Seminar with the Institut des Amériques and the Cité internationale des arts

Daniel Horowitz & Marc Porée

Avec Christine Zumello
L’art d’enjamber et/ou raccommoder : peinture et poésie Seams and Stitches of creation and Poetry

Wednesday, November 20th 2019, 7 pm Auditorium

Free admission,
within the limits of seats Talk in French and English

Daniel Horowitz’s artistic practice is characterized by a unique combination of realism and surrealist abstraction, which he combines through the manipulation of archival images. He recently introduced sewing as an essential component of his work.

Academic and 19th-21st c. English poetry Critic Marc Porée is also well versed in the art of "sewing", as with words this time, as poetry is for him letters and images assembled around a common meaning. Thinking of Emily Dickinson’s hand-sown manuscript collections while looking at Horowitz's work...

How does a creator that is also a handyman -- whether a visual artist or a poet -- go about creating something from the realities of everyday life, and, in doing so, succeeds in patching up, sewing together, unstitching, and spanning the intervals between one line of verse and the next and reducing (or not) the gaps?
‘‘Mind the gap, in short...’’

Organized by the Cité internationale des arts, in partnership with the Institut des Amériques,

and with the support of Christine Zumello (lecturer in American Civilization at the Sorbonne Nouvelle-Paris 3 University), this conversation will mark the start of a cycle questioning parallel trajectories that usually wouldn't meet and are yet driven by common questions.

Daniel Horowitz (USA) was a recipient of the Cité internationale des arts Visual Arts Committees in 2017-2018.

LES FLEURS DE L’ÉTÉ SONT LES RÊVES DE L’HIVER RACONTÉS LE MATIN À LA TABLE DES ANGES

6 June - 20 July 2019

Jean Claracq, Daniel Horowitz, Golnaz Payani, Karine Rougier, Apolonia Sokol

Curated by René-Julien Praz and with the kind support of the Fondation d’Entreprise Ricard

Summer’s Flowers are like the Dreams Winter Recounts in the Morning Sitting at the Angels’ Table Été: the French word for summer may only be three letters long, but it is full of promise. It is an intense word, evoking as it does a season bathed in sunlight and full of sweet fragrances, shooting stars, sweltering heat and dazzling colours. Waves dance, bodies tan, eyes sparkle, children play and minds are set free from care. It is an inspirational season loved by writers and poets, during which time seems to stand still. Cradled in the soft arms of a gentle breeze, the last sheds of our resistance melt away. So enjoy the moment, the pleasure of discovering and perceiving the world through the eyes of these artists brought to you by summer. Praz-Delavallade Paris is inviting five young painters to take over the gallery walls and, in its generosity, summer offers us a new crop of intriguing discoveries and invites us to take a seat at the angels’ table. Total freedom of expression is the rule with just one condition: the resulting encounters must be explosive, unexpected, discordant and above all amazing.

Pensée Sauvage

Drawing inspiration from Theodore de Bry's 16th century prints of savages, in this new body of work created in residence at the Cité Internationale des Arts, Daniel Horowitz explores the tenuous relationship of the self and other. These works on canvas once again examine the “pensée sauvage” present in all of us and so dear to Claude Lévi-Strauss. “Canvas-collages” assembled with the help of a sewing machine, summon the unconscious of a collective memory and compose a metaphysics of the human soul, which Daniel Horowitz continues to explore throughout his work.

Austrian Cultural Forum at the Cité Internationale des Arts

To celebrate 365 days at the Cité Internationale des Arts, I am delighted to announce my participation in the upcoming monumental exhibition, Im Schwarm der Objekte, presented by the Austrian Cultural Forum and curated by Judith Pichlmüller.

I will be presenting an installation of new works titled, "I want to be a cavalryman like my father was," taken from the quotation by the infamous enfant sauvage, Kaspar Hauser. Fear and fascination prompted by encounters with such exotic creatures as feral children and so-called savages has forced us to contemplate what does it really mean to be human.

You are cordially invited to the view Daniel Horowitz’s installation, in the framework of the exhibition, Cabinet, at Galerie Da-End, which combines contemporary painting with pre-Columbian sculpture and serves as a microcosm of the greater Totem sans Taboo project currently in development in residence at the Cité Internationale des Arts.  

This installation is the result of a collaboration with eminent tribal art expert and collector, Alexandre Bernand, and represents an ongoing investigation of the iconographic and photographic archives at the Musée du Quai Branly. The pairing and confluence of seemingly disparate objects and images across an expanse of time and space, is at the heart of this as- sociative approach, and can be interpreted as the vestige of a forgotten expedition into the collective unconscious. 

Taking inspiration from images and artifacts that represent first encounters between the Occident and traditional societies, the artist reexamines the role images play in shaping memory and identity as a result of the “aesthetic curiosity, scientific interests, military expeditions, networks of commerce, and ‘opportunities’ of all sorts [that] contributed to feed logics of domination, affirmation, and national rivalries ( Art historian, Bénédicte Savoy). ”

TIMELESS EDITIONS NOW AT THE NEW MUSEUM STORE & BRAVIN LEE PROGRAMS IN NEW YORK CITY

AgNO 3 on glass and vintage timepiece  © Daniel Horowitz Studio 2017

Timeless is is a unique editioned conceptual work now on sale at The New Museum. Each clock and watch is hand-made by the artist in his personal chemlab, whereby a thin layer of metallic silver is deposited onto glass selectively coating with AgNO 3. The series is autobiographical and serves as an implement to reflect on the meaning of time and self. Timeless will be included in the upcoming exhibition Sitting Still at Bravin Lee Gallery opening Wednesday, October 19, 2017. 

