EXHIBITION DATES: MARCH 22 - APRIL 1, 2013

Fowler Arts Collective is pleased to present Rocking on Empty an exhibition of work by New York artist, Hyun Jung Cho.

In her work, Hyun appropriates and repurposes found objects and everyday cultural ephemera such as tires, guitar picks, and chains and assigns them new, idiosyncratic meanings. She inscribes her works with catchy, self-devised phrases such as “Rocking on Empty,” “YA YA YA,” or “Hunky Funky Junky.” Most recently, Hyun has been making sculptural assemblage using discarded mechanical parts and other found objects combined with rock and roll memorabilia. She reconfigures and manipulates these elements until they have a new vitality while still referencing nostalgia in a slightly disorienting and playful way. Hyun’s improvisational works aim to reflect the living streets and situations that provided her sculptural materials and objects.

South Korean-born Hyun is a New York based artist who received her BFA with Honors from Sydney College of the Arts in Sydney, Australia, in 2009. She obtained an MFA from Parsons The New School for Design in 2012 and has exhibited in New York City and Australia. Most recently, Hyun’s work has been featured at Apt16 Artspace in Newark, NJ, Parsons the New School’s 25 East Gallery, and The Kitchen in Chelsea. For more information on the artist, go here: hunkyfunkyjunky.com

Please join us for Rocking on Empty’s opening reception on Friday, March 22nd from 7-9 pm. The exhibition will be on view from March 22 - April 1, 2013, and can be viewed by appointment. Contact us here to make an appointment.

Fowler is located in the historic Greenpoint Terminal building on the East River waterfront in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. The closest subway is the Greenpoint Ave. G train stop. Our address is: 67 West Street, Unit 216, Brooklyn, NY 11222

Fowler Arts Collective is pleased to present Morph, a group exhibition curated by Alicia DeBrincat and Jade Yumang of eleven artists working in the mediums of photography, sculpture, performance, installation, video, and painting.

Morph investigates the body as a conduit for different artistic and theoretical strategies, revealing the body’s fundamental role in comprehending our sense of self. Working across diverse mediums, these artists approach the body as raw material. They adapt it at will in order to explore identity, gender, religion, technology, disease, and the body’s role within the social matrix. The body is reduced to nothing more permanent than a modifiable facade, which can be constantly changed and morphed to resist or compliment outside forces.

In Dean Dempsey’s Bound, part of his In the Dark series, historical and future narratives are collapsed into staged photographs where the body is altered to exist in a liminal space. Collaborative duo, Sara Jimenez and Kaitlynn Redell encapsulate and perform “inbetweenness” as a space where identity is fluidly determined with other bodies and the environment through a video performance in Negotiating Bounds.

Continuing her investigation of gender binaries through Kuwaiti garments in The Abaya Series, Dalal Ani offers new sculptural and photographic documentations of performance that blend female and male garments into an indistinguishable creature that navigates public and private domains. In Mirror Stage, Kreerath Sunittramat represents a transgendered moment by employing street portrait artists in NYC’s Times Square to draw his portrait while shirtless, donning a skirt and holding various items that suggest breasts as he endures the winter cold.

In her new painting series, Post-Medical Eden, Alicia DeBrincat explores and captures fleeting occurrences where bodies willfully deviate from the norm and seek out modes of interaction while opening up a generative space of play, exploration, and resistance to societal mandates . In NRML, JIT Real exploits and defies aesthetic hedonism and pop culture as the trio gender bends their way through a concoction of music, visuals, construction, and performance, hypnotizing audiences to a chaotic trance.

Jade Yumang generates his own accounts of queer folklore through his compulsive repetitive manipulation of materials visualizing the queer form. He presents a new sculpture, Backward! March!, where he dismantles a military jacket and impregnates it with an excess amount of fake flowers and erect seersucker appendages. In Lavar Munroe’s Of a Lesser People According to Tyler, deities are created to conjure up and reclaim negative stereotypes of black culture through a Bahamian and American lens. Munroe transforms detritus materials, such as cardboard, into beautiful mythological gods and goddesses that challenge racial and class discrimination.

Please join us for Morph’s opening reception on Saturday, Feb. 16th from 7-9 pm. During the opening, there will be a durational performance by JIT Real. The exhibition will be on view from February 11th to 28th, 2013, and can be viewed by appointment. Contact us here to make an appointment.

OPENING EVENT: FRIDAY, DEC. 7TH, 7 - 10PM.

POSTCARD EXHIBITION + 2ND ANNIVERSARY BLOW-OUT + FUN(D)RAISER. RSVP ON FACEBOOK.

Fowler is pleased to present YEAR TWO, our annual birthday party celebration being held on Friday, December 7th from 7-10pm. Artists from all over the United States have sent postcard-sized works that will be filling our gallery walls. All work will be affordably priced at $80 or below. Many local businesses have generously donated gifts and prizes to be raffled off at the end of the evening. See the amazing list of prizes below. Check back soon for a list of exhibiting artists!

The band, Globular Cluster, will be playing mellow, hypnotic tunes for your auditory enjoyment. Our event will also coincide with an event down the hall at Calico gallery: Calicornicopia. Double the fun at 67 West Street!

YEAR TWO, the exhibition, will be on view all weekend, Sat. and Sun., from 12-6pm. Many other businesses in our building at 67 West will be open during the weekend, so keep an eye out for signs leading the way to more fun!

This year because of the devastation so many of us have experienced as a result of Hurricane Sandy, we will be donating 25% of funds raised from the evening through artwork, raffle ticket, and beer/wine sales to the NYFA’s Emergency Relief Fund to support artists most affected by the storm. The rest of what we raise will contribute to the Fowler operating and exhibitions budget for 2013. That means anything you spend will directly support the artists in our studios and in our gallery so they can do their work in a comfortable and encouraging environment. Support your local artists!
