The Gabarron Foundation
Javier Riaño
May 19 - July 15, 2010
149 East 38th street
NY 10016, New York
The Gabarron Foundation – Carriage House Center for the Arts is pleased
to announce the exhibition of Spanish artist, Javier Riaño (Bilbao, 1959), whose works are shown from May 19 to July 15.
This series reflects the interests that the artist has developed in
recent years. Javier Riaño
emerged from the artistic context of the Basque Country during the
1980s, into a stream of artists who were then developing realistic
figurative work; this sometimes led to the hyper-touch, and made the
ruins of industrial architecture and the dark alleys of Bilbao the main
focus of his work. The emphasis on architecture, found in his first
series, soon became a recurring theme.

Museum of Modern Art (MOMA)
The Modern Myth: From Francisco de Goya to Matthew Barney
Through September 6, 2010
11 West 53 Street
New York, NY 10019
Representational visual artists have long looked to ancient mythologies
as a thematic repertoire, a tradition both preserved and evolved by
modern and contemporary artists who continue to address and reinterpret
mythological references in their works. This exhibition addresses the artistic traces of these motifs in modern
art, as well as the practice of modern myth-making, through a
nonlinear, thematic representation of works, following a rough
chronology from 1797 to 2008.
