Bruno David Gallery: Friday, 5 December 2008

DECEMBER 5, 2008 – JANUARY 10, 2009
Opening Reception: Friday, December 5, from 6 to 9 pm
Main Gallery I CARMON COLANGELO: Big Bang to Big Melt
Project Room I SANDRA MARCHEWA: Work
Front Room I KATHRYN NEALE: Recent Paintings
New Media Room I ELEANOR DUBINSKY: New Videos

On view in the Main Gallery from December 5, 2008 to January 10, 2009, the show will include recent prints combining surrealism with the exploration of art history, science and technology.This exhibition, titled “Big Bang to Big Melt,” explores ideas about the creation of the universe and man-made changes in the in the environment—from the Big Bang to the Big Melt. This paradoxical relationship expands on Colangelo’s investigation of the biological aspects of evolution and takes a closer look at the physical environment. His imagery presents a playful odyssey that references the meta-narratives of art history and natural history by juxtaposing utopian ideals of modernism with the contingent aesthetics of surrealism and conceptual art. His taxonomy ranges from primitive organisms to bears and rhinoceros to other more bizarre and ambiguous creatures. The animals function in or independently from architectonic forms and urban landscapes, producing a vivid, chimerical vision Colangelo’s works push the physical and haptic qualities of the print, using new methods and transformative materials such as wax and iridescent inks.

An enduring feature of Carmon Colangelo's work is the unraveling of free-floating symbols and texts in an aggressive exploitation of wet and dry media. His prints and paintings are marked by neo-primitives forms, which are then tempered by soothing veils of light. He challenges conventional readings, producing disorienting spatial topologies and striking visual poetics. His images may swing from the obsessively personal to the openly topical, allowing disparate formal structures and semiotics to inspire the production of remarkable forms that are somehow freed from the preceding visual context and grammar.

In the Project Room, Sandra Marchewa is presenting a series of new works titled “Work” that explore constant and dichotomous battle without the comfort of gray area. The space reveals a struggle between content and technique, good and bad, progress and destruction, love and hate, organic nature and synthetic process. Somewhere in between lies the ultimate answer, but the battle is a never-ending history, an exhausting, fruitless search. These flash-frozen conflicts provide a snapshot for further inspection in modern times. Marchewa creates her own world in which to escape, a time capsule or a fantasy existence with its own stories and experiences. The pieces will draw the viewer in to see a shifting contradiction in an almost living and breathing environment, and prove in a sense that water and oil do mix after all.

In the Front Room, Kathryn Neale is showing her recent paintings. Her current project endeavors to reinterpret the landscape of painting by combining formal abstraction with graphic aesthetics. The balance between control and spontaneity, as well as the formal and casual application of paint is something pervades her work. Ms. Neale’s recent work explores this basic framework through color and color fields to “trap” the gestural strokes, harnessing the amount of energy released upon the canvas. The palpable tension between painted organic forms and color contrasts with the cut vinyl, and drawing. She embeds her paintings with this technique to accentuate the transition towards a collage-type process. Her paintings then become reminiscent of modern computer design programs. She is abrupt, but thoughtful, trying to create an environment both hot and cold, making impulsive decisions in the heat of the moment, while being driven by an all-encompassing desire for structure.

In the New Media Room, multidisciplinary artist Eleanor Dubinsky premieres two single-channel videos titled "Save Coney Island" and "Slow Body." "Save Coney Island" features interviews with vendors, tour guides and cultural preservationists, footage sequences of locals and tourists passing time on the Coney Island boardwalk and vendors and visitors selling and buying rides and games. Currently, Coney Island is at a major crossroads: New York City and several real estate developers are bidding to rezone the existing amusement area to allow for the construction of new amusements, casinos, retail, and residential units. Many Individuals, local residents and cultural institutions are protesting the rezoning, claiming that it would destroy one of the most culturally, historically and artistically significant areas of the United States. Save Coney Island is inspired by this conflict, is a celebration of the people, and places that make Coney Island the wonderland it is today. "Slow Body" employs close-up, slowed down and processed footage of the artist's own body in a video-dance exploring sensuality, privacy and self-objectification. This piece is a further development of Fast Body, a video work Dubinsky exhibited at Bruno David Gallery in October 2007.

Open Lot: Friday, 14 November 2008

Friday November 14th, 7-10pm at Open Lot.

