Armory Show 2013 Open Forum Talks
One highlight that I am looking forward to, besides the Pier 94, are the lectures and talks.
Besides the Open Forum talk at the Armory, “The Psychology of Consumerism” at 1pm on March 7, is “The Armory Show 1913: Myths and Misconceptions” at 1pm on March 8. This is a discussion between Marilyn Kushner, Francis Naumann, and Gail Stavitsky, and is moderated by art critic, writer and Yale art school dean Robert Storr.
How to Find an Art Gallery as an Artist
Artists need to show their work, but how do you do it?
There is no one answer or solution to showing your work. One way is to attend gallery, art, museum and other openings or shows. Get to know the main players or galleries in your area.
During openings its important to be professional and not see it as an opportunity to sell yourself--its a time to "network" and just be friendly. Eventually, you want want to approach a dealer or gallery after getting a feel for their interests.

Leah Harmuth: Jens Ullrich, Contemporary Fine Artist
Jens Ullrich, German contemporary artist,
creates collages taken from photographs of great sports moments
plucked from newspapers.His recent series, called Pilots, combines elements of classical sculpture and contemporary images of athletes in motion. Ullrich’s most recent work is on view at NADA New York.
Jens Ullrich takes carefully aligned, gracefully carved stone images of figures from antiquity and matches them with contemporary athletes, wryly suspending time and space.
As Ullrich states from the website, flavorwire, “Because I love figurative sculpture, I forced them into symbolic reparations, by hustling their divided bodies into new action and by violating their authorship, so that free spirit, which is known to fly like a dove, can finally take possession of them.”
Preserving a fleeting moment forever by contrasting athletic liveliness with the inflexible static, chiseled quality of time-worn statues, Ullrich’s colleges comment on the ephemeral nature of youth.
