Friday 01.06.2012 through Friday 01.13.2012 Project 35 is a program of single-channel videos selected by 35 international curators who have each chosen one work from artists they think are important to experience today. The resulting selections are released in four installments, the first of which we debuted in Maine last summer, and the second of which we present this month. Project 35 is produced and circulated by ICI (Independent Curators International), New York. The exhibition and tour are made possible, in part, by grants from the Cowles Charitable Trust, Foundation for Contemporary Art, Foundation To-Life, Inc., the Horace W. Goldsmith Foundation, and The Toby Fund; the ICI Board of Trustees; and ICI Benefactors Barbara and John Robinson. Project 35 also benefitted from donations made to ICI's Access Fund, created to widen the reach of ICI programs - Burt Aaron, Bobbie Brown and Steven Plofker, Jim Cohan, Phillip Drill, Leslie Fritz, Marilyn and Stephen Greene, Agnes Gund, Ken Kuchin, Gerrit and Sydie Lansing, Jo Carole Lauder, Janelle Reiring, Patterson Sims, Bill and Ruth True, August Uribe, Frank and Margo Walter, Helene Winer, and Virginia and Bagley Wright. Independent Curators International (ICI) produces exhibitions, events, publications, and training opportunities for diverse audiences around the world. A catalyst for independent thinking, ICI connects emerging and established curators, artists, and institutions, to forge international networks and generate new forms of collaboration. Working across disciplines and historical precedents, the organization is a hub that provides access to the people, ideas, and practices that are key to current developments in the field, inspiring fresh ways of seeing and contextualizing contemporary art.

Bennett Morris: Intercept Archive Friday 11.04.2011 through Saturday 12.17.2011 Bennett Morris' artist statement: "As technologies escalate and expand surveillance capabilities they dictate how we percieve and act simultaneously. We are witnessing the creation of post-human vision that incorportates both the visible and invisible spectrums. This interminable vision has given us a false sense of control ans institutes a union of the real and the virtual. Our current stat eof anxiety, insecurtiy and unease propels us to amplify our pursuit of more expansive automonous systems that act on the immediacy of both actual and manufactured data. The reality of horror is deferred through the sterile views produced by this technology. Acting as global deterrents, these systems perpetuate an endless feedback loop suggesting the eventual breakdown of control, and ultimately, the decay of information itself." |

Friday 11.04.2011 through Friday 12.16.2011 Gideon Bok will work in the gallery through November and December on a charcoal wall drawing, using SPACE as the subject. Gideon's interior paintings and drawings highlight the passage of time, usually utilizing the space where the work is made. They feature the changing cast of characters who have stopped by, records strewn about, and other artifacts such as musical instruments, empty bottles, and semi-complete paintings. Gideon will give a slide talk about his work and we'll celebrate the completion of this project at SPACE. Presented with support from The Artists Resource Trust. |

Thursday 09.29.2011 through Saturday 11.05.2011 Providence based artist Xander Marro's multi-media project Cursed New England began on the banks of the Woonasquatucket River, where she sought out New England's offerings of joyful spells and rituals performed for the creation of a new consciousness. In collaboration with musicians from each of the New England states, she is using their songs as inspiration to create atmospheres made of paper and glue, pixels and frames. The resulting music videos and their hand crafted paraphernalia including costumes, dioramas, drawings and sets will be on display through October. *in the annex

Monday 10.17.2011 through Tuesday 11.01.2011 SPACE Gallery invites your voice and your artwork to participate in our #occupySPACE installation beginning Monday, October 17. The nationwide Occupy movement relies on people's voices being heard, and we want to use our public window space for public thoughts about our financial crisis and threats to true democratic process. We're looking for statements, slogans, drawings, hopes for the future, concerns, visions, epiphanies, pleas, and more. We are primarily interested in Maine voices, and will show as much of the work as we can. All work should be letter size or smaller and will not be returned; at the end of the installation we will collect everything in a binder for our archive. Please email printable lettersize pdfs to nat@space538.org or mail to / drop off work at SPACE Gallery, 538 Congress Street, Portland, Maine 04101.

