FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Brooklyn - AG Gallery is pleased to present "it's such a small world...", a group exhibition of six artists who deconstruct elements of our surroundings and transform them into extraordinary landscapes. Each work expresses its own imagined scene and results in the idea of contemporary utopia.
Leah Beeferman draws black and white factory like scenes that are all interconnected to construct the whole narrative. Beeferman collaborates other artist, Michelle Higa, to give her drawings life as an animation work and keep the story continuing.
Michelle Hailey composes her own imaginary landscapes out of different sources from magazines, postcards and photos from the early to mid 1900s and tourist and gardening books from the 1960s. The collaged landscape suggests the viewer an unexpected experience, but yet, with a familiar memory.
Tadashi Moriyama's vision of cityscape offers the viewer to experience multiple time and space. By incorporating the elements of Ancient Eastern paintings with the idea of futuristic geology in imaginary city, his drawings express chaotic states of contemporary psychology.
Michael Schall is interested to draw how "instruments of human industry attempt to somehow alter the surface of the earth". His drawings depict exchanging process between industrial power and natural aesthetics.
Sarah Trigg paints layered scenes that are combined from the photo archiving of different sites on the same day. Googling a day to see the images of different events that happened on the same day and combining them in Photoshop to create a scene as a starting point of her painting, she challenges contemporary tools for archiving system in photography.
"it's such a small world..." will be on view at AG Gallery through February 4th, 2007. The gallery is located at 103 North 3rd St. (between Berry and Wythe Ave.) Hours: Sun. 12-8pm Mon.-Sat. 12-10pm
