A Tale of Two Cities
Gory | Gian Paolo Minelli

Different cities have been the muse for many photographers through the history of art. In this occasion two photographers give their vision of two cities: New York and Buenos Aires, geographically and socially on opposite sides of the spectrum.

Gory shows a new face of New York, a city made by a mixture of people from diverse origins, with lyrical images which combine black and white with a touch of color.

Minelli, focuses his attention on social aspects, in the conditions of a penitentiary building and in the community of Piedra Buena, a dilapidated neighborhood of crack addicted youth.

Project Room: Victor Cartagena

Bang, Bang, Toy Gun!, an installation of San Salvador, focused on issues of violence in youth communities, both in his home country and in the United States where he lives in and works.

Ferrandis, Mailer, 2008. Oil and Acrylic on Polyester, Plexiglass and Wood with Aluminum Frame, 12 x 14 in.




 

Echo Distance Shadow Gravity
Andres Ferrandis

Ferrandis captures the subtleties and vicissitudes of the landscape: light, distance, shadow, movement, color, sound, and temperature, in an exhibition consisting of constructed paintings and installations. His works are abstract, poetic depictions of the sensory and emotional experiences caused by these atmospheric elements.

The harmony he achieves in his combinations of color and contrasting uses of wood, aluminum, canvas, linen and silk-screened polyester is visually engaging. His use of color is an effort to depict the fragmentation of light, and result in creating a mood, a feeling of calm contemplation. Some of his works clearly make references to the horizon with their horizontal bands of colors and textures, others to time, memory and the cycles of life.

Marc Hello

In Dreams & Leftovers, Hello will feature a video projection, drawings and large scale photography all inspired by his gathering of cultural information from the internet, television and newspapers. His video titled Blind News is about television news programming gathered from our daily life juxtaposed with beautiful scenes from everyday life.  His photo series takes religious iconography and incorporates his pop and humorous twist.  

It Gets Worse
Clifton Childree. Rat Bastard and Nikki Rollason.

A nightmarish slapstick short film.  This 1920s style silent horror film is about an old sea captain troubled by a cursed coffin shaped nickel arcade game which changes his appearance and personality, transforming him into the Mr. Hyde alter ego of his character

Shaw, Tab, 2008. Wood, steel, holographic laminate, paint, flocking, 17x 23 x 41 in



 

Until  May 31
David Shaw
NEW WORK   

Sculptor David Shaw continues to excavate the seemingly endless layers of biology, physics, nature, and technology. His work, aside from being contemporary sculpture by definition, is rather categorically ambiguous. Through the use of steel, wood (raw and finished), paint, holographic laminate, and found objects, Shaw now ventures into a more personal realm than in his last exhibition here in 2005, which was heavily entrenched in a nature vs. technology dialect.

Nursery, for example, uses strict geometric constituents bound together by an organic element to represent a nurse log. For Shaw, beauty exists in the inherent usefulness in all that we see and find. Untitled is a prompt to examine the full nature of reality, including the relationship between mind and matter, substance and attribute, fact and value.

Lei Rodriguez, Nugget for Chamberlain, 2008. Metal, epoxy resin, assorted objects 1/1

 

Until May 24
Cristina Lei Rodriguez
New Work

Cristina Lei Rodriguez’s new work introduces a wider range of sources that center on the consumer and commercial object and move beyond the baroque, overtly ornamented gardens and vegetation for which she is known. 

The works on view bear a noticeable relationship to the found objects, minimalist works and junk sculptures of the 1960s, particularly those by Donald Judd and John Chamberlain. Several sculptures consist of complex assemblages made of fashionable fabrics, artificial plants and everyday items; others consist of simple, solid structures that bring focus to the literal nature of the objects.

Rodriguez’s sculptures reflect a love of artifice that characterizes the artists of her generation. With this new body of work, the artist offers an unabashed celebration of the consumer object in all its forms.

