maintaining a divergent practice that omits classification.

Sandra Muss

VOLTA NY

“The doors have the power to connect us to mystical, magical, and mythical possibilities, but it takes a lot of courage to be able to walk through them. One risks that there could be nothing on the other side of the door; it takes a leap of faith to make that kind of transition.” — Sandra Muss

Julian Schnabel

Pace Gallery

“The plates seemed to have a sound, the sound of every violent human tragedy, an anthropomorphic sense of things being smeared and thrown…I wanted to make something that was exploding as much as I wanted to make something that was cohesive.” — Julian Schnabel
