Conrad Wilde Gallery: Parts of the Whole

October 1, 2007

Conrad Wilde Gallery, Tucson, AZ, 2007
I have four works appearing in the Parts Of The Whole show, October 6th – 26th, 2007 at the Conrad Wilde Gallery.


From the press release: “Conrad Wilde Gallery is pleased to present our season-opening exhibition, Parts of the Whole featuring five artists working in collage and assemblage. The exhibition opens in our Main Gallery with a reception Saturday, October 6th from 6-9 pm in conjunction with the Central Tucson Gallery Association’s gallery walk – The Big Picture… Parts of the Whole is a celebration of the interconnectedness of that which seems fragmentary, unworthy of notice, lost or elusive. Tucson favorites David Adix, Catherine Nash, and Margaret Suchland will be featured along with New York artists Greg Stephens and Jeff Sundheim.”

THE COMPUTER IN THE STUDIO

August 16, 2007

DeCordova Museum and Sculpture Park, Lincoln, MA, 1994

This first-time collaboration for The Computer Museum in Boston and the DeCordova Museum and Sculpture Park in Lincoln featured 100 pieces by 36 New England artists. Artworks at both museums range from stained glass, mosaic, painting, and sculpture to digital collage, interactive installations, virtual reality and animation.

“Computer animation and an electronic soundtrack composed by the artist are the basic technical elements of Greg A. Stephens’s video Death is the Seed. Using images of demons, angels, saints, and martyrs from the history of Western art, Stephens creates shifting visual patterns. Symbols of death come alive, as it were, in a pulsating fabric of mortality. The sampled vocal line ‘When I become death, death is the seed from which I grow,’ ironic is its sinister delivery, is spoken by poet William S. Burroughs.In Stephens’s video collaboration… Fragments of a Vicarious Childhood, animations, computer-processed video footage, and Super-8 film combine in a collage of memory. Fleeting layers of dancing pictographs, landscape imagery, and nostalgia-tinged ‘home movies’ blur together in an exploration of time’s effects on remembered and imagined events.”

FORT POINT ARTS COMMUNITY OPEN STUDIOS

August 15, 2007

Do While Studio, Boston, MA
October 17th & 18th, 1992

Exhibited computer animation and mixed-media videos.

Do While Studio is a small and focused community offering an alternative to the way technology is assimilated in day-to-day art practice. Conceived by artists as a non-profit organization in 1985, we ground our collaborative work in the development and critical appraisal of digital technology – always in concert with traditional forms of artistic expression such as painting, sculpture, poetry, choreography, storytelling, music and design.

* * *

Since 1978, Fort Point artists have opened their studios to the public during the third weekend in October. The Open Studios Weekend attracts about 10,000 visitors to our neighborhood. This event offers the public a rare glimpse into the living and working spaces of artists, while providing a valuable opportunity for artists to sell their work.
