Armaceii: New work by Roy Stanfield
The Lab Gallery at the Roger Smith Hotel, New York

Roy takes commercially-produced materials and constructs objects that trace the life cycle of these materials from their availability in the store to their immediate placement onto the curb outside. This "pre-garbage", as termed by Roy, is made into forms that are like offerings of what to do after these materials have been discarded. Freestanding tarps have been fashioned into forms that represent boulders. In "Fuji", a found Styrofoam cooler is placed high on the wall and is flanked by foam insulating tubes used for plumbing. These works, and others, collapse indoors and outdoors in a way that Smithson himself may have only anticipated during the conventions of his own time. Click here for images from the show.

Andy Warhol: Black and White
Lora Reynolds Gallery, Austin
On view through April 30, 2005

Take a trip off to the beaten path to West Avenue and at the end you will find the Lora Reynolds Gallery - a new exhibition space that is well worth the trip! For her inaugural exhibition (the space opened just two weeks ago) Lora Reynolds presents Andy Warhol: Black and White featuring 18 works on paper dating from 1974 -1986. Among these works are unique trial proofs and unpublished prints from the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts (New York) and is the first time these have been exhibited. Black and White offers a rare glimpse into both Warhol's mind and working progress as many of the prints use the exact screens to incorporate the iconic imagery of his more famous paintings such as his Marilyn series or Electric Chair. Though we are all familiar with
Andy Warhol's work, this exhibition presents a fresh re-interpretation of an iconic artist. Andy Warhol: Black and White will be on view through April 30, 2005.

Lawrence Jennings: Laminae
Sala Diaz, San Antonio
March 11-April 17, 2005

Currently on view at Sala Diaz, Lawrence Jennings presents a series of new work titled Laminae which includes wall-painting and lo-relief sculpture. Feedback 3 is a 2 minute, 25 second video loop of the camera turned directly onto the monitor causing high contrast, mandala-like patterns that pulsate with oddly beautiful effects. In addition, a wall-size mural of one of the video stills dominates the first gallery. In the second room Jennings shows 3 new sculptures made of grip tape and acrylic paint on shaped acrylic panels. While still referencing Jennings' interest in skateboard culture found in other works, these 3 delve into more formally interesting territory. Seen in daylight, all three works blush subtle auras of color on to wails behind which appears to be painting on the rear side. Laminae is on view First Fridays and will be on view this Friday, April 2nd.

Black and White opens tonight at Dberman from 6pm - 8pm ~ check it out!
