Opening Reception: Nishiki Sugawara-Beda's "Somewhere Around There"

Amos Eno Gallery is pleased to present Somewhere Around There, a New York debut solo exhibition of work by a Dallas-based artist Nishiki Sugawara-Beda from her latest series KuroKuroShiro, “black-black-white” in Japanese. The series title is indicative of her process using Sumi, a traditional East Asian ink, to compose painted worlds in which to be immersed and commune with an inner, quieter spirit.

Born and raised in Japan, Sugawara-Beda was steeped in a poetic Japanese aesthetic valuing symbolic interpretation over direct representation. It is from this lyrical, and oftentimes philosophical, Japanese sensibility that Sugawara-Beda creates. Employing the landscape as a conceptual framework, her works negotiate the tension between light and dark, hard and soft, abstraction and figuration. Throughout this exhibition, the artist also considers the relation of past to present, influenced by traditional Japanese scroll paintings that imply time relative to space. And yet, her works transcend place and time, offering no clear suggestion of a narrative or relationship between forms.

Somewhere Around There features works in varying scale from small, intimate paintings on handmade gesso-covered panels to hanging scroll works on paper in the Kakejiku tradition. In Sumi ink with its distinctly rich and subtle tones, the monochromatic compositions are minimal in color and confounding in form, encouraging reflection, introspection, and meditation. And as the viewer encounters and navigates the unknown, new possibilities emerge. In the process, the viewer is transported “there,” referenced to in the exhibition’s title, a portal in the material providing access to the spiritual.

Full Exhibition Price List accessible here.

Nishiki Sugawara-Beda is a Japanese-American visual artist based in painting and installation. She draws upon her Japanese heritage to explore themes related to culture, language, and spirituality rooted in Zen Buddhism. Connecting across space and time, she experiments in ancient Japanese materials and techniques including Sumi ink, Kakejiku landscapes, and rice paper, to merge them with abstract and expressive forms familiar to the modern Western aesthetic. Sugawara-Beda has exhibited her work in venues including the Spartanburg Art Museum (SC), Morris Graves Museum of Art (CA), Dennos Museum (MI) and Amos Eno Gallery (NY). Publications include New American Paintings, Expose Art Magazine, AEQAI, Athenaeum Review and the London Post. Awards including a Seed Grant, Diversity Fellow Program, International Enhancement Grant, Idaho Arts Fellowship, Sam Taylor Fellowship, and Tusen Takk Foundation residency have supported her artistic research. In addition to national conferences, including the College Art Association, Sugawara-Beda also gives keynote speeches and workshops to cultural organizations including Pilipino American Unity for Progress, Inc., OCA-Asian Pacific American Advocates, and Business Council for the Arts, Dallas. See You There, a full-color art book surveying her work from 2012 to 2020, is published by Execute Magazine in 2021.

Opening Reception:
Hyper/Reality at Amos Eno Gallery

Reception for Hyper/Reality, featuring artists Ligia Bouton, Grant Johnson and Aaron Wilder, curated by Audra Lambert

In-person reception Friday, 10/8 from 6-9 pm at Amos Eno Gallery

56 Bogart Street

Light Refreshments to be served, free and open to the public

Exhibition on view from Oct 7 - Oct 24, 2021

Hyper/Reality is on view at Amos Eno Gallery from 10/7-24, 2021. Featuring works by new member artists Ligia Bouton, Grant Johnson and Aaron Wilder, curated by Audra Lambert, the exhibit forms a dialogue with reality and its discontents. The opening reception will take place on Friday, 10/8 from 6-9 PM. Light refreshments will be served. Works on view find a range of expressions as each seeks to analyze how reality can be skewed and re-interpreted utilizing new media, photography, mixed media, painting, collage, sculpture, and installation.

Baudrillard’s 20th century art criticism introduced the concept of the hyperreal, which marks the ascendance of the Simulacrum over lived reality. Hyper/Reality confronts the many ways in which the hyperreal has overtaken the impact reality for civilization in the present day, delving into digital and wireless technologies that have pervaded our view of what is, and is not, real. Works on view in Hyper/Reality present altered visions of the ‘real,’ as defined by digital, natural and social phenomenon defining our everyday lives. Sculpture by Ligia Bouton embraces industrial materials examining legends of the Old West, viewing these myths as appropriated narratives with a bracing humor. Works by Grant Johnson layer artificial intelligence with manually captured imagery, questioning how we experience and analyze our surroundings and what information may be left out of the conclusions we surmise. New media, photography and installation work by Aaron Wilder asks us to reconsider narratives and how they become co-opted, censored or re-interpreted in ways that may escape our notice, and how these layered realities impact spaces concomitantly environmental and deeply personal.

