MEDIA ARTICLES
“Flash dancer – Russia’s greatest eccentric”
Dazed & Confused, 2008
“Andrey Bartenev – the russian avant-garde artist hits London”
The Independent on Sunday, 2008
“Northern light”.
The Times, London, UK, 2008
“Andrey Bartenev in outer space will save the human race…Beam me up! Andrey Bartenev!.. Extra-terrestrial origins are a common fantasy about him, and likely one he doesn’t terribly mind…In Andrey’s apocalyptic imagining of things, we are headed in one of two directions: frenzied new world, or brave new world.”
Carlos Soto, Useless, NY, USA, 2008
“Bartenev become virtually ubiquitous on the international scene… There is a mad rush for his works in London.”
Art + Auction, March, 2008
“Bartenev does seem genuinely to want, in this commodified world, to be iconoclastic and avant-garde…”
Sue Hubbard, The Independent, London, UK, 2008
“…that make 52nd Venice Biennale a relevant art-world extravaganza…”
V MAGAZINE , NY, USA, 2007
"…reflection on narcissism"
The New York Times, 2005
“The King of Kitsch couture”
The Guardian, London,1999
"…his own performances in such costumes have invited comparison with the work of Diaghilev and Meyerhold. The actors becomes both a person and a figure of art, both organism and mechanism… The figures break out of the usual areas within which we allow our bodies to move. Freedom springs from restriction."
The Guardian, London, UK, 1999
“Walking pop-art Thunderer… Great eccentric, the hero of the cartoons”,
Vogue, Russia
„… The costumes sort of Oscar Schlemmer meets Rodchenko…“
Brian Eno, the book „The year with swollen appendices“
“… magical installation costumes that recalled Russian constructivism”,
The New York Times
“Bartenev’s performances art steaked to the forefront of the Russian artistic avant-garde. He’s the Damien Hirst of the Arctic Circle… That is our visual art. Not a single British performance artist has achieved a reputation matching the Sensation artist…”
by John Windsor, The Independent, London, UK
“... Bauhaus-style costumes more like abstract forms than human dress. A chorus of flowers and goblins come in Ski Yoghurt wrappings with orange cones on their heads... As aficionados of the art of junk modelling they (children) were deeply impressed by the cleverness of the designs.“
The Guardian, London, UK
„…The costumes are hysterically funny and radiantly colourful to work with Bartenev you need courage, happiness and clear mind…“
The Independent, London, UK

Eric Cahan
Eric Cahan has worked for several years as an editorial photographer, and his commercial work has been published in Vogue Nippon, Elle Décor, Glamour, and House and Garden. His fine art photography, characterized by an unfailing attention to color and detail, pushes the viewer to be present and connected with their natural surroundings, resulting in a sort of photographic nature walk.
Cahan's most recent series of photographs is entitled Color Theory: Sky. Influenced by the work of Agnes Martin, James Turrell, and Mark Rothko, these photographic abstractions are created by an intricate and painstaking process. In each photograph, Cahan captures both the dramatic and subtle changes of light at sunrise and sunset, and heightens the color saturation with the use of multiple cameras and filters. Similarly, the chromium printing of each photograph involves an obsessive attention to detail. Cahan will reprint the image as many times as necessary until the final rendering is seamless, without striations or blemishes. The result is something beyond technical description, evoking the emotion and presence of nature at its most sublime. As described by the artist: "The pictures I make only exist on the paper surface. I try to capture an unseen or rarely witnessed element in nature, hoping to lift the spirit and empower the viewer. I want the viewer to be drawn into this world, and be, for a time, completely absorbed in rather than separate from the image."
Bob Colacello
Bob Colacello is one of the most prolific biographical writers in the United States. In the 1970s, he received considerable recognition as editor of Interview Magazine. He went on to author the highly praised, Ronnie and Nancy: Their Path to the White House, 1911-1980 and a memoir of Andy Warhol in the '70s and early '80s, Holy Terror: Andy Warhol Close Up, which was critiqued by the New York Times, as the “best-written and the most killingly observed” book on the subject. In this exhibition, Mr. Colacello exhibits a rare series of vintage photographic prints from his most recent publication, OUT, which capture the happening late '70's and early '80s art and social scene.
Daniel Fulller
intro to show
“The capabilities of modern technology are vast, and, I feel, it can provide us with a new vision, a new insight, and a new way of looking at a familiar subject. The beauty of the world that surrounds us is not so much in the modern world, but more in the one that has been lost because of our complacency; our refusal to recognize it’s majesty."
- Daniel Fuller
“The Lost World” is an exhibition of nine photographs from Daniel Fuller’s Moonscape Series.
