[Un]Seen at Fountain Gallery
Posted on May 20, 2013
[Un]Seen, a new group exhibition, opened at Fountain Gallery on Thursday, May 23, 2013. The diverse show, featuring works by Fountain Gallery artists and by visiting artists, was curated by Elyse Goldberg, Senior Director, James Cohan Gallery.
"In our tech-driven, mechanistic age we live knowingly in multiple realities. The personal, social, political, cultural, and cyber world has collapsed conventional notions of linear time and image transmission,” said Ms. Goldberg. "We cast our reflections on the physical world and look to see what returns in the shadows. One has to focus, be curious, be fearless, to look, to make the unseen seen.
"The contemporary and historical artists in this show are an eclectic group, with diverse viewpoints and various modes for making art. In commonality, these artists share a curiosity with the unseen – creating works that raise questions about thought, vision, social and personal...politics, and metaphysical states of mind or spectacle as they relate to the human condition."
Among the works represented in this show are text-based pieces by Simon Evans, Nelson Fernando Figallo, and Matthew Higgs; representational work by Pedro Pascoinho, Leo Fitzpatrick, and Robin Taylor; a sound installation by Kristin Oppenheim; sculpture by Dove Bradshaw; and photographs by Berenice Abbott, Iaeden Hovorka, and Francesca Woodman.
Also on view in [Un]Seen are works by Davida Adedjouma, Maya Deren, Ann Fischman, John Hadley, Bruno Jacob, Greg Johnson, Ed Loftus, Katie Paterson, Joseph Russo, and Deborah Standard.
This program is supported, in part, by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, and by generous support from The Renate, Hans and Maria Hofmann Trust.
The Fountain Gallery Visiting Artists Program
The Fountain Gallery Visiting Artists Program was established in 2008 with support from founding sponsor Glenn Close.
