Magicians, Musicians & Mystics
Fleischmanns, NY, October 5, 2024鈥1053 Gallery is pleased to present MAGICIANS, MUSICIANS & MYSTICS, an exhibition curated by Hudson, New York-based collectors and art advisors, Carol McCranie and Javier Magri. The exhibition features the works of 23 artists including a special installation by Bob Faust and is on view October 5 through November 17 with a public reception on Saturday, October 5, from 4PM to 7PM.
McCranie and Magri assemble artists whose practices and media weave the disciplines of magic, music and mysticism in its myriad forms. According to McCranie, there鈥檚 鈥淪ound Magic鈥 (crafting spells through vocal tones, vibrations or musical instruments), 鈥淭ime Magic鈥 (manipulating the past, present, or future and bending laws of physics), 鈥淓goic Magic鈥 (altering one's sense of self or emotions as a magical conduit), 鈥淐olor Magic鈥 (harnessing colors to invoke specific spells or effects), 鈥淕lass Magic鈥 (using mirrors and glass to augment reality), 鈥淔ate Magic鈥 (influencing destiny or chance to manifest predetermined outcomes) and 鈥淐osmic Magic鈥 (drawing powers from celestial bodies or zodiac signs).
The artists in this exhibition demonstrate their capacity to transcend artmaking practices and materials. Glass, fiber, paint, metal, vinyl and colored lights charge the atmosphere with a mystical quality while entertaining deeply introspective themes and subjects. Together the multimedia works beckon the viewer to relinquish any barrier to the unseen processes that bring the pieces into form.
