Bryan Walsh: Syntax Error
Closing Reception Saturday, December 1, 2012 6 - 8pm

Bryan Walsh, Co-Owner of Aisle 1 Gallery and organizer of The Screwed Arts Collective, works in geometric abstraction. For Syntax Error, he created new paintings on found metal including flat panels and three-dimensional objects. Here, he spins the exhibition title’s meaning to refer instead to interpersonal and intrapersonal communication, both verbal and non-verbal. His work explores the relationships and colors of shapes and forms which exist within the same space: communicating, reacting, complementing or contrasting.

Somewhere between deliberately and unintentionally, Walsh amassed a collection of panels (many shelves in their former lives), assorted containers and metal detritus. This collection of objects on which he painted is as much a part of his creative process as the act of painting itself. Given the current market value for some metals, he also finds that even being able to collect so many metal objects is significant. The value of the work – both as unadorned scrap and as a transformed collection of art examining communication – is also a component of Syntax Error.

Social Security, a group exhibition in collaboration with Cosign Projects, Los Caminos, Pig Slop, Proper Gallery and PSTL Gallery

November 30th, 2012 - February 1st, 2013

Opening Reception on November 30th from 7-10pm at a temporary exhibition space at 2644 Cherokee Street

Social Security is a constellation of 5 `gallery kits' individually curated by area alternative spaces that have shuttered or shifted form within the past year, including Cosign Projects, Los Caminos, Pig Slop, Proper Gallery and PSTL Gallery. The exhibition will explore the tenuous landscape artist-run and alternative spaces inhabit and offer a glimpse into how the arts community is evolving in the present moment. By literally creating "several spaces in a space," the show will present a condensed insight into each curator's point-of-view, as well as examining how they interact and shape the viewer's conception of one another. Exploring the idea of social safety nets and the impermanence often built in to artist-led and alternative arts projects, the exhibition presents individuals, collaboratives, and a community retiring to an uncertain concept.

Formally, Social Security will consist of discrete exhibitions curated by the individual galleries in a series of gallery kits all arranged in a single space: Los Caminos will present a solo show with Bruce Burton; Cosign Projects will display a series of flags produced by Lauren F. Adams as the director of Cosign -- a conceptual response to Cosign's premise, formally united with Cosign's other projects but also reflecting on what Cosign was, after the project was closed; PSTL has created a miniature gallery with a scaled survey of past artists' work; Pig Slop will present a self-reflection on the span of the space consisting of drawings, objects and collaborative elements; and Proper Gallery will present a window display of Raleigh Gardiner's work echoing their previous status as a window-only gallery.

Gallery Kit is a project of artist, writer and curator Daniel McGrath, and is best known in its primary incarnation as Isolation Room, a kit curated by founders McGrath and Dana Turkovic in their St. Louis apartment that has presented work from Marcel Dzama, Ann Hamilton and Buzz Spector, Pablo Helguerra, Joe Goode and Ed Ruscha, among many others. Building on an ongoing interest in containment, the constructed room allows for the smallest possible collaboration between the gallery space, curator, artist and audience.

Social Security is organized by curator James McAnally for The Luminary as a part of the ongoing series How to Build a World That Won't Fall Apart, exploring how artists and alternative arts organizations sustain themselves in times of social and economic instability.

Social Security will remain on view Wednesday, Friday and Saturday from 12-6PM and Thursdays from 11AM-6PM through February 1st, 2013.

Curated by Ruth Reese

December 1 through December 29, 2012

OPENING GALA Weekend Open House, Saturday and Sunday December 1 & 2, 11:00 am until 5:00 pm
 
 "Object," curated by Ruth Reese, does not include 2D work, but concentrates instead on art in
the round. Expect to find: ceramics, glass, textiles, fibers, metalwork, jewelry and woodworking. "Object" showcases eight artists creating sculptural and functional work of material importance,
emphasizing art as object, with an absolutely dimensional appeal. These objet d'art anticipate the holidays and the show fits well with the gift giving season.