Opening Reception, Ulrike Stadler: A Retrospective

Opening Reception in honor of Stadler's life and artistic practice with family present

Friday, September 3rd

In-person reception from 5-8 pm at Amos Eno Gallery

56 Bogart Street

Light Refreshments, Artist's daughters will be present

Free and open to the public

Exhibition open from Sept 2nd- Oct 3rd, 2021

Multidisciplinary artist Ulrike Stadler (1942-2019) was celebrated as an accomplished artist and served as a member of Amos Eno Gallery beginning in 1996. This retrospective, on view at Amos Eno Gallery from September 2nd through October 3rd, opens with a reception in memory of the artist on Friday, September 3rd from 5-8pm. Stadler’s retrospective honors her work as a painter, print maker, and sculptor, exhibiting works spanning across the past thirty years of her career.

Stadler exhibited with Amos Eno for over twenty-five years. Her work was also shown at Wingspread Gallery (Northeast Harbor, Maine) over twenty years. Her legacy encompasses numerous solo and group shows, and her work is held in private collections in the U.S. and abroad.

Born in Germany in 1942, Stadler received a degree in Art from the Klosterschule in Hamburg, and then studied Philosophy and Medieval Languages at the University of Hamburg. In 1965, Stadler immigrated to New York City, living in the Upper West Side and renting a loft on the Bowery to house her art studio; sculptures representing this period are included in the Retrospective exhibit. Twenty years later, Stadler moved to Maine permanently, where she continued to work throughout her life.

In 2001, Stadler opened the eponymous Stadler Gallery for Contemporary Art in Maine’s Carrabassett Valley, where she made a commitment to providing artists in all stages of their career with dedicated exhibitions. She became an anchor that helped revitalize the town’s arts community. It was in this region of northern Maine where she completed the bulk of the collection currently on display at Amos Eno.

Stadler experimented with many techniques and approaches to transform the surface of the canvas. With this innovative mindset, she began using natural materials such as burlap, birch bark, and kozo fibers. She even adapted pigment application by changing the paint itself, from oil-based and encaustic (pigmented beeswax) to egg tempera. Stadler was enthusiastic in finding ways to express compositions, at times moving off the canvas entirely and experimenting with gelatin monotype printmaking. “I always like to learn and teach myself new things,” she once remarked. When Stadler decided to start painting with encaustic, she reflected, “I bought myself a book and a minimal set of supplies and went ahead. It became a terrific journey into totally new territory of texture and color.”

“Her art was often an experiment,” explains Pelham Art Center-exhibiting Melita Westerlund, internationally known sculptor, fiber artist, and decades-long friend and neighbor of Stadler’s in Bar Harbor, Maine. It is in this sense of forging new horizons that Amos Eno presents this look back across the astounding breadth and scale of works that Stadler produced over her active career full of curiosity and exploration.

Opening Reception Friday, May 21st, from 6-8 pm

Amos Eno Gallery proudly presents “Traces,” an exhibition of mixed-media installation by Tulu Bayar. Join us Friday, May 21 from 6-8 pm for the opening reception of Bayar’s most recent installation, which draws upon her decade-long exploration of drawing with photographic film, and utilizes meditative repetition to communicate the idea of oneness: all binary concepts share and are connected to one source. In contrast to an examination of the physical, Bayar’s work focuses on the spiritual essence of wholeness and mysticism that are deeply rooted in Rumi’s teachings. The artist will be creating ephemeral drawings to gift visitors to her opening in tandem with pianist's Sezi Seskir, who will be performing a work by Philip Glass, "Two Pages" (1968). Cage's performance instructions for this work are sparse, allowing the performer to repeat each pattern cell as many times as they wish, meaning each performance is slightly different, thereby allowing different patterns to emerge from the repeated pattern cells.

