Religiosity describes the numerous aspects of religious activity, dedication, and belief, through the act of practicing certain rituals, retelling certain myths revering certain symbols or accepting certain doctrines about deities and the afterlife. The artworks in this show suggest some of the ways in which contemporary artists use the iconography and narratives of various religious beliefs in order to express their own relationship to faith. Taking images and ideas that derive from a variety of religions the artworks on display both confirm and critique the spiritual and political position that faith, from Christian fundamentalism, to New Age Spirituality, occupies in today’s society. Philosophies are questioned as ancient myths and mysticism are reworked through the critical vision of contemporary art.<br /><br />At the end of this journey there is the art object. Each painting, drawing, sculpture, performance, etc. becomes a location where belief can be identified in the creation of a concrete object. The artist’s commitment to producing an artwork is an act of faith in itself. This act and the objects in the exhibition are manifestations of the daily rituals, the hope, despair, and glittering moments of transcendence that fill the lives of everybody.</span>thin ice collectivehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00840184326406970265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31088523.post-43367317628897425822007-02-10T14:52:00.000-08:002007-02-10T15:01:17.797-08:00Fast Forward, Rewind @ Gray Area Gallery 2/10<span style="font-size:85%;"><span>Hilary Pecis will have work in the group exhibition </span><span style="font-style: italic;">Fast Forward, Rewind</span><br /><br /><a href="http://myspace.com/grayareagallery" target="_blank">Gray Area Gallery</a><br />371 11st St., 2nd Floor<br />San Francisco, CA<br /><br />Opening Reception: Feb. 10, 2007 @ 7-12 midnight<br />Show Runs: Feb. 10 - Mar.2</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">Fast Forward / Rewind is a group installation<br />exhibition featuring a medley of mediums from sewn<br />paper to live radio transmission, psychadelic painted<br />landscapes and multi channel video. The show draws<br />conceptually upon the themes of time and technology,<br />from obsolete prophecies of the future to a fluid<br />fictional archeology. Based on a show that was<br />exhibited in New York in the Fall of 2006, seven<br />artists from east and west coasts play with spatial<br />and temporal planes for the Gray<br />Area Gallery.</span>thin ice collectivehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00840184326406970265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31088523.post-22278575693478810822007-02-10T14:46:00.000-08:002007-02-10T14:45:26.610-08:00Hilary Pecis in New American Paintings<span style="font-size:85%;">Check out the new Pacific Coast Edition of New American Paintings,<br />Issue #67 features the artwork of Hilary Pecis.<br />Preview it <a href="http://newamericanpaintings.com/" target="_blank">Here</a>.</span>thin ice collectivehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00840184326406970265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31088523.post-1169626726042167562007-01-24T00:00:00.000-08:002007-01-24T00:18:46.056-08:00Billy Kroft- Remnants at CELLSPACE gallery<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/1574/3348/1600/506913/01180749.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/1574/3348/320/897670/01180749.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.artbusiness.com/1open/011807.html">From ART BUSINESS</a><br />Artists recycle old magazines, street debris, snapshots, used clothing, furniture, junk wood, and more, transforming derelict remnants into memorable remnants. I gotta go with Billy Kroft here-- I liked his art carpentry before, I like it now. He elevates scrap wood by reconfiguring it into abstract angular geometric realms. Once so forlorn; now so fresh. Somebody give this dude a show. For purchase purposes, he's priced everything $285-- if I recall correctly-- eminently generous. Options include a stripped reincarnated swivelling vibra-chair that I personally tested and hereby proclaim to be a complete steal (also $285).
