Cold
"Cold" is a group exhibition that gathers a diverse range of works by twenty-three artists exploring the word cold through a variety of material, formal, and conceptual methods. Many of the artists’ focus is on the environmental implications of the word, some utilize a cool color pallet, while others approach the word in a literal sense. Suspended from the ceiling is a mixed media sculpture entitled "We All Go Down Together" by Karin Bruckner. The piece is constructed from a range of materials, including cyanotypes created with ice cubes melting on glass, a reference to climate change and our role in it. Mitchell Lewis presents the painting "The Polar Whale", a large abstract mixed media work that shows a combination of minimalism, symbolism, action paintings, and allegorical stories. Ira Pearlstein’s found object sculpture entitled Madonna and Marble is created with supplies he has found on the streets, sidewalks, local salvage yards, and at low tide in New York. The work evokes the iconic image of the he Virgin and Child, and blurs the line between representation and abstraction.
