White Flag Projects: Saturday, 17 January 2009

White Flag Projects is pleased to announce its next exhibition:

one loses one's classics

Recent paintings and sculpture by Michael Byron, Caetano De Almeida, Stef Driesen, Jacob Kassay, Jim Lee, Carrie Moyer, Jamisen Ogg, Matthew Rich, Anja Schwörer, Nancy Shaver, and Garth Weiser.

January 17 – February 15, 2009
Opening Reception Saturday, January 17 7-10PM
Closing Reception Sunday, February 15 12-2PM

The exhibition is centered on distinct and radical approaches to painting, particularly strategies that subvert traditional approaches to media, application, or substrate.

One Loses One's Classics examines how artists continue to find value in questions of what painting is, and how they each choose to make use of the medium's long and complex history. With techniques that range from exposing canvas to pollution to electroplating to traditional oil on canvas, One Loses One's Classics illuminates each artist's struggle to find something relevant for themselves within a constantly contracting set of possibilities for making an old medium feel newer, if not altogether new.
