The Hotel as Art Gallery
The New York Times
By DIANE CARDWELL
Published: August 29, 2010
The James, a sleekly designed hotel rising over Grand Street in SoHo, will open for business on Wednesday with all the support staff a guest could expect: a concierge, receptionists, bellhops, chambermaids, parking valets.
 Fred R. Conrad/The New York Times - Matthew Jensen, the art curator of the James Hotel in SoHo, chose works from emerging artists for the hotel’s 14 floors of guest rooms. “It was pretty exciting to me to see how many artists are working, just like I do, like obsessively hard, in their own studio tucked away, but nobody’s really paying attention to them yet,” he said. “There’s a lot more emerging than established in New York — once they’re established, then they all move upstate. So everyone who wants to do it is doing it here.”
Hotels have been hanging fine art on their walls for decades now. Ian Schrager commissioned a series of Robert Mapplethorpe prints for what is considered the original boutique hotel, the Morgans, in 1984; the Roger Smith, a small property in Midtown Manhattan, transformed its lobby into an art gallery and performance space as part of a 1991 renovation.
But few have gone so far as the James, which hired a young artist, Matthew Jensen, to select original artworks to adorn each of its 14 floors of guest rooms.
Mr. Jensen, 29, a photographer whose work was acquired this year by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, may have an unusual job description, but he is also part of a growing breed. As business and building owners look to inject their properties with a little artistic personality, a new class of curators — some of them contractors like Mr. Jensen and some of them staff members — has arisen to help.
“There’s all these empty walls and there are thousands of artists out there who are living in the city and have never had their art seen by anyone,” said Leah McCloskey, who places works by students at the Art Students League in restaurants and apartment and office buildings. “It’s about connecting to that generation of artists and to what’s going on out there.”

All that, and one helping hand a guest might not expect: a hotel art curator.
That connection has been particularly important in the past few years for hotels, which are increasingly seeking novel ways to distinguish themselves from a flood of competition. Responding to guests’ desire to have their lodgings project an image of who they are or aspire to be, hotels are taking their artistic endeavors more seriously, industry analysts say, using art to build an identity rather than just to make it look good.
“Hoteliers are not only trying to come up with a theme or a style that attracts customers, but they are approaching it in a much more professional and involved way,” said Sean Hennessey, chief executive of Lodging Investment Advisors, a consulting firm in Valhalla, N.Y.
“It used to be that you could get away with just slapping something up in the lobby,” he added, “but more and more customers are looking and evaluating it much more closely.”
For the James, meeting that demand has meant trying to reflect the artistic microclimate of SoHo. Though many of the artists who once made the area a creative mecca have fled, an emerging art scene is still represented through nonprofit institutions there that support artists and show their work.
Denihan Hospitality Group, which is developing the hotel, operates another James Hotel in Chicago that is also dedicated to emerging art. At the Surrey, one of its New York hotels, work by established names like Jenny Holzer, Claes Oldenburg and William Kentridge nods to its location on East 76th Street, near major art showcases like the Whitney Museum of American Art.

Mr. Jensen’s relationship with the hotel grew from a chance meeting last year with Brad Wilson, the chief operating officer at Denihan, at an exhibition for Mr. Jensen’s project “Nowhere in Manhattan,” featuring billboard-size photos of the borough’s remaining wildernesses that are meant to spur people to visit those places.
“It’s a way to remind people in a subtle way, if they complain, ‘Oh, I never get out into the woods,’ well, you can just get on the A train to Inwood, or you can go in the other direction to the Rockaways,” Mr. Jensen said.
The pictures appealed to Mr. Wilson — who hung three of them on the building facade when it was under construction — and Mr. Jensen’s job evolved from there. Once hired, he settled on the idea of using New York-based landscape artists working in different media, one per floor.
Using an online database, he amassed a list of about 1,000 artists, which he whittled to the final 14 in three months, creating something that “kind of feels like 14 solo shows stacked on top of each other.”
Taken as a whole, the installation, called “Stand Here and Listen,” is meant to play off the idea of travel, inspired by signs at revered destinations like the Grand Canyon that urge visitors to look out from a particular spot, Mr. Jensen said.
 The owners of the James, which is scheduled to open on Wednesday, tried to reflect the artistic microclimate of SoHo.
One of the artists, Jessica Cannon, said the installation offered guests — perhaps more open to seeing things differently because they are removed from their everyday routines — the chance to experience art in a new way.
“You can have this encounter with work that’s very intimate, almost like it’s in a home or an empty gallery, but you can have it on your own time,” said Ms. Cannon, a painter whose work imbues landscapes with a sense of an impending event. “If someone’s got insomnia at 3 in the morning, they can pace the halls and have a really intimate and personal encounter.”
In addition to curating the hotel art, Mr. Jensen manages the studio of John-Paul Philippe, a painter and designer who created several decorative elements for the hotel, including the room numbers. Mr. Jensen has also been overseeing the installation of the collection — the hotel bought the works — and the text that goes with it, along with a potential catalog.
Mr. Jensen said the curatorial foray, his first, took him to studios all over the city, exposing him to a whole community of artists.

