  <Description><![CDATA[Limpert's figurative sculptures reflect the architectural structures of her native New York.
&quot;Steel allows me to create life-size open bodily forms while leaving space for the unseen aspects of the figure. Several pieces in the exhibition are manually operated by a hand-crank...Interestingly, the mechanical motion adds an element of humanity to the work.&quot;
 
She has been creating the animation for the holiday windows for Lord &amp; Taylor, Macy's and Saks Fifth Avenue for ten years. In 2006 and 2007, her sculptures were featured in the windows of Bergdorf Goodman.
 
Limpert has exhibited extensively here in New York and in Europe. She is a teaching Artist with the Rush Foundation.
 
Patrick Whalen began exhibiting in California, at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco and the Berkeley Art Museum, prior to moving to New York where he has shown at White Columns and Smack Mellon Studios among other venues. This is his third exhibition at ART 101.
           
His drawings examine both time and memory.
&quot;How memory can mash events together. How it can play tricks on you. How your perceptions can be off, but so sharp in remembering a tiny detail. I base my work on photos I take. I have hundreds of them and I work from those re-assembling my memories... (The installation) ... all came together to be a fiction, an image of something that very well could have happened.&quot;

  <Description><![CDATA[This is the first one-person exhibition of the artist’s work and will feature new prints and collages in which color, time, and subject fade into and feed off of one another.

Paul D’Agostino is an artist who translates, severs, layers, wipes out and remakes images. His semantic abilities and linguistic fluidity are matched by the variations in materials the artist uses to make work, work that is infused with an adrenaline, an intellectual rigor and a clarity that has made this artist an important one to watch. In this one-person show, the artist’s first, D’Agostino presents, along with new collage work, two recent sets of serialized monoprints in which image and repetition battle for recognition on a surface steadied by one’s ability to source a story and make sense in circumstance.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[We are Cinema is a month-long exhibit and screening series celebrating 50 years of the Film-Makers’ Co-op in NYC. The exhibit features paintings, drawings, prints, light boxes, and other artworks from the group’s earliest to most recent members. Additionally, rare early documents, posters, catalogues, archival materials and historical sound recordings will also be on exhibit. Events start on Saturday February 11, at 5PM – just prior to the official exhibition opening – with the first screening of restored, fresh-from-the-lab 16mm prints of rare short works by legendary filmmaker/artist Jack Smith (Respectable Creatures, Song for Rent, Hot Air Specialists, Overstimulated, Scotch Tape, and Yellow Sequence), all new editions to the Co-op’s distribution. Original founding director Jonas Mekas and current director MM Serra will introduce the works. The four-part screening series continues with unique programs by Ken Jacobs (2/18), Jonas Mekas (2/25), and a group show of recent editions to the Co-op’s collection (3/4). Seating is limited. Please RSVP to rsvp@microscopegallery.com.
 
It was in January of 1962 that filmmaker Jonas Mekas called an urgent meeting of about 20 avant-garde/independent filmmakers including Stan Vanderbeek, Rudy Burckhardt, Jack Smith, Ken Jacobs, and Gregory Markopoulos to discuss taking the means of exhibition and distribution into their own hands. Within months the Film-Makers’ Co-op was born. Under the stewardship of filmmaker MM Serra since 1991, the organization is now the oldest and largest artist-run cooperative in the world and membership continues to be open to anyone with a film or video work. The Film-Makers’ Co-op continues to operate as a vibrant archive and distributor, housing more than 5,000 films and videos by over 900 artists. It is now located at 475 Park Ave South in Manhattan.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[The Skewville twins have been making things since birth, from building club houses in the 70's, graffiti in the 80's, then on to commercial ventures in the 90's. In the past 13 years, they have been making innovations on the street and in art galleries with their stylized work and installations. Best known for their wooden sneaker mission &quot;When Dogs Fly&quot; which continues to evolve and has grown to many new cities and editions.

