WRECK TANGLE

Consume. Resin Cast Amy Leach

Wreck Tangle; What happens when a simple form gets complicated. 

While a rectangle is a common shape, often seen as a format for photographs, paintings and drawings, what is a Wrecktangle? An imploded shape? A computer screen? A formal study of slipped angles? A documentation of wreckage, disasters on paper? Artists explore the "shape" of things through various mediums such as painting, video, embroidery, poetry, screen printing and drawing. 

India Abbot, Erika Adams, E.Bay, Kristen Blaker, TW Collins, Devon Clapp, Pat Falco, Jerry Fressola, Nick Garder, Raul Gonzalez the Third, Amy Leach, Tom Longtin, Jeff McRae, Lorraine Mears, Will O'Connor, Rhonda Ratray, Maple VanOrden and Greg Winterhalter

WISH YOU WERE THERE

The title of the show is a riff on Pink Floyd’s 1975 album Wish You Were Here. That seminal album was composed of songs that expressed loss and disenchantment, much of which was directly about the absence and tragic life of Syd Barrett. Wish You Were There was chosen because of its power to suggest the past tense, alluding to an event that once was. Perhaps an event that was missed can never truly be understood or appreciated by the absent individual(s). The collective works in this exhibition strive to re-create or examine a shared experience that is hard to quantify or represent. These experiences all come from populist events such as: live music, theatre, film and sporting events.
