From Her: Artists and Their Mother
Le Bal, Paris
12 October 2023–25 February 2024
Le Bal in Paris presents an exhibition dedicated to the views of 25 artists of their mother, extending from the 1960s to the present day. Going beyond the pure testimony of an inevitably singular intimate relationship, these works are constructed from formal and conceptual devices involving the body, the figure or the character of the mother in the creative process. Whether they seek to embody the reality of presence or the effects of absence, all have in common that they consider filiation as a way of rethinking archetypal relationships, between social criticism, personal journeys, conjuration or appeasement. The exhibition is curated by Julie Herault and Diane Dufour.

Artist Talk: 26 October 2023, 8pm
For a few days in the fall, on the rugged west coast of Norway, world-renowned photo legends, aspiring photographers, students and photography lovers gather in the small and charming Norwegian coastal town of Kristiansund. The Nordic Light festival program presents lectures, exhibitions, gallery talks, book signings, portfolio reviews and films, attracting photographers from all over the world.

As part of the festival the solo exhibition Karen Knorr: Transmigrations features a selection of Knorr’s recent and past work including India Song, Metamorphoses, and Fables. Transmigrations refers to both displacement and reincarnation as well as to the migration of souls to an afterlife. In this age of climate change and of great migrations to come, where will our wildlife reside? Will the situation lead to a redefinition of living space in favour of the natural world and the displaced tribes? Karen Knorr will present an artist talk as part of the opening night celebrations at the Caroline Conference Center.

Photographs by London-based American artist and activist Karen Knorr (b. 1954, Frankfurt), whose brightly colored images feature exotic animals fused into grand architectural settings. Tint, Tone, Shade includes the debut of two new works from India Song (2008–2023) and Fables (2003–2022) that are being exhibited for the first time.

Striking paper constructions by Detroit-based artist Neha Vedpathak (b. 1982, Pune, India), who employs vibrant rainbow hues to convey the fleeting, often imperceptible moment when we transition from one state of mind to another. 

Color Immersion: Chromatic Expressions From the 1960s to the Present
Sundaram Tagore Gallery, Chelsea, NY, USA
20 July–25 August 2023

Sundaram Tagore Gallery are pleased to present color-saturated paintings and photographs by gallery artists that span a range of eras, aesthetics and techniques.

The show features striking abstract canvases by Robert Natkin (b. 1930, Chicago; d. 2010, Danbury, Connecticut), on view in the gallery for the first time. Associated with the Color Field and Lyrical Abstraction painters, Natkin was celebrated as an unsurpassed colorist and for the beauty of his large-scale abstract works. On his canvases, paint creates a seemingly infinite space in which iconographic details appear to hover or float through illusory depths. 
 
Alongside are paintings by longtime gallery artists

On Living – With Taste
dépendance, Brussels, Belgium
Until 15 July 2023

David Hicks was an interior design star of the 60s who decorated rooms for the young Prince Charles and Princess Anne, a yacht for King Fahd of Saudi Arabia, and a nightclub on the QE2 ocean liner among others. In his eponymous practical design book On Living – With Taste (1968), he wanted to show readers how to use bold colour combinations, patterned carpets, light rooms, and mix bold antiques and modern furniture. Alongside photos of the redesigned rooms of the jet-set chic, the opinionated Hicks describes his interventions. He set some loose rules around eye-popping colour schemes and decorative tips, which, when applied, apparently cannot fail.

Hicks was not definite about good or bad taste but attempted to show one way of living with one sort of taste. He explained: “I am convinced that taste, whether it is good or bad, personal or impersonal, is formed by looking at things from the point of view of ownership – would you want this? Would we like that? We condition and change our taste by looking at examples of other people’s way of living in magazines, newspapers, exhibitions, and museums.”
