Damian Rojo’s multi screen and photograph installation melds audio of heavy metal, Christian children’s choirs and field recordings of exorcism with a video of slowly dissolving, digitally manipulated photos of “perfect” flowers to provide a hypnotic and nostalgic accomplice to the very real and ever-present attack on our first amendment rights.

This New York artist presents approximately 30 works created solely from standard LEGO® bricks, transforming nearly one million colorful pieces into whimsical and awe-inspiring images. Sawaya’s devotion to spatial perfection elevates the commonplace toy into art, encapsulating action and motion.

The exhibition’s title reflects the spirit in which these artists set forth their practice, using unconventional materials, a playful aesthetic, and an inherent sense of humor to explore complex conceptual premises and social issues. Artists include Guerra de la Paz, Adriana Farmiga, Venessa Monokian and William John O’Brien.

Vanessa Tomchik’s work utilizes Greenscreen, a term for the filmmaking technique of using a green background for the purpose of replacing it with a different image. This series does just that, but also attempts to address the issues of looking and seeing. All together the paintings merge to create whole pictures from fragmentations, while the final product looks relatively seamless.