Bayar's exhibition “Traces” is composed of several mixed-media works meticulously created from photographic film, ink and resin. Each exhibits an exploration in calligraphic abstraction, performance, drawing, and ebru (Turkish marbling art). Bayar’s meditative compositions of photographic film respond to the traditional Islamic understanding of the spirituality of text, and to Islamic manuscript painting. Repetitious play with material and form lends a performative element to the works, while their intimate size simulates an intensely personal interaction. Regardless of your familiarity with this language, the beauty of the symbolic expression comes to the fore.

Bayar’s practice is informed by her experiences and immediate context as an immigrant artist, and her work is deeply influenced by both her native and adopted cultures. Exoticism, otherness, hybridism, homogeneity, pluralism and containment are some of the concepts that she has been exploring throughout her practice. Bayar is interested in engaging with artistic strategies that blur the boundaries between strict categorizations and binary situations.

In “Traces”, Bayar draws with photographic films, as opposed to exposing, processing and enlarging the materials in the darkroom. She sees this work as a journey on a contained surface. She explains, “Drawing allows one to go back and reflect. The gestural record on the surface stages a moment of existence that is like no other moment. By containing that peculiar moment, I feel like I am able to memorialize the process."

The work draws an analogy between how we experience unconscious emotions through repetition and the accumulation of marks, and between the intonation, hesitation, and inflection of sound (which occur independent of sight, then is generated by the mind and mediated by perception). This way of working with unexposed photographic films gives Bayar a privileged relationship to the non-visible, as the work embodies and exposes the thinking process. “I usually start each work with a social issue in mind," reflects Bayar. "Gradually, the pragmatic develops and disintegrates, leaving behind a sense of the assembled material that transcends the literal. This opens a path to connect with the viewers on an emotional level, and it is also the point at which I assume the work is finalized”, she explains.

For Bayar's bio, please see "On View".

Seskir received her first degree in piano in her native, Ankara, Turkey. She went on with her studies in Lübeck Musikhochschule and then completed a D.M.A. degree with Malcolm Bilson in Cornell University. She concertized widely in Europe and the US. Seskir has given guest lectures at schools such as UC Berkeley, University of Toronto, Williams College and at the Royal Conservatoire of the Hague among others. Her articles appeared in collected editions titled “Schumann Interpretieren” and “Schumann Studien 11” respectively by Studio Punkt Verlag. She is currently an assistant professor of music at Bucknell University and is an editor of Schumann's keyboard works for the Schumann complete edition for Schott and Bärenreiter publishing houses. Her CD of three Beethoven violin sonatas with Lucy Russell recorded on period instruments appeared in 2020 by the Acis label and garnered enthusiastic acclaim.

"Irja Boden: Fractured Light" Opening Reception at Amos Eno Gallery

Opening Reception with the artist Irja Boden present

Sunday, March 19th from 6 PM

In-person at Amos Eno Gallery

56 Bogart Street

Free and open to the public

Amos Eno Gallery invites guests to the opening reception, "Fractured Light": an exhibition of new ceramics by Irja Bodén. This is Irja's first solo exhibit with the gallery, and the show's title is in reference to Leonard Cohen's song Anthem, which declares, “There is a crack . . . in everything; that's how the light gets in.” These works emphasize a particular dimension of ceramics: as clay hardens, it gets fragile. Clay in that way echoes our society; as it hardens, it gets fragile and brittle, but it is within its cracks where a hopeful light may shine through.

Bodén uses stacking as a method of spatial organizing The stacks run between three to forty-five inches, richly textured, wheel-thrown and hand-built. Many of the works contain unique loose objects precariously perched upon larger vessels to express that within balance inheres precariousness. Some are layered richly with glaze, others are made in alternative firings of raku. Bodén's work alludes to the natural world and domestic interiors. Ceramics are an unpredictable material and it is largely out of one's hands how it will appear after firing. But it is the unpredictability which keeps her interested in the material, as it echoes life and because clay, like our bodies, retains memories of how it has been treated. It is not unusual for her to subject her works to multiple firings, since she enjoys experimentation with surface techniques.

