Charles Goldman: 4X4X4X4.
Based in Brooklyn NY, artist Charles Goldman makes work that extends sculpture into painting, installation, performance, drawing, sound, photography and architecture.
His exhibition at Birch Contemporary, 4X4X4X4, consists of 4 works from 4 concurrent and long-term series.
RE>CRETE> (Seated) is an edition of 4 RE>CRETE> modules, seated atop 4 identical IKEA tables. The RE>CRETE> modules have no inside or outside, no top or bottom. They are both figure and ground, both subjective and objective. Distance Painting (Folded) is a transparent, double-sided 200-foot-long painting, split in half, creating a layering of 4 – 50-foot-long sections. The piece is created on 3/4in. Plexiglass and is free-standing, held aloft by a piece of rough lumber. Moments are a series of intimately sized "fast paintings." Created with the refuse of whatever else is being created in the studio, without much regard for intent or content, they are portraits of fleeting moments. The DWGS. are just that, and, again, there are only 4 presented here (of, potentially, thousands). The interconnectedness of these 4 bodies of work presents a focused picture of the various activities taking place within Goldman's studio over the past couple of years. This is Charles Goldman's 4th exhibition with the gallery
(RE>CRETE> is a custom-designed, 95% recycled building material made from shredded newspaper and junk mail, ground-up packing Styrofoam, home electronics wire, credit cards and CDs, salvaged house paint, old jeans, Portland cement and fly ash).

Donald Sultan: Dominoes.
We are delighted to announce an exhibition comprising the full suite of Donald Sultan's Dominoes aquatint etchings from 1990. this 28-piece set is typical of Sultan's playful use of representational, everyday objects as abstract forms – in this case the simple graphic quality of a set of dominoes.
For this exhibition we present an interactive installation. Following the rules of a traditional dominoes game, the highest double domino (6/6) will initially be hung on one wall of the space. The remaining 27 works will be available for audience members to select and place next to the starting domino, one per day, during gallery hours. The installation will build over time, resulting in a game of dominoes that will unfold over the course of the exhibition.

Integral | The Ambient Paintings of Bruno Kurz.
Odon Wagner Contemporary is pleased to present the third solo exhibition of new paintings by contemporary German artist Bruno Kurz. Working primarily on reflective surfaces such as metal, Kurz's works exude luminosity, a style of painting which evokes the kind of mindless states involved in meditation. "Kurz's paintings take aspects or elements of nature, such as those of the landscape, of light, of horizons, of ice, of fields, of fog, of water, but rather than representing them, they use their raw materials to construct spiritual experiences of transcendence." – Excerpt from an essay by Donald Brackett.

A Foundation for Fifty Years: McMichael Masterworks.
Organized by the McMichael Canadian Art Collection.
Curated by Sarah Stanners.
The McMichael owes its existence and collection to the generosity of donors. A Foundation for Fifty Years presents some of the most significant donations made for the McMichael gallery's founding year (1966) by Signe and Robert McMichael, as well as by their peers, who wanted to gift the public with beautiful Canadian masterworks. Installed in the main gallery, this collection celebrates the works of the Group of Seven and their contemporaries. Artists on show include Tom Thomson, Lawren Harris, David Milne, and Emily Carr, to name a few. The exhibition space has been restored to its 1960s modernist style, in a manner that the McMichaels intended: traditional materials with modern lines.
