Something literally is in the air -- and it's not just the pigeons
lurking around the meat packers across the street, so please join us for
this ornithological group show featuring: asianpunkboy's owl
with bombastic diamond eyes whose aesthetic equilibrium lies between frail
beauty and virtual banal kitsch; Craven's rococo
bird paintings, which seem like greeting card fodder on the surface, are
so richly painted and resonate with honesty; Fernandez altered
taxidermic birds and branches that James Scarborough referred to
as the sculptural equivalent to Lon Chaney's metamorphosis into the Wolf
Man; Hall/Moline's large-scale laser and ink-jet
prints of baby birds that challenges the architectural space of the gallery
and its environs; Horochowski's sexually precocious,
coloring-book style painting of cowgirls with birds; Hundere's
Ornithomancy, a video animation of a sky filled with Taschen 747
airplanes set in motion by birds in flight; Loehr's opening night performance
and resulting installation continuing her exploration of her grandfather's
slides birds of Florida; Patch's Birds painting
adapted from a 1960s vintage amateur photography magazine; and Wilson's subtle,
abstract Aviary drawings and paintings inspired by her recent stay in London.
