Do
you know that feeling when you are kind of lost in the woods and you're
looking around in uncertainty? It is similar to when you are in the
grocery
store blankly staring up and down the aisle. Or when you start an
internet search for something and after a few clicks, hours have
disappeared.
Tune
into the open system of self-organizing patterns and relationships.
Find yourself temporarily lost in the biorhythms. Go on autopilot. It’s a
state
of multiple focal points.
Capability
Brown explores natural systems through technology, humor and artifice.
By altering one’s perspective everyday systems become elaborate
mysteries.
The familiarity of these processes are warped with the child-like joy
of experimentation.

MFA Alum Lee Arnold and Mark Brosseau, Curated by Kelsey Halliday Johnson at Tiger Strikes Asteroid
"Walking an exciting new line
in two-dimensional practice,
Brosseau is a painter who has
updated his studio tools to
include a digital tablet as a
new drawing device for ideas
and compositions; on view will
be a larger-scale painting
“Tacky”, a series of small
panel paintings, and a framed
tablet with a slideshow of
recent digital drawings. Using
various layers that are
sandwiched together in his
works or collided against one
another in painterly space,
Brosseau makes investigations
into the psychological and
emotional spaces of
abstraction. By constructing
his work in a graphic but
physical way through gesture,
color, and drawing-based
techniques, he creates foreign
formal spaces and forms that
birth a new world. Here
questions of relationships,
humor, identity, and
environment are raised –
pointing to the elements of
our human experience with the
world around us that are
perhaps best summarized
outside of concrete language."

Jayson Musson opening at Fleisher/Ollman April 1st
|
|
Working
in a variety
of media
including
video,
painting,
textiles,
music, and
performance,
Brooklyn-based
artist Jayson
Musson returns
to
Fleisher/Ollman
for his first
solo
exhibition at
the gallery in
three years.
Musson will
present a new
series of
Coogi sweater
paintings,
exploring the
in-between
spaces of high
art versus
craft,
intentional
versus found
abstraction,
and, most
significantly,
the notion of
ownership of
African-American
popular
culture. These
works are not
paintings at
all, but
recycled Coogi
sweaters—wildly-colored
knit
garments—mounted
on stretchers
and
transformed
into pictures.
This, in effect, operates as a form of colonization over another corner of Black memory, and any reverence these garments received, at least in my opinion, is highly undeserved. I come to the Coogi material as a junk collector of sorts. I consider the sweaters ‘cultural detritus’—just another commodity on a long list of objects many people are manipulated into coveting or consuming...ultimately, this work is about a form of existential disconnection, that even as one retreats into memory in order to counteract the trauma of the present, even these memories are occupied by our enemy. Thus, the alienation of the self is continued even further.
Jayson Musson has had solo exhibitions at Salon 94, New York; Fleisher/Ollman, Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, Marginal Utility, and Space 1026, all in Philadelphia; and Dazed & Confused Magazine Gallery, London. Musson and Alex Da Corte collaborated on an exhibition at the Institute of Contemporary Art, Philadelphia, entitled Easternsports, in 2014. Musson has been featured in numerous group exhibitions at venues including Contemporary Arts Museum, Houston; Grey Art Gallery, NYU, New York; Galerie Perrotin, Paris, France; Postmasters, New York; Institute of Contemporary Art, Philadelphia; West Galeria, Den Haag, The Netherlands; Grimmuseum, Berlin, Germany; Fleisher/Ollman, Philadelphia; Hyde Park Art Center, Chicago; Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, San Francisco; and Cincinnati Contemporary Art Center, Ohio, among others. Musson received his BFA from the University of the Arts, Philadelphia in 2002 and his MFA from the University of Pennsylvania in 2011. He attended the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture in 2011.
Paige Adair featured in 2016 Slingshot Festival
On view from March 31 - May 7, 2016
Daughter of the Cave explores an underground wanderlust, investigating how we use stories to make explicable the mysteries of our own bodies and the real/imagined spaces we traverse with them. This piece depicts the female protagonist’s explorations through the labyrinthine dreamscape of an imaginary cave. This subterranean feminist saga uses documentary video from Ruby Falls, paintings of the cave, and visual materials research. Musician, Mason Brown composed the score for the video by sculpting together a soundtrack by using exclusively documentary audio recordings gathered during Speleogen’s excursion to Mammoth Cave National Park. Speleogen is the caving branch of artist collective Callosum, an Atlanta-based creative collective that applies methods across media to explore the intersections between art, technology, and the senses.
Paige Adair lives and works in the Atlanta area. She received her MFA in Time Based Media and Painting from the University of Pennsylvania and has been exhibiting throughout the US.
This year, the SLINGSHOT Festival takes over downtown Athens, Georgia March 31 – April 2 2015. Spread over 5 city blocks and dozens of venues, SLINGSHOT spotlights international, national, and local acts on stage, boundary pushing artworks throughout the urban environment, and tech talks with leading innovators. SLINGSHOT also hosts a dedicated comedy night and film screenings. For more information and a schedule of events, visit slingshotathens.com

