Odd Job exhibition coming up at Fowler Arts Collective in Greenpoint, Brooklyn! Opening Friday, Sept. 7th from 7-10pm.
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.

Opening Reception for FIST CITY! Sat, April 23rd from 6-9pm
Fowler Arts Collective is pleased to present Fist City, an exhibition of abstract paintings by EJ Hauser, Logan Grider, Matt Phillips, and Nathlie Provosty.
A fist is the hand’s best attempt to organize itself. More often than not, our attempts to create order and meaning only remind us of how lawless and mysterious life actually is. What does the inside of your closed hand even look like? Fist City is not just a place;… it is a community and a credo. Hands reaching out to grasp, touch, and configure the entropic. When words become too elusive and you have to take matters directly into your hands, you have entered Fist City.
Titled after the infamous Loretta Lynn song of the same name, Fist City embodies the bold, take-notice attitude of Lynn’s lyrics. The four artists in Fist City are engaged in a rigorous investigation of abstraction and all the different forms it can take. The exhibition is a collaboration between the artists: self-directed and independently organized with the support of Fowler Arts Collective. In addition to paintings, the artists have produced a limited edition broadsheet that will accompany the exhibition.The artists live and work primarily in New York City and Philadelphia.
Please join us for Fist City’s opening reception on Saturday, April 23rd from 6-9 pm. The exhibition will be on view from April 23rd to May 7th. During the exhibition, Fowler will have open gallery hours on Saturdays and Sundays from 12pm to 6pm. During other times, the exhibition can be viewed by appointment.
Fowler is a new gallery and studio collective located in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. Fowler is located in the Greenpoint Terminal Warehouse complex at 67 West Street between Greenpoint Ave. and Noble St. Look for signs directing you into the second floor space.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Fowler Arts Collective is pleased to present ENTER, the inaugural exhibition of our brand new space in the historic Greenpoint Terminal Building on the Brooklyn waterfront. This group exhibition includes 25 talented emerging artists from New York City and Philadelphia. All artists were asked to respond in some way to the gallery space in its raw/ industrial form. These responses take the form of installations that have been made especially for the exhibition, or the responses are reflected in the content of the artwork. What results is a show full of discoveries and unexpected conversations between the pieces of artwork and the gallery and studio spaces.
