A3Westchester County Business Journal ARTSNEWSMARCH 2020FROM THE CEOBy Janet Langsam,ArtsWestchester CEOArt in the WorkplaceIs art in the workplace just a nicedistraction? Or does it have more subtlepowers? Studies on this subject seemto infer that art in the workplace boostsboth creativity and productivity. Withthe premise that good design and artfulsurroundings are positive motivators,Developer Martin Ginsburg launched hislatest creative project at City Square inWhite Plains, with a collection of originalworks of art by Westchester and regionalartists that were curated for the propertyby ArtsWestchester. The complex isa mixed use development with office,residential, retail and lifestyle amenities,principally an artistic environment thatboldly suggests that being surrounded byart is inspirational. The collection featuresworks by Carrie Belk, who uses encausticmaterials to create depth and surfacetension in her paintings; Raymond Saaof Jersey City, who constructs massivecollages using oil on canvas; and PaulGreco, who creates abstract work thatfocuses on subjects ranging from thecosmic to the microscopic. There arealso sculptures like Steve Rossi’s paintedladders on the mezzanine, which Rossiuses to question value systems and “theladder of success” as it relates to theegalitarian nature of the American dream.Ginsburg himself is concerned with thebig picture and is featuring art in livingand work spaces.

The new publicartwork by artist Frances Gallardofeatures 12 sculpture panels that wererecently installed on either side of the14th Street Bridge, linking First andSouth Boyd Streets. It’s the first in aseries of new public artworks in the City.Six overhead bridges along theNew Haven line train tracks in the Cityare being rebuilt, and each will includeone of these site-specific artworkscommissioned by MTA Arts & Design.Gallardo’s sculpture reflects itssurroundings by embracing the City’spast, and intentionally incorporates thathistory into her piece. To create thework, she hand-cut pieces of vintagemaps, including blueprints from MountVernon’s original grid structure, andcombined them to produce a newabstract design. This was turned intodigital files, which were used to cut theblack powder-coated aluminum panels.Other bridges to be rebuilt arelocated at 6th Avenue, 10th Avenue, 3rdAvenue, Fulton Avenue and South Street.Artworks will include themes like music,local history and geography, human andnatural migration, and more.

In the19th century, the Cathedral wasin such a state of disrepair afterthe Napoleonic Wars that it wasalmost demolished – until VictorHugo wrote Notre Dame de Paris(The Hunchback of Notre Dame) andthe building was resurrected to itsformer glory.Now people are clamoring toachieve the same goal once again– to rebuild the national treasure.However, as years shift, techniquesadvance and change, and oncestandard materials become obsolete,the process has proven a difficulttask.On March 5, Alliance Françaisein White Plains will host a lecturethat will address some of thesechallenges. Professor Howard Bloch,a professor of medieval literature atYale, will discuss potential setbacksinvolved in rebuilding the roof ofthis 850-year-old cathedral, suchas maintaining the authenticity andstability of the structure. The lecturewill also discuss the architectureof French cathedrals. A Q&Awill follow. For more info, visitafwestchesterny.org.

These two artists arecontemporary alchemists, making fleshout of memories, as they transformmaterials into poetic reckonings.Art is greater than the total of itscreator and creation.

DerrickAdams and Bisa Butler are two artiststhat have found "task worthy of" theirpowers. Their passion for time, placeand human empathy is on vivid displayin their respected works. Their soloartwork can be a well-integrated dancewhen viewed together.These two artists are like architects;they built a structure that is safe fortheir figures, as well as safe for theirviewers.

A10Westchester County Business Journal ARTSNEWSMARCH 2020featurePasolini'sMessageContinuesto Resonateby William BerminghamThe work of Pier Paolo Pasolini wasboth radical and forward-thinking in itstime – and arguably, it is as relevanttoday as it was fifty years ago. Overthe years, during which the NeubergerMuseum of Art conceived its Pier PaoloPasolini: Subversive Prophet exhibition, itbecame increasingly “timely,” accordingto Museum Director Tracy Fitzpatrick.The show, on view through May 31,originally intended to fill in the curatorialblanks of past exhibitions of Pasolini’sinterdisciplinary works, has taken onnew meaning in today’s complex politicalworld.Though Pasolini is one of Italy’s mostfamous and controversial filmmakers,his work still needs an introduction formany Americans, especially consideringhis influence on contemporary artists ofthe Americas. His films explore issues ofclass and taboo behaviors while strikinga delicate balance between elegantcinematography and jarring exposition.As an outspoken Communist andopenly man in mid-century Italy,Pasolini faced a great deal of adversity.However, by leaning into satireand symbolism, Pasolini deliveredcontentious indictments of systemicissues like misogyny, class inequality,and homophobia that are still pressingissues today.The show’s curator Patrice Giassonexplains that “one of the challenges ofthis exhibition was reckoning with howto make such a controversial, subversiveand complex figure, accessible topeople.” The show navigates this task byproviding a totality of creative context,making it easier for the audience to beable to simply walk into the world ofPasolini.The multimedia exhibition is uniquein its inclusion of multiple aspects of theartist’s work – projected screenings ofPasolini’s films, creative presentations ofprose, visual artwork and film costumesmade by renowned Italian designerPietro Farani. Between the poemscarefully culled from Pasolini’s archiveof thousands to the opulent costumesthat have never been shown in theUnited States, the exhibition providesan exclusive opportunity to experiencePasolini through the lens of his manypassions.The exhibit also includes a sectiondedicated to contemporary artists of theAmericas whose works were influencedby, and pay homage to, Pasolini. Twoof the featured creators are New Yorkbased Chilean artist, architect andfilmmaker Alfredo Jaar, and the lateUruguayan artist Antonio Frasconi, aformer Purchase College professor.Their original works include theshort film The Ashes of Pasolini (2009),that provides a cinematic eulogy toPasolini, as well as a fake sheet ofstamps that raise the question of whysuch a prominent figure has never beennationally honored in Italy. The piecesare also complemented by a collection ofphotos taken during Pasolini’s 1966 visitto New York.Pasolini pulled from his ownexperiences, however the themes areessentially humanist in nature and applyto much more than just the dynamicsof his time and place. Says Giasson: “Iwanted to give American audiences afull opportunity to experience Pasolinithe same way Europe and other parts ofthe world have.”Pasolini spoke with the many headsof his craft to push back against therising tide of post-war consumerism thathe believed was corrosive to humanity.In this exhibition, these separate butthematically unified facets of his craftare amplified to echo through thedecades and tell the story of a tirelesscreative on a mission to liberate theminds of his audience.For more info, visit neuberger.org.Top: Facsimile of Autoritratto con fiore in bocca (Self-Portrait with Flower in Mouth), 1947, Oil on hardboard, 16 11/16" x 13 9/16", Courtesy of Gabinetto G.
