I am excited to announce that I have co-curated a show along with
Elizabeth Misitano and Elena Rodz called Human Brevity, opening September 6th
from 7-9pm at The Collective Art Tank in Asbury Park,
NJ. The three of us had discussed curating a show together and out of many
ideas, we decided on Human Brevity as the most intriguing and relevant.
Below is an excerpt from
our press release. Everyone is welcome to join us at the opening. All of the
work shown will be available for purchase.
ALE Curators is pleased to
present Human Brevity: Contemplating Longevity in a World of Internet
Memes, a group exhibition on view at The Collective Art Tank in Asbury
Park, NJ from September 6 through September 27, 2014.
In the age of
instantaneous messaging, constant updates on news feeds, disposable anything
and everything, lives broken down into shorter and shorter segments, catering
to our waning attention spans - the works in Human Brevity question
whether the soul or the internet is the path to immortality.
Technology races forward,
leaving the monuments of industrialization to wither as ironic shrines to
greatness. Andrea Williams reinvigorates these ruins in her graphic prints. Her
subject matter, the now defunct factories of Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, ruminates
on a geriatric America, its industrial strength like the atrophied muscles of
an aging bodybuilder. In a similar vein, her newest series explores
irregularities in the body. Her boldly colored linoleum prints ponder our
physicality and its complex relationship as both protector and jailer of the
soul.
