EXHIBITION OPENING: Friday, Sept. 7th from 7-10pm
Fowler Arts Collective is pleased to present Odd Job, an exhibition of new work by artists Ted Carey, Jacob Goudreault, and Simon Slater. Painting in the 21st century is an odd job. With no rules or boundaries, how does one beat a path to new possibilities? Each exhibiting artist addresses this question in their own way, but shares an underlying strategy of poking around in little-noticed or neglected corners of painting culture.
Manipulating painting language with materials only occasionally including paint, Ted Carey melds painting and sculptural traditions to exploit and question our cognitive tic of finding representation in abstraction. Jacob Goudreault’s work addresses the painting support and its construction, redirecting our attention backward to focus on the process that precedes what we traditionally conceive as creative activity. Uber-Modernist critic Clement Greenberg believed each artistic medium was evolving toward an ultimate purity, and in Simon Slater’s work this vision achieves its absurdist apotheosis. Slater eliminates the use of any support, inventing methods to make paintings composed purely of paint.

Fowler Arts Collective is located in the historic Greenpoint Terminal building on the East River waterfront at 67 West Street, Brooklyn, NY 11222.
Exhibition Dates: October 14-30, 2011
Opening Reception: Friday, Oct. 14th from 6 to 9pm
Fowler Arts Collective is pleased to present The Pinch, in which three local artists share their attempts to articulate something about the value of art in a time of economic hardship. Featuring recent bodies of work by Kurt Freyer, Elizabeth Hoy, and Emilie Selden, The Pinch explores the way material transformation in an art world setting can alter the value of very modest objects. Working playfully and with limited means, these artists take trash, recycling, and unwanted objects and turn the dispensable into an art commodity.
Kurt Freyer’s work takes discarded technology and trash and transforms it into his vision of post-apocalyptic nature. His practice is a sort of alchemy: in his work, CD jewel-cases and beer cans transform into post-apocalyptic mineral deposits or miniature cliff formations. In her Craigslist Series, Elizabeth Hoy looks at what New Yorkers are giving away on Craigslist, and then collects, paints, and draws from the objects they post. Her series is a study in these tenuous shifts in value—from person to person, and from natural to man-made. Over the last two years, Emilie Selden has literally been making money. At a time when the line between illusion and reality in the American marketplace is often unclear, her work looks at the difference (or lack thereof) between a piece of paper, a dollar bill, and a painting.
Please join us for The Pinch’s opening reception on Friday, Oct. 14th from 6-9 pm. The exhibition will be on view weekends (Sat. + Sun.), 12 to 6pm, from October 14th to 30th, 2011. During other times, the exhibition can be viewed by appointment.
In addition to the exhibition’s opening event on October 14th, there will be a reading organized by Luke Degnan of BOMB Magazine on Friday, Oct. 21st from 7-10pm in the Fowler gallery. The reading of poetry and short fiction will feature writers Paul Legault, B.C. Edwards, and others.
