INVEN.TORY Exhibition: The Point Suite Pop-Up Show.

SHARE

What was so incredible was the opportunity that this exhibit gave to these young artists to showcase their work in a prime location and use the space as a vehicle to show their pieces to a larger audience than a true gallery space would allow. I’m sensing this pop-up trend will be around for a while, as concerns like Active Ideas Productions, keep coming up with clever ideas to get around a very closed art world.

Let’s discuss the art for a moment. In this particular exhibition, the themes are encountered and explored through a variety of media: a monumental installation by Nicholas Papadakis combines the aesthetics and scale of billboards with the primeval figurative forms of his erosion paintings; Jason Peters, in a site-specific intervention, challenges our intrinsic perception of reality by subverting relationships of space, environment and common materials (one couldn’t help but have an intimate relationship with this piece, as its massive size and position within the store forced the viewer to interact with it in the most uncommon of ways); paintings by Megan Burns and James Wolanin examine the female figure through bold, graphic lines; Shawn Kuruneru drawings enforce recognizable imagery through the distortion of memory space;  Mark Dye and Melanie Jelacic reinvent everyday objects as unexpected and evocative sculptures; and Annika Connor and Tom Costa find beauty in the decaying space between the built environment and the natural world.

Check all of this out before May 14th, where it will be gone before it’s out of fashion.
