Parker Gallery is proud to present its second solo exhibition with Marley Freeman. The exhibition features recent paintings and a selection of antique textiles from Paul Freeman Textile Artifacts. The textiles are displayed on freestanding cardboard armatures, referencing architectural monuments at an intimiate, human scale.
The recent paintings encompass elements of abstraction, figuration, portraiture and landscape painting all at once, without yielding to any restrictive genre. Freeman’s paintings are nebulous enigmas, frustratingly and rewardingly elusive of language.
Each canvas demonstrates a striking autonomy; individual paintings present their own, idiosyncratic principles and personalities as though they were created in separate and distinct moments in time. Yet upon closer examination we see a specific color percolate in one and return in another, suggesting they were worked on together and with others, making their individuality ever more triumphant.
Spur With Energy (2019) simultaneously suggests a bird’s eye view of snarled mid-city traffic, a circuit breaker, and a friendly robot. The power of free association is ripe in Marley’s paintings, but is merely the amuse-bouche of their potential and enduring allure. Consider also The Future Arrived Too Early (2019), depicting two seated figures in folding chairs on a speckled floor in front of a wall smattered with splotches of seafoam green. Dividing the zones of floor and wall are dozens of horizontal bands in brilliant color, abstracting our already tenuous notion of pictorial space.

Ann Craven: Pensée #59 Parapet Real Humans
January 23-February 8, 2020
2901 Sidney Street
Saint Louis, MO 63104
In the French language, a pansy is called pensée, which means “a thought given.” The name is supposedly derived from its likeness to a pensive human face.
It is a flower that possesses a litany of artistic usage throughout history. Pensée is also a “bouquet” of flowers, or “thoughts”, inescapable as a middle ground between the worldly and the ethereal as an extended portrait of the human spirit. Rendering a chronology of thoughts about life and death, the artist dedicated this pensée project to the life of her mother.
Craven’s subjects are often of nature, fleeting things that shift and bloom in cycles of perpetual change, their representations as mercurial as their memories.
Ann Craven’s Pensée watercolors (all 23 × 15 inches) were exhibited first at the FRAC Champagne-Ardenne in Reims France in 2008, then at Maccarone Gallery in New York City in 2011 as part of the show Ann Craven: Watercolors, and in 2016 at Galerie des Multiples in Paris in the show: 100%, 2015 + Flower Power.
In 2013 Karma Books published “PENSÉE.” This 98 page book gathers the entire series of ninety-two pensée watercolors that Ann Craven painted in 2007-08 while in residency at the FRAC Champagne-Ardenne in Reims, France.
Ann Craven is renowned for her bold portraits of the moon, birds and flowers. Major solo exhibitions of her work have been held at the Center for Maine Contemporary Art, KARMA, Southard Reid, and Nina Johnson Gallery, among others. Her work is in the permanent collection of the Whitney Museum, the Museum of Modern Art, and the Hammer Museum, among others. She currently lives and works in New York City.
Alex Da Corte’s vibrant installations and mesmerizing video works can be found just as readily at major international art ventures, such as the 2019 Venice Biennale exhibition May You Live in Interesting Times, as on an electronic billboard in Times Square, New York. His visually stimulating and intellectually compelling work spans across a variety of media, including video, installation, sculpture, and painting, and takes cues and inspiration from contemporary pop culture. As a self-proclaimed “anthropologist of the immediate past,” he mines everyday objects from consumer culture to transport viewers through otherworldly experiences created with otherwise mundane, familiar images and items. A long-time Philadelphia resident, Da Corte has an extensive, personal history with the Marcel Duchamp galleries at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, a connection that becomes clear through the elevated status of the everyday through his work.
As part of an upcoming exhibition in Philadelphia—Invisible City: Philadelphia and the Vernacular Avant-garde, which highlights Philadelphia’s artistic accomplishments during the 1960s and ’70s, Da Corte will reinvent Allan Kaprow’s 1962 Happening, Chicken. Happenings grew out of challenges to the categories of art that were initiated by Duchamp and his contemporaries in the early twentieth century. Invisible City: Philadelphia and the Vernacular Avant-garde is curated by Sid Sachs and Jennie Hirsh. More information can be found at https://www.uarts.edu/invisiblecity.
“Radical Acts” is a program series explores the legacy of Marcel Duchamp through the lens of contemporary artists working today.