Friday 09.02.2011 through Friday 10.28.2011 Brooklyn artist Maya Hayuk spent the summer in residence at the Skowhegan School of Painting & Sculpture, emerged in August full of new energy and ideas, and immediately set to work creating four installations at SPACE amid our summer renovation project. Hyperallergic's Howard Hurst wrote of Maya's work, "Her dizzying, weird, and often psychedelic paintings are all about good vibes. The first time I saw her work at Cinders Gallery it felt like I was getting shot in the face with a laser full of happiness." Blending deep blacks and flourescent colors, her paintings toy with symmetry and opacity, mixing hard brush lines with softer wafts of color. |

Free Range Planets: A selection of work from the windows of downtown Skowhegan, Maine Monday 09.19.2011 through Saturday 10.15.2011 The threat of global warming, the Gulf oil spill, the Fukushima meltdowns, the extreme weather: all heighten our awareness that we all share this planet. More and more we come to realize that our own fate is tied to the planet’s fate. The Globe Project invited over twenty artists to present their visions of our world. These globes were displayed in both empty and occupied store windows of downtown Skowhegan Maine during this past summer. |

Pulled: an exhibition by Mike Perry Wednesday 08.10.2011 through Friday 09.16.2011 Wednesday, August 10: Members reception, slide talk and book signing Thursday, August 11: Opening reception
Brooklyn based artist and author Mike Perry's new book Pulled: A Catalog of Screen Printing presents a diverse scope of prints from over forty of the most dynamic contemporary designers today. The accompanying exhibit includes original screen prints from many of the artists featured in the book. The New York Times book review calls the work "engaging [and] delightfully silly. The common denominator in all these designs is complexity." Together with The Portland Museum of Art we will host a member's preview of the exhibit with a slide talk and a book signing where Mike will be hand screen printing directly on the books! The Wednesday, August 10th event is open to SPACE Gallery and PMA members only. Pulled will be available in the museum store along with some of Mike's earlier books. Click here for info on becoming a SPACE Gallery member, and here for info on becoming a PMA member. Artists in the book include: Aesthetic Apparatus

Elia Bettaglio, Selena Kimball & Tatiana Simonova: Drawings Friday 07.01.2011 through Friday 08.05.2011 New York based artists Elia Bettaglio, Selena Kimball and Tatiana Simonova present drawings in various media. This is our first show in our new annex space. Simonova's finely detailed silverpoint drawings on clay covered paper are delicately textured respresentations of the artist's memories and experiences. Her work translates a sentiment within the abstract shapes in a subtle ableit familiar and calming method. Creating an aesthetic of surrealist dreamscapes Bettaglio's graphite drawings embrace undefined forms with a meticulous touch. His fractured and deleted, while recognizable imagery offers room for interpretation, yet the underlying storyline makes you question the impetus for deletion in the first place. Neverthless, these drawings evoke a mystery that is undoubtedly absorptive. Through her drawings and paintings Kimball investigates fact versus fiction within known histories. Much of her work involves the viewer as a participant and in her Other Peoples Memories: Participatory site-specific installations, she involves the residents of the area where the exhibition is taking place and asks them to make drawings that will become the basis of the piece. She asks participants if they have memories that are frozen in time, like a snapshot, and if they will draw this memory. Their drawings are enlarged, overlapped and retraced by hand to make the final installation.

Wednesday 06.22.2011 through Friday 07.22.2011 Project 35 is a program of single-channel videos selected by 35 international curators who have each chosen one work from an artist that they think is important for audiences around the world to experience today. The resulting selection is released in four installments, and is presented simultaneously in an ever-expanding number of venues. Drawing on Independent Curators International’s extensive network of curators to trace a complexity of regional and global connections among practitioners, Project 35 demonstrates the extent to which video is now one of the most important and far-reaching mediums for contemporary artists. This is part one of four - the other three will be presented at SPACE during the next year. *Some content contains adult material.

