Dewanatron: Brian and Leon Dewan. Peter Hildebrand: You Were Never Here
DEWANATRON:
Brian Dewan and Leon Dewan
Leon Dewan and Brian Dewan are Dewanatron—a collaborative team who make hand-crafted, semi-automatic, electronic musical instruments. This exhibition will feature twelve wall mounted analog solid-state instruments that produce occasional electronic utterances at ever-shifting intervals of time. Also included in the show are parlor and concert instruments such as the Swarmatron and the Dual Primate Console. Visitors will be able to play the Coin-Op Melody Gin, an arcade instrument in which 25 cents buys the customer a four minute hands-on electronic music-making-odyssey with knobs and toggle switches.
Peter Hildebrand
You Were Never Here
In his paintings and sculptures, Peter Hildebrand references manufacturing and industrial architecture as a metaphor for issues of human vulnerability. He gravitates toward imagery that alludes to our collective attempts at security but subverts it to expose what turns out to be a false sense of protection. Fear and vulnerability, and the consequent desire for protection and enclosure, intersect with the desire to embrace vast space and scale. The conflicting impulse to simultaneously withdraw and engage is an important element of his work. This will be Hildebrand’s second exhibition at Pierogi and will include recent paintings.
