Künstlerhaus Stuttgart Taps Eric Golo Stone to Be Artistic Director
Eric Golo Stone has been hired as artistic director of the Künstlerhaus Stuttgart in Germany, and will begin in the new job on January 1, 2020. Stone was a curator at LAXART in Los Angeles from 2013 to 2017 and, last year, organized the exhibition and program “Contractual Situations We Live By” at the Kunsthalle Bern in Switzerland, which looked at how—to simplify things dramatically—contemporary artists have been using contracts as part of their practices. “I look forward to building on a history of the Künstlerhaus in which the organizing of policy is realized as deliberate and substantive, restless and unruly, artistic experimentation,” Stone said in a statement. The Künstlerhaus job is a unique one in that leaders are appointed for a fixed term of no more than five years; Stone is following Fatima Hellberg, who has been in the role since 2015.
JTT Gallery in New York Adds Three Artists
Elaine Cameron-Weir, Issy Wood, and Sam McKinniss have joined New York gallery JTT, whose multigenerational roster includes Doreen Garner, Marlon Mullen, Jamian Juliano-Villani, and Diane Simpson.
Cameron-Weir, who makes bewitching, inventive sculptures that channel, in uncanny fashion, the human body and natural environments using everything from slices of copper to giant clamshells, will have a solo show at the Lower East Side space that opens September 8. The New York–based artist has had solo exhibitions at the New Museum in Manhattan and the Storm King Art Center in Mountainville, New York, and has shown work with JTT in group shows, fairs, and presentations through the gallery-share program Condo.
McKinniss, meanwhile, has made his name with seductive paintings of potent cultural tropes and moments, from Madonna on the album cover of Ray of Life, to Alicia Silverstone as Batgirl, to Arnold Schwarzenegger astride a motorcycle in Terminator. He had a solo show with Almine Rech in Brussels in January, was in the 2017 JTT show “Dirge,” and had previously shown in New York and Los Angeles with Team Gallery. He’s based in New York, and will have a one-person show at his new gallery that opens February 16, 2020.
Last but not least, the London-based Wood is known for paintings that can be by turns surreal, macabre, and comic. They charm, darkly. She had a one-person show earlier this year at Goldsmiths CCA in the British capital, was in a two-person outing this summer at JTT (with Margaret Wharton), and has been in group shows at the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw and Tate St. Ives in England. Mark your calendars on January 8, 2020 for Wood’s first solo show with JTT. —Andrew Russeth
Red Bull Arts Detroit Details 2020 Artist Residency and Curatorial Fellowship
Artists and curators looking to spend some quality time living and working in Detroit, take note: Red Bull Arts Detroit has announced details for its 2020 artist residency and curatorial fellowship. The residency will now last two months, instead of the previous three, a shift the organization characterized as an effort to make it more manageable for participants. Additionally, residency terms will no longer culminate with an exhibition of work by the artists-in-residence. Instead, the Red Bull Arts team will curate public exhibitions in the gallery. The curatorial fellow will receive a $5,000 unrestricted stipend and a $15,000 budget for an exhibition. The selection committee, which will choose nine artists-in-residence and one curatorial fellow, includes the artist, writer, and curator Michelle Grabner; Legacy Russell, artist, writer, and associate curator of exhibitions at the Studio Museum in Harlem; 2018 Red Bull Arts Detroit artist-in-residence Joiri Minaya; and art historian and theorist Michael Stone-Richards. Applications are due September 30.