Wednesday 06.22.2011 through Friday 07.22.2011 The Back Story is a visual chronicle of artist Beth Taylor's persistent back pain. "Inspiration for this project comes from personal pain triggers, coping mechanisms, scientific understandings of pain, and the difficulties of navigating the health care system." Hand sewn pill pillows, bright red yarn and a series of anatomical illustrations explaining "why it hurts" draw the viewer into this personal narrative with a humorous, yet sympathetic tone. |
|
Wednesday 06.01.2011 through Friday 06.17.2011 Draw Your Face Off is a drawing rally and it works like this: artists make drawings on the spot, pin their drawing to the wall upon completion and, if you can get your hands on it fast enough, it's yours to take home for just $20. It's as simple as that. Come watch the artists' process and become an instant art collector. Available work will hang from 6/1-6/17. |

Slack Water: Photographs of the Portland Waterfront Thursday 04.07.2011 through Thursday 05.26.2011 Photographer Mark Marchesi spent the summer of 1999 at a shellfish wholesaler on Portland's waterfront, continuing a life-long interest in marine boating and fishing. He began taking pictures of this unique remnant of Maine's industrial heritage, and in 2008 began a concerted series documenting the rough beauty of Portland's wharves, facilities and their workers. Special zoning and respect for marine-derived economy have helped preserve the character of this part of the city, keeping development in check. Yet change is inevitable, and how the Portland community chooses to manage the relationship between the old and the new will be an ongoing conversation for years to come. Marchesi's crisp photographs find color, beauty and vibrancy that's still very much alive in this important area that goes unseen by so many of us. |

Friday 04.01.2011 through Thursday 05.26.2011 Artist's statement:
I find manufactured objects to be marvelous participants in narrative constructions. The world of toys and their role in the stories we live by and tell each other and ourselves maps the realm of my art practice. Walter Benjamin wrote, "Children do not constitute a community cut off from everything else...their toys cannot bear witness to any autonomous separate existence, but rather are a silent signifying dialogue between them [children] and their nation." I find myself returning to the Benjamin quote over and over again in my writing, but in this body of work I have set out to manifest this ‘silent dialogue’ as deliberate objects. The conceit of the Dime Star work is the story of the (defunct) Mainline Toy Mfg. & Sales company of Chicago, Illinois. Mainline Toy apparently produced this series of character toys and ephemera. The Dime Star character appears to be a combination of spaceman, cowboy and police man and was perhaps meant to be marketed as one toy that could satisfy a multiplicity of children’s desires - or perhaps profit from three markets at one cost. It seems the Dime Star line of toys and products were not sold through toy stores but were sold direct to children via door to door salesmen, hence the company slogan on one end of the box, “Every door is a Dime Star store!” Randy Regier, 2011

Wednesday 03.30.2011 through Saturday 04.02.2011 The Sketchbook Project unites more than 10,000 artists from over 60 countries with a simple call to action: fill a sketchbook and share it with the world. Now in its third year, the Project reflects the DIY ethos of Art House Co-op, a Brooklyn-based gallery dedicated to creating massive international art projects for everyone.
Beginning in March 2011, the Project will tour the country as an innovative mobile library, visiting museums and galleries in Portland, Atlanta, Chicago, Austin, Seattle and San Francisco before returning home to the Brooklyn Art Library. The Library's unique cataloging system, developed specifically for the Project, allows artists to trace their sketchbook's journey through many hands, connecting a physical and virtual community that spans the globe.

