Beggars & thieves
plus ultra gallery is very pleased to present beggars & thieves, an exhibition
by raleigh, nc, artist collective team lump. featuring new work by team lump
artists michael salter, laura sharp wilson, lump lipshitz and gary smith,
beggars & thieves highlights the talent, energy, and sheer audacity that has
come to be associated with the ground-breaking programming at raleigh's
legendary showcase for emerging art, lump gallery/projects. along with works on
paper by other team lump crew members, beggars & thieves includes a limited
t-shirt, complimentary cigarettes and krispy kreme doughnuts (while they last).
working organically, team lump adapts to each new exhibition space, installing a
mix of paintings, drawings, sculpture, wall drawings, and video to create an
installation that offers a seemingly chaotic vision, but still offers access
into individual works of surprising materials and poignant commentary. included
in beggars & thieves are laura sharp wilson’s densely patterned paintings on
japanese paper imbuing organic forms and decorative motifs with a sense of
vitality, creating intense visual narratives that serve as the vehicle for her
psychological musings. michael salter offers commanding, often-humorous digital
drawings, a kinetic sculpture and a wall drawing as he continues his
investigation into the impact of mass media, mass communication and brand
identity on our ability to decipher meaning. taken from popular science fiction
or simply made up, the stunningly detailed solid tin foil sculptures of heroes
and creatures by gary smith capture the awe and wonder of the future.
and lump lipshitz’s video "my long wet summer," drawings, and paintings
reemphasize the theme running through all team lump’s work: the desire to sort
out and focus an infinitely chaotic flow of information…trying to read between
the lines, when even the lines don’t make sense.
