Gallery I: Sylvia Netzer, Redux
In Redux, Sylvia Netzer exhibits Grapolites, a monumental sculptural work from her 1996 exhibition Miasma Morph with a series of new large-scale pieces entitled Wall Necklace. Formally and conceptually both works that are a grouping or community of “individuals” that agromulate together for a common good. As Netzer resolves complicated technical issues presented by the challenges of working with clay and ceramics, she also addresses issues of human communication and plays of power.
Gallery II: Joan Ryan, What We Forget to Remember
Joan Ryan’s paintings and drawings depict nostalgic images of childhood crashing into present day realities. Using interiors decorated with recognizable contemporary imagery of adolescence, class pictures and children’s drawings, these idyllic memories interact with the paraphernalia of war. Her juxtapositions reveal the complexity of our cultural identity and actual heritage.
Gallery III: Luisa Sartori, Circles, Triangles, and Then…
Circles, Triangles and Then…, is a collection of works on paper, drawings, and wood panel pieces reflecting Luisa Sartori’s enduring fascination with geometry throughout her recent bodies of work. Her most recent works explore the esthetic use of geometry: geometry as “form generating” and ornamental. Sartori investigate sthe construction process of decorative patterns: how circles and triangles, assembled by combinatory rules, generate invisible frames that open the way for more complex patterns and forms to emerge.