Irja Bodén (b. Sweden) holds a BFA from SUNY Potsdam, magna cum laude, in visual arts and a BA in Social Science from Lund University, Sweden. Recipient of several grants, awards, and residencies, her work has been exhibited in the US and abroad. Bodén was awarded an 2021 Artist Resource Trust Fund from Berkshire Taconic Community Foundation. She was an artist in The Immigrant Artist Biennial 2020; Here Together!, NY. Bodén is currently based in New York's Hudson Valley.

Heidi earned her MFA from University of Iowa and her BFA from University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. She makes her home in Maryland with her husband, Paul Chuffo, and their two children, Max and Maya.

Elifnaz Caliskan, MPP, is a Senior Project Manager at an international development firm focused on providing expertise in conflict and post-conflict countries. She holds particular interest in the role of diplomacy, negotiations, and human capital investment in conflict prevention and transformation. A native of Turkey, she has lived across 8 cities around the globe across 3 continents. She is currently baesd in Washington DC, and is a proud alumna of University of Maryland (MPP and BA). Caliskan sees herself a storyteller and aspires to help marginalized communities to tell their stories.

Professor Regina Roof Ray is Associate Professor of Psychology at Harford Community College in Bel Air, MD. Roof-Ray brings her expertise in social psychology and will explore how phenomena such as personality, cognitive inflexibility, confirmation bias, and misinformation effect. She has presented at national conferences including the National Institute on the Teaching of Psychology and was a founding organizer of the Mid-Atlantic Undergraduate Psychology Conference. She holds a BA in behavioral science from Messiah College, studied at Temple University and Daystar University in Nairobi, Kenya and holds an MEd in counseling from Millersville University.

Dr. Stephanie Hallock PhD, is a professor of Political Science at Harford Community College in Bel Air, MD. Dr. Hallock brings 20 plus years’ experience teaching American Government at the college level.

Opening Reception: "Sign of Frankenstein"

Amos Eno Gallery is pleased to host the opening reception of "Sign of Frankenstein," curated by gallery member artist Robert McCann. Join us for light refreshments; artists and curator will be present.

A signal hovers in the evening sky. A door becomes Death’s arm. Patterns emerge and dissolve in oil. Picnic forks bleed into fire’s smoke. A familiar stranger is stitched together and animated with lightning.

Amos Eno Gallery is pleased to present Sign of Frankenstein, an exhibition of over twenty recent paintings by seven New York City based artists. The artists do not share a singular theme or mode of representation or abstraction. They are loosely affiliated by their layered practices. In this show viewers are invited to consider painting as an aggregate media, to look to what is combined or collected.

Deep down in the roots of painting is the alchemy of mixture and hybridity. The canvas is turned into an arena for intimately handling questions and ambiguities. It is the coalescence of ways and means. A container for gathered stories, myths, and memories. And the compilation of moments, hours, and days.

Artists in the exhibition include Charity Baker Noga Cohen KellyAnne Hanrahan Tine Lundsfryd Jesse McCloskey Nicole Parcher and Adi Blaustein Rejto .

Robert McCann has exhibited his work around the USA for over 20 years and he became an old dad for the first time in 2020. He is an Associate Professor in the Department of Art, Art History & Design at Michigan State University, where he teaches in Painting and Foundations.

Free Virtual Screening of Documentary Film:
Invisible Hand

Amos Eno Gallery has partnered with Public Herald studios to offer gallery patrons an exclusive FREE virtual film-screening of ‘Invisible Hand’ in correlation with the Towards a New Animism exhibition. A limited number of tickets will be available in-gallery (limited to 100) for the virtual screening, which can be done from any personal web-browsing video/audio device this month.

The film can also be rented on-demand after the exhibition, for as little as $1 at https://www.invisiblehandfilm.com/

From the film's press release:

Mark Ruffalo narrates a new documentary that critics call a “paradigm shifting” story about the global battle between Nature and society. Ruffalo, who signed on with Public Herald Studios as Executive Producer of INVISIBLE HAND in 2016, has spent years as a water defender and environmental advocate. “More and more, we are waking up to the fact that the world around us is being poisoned,” Ruffalo said. “The water, air and land have become toxic dumps, and the law is rigged against us.”

