BRION GYSIN : DREAM MACHINE
NEW MUSEUM
New York
"The first US survey of the work of Brion Gysin (b. 1916, Taplow, UK; d. 1986, Paris), an irrepressible innovator, serial collaborator, and subversive spirit who continues to inspire artists today. The exhibition will include over 250 drawings, books, paintings, photo-collages, films, slide projections, and sound works, as well as the Dreamachine—a kinetic light sculpture that utilizes the flicker effect to induce visions.
In 1959, Gysin created the Cut-Up Method, wherein words and phrases were randomly collaged to unlock unknown meanings, culminating in The Third Mind, a book-length collage created with his lifelong collaborator William S. Burroughs. Transferring the idea of the Cut-Up to magnetic tape, Gysin became the father of sound poetry. Throughout his life, Gysin was a collaborator and an inspiration to artists, poets, and musicians, such as John Giorno, Brian Jones, David Bowie, Patti Smith, Genesis-P-Orridge, and Keith Haring.
More than two decades after his death, his work continues to attract the interest of a new generation of artists drawn to Gysin's radical inderdisciplinarity, including Rirkrit Tiravanija, Cerith Wyn Evans, Trisha Donnelly, and Scott Treleaven. The exhibition is curated by Laura Hoptman, Kraus Family Senior Curator, and will be on view in the New Museum's second-floor gallery. It will be accompanied by an illustrated catalogue co-published with Hugh Merrell, Ltd. which will include scholarly essays and appreciations by contemporary artists, musicians, and poets."

UNION THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY
New York
The exhibition has been extended from January 5th - 14th with a closing event on January 14th from 6 to 8pm
The exhibition is the inaugural venture of a project called the Institute for Art, Religion and Social Justice, recently founded at the seminary by Mr. Bronson, who is a graduate student in divinity studies. So far the institute exists as much spiritually as materially, but it has a handful of members (Mr. Bronson is one), a base (the seminary) and a Web site. Even as a concept, it’s like nothing else in the city, and this quiet show, far from the art world downtown, bodes well for its future.

In Numbers: Serial Publications by Artists
X INITIATIVE
New York
548 West 22nd Street
This exhibition represents the first serious effort to define a neglected art form—the serial publication. Artists have long seized on magazines and postcards to create new kinds of art, often the most avantgarde of its time. The exhibition will survey these works—from Wallace Berman’s Semina through Eleanor Antin’s 100 Boots, Robert Heinecken’s modified Periodicals, the Japanese Provoke group, to Raymond Pettibon’s Tripping Corpse and Maurizio Cattelan’s Permanent Food—and will offer a glimpse of rare works by Continuous Project, and a special appearance by North Drive Press. These works have had a profound effect on a diverse range of contemporary artists—such as Terence Koh, Tom Sachs, Scott Hug, Scott Treleaven and Roni Horn—who have embraced the form and contributed to an explosion of new artists’ publications. The fully illustrated 450 page reference book, In Numbers: Serial Publications by Artists Since 1955, edited by Andrew Roth and Philip Aarons documents the histories of 60 such publications, alongside completely illustrated bibliographies by Victor Brand with essays by Clive Phillpot, Nancy Princethal, and William S. Wilson, and an interview with Collier Schorr to provide historical context. Copies of In Numbers will be available for purchase at Artbook@X during the exhibition.

UNION THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY
New York
The Institute of Art, Religion, and Social Justice is pleased to invite you to the opening of its first exhibition, Compassion on Thursday, November 19th, from 6:10 pm.
COMPASSION is an exhibition which explores the multi-valency of a term. In today's shifting political, economic, and ecological landscape, the need for compassion has never been greater — compassion understood as mutual interdependence, knowledge of self and others, and concern for human flourishing. We are interwoven across lines of difference. Compassion requires us to explore our interdependence, to open ourselves to truths beyond our everyday experience, and to embody that complexity of being. Artists often awaken compassion most profoundly and form our imaginations such that we can envision our interconnectedness. Curated by AA Bronson

AnOTHER MAN MAGAZINE
Spring/Summer 2010 issue: out March 18th
"Scott Treleaven is something of a new wave Renaissance man, working in film, collage, drawing and photography. But this marks the Paris-based artist’s grandest entrance into the fashion arena. Stylist Alistair Mackie approached him about collaborating on a 14 page story for the spring issue of AnOther Man. The quasi-surreal pictures are inspired by 19th-century Paris’s "Club des Hashashins"-a bohemian literary group that boasted decadent gents such as Charles Baudelaire and Alexandre Dumas as members."
