Curated by Matthew Craven

This exhibition brings together over 60 artists using a wide range of techniques and imagery within the field of drawing, painting, collage and sculpture to create a singular artistic vision. BLACK FOLIAGE takes its name from the contemporary psych rock band Olivia Tremor Control’s 1999 album Black Foliage: Animation Music Vol. One. Like the album, this exhibition combines pop and experimental aesthetics into something eccentric and cohesive.

The combined efforts from these artists will create something akin to a psychedelic zen garden.

*Black Foliage, originally took place on a much smaller scale at Chinatown Arcade, A DIY pop up art space and formerly a cell phone dispensary within the alley at 48 Bowery in New York City on July 22nd 2012.

Please join us on the evening of September 22nd 2012 for a opening reception.

"Try to throw away the flags of consciousness

Flow through the fields of time

But When you pass the black foliage

You can always change your mind"

-Looking For Quiet Seeds, Olivia Tremor Control

NEW FUTURE
opens Saturday September 08, 2012 from 6pm-10pm and features work by Maya Hayuk. Nathan Green. Kristen Schiele. Michael Dotson. Morgan Blair. and Andrea Myers

Exploring subject matter such as time progression, space, fluidity, deconstruction, symmetry, and beyond- each artist cleverly addresses and questions the existence of any of these ultimate principles. These mid- career artists are the new wave, new future of sorts. By dismantling the many known components of our visual lexicon, each artist continues on a quest to further explain their perception of reality. Focusing on color, pattern, movement, and play, NEW FUTURE is a continuous effort to further explore and dismantle our
perception of the now and beyond.

NEW FUTURE will be on view until October 09, 2012. For more information, contact Circuit 12 Contemporary at 214.760.1212 or visit Circuit12.com

1708 Gallery
April 20th -June 2nd

Potential Images surveys current practices in contemporary painting, from the representational to abstract, narrative to conceptual. Curated by Emily Smith, Executive Director of 1708, Potential Images will examine how painting relates to larger trends in contemporary art—for example a pervasive DIY aesthetic, an interest in new media, a reuse of surrealism, an awareness of the neo-baroque and the sublime, and a prevalence of personal narrative.

In addition to surveying different modes of painting, Potential Images will introduce Richmond to a group of mostly up and coming (though some are fairly established) artists. The exhibition will include works by Ivin Ballen, Guy Ben-Ari, Michael DeLucia, Michael Dotson, Brendan Smith and Maria Walker.

DREAM CONTINUUM, a group show featuring works by Michael Dotson, Kristen Schiele, Sofia Arnold, Linda Chalmers, Ky Anderson, Anthony Cudahy, and more, opening March 31st, 2012 at Circuit 12 Contemporary.
Surveying a range of images and subject matter derived from sources within and beyond the visible wold, the artists not only pose questions, but channel insight on psychological functions, tonality, and sensation; addressing space, time, technology, and their societal implications in waking life.
Within this body of work, typical forms are widely reduced to basic geometric designs and organic shapes. Figures present challenges in their placement and perception. Color fields rival linear structures and sound architecture. Inexplicable internal relationships are explored, unison in their composition is abandoned. Technology provides a point of departure for the development of sound structural, emotional, and psychological connections in space and time.
“There is an abstract thinking, just as there is abstract feeling, sensation and intuition. Abstract thinking singles out the rational, logical qualities … Abstract feeling does the same with … its feeling-values. … I put abstract feelings on the same level as abstract thoughts. … Abstract sensation would be aesthetic as opposed to sensuous sensation and abstract intuition would be symbolic as opposed to fantastic intuition. (Jung, [1921] (1971):par. 678)”
On view until May 2nd, 2012, DREAM CONTINUUM features artists from across the country and abroad. DREAM CONTINUUM is the grand opening exhibition for Circuit 12 Contemporary, located in the heart of the Dallas Design District. For more information, contact Dustin or Gina Orlando at info@circuit12.com. Gallery hours: Tuesday- Saturday, 11AM- 6PM. Private viewings upon request.

July 9 - August 22, 2011 >> opening reception: Saturday, July 9th: 6 to 8pm.

Picture Plane:

May 15 - June 19

Opening Reception: May 15, 7-9 pm

Nudashank is pleased to present our second exhibition- “Picture Plane.” This show brings together paintings that combine hard-edged abstraction with a post-digital return to pictorial space and linear perspective. Equal parts modernism and classicism, the exhibiting painters are from a generation that has been influenced by screensavers, vector graphics, MS Paint, Google maps, and Photoshop. The paintings evince the pervading luminescence of the computer screen, the digital color spectrum, and the expanding universe of virtual spaces. Flat, planar shapes are used as devices to depict scenes void of inhabitants. These paintings reflect a new, synthesized (perhaps alienated) perception of the world and how visual information is coded, condensed, flattened, and transmitted.

Picture Plane features six artists: New York based Dan Bina and Morgan Blair, DC based Michael Dotson and Allison Reimus, and Baltimore based Tim Horjus and Dale Ihnken.


Hope to see you there!
