November 16–January 28, 2011
Exhibition Opening: November 15, 6 to 9PM
Ubu Gallery is pleased to announce Georges Hugnet: The Love Life of the Spumifers, an exhibition of hand-painted photographic postcards by the eminent Surrealist artist, poet, bookbinding designer and critic. These bizarre, lusciously painted images illustrate Hugnet’s work, The Love Life of the Spumifers where each accompanying text poetically and humorously catalogues the mating habits of a fantastical creature or Spumifer.
The Love Life of the Spumifers, or La Vie Amoureuse des Spumifères, combines Surrealist poetry’s fascination with l’amour and Dada’s tendency towards deliberate grammatical spontaneity and absurdity. Words like bowoodling, friskadoodling and alabamaraminating are concocted by Hugnet to describe the seductive strategies of his imaginary creatures. Each text is dedicated to a different creature, describing how it woos, teases, gropes and molests its intended love conquest. Each Spumifer is illust - Created by: mandatoryfirst lastname

Ben VAUTIER
- Nov 30, 2011 at 5:00am to Jan 14, 2012 at 1:00pm EST
- Location: Chelsea
- Description:
Vicky David Gallery presents an installation of paintings by Ben Vautier. Through his use of phrases, quotes and statements, BEN juggles with words to deliver a concise and polished message. Also bringing to light the falsely naive, impertinence and accuracy of the words used. BEN, who lives and works in Nice, France, is a self-taught French artist and performer of Swiss origin born in 1935. He became well known in the 1960s, primarily for his "manuscript paintings." At which time, he co-founded the Fluxus movement, inspired by Yves Klein and the New Realists. Similar to the neo Dadaist movement, Ben questions the reality and declared "All is art” in 1962. Heir to Duchamp, his work leads one to reflect on the notoriety of the artist and commercialization of the art world over all. Ben's oeuvre are on display throughout major private and public collections around the world.
