| 11:00am | Exhibition KIRSTEN JUSTESEN AT VIEW AT P.S.1
P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center
Location: 22-25 Jackson Ave at the intersection of 46th Ave, Long Island City, 11101
Danish painter Flemming Hoff exhibits at Amos Eno Gallery and a reception will be held on Thursday, September 6 from 6pm – 8pm. The gallery describes the paintings of Flemming Hoff stating that: “underplayed dramas unfold on these canvasses reflecting the artist’s architectural and Scandinavian background”. Flemming Hoff has a background in architecture and there is no denying this basis. His oil painting is meticulously built from scratch through use of various paint scrapers and the picture surface is essentially characterized by geometrical shapes and stringent, accurate compositions. Hoff rarely uses more than three colors – white, black and an earth color. Colors, whose unpretentiousness is accentuating the nature of the picture surface and directing attention to the range of structures, this surface holds. |

| 6:30pm | Lecture: In Another Light: Danish Painting in the 19th Century
Scandinavia House
Location: 58 Park Avenue, New York City, NY
In Another Light: Danish Painting in the Nineteenth Century (New York:Vendome Press, 2007) is the first survey of 19th-century Danish painting in any language. To mark its publication, author Patricia G. Berman, a Professor of Art at Wellesley College, will explore some of the themes examined in the book. Danish artists working between the end of the Napoleonic Wars and the turn of the 20th century produced among the most rigorous and haunting images in Europe. Their works were also innovative, often made in dialogue with, or even presaging, pictorial developments elsewhere. The lecture will focus on some of the artistic careers, as well as the cultural and political circumstances, that shaped this body of work.$10 (FREE for ASF members & students with ID) |
