Doing EasyOpening Reception: Saturday, September 10th, 7-10pm
September 10th – October 15th, 2011
On the evening of Saturday, September 10th, Los Caminos will kick off the fall exhibition season with Doing Easy, a group exhibition featuring the work of Glen Fogel, Dani Kantrowitz, Gregg Louis, Mike Schuh, and Matthew Strauss. In the exhibition, curator Cole Root examines each artist’s work in relationship to The Discipline of DE, a short story by renowned St. Louis poet William S. Burroughs. The Discipline of DE originally featured in Burroughs’ 1973 publication Exterminator!, which explains:
"DE is a way of doing. It is a way of doing everything you do. DE simply means doing whatever you do in the easiest most relaxed way you can manage which is also the quickest and most efficient way, as you will find as you advance in DE.”
The philosophy of “doing easy” is not simply a minimal approach to art making, but requires calculated, precise execution. Throughout the exhibition the artists restructure time and effort according to their own systems of logic, revealing their artistic philosophies with each gesture and action.
