Curated by Susan Hoeltzel and Yuneikys Villalonga.
Lehman College Art Gallery/CUNY
Feb. 7 - May 12, 2012
Artists: Mark Dean Veca, Pablo Helguera, Priscila De Carvalho, Enrique Chagoya, Tom Otterness, Sue Coe, Red Grooms, Steve Gianakos, Gary Panter, Peter Saul, Sean McCarthy, D. Dominick Lombardi, William T Wiley, Peter Saul, Felipe Galindo, Luis Cruz Azaceta, James Barsness, Sandy Winters, Dan Hernandez and many more.
Under the Influence: The Comics and Contemporary Art will examine the work of approximately 25 artists indebted to the style and energy of comics imagery. The comics connote humor with the term "funnies" suggesting a lighthearted sensibility and playfulness with irony and satire also a part of the territory. But the comics often explore a more complex side of human existence - for Freud humor was a path to the unconscious. The exhibition will feature a range of media. There will be an online catalogue.

SOCRATES SCULPTURE PARK | LONG ISLAND CITY, NEW YORK
"Between the lines" 18 pvc poles, enamel and rope, 2011
VISTA
Curated by Alyson Baker with Lars Fisk and Elissa Goldstone
May 8 - August 7, 2011
Vista explores the ways that methods of viewing and observation determine the assessment and evaluation of an object or scene. The works in the exhibition employ visual alignment, perspective, and the framing of a site-line or point of view to dictate perception. The show re-examines themes and ideas that were initially laid out in the Park's 2002 show View and was curated in response to a reemergence of these topics in current artmaking practices. The Park's location along the East River provides a spectacular view of Manhattan that is the backdrop for all the exhibitions presented at the Park. This show takes particular stock in the Park's location and the outlook that it affords of urban greenspace, iconic cityscape, river and open sky.
