exhibition - OPENING TONIGHT AT 6PM
Friday, October 10 - Saturday, November 1 2008
'WRESTLING ANGELS':
Laura Elkins, Bonnie Lucas & Carol Peligian
Conflict is intrinsic to all aspects of life, yet the prospect of it rattles the equilibrium and provokes associations on levels from universal to deeply personal. While generally perceived as temporal, negative, and preferably avoidable, conflict can be as readily recognized as ubiquitous and transformative. Wrestling Angels looks at three female artists addressing conflict in their work: Laura Elkins on politics clashing with privacy; Bonnie Lucas on societal contradictions to biology and psychology; and Carol Peligian on conflict as a necessary, objective, universal phenomenon.
Exhibition curated by Marion M. Callis: www.marioncallis.net

REINIGUNGSGESELLSCHAFT:
'Times of Garbage,
Sanitations Workers on Times Square, New York City'
Once you cleaned that street yourself
and you turn around and look how clean it is –
sometimes it´s a really good feeling.
Richard Townes, supervisor
Times Of Garbage is a video by the German artist group REINIGUNGSGESELLSCHAFT. It describes a working day of sanitation workers on Times Square. Street cleaners are very present in all day life around Times Square, one of the most famous pieces of real estate on the world. REINIGUNGSGESELLSCHAFT accompanies some of them during their daily routine, when they clear up the waste that is caused by mass consumption. The workers are surrounded by the promising world of advertisements and as well by social disparity.
REINIGUNGSGESELLSCHAFT (whose German implications range from “Cleaning Service” to “Purification Society”) is an artists project group that works at the point of intersection between art and social reality. REINIGUNGSGESELLSCHAFT understands contemporary art as a catalyst of social and political processes.
