January 12–March 3, 2012
Opening reception: Thursday, January 12 from 5:00–8:00 pm
Gallery One
Steven Laurie, Zeke Moores, Brandon Vickerd
Clutch
The exhibition bands Steven Laurie, Zeke Moores and Brandon Vickerd together as an artist pit crew with the gallery as their ersatz garage. Using industrial fabrication, bronze casting and kitbashing, the artist’s sculptures reflect aspects of North American muscle car culture, addressing both its appeal as a blue-collar status symbol while also eliciting the negative socio-economic and environmental impacts associated with the automobile.
Gallery Two
Lauren Hall
With Crystal Column and Clear Shrines of Pearl
With Crystal Column and Clear Shrines of Pearl continues Lauren Hall’s penchant for transforming common post-industrial building materials into exceptional and unexpected sculpture. Alternately referencing extremes of topography ranging from remote arctic landscapes to sunny tropical beaches, for this project Hall proposes a new sculptural work that responds to the context of the gallery space.