Friday 12.31.2010 through Saturday 01.29.2011 Sage Lewis. Interference Blue, 2010 needles, thread, netting, and fabric on wall This installation is part of a series of work inspired by diamonds and cut gemstones. Their geometric faceting augments my love of traditional, grid-based embroidery patterns, wherein the purity and structural integrity of the grid is married with a desire for beauty and ornament. Conceptually, my interest lies in diamonds as a model for ideas about strength and weakness. Their exceptionally strong crystal structure is the hardest substance known, and yet cleaves along zones of relative weakness forming the “brilliant cut.” Their engineered architecture of facets, shards, mirrored surfaces, and refracted light have proven to be captivating subjects for me. Another influence on this work is the practice of Dazzle Camouflage painting used by U.S. and British navies during World War I. Dazzle did not conceal the ship but rather, used bold geometric abstraction to create a visual distortion that would "dazzle" and mislead the enemy. Successful Dazzle Camouflage made it difficult for the enemy to estimate a ship's speed and direction purely by visual confusion. Similarly, a central goal in my work is to achieve spatial uncertainty, commingling seductive and disorienting qualities. The title refers to the optical properties of minerals and the behavior of light waves when they pass through a thin film, such as the netting used in this piece.

This is the story of the Hellfire Missile system as told in a series of drawings by artist Kenny Cole, using hand drawn text copied from 125 expressionless milestones listed on an Army website chronicling decades of development from early laser research in the sixties to full blown deployment in the nineties.

Friday 11.05.2010 through Thursday 12.09.2010 Alicia Eggert and Mike Fleming's "Eternity" is a wall-mounted sculpture that employs 30 electric clock movements and 36 hour and minute hands. Once every twelve hours the hands align to spell the word ETERNITY, which in this case only lasts a mere split second. |

Sunday 08.01.2010 through Sunday 08.29.2010 Crystal Cawley's new work combines her interest in the form and function of clothing with the possibilities of paper. "I savor the challenge of translating the technical details and methods of working with fabric to working with paper. I also love reusing things—all of these garments are made of materials that used to be something else. Family Tree Apron is made of pages from a 1960s parenting book called Mothercraft. I used chopped up art postcards collected from museums and galleries or sent to me by friends for Cold Comfort Coat, and Love Letter Sweater is knitted and woven from letters sent to me by my partner when we didn’t live in the same state." |

Friday 07.30.2010 through Thursday 08.26.2010 Ground Score traces the unpredictable 30-year course of Bill Daniel, a self-taught artist who claims as a starting point his participation in the early 1980s Texas punk scene. A punk ethos is evident throughout this unmapped survey of photo-based work that is presented as the “ground score” of an itinerant, obsessive collector of socioeconomic marginalia. Taking as a spiritual guide fellow Guggenheim Fellow Robert Frank’s The Americans, Daniel’s Americans 50 years later are reeling from the further dissolution of the American Dream and scrapping together new countryside made of debris. These hand-altered landscapes of camper van inhabitants, hippie house boaters, graffiti-writing bike messengers, and the DIY art shows produced by the artist himself are the setting for a continuing exploration and participation in what Daniel calls “a folk poetics of survivalism.” |

Friday 05.07.2010 through Monday 05.31.2010 Andy Rosen's new work Loaded will occupy our front window for the month of May. "I know that fantasy is probably a human construct to make the world and all its chaos easier to swallow. But what if escapism is our best quality? What if making stuff up is the best thing we can do for ourselves, our way to escape our biology, if only for a moment? What I make is a kind of addendum to the toys and model arrangements of my boyhood. I intend to create objects that feel like something I’ve seen in my dreams: full of worry and wonder. Sometimes they are inspired by other stories or tales, sometimes by actual events and sometimes I forget which is which." |