This past year they returned from their final european show in the UK at High Roller Society and did a coast to coast tour showing at Pawn Works in Chicago, Black Book in Colorado &amp; White Walls in San Francisco. They have also done a large scale mural for Brooklyn's North Side Festival as well as creating The Bushwick Art Park and making an outdoor prototype at the New Museum. The Bushwick neighborhood summer favorite for 2011 was when Skewville painted an entire building to look like boombox.
As the largest collectors of their own work, Skewville will showcase past favorites such as the original giant &quot;Hype&quot; signs from Wooster Collective's 11 Spring Street show in 2006, as well as the Skewville &quot;Lawnmower Stamper&quot; that prints out &quot; Keep on Grass&quot; and The Secret Laboratory Book Shelf Door from Basement AIr Show in 2005. Also featuring their wooden sneaker archives from 1999 to present as well as recent artworks from the past few years will also be available and on display.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Fabric cannot be disassociated from both its practicalities and its histories. It can be soft or course, rigid or supple, and its linkages to gender and status are unshakable. While the smallest fiber can evoke notions of femininity, touch itself is the first sense we gain in our mothers’ wombs. In “Suture,” Like the Spice presents seven artists whose work bears, and yet also exploits, the cultural norms associated with textiles and other craft materials.

Since the 1970’s the media of everyday objects have become more and more pervasive in fine art, but craft is still distinguished from sculpture and painting as art with a utilitarian purpose. For the artists in this show, both quotidian and concept can become query as they incorporate discourses of high versus low art? in acts of subversion and aesthetic playfulness.

Perhaps the artist in “Sutured” to use the methodology of fiber arts most frankly, Richard Saja’s embroidered human-animal hybrids, clowns, and fantastical beasts defy the strict delineations in the strata of art historical context. His brilliantly rendered characters upend the decorum of the centuries’ old prints of toile fabric, a textile common in drapery and upholstery. The monochromatic swooning farmers and ornate foliage in the toile are the templates for his sardonically humorous re-narrations.

Joseph Heidecker also offers interruptions of sentimentality by effacing, embossing, and sewing into vintage statuettes acquired at estate auctions and various flee markets .  His additions are less synthesis than synaesthetic as he threads beads and glues googly eyes and other items from your kindergarten’s craft drawer to his found objects.

Jude Broughan’s raw patchworks of original and re-photographed images sewn to fragments of leather and plastic are at the same time personal and disconcerting. The stitched juxtapositions represent past and present, but they are less narrative than the symbiosis of memory and experience that creates one’s sense of self and home.

Abstraction confronts formalism and a celebration of the decorative ensues in Robert Raphael’s sculptures of wood, ceramic, and satin ribbon. His stark wooden posts hint at minimalism and embracing architecture, while he adorns them with collapsed stacks of glazed ceramic geometric figures and the occasional dollop of thick paint.

With Vadis Turner, abstraction and tradition collide in wall-hung works comprised of satin affixed to square canvases. She assembles her delicate media in bit-by-bit renderings of smoke and mold that seem to test the idea of modern painting. Her materials are heavily laden with symbolism, but she is aware of its associations. Deep in these variegated folds of color is the history of the feminine, yet the works don’t betray their formal qualities as paintings.

Adam Parker Smith’s monumental collage comprised of thousands of  hand-woven friendship bracelets fashioned to spell out “will u marry me” is a tapestry of the tragic. What could be a sublime gesture reveals itself as an assumed moment, implied by Smith to elicit our involvement. What we are left with as viewers is the dare to leave our sentimentality at the door to view the meaning of the work change as it hangs on the gallery walls for three weeks.

