curated by Christie Mazuera – Davies

20 April – 16 June 2013

Opening Reception Saturday 20 April 2013 from 5 pm to 7 pm

Again features artworks where repetition, obsession or meditation, are key elements to the artist’s process, sometimes obvious in the resulting artwork, sometimes not. The artists in this exhibition repeat themes, motions, motifs and materials again and again, over and over.

Renate Aller: oceanscapes – one view– ten years, limited edition box, published by Radius Books of Santa Fe

Santa Fe, New Mexico, might seem an unlikely spot for a boutique publishing house—and a nonprofit, no less. But not to Radius Books Publisher and Creative Director David Chickey, who “ended up in Santa Fe the same way a lot of people do, by happenstance. I came for a friend’s wedding and stayed.” That was 21 years ago. Chickey, who also serves as co-owner of Skolkin+Chickey design studio, founded Radius in 2007 with a group of similarly creative Santa Feans. Their mission: To encourage, promote, and publish books “of artistic and cultural value for a wide audience. Our projects are distinguished in both form and substance: beautiful objects by important artists of all ranks.” When Chickey says beautiful objects, he’s not kidding. The Radius catalog is studded with gems such as the limited-edition monograph of Los Angeles painter-sculptor Charles Arnoldi—presented in plywood as a nod to his iconic Chainsaw works in chiseled plywood. Or the archival print mounted to diasec to “reflect and refract” the watery image that accompanies Renate Aller: Oceanscapes—One View— Ten Years, by the German-born artist who has photographed the Atlantic Ocean from the same vantage point for a decade. But creating limited editions and trade books “respectful of artists” is only half the story. “It’s critically important for us as a nonprofit to get books out to an audience that otherwise wouldn’t see them,” says Chickey. To that end, Radius donates 300–500 titles of each book published to rural libraries, schools, and art programs, some 350 institutions in all. The Radius space on East Palace Avenue also serves as an exhibition gallery and home for artist talks, seminars, and workshops. “We try to expand the idea of what’s possible in a book form and what you can do with books,” says Chickey. We say, mission accomplished.

New Britain Museum of American Art – Recent Acqisitions in Photography Exhibition

renate — Thu, 18 Oct 2012 15:51:44 +0000

Oceanscape by Renate Aller, (archival pigment print)

In Focus: Recent Acquisitions in Photography
Nov. 9–Dec. 30, 2012
Opening Reception
Thursday, Nov. 8, 2012, 5:30-7 p.m.

In Focus: Recent Acquisitions in Photography, on view in the McKernan Gallery from November 9 through December 30, 2012, will unveil the Museum’s emergent photography collection to the public for the first time. Although it was not until 1999 that the Museum began to incorporate photography into its holdings, the collection has grown steadily over the past 13 years. Organized in a chronological and thematic fashion, the exhibition consists of approximately 120 works that chart the development of photography over one and a half centuries to illuminate the importance of this medium in shaping this country’s visual culture.

In 2005, the NBMAA received the extraordinary Helen Vibberts Photography Collection from her brother Charles Goss. This collection includes daguerreotypes, tin types, cartes de visite, and other early 19th-century photographs. Spanning almost a century, many of these images were taken by members of prominent New Britain families. More recent acquisitions have focused on contemporary works, including Renate Aller’s minimalist, atmospheric ocean views and Stephanie Lempert’s photographic soundscapes.

The themes represented in the exhibition are: 19th-Century Portraiture and Local Photography; Landscape: Natural and Manmade; Photojournalism; Face and Figure; and Abstraction, Conceptualism, and Beyond. Well-known highlights include ones by New Britain’s own Sol LeWitt, and Dorothea Lange, Lewis Hine, William Wegman, Christine Breslin, Alfred Cheney Johnston and Nelson Augustus Moore. The exhibit will allow viewers to not only delve into the scope of the Museum’s permanent holdings in photography, but also to confront the variety of unexpected directions in which the genre of photography has moved since its inception.

dicotyledon by Renate Aller at CHIAROSCURO GALLERY, Santa Fe, NM
July 2012

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Renate Aller: dicotyledon
Opening Reception: Friday, June 15, 5-7pm

Santa Fe – Chiaroscuro Contemporary Art is pleased to present its second large-scale solo exhibition of work by photographer Renate Aller. Her new series, dicotyledon, explores our relationship with nature and how we “read” photographs. Inspired by Romanticism, memory, and landscape, these large-scale color photographs provoke a non-linear narrative. As you move through the exhibition, the juxtaposition of photographs is paramount. Just as words and phrases work together in a sentence to ascribe meaning, the images play off each other, inviting the viewer to engage in a “conversation” with the works. Vibrant green trees, endless blue skies, human figures and anthropomorphized animals animate these sharply-focused landscapes. In his essay on the series entitled Transience, David Anfam writes, “Water and sky, faces, flora and fauna here stand before us like nouns, the taxonomy for some natural history whose ultimate purpose is obscure.”

Aller explains, “The way we look at nature from a distance is similar to the way painters of the Romantic period presented their work to the viewer. Our human desire is to tame and dominate nature. Our ambivalent relationship with nature is reflected in the way we are looking at it, using the landscape image as a mirror of ourselves, filled with illusions, desire, and nostalgia, or as a fulfillment of our idealized self. Our relationship to nature is one of intervention and domination. We expect nature to present itself as a stage set for our entertainment.”

This new series, dicotyledon, runs parallel to and builds upon Aller’s popular Oceanscapes – One View-Ten Years, which features photographs of the Atlantic created from the same vantage point over many years. To celebrate the June exhibition, Radius Books will release an accordion-style limited edition dicotyledon monograph which includes large-scale reproductions of the series and an insightful essay by esteemed art historian David Anfam. The monograph will be on view at Chiaroscuro for the duration of the exhibition.

Renate Aller
The dicotyledon, which provides the title of Renate Aller’s photo exhibition at Adamson Gallery, is a kind of flowering plant whose blooms come in pairs. “Dicotyledon” is not a selection of flower pictures, but it does include several pairs: diptychs that contrast urban and rural, or human and environment. Aller is known for austere seascapes, and there are a few of those in this show. But the German-born New Yorker has started to add animals and humans (all children) to her crisply detailed, meticulously framed compositions, and sometimes arranged the images to converse with each other. In addition to the diptychs, there’s a six-panel study of sky and clouds in which two squares are pure blue — both empty and saturated. Aller captures shimmering, gem-like moments, and offering multiple views only increases the sense that she has perfect timing.

Renate Aller: Dicotyledon
On view through May 31 at Adamson Gallery, 1515 14th St. NW; 202-232-0707; http://adamsongallery.com/artists/.
