Kate Shepherd: Stack Shack
Reception for the artist September 20th, 2008 from 6 to 8pm.
Walk into an art gallery and it goes without saying that a “Don’t Touch” rule will be rigidly enforced. Stores are a more hands-on experience—browse, and paw the merchandise a bit as you make up your mind. Kate Shepherd had the looser rules of a retail environment in mind as she went about making work to exhibit amidst the first editions, artist’s books and other wares available at Glenn Horowitz Bookseller.

June 28th through August 3rd, 2008
Kevin Teare: Bumpology, the Clinton Years
An exhibition of paintings by Kevin Teare, upstairs at Glenn Horowitz Bookseller. Teare admits to a perhaps unhealthy level of preoccupation with covert U.S. history, English rock bands from the 60s, and other matters pop or political. You wouldn’t immediately know it to look at his paintings but titles like There Are Exactly 57 Reds (for John Frankenheimer), which alludes to both a notorious quotation from Senator Joe McCarthy and to Frankenheimer’s film The Manchurian Candidate, suggest that Teare’s paintings are operating on other levels besides those immediately apparent.

June 28th to August 3rd, 2008

Adam McEwen: Chicken or Beef?
Reception for the artist August 9th, 2008 from 6 to 8 pm.
Adam McEwen's installation includes text message wall pieces and various everyday objects reinvented as sculptural objects made from industrial quality graphite.

Jameson Ellis
The Atomic Sublime
In the past century a few artists in each generation have found a way to re-invent the formal language of abstraction to suit the concerns of the age. Jameson Ellis draws on a range of antecedents—Stella’s regular, mechanical surfaces, Gerhard Richter’s dragged and smeared canvases, Rothko’s fields of color—but in the end they look only like themselves. More Details
August 4th to September 10th, 2007

Printed Matters
An exhibition of new works by Philip-Lorca diCorcia, Printed Matters, curated by Thea Westreich and Ethan Wagner. Taken from the contents of diCorcia’s 2003 book project, A Storybook Life, the works in this show were not made by any overt action on the part of the photographer, but came about accidentally as part of the printing process for the book. More Details
June 30th to July 31th, 2007
Will Cotton: Drawings
New works on paper by Will Cotton. These images, all produced within the past year, add to an expanding body of work detailing Cotton’s primary aesthetic obsession - the representation of pleasure. The drawings in oil and varnish display a graceful, fluid style, an exuberant gestural freedom that belies the carefully honed craftsmanship of a hand and eye that, while deft, is never less than exacting in its requirements.

May 26th to June 25th, 2007
