[Nettime-bold] FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE : MARCH EXHIBITIONS


FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE   :  MARCH  EXHIBITIONS EXHIBITONS

Main Gallery:  RALPH GILBERT  (drawings and  paintings)
                     THE DREAM LIFE OF BABIES
Atlanta, Georgia artist Ralph Gilbert’s paintings explore the interior life of his infant daughter, Leah.  Gilbert uses the tools of his own memory and invention to investigate Leah’s sleeping and dreaming.  Melding the intimate observations of his child, with direct and oblique references to historical paintings, Gilbert includes his daughter, and by extension himself, in the great flow of all human history.

Gallery A:   STACZA S. LIPINSKI   (Mixed Media)
                  BATEAU, CONE, FLAPPER, AND OTHER SHAPES
Stacza Lipinski reads Martha Stewart Living.  She watches Trading Spaces and This Old House.  The Chicago artist shops at  JoAnn Fabrics  and  Home Depot.  Using materials both quotidian and banal, Lipinski transforms, edits, re-presents and repeats the shapes culled from her clichéd sources until they become something uncontrollable, weird, excessive, and absurd, and most of all, pretty.

Gallery B:    ASHLEY TOWNE   (Drawing / Installation)
                   SUPERLESS
Ashley Towne is a production staff member of Astrophysical Journal.  There, Towne’s job is to arrange hundreds of small, graphic, flat images of the universe.  At Artemisia Gallery, Towne’s small works on paper are displayed grouped together in constellation form.  Towne imagines the drawings as tiny and controlled, schematic and patterned, abstract, pale and empty; a day-to-day, humble little universe.

Gallery C:   BARBARA FITZPATRICK (Paintings and Drawings)
                 PAINTINGS AND DRAWINGS
Architect and artist Barbara Fitzpatrick paints the energy of light as it composes and reveals the forms around her. The Chicago resident uses color as a tool for making space. Fitzpatrick’s paintings record the objects and occupants of her life.

Gallery D:   BRIAN COLLIER   (Installation)
                  EARTH AND WATER
Illinois Artist Brian Collier asks how science and art relate to one another, either as competing or as complimentary ways to interpret nature.  Collier answers his own question by combining quasi-scientific techniques of collection, analysis and categorization.   The product, this installation of materials and objects, is perhaps a feast, or a balanced meal of conceptual and material concerns.
