William S. Stone "The Rough Stuff"
The Proposition
This event has ended.
The gallery's inaugural show, The Rough Stuff, features veteran New York artist William S. Stone (in co-operation with James Fuentes LLC) and includes a section of the film Out of Our Minds (Tony Stone, Melissa Auf der Maur, 2009) conceived and shot at the Stones’ country residence documenting the felling of majestic pine trees as a “19th century period piece” on their property. Subsequently, these very trees become the material for the whimsical collection of the artist’s “functional” and “non-functional” art objects, which will comprise the objects of our first exhibition.
William Stone has been featured in solo exhibitions at James Fuentes LLC, Tom Cugliani Gallery, Emily Harvey Gallery and The Clock Tower/P.S. 1 Center for Contemporary Art, in addition to group exhibitions at The New Museum, Deste Foundation for the Arts, The Aldrich Museum and most recently; Socrates Sculpture Park and Engholm Engelhorn Galerie. Stone is represented by James Fuentes LLC, New York. James Fuentes was the curator for The United States of America vs. Alfredo Martinez at The Proposition in 2003, as well as Survival of the Shittest, featuring work by Brian DeGraw and David Perry at The Proposition in 2004.