Zoe Sheehan Saldana creates uncanny duplications of store-bought objects, photographs them, and then returns them to the same rack or shelf of the original item. In the gallery she offers a glimpse of her travails in a full-scale photograph hung next to the original item. The clash of machine and man-made means of production foregrounds craft as a high-art concept and unsettles contemporary notions of value and utility.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[For this series, Mircheva strays from technology and automation to present a series of diminutive, some quite simple, other slightly inscrutable dioramas from an ongoing collection of imaginary gallery-size installations. With their quiet and unassuming presence, the models lead both artist and viewer to imagine an infinity of possible scenarios, suspended between past, present and future. Possible Exhibitions showcases Mircheva’s signature sleek, highly-professionalized daydreaming at its most powerful. With this exhibition we will transform our gallery in a temporary zone open to imagination, projection and reflection.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[E.K. Buckley is a figurative painter working in Brookyln whose focus is bold, eerie nudes. Her works in oil, rely on stark gestures that produce poses ranging from balletic to violent. Buckley combines the heft of unrefined mark-making with elegance, creating forms with an extreme economy of illustrated description. Her subject matter is often drawn from her early training in music and literature, and her love of dance is clear in her uncanny ability to capture the body in movement. Buckley’s work in ink includes an austere series of crows; simple gestures that show her reliance on the raw mark, at times describing the bird in just a few stark and fast pen strokes. Her recent body of work includes large, distressed pieces on paper of women in mixed media. Buckley’s art could be described as Ale ́ Ale ́, a state of bursting inspiration and creativity. ]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Clements’ powerful use of Sumi ink and ballpoint pen on small to large-scale paper panels remains her primary medium and scale. She often cuts and pastes the paper together to edit and compose a completed drawing, adding paper as necessary to create the desired scale. Through her active process, which is almost performative, the paper becomes distressed with folds, wrinkles, and seams.

Through sight, sound and touch my work is always a response to environments, objects and people, but until fairly recently the responses have been largely limited to working within the confines of my living spaces in fairly solitary ways. (Clements, 2012)

In 2011 Clements spent seven winter weeks in Rome, and two summer months in an abbey in Maele, Belgium. In April she was invited by curator Melinda Ring to respond to the work of dancer Susan Rethorst for a retrospective of her work at Danspace. Over the course of that year she also worked on a large modular drawing as part of an ongoing collaboration with the sculptor Marc Leuthold. This drawing, ”Balcony and Table of Work,” and related works will be included this exhibition. “Balcony and Table of Work” is an amalgam of three years of work and began as two separate drawings that were eventually merged into one. Each day, working in Sumi ink, Clements made individual drawings on 10 x 8 inch pieces of paper. Each drawing describes a new section of the table still life. The final drawing is composed of 366 individual drawings, now merged into one. The original table will be presented together with this work.

My collaboration with sculptor Marc Leuthold has been in progress for the past three years. As friends and colleagues, Marc and I decided to collaborate on a project together. In order to work ‘together’ I made a series of drawings from which Marc made sculptures. He in turn made and gave me his sculpted responses, and I in turn made more drawings. And so on. Leuthold’s work is often non-representational but, in response to my drawings, he modeled clay sculptures in the forms of the images he viewed in my drawings. The result is a series of multi-generational works, a kind of visual dialogue. (Clements, 2012)

In Italy, Belgium, and in Ms. Rethorst’s apartment Clements responded, as she usually does, to her immediate environment. The difference is that these places weren’t hers. She was granted entry and permission to respond, but in these unfamiliar surroundings her drawing process was affected by a strangeness of place, an awareness of her identity as a “guest” and an understanding that her time in these places was limited.

I am always interested in representing time in my work, but in these projects time was a more actively pressing concern, bringing a new urgency to the process. Time, space, place, shifting points of view, travel, mapping…these are always present in my work but this year they have also been active in my life, making me more clearly understand that my studio is mobile.

But most of these thoughts come in reflections of the work after having made it. Clements rarely enters her work with big theoretical designs. Through labor, one process leads to the next and a small drawing may become many drawings, or one big drawing. “A walk across a table, over objects, and through space offers new perspectives. And, as importantly, the process of working with another person brings further perspectives through discussion, agreement, resistance and empathy.”

  <Description><![CDATA[These three artists, while creating very different work, all touch on the possibilities of communicating ideas in a space outside of language. The familiarity of signifiers -- form and gesture – is offered without the reliable connection of a signified or finite meaning. A viewer is confronted with evasive focus: unspoken directions, mute expressions, opaque progressions. The potential “unity of the thing” is proffered as a semblance of infinite suggestion.
 
