Salon des RefUSE
at Garrison Art Center
Garrison, NY, USA
Aug 16, 14 - Sep 07, 14
Garrison Art Center is proud to announce Salon des RefUSE, an exhibition curated by artist Thomas Huber. According to Huber: Salon Des RefUSE features artists from the lower Hudson Valley, who work with found objects and industrial materials. In transcending everyday materials into art, these artists act like tricksters--they invite audiences to confront and rethink the objects on view.
Referring to the history of art rejected right out of the Academic Salons in Paris, as well the varied practices of iconoclastic artists such as Eduard Manet, Marcel Duchamp and Robert Rauschenberg, Salon des RefUSE includes rich works that point to the histories of reusing and recycling materials in the service of art that refuses to be categorized in whatever passes for the conventional account of art. read more...
Arrive and Likewise Depart
at Sonce Alexander Gallery
Los Angeles, CA, USA
Aug 16, 14 - Sep 01, 14
In photography, the appreciation of sculptural form encourages repetition and isolation of form with consideration for detail and environment. A single photographic frame can offer a concentrated analysis of structure and surface material: the opportunity to revisit angles, depth of shadow and gradients of light. Accentuated scale, monumentality and exaggerated viewpoints reveal the photographer鈥檚 artistic inscription while exposing the collapse of sculptural perception within a two-dimensional visual field and medium. read more...
