Alexandre da Cunha: Mix II 

Rochaverá Corporate Towers

Mix II is Alexandre da Cunha’s first large scale public commission in Sao Paulo. Made using the drum of a concrete mixer truck and cast concrete - objects traditionally used in the production of public buildings - they now become objects to be looked at for their own form. These materials are especially significant in Brazil and to Da Cunha where concrete has played such a significant role both in art and architecture. 

Da Cunha has described his practice not as ‘making’ but as ‘pointing’. Pointing at existing objects in our everyday surroundings, and highlighting or revealing new and unexpected facets or meanings within them. 

Lynda Benglis: On Screen

PRAXES, Bergen Assembly

Opening: 17 June, 8pm

Exhibiton dates: 17 June - 4 September, 2016

On Screen is an exhibition that presents three of Lynda Benglis' video pieces, made in the early 1970s. This is a rare opportunity to view works made during her four year intense experimentation period with moving image, after which she never returned to the medium. These films highlight Benglis' ongoing exploration of sexuality and identity play.

PRAXES features a year-long investigation of Lynda Benglis at the Bergen Assembly, with independent work constellations hosted by changing venues in Bergen from February to December, 2016.

Public days: June 16-19

Further information

For our booth at Art Basel 2016 Thomas Dane gallery will present an exhibition of works exclusively in one medium: paper. Paper has played a central role in artistic investigations throughout history. Due to its versatility paper has become key to many artists’ practices and often provides the space for the most pivotal investigations and has become steeped in the richest historical associations. For this exhibition we have approached many of our artists that often work on paper to produce new, large-scale works specifically for the fair. We will include major pieces from Hurvin Anderson, Cecily Brown, Ella Kruglyanskaya, Michael Landy, Glenn Ligon and Amy Sillman.

We will celebrate our artists for whom working on paper in innovative ways has long been a central trope in their practice and bring together major new works by Arturo Herrera and Abraham Cruzvillegas as well as works literally made 'of' paper by artists less well known for working in this medium: Lynda Benglis, Walead Beshty and Kelley Walker.

We will also include a limited and carefully edited number of works that have informed or influenced our artists who have informed or influenced our gallery artists or whom have partaken in our programme: Bruce Conner, Barbara Rossi and Albert Oehlen.

Public days: May 5-8

Further information

Our inaugural show at Frieze New York will be the latest collaboration between Thomas Dane Gallery (London) and Corbett Vs. Dempsey (Chicago) who have partnered on booths at Frieze Masters in London for the past four years as well as joint curatorial projects at both galleries.

 For Frieze New York in 2016 the focus is on eccentric figuration. Both galleries share a key interest in the status of the figure in contemporary art, its definition and limits and equally in its historical manifestation in the 20th century, its shadowy existence at the margins during the era dominated by abstraction (with particular attention to the Chicago Imagist tradition), as well as in its current popular revival.

This presentation will spotlight both organisations' programs, with new, and historical works. The booth will include paintings, drawings, collages, and sculptural works by Hurvin Anderson, Margot Bergman, Cecily Brown, Brian Calvin, Dominick Di Meo, Arturo Herrera, Ella Kruglyanskaya, Robert Lostutter, Albert Oehlen, Joyce Pensato, Lari Pittman, Christina Ramberg, Barbara Rossi, Lui Shtini, Amy Sillman, Diane Simpson, Caragh Thuring and Karl Wirsum.
