van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam, NL From 10 April to 20 September 2009 the exhibition Odilon Redon and Emile Bernard: Masterpieces from the Andries Bonger collection will be on show in the Van Gogh Museum. Over the period 1892 to 1908 the Amsterdam insurance banker Andries Bonger (1861-1936) assembled a collection of some 250 works of art, many of which were by his friends Odilon Redon (1840-1916) and Emile Bernard (1868-1941). A large part of his painstakingly assembled collection of modern French art was acquired in 1996 by the Dutch State and housed in the Van Gogh Museum. Eighty works, including paintings, drawings, pastels, prints and pieces of embroidery by Redon and Bernard, offer an insight into the progressive taste of Andries Bonger. The exhibition, the design of which evokes the atmosphere of the Bonger�s reception rooms, is augmented by letters, photographs, documents and several key works on loan, including paintings by Paul C�zanne and Vincent van Gogh. These works originally also formed part of Andries Bonger's collection. The exhibition also devotes attention to the extensive technical research conducted into the collection. A book of the same name on the complete collection of Andries Bonger will be published to coincide with the exhibition. - Read Indepth Article at http://www.absolutearts.com

Guggenheim Museum, New York, NY USA This spring, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum will launch Intervals, a new contemporary art series designed to reflect the spirit of today�s most innovative practices. Fast-paced and modest in scale, this experimental series, initiated by Chief Curator Nancy Spector, will allow the museum to respond quickly to innovations and new developments in contemporary art as they arise. Conceived to take place in the interstices of the museum�s exhibition spaces or beyond the physical confines of the building, the program will invite a diverse range of artists to create new work for a succession of solo presentations. - Read Indepth Article at http://www.absolutearts.com

Performance Art of the Renaissance
Jeffrey Andreoni
Many scholars mark Allan Kaprow's happenings as the beginning of performance art. Others have named Ghandi as the first actual performance artist. Others still have identified the beginning of performance art in the Dada and Futurist movements. Unfortunately these scholars are all dead wrong. The first performance art piece actually took place during the Renaissance and was commissioned by none other than Pope Clement VIII. The first performance art piece was a true masterpiece that still burns in our memories today. It was a real sacrifice on the part of the performer and the work deserves to be added to RoseLee Goldberg's next anthology of performance art. On February 17th, 1600, a crudely erected stage appeared in the middle of a main city square in Rome. A crowd gathered to view a performance they had seen advertised all around the city. General admission was charged for viewing, and the performance began to take shape.
