Zeitgeist

Cueto Project, New York

Group Show

Artists: Natacha Ivanova (Russia), Rachel Lowther (United Kingdom), Ali Mahdavi (Iran), Roman Opalka (Poland), Alexandre Ponomarev (Russia), Egill Saebjorsson (Iceland), Chris Sauter (San Antonio), Marko Velk (Croatia), Vuk Vidor (Serbia), Fritz Welch (Brooklyn).

Cueto Project is pleased to present its inaugural group exhibition, Zeitgeist, to take place on Saturday, February 24th. After six years in the Marais district in Paris, Valerie Cueto, renowned gallery owner and dealer, relocates her gallery to a new 4,000-foot ground floor space in Chelsea. “New York is such a fast and changing place. My gallery will now be part of this dynamic environment and the gallery artists will benefit from this flux.”

Honoring the famous 1982 Norman Rosenthal show in Berlin by the same name, Zeitgeist will showcase works by an international group of gallery artists working in different media. This exhibition explores deconstruction, architecture and minimalism through Alexandre Ponomarev’s work (representing Russia at the Venice Biennale) in which the form of an island transitions from a video to drawing; and a large-format installation by Brooklyn artist Fritz Welch. The multi-generational selection of artists, both emerging and established includes minimalist paintings by Roman Opalka juxtaposed to an over-the-top ping-pong video installation by Egill Sæbjörnsson. Natacha Ivanova’s fairy tales paintings, on the other hand, flirt with Rachel Lowther’s bewitching humanistic tree. Artist Marko Velk presents large, dark charcoal and black pastel on paper and Vuk Vidor’s work uses an explosion of color in his giant pop-political super-hero canvases. Chris Sauter cuts out and sculpts the American Flag into a direct political association and brings history back to its literal roots, connecting agrarian society to the development of human culture.

Opening Reception: Saturday, February 24th 6pm-8pm
