Collage:Collage.
October 30 - December 14, 2009
curated by Jackie Klempay
Please join us for the opening reception!
Friday, October 30th, 7-9 PM
(Press Preview 6-7)
Featuring: Agathe de Bailliencourt, Sandra Eula Lee, Shanna Moulton, Margit Raczkowski, Dylan Spaysky, Jennifer Sullivan, Michael Krumenacker, Melinda Yale and ...Carlo Vialu.
Collage: Collage showcases nine contemporary artists who freely borrow, then deviate from art history to use collage as a tool for their own ends. Bringing together a diverse array of media including video, sculpture, installation and performance, Jackie Klempay has created a curatorial collage in the gallery. Displayed together, the works in this show build layers of meaning onto one another, as each work responds to another artist's use of the medium today. She writes: "Historically, artists have been drawn to collage in times of turbulence as a way to make sense of, and to lighten the severity of surrounding chaos." The bright colors, childish forms, and slaphappy construction of works in this collection may appear to speak of hedonism and bacchanalia, but deeper themes of war, despair, alienation and loss lurk under the surface.
Collage is a unique (non)media practice, capable by definition of formally doing what no other media can. Borrowing at will from any number of sources, a collage literally builds layers of original information into a new aesthetic unit. Klempay's ambitious exhibition not only extends this idea to the gallery itself, but also brings us work as layered and rich in interpretive possibility as it is in formal approach.
Collage:Collage is a NURTUREart Emerging Curators' Program Collaboration. Learn more about all of NURTUREart's programs and opportunities for emerging artists and curators at www.nurtureart.org.

PLAN B is an investigation of the emerging artist response to the current economic crisis. Originating from a quasi-anthropological premise, the project began as a survey circulated to dozens of artists about the impact of the recession on their work. As creative professionals who have historically adapted to adverse ...economic conditions, the artists provided truly insightful feedback. The reconnaissance effort continued with a series of studio visits, conversations and recommendations that ultimately revealed the artists' propensity to harness the moment's regenerative potential by proposing new personal, social and economic realities through their work. PLAN B's findings will be unveiled at the opening reception. On display will be alternative commercial structures, documentations of unique gatherings and online exchanges, gardens, installations, and paintings. Workshops and "crafternoons" will take place throughout the run of the exhibition.
Collectively, the works in PLAN B allude to society's growing skepticism and re-evaluation of existing social and economic norms. They also encourage the viewer to embrace the potential for constructive change and viable support networks.
