LESLIE LASKEY: Tango
Opening Reception: Friday, September 11, from 6 to 9 pm
September 11 – October 24, 2009. A fully illustrated catalogue with an essay by Jim Harris accompanies the exhibition.
Project Room and Front Room: Legacy: The Work of Laskey’s Former Students
Media Room: Dickson Beall: FRAMES and MOVEMENTS: The Artist in Society: Who, What, Where, When and Why?
The eclectic artist is presenting a series of paintings and drawings inspired by the Argentinean dance. Tango has been a great inspiration for artists, whether they are musicians, filmmakers or visual artists. His fascination for Tango isn’t surprising, when one looks at his previous work. Leslie Laskey has already explored the subject in 2006. His series of flower digital prints evoked the sensuality of the dance with hot colors and powerful graphic gestures.
In the Media Room, video artist Dickson Beall presents a single-channel video titled “FRAMES AND MOVEMENTS: The Artist in Society: Who, What,Where, When and Why?” This 90 seconds video created in 2009 expands the search of who is an artist. Who is an artist? Through what frames does the artist see? How do place and visual marks in time shape movements? Why does the artist make art? From the artist in the cave to the artist in the concept, this video animation plays with those questions and draws out a history of art — in 90 seconds, more or less — about the time it takes to look at a single piece of art.
