From October 11 鈥 January 3, 2009, HACS will be exhibiting the
work of Jonathan Stein and
Carl Pascuzzi in 鈥淎 Slice of the Action鈥; also,
Irene Pressner鈥檚 first solo exhibition in Miami showing: 鈥80 to 150 times a second鈥. 鈥淎 Slice of The Action鈥 will transform a 3000 square ft gallery space into a wall-to-wall faux cake installation that looks good enough to eat. Blending high and glossy fine art meets fashion photography with hand constructed mixed media celebrity faux realistic cakes, Stein and
Pascuzzi hope to celebrate that which Society loves to consume.
Irene Pressner鈥檚 interest in amplifying and juxtaposing diverse representative registries lead her to create hybrid paintings that cross between the ancient technique of encaustic and tattooing. In some pieces, the surprise factor plays a trick through camouflaged nostalgic comics, concealed to plain sight, where the hidden archetypes of the collective unconscious play an important roll.