Covering the Rights of Nature movement that began in Pennsylvania, USA in 2006, spread around the globe, and is now coming back home, INVISIBLE HAND weaves together fights in Pennsylvania and Ohio, the international fight against the Dakota Access Pipeline at Standing Rock, North Dakota, and the adoption of Rights of Nature into Ecuador’s national constitution. Cradled in both Haudenosaunee prophecy and free market economic theory, the result is a film that asks, “If a corporation has rights, why can’t an ecosystem?”

“People are adapting to these perils in daring and creative ways – and winning,” Ruffalo added. “INVISIBLE HAND shows how to fight the forces that put profit above all else while addressing the root cause of our flawed system.”

"The system is rigged to destroy Nature. But people are defying it and shaping another world.” - Director Melissa Troutman.

Opening Reception:
Towards a New Animism

Opening Reception for Towards a New Animism, a new exhibit featuring works by artists Candace Jensen, David Nakabayashi, Kathleen Vance, Jo Watko & Joyce Yamada, with Grant Johnson in the Project Space

Light Refreshments to be served, free and open to the public

Exhibition on view from Jan 6-30, 2022

Amos Eno Gallery is pleased to present Towards A New Animism, which includes the work of 6 artists whose practice observes and responds to the vital and infinitely complex relationships between humans and the living planet. The show also explores the possibilities for shifts in cultural focus, especially in the context of our universal crises; climate change, and ecosystem degradation and destabilization.

“Animism” is an anthropological term used to define and categorize worldviews and spiritual beliefs which attribute soul or spirit to places, creatures and material. It implies that places, creatures and matter have animacy or agency, even if rather different from our own. The artwork included in Towards A New Animism offers both critiques and subtle alternatives to the flawed perspectives of anthropocentrism and human exceptionalism, and posits moving toward a new ecological baseline; if we recognize the qualities of agency in non-human beings and matter, then navigating new relationships with them, and acknowledging their rights to exist and thrive, becomes imperative.

This assembly of visual work joins conversations already happening between scientists, philosophers, activists, and thinkers of all stripes— synthesizing views which acknowledge that Life is self-generating, complex, deriving from relationships of both competition and co-operation, and insistently re-forming balance moment by moment through all interactions great and small. There was a time when some in the sciences thought that life was nothing more than a mechanical process, like a machine— and so many of our cultural views still echo this. However, we are now invited to regard that as a radically outmoded idea, and to instead see life as a creative process, and to creatively participate and collaborate. This vision of humanity within a continuum of all beings related to each other, entwined and entangled, dependent on each other in mysterious and unexpected ways, is not a new idea exactly, but in this dire time, new ways of enacting and embracing this idea could be a vital and inspired turn.

And how do we get there? We start where we are; we become engaged in an erotic ecology with place and life through simple acts of observation, through reverent contemplation, and through curious attention— such as we see here in paint, writing, collage, sculpture, photography and recording. We build relationship to place, establish an awareness of beauty. Towards a New Animism proposes that a humble appreciation of complexity and cultivation of wonder will make possible what all of the knowledge of our dire circumstances hasn’t been able to do on its own— to inspire us to protect the long list of ‘things’ we love, and enable the list to grow ever longer.

Opening Reception with the artist Rosemary Meza-DesPlas

Friday, April 23rd

Virtual reception from 5:30 PM EST

In-person reception from 6-9 pm at Amos Eno Gallery

56 Bogart Street

Free and open to the public

Amos Eno Gallery presents, Marching Across Your Lawn, The Grass is on Fire, an exhibition of new works by Rosemary Meza-DesPlas, on view at the gallery from April 22-May 16, 2021. A virtual exhibition tour and presentation will take place at 5:30 PM on Friday, April 23rd via Zoom (link here) followed by an opening reception from 6-9 PM at the gallery’s location on 56 Bogart Street in Brooklyn, NY.

Meza-DesPlas’ current artworks are centered upon the act of marching: it is the simplest use of the physical body as a political force. Researching the history of women-led marches, Meza-DesPlas considers the role of the individual within a demonstration. Vast numbers of clamorous bodies in motion translate to a robust show of strength and determination; however, eventually, the individual goes home to their daily existence. When the protest is over, the pussy hats put away, signs disposed of and costumes packed up – is political activism embraced as an ongoing individual practice?

