A group exhibition showcasing recent work by Nicolas Africano, Lynn Aldrich, Ben Aronson, Lalla Essaydi, Kenyatta A.C. Hinkle, Rin Johnson, Annie Kevans, Melanie Pullen, Julian Opie, Gordon Parks, Vanessa Prager, Scott Prior, Scott Steinworth, Nancy Switzer, Lavender Wolf.
Director's Pick introduces new artists to the gallery. Melanie Pullen's large-scale photographs from her series High Fashion Crime Scenes recreate crime scenes in which the victims are outfitted in haute couture. Pullen is fascinated by how people get a bigger shock from images involving beautiful women in glamorous designer clothes than if they were regular people in plain clothes. Pullen was born in New York City in 1975. She is self-taught and was raised in a family of photojournalists, publishers and artists. Currently she lives and works in Los Angeles, California. Pullen's work has been exhibited internationally and has been included in various museum exhibitions. Her work was exhibited at Steven Wirtz Gallery in San Francisco. High Fashion Crime Scenes was published in late 2005 by Nazraeli Press and is available in bookstores worldwide.
Director's Pick features new sculptures by Nicolas Africano and Lynn Aldrich. Africano's cast glass sculpture Girl with Long Sleeves has an air of classicism in her stance, posture, dress and mien, as is typical in his contemporary sculptures, some of which can be seen at the de Young Museum. She is in a state quiet contemplation, reflecting the artists desire to explore what cannot be told. Contrasting to Africano's use of more traditional materials, Aldrich finds her materials from stores such as hardware, auto supply, and dollar stores, and uses them to create sculptures that emulate nature and evoke the sublime. Losing My Lagoon is the latest in a series of works made to resemble coral reefs through an assemblage of cleaning tools. The sculpture intends to celebrate bio-diversity and the spirituality of the landscape.
