THE BRUCE HIGH QUALITY FOUNDATION at Susan Inglett Gallery, NY

The Bruce High Quality Foundation open their solo exhibition BHQFU at Susan Inglett, New York.

The Bruce High Quality Foundation University (B.H.Q.F.U.) is an unaccredited, free collaborative school founded by the eponymous artist collective and presented by Creative Time, where “students are teachers are administrators are staff.” B.H.Q.F.U. responds to what it views as the over commercialization of the current art school system, offering instead “an education in metaphor manipulation”. Admission is based on a peer-recommendation system; select public programming is also offered. find more information about the show here.

THE BRUCE HIGH QUALITY FOUNDATION at W-Hotel, Miami Beach

Happy Endings, an exhibition of portable museums opens at W-Hotel, Miami Beach on Decmeber 3rd. Portable museums oare discrete objects that contextualise bodies of information. Like their overblown counterparts, their infrastructural forms are themselves metaphors for their particular approahc to history. For instance, a history of development of empire might take the form of a beach ball. Travel-ready with their own educational and administrative departments, these portable museums tend not to expand their collections over time, but to collect new contexts for themselves. They are intentionally itinerant and stubbornly responsive to the conditions of whatever world happens to be around them.

For Happy Endings, the Bruce High Quality Foundation presents a group of portable museums directed towards a wide-range of themes: commercial comeupperance, memorial monumentalism, patterns of patronage, gustatory art history, corporate scultpure, arts&leisure, gener, power, materiality, future fascism, urban colonialism, ambulatory services, and the impossibility of doing anything in the first place. Divinly inspired by the late social sculptor Bruce High Quality, Happy Endings draws on the rich fictional legacy of The Bruce High Quality Foundation itself to re-imagine the museum as a restless wanderer on the dark desert highway of history.

SARAH OPPENHEIMER at Annely Juda Fine Art, London

MF-142 at Annely Juda Fine Art, London - Oppenheimers first exhibition in the UK runs 17 September - 20 October 2009.

MF–142 is a major installation on the third floor of Annely Juda Fine Art. In contrast to the conventional right-angle plane of the gallery’s walls and ceilings, Oppenheimer has bisected the gallery with a massive diagonal plane – floor to ceiling. Doubling the floor beneath, the plane twists on two axes. This rotated plane becomes wall, ceiling or floor depending on the location of the viewer within the space. Whilst forming an imposing new level to the gallery the installation also has a curious and impressive levity.

Apertures interrupt the plane disclosing two views of the building’s exterior not usually visible from within the gallery. This hole is a trademark of Oppenheimer’s work – providing a ‘filmic’ or ‘cinematic’ view of a space physically removed from the viewer. It becomes a visual frame allowing viewers to be spectators or characters.

Oppenheimer’s installations are made with meticulous precision and quality of finish – this contributes to the sense of permanence about her works – they never appear as transient installations but moreover as permanent challenges to our perception of our environment and ourselves within it.

Cueto Projects,

New York, NY 10011

February 13th, 2009, 6PM

Concomitant with the impending financial meltdown of the galaxy, and in the spirit of elaborating on political metaphors by way of natural events, Empire re-imagines New York City as a pastiche of Utopian visions through photographic historical interventions, dis-temporal allegorical paintings, broken statuary, and unrealizable urban planning models."
