Hello, Seekers @ Black Ball Projects

HELLO, SEEKERS
A GROUP EXHIBITION FEATURING
AMELIA BAUER, ERIC GRAHAM, AND PARSLEY STEINWEISS

Viewing the American experience through the lens of “spiritual seeking,” Black Ball Projects is pleased to present an exhibition of three artists whose work is in dialogue with searching. Counterculture movements of the 1960’s and 70’s and earlier ones associated with the occult all produced spiritual seekers who strove to redefine the human condition and challenge cultural orthodoxies by looking both forward and backward in time.

Hello, Seekers examines three artists that are engaged with a type of seeking that relates to the individual’s role in experiencing and/or believing in transitory phenomena. Each of their practices fabricates meaning and belief systems from fragments of technology, history, nature and mythology. The resulting work questions the nature of experience in our modern world and is in dialogue with American spiritualism.

EACH ELLIPSE INCLUDES A POINT @ Transmitter Gallery

EACH ELLIPSE INCLUDES A POINT

Janine Biunno, Emmy Mikelson and Parsley Steinweiss

CURATED BY SARA JONES

August 14–September 13, 2015

The work in this exhibition deals with transitions, boundaries, and voids, drawing attention to the liminal spaces in- between reality and illusion, as a means to destabilize the perception of physical space, digital representation, and architecture.

Both materially and conceptually, the artists in this show are engaged with questions of synthetic imitation, copying, reproduction, subjectivity, perception, boundaries, physical relationships and the after-image.

Transmitter Gallery is located at: 

1329 Willoughby Avenue, 2A, Brooklyn, NY 11237 

Hours: Friday 6pm-9pm, Saturday and Sunday 12pm-6pm or by appointment unless otherwise noted

I'm happy to be included in Offline, a group show with a wonderful group of artists curated by Sarah G Sharp.  Artists include: Beth Letain, Carolyn Lambert, Martha Clippinger, Molly Dilworth, Parsley Steinweiss, Sarah G. Sharp, Stacie Johnson.  Read the press release below:
 

In the 2012 ArtForum article “Whatever Happened to Digital Art?” Claire Bishop described what she sees as a lack of critical response within the artworld to the digital era: “Why do I have a sense that the appearance and content of contemporary art have been curiously unresponsive to the total upheaval in our labor and leisure inaugurated by the digital revolution? While many artists use digital technology, how many really confront the question of what it means to think, see, and filter affect through the digital?” OFFLINE proposes that part of this “invisible” response to the overwhelm of information, access, images and mutable identities that come with life lived on the internet and mediated through a screen, includes a re-envisioning and invocation of the very thing the digital era suggests we leave behind: the “real.” The show presents seven artists who respond to these contemporary “upheavals” by reframing the mundane, concrete material of their lived experience in light of contemporary metaphors like rhizomatic relationships, the recombinant, virtual reality and the network. Without nostalgically fetishizing the analog or relying on anti-technology rhetoric, these artists use familiar forms like abstract painting, sculpture, performance and photography to re-imagine our new everyday in concrete terms and provoke altered perceptual readings of our “offline” experiences. We are reminded that our concrete experiences and identities are both re-framed by and persist alongside our online “lives.”


Stacie Johnson’s tightly designed paintings play with our perceptions of illusionistic space. Smooth surfaces, precisely rendered shapes and hand-made gradients reference the hyper-real while subtle shifts between painted surface and the wall challenge our perception of space, flatness and illusion. In her Photo Objects Parsley Steinweiss also investigates perception, illusion and surface. By combining photographic reproductions of various textures with “real” materials Steinweiss’s images force us to flip between an easy recognition of familiar objects and the sense of the uncanny that surrounds digital production methods.

Exhibition @ Broadway Gallery

If you are around NYC October 1st - 15th my work will be shown in a group show called, Derived, Borrowed, and Stolen, Curated by Basak Malone and Sara Wight, at the Broadway, 473 Broadway, 7th Floor.

Featuring: Sarah Sharpe, Katie St Claire, Parsley Steinweiss, Sara Wight and Jordan Tate

Opening Reception Thursday October 1st 6-8pm

Derived, Borrowed, and Stolen brings together artists whose work addresses the nature of originality and its complicated relationship with the visual arts. The central theme and title is inspired by the well-known quote, “talent borrows, genius steals,” which is said by some to have come from none other than Picasso (rumor has it that it might also have been Morrissey’s, of the rock band Smiths, or even Oscar Wilde’s). The uncertainty surrounding the origins of the quote is ironically apt. Linked by this common thread, the works in this show raise questions about what constitutes creativity in today’s world, one in which the Internet has rendered copying and plagiarizing in the visual arts easier and more socially acceptable. Over a plethora of visual styles, these innovative artists find new ways to pay homage to their artistic inspirations while producing wildly inventive pieces. The viewer sifts through the rich layers and discovers, through the eyes of the artist, the difference between simple pastiche and ingenious reinterpretation.
