Matthew Brannon & Wade Guyton 50 Moons of Saturn, T2 Torino Triennial, Turin, Italy – November 6, 2008 - January 18, 2009
I am the man of gloom-widowed-unconsoled
The prince of Aquitaine, his tower in riun:
My sole star is dead-and my constellation lute
Bears the black sun of melancholia.
Gérard de Nerval – "El Desdichado"
Curated by Daniel Birnbaum

Matthew Brannon Matthew Brannon, Galleria Gió Marconi, Milan, Italy – November 12, 2008 – January 31, 2009
On Thursday, the 12th of November, Gió Marconi Gallery is pleased to present Matthew Brannon's first solo exhibition in Italy, "Grandmothers," a show of all new work featuring a wall painting of a painting, a sculpture of a back stage, two new tapestries, and ten of his signature letterpress prints. After early, frustrated attempts at painting Brannon began to self-consciously test the limits of art and graphic design by creating prints that mimicked advertising in order to more directly address contemporary cosmopolitan lifestyle. In "Grandmothers" Brannon continues this exploration, humoring himself specifically with issues of ambition and compromise.

Jorge Pardo & Philippe Parreno "Theanyspacewhatever", Guggenheim Museum, New York – October 24, 2008 – January 7, 2009
During the 1990s a number of artists claimed the exhibition as their medium. Working independently or in various collaborative constellations, they eschewed the individual object in favor of the exhibition environment as a dynamic arena, ever expanding its physical and temporal parameters. Using the museum as a springboard for work that reaches beyond the visual arts, their work often commingles with other disciplines such as architecture, design, and theater, engaging directly with the vicissitudes of everyday life to offer subtle moments of transformation.

Seth Price Altermodern: Tate Triennial, London – February 2 - April 26, 2009
