Andrea Zemel: Pathos, Hubris & Zoë:
A twenty year retrospective including
her current body of work Beehive Brain
NEW YORK March 23 – To launch its Tenth Anniversary Year in New York in its expansive, newly relocated gallery at 212 East 57 Street, ILIAD (www.iliadantik.com) will present a special exhibition of artist/owner ANDREA ZEMEL’S work in a Twenty Year Retrospective entitled Pathos, Hubris & Zoë, from May 7 to June 30.
Artist, designer, and co-founder of ILIAD, Andrea Zemel is a Wash D.C. native who has exhibited paintings, works on paper and sculpture in galleries and public institutions throughout the United States and Eastern Europe since the 1990s. Her edgy imagery and psychological narratives push at the boundaries between contemporary and historical myth making. As sculptor and furniture designer for her own spin-off company Iliad Design, she creates high end one of a kind furnishings for many of New York’s top interior designers and architects in her own atelier in Prague, CZ.
Zemel says “This show will present my current body of work in ceramic and glass which includes the series Beehive Brain and Writing on the Wall, the culmination of many years of work delving into the vocabulary of the human unconscious. The images, glyphs, triptychs and hexads of Beehive Brain draw upon narrative elements from ancient cultural and literary sources while Writing on the Wall looks to the written tradition of oracular prophecy in the language of the epics”.
Say’s ILIAD’s co-owner Adam Brown, “The work is in a category of its own. Like Andrea’s earlier material, it encompasses the idiom of depth psychology but digs deeper - amalgamating Hermetic, alchemical, and mythic imagery into a unique and holistic visual language. Like the Mysteries, the work is multifaceted and multi-layered; one can be captivated by the surface or go as deep down the rabbit hole as one would like to go. Highly intelligent and elegant, it presents like a well-articulated theorem. It is entirely contemporary yet richly archaic - but it departs from post-modernism in that it embraces the concept of art. In short, a visual expose of the perennial philosophy.
Zemel says her latest work is an expression of her infatuation with mosaic, using materials and techniques evocative of the ancient world while her imagery remains profoundly relevant for our times. The process evolved from her collaborative work making public art at the University of Pennsylvania in the late 90’s and has become the focus of her studio efforts to date.
Like her earlier works on paper, the new series employs text and visual narrative with an intense interest in what Zemel calls ‘contemporary mythologies’. “The work is richly textured and timeless in feel. It is rooted in the present, but looks to the remote past and to the archetypal in an effort to bring to light our eclipsed, “chthonic” origins that continue to shape human experience. Consistent with my earlier work, these pieces continue to blur the boundaries between sculpture, painting and literature. Like illuminated manuscripts, they are at once symbolic and decorative with a great concern for craft as a vehicle for content.”
Pathos, Hubris, & Zoë re-examines the notion of civilization, discontent, and self-realization through both an analytic and poetic lens, and draws from a catalogue of twenty years of Zemel’s work. Many of her earlier narratives employ what Brown has coined the “Promethean dialectic”, where the development and emergence of our contemporary society is profoundly marked by a perpetual cycle of noble attempts requited by unanticipated outcomes. Included in the show are pieces from her irony laden series of block prints done in the mid 90’s, Myth of Progress, which harps on the notion of American manifest destiny in an increasingly rapacious and disposable world. Also included from the same period is an installation of 16 hand-colored etchings from her edgy and burlesque Ask Twenty Questions folio.
Zemel’s current work achieves a harmonious balance in Beehive Brain by reaching for transcendent truths rooted deep within the frustration of the human condition. Key to her inspiration and included in the title of her show is Zoë, a Greek term for life used to designate the unbounded, uncontainable, and overflowing nature of the life force. The capacity to overcome cyclic nature through metamorphosis is part of the Greek religious ideal encapsulated in Zoë, and the term was integral to Greek philosophic and religious thought from Dionysian cult, to Platonic notions of transmigration of the soul, to the Gnostic movements of the inter-testamental period. In the iconography of the Bronze Age Mediterranean world, the symbol for Zoë was the bee. In Zoë, the Greek idea of eternity comes closest to a Buddhist ontology of mind.
The Zemel works on view include...
Andrea Zemel received her BFA from the University of Pennsylvania in conjunction with the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts and her MFA in 1991 at Penn’s Graduate School of Fine Arts, studying painting under Neil Welliver and printmaking with Hitoshi Nakazato. Welliver’s realist formalism and Nakazato’s minimal conceptualism both had an impact on her thinking. She later spent three years on the faculty at Penn, having launched a collaborative and public art program that continues to this day. A deep interest in psychoanalysis and hermeneutics informs her work, which contains both narrative and conceptual elements. Regardless of medium, Zemel’s work maintains a concern for detail while giving authority to the physical material.
In 1999, Zemel left academia and moved to New York with her partner Adam Brown where they founded ILIAD ANTIK in the heart of Manhattan’s design district. In 2001, she launched ILIAD DESIGN and then, in 2004, she set up her current studio in Hoboken where she started work on her new ceramic and glass mosaic series.
Adam and Andrea have achieved an ambitious vision in ILIAD’s spectacular new space, “To present a tour de force in decorative and fine arts spanning more than 5000 years of the human experience. The connective thread….the freshness and exuberance of modernism.”
Andrea is particularly excited about the scale of the new space, which totals 5300 square feet, allowing ILIAD to reinvent itself with its monumental proportions while still retaining more intimate areas in the lower gallery. “Two levels offer us a new flexibility for our curatorial and artistic expression. My life as an artist and designer can be perfectly merged with my experience as an antique dealer. Adam can emerge as the inventive story-teller who weaves together objects and images from various cultures and traditions.”
The Tenth Anniversary Year in New York will include a series of themed shows at the new lLIAD gallery to showcase their period and contemporary designed furniture, as well as ancient and modern decorative and fine arts.

