Michel Auder’s solo show with Martos Gallery, And virtually everything said has been said incorrectly, and it's been said wrong, or it's been covered wrong by the press, on view June 15 – August 3, 2018  features his new film TRUMPED (2018), a mural of new photographs.
Adina Glickstein, “Michel Auder’s Images of Images,” Hyperallergic, July 14, 2018:
"The prints that line the walls seem only to have one thing in common: they all reveal themselves to be mediated, images of images — photos of paintings and desktops and iPhone screenshots. Gesturing towards the questions of mechanical reproducibility that have nipped at the heels of image-makers since the advent of the printing press, Auder dares you to whip out your phone, snap a shot, and layer on to the mediation matrix."
Go and catch a glimpse of Michel's world before the show closes on August 3, 2018.

JBS Reliquarium: Bosch

Hieronymus Bosch's art with its profound irony and inventiveness is an internalized part of Jelena's imagination.  Enlightenment gone sour, scientific observation of nature overloaded with details that push towards the grotesque - Bosch extracted fantastic from the very density of realistic observation of life, nature, and human character.

Heaven, hell, and everything in between on his paintings and drawings are made up of quotidian objects that were twisted and deformed by invention, irony, and poetic imagination, their original purpose forgotten.  This vision of the world is perverse and whimsical, yet so very humane in its irreverence, awe at the world, and humor.

JBS Reliquarium: The Runner

 

 A new rubric on Jelena Behrend Blog.  Mummified memories and real-life magic objects from Jelena's life and Studio.

Floating over a devastated and scorched terrain of ashes and cigarette butts, focused like a brave arrow, always moving, this runner through smoke and fire has been Jelena's companion for the past two decades.  Jelena found this mysterious figurine at a yard sale in Alphabet City, the corner of Avenue B and E6th Street, while searching for fine second-skin leather jackets.  Like a Voodoo doll, this adopted amulet became a cross-dresser and has been changing clothes as well.  Recently she lost her anklets, but is now sporting an exoskeleton of melted baroque rubber.

NYC celebrates Michel Auder this Weekend
This weekend NYC is celebrating the work of Michel Auder, one of Jelena’s closest friends. Anthology Film Archives, the Lower East Side stronghold fortress of the avantgarde, is offering a two-part program retrospective of Auder’s films from 1969 to 2014. A compulsive documentarian of himself and those around him (quite a notable group: Warhol, the Zanzibar group, his ex-wives Viva and Cindy Sherman, Alice Neel, and last but not least Jelena herself, and many others), Auder dandifies the everyday,  paradoxically blending defensive narcissism and emotional depth.
And on Saturday, Participant Inc will be hosting a launch of a new monograph on Auder: "Stories, myths, ironies, and other songs: conceived, directed, edited and produced by M. Auder."
Read more about The Feature, Auder’s autobiographical opus, featuring Jelena, Zlato, and the Studio.
Don't forget to ask Jelena to show you her collection of Michel's works gathered over the long years of their friendship the next time you come by the Studio.