Guerilla action aims to turn advertising space into public space
Toronto Star
Published On Mon Aug 23 2010
Liem Vu Staff Reporter
 
Video: Swapping ads for art
Is it vandalism? Vigilantism? Watch, as activists take down ads and replace them with art. (Aug. 22, 2010)
A lanky, 6-foot-tall New Yorker dressed in black, maneuvers through Toronto armed with an electric screwdriver, duct tape, a stepladder, and a doorknob. His target: A four-sided, Pattison ad pillar.
He removes a screw; inserts the doorknob and cranks open the frame as nearby sirens sound. Within minutes, he is gone, having replaced the ads with art.
One down, 41 to go.
His name is Jordan Seiler, the founder of the Public Ad Campaign, an initiative committed to reclaiming public space from what the campaign contends are illegal advertisers, and filling it with guerilla art.
On Sunday afternoon, Seiler led 15 activists into a war against Canadian billboard giant Pattison Outdoor by removing ads from 41 pillars and replacing them with 85 pieces of art.
“Public space should be a place for public communication,” said the 30-year-old. “I feel like I have a right to react against (advertisements) when, in particular, they’re done illegally.”
The Star was unable to confirm the legal status of the signs targeted by the group, and efforts to reach Pattison Outdoor for comment Sunday were not successful.
Dubbed the Toronto Street Advertising Takeover, TOSAT for short, six ground-level teams of two to three piled into four rental cars Sunday afternoon.
Around 5 p.m., the group left the ‘safehouse’ near Casa Loma with art submitted from around the world including Spain, Berlin, California and Canada.
According to local activist and co-organizer Vanessa Moraless, the action was prompted by what the group argues is Pattison’s non-compliance with Toronto’s billboard laws.
Last December, the city passed a billboard tax ranging from $850.68 to $24,000, which would contribute $10 million to city coffers.
On April 6, 2010, the new sign bylaw and tax went into effect — to the relief of anti-advertising advocates and to the dismay of billboard companies like Pattison, which filed an action against the city with the Ontario Superior Court of Justice to contest the law.
Local activists are concerned that the city is still being too lax with the enforcement of bylaws.
“Pattison built them without permits mostly in the middle of the night,” contends Rami Tabello, coordinator of IllegalSigns.ca.
Tabello has spent the past four years filing Freedom of Information requests to track down unauthorized ads for his website while working with the city to remove them.
He estimates around 30-40 Pattison pillars in the GTA are illegal, but added that he had no connection with Sunday’s guerilla action.
“My organization is not related to TOSAT. Our motto is ‘We fight illegal billboards with the rule of law.’ The rule of law, unfortunately, is not quite working at the moment,” he said.
When contacted Sunday evening, city councillor Adam Vaughan (Ward 20, Trinity-Spadina) expressed disapproval of the action, but noted that the city was on top of the issue.
“I can certainly recognize the frustration that the illegal billboards haven’t all been taken down, but it’s a big city and we’re getting to it,” he said.
Seiler’s installations went down Bathurst St., and seven of the Pattison Pillars he targeted are located inside Vaughan’s Ward 20.
An enforcement team for illegal billboards is currently being assembled, Vaughan added.
“The Pattison Pillars . . . were a hangover from a previous councillor,” Vaughan said. “It’s not clear as to how they were approved.
“I know its in contention with a lot of billboard activists but we’re trying to deal with it with the bylaw,” the councillor noted. “We should have an answer for those people who are concerned there are too many of them very shortly.”
Seiler finished his installations around 7 p.m. Sunday as teams around the city were also wrapping up.
Pedestrians marveled at the pieces of artwork and at times, engaged with Seiler and other installers.
“It’s a mental leap that most people don’t have a chance to engage in,” said Seiler. Ads, he added, “are improper mental stimulation. The idea that we feel like we don’t have ownership (of public space) becomes problematic.
“If these projects prove that we do have ownership, it also questions whether or not there’s a force preventing us access to that,” Seiler said.

I am pleased to announce that a new, luxury (aren’t they all) hotel in Soho called The James New York has acquired 11 of my works including a new 4′x4′ used envelope commission. They bought a mixture of my newer envelope pieces and some older rainbow-themed work. They could make a “haul” video and post it on youtube! The intention is for my work to fill the hallways of one floor.
The hotel is not complete yet but they should be opening in September at which point I’ll post opening reception deets and which floor you can see my work on.

I recently taught a six-week monotyope printmaking workshop at the Lower East Side Printshop (in midtown). For the third class artists made images by putting found materials through the press…leaves, string, bits of plastic, lace, steel wool, sandpaper, paper cut outs; whatever can be run though an etching press without destroying it. This group of artists have been particularly interested in integrating non-traditional papers into their images.

"The United Nation’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has said emissions of greenhouse gases–released when fossil fuels are burned–must peak and begin to decline within ten years if the planet is to avoid the worst effects of global climate change. The American public finally seems to be waking up to this global threat, as evidenced by the popularity of recent films such as An Inconvenient Truth and Wall-E.
This exhibit–our 30th–is designed to to raise awareness of this critical issue. From apocalyptic images of a drowned planet to the promise of future energy sources, these 17 artists address this pressing issue with passion, humor and urgency."

"Queens International 4 (QI4), the fourth installment of this biennial, is a survey of new and on-going projects by 42 emerging and established artists, artist collaborations and artist collectives from 18 countries that now live and/or work within Queens. QI4 reflects the multiple influences, thematic breadth and broad range of traditional and experimental approaches employed by the vibrant and growing artist communities in Queens. By developing their own artistic perspective from a position on the art world periphery rather than at its center of influence, the QI4 artists explore the contradictions of the mainstream art world and the real world."

"Ephemerality is an experimental gallery exhibition that explores ways in which art, communication, and technology can be used to create a greater sense of connection and meaning within reclaimed wild spaces, natural time, weather, and seasons. In this exhibition, artists will present works that directly reflect the impact that 24 hours on the land of the Schuylkill Center can have on their own awareness, creative process, and use of visual material.
Six artists and one artist team were selected to create temporary artworks with natural materials on the grounds of the Schuylkill Center, with the guidelines that the artworks created must last no more than 24 hours. The installations, sculptures, interventions, or events created were documented by the artists using photography, video, sound, and text. These documentations of the outdoor ephemeral artwork will comprise the gallery exhibition."
