"IMAGE + OBJECT" EXPLORES THE ART OF ASSEMBLAGE AT GALLERY PROJECT
September 4, 2005 - In its fifth exhibition since opening in April of 2005,
Gallery Project presents Image + Object, an exploration of the narratives,
rituals, visual metaphor and imagery, and imaginary spaces, constructed from
the flotsam and jetsam of our worlds through the art of assemblage.
Working with materials culled from flea markets and junk stores or altered
by new digital technologies, the scavenger art of assemblage evokes
curiosity and wonder with its unique capacity to frame, overlay, and
juxtapose imagery.
Presented in this exhibition is the work of Paul Andrews, John Gutoskey,
Scott Hocking, Frank Pahl, Clinton Snider, Graceann Warn, and John Whipple.
Andrews, Gutoskey, and Warn combine found objects with digitally altered and
enhanced images to create new meaning in enigmatic space. Pahl employs
electronic technology to make music machines and multi-media sound
installations from old toys, doorbells, and an array of found instruments.
Whipple's distressed wooden busts wear cast-off leather accessories and
zippered mouths. Hocking and Snider, in their Relics series, assemble 20th
century industrial and urban detritus into eloquent reliquaries of Detroit's
changing history.
Frank Pahl, also a prolific composer and musician, will perform at the
opening reception.
