Fowler’s exhibition space has a new website and a new name!
In order to make it easier to find information on the amazing shows that happen in our exhibition space, I have created a new dedicated website just for the “project space.” I don’t call our lovely lofty space a gallery, because such a collaborative, fluid space can’t be described so easily. Check out the new website: http://www.fowlerprojectspace.org/
The classic Collective website will start to focus more on our studio artists so everyone can keep up with the amazingly talented group of artists that call Fowler their (studio) home.

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.

Morph exhibition opening tonight!! Sat., Feb. 16th from 7-9pm. Don’t miss it! Performance by JIT Real and lotsa awesome artwork.
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.

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.

Fowler Arts Collective is pleased to present Eye Candy an exhibition of 25 illustrators sponsored by the Society of Illustrators during NYC’s Illustration Week 2012.
They know it’s wrong, but they love it anyway. Eye Candy presents 25 young illustrators who have pulled back the shades to reveal their secret guilty pleasures of life in NYC. With common threads of industry and age, each artist is making waves in the illustration community. Their commissioned work ranges from editorial to poster design to comics and more, and their futures in the field seem bigger than the city they live in. Out of their comfort zones and on display, the illustrators have created a personal narrative of a single lowbrow for your viewing pleasure. Eye Candy.
Exhibiting Artists: Wesley Allsbrook, Elizabeth Baddeley, Jonathan Bartlett, Chi Birmingham, Sam Wolfe Connelly, Exit Deer, Johnny Dombrowski, Jensine Eckwall, Jeremy Enecio, Jared Fiorino, Daniel Fishel, Nick Iluzada, Tara Jacoby, John Malta, Keith Negley, Robyn Ng, Victo Ngai, Tae Querny, Matt Rota, Ross Schaner, Dadu Shin, Kim Sielbeck, Kyle Stecker, Skip Sterling, and Katie Turner.
Please join Fowler for the opening reception of Eye Candy on Saturday, Nov. 10th from 7-10pm. The exhibition can be viewed by appointment. Contact us here to view the exhibition.

OPENING RECEPTION: FRIDAY, OCTOBER 12TH FROM 7-10PM. RSVP ON FACEBOOK.
EXHIBITION DATES: OCT. 12 - NOV. 4, 2012
Fowler Arts Collective is pleased to present Getting It, an exhibition curated by Maia Stern and Cal Siegel. Getting It includes new work by artists Marnie Briggs, Rich Erickson, Austin Lee, Paul Richardson, and Cal Siegel.
Getting It presents a seemingly disparate group of artists hell-bent on dousing the corrosive flames of irony and cynicism with honesty. The work is brought together by a collective ache for locating the jagged seam between tragedy and humor with the intent of tearing it wide open. Using levity as a basic access point, the work exposes itself on a universal level while simultaneously functioning as a deeply personal moment. The concept of “use less-ness” permeates throughout with a group obsession in gestural prudence. Not to be confused with “laziness,” this focus per square inch makes for a much more potent image. After all, we can agree as a team that it is the job of the artist to simplify the complicated, while the reciprocal action is left to the critic. Got it?

Please join Fowler for the opening reception of Getting It on Friday, Oct. 12th from 7-10pm. The exhibition can be viewed on Saturdays and Sundays from 1-5pm and by appointment.
