Mad Art Gallery: Friday, 3 August 2007

FLIGHT RISK
Opening Reception Friday, August 3, 7 pm to 11 pm

Mad Art Gallery proudly presents Flight Risk works by LJ Lindhurst, Timothy Meehan, and Jennifer Weigel. This exhibit will be on view from August 3 to August 30 with a free opening reception on Friday, August 3, 2007, from 7:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. Cash bar available.

LJ Lindhurst's paintings, The Lock Series, explore the nuances of metal, reflection, sunlight, rust, peeling paint, and general decay in stark detail. The padlock itself is fetishized - its colorful stripes of reflection or mottled surface are painted in extraordinary detail.

Tim Meehan's landscapes are based on his experiences camping and spelunking in the caves of Missouri. "I always enjoyed the hidden world. My textures of the backgrounds are built from this memory. A snapshot of the ever changing living walls of caves."

Jennifer Weigel will be creating a one-night performance piece titled Sustenance in conjunction with the opening reception of Flight Risk. This piece is the second in a series of performance pieces exploring the nature of the art opening as an event.
