Audiello Fine Art, Inc. is pleased to announce Nothing in Common, a
group exhibition featuring Madeline Djerejian, Naomi Fisher, Stuart
Hawkins, Justine Kurland, Deborah Mesa-Pelly and Alexandra Rowley.
The exhibition will open on Saturday, June 10 and run through July 21,
2000.
This group of artists were selected to explore the visual possibilities
within the current state of photography, by returning focus to the
individual through an assemblage which have Nothing in Common
except the media.
Madeline Djerejian captures that fragile moment between the waking
world and the realm of dreams. As a book becomes a window to more
fulfilling fantasies, we read on and nod off from the loneliness of this
solitary moment and ultimately the melancholia of our daily lives.
Naomi Fisher stages erotic incidents in tropical locals to literally
address our sexual nature as a culture. She commingles our sense of
what is organic instinct with what we repress, necrophilia, rape and the
inherent perversity in each of our desires.
Stuart Hawkins fragments the familiar until we become foreigners in our
own backyards. With a cropped perspective she perverts the
commonplace, sometimes glorifying the simple but often making the
ordinary, bizarre.
Justine Kurland orchestrates baroque landscapes but confines her
characters to the modern arena. Issues of classicism and youth
become utopian playgrounds where even if the activities veer into the
sadistic the approach is never blasé or jaded.
Deborah Mesa-Pelly takes an ax to the stage exposing the artifice of
illusion, creating a portal of revelation. Images of surprise that call upon
our deeply repressed memories of birth, taunting us into an
overwhelming world of knowledge.
Alexandra Rowley uses the visual psychology of water to explore our
unconscious fears. As if we were floating in the vastness of space the
banality of a suburban pool becomes an environment where we are
plunged into the void to arouse our anxieties and vulnerabilities.
