9 international artists working in various media. With many of the works executed on site at La Barraliere, the individual artists engage specificity, convention, contingency, and duration to indite an uncommon orientation where awareness is externalized in unexpected ways.
Hand in Hand Non-Objectif Sud, Inc is pleased to present Hand in Hand, its
exhibition for the summer of 2009, featuring the work of nine
international artists working in various media. Embracing disparate
approaches and an array of form, the works share affinities that are not
immediately plain. With many of the works executed on site at La
Barraliere, the individual artists engage specificity, convention,
contingency, and duration to indite an uncommon orientation where
awareness is externalized in unexpected ways.
This particular type of
embodiment, sensed as an abstract personalization of thought, couples an
atypical realization of the works themselves to the palpable ground of
their immanent presence. Hand in Hand tests the representation of reality
by examining the underlying structure of what is seen, and proposes a
material reconfiguration of what is shown. Dennis Bellone is an artist
who works in multiple mediums. He is represented in the collections of the
Center Pompidou in Paris and S.M.A.K in Ghent.
Linda Francis is a painter
who exhibits widely in the US and abroad. A survey of paintings and
drawings was shown at the Sarah Moody Gallery of Art at the University of
Alabama, and new work was recently seen at Minus Space Project Room and at
Janet Kurnatowski Gallery in New York. Francis is represented in numerous
public and private collections. John Finneran's exhibition Night Fence, a
group of paintings in oil and enamel on aluminum, was seen at Upstairs
Berlin last fall. His work was the subject of two solo shows at Rivington
Arms in New York. Josephine Halvorson will exhibit new paintings this
fall at Monya Rowe Gallery in New York and next spring at NT Gallery in
Bologna. Her work was recently seen at Sikkema-Jenkins & Company, at
Cuchifritos, and at Sue Scott Gallery, all in New York. Suzanne Hill uses
organic materials such as herbs, valued for their scent and taste, which
are incorporated in non-traditional ways. Her 'Biome' works were installed
in public spaces the two previous summers during a residency at the
Fondazione Tolenti in Venice. Jim Lee's second New York solo exhibition,
Paranoid, an installation of painted objects and impermanent structures
which altered the character of the gallery, was recently seen at Freight +
Volume. Lee also curated Accident Blackspot for F+V last spring.
Andreas
Reiter Raabe is an artist and educator whose projects including painting,
photography, sculpture, and film have been seen at the Mies van der Rohe
Haus in Berlin, at Christine Koenig Galerie in Vienna, and at Sarah
Cottier Gallery in Sydney. His work is a part of Sammlung Daimler in
Stuttgart and Berlin. Jackie Saccoccio organized Blue Balls, an immersive
collaborative installation seen last winter at APF Lab in New York. She
has had solo shows of her paintings and wall drawings at Eleven Rivington
Gallery in New York and at Galerie Michael Neff in Frankfurt, among
others. Michael Zahn's exhibition As Michael Zahn was seen at Eleven
Rivington Gallery in New York last spring. Recent work was included this
spring in exhibitions at Pharmaka in Los Angeles and at Gavin Brown's
Enterprise in New York. He has organized the exhibition at Non-Objectif
Sud for the summer of 2009 along with co-directors Andrew Huston and
Karole Vail.
