INCANDESCENT

June 16 - August 15, 2008

Joergen Geerds, Richard Roth and Carol Salmanson

All three of these artists deal with architecture and its relationship to anthropomorphism. Buildings may not look like human beings, but they mimic our consciousness in that they project light from within, or have some innate sensory rapport with the immediate natural environment.

PROCESS_exhibition in progress

June 12 - June 14, 2008

M.P Landis, Thom Lussier, Justin Romeo, Michael Sanzone

‘PROCESS_exhibition in progress’ is the first installment in a series of experimental exhibitions focusing on contemporary artists whose work is deeply affected by the craft and technique of their artistic process; moreover, how this work is becoming increasingly relevant in the plasticized and often detached world of contemporary art. The exhibition is curated by Kathryn Miriam.

Thruth or Consequences

May 15 - June 7, 2008

Marcy Brafman

Marcy Brafman’s paintings deal with the dark and light of the cultural landscape and the nature of character. They reflect on the demons and deities of the memory as seen on our devices, online, on television, billboards, boxtops, catechisms, illustrated classic comic books, masterpieces in the Frick, old paperback covers, graffiti and signage on moving vehicles and packaging detritus of every shape and kind. Concern with brand identity as a genuine spiritual state plays a strong role in the work, an examination of painting as a mirror to internal and external states, individual and social intentions. Each painting represents a logo poem, a distillation of an array of ideas into a simple painted statement. Each one plays a character in a private cast alphabet.

David Askevold and Peter Hutchinson

March 27 - April 26, 2008

We are pleased to announce an exhibition featuring two pioneer conceptual artists, David Askevold and Peter Hutchinson, who have established the connections between language, the found photographic moment; and an interaction with nature and the intricacies of the mind between actual and intellectual experience. Though Hutchinson has an ecologic sensibility and Askevold a metaphysical one, both of their oeuvres has added something distinct, useful, and inspired to the practice of Conceptualism.

TRUE TO FORM

January 18th - February 10, 2008

Marcy Brafman, Jenny Carpenter, Mary Murphy

The exhibition is curated by David Gibson.

Modern Heroines

November 14 - November 23, 2007

Claudia van der Klooster

“I get to the bottom of things, waste myself, give everything, I live, love with my whole heart. This is the story of the modern heroines. The portrait of women who are great and wonderful, exciting and strong, sensitive and open minded. Full of love, filled with passion, ready to live, committed to life. Full of emotions, vulnerable, sensitive, suffering and burning, full of fire and emotions. Women who don’t care about wasting time themselves but who don’t want to waste lifetime. Women who give everything, who gave up a lot to be loved, who gave up a life to live their life. Girls, women, heroines, bitches, mothers, lovers, sweethearts and fucking witches. Women like you and me. A little autobiography.”
