RH Gallery is pleased to present ON AIR, on view through June 22nd. Arias’ text-based work explores the slippage of meanings in the aesthetic and literary reading of texts. The title of the exhibition, ON AIR, refers to live broadcasting relating to the dialog initiated by Arias’ work while also relating to the breath of air necessary for speech. The work explores the materiality of text as well as its poetic, visual and phonetic meanings within the context of dialogue and colloquial communication.

The group show, Text in Process, includes Stephen Andrews, Joanne K. Cheung, Anne-Lise Coste, León Ferrari, Joe Hardesty, Robert Kinmont, Stephanie Lempert, Micah Lexier, Ken Nicol and Qui Zhijie.

This exhibition aims to explore text-based art practices which employ language to visually consider the process of conceptualizing ideas while also presenting a pictorial investigation of language itself. An important aspect of this exhibition is the space in which text becomes image.

Ugly Duckling Presse features 2 special-edition letterpress broadsides: a letterpress rebus poster from Gabriel Pomerand's seminal Lettrist publication Saint Ghetto des Prêts and a broadside derived from Austrian poet Ernst Herbeck's upcoming chapbook. The exhibition also features books, broadsides, and ephemera spanning the 10-year history of the Brooklyn-based nonprofit publishing house.

RH Gallery is pleased to present The Third Meaning II featuring artists Soledad Arias, Paul Edmunds, Wolfgang Ellenrieder, Daniel Escobar, Shao Fan, Fredrik Färg, Parastou Forouhar, Atsushi Fukui, Micah Ganske, Dante Horoiwa, Hideaki Kawashima, Ken Nicol, John O'Reilly, Young Sook Park, Kirstine Roepstorff, Katrina Vonnegut and Yi Zhou.

The works contain a third order of meaning, beyond the obvious and the symbolic. The term "The third meaning" is a representation without a direct, material source - a "signifier without a signified."

RH Gallery is pleased to host a launch party for Ugly Duckling Presse on June 7th from 6-8pm.

The party will feature readings by Gary Sullivan, Catherine Taylor and Sandra Liu. Sullivan is the translator of Ernst Herbeck's book Everyone Has a Mouth, the first English-language collection of Herbeck’s work published in America; Taylor authored the recently released Apart, which grew out of memories of visiting her family in South Africa and her curiosity about her (white) mother’s involvement in early anti-apartheid women’s groups. Liu's first chapbook On Poems On will be released this summer.

The opening reception for The Third Meaning II will feature a performance program with Tamar Ettun, Jaeeun Lee and Netta Yerushalmy.

Ettun will present What We Have In Our Pockets, a participatory performance and reading revolving around a story by Etgar Keret. Lee will present The Raker and the Cactus, inspired by George Bataille’s essay The Labyrinth. Yerushalmy presents Self Portrait – Sketch #3 in which the artist creates a self-portrait in movement inspired by the raw and innocent expression of the artist as a child.

In 2013, artist Wolfgang Ellenrieder will be the subject of 3 museum exhibitions. In April, Städtische Galerie Wolfsburg and Galerie der HBK Braunschweig will mount solo exhibitions. The Museum Van Bommel van Dam in Venlo, Netherlands will present his work in September 2013.

Brazilian artist Daniel Escobar was featured in the exhibition Beyond the Library along with 10 other artists at SP-Arte, located in São Paulo, Brazil.

The setup was part of a Publishing Section at the fair which "functioned as an introduction to the universe of the artists' books."

ON AIR and Text in Process were featured on WNYC as "Must-See Arts in the City."

Carolina Miranda writes "This roomy Tribeca space is putting on a pair of texty new exhibits. In one gallery, Argentine artist Soledad Arias explores the mechanics of sound and words — including a neon piece that serves as a visual representation of John Cage’s infamous ambient sound piece 4’33”. In the other gallery, a group show pulls together text-based works by a group of diverse artists, including the wordy doodles of Leon Ferrari."
