Marketh thyne calyndyrs - Opening Saturday, May 5th
Friends,
Plan to attend the opening
reception for our next show which will take place Saturday,
May 5th, from 7-10pm. David Patton Los Angeles will present a group exhibition
of work organized by Los Angeles based artist Pamela Jorden. You are welcome
to print
out a reminder.
Featured in the show are seven artists, most who are from Los Angeles, as
well as the first two New Yorkers to present work under our lovely charcoal
ceiling. The show's title is inspired by two paintings of the same name, one
by Edvard Munch and the other by Jasper Johns. Johns invites us to "Take
an object, do something to it, do something else to it,…" and
this exhibition, inspired by Johns' cognizant connection to Munch, looks at
the conscious and the unconscious operating within the process of art making.
The exhibition includes painting and sculpture, and each artist employs an
idiosyncratic and tactile approach: the activity of weaving and knotting, following
or expanding on a pattern, finding an object, remembering a place, waiting
for the paint to dry. These are actions that incite responses.
Our current exhibition "Last Days of Suckerville: Mahagonny
Scene 20 / Letzten Tage der Netzestadt: Mahagonny Szene 20" by American artist Tom
Simpson will be on view until Saturday, April 28th
at 6pm. Click

Anniversary record listening - Sun. April 22nd
8pm
On this Sunday, April 22nd, we will be celebrating our ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY.
The truth. On that day, Earth Day, in 2006 we held an open house to show
off the new space, featured a photograph by Austrian artist Hans Schabus
and listened to recorded music by the group Earth. For our one year anniversary
we will present a record listening event. At 8pm we will present the album
"Chapter Two" (1970) by Roberta Flack. Like a film or video screening,
we will present some historical info of the album and then listen to it,
front to back, with a brief intermission to stretch legs and switch sides.
We'll have a few chairs available, but bring a pillow or yoga
mat or summat for comfort if you think of it just in case it turns out
to be more than a few of us.
