He has had solo exhibitions at the Delaware Center for the Contemporary Arts in Wilmington, Delaware, Mount Saint Mary’s University in Emmitsburg, Maryland and Montana State University in Bozeman, Montana. His paintings contain tactile elements of viscous paint and destroyed passages of illusionistic space, worn down by abrasives, exist next to flat areas of clean color.

Jeremy Bailey: Less Important Portraits
We would never attempt to speak for famous new media artist Jeremy Bailey, especially when he can speak for himself. “As an artist, when I look at crowdfunding sites like Kickstarter.com all I see are the creators, where are the backers? I’ve been an artist long enough to know that art is about who pays for it. How can important people be satisfied helping others without being recognized themselves? The powerful and wealthy patron should be celebrated the way they have been in the past, in grand portraits commissioned and hung on the walls of museums and galleries. I am revealing the true inner essence of over 50 backers of a successful KickStarter campaign I ran in February with their very own 21st century augmented reality portrait. As a Famous New Media Artist I have access to the latest techniques and technology, everything necessary for you to truly express yourself is at my fingertips. I’ve been making myself look amazing in augmented reality self portraits for over 10 years and I’ve decided it’s time to help others look as great as I do.” Open June 14-July 7, 2013.

Matt Friedman: The Devil Tricked Me
Studio10 is pleased to present The Devil Tricked Me, an exhibition of work by Matt Freedman opening on Friday, May 10. The exhibition is organized around the recent publication of Relatively Indolent but Relentless, a graphic journal Freedman wrote last Autumn. In July 2012 Freedman learned that he had Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma, a rare and slow growing cancer. Treatment entailed thirty-five days of radiation and weekly doses of chemotherapy over seven weeks. Just before treatment, a friend gave Matt a blank notebook and suggested he should fill it up. Matt completed the therapy and the notebook as well. He said, “It seemed like it would in the end give me the last laugh over my cancer treatment.” All thirteen works take as their subject bad luck. A significant component of the show is the notion of disability. This idea is communicated by hand written signs of explanation, which function as the conceptual framework for the exhibition. Freedman’s sign details the reasons for the restrictions he placed upon himself for the creation of the work: each work consists of totally “de-skilled” labor .

Paintings and Work On Paper
In her work, Sonomi Kobayashi strives to express the relationship between humanity, nature, earth and the universe. More personally, her creative process is a meditative and reflective of a moment in time. It also tells her a great deal about herself and the world around her. Viewers often find universality in Kobayashi’s paintings, which depict shapes and symbols found in nature. The use of round and circular forms represents the cycle of life and their common occurrence in the universe. The majority of Kobayashi’s work is oil on unprimed canvas. By mixing the paint with poppy or stand oil and mineral spirits, she creates a multitude of layers, representing metaphorical links to the past, present and future. Kobayashi’s work on paper is painted without layers using Japanese pigment and traditional Japanese writing ink, called Sumi, as well as pencils. By dropping and blowing the ink very carefully, she creates the expressive beauty of life full of accidents and chances. The varied colors, fine lines and organic shapes in Kobayashi’s art reflect her sensibilities and emotions. These feelings are often uncertain and intimidated by the challenges the future may bring, but ultimately inspired and hopeful. Open April 5-May 20, 2013.

A solo exhibition of new works on paper by Ross Racine.  Imagined as models for planned communities, as much as aerial views of fictional suburbs, Racine examines the relationship between design and actual living experiences.  These highly detailed, realistic depictions, subvert the apparent rationality of urban design, exposing conflicts that lurk beneath the surface.  Expounding upon the suburban example, the works in this exhibition are a consideration of aspects of design, the city and society as a whole.

Through repetition and meticulous placement, base materials like copper wire and masking tape take on a greater form, creating visual stability while inviting close visual scrutiny. Crisscrossing lines, concentric circles, and repeating forms become their own miniature works, elemental to the final form yet definitive in their own right.  Open through April 21, 2013.

18 Drawings and 1 Painting
Studio10 presents Paul Pagk’s recent work. This solo exhibition comprises eighteen works on paper and one large oil painting.  The works on paper are made through a particular three step process. This begins with Pagk’s preparation of the paper’s surface with an oil and rabbit skin based gesso. For Pagk, the gesso becomes the primary matrix upon which color is painted. Lines are marked into the oil paint using a pencil or a silver crayon to excavate to through to the layer of gesso. Flecks of dried gesso float like burr at the edges of the engraved line raised by the pencil point. With this system Pagk created the exhibited series -Search for Mengfu-. Each work was executed on Pagk’s studio floor where he usually draws and the series concluded when the last sheet of prepared Gesso paper was used. Open April 12-May 5, 2013.