The Lost World exhibition examines the planet we inhabit- a world that increasingly exists of opposing forces. Mankinds attempt to capture the rudiments of these forces in a more meaningful and positive manner is the challenge he faces - be it through correcting global warming or environmental policy that honors nature. While technology has been an instrument of beneficial change, all to often, it has been one of ultimate destruction as well. Nature, in contrast, remains a constant; a rich tradition linking our past to our future. The Lost World urges us to respect and care for the beautiful world we all call home.
Daniel Fuller was born in 1982 in Hanalei, Kauai. He spent his early years surfing the heavy Pacific waves of the Hawaiian Islands, becoming the extreme waterman he is today. At the age of 17, while traveling the world as a model and renowned professional surfer, he began to take advantage of his new experiences and the beauty that surrounded him by documenting the different cultures, peoples and landscapes he encountered.
Fuller soon began to experiment more seriously with the art of photography; taking hundreds of photos, trying different cameras, and getting advice from the professionals that he was working with. He was influenced by various photographers, including the great Ansel Adams and Hiroshi Sugimoto.
The evolution of Fuller’s craft was a natural and organic process for him. He compares the development of his photography to his surfing, in that each photograph is composed of elements of nature and the only way to truly improve is through trial and error.
Two years ago, in the backyard of his house in Hawaii, Fuller took in the beauty of an incredible full moon illuminating the Pacific Ocean. The vision evoked in him a deep curiosity and the determination to preserve it. That night, he photographed a single frame. Later, seeing the proof sheet, Fuller understood the possibilities. It was the catalyst of The Lost World.

Klaus Kertes and Jake Uriah Patterson
Jake U. Patterson, born in Sag Harbor, NY, educated in California, New Zealand, Bali, and NY, has traveled extensively and experienced cultures that have influenced his artistic vision.
Before graduating high school, Jake co-starred in a production at Bay Street Theater, where his rendition of a young Iraqi teen was most impressive. He was Student Council President, was inducted into the National Honor Society, and maintained honor roll grades. He played Varsity basketball and was the anchor on his All–League Varsity track team.
Jake designed a T-shirt line in 2007, Edgewood Goodies, that was presented at a trunk show in East Hampton and sold out. A Dan’s Papers review, acclaimed Jake as “one of the youngest new designers on the East End.”
Jake exhibited at the Parish Art Museum and the Southampton Cultural Center, where he received an Honorable Mention award for a self portrait oil on denim. Concurrently, five other oils of the series were exhibited at Bridgehampton Historical Society. Klaus Kertess invited Jake to participate in The Annual Hamptons Show at the Springs Fireplace Project. An East Hampton Star review quoted Mr. Kertess: “[Jake] was in the show [Historical Society] with…self-portraits that were really boldly and beautifully painted for someone that young,” Jake’s work has been well received, with six write-ups including photographs, and an interview on WLIU radio. He has sold work and has been privately commissioned.
Jake recently began his BFA at School of Visual Arts, NYC, and made the Dean’s List. He is transferring to California Institute of the Arts in September 2009.
Matisse Patterson
Bio
Matisse Patterson was born in Munich, Germany, in a hotel/apartment where her family was living on August 1st, 1987. She spent her first two years in Europe before returning to the USA where she attended kindergarten at the Hampton Day School in Bridgehampton, NY. When she was a tiny girl she started surfing while the family was vacationing in Bali, Indonesia, and started competing in the USA at the age of eight years. Her family moved to Bali for two years in 1997, where she home schooled and continued surfing. After returning stateside for a couple of years, she attended the Ross School and Bridgehampton School. She competed in Surfing, Tennis and Track. Her family moved abroad again a few years later — this time to New Zealand. There she attended high school, studied art, surfed and played basketball. Matisse graduated from Bridgehampton High School with the highest average and achieved All League and MVP awards for basketball, a Bay Street Young Playwrights award for a play she wrote and directed, a Southampton Cultural Center Painting award and a Parish Art Museum Honorable Mention for her portfolio work. With scholarship award money she attended Student Art Centers International in Florence, Italy before being accepted at the School of Visual Arts in New York City last year, where she currently studies painting, sculpture, drawing and creative writing. The socially conscious Matisse loves art and is an avid surfer and basketballer.
John Ross Rist
John Ross Rist (Rhode Island School of Design, BFA, 2006) appears in this, his New York City debut showing. In 1997, at 15, Mr. Rist won the US Holocaust Memorial National Art Contest with his first ever painting, which now still remains on display at the Washington DC Holocaust Museum. Now 27, John unveils his latest body of work. His "splatter heads" revisit renaissance classics while shedding light on the darker side. Bravely, John successfully combines old classical styles with modern action painting techniques; something so many contemporary artists try to achieve.