Figurative artworks, with minimized or nonexistent facial features, convey the individual subsumed by the larger group. Compositionally, these feminine bodies reflect the varying tempos and pauses of a demonstration thus illustrating the visual structure of marching. Meza-DesPlas’ nude figures exude vulnerability yet defiance; furthermore, they allude to art historical images of partially nude women representing political ideology. In the words of Beyoncé: ‘Okay, ladies, now let’s get in formation.’

Hand-sewn fiber works are featured in this exhibition. Meza-DesPlas’ embroidery of hair speaks to material culture, its relationship to identity and the sociological meaning of hair. A self-taught fiber artist, she approaches the process of stitching hair from a drawing perspective. Watercolors and a new video piece round out the exhibition. Bleeding watercolors are stained and layered to create figurative forms; the textural application of color conveys fleshy blemishes. "These United States", a video piece, begins with a montage: drawings emphasizing the faces of silenced women. A voice-over narration of an evocative mantra accompanies the imagery followed by three stanzas of poetry performed by the artist.

Latina artist Rosemary Meza-DesPlas currently resides in Farmington, New Mexico. She has a MFA from Maryland Institute, College of Art (Hoffberger School of Painting) and a BFA from the University of North Texas. Her artwork has been exhibited at numerous galleries and museums throughout the United States, Europe and Asia. Articles about her artwork have appeared in several publications including the Huffington Post, Interview Magazine, and Wall Street International. Meza-DesPlas parallels the themes in her visual artwork with poetry and spoken word performances. Upcoming, in 2022, her artwork will be featured in the exhibition (curated by Karen Gutfreund) Agency: Feminist Art and Power at the Museum of Sonoma County in California.

Virtual Reception, Heidi Neff: "The Long Goodbye"

Virtual Reception from 6:30 PM EST on Friday, 1/22 via this Zoom link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87350010998

Free and open to the public.

Join artist Heidi Neff as she discusses her process creating "The Long Goodbye": leading up to the election, Neff decided to make one frame-by-frame animation every day beginning on Election Day and ending on Inauguration Day itself. It is by nature a personal diary reflecting on all of the possible outcomes - and resulting worries – of this time period. Like the several months preceding it, there was plenty of madness to spare on a daily basis. Neff shares the YouTube premiere of this completed work as part of this virtual reception, followed by a Q&A with Amos Eno gallery director Audra Lambert. Please join us for the half hour long program and feel free to ask the artist questions at the conclusion of the virtual opening!

This exhibition also features limited edition prints available for purchase. An Artsy link will be added here once these works are live and available for sale (once the exhibition is open.)

Sur/Reality at Amos Eno Gallery

Reception for Sur/Reality, a new exhibit featuring works by artists Joyce Yamada, Nishiki Sugawara-Beda, David Olivant and Kahori Kamiya curated by Audra Lambert

In-person reception Friday, 10/29 from 6-9 pm at Amos Eno Gallery

Light Refreshments to be served, free and open to the public

Exhibition on view from Oct 28 - Nov 14, 2021

Sur/Reality is on view at Amos Eno Gallery from 10/28-11/14/2021. Featuring works by new member artists oyce Yamada, Nishiki Sugawara-Beda, David Olivant and Kahori Kamiya , curated by Audra Lambert, the exhibit forms a dialogue with reality and its discontents. The opening reception will take place on Friday, 10/29 from 6-9 PM. Light refreshments will be served. Works on view find a range of expressions as each seeks to analyze how reality can be skewed and re-interpreted utilizing new media, photography, mixed media, painting, collage, sculpture, and installation.

Sur/Reality posits how alternative views of reality can enhance our awareness of what is and what could be. In the 1927 Surrealist manifesto, André Breton shares his view that Surrealism seeks to combine the real world and dreams into a ‘super-reality,’ or an absolute reality. Surreal visions of the world integrate impulses from the unconscious into reality, forming a composite worldview reflecting our perception of the world around us.

Works on paper by Nishiki Sugawara-Beda harness the subconscious mind and spiritual intuition to produce monochromatic marks, and framing the natural world as both subtle and sublime. Kahori Kamiya’s work embraces textural dissonance commenting on life’s idiosyncrasies presenting works that comment on the distinctive experiences of breastfeeding. David Olivant’s works exert a vision of a world fragmented against itself. His collages are composed of often dissonant elements that present a comprehensive yet contradictory view of how we perceive reality. Paintings by Joyce Yamada reflect on our tumultuous relationship with the natural environment, mining a deeper understanding, through intuition and instinct, of humanity’s relationship to the surrounding landscape.

