Bernard Williams at Exit Art
GLOBAL / NATIONAL - The Order of Chaos is an exhibition that “addresses the anxieties of economics, environmental tragedies, and societies of control that define the chaos of globalization. It explores these social issues in an aesthetic way to demystify the notion of art only as an ornamental production. This vision includes images from abstraction to figuration, from direct messages to esoteric thoughts,” explains Co-Founder/Artistic Director Papo Colo. The exhibition investigates how local artists from a variety of backgrounds are placed in relation to the rest of the world. Seen through a global lens, this exhibition explores the multiple cultures that populate our general culture and how the local and national are inextricably linked to the global.
This exhibition examines the tensions of uncontrollable forces that are dislocating our society to redefine a new civilization. The artworks reflect how the national contains global concerns, searching inside our culture to project our global position. This exhibition tells the story of those concerns and new ways in which we can order the chaos.
Conceived by Papo Colo. Curated by Jeanette Ingberman and Papo Colo.
Artists: John Ahearn, Tina Barney, Jimmie Durham, Nicky Enright, Rico Gatson, Kate Gilmore, Guerra de la Paz, Charles Juhasz-Alvarado, Saeri Kiritani, Tseng Kwong Chi, Robin Lasser, Rebecca Loyche, Miguel Luciano, Jonathan Matas, Mary Mattingly, Eve Mosher, Chris Sollars, Jade Townsend, Jason Villegas, Bernard Williams, Martin Wong, O Zhang, François Ziliff

Call and Response
Here is more work from an ongoing series between visual artist Wennie Huang and poet Ed Go.
Ed Go and Wennie Huang Word Image Collaboration. This shows Ed's textual response to Wennie's image from the previous week. The repeating texts are blue (for sky), porkchop (in red), and earth (which also reads as heart).
This work shows Wennie's response to Ed's textual work from the previous week, where I locate the letters b-l-o-o-d from (bl)ue and p(o)rkch(op) - the upside down p of porkchop reading as the letter "d". I've inscribed this response by piercing the paper as a tracing isolating these letters in the same position as they appear in Ed's textual work.
The final image shows Ed's response to the previous week's work where she shrank two 8 x 8 drawings 50% and copied them side by side as if they were pages of a book. Here, Ed has added a crossword puzzle background, implying a setting, using some words from those drawings he had previously extrapolated from the Internet, and linking them with new words.

From Istanbul to New York City
First exhibited in Istanbul Turkey at the Pera Museum, Octet: Codes and Contexts in Recent Art will be on display at the Visual Arts Gallery at the School of Visual Arts in Manhattan, located at 601 West 26 Street, 15th floor, New York, NY 10001. The exhibition features a work by Brooklyn artist Taney Roniger whose Stones and Cipher series that juxtaposes organic and mechanical, natural and artificial environments was the basis for an exhibition last March at Slate Gallery.
The exhibition will be on view from November 24 - December 23, 2009
The opening reception will be on Thursday, December 3, 2009, 6-8pm.
From the exhibition webpage:
"Octet: Codes and Contexts in Recent Art," curated by BFA Fine Arts Department Chair Suzanne Anker and faculty member Peter Hristoff, is a survey of 111 works by 66 artists from the School of Visual Arts (SVA), offering a multi-generational response to current trends in contemporary artistic practice. The selected works reflect the preponderance of available influences in a global, media-driven society, where technology allows for instantaneous transmission of culture and access to an enormous data bank of shared images and ideas. Suzanne Anker explains, "In our global world where the familiar can seem foreign and the foreign sometimes overtly familiar, borders have become exceedingly porous between cultures and communities. 'Octet' presents an amalgam of stylistic concerns as a way to present the dynamic flow of advancing patterns within the visual arts."
"Octet" is divided into eight thematic sections: Word and Image; Identity and Identity Politics; Post Pop Art and Tabloid Culture; The Corporeal and Divine; Material Matters; Narrative Imperatives; World Dramas; and Relational Aesthetics."
About Taney Roniger's work:
"Word and Image examines visual articulations of language, as in Stephen Ellis's They Feed the Lion, an interpretation of the last stanza of a poem by Philip Levine, and Taney Roniger's Stone Series (Scroll), which explores the commonalities of organic forms and digital language"