Friday 04.09.2010 through Friday 05.21.2010 Jon Langford is a founding member of British punk band The Mekons and Chicago alt-country outfit The Waco Brothers, and a painter to boot. Langford’s “song-paintings” fuse publicity-shot portraiture with imagery derived from folk art, Dutch still life, classic Western wear, and the cold, cold war—all instilled with sharp, sardonic wit and a Constructivist sense of the power of language. He applies his completely distinctive style to the depiction of American music giants such as Bob Wills, Hank Williams, and Johnny Cash, and also to more ghostly, marginalized figures -- blindfolded cowboys, astronauts, and dancers -- jerked around by the forces of success and exploitation, fame and neglect. It’s a style supple enough not only to express the artist’s deep regard for his musical heroes, but also for him to comment on the death-dealing tendencies in the culture of his adopted homeland, from the killing off of authentic popular music by homogenized, mass-marketed drivel to the embrace of capital punishment as a response to social ills. Each painting involves a "long process of layering, scraping, and minute attention to detail. Basically, I create a very unstable surface with acrylics and pastel on top of each other and work on top of that with Sharpies, felt pens, white out, gunk, snot and whatever comes to hand." |

Thursday 04.01.2010 through Friday 04.30.2010 This month, Spindleworks and YES Art Works collaborate to highlight the work of two talented artists who elevate everyday structures and happenings to another plane entirely. For Richard Moore of Litchfield, it’s a literal raising of his eyes to observe and capture all that resides overhead: telephone poles, ceiling tiles, and contrail lines. Dynamic pen and ink lines carefully pulled from one edge of the page to the other draw the viewer into a tense, yet meditative, space. For Tom Ridlon of Alfred, certain buildings and vehicles he passes each day on the way to his studio in Brunswick etch into his mind. With no drawing, plan, or photo, Tom creates meticulous architectural models from the most basic of supplies—cardboard and construction paper, transforming a simple trailer home into a miniature castle. This month SPACE gallery’s window gallery features a selection of Tom’s models and Richard’s telephone pole drawings, bringing attention and new perspective to aspects of American daily life. |

Friday 03.05.2010 through Friday 03.26.2010 OCEAN MIND is a brand new multi-channel, electro/acoustic sound installation by Vermont musician/composer Greg Davis. The installation features 5 gongs (ranging in size from 12"-28") which are activated and sounded by small motors, creating a continuous wash of blissful metallic overtones. The electronic component of the installation consists of 4 loudspeakers and multiple handheld cassette players playing long loops of spectrally processed gong tones. The processed gong tones create ghost-like waves related to the acoustic gong sounds. All of the elements are spatialized around the gallery to make a multi-dimensional sound environment with infinite changing perspectives as the listener moves about the room. The sum of all the parts creates an immersive, meditative, deep listening space perfect for clearing one's mind and bringing us all back (or forward) to the present moment. The opening of the sound installation will be followed by a rare live performance of analog synthesizer music by Greg Davis, Keith Fullerton Whitman & Ben Vida. |

Untitled (White Botehs for Amy Butler),2009 Friday 04.03.2009 through Saturday 05.23.2009 Patrick O'Rorke Cut plywood, enamel paint Patrick's influences come from diverse sources such as contemporary design, psychedelic fabric patterns, the New Yankee Workshop, the Shakers, music and seed catalogs. The shapes and colors are a result of these things, and from his natural tendency to pile or organize things come the compositions. Slowly moving away from the right angle although mindful not to abandon his respect for craftsmanship, Patrick's current work feels like some of the most honestly modest representations of the universe he can offer.

Sound and Vision: Circuit, Tube, and Prism Friday 01.09.2009 through Saturday 02.21.2009 Bryson Brodie Curated by Gideon Bok Sound and Vision: Circuit, Tube, and Prism is curated by Gideon Bok as part of SPACE’s annual “Artists Curating Artists” series. Basing the show around the idea of refraction of sound, electricity and light, Gideon has brought together two sound artists, Galen Richmond and Kevin McMahon, and three painters, Bryson Brodie, Matt Phillips, and Stephanie Pierce, to promote a dialogue based around this concept. |

