PRESS HIGHLIGHTS 2001

UNDER PRESSURE (January 25 - March 3, 2001)
"A group exhibition [that] may simply raise your spirits", Kim Levin, Village Voice, February 20, 2001.
"This season's most obsessively focused group show", Robert Mahoney, Time Out New York, March 1, 2001.
"The concept of play, as revealed her, can be as serious as it is reflexive, even existential. Metaphors are dynamically projected through a series of semiotic tensions", Robert C. Morgan, Art Press, April, 2001.

TALK IS CHEAP. GIANNI MOTTI AND SISLEJ XHAFA (April 5 - May 19, 2001)
"Two maverick artists, whose M.O.'s cross the line where life and art meet luck and magic" Kim Levin, The Village Voice, April 24, 2001.
"Until recently Xhafa's work has been seen only in European venues, but a current show at Swiss Institute in New York has provided the artist with his first significant exposure in the United States." Giorgio Verzotti, Artforum, May 2001.

FABRICE GYGI (May 31 - August 18, 2001)
"Over all, the spare installation seems like some collaboration between Franz Kafka and Donald Judd", The New Yorker, August 20, 2001.
"Fabrice Gygi's new installation should tweak a few raw nerves", Michael Wilson, Artforum.com, July 2001.
"Gygi creates an awkwardly sparse voting booth installation of impermanent structures", Kim Levin, The Village Voice, July 3, 2001.
"Gygi's installation offers a stripped-down look at the election stage: a site where choice and fairness are presumed, but in which other, less democratic forces might intervene", Martha Schwendener, Time Out New York, July 26, 2001.

UNTITLED (previously called MAYDAY MAYDAY) (September 18 - October 20, 2001)
"This 14-artist exhibition about fateful moments and pure panic […] raises questions of relevance, irrelevance, coincidence, and the sometimes uncanny prescience of art". Kim Levin, Village Voice October 3, 2001.
"A surprising group show curated by Marc-Olivier Wahler. Somehow influenced by David Lynch (...), the strength of Untitled relies on the visionary qualities of the works and lets the viewers come up with their favorite drama." Massimiliano Gioni, Flash Art, November/December, 2001.

CHRISTIAN JANKOWSKI (November 15 2001 - January 11, 2002)
"Christian Jankowski (...) is a sweetheart. Like Rirkrit Tiravanija and Gillian Wearing, he takes the relatively cold matter of Conceptual Art and melds it into something warm but not gooey funny but not satirical. He doesn't so much critique society as mingle with it and occasionally tactfully collaborate with it. (...) Its three video works include one of the season's hits." Roberta Smith, The New York Times, January 4, 2002.
"By posing tough questions about art and its potential, Jankowski asks his viewers to draw their own conclusions, inviting them to find their own poetic transformation." Jordan Kantor, Artforum International, February 2002.