Aisen Chacín, SECLUDED Series, SINFONY Photo-Sculpture, 2008


 

Until April 30
Hardcore Art Contemporary Space presents
4 solo shows.
Aisen Chacín, Andrés Michelena, Pepe López,
Juan-Si González

SECLUDED by Aisen Chacín proposes a poignant view of children in critical conditions of our society. She has created highly incisive works in the form of photo and video-sculptures.

Andrés Michelena’s time-less time installation inhabits a territory in which concept and imagination are inseparably bonded, and at the same time engages a real situation where all elements contained are freed from their physical and perceptible nature.

We have Pepe Lopez on site. He takes us on a journey into his own globalization, diverting products from their current use and giving them a new dimension.

Juan-Si Gonzalez shows Stay At Home Dad: “In my role as father, I encountered this barrage of advertising…and I began to explore the repercussions that these apparently inoffensive toys might be having on our emotional and psychic conscious

Reyna, Arrhythmia, from the undertheskin series, sculpture / video, 2008


Until May 30
Two Solo Shows
Anita Reyna, Felipe Herrera

Anita Reyna’s Undertheskin consolidates its previous language and incorporates the resource of video to obtain a random and playful association of concepts. Loaded with humor and delirious by the forms, Anita Reyna’s most recent work reflects the artist’s obsession of the compositional game between patterns and textures of kaleidoscopic effect.

Felipe Herrera’s Bodies and Boxes is made up of obsessive boxes, windows that are opened to other worlds where we all inhabit. Indifferent doors that lodge fragments of a being’s universe; symbolic language impregnated of violence and tenderness. The work of Felipe Herrera is an assemblage where tangible elements are intertwined; paradoxically they come of an imagery hoarded for years in the memory of the man who creates it.

Robert Craig
Recent Works

Born in New York City, Robert Craig showed an aptitude for art at a very early age. By the age of 14 while staring at a Frank Frazetta original that was hanging in the Society of Illustrators he knew exactly what 'kind' of artist he wanted to be. Robert wanted to be, and became a commercial illustrator.

Robert illustrated ads for Playboy, Rolling Stone, IBM, Sony, Disney, Viacom, TV Guide, Westinghouse, General Motors, Cigarette brands such as Winston, Doral, Magna, and yes Camel. He says, “My work is my statement. If I have to elaborate on it verbally, then I've missed the mark visually.” After 30 years of this....it got old. Robert retired from his life long occupation and decided to paint what he wanted and sell his work through the galleries.

Silvana Lacarra. Dys-Functional


The work that Lacarra has been producing over the last decade is both-and neither-in the medium of painting and sculpture. Rectangular, flat-surfaced and hung, most of her work could be considered painting. They look like paintings. But Lacarra's pieces have also always been sculptures, in the most literal of senses… Lacarra's tables, standing on their feet, standing on their head, with half broken legs offer and reveal not the hidden secret behind their making, but the residue of experience. Dys/Functional.

From her first solo show, in 1999, Silvana Lacarra has rarely titled or named her individual pieces or her exhibitions… And, even though names have made their way into Lacarra's work as it has moved into something like the theatrical realm of the mise-en-scène-area in which, interestingly, Lacarra has also worked- leading the spectator into narrative scenes, guided into those spaces of affect by the compelling drive of its naming process, the resistance to easy appropriation remains: "Dys/Functional".

Marry me - western Union
David Rohn

Marry me – Western Union will be Miami based artist David Rohn’s first exhibition with the gallery for which the artist will explore cultural and historical definitions of union,  both temporal and eternal.  Assuming the role of prospective bride “Esperanza” (which means both ‘hoping’ and ‘waiting’ in Spanish) the artist will address notions of unity, which he views as fundamental to the search for meaning.

Broadening his subject matter to include the theological, Rohn references the writings of the 16th century Spanish mystic Saint Teresa of Avila particularly from her book ‘Interior Castle’, in which she frequently described her union with God  as that of a Bride to a Spouse.

Using live video feeds together with telephone and audio content. the artist will virtually connect the conditions within the gallery and those outside in the adjacent garden – stressing the relationship between internal and external consciousness and the part that technology plays in our relationships.