Through experiments in transmutation, the alchemists struggled to understand the elements that shape our existence, and therefore ourselves. The clock and the mirror are both inventions that have most radically influenced our perception of the world. Silvering of glass, is a process of illumination of identity. The mirror has played a formative role in shaping our sense of personal identity. It is almost impossible to pass by one’s reflection without taking pause. However, identity is something that is forever changing as is time, and so the fluid and appearance of the viewer, reflects a more authentic self.

I will be speaking at a two-day conference, Cabinets of Curiosities in the XXI Century, hosted by the Museum of Arts & Crafts and the Museum of Hunting and Nature in Paris. It is a great honor to share the bill with David Wilson, founder of the Museum of Jurassic Technology, and Laurent Le Bon, director of the Musée Picasso, among other esteemed guests. 

Based on the dialogue between researchers (anthropologists, historians, sociologists, philosophers), artists and professionals (curators, conservators, documentarians, archivists, administrators), this seminar reveals a new approach to the museum institution, characterized by special attention paid to the practice of  "perception", to the imaginary life of objects, and to their modes of exposure.

Opening April 22 4 - 6 pm

Bethaniënstraat 39, 1012 BZ Amsterdam, Netherlands

The Noble Savage, a mythic being reared by wolves, bearing incredible physical strength and sexual potency and living in isolation has lived on in the Western psyche as a projection of man’s fantasies and anxieties. The savageness of the natural world has long been subjugated by conquest and science, however, the archetype of the noble savage is still very much alive in the interior of our minds, clamoring for release. This exhibition is an exploration of the effect of civilization on man’s essential humanity.

“The paradox of civilization: it is a tool we have created to protect ourselves from unhappiness, and yet it is our largest source of unhappiness.”  - Sigmund Freud

In this site-specific installation for SPRING/BREAK, Daniel Horowitz explores the tension between the individual and civilization with traditional culture.  The booth is presented as a surrogate study of psychic explorers such as Freud, Jung and Lacan. The Shaman in traditional society was the interlocutor between the physical and spiritual worlds. Psychoanalysis has since replaced shamanism, as the wildness of the natural world has been subjugated by conquest and science. However the component archetypes of the noble savage are still very much alive in the interior of our mind. The diverse body of work includes oil paintings on linen stitched with textiles, paintings on antique engravings and silver nitrate on glass.

Through experiments in transmutation, the alchemists struggled to understand the elements that shape our existence, and therefore ourselves. Silvering of glass, is a process of illumination of identity. As described in Lacan’s mirror stage, turning the individual into an object that can be perceived from outside one’s self. The mirror has played a formative role in shaping our sense of personal identity. However, identity is something that is volatile, forever changing, and so the fluid and deteriorated appearance of the viewer, reflects a more authentic self.

Totem & Taboo

Totem & Taboo, an exhibition of new works by Daniel Horowitz, will open on November 12th at Tillou Fine Art, located in an historic Clinton Hill brownstone. The exhibition will feature works on paper and paintings on raw linen stitched with textiles, juxtaposed with ethnographic artifacts from various private collections. Totem & Taboo will be accompanied by a series of salon-style interdisciplinary conversations and happenings with experts from a variety of fields, including art, anthropology, music and psychology.

Musée de la Chasse et de Nature

In this body of 20 works commissioned by the Musée de la Chasse et de Nature, I dive into the exercise of pseudo-historical documentation - retelling a fictive safari expedition by subverting original 18th, 19th and early 20th century artifacts to explore the art of hunting, as a metaphor for man’s quest of self. By seamlessly integrating the counterfeit historical work back into the permanent collection of the Museum among many other genuine objects from the past, the exhibition confuses what is “museological objectivation” and “ontological engineering” to cite the French curator Vincent Normand.

extended through March 5th

For Hypnagogia, Daniel Horowitz presents artworks created during his travels to Leipzig, Germany. To the artist, the exhibition is a painter’s log of a voyage to the Old World, into the uncanny. He traveled there in order to discover and describe a visual codex of the peculiar and the profane. The city of Leipzig, for Horowitz, represents many paradoxes; ideals and nightmares, socialism and capitalism, romanticism and realism, scary monsters and super creeps.

Ethan Cohen Fine Arts

Ethan Cohen New York is pleased to present our summer 2015 group show IN THE CLOUD. The exhibition will run from June 25th to August 28th , 2015.
 
IN THE CLOUD invokes two definitions of "Cloud" which have converged in our time. The first comes down to us from the ancients, the idea of an invisible influence from above as expressed these days through process art. The second is an attempt to digest, through painting and new media, the technology-based 'Cloud' phenomenon.  Where we once looked to the clouds to guide us, we now trust The Cloud with our personal mysteries: our memories, relationships, and virtual identity. Both are significant in our consciousness, requiring us to believe in the things that we cannot see. Your hands can’t hold your data and your face won’t meet the gods.

Featuring artworks by Hans Breder, Taha Heydari, Deshawn Dumas, Mollie McKinley, Greg Haberny, Daniel Horowitz, Buhua Liu, Eric Yevak, Noah Sokoloff, Jake Cartwright, Isaac Aden, Sylvia Feliz, Liliana Gao, Mark John Smith, Michael Patton, Matt Whitman, Jon Tsoi, Joseph Ayers, Vargas-Suarez Universal, Christopher Lin, Nikita Shoshensky and opening reception sound installation by Data Garden.