Armed with a formalist’s vocabulary, an eye for the nuances of gesture, and a tendency towards dark, absurdist humor, Dana Bell has delved into cinema’s rich history and emerged with a complex study of physicalized language. While turning the aesthetic identity of her filmic source on its head, Bell’s reductive process transforms filmic narrative, creating a semiotic study that reveals the subtle manipulations and learned artifice within human expression, while breaking the connection between narrative arc and the nuances of gesture.
 
Alasdair Duncan makes “signs for the future”, stand-ins; not futurological predictions, rather they are emblems of the not yet imagined.  Duncan is interested in making art that reflects an expansive, confident and optimistic outlook, that the world as it is now can be made different and better. At a time when the future is represented substantially in terms of fears rather than opportunities, Duncan’s work manifests the hope of real affirmative social and material change through conditions of possibility which exist now, but which are beyond our view from the current state of affairs.
 
Don Voisine’s paintings impress with a complexity and meditative quality that belie their scale.  Space is defined by restrictions, controlled by borders, limited in access, via a very few well-chosen elements.  Voisine creates uncanny spatial depth and structure through color, texture, contrast, and light.  The layering and overlapping of black planes, both translucent and opaque, evoke both redaction and seduction without answer.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[In the exhibition “In-Habitat” each artist takes a unique perspective of the concept of habitat, and what it is to inhabit this world. 

Gregory Curry’s paintings relate his postulations of a post human environment inspired by and extrapolated from the various dynamic conditions now impacting on the human animal. The environments and entities that populate his paintings seem imbued with pure energy on a primordial level, set against a background of contrasting complimentary colors. Curry utilizes familiar modes of representation such as rendering, perspective and classic spatial relationships in a way that draws the viewers into these uncanny realms, relating our temporality within an environment of elemental particles and genetic materials. 

Lisa DiLillo creates nocturnal landscapes and still lives that engage luminosity as a visual correlation to nature's life force. The photographs depict a liminal state where subjects are transforming or are in the process of coming into being, reflecting on our evolving environment and on unusual climatic occurances. The intensity and incertitude of these photographs underscore the idea that the more we investigate nature the more mystifying and complex it becomes. 

Rooted simultaneously in science while evoking the fantastic, Julia Whitney Barnes creates works that reinterpret life and the natural environment. Her paintings explore the complex relationship and power struggles of humans with nature, and the contradictions in which our society gives life to and reveres nature while abusing and overlooking it. Her large scale oil painting depicting a tree house abstracted with layers transparencies and lush patches of color, transposes elements of the forest and individual trees with the interior panels of a the structure, relating her desire for a more balanced relationship with nature. 

Kim Holleman relates environmental issues of contamination of our natural resources, brought on by radioactive fallout, chemicals seeping into ground water, oil spills and the ephemera in our petro-chemical environment. She infers the impact of these elements and the increasing toll on our natural environment, presenting an installation of displays and scenes, colliding natural and artificial reality, both fantastical and frightening, into a curio collection gone awry. This faux-scientific archive shows us beautiful, sometimes-toxic parks, public spaces, visions of nostalgic environments and constructions straining towards natural growth, but spinning out of control, coated to saturation which threatens their very existence. ]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Often eclipsed by an artist’s large-scale or interactive creations, editions and works on paper indulge a more intimate sensibility. The archaic and protracted processes involved in printmaking and photography can inflict boundaries and challenges within the image-making process; however, these constraints ultimately produce the unique look, quality and mood of a print.
 
In addition to this exciting exhibition, the gallery will begin hosting a monthly Salon, which will showcase limited editions and works on paper by gallery artists. More information on this event will be provided after the opening of VOLUMES in February.
 
