New Museum
Urs Fischer: Marguerite de Ponty
28 October 2009 – 7 February 2010
Zurich-born, New York-based artist Urs Fischer will be the first artist
to take over the entire New Museum on the Bowery. For his first large-scale solo
presentation in an American museum to date, Fischer will transform the New Museum's
gallery spaces by creating a mesmerizing environment featuring towering monuments,
tangled abstractions, and a labyrinth of mirrors. This exhibition will be the
culmination of four years of work. Neither a traditional survey nor a retrospective,
but rather an "introspective," as organizing curator Massimiliano Gioni
calls it, the show will combine new productions and iconic artworks, allowing
for an in-depth look at Fischer's practice. Choreographed entirely by the artist,
the exhibition will offer viewers the unique opportunity to immerse themselves
in Fischer's universe, which is both spectacular and fragile.

Helena Almeida: inside me
9 February – 31 March 2010
John Hansard Gallery presents the first UK
showing of the work of Portuguese artist Helena Almeida.
Almeida’s work includes
photography, performance and drawing. Although the artist is always in front
of the camera, she insists that her images are not self-portraits. Dressed in
black since the early 1970’s, sometimes with objects or furniture found in her
studio, she assumes positions that she has painstakingly choreographed. These
create complex visual compositions that are as much about space and line as the
relationship between the artist and the image. Sometimes she further complicates
these compositions by painting directly onto the photographs in bold primary
blue or red.
Helena Almeida: inside me presents a selection of works made
over the last 40 years.
