Leon Golub will exhibit Time’s Up, a painting consisting of fragmented images, based on themes of power and vulnerability. Nancy Chunn, who uses visual metaphor to comment on world events and the power of the media, will exhibit Spring Cleaning 1999, relating to Kosovo, Columbine, and the Star Wars sequel. Rico Gatson, in two videos based on Hollywood and black exploitation movies, mines cultural attitudes embedded within the conventions of film entertainment. Ida Applebroog references art history with a female gaze in a multi-paneled painting titled Modern Olympia (After Manet). From her new series of fictive histories, Eleanor Antin will exhibit The Death of Petronius from The Last Days of Pompeii, a panoramic color photograph of an elaborately staged recreation of decadent Rome. An artist who blurs the boundaries between sculpture and architecture, Allan Wexler will display Scaffold Stones, which consists of groups of beach stones and their miniature wood supports. Carl Fudge will exhibit Dirac, based on the image of a contemporary Japanese robot toy, which has been transformed to the point of indecipherability, its figure skewed and flattened against a fourteen-foot white ground -- a fallen robot warrior.
Gallery Hours: Tuesday through Saturday, 10:00 – 6:00, Monday by appointment. Summer Hours in July and August: Monday through Thursday, 10:00 – 6:00. Friday, 10:00 – 3:00. The gallery will be closed on July 4th and 5th.
