JACK SHAINMAN GALLERY Radcliffe Bailey: Quest 513 West 20th Street, New York April 28 – June 4, 2016 Opening reception: Thursday, April 28, 6-8pm

Radcliffe Bailey is a painter, sculptor, and mixed media artist who utilizes the layering of imagery, culturally resonant materials, and text to explore themes of ancestry, race, and memory. Though rooted in his own experiences, Bailey’s work ultimately seeks to understand the role of the individual within our collective history. Reappropriating found materials, such as old family photographs, historical objects from the African Diaspora, and organic forms from the natural world, Bailey draws inspiration from myriad sources including art, science, and music to create works that are both highly personal and overarchingly universal. Bailey lives and works in Atlanta, Georgia.

Shimon Attie: Facts on the Ground 524 West 24th Street, New York April 28 – June 4, 2016 Opening reception: Thursday, April 28, 6-8pm

For his upcoming exhibition, Shimon Attie presents a moving series of photographs captured across Israel and Palestine. In 2013, Attie traveled throughout these two countries and staged site-specific installations consisting of custom made light boxes with illuminated texts. The series builds on the artist’s ongoing investigation into the relationships between place, memory and identity. Often drawing attention to the histories of marginalized communities, Attie seeks to give visual form to both personal and collective memories. His practice often involves public installation and accompanying photography, as well as new media and video works that resist interpretation, raising questions and encouraging reflection on issues of history and memory, loss and trauma. The exhibition will also be accompanied by a monograph from Nazraeli. Attie currently lives and works in New York.

Jack Shainman Gallery will also celebrate the second anniversary of his upstate space, The School, in Kinderhook, New York, with an opening to the public event celebrating the premiere of A Change of Place featuring work by Richard Mosse, Hayv Kahraman, Pierre Dorion and Garnett Puett. The press preview and exhibition opens May 22 and transportation is provided to and from The School.

Opening reception: Friday, May 6, 6-8pm

CONSTRUCT will feature a new series of sculptures, juxtaposed against key archival pieces that will demonstrate the depth and breadth of his prolific career. The new sculptures will primarily expand on his BEAMERS series, which breaks down the human anatomy into a complex system of interlocking beams rather than seeing the body as a sum of individual wholes. The series reconfigures the human body in architectural terms and reconstructing it almost like a skyscraper, giving new meaning to the relationship between man and his built environment. Other highlights of the exhibition include Mother’s Pride IV (2012), in which a fetal

form is ‘eaten’ out of a grid made of sliced bread, echoing his iconic piece from 1982, as well as Bridge, a life size work from 1985.