Artists Michel Demanche, Gerald Mocarsky, Chuck Kelton and Shelton Walsmith will all be exhibiting their photography. Sculptors Norman Mooney, Arthur Mednick and Kathy Goodell are better known for their three dimensional and interactive installations, though each of these artists will be exhibiting their photography, in some cases using their own sculptural works as the subject matter. VOLUMES will also feature linocuts, etchings, lithographs and screen prints by Carri Skoczek, Melissa Murray, Alexis Portilla, Nina Carelli and Lauren Dreier.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Combining a handmade aesthetic with a range of materials, the works in this show manipulate spatial perception and challenge the distinctions between sculpture, painting, photography, and video. Through their formal qualities, along with personal, cultural, and technological references, the works evoke questions about the physicality of the art object. Facture includes work by Hector Arce-Espasas, Jeremy Couillard, Amy Feldman, Elana Herzog, Gisela Insuaste, Jessica Labatte, LoVid, Heather Rasmussen, and Jamil Yamani.  

In Jessica Labatte’s photography, everyday objects are juxtaposed to create abstracted tableaux of vivid colors and geometric shapes. 
Heather Rasmussen reconstructs scenes of shipping container accidents from pieces of brightly colored paper on seamless background paper. In the resulting photographs, the objects retain the fragility of their constructions. Familiar objects are decontextualized and abstracted.  
Using frayed pieces of fabric and wooden and metal supports, Elana Herzog’s labor-intensive work transforms architectural space while reinterpreting the structures of painting, sculpture, and installation. Hector Arces-Espasas’s photograph incorporates painting and portrays a paradisiacal landscape. Gisela Insuaste’s wooden sculptural works depict urban spaces and landscapes and explore the intersection of architecture, topography, and memory. In Amy Feldman’s abstract painting, inverted triangular shapes are utilized to examine spatial structures, as she explores the relationship between figure and ground.   

Jamil Yamani’s video projection of brightly colored circular shapes recall the imagery of mosaic tiles in Islamic architecture and transform into chaotic, flashing lights in the landscape of New York. LoVid, an interdisciplinary artist duo of Tali Hinkis and Kyle Lapidus, construct works of disparate materials ranging from video to fabric as well as performances. In Network, electrical wires were woven together and used to conduct live video, revealing the technological infrastructure and creating a tactile experience. Jeremy Couillard views science as an aesthetic in his painting, which illustrates the evolution of totem poles in a cellular environment —in architectural and biological terms. Patterns and shapes are maniacally repeated, creating a distorted space.    

Eileen Jeng is an independent writer and curator and the archivist at Sperone Westwater gallery in New York. Previously, she was a research assistant in the Department of Contemporary Art at The Art Institute of Chicago. She has been involved in various projects, such as FLOAT at Socrates Sculpture Park in 2007. She received an MA in arts administration and policy from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago and a BA in art history and advertising from Syracuse University.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[NURTUREart’s semi-annual video series, Videorover, is an ever-expanding forum for new and emerging video artists. While producing and sharing video is becoming increasingly easier, we believe that truly exceptional video works still deserve to be presented and appreciated in the best possible way. To this purpose, Videorover aims to present a wide range of videos from local and international artists who are willing to question and extend the perceptual limitations of this medium.

Videorover’s Program #1 will present a group of videos that explore the possibilities of a time-based medium. These works do not intend to overwhelm, but derive their power from small moments of refracted realism. Opening on Sunday, December 18 for a week-long presentation at NURTUREart, the videos will be displayed simultaneously in the main gallery space. After the winter break, these videos will move to NURTUREart’s screening area and play on rotation, running concurrently with the regular exhibition schedule. Program #2 features works which show a hightened sense of spectacle by dissecting various elements of filmic tradition. This group, pulling between intimacy and expansiveness, will premier on Friday, January 6, 2012 at Indiescreen Cine Club in Williamsburg Brooklyn. This selection will also be presented at other locations as an itinerant program.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Luhring Augustine presents The Illusion of Democracy, a solo exhibition of the American film and video artist Charles Atlas. This will be the inaugural exhibition at Luhring Augustine’s new space in Bushwick, Brooklyn.

