Erika Suderburg, from Some Small Groups 1974-2009
|
Offramp Gallery is pleased to present two installations by Erika Suderburg, Some Small Groups 1974-2009 and Landscape for il Sassetta, from January 10 - February 7, 2010, with an opening reception on Sunday, January 10, from 2-5pm.
Some Small Groups 1974-2009 consists of an infinite number of 1" square photographic prints culled from 35 years of personally captured archived photographs. They are grouped in various categories that mutate according to whim, time of day, wind speed, solstice orientation and flights of fancy.
Some Small Groups was initially launched in 2000. It is a modular piece designed for perpetual rearrangement in an intimate domestic space. Each image is on the verge of not quite being able to be completely discerned. There are currently 250 images of which the categories: Bush, Wheel, Human, Light, Fin, Path, Animal, Rain, Sky, Tree, Water, Nipple, Horizon & Topiary have been selected for inclusion in this first ever public viewing of these formally secret archives.
Landscape for il Sassetta is a site specific video installation that makes use of a disused fireplace in the library. Suderberg describes Landscape for il Sassetta as "a contemporary approach to the contemplative disciplines, a fascination with fire and flying monks converge in an examination of place, habit and aspiration."

Joey Santarromana: Stare
January 10 - February 7, 2010

Joey Santarromana, Bleu, Les Malambing: an installation (video projection), 2009
|
Offramp Gallery is pleased to present Stare, a new video installation by Joey Santarromana, from January 10 - February 7, 2010, with an opening reception on Sunday, January 10, from 2-5pm.
Stare is an exercise in aggressive viewing, where chroma and image are at odds; one will replace the other based on the individual's efforts of looking at the work. Stare consists of two video portraits projected adjacent to each other, both saturated in color, making the image a challenge to see. In addition, the viewer is also being washed in the colored light of the projection as he/she stands between the two portraits -- in effect becoming enmeshed in the exchange.

Notes (& Gossip)

Artist Susan Sironi whipped up this beautiful confection for the opening of Small Works on November 8. Thanks again, Susan!

Thanks to everyone who made it to the November 8 opening of Small Works. It was a wonderful afternoon. Among those in attendance were artists Kim Abeles, Jacquie Dreager, Joyce Kohl and James Griffith, to name a few.
I had a fun visit here at the gallery last week with Kristi Engle, of Kristi Engle Gallery, her husband, Daniel Brodo and artist Fumiko Amano.
Opening this Sunday, December 6 from 4-7pm is The 210 Show: Exhibition and Holiday Sale at Project 210 Gallery. There's lots of work by a diverse group of artists, each with a very affordable price tag of $210. I stopped by Wednesday as artists were dropping off their work -- it's going to be a very fun show. I already have my eye on a couple of pieces.
