SUMMARY:"Salvage Stories" Opening reception
DESCRIPTION:Seven sculptors transform the mundane trash of contemporary society into sculpture that ranges from emotional resonance to historical allusion\, grounded earthiness\, and musical innuendo. Though their decision to repurpose discarded detritus connects to the environmental movements of our time\, more significantly\, these seven artists have chosen upcycled materials because of the compelling textures\, colors\, and indeed also mystique of the items’ utilitarian origins. This show is an exhibition of contrasts between the “high” and “low” of society’s creations\, the destruction of consumerism and the discoveries of art\, the ugly and the beautiful\, the serious and the playful. With skillful twists of form\, manipulation of abstraction\, and subtle – and sometimes even quite direct – references to the figure\, these sculptors bring the long-forgotten stories of human refuse into the poignant personal stories of the artist\, and in the process\, turn the ashes of our manmade world into poignant works of art. Curated by Alice Zinnes and Carol Diamond \nABOUT THE ARTISTS \nEric Banks– Using everything from lint to rusty pipes\, Eric Banks creates unified raw constructions of hope within decay and humor within life’s tortured complexities. \nKen Butler is a musician-artist. Recombining disassociated found objects\, he constructs – and often performs on innovative musical instruments\, transforming our useless waste into objects of whimsy\, joy\, and rhythmic musicality. \nIn Carol Diamond‘s artworks\, found street “junk” of metal\, glass\, concrete\, fabric\, and wire mesh expresses tensions that synthesize into a vision of unity\, repair\, and wholeness. \nBonny Leibowitz produces objects\, installations\, and paintings utilizing manmade and organic materials in ways that often disguise their origin\, blurring the boundaries between the manufactured and the natural. \nReferencing ancient artifacts\, Shari Mendelson’s glistening vessels\, made from plastic bottles\, are so elegant\nand authentic\, that their humble origins are all but impossible to believe. \nWith repurposed cardboard boxes\, concrete\, and sand particles\, Mark Van Wagner’s sculptures suggest archaeological\, architectural\, and anthropomorphic metaphors of conflict and ruin\, protected within a shield of humor and restoration. \nFragility and healing are themes that characterize Shivani Patel’s sculptures and wall pieces. Assembled from scavenged metals\, umbrellas and found rods\, old jewelry\, and other sundry things\, they evoke an intimate poetry of twisting costume design\, and the ornate details of ancient religious architecture\, reflecting her family’s Hindu-Indian heritage. \nABOUT THE CURATORS: \nAlice Zinnes has had seven solo NYC exhibitions\, as well as shows upstate and beyond.  She is a tenured adjunct full professor at Pratt Institute\, and writer of @Entropvisions\, a blog about art exhibitions. She has been an environmentalist her whole life. Between 2007 and 2014\, she was at the center of the burgeoning anti-fracking movement\, and more recently\, she served as the Sustainability Coordinator in her department at Pratt.  She has received awards from The VCCA\, Cummington Community for the Arts\, and The National Academy of Design. \nCarol Diamond is an artist and educator based in New York City.  Her current body of work focuses on hand-built sculpture made from found materials.  Awards include a Purchase Prize from the American Academy of Arts and Letters\, and the National Academy Museum’s Edwin Palmer Prize.  Her art writing has been published in journals such as Art Critical and Two Coats of Paint. Diamond’s artwork is included in public and private collections\, including the Portland\, Oregon Museum of Art. \nRuin\, reconstruction\, and rebirth come into play in the spontaneous processes of these 7 artists – processes open to subconscious unveilings – and which present as enigmatic expressions of the rich mutability of materials. \nFor the exhibition’s closing event\, Ken Butler will perform his original music on some of the sculptural instruments he has made. \nOpening Reception: Saturday\, August 2\, 4-6 pm\nClosing Event and Ken Butler Musical Performance: Sunday\, Sept. 14\, 2-5 pm
