The Book Lovers, curated by David Maroto and Joanna Zieliaska, is a systematic attempt to study the phenomenon of artist novels. An investigation of the creative consequences when artists choose the novel as a medium is the core of this long-term project and research. For an increasing number of artists, the novel is becoming a means to generate new art objects in the scope of a multidisciplinary practice. A collection of novels written by artists and a parallel online database are available for public perusal in a Reading Room, together with a selection of artworks that are inextricably linked to some of the novels.
Robert Blackburn Printmaking Workshop (2nd Floor) will be open for tours; on view in Blackburn 20|20 (5th Floor), Silhouette, curated by Bill Carroll, featuring the work of over 50 artists including Donald Baechler, David Humphrey, Philip Taaffe, and Kara Walker.

Rust Belt
In Sean Hemmerle’s poignant photographs of theatres, banks, factories, and dilapidated houses in the “Rust Belt” the architecture becomes symbolic of societal issues that have been ignored for decades. Hemmerle’s stunning photos create a visual language—the texture of aking paint, broken windows and the shiny reections in pools of frozen water inside of vast industrial buildings— that instills in us a feeling of loneliness felt for these neighborhoods that have all but been forgotten.
Time: 7PM – 10PM

Jeff Rich: Watershed: The French Broad River Basin
At UNITED PHOTO INDUSTRIES
A special Italian rockabilly band will be playing on the Gallery floor at 111 Front Street
A common misconception of a watershed is that it's all about the water. While water does play a large part, the land plays an even larger role by directing the water to a common point, such as a river or ocean. This human impact on the land directly affects the water that runs over it. With his project, Watershed, photographer Jeff Rich intends to highlight the relationship between the land , water, and man, within the Mississippi River watershed.
This long-term series of work aims to define the Mississippi River watershed, the largest watershed in North America, in terms of its smaller pieces.
Time: Through March 30, 2013
Access: Free, open to the public till 9pm
Location: United Photo Industries, 111 Front Street (Suite 204) Dumbo

ST. ANN’s WAREHOUSE presents
Kneehigh: The Wild Bride
Adapted and Directed by Emma Rice.
Kneehigh, the daring and magical company behind Brief Encounter and The Red Shoes, is back- with a red-hot folktale, a brutal edge and a beating heart. In The Wild Bride, a father accidentally sells his daughter to the Devil. And, although our heroine cleverly escapes into an elemental wonderland where she meets a prince, there's more to this story than happily ever after. Expect a wonderful bluegrass score, a fantastic live band, and a fiendishly clever romance for adults and brave children (ages 8+).

The Hollow Center: Curated by Nina Horisaki-Christens
At SMACK MELLON
In the relationship between aesthetics and politics, there is always a risk of falling into the gap between the personal and the communal. Art, and by extension aesthetics, is often discussed as a highly personal, radically individualized form of expression while politics is, by necessity, a force of society that seeks solutions to shared interests. But perhaps this contradiction has been overstated, as it is generally accepted that any art, regardless of its intentions, necessarily takes a political stance by either conforming to or protesting against established systems of power and value. So if the political is necessarily unavoidable, what is the role of an aesthetic that consciously allies itself with the resistances to hegemonic powers? What does it look like, how does it operate, and who is a part of it? The Hollow Center takes such questions as its impetus, featuring recent works by artists that seek both an historical account of and a future potential for a potent aesthetics of resistance. Curated by Nina Horisaki-Christens, artists include: Anida Yoeu Ali and Mary Jane Villamor, Corey Escoto, Elana Mann, MTL, Huong Ngo and Hong-An Truong in collaboration with the Acting the Words is Enacting the World collective, Michala Paludan, Sreshta Rit Premnath, Christine Rebet, Dread Scott, and Mary Simpson.
Time: 5PM-8PM, exhibition on view until April 21, 2013
Access: Free, open to the public.

SMACK MELLON RESIDENCY PROGRAM: Open Studios and Artists' Reception

Each year, Smack Mellon convenes a panel of arts professionals to select the artists from over 600 applicants. Smack Mellon hosts two Open Studios events annually, as well as sponsored visits from curators, critics and gallerists, which provide significant exposure and invaluable career building opportunities.
Artists Include: Golnar Adili, Blane De St. Croix, Ghost of a Dream, Skye Gilkerson, Shana Moulton, M6nika Sziladi.

Eric LoPresti: No Blue Skies
Eric LoPresti’s landscapes are investigations into the “apocalyptic sublime.” Whether rendering nuclear test sites, aerial views of the scarred desert of eastern Washington State where he grew up, or undisclosed explosions across a region’s expanse, LoPresti’s environments are ones of man-made disruption. In his new paintings, LoPresti continues his use of the color field gradient to represent another landscape in transition. Featuring 15-foot canvas of an ominous dust cloud, No Blue Skies presents the terrifying, exhilarating moment when the shock of circumstance blinds us to both past and future.