Atlas is a pioneering figure in film and video; for over four decades he has stretched the limits of his medium, forging new territory in a far-reaching range of genres, stylistic approaches, and techniques. Throughout his production, Atlas has consistently been deeply involved in fostering collaborative relationships, working intimately with such significant artists and performers as Leigh Bowery, Michael Clark, Douglas Dunn, Marina Abramovic, Yvonne Rainer, Mika Tajima and the New Humans, Antony and the Johnsons, and most notably Merce Cunningham, with whom he worked closely for a decade from the early 1970s through 1983.

The Illusion of Democracy will include two video installations never before seen in New York, Painting by Numbers, 2008 and Plato’s Alley, 2009. Atlas will also exhibit a new large-scale video work made specifically for this exhibition. 

Charles Atlas was born in St. Louis, MO in 1949; he has lived and worked in New York City since the early 1970s. His work has been exhibited domestically and internationally in such institutions as Tate Modern, London; the Museum of Modern Art, New York; the Centre Pompidou, Paris; the Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston; Hamburger Bahnhof – Museum für Gegenwart, Berlin; and the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York. In Summer 2011, the New Museum, New York held a solo exhibition of Atlas’ film, Joints Array. In March 2012, Atlas will have a solo exhibition at the De Hallen, Haarlem and will be included in the 2012 Whitney Biennial. In late 2012, Regency Arts Press Ltd. will publish the first major publication of Atlas’ work.

The transitioning is a tickle to the ribs, and the whole of round 3 is an offering of pleasantries.             ]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[The work in this show will combine Ellen Emmet Rand’s portrait paintings and drawings from the turn of the century with Ellen Emmet Rand's new abstract collage paintings, which have been inspired from and created directly over a series of her earlier figurative paintings done in the 1990’s. Though these women have created quite different works in technique and subject, there is a remarkable similarity in palette, use of light, and a unified sensitivity to composition. These women, having come from very different generations, paths and circumstances, manage to share a unique bond of creativity and perspective. ]]></Description>

From spray paint to oil paint to print making, this group of artists will display a collection of work to be hung in a gallery, but that can also be seen on the streets, walls and rooftops of New York. Their consistency and work ethic have been unparalleled in a scene that seems to be full of come and go artists looking for quick fame. This group has proved themselves time and time again to be among the most authentic and dedicated creators around. Engulfed with the love for what they do, they demonstrate their undaunted drive and creative dominance............... unless it's just all talk.]]></Description>

Bio:
Yuka Otani’s sculptures and installations incorporate transparent and fluid materials such as glass, water, melted sugar and light to invoke a shift in a viewer’s perception of physical and cognitive spaces. The vulnerable materials change their appearance over time, thereby simultaneously emphasizing both presence and absence. Her work has been featured in venues including Museum of Art and Design, Whitney Museum of American Art, Contemporary Art Museum Houston, Wight Gallery at UCLA.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[In financial terms, systemic risk refers to a domino effect of cascading failures, leading to the total, irreversible collapse of an entire system or market. The artists in this exhibition work to reorganize specific parameters of a given system in order to point to phenomenological behavior, inequality, misperception, and in some cases complete lack of understanding.

Daniel Bejar, Sujin Lee, Laura Napier and Risa Puno point toward conditions in contemporary life wherein a transition to a less optimal equilibrium is inevitable and often irreversible. This transition is key to the context of a selection of works that highlights humorously skewed results, competing agendas, and unfortunate compromises. Employing games, social behavior, language, and cultural recognition, Systemic Risk reveals how our familiar and trusted systems are in a process of breaking down and being discredited. ]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[WNTRSLN#2 is the second 'Winter Salon' show at Parker's Box, featuring selected works by gallery artists and special guests. As we head into the deepest part of winter with undoubtedly the coldest days of 2012 ahead of us, (before the Spring madness of the Armory Show and Volta), this exhibition offers diverse inspiration from a motley crew of committed and exciting artists. From established favorites to new discoveries in terms of both practices and artists, this winter exhibition should be one to warm the cockles and tickle the fancy, while stimulating the intellect with the innovatory approach and pioneering spirit that we can expect from all of these artists.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Both artist's source their work from the found, either in materials, shapes, or forms. Through this process they both create narrative triggers that remain undetermined by the artist and the naturalistic abstract forms of both artist's works.

