Unveil at Tiger Strikes Asteroid
When Roberta and I were visiting the January small group show at Tiger Strikes Asteroid (can there be anything but a small group show in that tiny space?), gallery member Nathan Pankratz mentioned to us that the gallery might move to a larger space. That’s welcome news, especially since this small artist-run space continues to mount good shows. The January show, up to the 29th, includes work from Corey Antis, Ben Pranger, Donna Ruff, Adam Parker Smith, and Hunter Stabler.
Weekly Update — Vox Populi’s Members’ Puzzles
This week’s Weekly has my review of Vox Populi’s December shows. Below is the copy with some pictures and added words. See Libby’s post for more about the show. Vox Populi’s December members’ show is a conceptual outing that—with the exception of Amy Adams’ sparse but evocative “Our Boat That Is Made of Flowers”—is totally puzzling. The newly married Adams is the former executive director of Vox and now works as the director of Fleisher-Ollman Gallery. Her installation is about power, love, war and peace, triggered by her recent honeymoon to Europe where she saw many old paintings of battle ...
American Dream noir at Vox
James Johnson, Some Rooms-Part I (Yours), installation detail Darkness is my pillow at Vox Populi this month. Almost everything is noir, and the American Dream has turned into something lost, exploded, longed for and gone. At least that’s what I got over almost everything I saw there. The most ambitious work on the subject is James Johnson‘s photo installation, Some Rooms-Part I (Yours). Corey Antis‘ smallish formalist paintings also refer to spaces and memory and feelings; and the video by Deborah Stratman at Screening Gallery, just inside Vox, also refers to these ideas. (Sarah Zwerling‘s Window, in the video lounge, ...
Glass, paper, time and space at Temple Gallery
Robert Geyer, recycled glass mountain, from his Tyler MFA show last week. In between the Tyler groundbreaking ceremony last Friday at 11 and a meeting at 2 pm with Pepon Osorio at the Lighthouse to see his Badge of Honor installation (highly recommended! — see my flickr set, and watch for a post soon) I ran into Old City and stopped in to Temple Gallery to see the MFA shows. I had gotten a heads’ up on one of them, from Corey Antis, a Vox Populi member who wrote us about his show. We’ve covered his Vox shows on artblog. ...
Space is the place at Vox Populi
Beautiful backyard scene in Nadia Hironaka’s Crack. Note the satellite dish, air conditioner, tv antenna (?). The mix of old and new, the voyeuristic view through the window, the snapshot of a time and place that tells nothing. Space — internal, external, fairy tale and architected — is on the table at Vox Populi this month. Looking at the work here, I kept feeling like Marty McFly in Back the the Future when Doc would explain the space/time continuum. Sure, Doc, whatever. Let’s just get this jalopy moving. It’s apt that space is an issue though since Vox the gallery ...
