Portraiture in Contemporary Indian Photography ARTIUM, Basque Centre-Museum of Contemporary Art, Vitoria-Gasteiz, ES Spain Wayne Quilliam : Lowanna Rushcutters Bay Gallery, Rushcutters Bay, NS USA United States of America Wayne Quilliam in partnership with the Rushcutters Bay Gallery launched his most daring new series of work on Tuesday the 13th of October 2009 at 147 Bayswater Rd, Rushcutters Bay, Sydney. Indigenous artist Wayne Quilliam is this years winner of the NAIDOC �Artist of the Year� Award. He also launched three exhibitions, �Gatherings� at the National Museum, Paringa Gallery in Melbourne and at Garma in the Northern Territory in 2009. Wayne Quilliam promotes his work with a Premiere Portfolio at absolutearts.com. - Read Indepth Article at http://www.absolutearts.com   Erin Shirreff : Landscapes, Heads, Drapery and Devils Lisa Cooley Gallery, New York, NY USA United States of America Lisa Cooley is pleased to present new work by Erin Shirreff in her first solo exhibition with the gallery, Landscapes, Heads, Drapery, and Devils. The exhibition opens on Sunday, October 25th and runs until December 20th, 2009. The exhibition title derives from a list of things that are commonly �seen� when we are confronted with perceptual ambiguity. In the moments before our mind can reconcile an unfamiliar shape or mass, it overlays fragments of a known quantity in an effort to recognize and order our experience. This process of projection and the fragments of our selves that we embed into our understanding of the world - the making of recognition - has been the basis of Shirreff's photography, video, and sculpture for the past several years. The nonspecific descriptors in the show�s title sets the stage for a body of work that is temporally placeless, in�Landscapes, Heads, Drapery, and Devils�Shirreff conjures forms that evoke ancient geologic history and otherworldly, ephemeral phenomena.� - Read Indepth Article at http://www.absolutearts.com   Dennis Jones : Text Based Paintings OK Harris Gallery, New York, NY USA United States of America Dennis Jones will have a debut solo exhibition of several text-based paintings at, The OK Harris Gallery, in New York, this fall. The exhibition will consist of twelve paintings from 2007 and 2009, in a 2000 square foot space, and run from October 24th through November 28th. Dennis Jones is a painter, architect and educator from Plymouth, Michigan, and one can see how much his architectural training, through his use of color, scale, material and construction, has influenced his oil and enamel paintings, as they can be read from across a large room with a bold clarity. Dennis Jones became a Premiere Portfolio Member at absolutearts.com in 2004. - Read Indepth Article at http://www.absolutearts.com   The Self and the Other . Portraiture in Contemporary Indian Photography ARTIUM, Basque Centre-Museum of Contemporary Art, Vitoria-Gasteiz, ES Spain The Self and the Other is an exploration of the photographic gaze that engages with personal and cultural identity. While personal identity can be viewed through different constructs of the Self, one cannot overlook the representation of the Other to understand the cultural identity of a people. Being the most enduring subject of a photographer�s gaze, the Other has played a significant role in the crystallisation of human memory and opinion. The subtitle of the exhibition, Portraiture in Contemporary Indian Photography refers to the prism through which we will view the shifts, dichotomies and disturbances across the complex social fabric of life in India. - Read Indepth Article at http://www.absolutearts.com   Call for Artists : Proposals for 2010-2011 Exhibitions Florida Atlantic University, John D.

If the thought hadn't crossed your mind, plan a trip to Bordeaux anyway, come and taste the local specialities and save a day for a peek at the INSIDERS exhibition showing at the Entrepot Laine until the 7th of February 2010. You won't be disappointed. The latest co-venture between CAPC museum of contemporary art and arc en reve centre d'architecture is worth the trip. Centred on the uses, practices and know-how that have developed over the past decades, the imposing colonial warehouse is home to a colourful and well-thought-up selection of art and architectural works that bring the true concept of DIY to life. The exhibition presents a new type of creation, that who has come to life following massive globalisation of our societies. It's a creation that goes beyond this globalisation, looking for new ways of expressing itself, bringing together such things as daily life practices and artistic approaches, handcraft and state-of-the-art technology, human beliefs and rituals and industrial production. It all comes down to the fact that everyone is or can be an artist, that the everyday production that Mankind has found to respond to pragmatic or more utopian ideas can be and is art. This new network of resources and creativity makes up the INSIDERS, those who think up a new way of creating art, architecture - a new way of life.