Kevin Lips' sculptures are amorphous shapes that interact with each other and build off themselves. Trained classically as a potter and ceramicist, he takes everyday materials and hardware store basics and combines them to form surfaces and textures that bind and condense into outer shells and surfaces. This ever evolving series of simple but universal forms are now focusing on textiles. By combining strips of various colors, textures and densities of basic materials, Lips sculptures become off the wall three dimensional paintings. These new works are not about painting though, or any emulation of but more about the idea of form, color, space and materiality.

Mason Saltarrelli's work is an open-ended narrative that he creates by using a mixture of images that are found and imagined. Over time he has developed a cast of characters, some recognizable, some not, who invite the viewer to map for themselves new relationships and interactions. Identifiable borrowings, such as the Hopi figure of Kachina or specific Catholic saints with their attributes, are removed from their original context not to negate or deny their stories, but to add to them. Saltarrelli is inspired by the manners and functions of the fable or folk-tale and by jazz, whose improvisational template he applies in his own process. The intention is to invite anyone looking at the images to open a stream of consciousness that runs in parallel to his own.

  <Description><![CDATA[The artist who sets out to examine or establish a truth sometimes runs into the bigger truth that came before it: that what one wants to accomplish may be fleeting and may possibly be unaccomplishable, or that what one creates will transform into an unforeseen thing between the time it is conceived and the time it is completed. This first truth takes the form of gaps and inconsistencies that erupt when attempting to tell a story, remember a vision, or attempt to follow a rule, and it is fueled by unreliable memories, unraveled experiences, and inexplicable imprecisions. It can be fought against, accepted, ignored, or even embraced, but the first truth — which can also be called the first anomaly or the first disappointment — emerges through the work whether it is intended or not. The artists in this exhibition intend and do not intend, but  nevertheless communicate, this first truth in a variety of ways.

Gina Beavers labors to recreate images and scenes from an experience that passed by with no documentation, leaving no physical reference except for the impression in her memory. Setting herself up for an impossible task, she nevertheless feverishly tries to stick so very closely to an exact replication of a memory of an experience that she inevitably fails.

Megan Hays’ attempts to anthropomorphize states of longing, loneliness and vulnerability and define the forms that exist in these intra-personal states. Glaring, bound, and excreting, these strange forms of life announce and assert their vulnerability and their inadequacies.

Sara Hubbs’ sanded drawings are the mark and the un-mark. Through the process of addition and subtraction, the work is left to feel unfinished or undone–suspended somewhere before or after the illusion.

Janelle Iglesias’ curiosity lies in the fluctuating value and meaning of objects and their materiality when displaced from their source. Severed from a previous utilitarian or emotional function, she’s interested in how they can be reused and reappropriated in new contexts.

Sara Jones’ paintings capture the slippage between the accurate representation of a calamity and its role in a larger framework of disaster. Her work often depicts the intimacy of physical or emotional aftermaths, and uses a variety of materials to describe the rift between personal experience and collective memory.

Siobhan McBride creates cinematic narratives with gouache and paper that depict a disjointed alternate reality, a fantasy and an escape. Culled from memory, photos, and clips from magazines, the works are both loose diagrams for understanding events from the past, and strange prophetic puzzles to decode experiences yet to be known.

Danielle Mysliwiec abides by a strict rule-based process of working that in itself forms its own narrative. As the materials pass through this process the perception of the piece is literally and figuratively changed. The shapes shift and open to new associations where the weaving seems to gently hug an unidentified form or express an energetic quality. By virtue of the process used in creating these pieces, “perfection” is unattainable.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Storefront Bushwick presents the work of Martin Bromirski, Rachel LaBine, and Elizabeth Riley. This show marks the first time that the artists have exhibited at the gallery.