In a world demanding that we accept often-conflicting realities and assimilate them into a universal worldview, Sur/Reality shifts our focus away from the idea of truth, instead speculating on what it is that we take for granted, and exposing how it can be impermanent, faltering, and unreal.

Opening Reception Friday, June 18th, from 6-9 pm

Amos Eno Gallery proudly presents Wall Sandwich, an exhibition of new works by Chris Esposito. An opening reception will take place Friday, June 18th at the gallery from 6-9 PM in our new location in the center hallway at the 56 Bogart Street in Brooklyn, NY. The solo show presents new work featuring industrial materials at a range of scales, making visible what is regularly invisible in the surrounding environment.

This exhibition shows the artist’s inspiration in dialogue with Gordon Matta-Clark’s practice from the 1970s engaging with New York City’s spaces of decay by highlighting dilapidated buildings and condemned architecture. In these works, Matta-Clark cut into sections of his birth city’s urban landscape to reveal its “anarchitecture.” In Wall Sandwich, Esposito has taken up the mantle of what could be called the "Anti-Matta-Clark" - not because he is operating as the opposite of Matta-Clark, but because his is an intervention that reveals the material composition of these removed sections. Esposito concentrates on the interior and exterior of the walls, the space in between, the endless layers of palimpsest both polished and tarnished. It is a study of the soul of New York City, and as such Esposito takes the matter and material of those Matta-Clark interventional cuts and places this detritus into the context of the white cube contemporary art gallery.

Works on view in Wall Sandwich combine layers of found materials from locations across New York City, exerting the poignant presence of lived environments from the city’s neighborhoods and bringing the outside in to confront the viewer. This makes it impossible for the viewer to escape the truth behind Art, Capitalism, Commercialism, and Consumption and the effect it has on this City - and every other city that fails to control the juggernaut of development and capitalist "progress." Where Matta-Clark brought our attention to the cuts, Esposito focuses our gaze on the guts, where can be found the pentimenti of healing and the record of rise and fall surrounding us in the urban landscape.

Queens-based artist Chris Esposito is a native New Yorker whose practice employs an anti-aesthetic process of selecting specific found materials, which are then either constructed or deconstructed to create a juxtaposition of culture. Esposito holds an MFA from Queens College and currently teaches Studio Art at both Queens College and SUNY Maritime. in the past he has been known to make a racket with other like minded individuals in basements and lofts that culminated in a recording studio with a subsequent album. He concluded the business of music and keeping a band together wasn’t cutting it and made a career shift to the physical manifestation of paintings and objects. With a hermetic approach to his studio practice he often finds escape from the city on his motorcycle.

"Irja Boden: Fractured Light" Closing Reception at Amos Eno Gallery

Closing Reception of "Fractured Light" with the artist Irja Boden present

Sunday, April 18th from 4 PM

In-person at Amos Eno Gallery

56 Bogart Street

Free and open to the public

Amos Eno Gallery invites guests to the final event celebrating, "Fractured Light": an exhibition of new ceramics by Hudson Valley-based artist Irja Bodén. This is Irja's first solo exhibit with the gallery, and the show's title is in reference to Leonard Cohen's song Anthem, which declares, “There is a crack . . . in everything; that's how the light gets in.” These works emphasize a particular dimension of ceramics: as clay hardens, it gets fragile. Clay in that way echoes our society; as it hardens, it gets fragile and brittle, but it is within its cracks where a hopeful light may shine through.

Bodén uses stacking as a method of spatial organizing The stacks run between three to forty-five inches, richly textured, wheel-thrown and hand-built. Many of the works contain unique loose objects precariously perched upon larger vessels to express that within balance inheres precariousness. Some are layered richly with glaze, others are made in alternative firings of raku. Bodén's work alludes to the natural world and domestic interiors. Ceramics are an unpredictable material and it is largely out of one's hands how it will appear after firing. But it is the unpredictability which keeps her interested in the material, as it echoes life and because clay, like our bodies, retains memories of how it has been treated. It is not unusual for her to subject her works to multiple firings, since she enjoys experimentation with surface techniques.
