Petrified Wastage
Artists: Noah Kashiani, Millicent Kennedy, Olivia Zubko
The past four generations have grown up on technology that outdates itself quickly but is less quick to disappear. By way of afterlife your broken tools, inoperable fans, Halloween masks and acrylic scarves may not be what you envisioned carrying on your memory. The three artists featured in this exhibition are interested in the poetics and critique of this ongoing reality. Petrified Wastage takes on detritus as monument.
Independently these artists have used the language of archeology about their works, referencing fossils and field notes. Implying that these acts of unexpected re-creation are also a process of discovery.
Artists: Jan Brugger and Miao Wang
WET, includes a selection of experimental watercolors by Jan Brugger and Miao Wang. Both artists question the value, traditional use, and nature of watercolor to engender the medium with a critical abstract language saturated with both power and vulnerability. Watercolor is a medium that evokes improvisation, immediacy, translucency, and flow. In this exhibition, material, control, chance, and time are worked out inside a medium traditionally trapped in representation.
