Have you see the Koons? No? Well the Whitney has come up with something for anyone feeling left out of this retrospective extravaganza that will close next Sunday: A 36-hour marathon, during which the museum will be open from 11am Saturday, October 18 through Sunday, October 19.

There will be special events, including a book signing with the artist on Saturday night and a Q&A with curator Scott Rothkopf on Sunday at noon. This will be the last chance to experience the Whitney in the Breuer building before it closes. The new building in the Meatpacking District will open next spring.

Jeff Koons: A Retrospective, through Sunday, October 19 at the Whitney Museum of American ArtInformation. 975 Madison Avenue at 75th Street, NY, NY. Mark your calendars and study up, herehere, and here.

 

DART Subscribers in the news: Otober 11, 6-9 pm

Join Cathie Bleck and fellow artist Amy Casey for an artist’s reception and party to celebrate their dual exhibition, Rarely Home. This is also a celebration of the first anniversary of the host gallery, Maria Neil Art Project in the Waterloo arts district of Cleveland, Ohio.

 

Cathie sent several articles detailing the transformation of this 10-block stretch of Cleveland’s warehouse district through the collaborative efforts of arts organizers and like-minded developers keen to the symbiosis that can take place with the right mix of intention and hard work, here and here.

The exhibition features Cathie’s signature Kaolin clayboar linework, with imagery inspired by her love of nature [Information]. Rarely Home includes fourteen black and white pieces, three dimensional color pieces, as well as journals from the past few years cascading over a dimensional waterfall of kaolin and blue pigments painted doors, a light box and as an antique Samsonite suitcase which holds a small illuminated dimensional diorama which can be viewed through a peep hole. 

Amy Casey, whose work was recently seen in New York at Foley Gallery, is showing a group of paintings that might have sprung from an imaginative reading of Calvino’s Invisible Cities.


The event this weekend promises to be a real party, as the organizers have teamed up with Edible Cleveland, Portside Brewery and Sterle’s food truck for an evening of art, craft beer sampling, live music, food and fun.

Rarely Home, works by Cleveland-based artists Cathie Bleck and Amy Casey, continues through October 19 at Maria Neil Art Project, 15813 Waterloo Road, Cleveland, OH. The neighboring Gallery One Sixty, at 16008 Waterloo Road, has collaborated on hosting this open house event. Admission is free but proceeds from art and beer sales will benefit ARTneo (formerly the Cleveland Artists Foundation. Rarely Home was recently featured in Juxtapose.

CORRECTION: Regarding Wednesday's post, subscriber Joseph Sywenkyj wrote, 

Thank you for informing your readers about this story and some of the issues facing Ukraine.  I am writing to point out an error in the photo caption “Zahoplennya, a Russian word that means "forcible seizure.” It should read: “Zakhoplennya, a Ukrainian word that means "forcible seizure.” The Russian word for seizure is “zakhvat."
