Detour @ SPACES

Detour is an exhibition of 5 artists’ practices rerouted by an obstruction. SPACES has created a framework for play wherein 5 selected artists meet to discuss their practices and address areas of comfort and discomfort. By the end of the evening each artist will be assigned an obstacle by his/her peers. One artist may rely very heavily on a specific media, but the other 4 artists may agree that it would be good to step out of that comfort zone. Another artist may be asked to utilize a certain subject matter while another may be asked to work collaboratively rather than as a solo artist. Each obstruction is assigned as a playful experiment and a tool for growth rather than a mean-spirited prank.

The artists will then have seven days before the opening of the exhibition to realize their project while skirting around their new obstacle. Each artist will also be paired with someone who will document their processes and decisions. Like announcers at a football game, these individuals will run color commentary to make the artists’ play accessible to the public. SPACES’ website will function as the hub of the color commentary, but the exact relationship of the artist to their documentarian will be negotiated by the pair. Commentary may manifest itself as text, audio, video or some other means.

These artists’ experiments may succeed, and they may fail. That is the nature of a detour. Sometimes a more scenic route is discovered off the beaten path, and sometimes you just get horribly lost. In the end, projects will be realized, but the artistic process will be brought to the forefront and privileged alongside the finished work.

March 30-April 5, 2009

Curated by Alexander Young

The Artspace Buffalo Gallery in conjunction with the Big Orbit Gallery is pleased to present the exhibition, Comfort, Burn. Culling its title from the text of William Shakespeare’s unfinished tale of fortune and misanthropy Timon of Athens; Comfort, Burn refers to a crucial moment wherein the eponymous Timon–a fallen plutocrat ailing and in exile–curses wealth, along with civilization, as a tool of hypocrisy and further condemns those who would seek or offer it. Combining regional, national, and international artists; this exhibition foregrounds both subjective comfort and the mastering of space and time offered up to the beneficiaries of the communication age and its phantasmagoria of speed and consumption. Much like the character Timon, the artworks exhibited are situated both within and against dominant cultural narratives through methods of reenactment, recombination, and reappropriation. From Paul Lloyd Sargent’s revisitation of the counter-cultural icon Abbie Hoffman as his alias Barry Freed, to Aoife Collin’s thread by thread disassembly and reassembly of common artificial flowers, and Craig Drennen’s ongoing recoding of the dramatis personae of Timon of Athens within his practice of conceptual paintings and multiples; each artist endeavors to investigate and introduce new layers of meaning and critique into both that which is familiar and that which remains concealed, inimical to casual perusal.

I’ve just finished designing a new website for Insoon Ha, a good friend of mine.
Her work is astonishing; I hope the site reflects that a little.