All contemporary art-making is a response to what it means to live in the world today. The premise of the show is the multi-faceted nature of our experience of contemporary reality, which the artists draw upon to make their work. The three artists on exhibit share a free-wheeling, fractured sense of space, time, and reality, which they investigate in their work by stretching the boundaries of their practice.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[The exhibition will showcase the diversity of the gallery program. The 8 artists included with works representing a variety of media (paintings, installations, sculpture, photography and design) reveal the sharp awareness they have of today’s circumstances. Ranging from Michael Van den Besselaar’s witty and wry observations on a range of familiar social subjects and Eric White’s insightful commentary on the absurdities of life to Julian Montague’s exploration of everything from the mundane to the sublime through text and image, the works in this exhibition cover a wide range of practices, lending the exhibition an uncanny edge.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[MATTHEW THURBER’s 120-foot by three- and four-foot sumi ink on paper scrolls, “Century 21,” “1-800-MICE Scroll,” and “Ambergris Performance Scroll,” tell the story of a mouse security guard, the protagonist of his graphic novel 1-800-MICE, and illustrate his band Ambergris’s songs “Paid in Foam” and “Daylight Savings.” Each work was part of a live performance that the artist narrated against an unfurling backdrop that is one part comic book and one part “nineteenth century music video.” These performances took place at KGB bar (2008), Issue Project Room (2007), and the Brick Theater (2011). The scrolls are seen here for the first time since these performances. ELWYN PALMERTON’s untitled large- and medium-scale quasi-performative drawings are non-compositional records of his unconscious. They are generally abstract but their lines crystalize into moments of occasionally lucid, often obscene representation. These improvisational works start with porous small structures which build to suggest information overload or horror vacui, and establish a vocabulary of clusters and lines. The velocity and intensity of the mark-making creates a pace which determines how the drawing progresses. They fill the page but also inhabit a shallow space and share an internal logic suggestive of the work of Henri Michaux.
 
A hardcover printing of THURBER’s 1-800-MICE was recently put out by PictureBox. The Paris Review calls the book “the Gravity’s Rainbow–Sherlock Holmes–Professor Sutwell–Inspector Clouseau–Silent Spring of comics,” while cartoonist Ben Katchor says: &quot;Matthew Thurber has singlehandedly revived the Surrealist program of revolutionary politics through dreamwork.&quot; He graduated with a BFA from Cooper Union and lives and works in Brooklyn. PALMERTON’s work is currently on view at Macarthur B Arthur gallery in Oakland, CA. He holds an MFA from SVA, lives and works in New Jersey, and is the recent recipient of a Pollock-Krasner grant.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Kenneth Ian Husbands works have been displayed and sold throughout the USA. His love of art had started at a young age when his father would take him to local gallery’s and museums.
As soon as young Kenneth could he started studying art history and carrying a sketch pad and oil pastels with him everywhere he could. His original style became that of the European surrealists, as he felt most comfortable in unreal situations where his imagination could thrive. Due to economic hardships he had to leave collage and his love of art and became a off shore fisherman where he spent 265 days a year at sea and away from land.
During and after this time he didn’t paint much as time did not allow. Kenneth settled in for the &quot;American dream&quot;, bought a house and seemed to be doing well until everything he was working for fell apart.
Now once again facing economic struggles and mental hardships he turned to a place that was all to familiar to him, his art! But in redefining himself he found that the surrealistic style now longer suited his feelings and view of the world. Kenneth wanted his new style to depict his latest life lesson that although we wish to control everything around us, we are all set in a predetermined path that we have little, if any control. His first solo show of 2012 is presented by the YES gallery and entitled &quot;Organic Lust&quot; it is curated by Lesley Doukhowetzky.
Kenneth Ian’s paintings have an energy of their own. They are predetermined on their own path, either meandering like water or like flowing like lava formations. These paintings are actually formed by the forces of nature, looking like organic earth formations. He depicts abstract, organic forms
which naturally blend together  to create patterns replicating nature’s perfection. Ian’s trust in organic forms is evident in the lustful use of paint which creates interesting designs. Kenneth’s use of rich colors is just what one would expect to see in forces of nature. When you can not be surrounded by live natural beauty one might lust over being exposed to Ian’s works of art.]]></Description>
