“BOCHNER BOETTI FONTANA” AT MAGAZZINO
Spanning more than 60 years, Frank Stella’s studio practice has pushed abstraction to the limits, investigating every category from painting and printmaking to sculpture and public art. Among the myriad of forms found in Stella’s work, one element continuously reappears, a motif that is simultaneously abstract and figurative: the star. Under the spotlight for the first time, this exhibition surveys Stella’s use of the star, ranging from two-dimensional works of the 1960s to its most recent incarnation in sculptures, wall reliefs, and painted objects from the 2010s. “Frank Stella’s Stars, A Survey,” the artist’s first solo exhibition at The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum, will be on view in the Museum’s galleries and Sculpture Garden through May 9.

Christy Chan, whose six-story tall video, All is Not Lost, is being projected on the exterior tower of the historic Maxon Mills grain mill at the Wassaic Project, is a believer in public art. “Public art invites us to stop and just be in the moment, wherever we are, Chan says. “The in-between spaces, the spaces where we are simply on our way to becoming ourselves, are what I’m interested in.” The work is a composite of videos of waterfalls filmed by Chan in 2017 and 2018. The water in the video is not flowing downwards, but slowly flowing backwards at 1/200th the normal speed of a waterfall responding to gravity. All is Not Lost is an outdoor, nighttime art installation on view at Wassaic Project nightly, from 7:30-9:30pm, through October 24. Wassaicproject.org
Mel Bochner, one of the leading figures in the development of Conceptual art in New York in the 1960s and 1970s, curates an exhibition examining the formal, conceptual, and procedural affinities between his work and that of Alighiero Boetti and Lucio Fontana of the Arte Povera movement. Through Bochner’s perspective, the exhibition offers a number of resonances between his work and that of the Italian and Italian-Argentine artists: an exploration of systems, language, and materials; and a sense of irony and humor. The exhibition features paintings, sculptures, and installations, including works from Bochner’s personal archive, as well as major international loans. October 2 through January 11. Magazzino.art
