"A Word Like Tomorrow Wears Things Out" Exhibition
Sikkema, Jenkins & Co
This event has ended.
Kelly Barrie will present works from his series entitled “Between the Blinds”. Using photo luminescent pigments
manipulated with his feet, Barrie creates a large scale drawings based on found images of subjects that no longer exist in there original place or form. The drawings are then photographed in sections over the period of a number of days and weeks, resulting in over 100 images which are stitched back together with the use of a computer. Each photograph retains a slight color cast which is dependent on the time of day it was taken and the angle or incidence of light. These color shifts, seen in the final piece, represent a temporal register for the duration of the work.
Glen Fogel will be exhibiting two recently completed works, a video installation titled Art from Kansas City, and a sound and light piece titled Glen from Colorado. Conceived of as companion pieces, the two works function as distinct yet related portraits of the artist: one is mapped onto a pre-existing politically charged memoir, and the other from the artist’s personal archive. Both works conflate minimal forms with emotionally, psychologically and politically charged material, and explore the complexities of identity-formation.
Mariah Robertson’s unique photographs are the result of a variety of darkroom techniques and the chance incidences that happen during their processing. The resulting images are a chaotic mix of representation and abstraction.
David Benjamin Sherry will present variously colored monochromatic photographs displayed in an installation format. The works spans most fields of photographic work: landscapes, still lives, portraits, abstractions, camera-less photographs and self-portraits. Sherry’s practice is based in traditional color
photography using pre-digital darkroom techniques to create “a world based from my own experiences and transforming [the photgraphs] into a more fantastical, magical, new and exciting visual atmosphere that transcends reality and challenges thoughts on existence, spirituality and my intimate relationship with nature.”