OPEN LOT presents new found and constructed video works by Adam Cruces. Cruces acts simultaneously as autor and mediator of a new, immersive and ritualized version of Batman: The Dark Knight: "In the process of subtly manipulating (i.e. repetition through looping, extracting from the mass) the content is transformed into a hybrid, of found object and unique original. The elements are distorted into overbearing dramatic music with abstract chanting and reconstructed dialogs with unidentifiable new characters interacting with the cast of the movie. The pieces are not only a re-contextualization of the movie, but an investigation of the movie's mediated, illegitimate offspring."

Cruces bought the raw materials for his short videos from a pirated movie vendor on Canal Street. The movie-pirateer shot Batman: The Dark Knight secretly, from the hip, capturing the audience moving around and answering cell phones. The final pirate version includes filming from at least four different theaters, dubbed in three languages, and subtitled in another
three (Cantonese, Spanish, and English). Cruces embraces the confusion created by the film's pirated mediation and finds order in a fragmenting process. As the silhouettes of the pirated video's audience members blend with the darkly costumed "goons" of the original film, Cruces' repeating snippets beg for our participation. It's impossible to not be taken into the chant of "Donde esta la Policia?", and when the sequence repeats, each piece seems to take on more qualities of a well-crafted noise performance than of a cut-copy YouTube video.

Craft Alliance in the Loop: Friday, 14 November 2008

Craft Alliance in the Loop invites you to a Free Public Opening Reception
This Friday, November 14, 6:00-8:00pm

Craft Alliance in the Delmar Loop is pleased to host a new glass exhibit by artist Jiyoung Lee: Segmentation, November 14 through December 28, 2008. Jiyong Lee's work is inspired by his fascination with cell division and life science. Lee states "The uniquely refined translucent glass surface suggests the mysterious qualities of cells and on a larger scale the cloudiness of our futures." He works with glass that has transparency and translucency, two qualities that perfectly represent the metaphorical clarity and mysteries of life. The Segmentation Series is quiet, yet powerful-Jiyong works with solid glass-cutting, lamination, carving, and surface refining processes-to make work that is both beautiful and deeply invested with meaning.

Fort Gondo: Friday, 14 November 2008

Friday Nov 14 6-9 pm opening reception

Raising Our Voices is a traveling, all-inclusive Mail Art Show sponsored by the St. Louis Chapter of the Women's Caucus for Art The artworks have been created by members of the WCA-STL as well as the CWCA, the Chicago Chapter of the Women's Caucus for Art. The exhibition's opening reception will take place at Fort Gondo Compound for the Arts on Friday, November 14th, 6-9pm. The exhibition will run until Saturday, November 29, and then will travel to Liz Long Gallery in Chicago Illinois.

Raising Our Voices will benefit the Differently Minded Art Studio at the Urban Art Retreat in Chicago. The Differently Minded Art Studio is founded on the principal of being an all-inclusive studio, where any person, regardless of ability can make art. One focus of the Differently Minded Art Studio is to decrease the stigma of having a mental illness. By working alongside someone with a mental illness, a person becomes more comfortable with the "other", and starts seeing him/her as just another unique person making art. For a person with a mental illness, it helps to be seen as an artist, not a "crazy person."

The exhibition will be open the last three Saturdays in November from 1-4pm or by appointment.

Opening at the St. Louis gallery with a reception for the artist
Friday, November 7 from 6 to 8 pm

The exhibition continues through December 13, 2008

Tim Liddy's paintings, trompe-l'oeil renditions of original game lids, explore the nostalgia of the past as well reference subtle connotation of current times. Each work is a replication of a found board game, painstakingly rendered to capture the essence of the original box lid and its demise overtime. From coffee stains to edges that were reinforced with tape, to phone numbers scribbled across the edge, Liddy has meticulously recreated these box lids, to the exact dimension of the original.

Opening reception, Friday, November 7th runs through Dec. 23rd

Nadler’s exhibition is an installation of three large sculptures and several smaller studies that continue his exploration of the built environment and utilitarian forms. Fabricated out of steel, these three faceted towering sculptures are suggestive of bridge supports and other ubiquitous forms that gird highway systems. These sculptures confront the viewer and assert themselves in the gallery by means of their dramatic scale and physical, visual weight.

Also showing at the Philip Slein Gallery are works on paper by selected artists including: Jamie Adams, Phyllis Bramson, Michael Byron, Cameron Fuller, Glenn Goldberg, Michael Krueger, Arthur Osver, Gary Panter, Tom Reed, Fred Stonehouse, Gary Tenenbaum and Ken Wood.