Friday 01.09.2009 through Saturday 02.21.2009 Kyle Downs: "My work focuses heavily on form, construction, and the preservation of raw materials. In my experimental, mad scientific-state I treat each piece with a simple system; exploration, extrapolation, transformation. Host essentially is the parasitic transformation of plywood that feeds off of harsh living conditions. Suffocated by white walls, bright lights, and its current glass chamber, Host remarkably remains resilient in this introduced environment." |

Time Warp: Thirty Years at Spindleworks Tuesday 11.25.2008 through Saturday 12.20.2008 Thirty years ago, Nan Ross, a weaver from Bath, Maine, began working with six individuals from Independence Association, an agency that helps children and adults with disabilities achieve full and inclusive lives in their chosen community. Nan started off teaching spinning, weaving, and rug hooking but soon added drawing, painting, printmaking, poetry, dance and clowning. From these beginnings, Spindleworks was born. Time Warp includes paintings, drawings, sculpture, textiles, collages, garments, and videos by current and past artists. The show reflects Spindleworks’ rich history and offers a view of what is possible when artistic expression and experimentation are encouraged among all. |

Friday 10.03.2008 through Thursday 11.13.2008 SPACE is pleased to present the work of Brooklyn-based photographer, Tod Seelie, in Constant Quarry. For the past decade, Seelie has inexhaustibly photographed the underground music, art, and momentous DIY counterculture that has saturated his borough and spread into other areas across the country. The one hundred-plus color photographs in Constant Quarry, featuring portraits, landscapes, and events, are an autobiographical roundup of Seelie’s recent travels, friendships, collaborations and adventures from America’s rusted out underbelly to sweaty dance parties in Harlem and everything in between. |

Tuesday 09.16.2008 through Tuesday 09.30.2008 Tom Konieczko's work A Marker Drawn to Completion begins with a concept and ends with an aesthetic gesture. The piece mimics the look of a child's defiant markings on a kitchen wall. It is the recording of a relationship between an artist and his chosen material. The artist marks a meandering path upon the surface of the gallery wall until the marker will no longer write.

Third Annual SPACE Gallery Polaroid Auction Friday 06.06.2008 through Friday 06.06.2008 You've probably heard the news that the Polaroid Corporation has decided to cease production of our favorite film, so who knows what future lies ahead for devotees of the beauty created with our beloved instant film?

Friday 03.21.2008 through Friday 04.25.2008 SPACE Gallery is pleased to present The New Constructionists, a drawing show featuring new work by Meghan Brady, Jena Derman, Gina Siepel, and Zoë Wright. While the artists draw on a range of influences, exploring different sets of themes and questions, the works on view all possess a certain “built” quality, employing functions of form and space, symmetry, surface, and pattern to construct drawings from everyday objects and sights familiar. These four artists’ solitary engagements with drawing advance their private experiments in recreating and reimagining within the picture plane. |

Friday 01.11.2008 through Friday 02.22.2008 At the start of the millennium, technology dominated visual art. Since then, we’ve seen a resurgence of art made by hand that matters to people in a different way. Matter refers to physical substance and to a subject of thought or concern. Used here metaphorically, Matter describes an aesthetic shift in which a new generation of artists is reinvigorating the textile tradition relevant to many of the concerns of this new century. This exhibit heralds the revitalization of sculptural textiles for a new era. This thematic group exhibition features works by artists whose imagery is informed by contemporary issues such as globalization, labor, gender and the body, proliferation, and nature. Matter brings together six artists who reside in the Northeast and Midwest. They have created contemporary sculptures, visually complex and compelling, grounded in ideas that transcend the traditions of craft. The sculptures in Matter immerse viewers in a world of eye-catching visual experience and sheer imagination. Each artwork is made by hand, bringing together cutting-edge and age-old visual techniques. |

