Malborough Announces First Exhibition Of Charlotte Hodes’
11 Nov 2009
Following the success of Charlotte Hodes’s exhibition at the Wallace Collection, London, in 2007, Marlborough Fine Art will be holding its’ first exhibition of Hodes’ work.
The exhibition will feature approximately 20 ornately decorated ceramics, a group of which are considerably larger and more ambitious than the ceramics displayed at the Wallace Collection. Complimenting the ceramics, and shown alongside, will be a series of intricately cut collages.
The depiction of the female figure, drawn from contemporary and historical sources, is the over-riding and recurrent theme. The figure set against a rich tapestry of pattern, drapery, repeated motifs and held together through intensely pulsating colours of pinks, purples and greens evoke a sensuousness and a sumptuous feeling of celebration, simultaneously questioning the position of the female figure as decorative motif.
Charlotte Hodes studied at Brighton College of Art, 1977-78 and at the Slade School, University College London where she completed her undergraduate and postgraduate studies in painting in 1984.
She was Associate Artist at the Wallace Collection, London from 2005-2007, and Winner of the Jerwood Drawing Prize, 2006.
Recent Solo shows include "Fragmented Images: Wallace Collection 2007", "Drawing Skirts", Baring Wing, University Gallery, Newcastle upon Tyne, 2008, and "Figures and Patterns", Flow Gallery, London, 2006.
Group shows include: "Glasstress", Palazzo Cavalli Franchetti 53rd International Venice Biennale, Venice. "Cartoon, Collage and its Decorative Motif", Eagle Gallery, London 2006. "The European Design Biennale", Design Museum, London 2003, and "Waste to Taste", Sotheby’s London 2003.
In 2002 she presented an installation "Cacophony", a cabinet of vases for the series "Digital Responses" at the Victoria and Albert Museum, London.

Oklahoma City Museum Of Art Presents “New Frontiers” Series
11 Nov 2009
The Oklahoma City Museum of Art launches "New Frontiers: Series for Contemporary Art". "New Frontiers" will introduce the Oklahoma City community and region to the work of individual contemporary artists and to current perspectives in the field. The Series will provide a framework for the exchange of ideas between the Museum, artists, and the community. "New Frontiers" will connect the Museum to the international dialogue on contemporary art and emphasize the importance of the art-of-our-time as a critical and dynamic part of our daily lives.
The first exhibition of "New Frontiers" will open in January 2010 with an exhibition by New York-based artist Jason Peters titled "Anti.Gravity.Material.Light." For the exhibition, Peters will create sculptural installations specifically for presentation in the Museum's galleries. The physicality of Peters' work is reinforced by a large-scale presence and use of ready-made objects. In a recent interview posted on 'Art 21': Blog, artist, writer, and art critic Georgia Kotretsos states, "He is a builder, a maker, and a worker who often turns trash into precious and delicate structures by using modular elements, which he then interconnects like building blocks to create entirely new forms." During a one-month residency at the Museum, Peters will work with area college art students in the construction and installation of his work, thus providing a great opportunity for student artists to gain significant skills and experience.
Peters recently has had solo exhibitions at White Flag Projects, St. Louis, MO (2008); Slowdown, Omaha, NE (2007); Robert Berman Gallery, Santa Monica, CA (2007); Mattress Factory, Pittsburgh, PA (2006); and Center for the Contemporary Arts, Santa Fe, NM (2004). Group exhibitions include The Light Project, Pulitzer Foundation for the Arts, St. Louis, MO (2008); Tooth and Nail, Stay Gold Gallery, Brooklyn, NY (2006); d.u.m.b.o. art under the bridge festival, d.u.m.b.o. arts center, Brooklyn, NY (2002-2003); as well as OPTIONS 99, 9th Biennial Exhibition, Washington Project Space, Washington, D.C. (1999). He received his Bachelor of Fine Arts in Sculpture from the Maryland Institute College of Art in 1999.
Following Peters' exhibition, subsequent projects will be presented, working from the platform of exhibition installments of emerging, mid-career, and established artists. In September 2010, the Museum will present the work of Norman, Oklahoma, based sculptor Jonathan Hils. Hils is currently an associate professor of sculpture at the University of Oklahoma (OU).
Oklahoma City Museum of Art Director Glen Gentele said, "New Frontiers" underscores the Museum's commitment to the art-of-our-time and complements the 19th and 20th century collections of American and European art on view in the Museum's galleries. It is important for the Museum to include living artists in its broad exhibition and education programs, and we look forward to further community enrichment and actively engaging audiences in thought-provoking experiences of art, through "New Frontiers."
