NYAB Event - "This Much Is True" Exhibition

"This Much Is True" Exhibition

SUGAR

This event has ended.

This Much Is True emerged as a title for this exhibition when approaching SUGAR's one year anniversary. It was confirmed after the participating artists were realized, and discovering, once again, that the (co)existence of improbable possibilities is a real and necessary idea.

Eliza Swann
Most recently I have explored bodily experiments that ritualistically investigate movement and gesture through video taped performances that challenge the physical limitations of the body and mind with the aim of overcoming them, causing objective physical change in the manner of miracles.

“Hershel and Clair” 2010, plaster, insulation foam, plastic bags, reflective tape, silicone, steel wire
Misplaced desires that lead people to do strange and bizarre things became the catalyst for this project. These bodies and heads are a sex orgy gone completely wrong, and what it might look like the morning after the event. Principles of gravity have no relevance in this confusion- the carnalities are airborne. Strange props, like a reflective tape football mask, adorn a metallic bust dripping with orange-coated lips. The artist originally intended to make a portrait of the football star Hershel Walker, but the resulting piece is far from the all American southern boy image she used to create it.

Luisa Kazanas
This specific piece's function is self evident. It uses the honed down directness of bumper stickers to attempt to address crisis in complex ideological and psychological concerns. The material was sourced from 70's west coast spriritual chap and pocket books.

Wendaferd Gregory
As an artist who favors to work/create through installation art I wanted to participate in SUGAR’s one-year anniversary exhibit under the pseudonym Wendaferd Gregory (Wendaferd is a childhood nickname used on rare occasions, and Gregory is my husbands last name). This allowed me the detachment from the pigeonholes that my birth name Gwendolyn Skaggs has taken on in the last few years such as “gallery director”, and “curator”, and partake in an exhibition as an artist.
