A walk-through video of the installation.

Based on the artist’s time spent while living in Sweden, Gracen Brilmyer’s latest show, “To Come from” is a site-specific body of work that sifts through memories while living abroad. Working intuitively within self imposed time constraints, Brilmyer embraces the unique possibilities and foibles inherent within the printmaking process.  Creating layers by printing over original drawings, paintings and other prints, the final pieces reference both reality and characters form the artist’s own imagined narratives. Drawing influence from traditional comic books, the passage of time is depicted as multiple points within a single panel.

Sarah Elliott presents:
Elastic strategies for making vertical moves on a horizontal trajectory and horizontal moves on a vertical trajectory

December 4th, 6-10pm.

Elastic strategies for making vertical moves on a horizontal trajectory and horizontal moves on a vertical trajectory

“Perhaps the immobility of the things that surround us is forced upon them by our conviction that they are themselves, and not anything else, and by the immobility of our conceptions of them. “
Marcel Proust, Swann’s Way

“Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana.”
Groucho Marx

Elastic strategies for making vertical moves on a horizontal trajectory and horizontal moves on a vertical trajectory is a model for discourse.

Elastic strategies for making vertical moves on a horizontal trajectory and horizontal moves on a vertical trajectory is also an event and the resulting exhibition at Knock Knock Gallery. This event will take place on on the evening of December 4th, 2009 and will include the reworking/rearranging/remaking of an installation over the course of that evening.

The installation is a collection of things arrived at through considering stairways, landings, living rooms and entrance ways, which Knock Knock Gallery is made up of.

Finally! Sorry it took me so long to get these up!

September 19th – October 3rd

Opening Reception: September 19th, 6pm to 10pm.

See More Glass: The End As The Beginning is the footing for a larger body of work that can be described as an abstracted organizational structure for the visual components of language and passage. Focusing specifically on metaphors and imagery surrounding the confounded Seymour Glass, the eldest sibling of the J.D. Salinger’s infamous Glass Family, this installation is an assemblage of texts, drawings, and prints on paper. Employing color and shape, a diagrammatic representation features both character and setting development to emphasize the importance of not only reading, but seeing through the lines.

AUGUST 29TH TO SEPTEMBER 12TH

OPENING RECEPTION AUGUST 29TH 6-10 PM; PERFORMANCE AT 7PM.

All That Rises
Erin Gigl & Meghan Dowd

All That Rises explores the precarious state of inter-personal relationships. Domesticity breeds the habit of consumption and manufactures roles that we that then take on as “identity”. Erin Gigl and Meghan Dowd have created work that is meant to confront this ever-changing presentation of ourselves according to outside expectation and acceptance.

This Friday we will be having a closing reception/party for Michael Hunter and Paul Cowan’s At Them Not Through Them.

Starts at 6, goes till 10.

It is a great show, if you haven’t had a chance to have a look, come by and do so!

-xoxo, Harley.
