Fort Gondo Compound for the Arts: Friday, 3 June 2011

Chris Smentkowski: Transcendental Voyeurism
Friday June 3, 6:00pm
(other hours by appointment 314-398-8862)

Oil Paintings: Most of the oil paintings are bizarre, fantastical, sometimes surrealistic, abstract landscapes and/or alternate imagined realities.

Ceramics: Primitive, phallic, mini mountains. Earthy spikes that are rolled into the earth behind the studio before firing.

Sound Installation: As in his previous art shows, sound installations have been an essential ingredient. Lve feedback guitar drone mimics much of his playing in Brain Transplant; however nobody will be playing the guitar, it will be set up to resonate against itself and the tone settings will be deep, dark, and mildly foreboding. The sound will be emitted through the floor of the studio space while blackened Tibetan prayer flags hover above in the ceiling.