Inherent to "Object" is the integrity of materials as acknowledged by the vision of the artists. "Object - Wasting Space Beautifully" features the following artists and their materials: JOSEPH & BRIDGET FARMER working in steel; MICHELLE HAMILTON working in kiln glass; SHERRI JAUDES working in silver, bronze, copper and cast iron; JEREMY LAMPE working in blown glass; RAY MORTON, working in wood; CARMELITA NUNEZ working in ceramics; RUTH REESE working in earthenware and porcelain; DON TRAN working in fibers and embroidery.

John Watson: I'm Not Here to Forget You
December 7, 2012 - January 9, 2013
Opening Reception: Friday, December 7, 6pm-8pm

John Watson’s new sculpture I'm Not Here to Forget You, 2012 combines the thoroughness of a cartographer with the curiosity of an archeologist. In I'm Not Here to Forget You, Watson buries his more recognizable reclaimed wood forms in a puddle of plaster, eventually carving it away to reveal elements of the miniature structure underneath. Watson’s most recent bodies of work clearly referenced architecture in its more traditional definition as a form in space, I'm Not Here to Forget You however embraces the formal elements of mass and substance using hunks of plaster to give the forms “a sense of place”, taking the work into more self-referential territory. Watson explains: “Like kudzu clinging to an Alabama pine tree, the work relies on the structure it occupies while it simultaneously exists as its own entity.” Its scale suggests a diorama for a prehistoric “cavate”, a term used by archeologists to distinguish a dwelling dug out by using natural recesses or openings. Watson excavates through a masonry technique and a process of play, intuition, and obsession to reveal just enough information to the viewer to ask what they can’t see rather than what they can. Playing with the opportunity to invent what might be under the areas enveloped by the white blob, Watson employs a subtle sculptural seduction technique creating a sense of desire in the viewer. Hours: By appointment only.

Daniel McGrath: Dark Star
January 18 - February 16, 2013
Opening Reception Friday, January 18  6-10 PM
  
Daniel McGrath's series of sculptures, drawings and large mural installation for the exhibition Dark Star are inspired by reportage on the riots in London, and other recent disturbances in Paris and around the world. In the UK, a neighborhood's peaceful protest demanding an inquiry into a police shooting swiftly devolved into an orgy of looting by roaming gangs of hooded youths. The 'hoodie' is now firmly entrenched in the popular imagination as a shadowy, ominous signifier of cultural disintegration and revolt.  As an icon of anarchistic street style and conservative 'bete noire' the 'hoodie' has become something more than comfy apparel.  It represents a seizing of anonymity and a self-exemption from identification.  The sculptures resemble Kouros statuary, one of the first heroic figurative traditions in the West. However McGrath's subjects, be they texting, uploading "Knock Down King" videos or in flash-mob expeditions--are anti-heroic. In essence, the work is about a broad historical shift in figuration, given the very anonymity of the hoodie, which resists socialization.

Bruno David Gallery: Friday, 30 November 2012

BLUE – WHITE – RED
Opening Reception: Friday, November 30th, 2012, from 5 to 9 pm
November 30, 2012 – January 19, 2013

The Bruno David Gallery is pleased to present a group exhibition, titled, Blue – White – Red, on view from November 30, 2012 to January 19, 2013. In the upcoming exhibition, the artists return to the very essence of the three colors and investigate how they interact with surrounding space. A wide range of media is explored, including painting, sculpture, and video. The limited palette provides a constant that amplifies the artists’ individual styles.
Throughout history, humans have placed varying significance on color. Colors evoke memories, dispel fears, stimulate the appetite, suggest worth. They scream for attention, converse amiably, whisper between cupped palms pressed against an ear. Across cultures, times, and specific situations, the meaning and purpose of color is constantly changing.

Blue, white, and red—in America, this trio is inescapably political. Yet, when broken apart, each color has individual connotations steeped in years of use. Blue – White – Red attempts to step away from these groupings entirely. The artists worked separately; it is not the exhibition’s aim to have unifying undertones, political or otherwise. Instead, viewers are encouraged to look at the artworks afresh and investigate how the altered surfaces reflect, absorb, and distribute light. A catalogue, BLUE – WHITE – RED, with a new text by Nicole Yen will be published on the occasion of the exhibition.

