Good Citizen Gallery: Friday, 20 January 2012
Good Citizen invites you to The Indeterminate Length, an installation and billboard by Mike Calway-Fagen
Opening Reception Friday, January 20, 6 - 10 PM
January 20 - February 25, 2012
Closing Reception and Catalog Release
Saturday February 25, 6 - 10 PM
featuring essays by Rujeko Hockley, Ivy Cooper, and Itza Vilaboy
For The Indeterminate Length, Mike Calway-Fagen will incorporate sculptural installation techniques and photography to explore the nature of time experienced and actual: the incomprehensible indefiniteness of change. Discarded bits of furniture, chairs, tables, shelves, stools, bricks, rocks, and other provocative objects, pulled from alleys and lots around St. Louis will be stacked and arranged atop a similarly collected carpeting. The construction will form a shifting scaffold that is frozen in time. The edifice of objects will undergo several reorganizations during the course of the exhibition. With each subsequent arrangement an impression will be left in the carpet, accumulating an index of the prints left behind. Further exploring the sense of time, Calway-Fagen has designed the show cards for the exhibition as a small work of art. Visitors are encouraged to take away the card and see it as something fleeting but specific, freezing a moment in time but maintaining a sense of preciousness. More of Mike Calway-Fagen's work can be seen at mikecalway-fagen.com
Gallery Hours Fri., Sat. Noon - 5 PM and by appointment.
