"Faux Cult"

August 21 - September 18, 2011

Opening: Sunday, August 21, 4-7pm

Travis Wyche: Study for Semiotic Vase #11, 2011. Book Cuttings on Found Paper.

Nicholas Cueva: Tabula Rasa, 2011. Acrylic on Panel.

Erin Washington: Cosmic Uncertainty, 2011. Found Object.

Brooklyn, NY— “Faux Cult” is an exhibition of new objects by six recent graduates of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago’s MFA Painting and Drawing program. Nicholas Cueva, Brian Hubble, Nazafarin Lofti, Erin Washington, Sean Ward, and Travis Wyche approach the medium of painting with varying levels of ambivalence, antagonism, and respect for the medium’s history and critical frameworks. Beyond a fractious relationship with this medium, these artists challenge the viewer’s impulse to excavate meaning from art, asserting that there may not be any meaning or truth to uncover.

Sean Ward: Found, 2010. Copper Leaf on Found Garments.

The title, “Faux Cult”, is the result of an accidental mispronunciation of “Foucault.” It reflects the oscillations between representation and abstraction, veracity and falsity, vision and idea as they roll around in our conceptual understanding of art in general and painting, arguably the archetypal medium. The six artists represented in “Faux Cult” generate a spectrum of interventions into the conventional definitions of painting. The viewer is asked to question whether painting is defined by its support, mark making, questions of representation and abstraction, or the use of paint. More....

Nazafarin Lotfi: Untitled, 2011. Mixed Media on Canvas.

Brian Hubble: Killed Wolf Pills, 2011. Ashes from a Wolf my Cousin was Forced to Kill, Wax, Pill Bottle.

reaganography

Nearly 30 years since his election to the presidency in 1980. Nearly 25 since the Iran-Contra Affair. Nearly 15 years since he announced his Alzheimer's disease. Nearly 5 years since his death. During the presidential election of 2008, no political name was uttered more than his: Ronald Reagan. His political legacy should be long past its twilight, yet seems to have an eternal morning in America. These six artists, all of a generation who came of age during Reagan's two terms but most not of voting age at his 1980 election, examine Reagan's political legacy via his iconic image.

artists

Mark Albright Betsy Alwin
Melanie Baker Felix Esquivel
Steve Locke John O'Connor

Artist Betsy Alwin's sculpture examines our current day volksgeist or "spirit of a nation," revealing to us its roundabout logic and locates Reagan at its core. In the work of Felix Esquivel, we see a reborn Reagan, energized and epiphanic while preaching from President Barack Obama's tome to "hope." In artist Steve Locke's drawing, we find a literalized expression of contempt for Reagan and his policies on A.I.D.S. Artist Mark Albright's work speaks to a political awakening in the era of Iran-Contra and other scandals while artist John O'Connor marries a mutated, but iconographic, Reagan with the ideological Reagan by scripting his name in archaic military code. Artist Melanie Baker draws attention to mystery and power in her expansive drawings of former and current political icons.
