Creative Time on Tumblr

Rhizome Commissions [3 for tumblr art!] Deadline Extended to May 15 →

“Awards are typically between $1,000 and $5,000. Four of the awards will be given to artists from New York. One of the commissions will go to an artist (from anywhere) with a proposal for a socially-engaged project to take place in New York. Three commissions will be given to projects that engage with Tumblr….”

Get on that, artists! (Emphasis ours.)

art21:

“To be working with my hands with the clay generates a stimulus in the brain. The connection between the brain and the breathing, and the sweating, and the time that you spend, and how you slow down thinking or you accelerate thinking—you generate the different aspects of thinking. When I feel that it should be ready is a quite subjective thing. The shape should represent what just happened before.”
—Gabriel Orozco

Gabriel Orozco, our current 100 Artists featured artist, is shown here in 2002 working at Le Chailloux La Tuilerie in France, a former brick factory converted into a ceramics studio. This scene is featured in the Art in the Twenty-First Century Season 2 episode, Loss & Desire (2003).

Ugo Rondinone is about to rock NYC once again! Human Nature, an installation of nine bluestone giants in Rockefeller Center, presented by Public Art Fund, opens April 23.

As you probably remember, Rondinone’s Hell, Yes! adorned the facade of New Museum from December 2007 through November 2010.

In 2006, Creative Time presented Rondinone’s white, enameled aluminum sculptures made from casts of Italian olive trees in Battery Park City for Art on the Plaza 6. The works were poetically entitled air gets into everything even nothing and get up girl a sun is running the world.

A week in the life of a Nick Cave horse from HEARD•NY dancer Jules Bakshi.

“I approached a rosy-cheeked Ailey student, Molly Levy, to be my rear. ‘Sure!’ she said gamely, and we spent the rest of rehearsal moving as one, Molly hinged forward at the hips, flat backed, holding my waist as I trotted us around the room.”

Excerpt of “From the Horse’s Mouth” on Jules Bakshi’s blog.

Creative Time intern Ashley Perry delivers our collected donations to Katherine Gressel, Smack Mellon’s Programs Manager.

Many NYC art non-profits suffered greatly as a result of Hurricane Sandy. In December, Creative Time partnered with Paddle8 for [Re]Start, an initiative to raise funds for some of the hardest hit organization. With auction proceeds and generous matching from CT’s Board of Trustees, we were able to raise over $12,000 for Smack Mellon, Brooklyn Waterfront Artists Coalition (BWAC), Printed Matter, Inc., Snug Harbor, and Coney Island USA. Last month, we visited three of the organizations to hand them the donations.