Honey Space is pleased to announce a public holiday party, and our biannual fundraiser. Appropriately coinciding with the current economic crisis, the exhibition will present works of art by more than 25 leading and emerging contemporary artists, priced in the range of $10- $999. Occurring in the heart of Chelsea's alternately booming and anxious commercial gallery climate, the exhibition champions the idea that exceptional art should not only be accessible to the luxury class, but rather, that it is also a humble and human mode of communication and exchange that should be available to all. We also always appreciate a good, swinging party.
To that end the holiday party will bring together all the classics: a raffle that includes wrapped presents and Christmas trees, portraits with Santa, a live steel drum reggae Christmas set, mashed-up seasonal music by DJ Ha Ha Ha, cookies and cider, and real live elves. There will also be a media table of independent music and literature, curated by Thomas Beale, director of Honey Space.

PAST LIFE
IN New York / Eclectic Collector / ART, ANTIQUES & STYLISH FINDS
by Alex Riviera
Late comedian George Burns once said, "I look to the future, because that's where I'm going to spend the rest of my life." Artist Andrea Zemel, however, prefers to study the past. A lover of mythology, the New York City-based painter/sculptor/furniture designer often finds inspiration in ancient cultural and literary sources. "Old myths are tales that we tell about ourselves, and there is much to be learned from the lessons that have come down to us through the ages," she says. Among her fable-influenced works is "Triad" (right, 2009, 18 in. x 55 in.), a glazed ceramic and glass triptych-on view at ILIAD-that depicts a constellation of characters from classical mythology, including Ariadne. According to the Greek tale, the daughter of King Minos uses a thread to lead her love out of a labyrinth; in "Triad," Zemel uses the thread as a metaphor for "our shared history and lineage," she notes. "It is that which relates a culture to its submerged and chaotic past." Other figures pictured are Kore, the queen of the underworld; the Bard, an archaic poet; and several members of a chorus, all encased in beehive-like, glazed ceramic and mosaic hexagons. "I like the way mosaics add texture and a timeless feel to a piece," states Zemel.?

Andrea Zemel: Pathos, Hubris & Zoë:

NEW YORK March 23 – To launch its Tenth Anniversary Year in New York in its expansive, newly relocated gallery at 212 East 57 Street, ILIAD (www.iliadantik.com) will present a special exhibition of artist/owner ANDREA ZEMEL’S work in a Twenty Year Retrospective entitled Pathos, Hubris & Zoë, from May 7 to June 30.