Thursday 07.05.2007 through Thursday 08.09.2007 Home is a place of safety, comfort and status, but for some a site of darker associations. During childhood, idealized drawings and paintings of home constitute some of our first forays into visual art, revealing conceptions of life's most basic elements - family, security, and connection. In "A Time and A Place,” Alexander Cheves, Lisa Dahl and Kyle Bravo each present their views of home with a captivating surface beauty. The colors, shapes and textures draw us in, then slowly, more foreboding overtones emerge. The houses are broken, fractured or inaccessible, yet the paintings, prints and sculptures have a dreamy, childlike optimism. |
|
Thursday 06.28.2007 through Thursday 08.09.2007 Greta Bank's Clearance: The Four Horsemen was inspired by mankind’s path of destruction. The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse: The False Leader, War, Famine and Plague are individually showcased within antique giltwood chairs accompanied by matching upholstered panels. Nearly fifty separate narratives flood the panels’ Baroque patterning, using scatological metaphor taken from topical events and problems that threaten our existence. Classical iconography, merged with popular culture, plays out a number of sad truths.

Tuesday 05.22.2007 through Thursday 06.21.2007 Elizabeth Duffy’s work resurfaces themes of transience and transformation, using objects and drawings made with labor-intensive methods. Her sources are the overlooked remnants of things we use in our daily routines. Business envelopes, cleaning products, lint, straws and office supplies are accumulated and manipulated to bring out their alternate lives and to draw attention to what we use and discard.

Friday 01.05.2007 through Thursday 02.22.2007 The rural vernacular is a complex plurality, a language that is rapidly being altered by suburban encroachment, development, and preservation. The rhythms of forests, plains, hollows, hillsides, and long dirt roads form a basic grammar while a regional rural patois is forged through variations in human interaction with the land. The work exhibited in Rural Vernacular--maps, photographs, drawings, sculptures, and videos--are inspired experiences in rural environments. Concerns of poverty, identity, land usage, isolation, and natural forces share common ground with issues of home, place, routine, labor and leisure. With work by Brad Birchett, Cat Clifford, A. Jacob Galle, Sarah Gamble, Heather Gray, Lydia Moyer, Abby Sadauckas and Jeff Whetstone. Curated by A. Jacob Galle.

Thursday 10.19.2006 through Friday 11.24.2006 SPACE Gallery proudly presents The Innocents, a stunning collection of portraits by photographer Taryn Simon. These photographs show the faces and voices of the wrongfully convicted, people imprisoned for years before finally proving their innocence. Gathered from across the United States, this collection exposes a broken judicial system where even the most fundamental principles of justice are subverted. This compelling exhibition of Simon’s photographs and interviews with the wrongfully convicted confronts the failings of the criminal justice system and the use of the death penalty in this country, a topic currently under close scrutiny. The images and voices of The Innocents mark this historic turning point in America.

New Works by Cassie Jones and Michael Zachary Saturday 12.03.2005 through Friday 12.23.2005 Jones’ new paintings—acrylic on Duralar—operate in a dialogue between their cool, almost diagrammatic style and their eccentric, intuitive sense of abstract form. Where her earlier work often featured a play between biological and technological processes, the new work favors biomorphic forms presented in a more symbolic manner. Zachary’s paintings strike a balance between the destruction of information and the creation of information. New marks obscure existing ones, while allowing past configurations to emerge through the surface.

Thursday 11.03.2005 through Thursday 11.24.2005 In Calcutta's red light district, over 7,000 women and girls work as prostitutes. Only one group has a lower standing: their children. Zana Briski became involved in the lives of these children in 1998 when she first began photographing prostitutes in Calcutta. Living in the brothels for months at a time, she quickly developed a relationship with many of the kids who were drawn to the rare human companionship she offered. Zana held weekly photography workshops between 2000 and 2003. There the children learned camera basics, lighting, composition, the development of point-of-view, editing, and sequencing for narrative. To Zana's delight, equipped with inexpensive point-and-shoot 35mm cameras, the children produced incredible work. Their images are explosions of color: self-portraits, family pictures, street scenes, stunning tableaus of Bengali life.

