Dreamful Slumber: Drawings & Videos by James Fotopoulos, Jan 7 to Feb 6."Dreamful Slumbers: Drawings and Video" is the first NY solo exhibition of filmmaker/artist James Fotopoulos. The title relates to William Blake’s creation myth The Book of Urizen and the exhibit marks Fotopoulos’ serious return to drawing, a practice of his youth. The exhibit traces the development of Fotopoulos’ current works in charcoal, from black & white, to experimentation with reds, to a recent focus on blue. Other drawings made for his videos provide comment on the relationship between art by a filmmaker and the “art” made for a film. A new video work highlights the connection between drawing and video making, a subject that has interested Fotopoulos for years.

The Bricoleurs: The Fourth Annual Artists from the Registry ExhibitionCurated by Christian Fuller and Risa Shoup Each year BRIC Rotunda Gallery presents an exhibition exclusively drawn from its Artist Registry, an online resource containing over 15,000 image files and 1,000 active users. The 2012 exhibition The Bricoleurs will present the work of artists who explore the medium of collage and assemblage, and examine expanding the canon of these processes. These artists embrace the practice of bricolage - constructing new forms and imagery, and creating cogency among sometimes disparate elements of a work. Artists include: Andrea Burgay, Max Greis, MaryKate Maher, Joseph Gillette, Cooper Holoweski, Alana Fitzgerald, Christian Maychack, Danielle Durchslag, Man Bartlett, and Troy Michie.


FiguredLori Ledis Emerging Curator Exhibition Curated by Kris Nuzzi BRIC Rotunda Gallery Project Room The exhibition Figured explores how artists undertake representation of the figure without using a physical form. Deliberately moving beyond the meaning of direct portraiture, the exhibition focuses on unconventional interpretations to reveal the artist’s intention beyond what meets the eye. Using words, possessions, names, and symbolic shapes, the artists of Figured both capture the essence of the individual they represent and leave the viewer wanting more. Artists include: Julia Chiang, Petros Chrisostomou, Leigh E. Davis, Leor Grady, Regi Müller, and Eric Rhein.

Traces - The Marks of History, This poignant exhibition explores the photojournalist’s role as a witness to history using only the marks traced on landscapes and faces by extraordinary events. A shadow, a stain, an empty space or a memory explored, sometimes there’s a physical mark and sometimes only a visual echo or an emotional resonance. This collective show by VII photographers includes work by Marcus Bleasdale, Alexandra Boulat, Ron Haviv, Antonin Kratochvil, Joachim Ladefoged, Seamus Murphy and Stephanie Sinclair from five continents across 20 years. November 3 – Jan 31.
