HOLTON ROWER Focus paintings, Pour paintings May 3 - June 20, 2013

HOLTON ROWER Focus paintings, Pour paintings May 3 - June 20, 2013 OPENING: Friday, May 3rd from 6-9PM The Hole is proud to announce the second solo exhibition by Holton Rower at the gallery presenting two bodies of work side by side. Rower's "Pour paintings" debuted here last May with a full-gallery survey of the diverse results achieved by the artist through his innovative and deceptively simple process of pouring hand-made acrylic paints over wood. In conjunction with ten new pours that elaborate upon this approach, Rower will introduce a new body of work titled "Focus paintings" that, perhaps, are equally simple in construction and complex in effect. The fact is, we do not know how the artist achieved these seemingly out of focus paintings, whether they were poured over a curved support, doused with urethane, or dried on a vibrating surface; the method of their contruction will remain an artist's secret so the viewer can focus on the visual effect they produce and their quizzical relationship to the history of abstract painting. Like the pours, that are no more like Morris Louis than like Lynda Benglis, the focus paintings are superficially somewhere in between Richter and Hirst, or perhaps even further back like a Kandinsky quivering field of pure color or Emile Nolde poppy field. The relationship between the two bodies of work is challenging as well: we here have decided that they both come from an artist who is a true "chemist of paint" and a sculptor of paint more than a traditional abstract painter.

Alice Aycock Parrish Museum Opening review

 

Alice Aycock Drawings:Some Stories Are Worth Repeating

Ayice Aycock, The Parrish Crowd

 

The opening of Alice Aycock's Drawings, at the Parrish Museums last night was well attended. Alice's exhibition was interspersed with sculptural maquettes depicted with in the drawings. An understanding of Sacred Geometry was explored; possible astrological or mystical influences could be interpreted from this display. Incorporated into the images, as an understanding of Art, Design & Architecture stated as artistic metaphors seen in engineering, reflections into Di Vinci, M.C. Esher, and from my viewpoint the early Russian Avant Garde art.   Additional vast cultural influences may be seen in the works reflective of Thangka paintings, Persian Mosaics, possible engineered space and time warps. Aycock's unusual mechanical perspective was in part noted as foray into computer imagery. The artists expression is labeled as...Aycock is an artist who thinks on paper,” writes Terrie Sultan ... “Her spectacular drawings are equal parts engineering plan and science-fiction imagining. As in all of her work, fantastic narrative writings weave in and out of her images, inspiring her production of sculptural objects, drawings, and installations.”... Sultan Terri, http://parrishart.org/ 4/21/2013 Parrish Art Museum’s Adjunct Curator Jonathan Fineberg, Gutgsell Professor of Art History Emeritus at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign  Urbaan, organized this exhibit. The exhibition's slant or emphasis seems to reflect Urbana's academic environment, as a great Social Science university possibly not fully capturing the intend of the works as displayed. Language as Metaphor, seen to be developed with in a statistical analytic lens possibly seen as the computer or engineering may have influenced this curators understanding, spin, and or story retelling with in the exhibition as dialogue. I felt the display of Alice Aycock's work, Some Stories Are Worth Repeating, shown in an almost static atmosphere not in keeping for what is an outstanding etherial, out of the box, collection of works. Do visit the Parrish on line or in person to enjoy Alice Aycock’s works.

New York Woman in Film & Television needs your help to preserve "Seven Women Seven Sins" Join now

HELP!!!

There are just 3 days left for you to rescue this sinful film by women!

Raised so far: $2,717

Goal: $17,000

http://igg.me/at/7w7s

Make a contribution now, and send this to everyone you know. DONATIONS 

WILL NOW BE MATCHED!

New York Women in Film & Television?s WFPF contributes to an 

understanding of the importance of women in film history. WFPF has 

saved over 100 films in the last 15 years.  Do not let this one be lost

forever! 

All donations are tax-deductible 

Without preservation Seven Women Seven Sins will continue to decay 

until it can't be viewed at all! Helping to preserve this film will 

allow for access and public viewing through screening prints and DVDs.

About the Project

Seven Women Seven Sins brought together some of the world?s most renown

women directors: Helke Sander (GLUTTONY), Bette Gordon (GREED), Maxi 

Cohen (ANGER), Chantal Akerman (SLOTH), Valie Export (LUST), Laurence 

Gavron (ENVY), and Ulrike Ottinger (PRIDE). Each filmmaker chose a sin 

to interpret as they wished. The final film reflected this diversity, 

including traditional narrative fiction, experimental video, a musical,

and a radical documentary.

Funding Goal

$43,000 is needed to preserve this important work. However, we have 

already raised $25,000 in cash and in-kind services. Our goal is to 

raise $17,000 through this campaign.
