Nao Bustamante Heads to MoMA

Thursday, January 13th, 2011

Nao BustamanteNao Bustamante didn’t win the art competition last summer on cable channel Bravo’s “reality” TV show, “Work of Art: The Next Great Artist.”

But she is getting a night of her own at NYC’s Museum of Modern Art, “An Evening With Nao Bustamante,” and that sure ain’t a bad consolation prize.

Nao Bustamante – Troy artist and associate professor of New Media and Live Art at RPI – will present a performance/lecture that includes selections of her performance-based video works at MoMA’s Roy and Niuta Titus Theater 2 at 7pm on Monday, February 28.

The evening is part of the museum’s Documentary Fortnight festival, as well as the Modern Mondays series.

In the meantime, Bustamante’s work is also featured in the group art exhibition with the rather unweildy name of “Readykeulous: The Hurtful Healer: The Correspondance Issue” at Invisible-Exports in NYC. Other artists whose work is featured in the show include Carolee Schneeman, David Wojnarowicz, Genesis Breyer P-Orridge, Kara Walker, Kathleen Hanna, Kathy Acker, Bernadette Mayer and others. The exhibition – which opens on Friday with a reception from 6-8pm – remains on view through Sunday, February 13.

ArtBeat: Abe Nover: “Found Out” & Other NYC Exhibits

Tuesday, September 14th, 2010

They say that good things come to those who wait.

Well, Abe Nover has certainly been waiting long enough, and now the 93-year-old artist is finally about to have his first one-person New York City art exhibition. Nover’s found art assemblages will be on exhibit at Gallery 307, a Seventh Avenue art gallery in Manhattan whose mission is to showcase the work of older artists.

Nover’s exhibition opens on Thursday, September 16, with an artist reception form 6-8pm. “Found Out” will remain on view through Thursday, October 7.

And, yes, Abe Nover just happens to be the father of Nippertown’s uber music fan, concert-goer and bongo player extraordinare Steve Nover.

If you do happen to find yourself in NYC on Thursday with art on your mind, you can also stop by the Pelavin Gallery, where there will be a reception from 6-8pm for Valatie artist Tara Fracalossi’s exhibition, “A Space of Time So Small.” The exhibit remains of view through Saturday, October 23.

And finally, Nippertown artist Gina Occhiogrosso has two pieces of work currently showing in “Hemispheres,” a group exhibition at the Lana Santorelli Gallery in NYC. The exhibit runs through Saturday, October 16.
