Hi

I was blocked b/c of my username and keep trying to rename my account but my requests keep getting denied. Is this because the names are already in use? (Pkgediting (talk) 17:09, 8 February 2012 (UTC)) ...and welcome to Wikipedia. I guessing you might be connected to Paul Kasmin Gallery. If so, it's probably worth you having a read through Wikipedia:Conflict of interest and Wikipedia:Copy-paste just to be on the safe side. I don't want to discourage you from contributing, Wikipedia needs help with many articles about artists, but contributions are unlikely to survive if they are seen as promoting the interests of a gallery or if material is copied from the gallery's site. Sean.hoyland - talk 19:03, 19 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Sean. Thank you for letting me know; I appreciate it! Would you mind telling me a little bit about what might be infringing on Wiki's policies? In particular we just finished editing the William Copley page, so maybe that's the issue? Thank you again. Pkgediting (talk) 16:38, 21 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
What caught my eye was the Iván Navarro (artist) article. Some of the material appears to have been copied and pasted from here and here both of which are presumably covered by copyright. The material would need to be rewritten. Wikipedia:Close_paraphrasing#How_to_write_acceptable_content may help. Conflict of interest issues would only arise if you were making edits to promote the gallery and you aren't doing that. For example, editors connected to a gallery, a company, an organization etc sometimes just add their site to the external links section for many articles. A series of edits like that tend to be treated as promotional (see Wikipedia:Spam) and are often reverted. Adding actual content like "X is represented by Paul Kasmin Gallery" citing the gallery's site as a reference is fine. Sean.hoyland - talk 17:27, 21 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, thank you for letting us know. The issue will be taken care of very soon. Pkgediting (talk) 18:36, 21 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]


James Nares

James Nares
Born1953
London, England
NationalityEnglish
Known forPainting, Sculpture, Film, Photography, Music
MovementNo Wave, Action painting

James Nares (born 1953) is an English-born painter, musician, performer, and filmmaker who currently lives and works in New York City.

Nares participated in the No Wave punk music movement in New York City during the 70s and 80s as a guitarist in The Contortions.[1] He moved from London to New York City in 1974

Film work

Nares began working with film by making short Super 8 mm movies loosely based off of his life and the lives of his friends, namely Eric Mitchell.[2] Nares's first feature-length film, "Rome '78" was featured in a retrospective at Anthology Film Archives in New York in May 2008. The film, which starred Lydia Lunch, Eric Mitchell, and David McDermott III dressed in period costumes and clanking armor for seventy-five minutes, was reviewed by film critic Amy Taubin as resembling "garish pink soup."[3]

Nares was also a co-founder and collaborator of the New Cinema on St. Mark's Place in the East Village.[4]

Nares's surviving film work focuses on movement and relation of the body to machinery and tools.[5] His collection of film work from the 70s that still survives today involves a series of moving pendulum footage. The films were converted to 16 mm formats compiled into a show called "1976: Films and Other Works" at Paul Kasmin Gallery.

Art work

Nares decided to take on painting in 1982 and joined the Action painting movement.[6] He developed his own paintbrushes and created a method of suspending himself in the air to paint horizontally. In an interview with Interview Magazine, he described his paintings as "anti-gravity, like they have sort of been blown onto the canvas."[7]

Page title/Les Lalanne

Les Lalanne

Les Lalanne are an artist duo composed of married couple François-Xavier Lalanne (1927-2008) and Claude Lalanne (b. 1924).

Francois-Xavier Lalanne was born in Agen, France, and was raised on a Jesuit education. At age 18, he moved to Paris and studied sculpture, drawing and painting at Académie Julian.[1] Francois-Xavier rented a studio in Montparnasse, next door to friend Constantin Brancusi, after completing mandatory military service. Brancusi introduced Lalanne to artists such as Max Ernst, Man Ray, Marcel Duchamp, and Jean Tinguely.[2] He met Claude Lalanne at his first gallery show in 1952.[3] The show signified an end of painting for Francois-Xavier as he and Claude began their career in sculpting together.