The exhibition includes works by Margaret Adams, Todd Anderson, Laura Beard, Dickson Beall, Lisa Blatt, Martin Brief, Bunny Burson, Carmon Colangelo, Alex Couwenberg, Jill Downen, Yvette Dubinsky, Eleanor Dubinsky, Beverly Fishman, Damon Freed, William Griffin, Joan Hall, Kim Humphries, Kelley Johnson, Chris Kahler, Leslie Laskey, Sandra Marchewa, Peter Marcus, Charles van McElwee, Genell Miller, William Morris, Patricia Olynyk, Gary Passanise, Robert Pettus, Judy Pfaff, Daniel Raedeke, Charles P.

Heather Patterson: Deconstruct
November 30 - December 29
Opening Reception Friday, November 30, 6-10 PM
 
Heather Patterson's work intuitively gathers imagery from both the natural and built environments.  She recreates geographic patterns and forms, layering them to invent new series of systemic landscapes.  Analyzing the biological and structural phenomena, she finds similarities between their elements.  For example:  The way a topographical map echoes wood grain, how gnarled tree branches are reminiscent of the intertwining veins in a human body, and how computer generated charts can resemble mutating microscopic cells.  Her work reveals an interest in how the imperfections and randomness of nature starkly contrast with calculated man-made environments.  Patterson layers a variety of imagery into her work through drawing and painting, using a variety of media to create multi-sensory experiences.  This interaction of the materials becomes an integral part of her process. She allows the contrasting substances to mix randomly in areas while manipulating other areas by carving, dripping, melting, taping, or spraying the surface.  This system of addition and reduction allows her to create imaginary substructures and magnify the unexpected.

UC Library Gallery: Friday, 7 December 2012

The December exhibit in  entitled “Next in Line” features digital illustration in the style of Al Hirschfeld by Matt Hirschfeld. A reception will be held on Friday, December 7, 2012, 5 - 8 pm.

Matt Hirschfeld has been receiving much attention and praise in the entertainment world for his numerous drawings of both Hollywood and Broadway personalities. Following in the footsteps of the late Al Hirschfeld, Matt reintroduces the classic Hirschfeld line for today's stars; however, rather than creating his artwork with a pen, Matt draws all his work freehand on the computer. This is something Al, himself, suggested might someday come to pass.

The work is on display December 3 - 30 and may be viewed during normal library hours, Monday – Friday, 9 am – 9 pm; Saturday, 9 am – 5 pm; and Sunday, 1 -5 pm.  The library will be closed December 25 and at noon December 24 & 31 for the holidays.

yellowbear: Saturday, 10 November 2012

Join us for our inaugural exhibition and open house in our new space, yellowbear. We are a fine art print studio that will host workshops, classes, open studio hours, exhibitions and other projects. We are located in the heart of the Kingshighway Hills neighborhood, here in St. Louis. where you going, where you been? is our inaugural exhibition and the idea came about through conversation about the past. We often see current work from artists but rarely see where the artist began. Through this exhibition we asked artists to self-curate a creative history determined by the selection of past and present works. We want to see the relationship between the old and the new. Are there similarities? Is the work vastly different? Has your medium changed/shifted? We think that one’s future is influenced by the past and we’re anxious to see what conversations happen as a result.

Participating artists include: Jessica Baran, Amy Bautz, Michael Behle, Greg Edmondson, Tate Foley, Cameron Fuller, Daniel McGrath, Sarah Paulsen and Brett Williams.

The opening is Saturday November 10, 2012 from 5-8pm. The exhibition runs through December 8, 2012. yellowbear is open by appointment only. We are located at 5201 Pernod Ave St. Louis, MO 63139.To make an appointment to see the exhibition call 314-210-9300 or email info@yellowbearprojects.com