Making use of a list of mediums too lengthy to enumerate, Mungo Thomson (b. 1969, Woodland; lives in Los Angeles) aligns himself with the droll and heady legacy of California conceptualism.
Thomson borrows from design worlds (graphic and product) to contemplate human existence vs. geological time. He has isolated the font on the Times magazine masthead in an ongoing series of paintings on mirrors (Time through the ages) and slowed down the lilting tunes of new age musician William Ackerman (the long play record ’It Takes a Year’ actually takes 365 days to hear).
Snowman recasts the seemingly ubiquitous cardboard delivery box into a bronze monument for our age. Recasting also is an appropriate term for the transformation of these disposable (but environmentally damaging) cardboard boxes into the durable, mineralogical bronze. Thomson seizes the everyday, too easily cast off consumer objects of our day and produces anthropological relics for the future.
Frieze Projects 2020 is co-curated by Rita Gonzalez (Terri and Michael Smooke Curator and Department Head of Contemporary Art, LACMA) and Pilar Tompkins Rivas (Director, Vincent Price Art Museum).

Will Boone (b. 1982, Houston; lives in Los Angeles) creates paintings, sculptures and installations that draw inspiration from diverse references, including forms of pop, vernacular, and industrial culture, lore and history, and subcultural aesthetics.
Boone’s The Three Fates, P-22, and Grave, reimagine figures from vintage hobby kits popular in the 1960s as life-sized, stand-alone sculptures. In these works he isolates menacing witches around a cauldron, a cougar ready to pounce, and a gravestone from a monster set, reconfiguring classic Americana toys to create new narratives and associations.
His works foreground materiality, transforming the plastic manufacturing techniques of the post-war era figurines by upscaling them to cast bronze, finished with a loose enamel painting technique reminiscent of the hobbyist’s brush.
Frieze Projects 2020 is co-curated by Rita Gonzalez (Terri and Michael Smooke Curator and Department Head of Contemporary Art, LACMA) and Pilar Tompkins Rivas (Director, Vincent Price Art Museum).

Mathew Cerletty in conversation with Lucy Kim in Boston University’s Tuesday Night MFA Lecture Series Boston University
Room 410, 808 Commonwealth Avenue
Brookline, MA 02446
Tuesday, October 29, 7:30 pm bu.edu
Hosted by the graduate programs in Painting and Sculpture at Boston University, the Tuesday Night MFA Lecture series brings practicing artists to campus to present their work. All lectures are free and open to the public.
Mathew Cerletty (CFA’02) utilizes a hyper-realistic approach to painting that marries the quotidian and the surreal within a range of motifs and subjects. While an undergraduate at Boston University, Cerletty developed the ability to carefully paint the figure in the academic, representational mode. Today, he has developed a practice in which virtuosic yet slightly uncanny depictions of human subjects, corporate logos, and domestic objects are rendered in high-key color and with flat precision. Pervading Cerletty’s paintings is a deadpan sense of humor tempered by a disarming sincerity towards his seemingly banal subjects.
His work has been exhibited in museums including Whitney Museum of American Art, the Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, and the Museum of Contemporary Art in San Diego; and at galleries including Rivington Arms, Team Gallery, Plum and Poe in New York, and the Boston University Art Galleries. He is represented by Office Baroque in Brussels, Belgium and Standard in Oslo, Norway.

November 30, 2018 – February 24, 2019
Chaoyang District
Beijing, China
Opening in November 2018, M WOODS presents a solo exhibition by Swiss artist Nicolas Party. Working across painting, pastel, sculpture, video and installation, Party is renowned for a deep sense of site specificity and temporality in his projects, which often feature hand-painted murals that exist on gallery walls only for the duration of an exhibition. Within these painted environments sit two and three dimensional works which, through a style and colour system unique to the artist, offer a contemporary take on traditional subjects such as still life, portraiture, landscape and the sculptural bust.
Party’s exhibition at M WOODS will be his first at a non-profit institution in Asia and his largest to date, bringing together recent works with a suite of new sculptures and wallpaintings created on site at the museum.
