[Nettime-bold] FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE : MARCH EXHIBITIONS |
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.