Friday 06.03.2005 through Friday 07.08.2005 Boy's Life guest-curator Denise Markonish examines what it means to be a boy, and how these stereotypes follow through to manhood. The works in Boy's Life use humor, social commentaries and cultural references to question our assumptions of masculinity specifically and definitions of gender more generally. Paintings of minnows barely registering on foot-long rulers, photographs of war reenactors, styrofoam tool benches, and artistically enhanced car hoods individually illustrate disparate aspects of the male experience, yet combine to subvert traditional stereotypes. The artists, or "boys" as Markonish refers to them, draw on childhood experiences, cultural pressures, and personal vocations to create work that teeters on the edge of familiarity and fanaticism. |

Tuesday 06.21.2005 through Friday 07.08.2005 Work by Mike Libby “Animals R Us” originates from my interest in taxidermy, specifically, the resulting distortion the display of taxidermy characterizes. Taxidermy, as a form of wildlife representation, is an attempt to capture and preserve the real through articulated representation of what was once real (i.e. alive) in the most comprehensive and complete of forms, the sculpturing of the actual animal body or head. This process, in which animals are “trophied” or “souveniered” as wall hangings becomes a simulation of something that never really was and ultimately becomes even stranger and more alien than the original real thing. |

Tuesday 05.31.2005 through Monday 06.20.2005 Cathy McLaurin's installation, created in 2002, consists of a wall papered with secrets and a booth where participants add secrets to the project. Written in pencil on hand-cut 4”x5” newsprint rectangles, the secrets have the visual tone of a whisper, on an intimate scale. More than 2500 handwritten secrets have been collected to date. The newsprint yellows over time, evoking remnants of the past, old family letters, and nostalgia. The booth creates a private and meditative space – a confessional. Participants write and then deposit their secrets into a locked box. During the time in which the project is installed, the secrets are periodically unlocked and added to an adjoining wall. Thus, participants experience the power of having written their secret and then seeing it posted alongside those of previous participants.

Friday 03.04.2005 through Thursday 04.14.2005
Through his spacecraft creation and diagnostic murals, Zach Kane explores the aesthetic and intellectual intricacies of space travel. Although originating in his mind, his machines, made from assembled cardboard, adhere to physical laws of functionality based on the power source of ‘dark matter.’ This show combines beauty with innovation, questioning technology as a means to an end or an end in itself. Also inherent to the show are ideas about the nature of information and the limitless possibilities of outer space.

Friday 01.07.2005 through Friday 02.25.2005
Light In the Dark is a group show of works in sculpture, photography, video, new media and performance. Working with light as a medium, the artists had each discovered that it is inherently ethereal, barely there, dreamy, and suggestive of spirit beyond form—yet always seeking form to define itself. As a result, the show examines how the 15 artists have captured and pinned down light to form. Works include illuminated photography or night lights, projection onto mist or ice, and a three dimensional painting on plexi-glass. Most use electricity, some use humor, and some respond to war. |

Beautiful Mutants, Mark Mothersbaugh Friday 09.03.2004 through Saturday 10.16.2004
You know from Devo and the “Rushmore” soundtrack, but Mark Mothersbaugh also makes art: found photographs and images “corrected” to create new beings that examine ideas about human symmetry and Rorschach-esque interpretation. “People are all hiding something,” says Mothersbaugh. “Our asymmetrical exterior hides the true contents of each of us.” Housed in antique frames and leather cases, the mutants represent a collective yet distorted history of human form. |

Kyle Durrie, “New Drawings” & Mia Capodilupo, “Material Field” Friday 07.02.2004 through Monday 08.30.2004 Kyle Durrie’s work inhabits marginal landscapes, industrial zones and hightways.

The front window will feature “Material Field,” an installation by Mia Copodilupo which uses a variety of materials to explore desire and fear of intimacy.