Keenan Bennett and Rich Hogan (both MFA '16) @ New Boon(e) Friday 2/5
This February 5th, New Boon(e) will open it’s doors for Lady In The Water II: Maiden Voyage, an exhibition & collaboration by artists Keenan Bennet & Richard Hogan. Lady In The Water II: Maiden Voyage is the latest iteration of an ongoing collaboration between artists Keenan Bennett and Rich Hogan. Building on a previous collaborative exhibition inspired by the 2006 M. Night Shyamalan cinematic flop, Lady in the Water and plot-twisting Arthurian character lady in the lake, these artists take on legacy, expectation, hubris, and possibility in a variety of media.
Lady In The Water II: Maiden Voyage is comprised of kinetic sculpture, video, photography, and drawings that create an uncanny space, that is both family-freindly and a tad gross.
The exhibition will open for First Friday, February 5th from 7-10pm
Gallery Hours:
Saturday, Feb 6th from 12-3pm
Sunday, Feb 7th from 12-3pm
Weekend Events:
Candying Making Workshop via Experimental Pedagogical Community Building

ECHOLOCATION feat. Richard Hogan, Doa E. Lee, Sarah Legow, and Heather Raquel Phillips (all MFA '16) Opens 2/5 @ Grizzly Grizzly
In Eunyoung Lee's paintings, amalgams of recognizable, quasi-universal symbols and unruly yet familiar abstractions, oscillate between almost and barely recognizable. In site-specific installations and collage- and text-based pieces, Sarah Legow juxtaposes seemingly arbitrary found objects in complex visual phrases. Heather Raquel Phillips creates stylized, staged photographs, primarily portraits that revel in saturated color and burlesque visual drama. Her recent work contemplates the adoption of disguise and personae, and behavioral miming more generally. Richard Hogan's photos interrogate canonical approaches to both the style and subject matter of photography, moving towards a transcendent critique of not only the medium itself, but also a broader history of image- making. Through his seemingly unassuming investigations, the unique abilities of photography to imitate, heighten, and subvert reality are gradually revealed. This is the second exhibition in The Incubation Series, which takes its name from the idea that graduate school is a laboratory where one can test out new ways of thinking. Fostered by Keenan Bennett, Haely Chang, Kirsten Gill, and Hilary R. Whitham, the program aims to showcase the work of MFA candidates, while offering an opportunity for art history graduate students to expand their curatorial practices. 319 N 11th Street, 2nd Floor, Philadelphia PA |

Reception: Fri, Jan 15, 6-8 pm
Gallery 263
Hello
All
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year!
Proud
to announce an
exhibition with
my good friend Jessica
Slaven of
new, colorful
and visually
charged abstract
works on paper
at Gallery
263 in
Cambridge, MA.
In
our work the
processes of
weaving,
unweaving,
embroidering,
dyeing, and
sewing—typically
reserved for
fabrics and
fiber—have come
to inhabit our
drawing and
painting
practices. I
have used
inherited
clothing to
create quilts
and embroidered
pieces, and have
since moved
towards
examining the
weave structure
of fabric and
translating it
into 2-D. Sewing
was integral to
Jessica’s
sculptural work,
and for four
years she built
her career as a
commercial
textile
designer,
weaving and
putting textiles
into production.
Now, she adapts
those skills and
experiences for
painting.

Super
Altogether Gone, 2015,
oil, oil enamel, pigment
on linen, 72" x 60"
|
Pentimenti Gallery is excited to present
JACKIE TILESTON: Everything is Everything, a solo exhibiti
This
show includes paintings on
linen, mixed media works on
paper, and digital prints.
Each piece acts as a gateway
to spaces that are vast and
all encompassing, while also
feeling strangely close and
familiar.
Calling
on the interaction of
contrasting visual elements
and art historical
references, Tileston has
created an atmosphere that
plays by its own rules,
while paralleling our own in
a heterotypic fashion.
Ecosystems in themselves,
they are alive with opaque
mandala-like ornamentation,
trails that surface and
recede on vaporous threads,
murky rifts, fields of
nebulous color, and
landmasses built of thick
oil paint. Each element is
actively engaged with the
others, sometimes violently,
other times harmoniously.
These visual structures
succeed in developing a
synchronized habitat of
“otherness”, a place that is
collectively neither here
nor there.
“Painting
has an ability to open up
alternative visual
experiences that can
specifically align us with
internal spaces, altered
states of consciousness,
euphoria, complexity, and
the unpresentable.
Abstraction, especially, is
an expert intermediary,
translating the nonverbal
and not quite visible
realities into perceivable,
material form. Paintings can
function as runners between
realms, physical and
philosophical both.” (Tileston)
Jackie
Tileston received
her BFA from Yale
University, New Haven,CT,
and her MFA in painting from
Indiana University,
Bloomington, IN. Tileston
has had exhibitions at
the Discovery Museum,
Bridgeport,CT; Contemporary
Art Museum, Houston, TX;
Schweinfurth Memorial Art
Center, Auburn, NY; Rockland
Center for the Arts, West
Nyack,NY; The Rutgers
University, Camden, NJ; and
more. Her work is in
collections including: JP
Morgan Chase; Museum of Fine
Arts in Houston; Dallas
Museum of Art; West Virginia
University Art Museum, and
more. She has been awarded
the Joan Mitchell Foundation
2011 Painters and Sculptors
Grant. The 2006 John Simon
Guggenheim Memorial
Foundation Fellowship for
Painting as well as many
others. Jackie Tileston is
represented by Pentimenti Gallery
in Philadelphia.