Atmospheric Pressure: A Young Artists Collection
The pressures of the world are all around us – from the external forces we experience day to day to the personal stresses we place upon ourselves. Growing up, figuring out life and how to make a living are pressures that we may all encounter as time goes by. However, pressure can also be present in our lives in a more delicate sense. The pressure of the paintbrush on canvas, the pressure of the sculptor’s hand, the pressure on a camera’s button. All of these forces are actually one of the first steps to creation. Curated by Brittany Natale, Atmospheric Pressure: A Young Artists Collection, an exhibition of all types of art, explores and expresses how even just a tiny amount of pressure can birth creativity and produce quite wonderful things. It also acts as a vehicle to remind us that all pressure is not bad. Open April 12-May 5, 2013.
Opening Reception April 12, 6-8pm

Tim Zercie: A Family Conjuration
et al projects is pleased to present A Family Conjuration, an exhibition of recent sculptures by Tim Zercie. This is the artists first solo show with the gallery.Tim Zercie’s fabric beings are vessels for the esoteric, spiritual nature of symbols and rituals that help one connect to a potential higher supreme being. Fascinated by the Alchemy and evocation rituals of Qabalah as well as The Golden Dawn, Freemasonry, Rosicrucianism, Tarot, and Thelema Magick; Zercie has interpreted the mystical texts by creating physical entities and conjuring deities, angels and/or demons from a personal realm. The anthropomorphic sculptures are brought to reality, using sacred geometry, and symbols from inanimate matter. For Zercie, the act of creating these works is meditative in nature where both questions are raised and truths are revealed. The end result is removed but playful, personal yet universal. Open March 7-April 7, 2013.

Rust Belt
In Sean Hemmerle’s poignant photographs of theatres, banks, factories, and dilapidated houses in the “Rust Belt” the architecture becomes symbolic of societal issues that have been ignored for decades. Hemmerle’s stunning photos create a visual language—the texture of flaking paint, broken windows and the shiny reflections in pools of frozen water inside of vast industrial buildings— that instills in us a feeling of loneliness felt for these neighborhoods that have all but been forgotten.

CIUDAD SAUDADE, Architectures of Memory
Cuarted by Christian Berman, the work of this group of painters is a testament to a profound and thoughtful relationship with the outside world. The artists use precision and spatial understanding as means of access into their own inventiveness and emotion. Memory, longing, hope, and desire are traced by the architecture of each painter’s experience. These elements, deeply personal and at once universal, are made unique and relevant by the disparate styles, treatments of color and form, and moments of  improvisation. These works have more than a touch of magical-realism.  Life, nature, and imagination shift the architectural landscape, imbuing the concrete with the intangible presence of time. Open March 9-31, 2013.
Opening Reception Saturday, March 9, 7-10pm

North 10th Street, Room G, Brooklyn, NY 11211
Hours: Thursday – Sunday, 11am-6pm
Hal Hartley: Still Lives
Hal Hartley is an acclaimed film-maker who makes highly regarded independent movies and the stills that come from these are literally iconic. Not only portraying real life screen icons like Parker Posey, Martin Donovan & Adrienne Shelly but referent to and containing in a more complete moment, the bigger stories from both on and off screen. The stills encapsulate all of the themes of the larger story—love and death, alienation, crimes of passion—and they serve as a trigger to memory especially for those familiar with the original work. They are signifiers of things that we already know, stories we have already heard, symbols of the bigger picture used to evoke and reawaken memory. This is the true meaning of ‘icon’ as short hand for something far more complex than any one image could convey. Skink Ink Editions is delighted and honored to present a show of stills from Hal’s movies, 30 in all that will be exhibited in the gallery as prints and will form the basis for an edition that we will be presenting for sale. Open March 9-April 29, 2013.

Katie Teale: The Sea Is All Around Us
Studio10 presents The Sea Is All Around Us, a solo exhibition of oil paintings and graphite drawings by New York based artist, Kate Teale. In this series, Teale examines two vastly different subjects concurrently: the domestic space of her bed and theJapanese Tsunami of March 2011. She identifies and depicts the visual similarities between the warm folds of her bedclothes and the inexorable swell of the Tsunami caught in freeze-framed footage. The soft graphite of the drawings coupled with Teale’s smooth rendering of the water’s surface belie the wave’s inevitable destruction.  Threats to domestic stability, with particular reference to climate change, and the inexhaustible effort to find places where calm and equilibrium can be established are underlying themes. Open March 8-April 7, 2013.

Faces of Figureworks: Self Portraits
Figureworks is pleased to open the new year with over 50 self portraits from its contemporary and 20th century list of artists. Artists create self portraits for various reasons but frequently it is done as a reflective point in their career. Securing that moment in time when they feel the need to record their presence. Similar to a journal entry, it may manifest in a quick sketch such as the drawing Philip Evergood created in 1944 documenting his life threatening surgery or Byron Browne’s ink drawing of his model with added self at his easel. These sketches were not created for exhibition purposes and are often stashed away with other personal belongings. Oppositely, some are finely executed oils done during long studio hours of self reflection, like those by Ernest Fiene and Joachim Marx. Equally personal, these significant executions are intended to preserve a specific place and time. Open January 5-March 3.

Once inside, they become performers, moving through the space and playing the strings to find different ranges of pitch and timbres in the instrument. The sounds are generated synthetically but, as is the case with traditional acoustic instruments, the experience includes texture, space, color and movement. Each week, a different musician will do a performance exploring the possibilities of this new instrument, that surrounds both performers and audience. Open February 8-March 2.
