Previews RH Gallery’s Fictitious Topographies: Daniel Escobar
“
Daniel Escobar will ring in 2012 with
Fictitious Topographies, his first solo exhibition in the United States. Inspired by the ubiquitous influence of the urban landscape, the Brazilian artist has decided to remake aspects of real cities into creative works of art born from maps and printed promotional materials. By destroying and resurrecting the physical world, Escobar finds new possibilities in the everyday.”

Reviews RH Gallery’s Pure Clay featuring Young Sook Park and Lee Ufan
“The eminent ceramicist
Young Sook Park has often turned to the past for inspiration, in particular the Chosun dynasty (1392-1910), when pottery in her native Korea had a brilliant efflorescence. A pair of Park's large, gleaming white porcelain "moon jars" placed in the front windows of this Tribeca gallery drew visitors into an exhibition
of ceramics by Park and her compatriot and frequent collaborator
Lee Ufan, and, in the back room, a group show of 13 contemporary artists.”

Features RH Gallery’s Micah Ganske in “3-D Oddities: Micah Ganske sculpts doomed landscapes”
“These sculptures share with the acrylic paintings that are also in the exhibition the juxtaposition of two very different worlds. In the pictures, meticulous renderings of actual places made unlivable by industrial pollution are literally overshadowed
by projections of what,
Ganske says, 'would at one point have been considerable aspirational technology.'

Meredith Mendelsohn Reviews RH Gallery’s Pure Clay
“When the avantgarde
artist
Lee Ufan
met ceramicist
Young
Sook Park at her studio
in 1979 in Seoul,
he offered to mentor
her, initiating a series
of fruitful collaborations
between the
two Korean artists.
This elegant show
spotlighted a small
selection of objects
that the two produced
together, as
well as several paintings
by
Lee Ufan and
ceramics made by

Features RH Gallery’s Micah Ganske in “Culture City Online: Makerbot Hits The Art Fair”
“Art Star gallery, one of the fair’s partners and exhibitors, is using the MakerBot to create a direct connect between art and technology.
The gallery’s curators commissioned artist
Micah Ganske to design sculptures that could be drawn in Google Sketch, then printed out by the MakerBot [...]
Ganske does not usually work in sculpture, but he took the opportunity to “print” sculptures that compliment his recent series of paintings, “Tomorrowland,” which will be on display at the RH Gallery in TriBeCa starting November 1.

Features RH Gallery’s Parastou Fourohar in “Life and Death in Iran: Parastou Forouhar's Subversive Art”
“One November evening in 1998, Iranian intellectuals and activists Dariush and Parvaneh Forouhar, supporters of the democratically elected prime minister, were savagely murdered in their home in Tehran. Their devastated daughter, Frankfurt-based artist
Parastou Forouhar, channeled her grief in the language she spoke most fluently: art -- powerful, poignant, subversive art that pulls you into its uncomfortable beauty with equal parts urgency and mesmerism.”

Katy Donoghue interviews
Katrina Vonnegut for their design issue. Vonnegut discusses her work in RH Gallery's exhibition and the space between art and design. "All my work is straddling that line between what is functional and what is sculpture, and what we can live with in our lives and where we make some concessions. I always feel very torn between those two worlds." - Vonnegut

Parastou Forouhar: Pearls on the Ocean Floor
Pearls on the Ocean Floor, a documentary featuring
Parastou Forouhar, produced by
Rebecca Heidenberg, is reviewed in the Huffington Post. The documentary will be screened at the Pacific Design Center, Los Angeles on
April 26, 2011.
Mahasti Afshar writes of Forouhar, "Calm, articulate, and strong, yet hurting more deeply than we can imagine, she is more imaginative than can be conveyed in a few words. "Her commitment to justice and her incredible strength of character are perhaps the foundation for the power emanating from her work," Heidenberg wrote of Forouhar in the exhibit's press release. Agreed."
