News from Julie Saul Gallery Following is a list of our fall/winter schedule and notes on the recent activities of the artists we represent. We hope you will join us at one of the art fairs in which we will be participating this fall. The Armory Photography Show will take place October 24th through 27th at the North Pavilion of the Jacob Javits Center. This inaugural event is planned by the Armory Show organization and will include over sixty international galleries which specialize in photography and contemporary art. We will also be exhibiting at Paris Photo 2002 at the Carrousel du Louvre, November 14th through 17th. For additional information on these shows please call the gallery or consult our website at www.saulgallery.com. Paul Shambroom - Meetings September 7- October 12 Opening reception - September 13, 2002 Shambroom's second New York solo exhibition and his first at this gallery is a new body of work in which he concentrates on meetings as a central activity representing the exercise of power in small communities throughout the United States. Since 1999 Shambroom has made extensive car trips throughout the country tracking down meetings in town halls from Wadley, Georgia (pop.2468) to Dassel, MN (pop. 1134) and recording the participants as the farmers, teachers, real estate agents, etc. conduct the business of their community. The photographs emphasize the theatrical aspect of these meetings: there is a cast, a set, sometimes an audience, and a program- and a drama being enacted. The prints are large scale varnished pigmented ink-jet on a canvas support, linking them both thematically and formally to history painting. In July 2003, The Museum of Contemporary Photography in Chicago will open a solo show of the Meetings series. A group show entitled The View From Here¸ at the Ludwig Museum in Budapest opens in November. Paul has also recently been included in the following group shows: American Tableaux at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, ExtraOrdinary: American Place in Recent Photography at the Madison Art Center in Wisconsin and The Atomic Photographers Guild at the Toronto Photographers Workshop. John O'Reilly - The Real Thing: Recent Montages October 19- November 30 O'Reilly's fourth solo exhibition will include new photomontages made since 2000. A retrospective, John O'Reilly: Assemblies of Magic opens on September 27th at the Addison Gallery of American Art in Andover, MA, and will run through December 22nd. O'Reilly's first monograph is being published by Twin Palms in conjunction with the show, with essays by Klaus Kertess, curator of the Addison show, and Francine Koslow Miller. The 190 page book is priced at $60. Second gallery: Darell Ellis - Drawings and Photographs In the second gallery we will show a selection of pen and ink drawings, gouaches and photographs from the estate of Darrel Ellis who died in 1992, the year his work was featured in the New Photography show at the Museum of Modern Art. This is the first time Ellis' work has been shown since the touring exhibition organized by Art in General in 1996. Maria Martinez-Cačas - Hortus December 5- January 11, 2003 The Cuban-born, Miami based photographic artist will show new work from the Hortus series in her third solo show at this gallery. Her large scale black and white organic images are created by the use of many different photographic processes including scanning, liquid and sheet rubilith which she weaves together to create large scale transparencies which are used as the negatives, and will also be exhibited alongside the prints. Cačas had a retrospective in the summer of 2002 at the Fort Lauderdale Art Museum with an accompanying catalog ($19), and last spring she was listed by Art News as one of the "Ten Artists to Watch." Second gallery: Arne Svenson - Sock Monkeys We will exhibit a selection of Svenson's black and white portraits of sock monkeys. Engaging, compelling, and at times hilarious, this comprehensive exhibition highlights an intriguing collection of classically posed portraits of hand made sock monkeys as seen in the artist's second publication, with Ron Warren, entitled sock monkeys (200 out of 1,863). As David Pagel said in the LA Times "Like the best portraits of people, Svenson's best portraits of sock monkeys focus on sitters that seem to have complicated inner lives". Advance signed copies of sock monkeys (200 out of 1,863) which includes original stories by contributors such as Penn and Teller, Jonathan Safran Foer, Isaac Mizrahi and Simon Doonan, will be available at the gallery. Twelve images from Svenson's Faggots series are currently touring in the group show titled Pandemic: Imaging AIDS which will travel to museums in Barcelona, Moscow, New York and Washington over the next four years. Sally Gall - Subterranea January16- February 22 Gall's exhibition and new monograph, the culmination of five years of work in caves and other underground structures will begin at Julie Saul Gallery and travel to five galleries around the country. Our show launches her new hardcover, Subterranea, on February 7, 2003. The 100 page book will include an essay by Mark Strand and 36 tritone images. ($50.) Gary Schneider - Portraits February 28 - April 5 Our first solo exhibition with Schneider will include a new series of enormous color portraits. The Fogg Art Museum at Harvard University in Boston, MA, has scheduled Portrait Survey, a solo show, in 2004. An exhibit titled Genetic Self-Portraits is planned at the University Art Museum at SUNY in Albany, NY. Schneider is also included in the Pandemic: Imaging AIDS exhibit.
