黑料不打烊

Massimo Audiello is pleased to present the group show C鈥檓on shake it!鈥攁h ah Check it!鈥攐oh ooh. Opening reception is Thursday, May 1, from 6 - 8 pm. This show was conceived as a festival of youthful energy and chaotic harmony. The work comes from different artists with various visions, but when shown together, interesting contrasts and similarities create a playful, inspired collective. Christopher Brooks paints slick, up-in-your-face monochromes with a kinky edge. Samantha Casolari鈥檚 photographs show a dreamlike reportage from the Burning Man art festival in Nevada with a Mad Max feel. Peter Demos contributes with two stylistic black-on-black monochromes that explore the border between Pop and Minimalism. David Mramor juxtaposes photographed tombstones with drawings of anonymous unclothed men to express the classical contrast of Eros and Thanatos in a contemporary context. Scott Penkava transforms a rock sensibility of desecration and self-doubt into an elaborate, complex sculpture situated somewhere between fact and fiction. Thuridur Sigurthorsdottir鈥檚 objects bring cosmic physics down to Earth. Thor Sigurthorsson鈥檚 deceptively simple assemblages find equilibrium and elegance in the banal and ordinary.
