Duane Reed Gallery: Friday, 18 May 2012
Opening Friday, May 18th
Reception from 5:00 - 8:00 PM
Jenny Pohlman & Sabrina Knowles: "Reflections"
Duane Reed Gallery presents the latest work of Sabrina Pohlman and Jenny Knowles. Pohlman and Knowles began their collaboration in 1992. They use a variety of materials in their rich assemblages, including hot-sculpted glass, various metal works, found objects and beads achiveing a fine sense of formal balance. Three notable research field trips had a profound impact on their personal and artistic development: in 1997, they visited Zimbabwe and Botswana; returning to Africa they visited Ghana in 2000; and in 2002 they traveled to Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda and East Africa to get a wider experience of the entire continent. They gathered creative and emotional inspiration from these travels. These experiences are used to create sculptures that embody mythological stories in glass. Part of the narrative of the object is derived from the artists’ own travels and part by ancient cultures and magic of African life as witnessed by the two artists: “We have a point of origin and balance our elements within that framework. “
Also Opening May 18th
Matthew Paul Isaacson
Please join Duane Reed Gallery as we present the work of Matthew Isaacson. Isaacson will present a one-room installation of colored tile forms of unique patterns and complex constructions that have evolved from past explorations of material cast aside from building assignments.
The current pieces now include colored tile forms that are adhered with high strength epoxy resin. More complexity has been introduced than just the simple parabolic twist. The forms are beginning to open up, finding the voids or negative space to be an important component in the evolution of the work.
“A new and very special installation that has involved several years of contemplative planning consideration of Marcel Duchamp’s, piece Etant donnés: 1° la chute d’eau / 2° le gaz d’éclairage (Given: 1. The Waterfall /2. The Illuminating Gas), 1946-1966. This will be presented as a transition of Phase 4 into Phase 5 of A Grandiose Numerical Equation. I hope that you don’t miss this very special piece that will focus on the mystical shrouded veil of the paradox and the unexplainable phenomena that occurs as one peers deep into the wishing well.” ~Matthew Isaacson
These exhibitions run through Saturday, June 30, 2012