Claude Lalanne (b. 1924) was born in Paris and studied architecture at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts and at the Ecole des Arts Décoratifs.[4] She involved herself in the artist community in Impasse Ronsin, Montparnasse, Paris and became friends with American artists Larry Rivers and Jimmy Metcalf who helped her develop the art of electro-plating.[5]

Artworks and exhibitions

Les Lalanne were known to co-create on projects rather than collaborate. While Francois-Xavier favored sculpting animal themes, Claude preferred vegetation.[6] The themes explored by the two collectively went against the current trend of Abstract art in the 1960s. The couple believed and Francois-Xavier claimed, "the supreme art is the art of living."[7] The couple began attracting public attention in Paris during the 1960s when Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Bergé commissioned them.[8] In particular, Francois-Xavier's realistic bronze cast sheep covered in skin alongside lily vanes cast by Claude were displayed in the library of Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Bergé.[9] Their first exhibition together included Francois-Xavier's famous rhinoceros desk, Rhinocrétaire, and Claude's cabbage with chicken legs sculpture. Similar themes by Les Lalanne have classified their works as an ode to Surrealism and Art Nouveau.[10]

In recent years, the works of Les Lalanne have been exhibited in different venues in New York City. In particular, the artist duo in 2009 participated in Park Avenue Recession Art, an effort developed by the Paul Kasmin Gallery, the New York City Parks Department’s public-art division and the Fund for Park Avenue Sculpture Committee [11]. The project involved a series of sculptures in between crosswalks on Park Avenue. The pieces featured included a bronze apple called "Pomme de New York" on 52nd Street, "Moutons" on 53rd Street, "Choupatte (Très Grand)" on 56th Street, and "Singe Avisé (Très Grand)" on 58th Street, which was Francois-Xavier's last sculpture. [12]

Les Lalanne are currently represented by Paul Kasmin Gallery. Their most recent exhibition with the gallery ran from November 2010 to May 2011 at the Fairchild Tropical Botanical Garden. Animal sculptures created by Les Lalanne were also featured at Les Arts Décoratifs in 2010[13] .

Hello Pkgediting. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Nancy Rubins, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about following the reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:

  • Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
  • Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
  • Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
  • Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. Theroadislong (talk) 22:19, 4 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello- is it possible you might be able to explain which aspect of the article is a problem? I would be happy to remove any information that indicates a conflict of interest.
Removing all mentions of your own gallery "Paul Kasmin Gallery" would be an admirable start then we could be sure you were not just trying to self promote.Theroadislong (talk) 22:45, 4 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I have removed the list of Rubins's exhibitions, where Paul Kasmin Gallery was mentioned. I do not believe that listing galleries where Rubins has shown is manipulative; regardless, I have removed the entire section. Is there anything else that needs to be fixed?

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added to the page Makoto Saito (designer) do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used as a platform for advertising or promotion, and doing so is contrary to the goals of this project. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Theroadislong (talk) 12:11, 22 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

We gave you a chance

As soon as you were unblocked, you went back to adding spamlinks to Paul Kasmin Gallery. Since you don't seem to be willing to contribute in a non-promotional manner to this project, it becomes necessary to block you to prevent further spamming.

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for spamming or advertising. From your contributions, this seems to be your only purpose. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

The problem is that whichever member of the team it is, they are still making edits on pages with which they have a clear conflict of interest, if its your job to edit wikipedia about a subject then there is obviously a bias. We want editors whose reason for being here is to improve Wikipedia, not further their own aims, and that does not appear to be the case with this account--Jac16888 Talk 19:08, 9 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I understand. The people previously under this account volunteer at the gallery but edit the pages of represented artists as a way of improving and providing extra information on them. People who are editing under this account are not just adding external links to the gallery (and have now been informed that that's not allowed) but are adding additional information about the artists from newspaper articles, magazine interviews, etc. I would sincerely like to continue adding information about the artists and completely understand and agree not to add an external link to the gallery as it is against Wikipedia's rules.
