Mike Weiss Gallery presents Remote Control, a multimedia installation including sculpture, photography and drawing by artist Sofi Zezmer. This is the artist’s third solo exhibition at Mike Weiss Gallery. Her use of the fragments of manmade, mostly synthetic materials shift the common definition of the objects we use to inform our everyday lives and confront the viewer with his or her own relationship to consumption, mass production and overflow.

Berlin based artist Stefanie Gutheil’s first exhibition in New York, Kopftheater, is featured in the current issue of Modern Painters. The article can be read here.

Mike Weiss Gallery will be participating at the Scope New York Art Show from March 4 - 7. The gallery artists on view will be Kim Dorland, Graham Gillmore, Stefanie Gutheil, Elisa Johns, Christian Vincent, Laio Yibai, and Sofi Zezmer. The show is located at Lincoln Center Damrosch Park, 62nd Street and Amsterdam (10th Avenue). The gallery will be exhibiting in Booth D18.

Graham Gillmore will open his solo exhibition, So the Band Broke Up and It Looks Like We Will Never Play Again, at Clark & Faria in Toronto on February 18. In the show Gillmore recontextualizes a Frank Zappa lyric into a dichotomous entity. Seemingly irreverent when considering it as a name for the exhibition, the words also denote a somber examination of fragmentation, whereby the band might reference the schizophrenic self and the subsequent failure to reconcile. The exhibition will be on view through March 21.

Liao Yibai and Yigal Ozeri will be participating in a group exhibition of 30 international artists at the ARoS Aarhus Kunstmuseum in Denmark from March 26 – September 12. The exhibition, I Love You, will focus on the unique, multifaceted, and indomitable theme of love as it has developed within the visual arts since 1962.

Hermann Nitsch opened his solo exhibition Works of the 56 – Action Painting by Hermann Nitsch at the Museumszentrum Mistlebach in Austria on May 13, 2009. This show is the largest and most extensive collection of his action paintings and will be on display through March 29. The artist also performed his ritual dance of color at the museum as part of his installation Cathedral of the Farben. Videos of the performance can be viewed here.

Hermann Nitsch’s works are currently on view in An Open Window on World of Art at Galleria Civica D’Arts Moderna e Contemporanea in Turin, Italy from October 10, 2009 to January 24, 2010. The artist also will give a performance based on the sense of taste. He is also currently showing in The Past, the Present, and the Disciples of Nitsch at Box Art Galleria d’Arte, Verona, Italy from November 21, 2009 – January 31, 2010. The artist will be included in New Acquisitions at Musée d'Art Moderne de Saint-Étienne, France from September 18 – November 21 which will be followed by his solo exhibition at the museum from December 17, 2010 – April 17, 2011.
