SOWA
Foxy Productions presents SOWA, David Noonan's first New York solo show.
SOWA is an installation of prints, sculpture, and film.
SOWA brings a heightened surreality to Noonan's explorations of horror
genre aesthetics. In Sowa: Wallpaper Tile (2002-2003), a gathering of
owls appears clone-like on wallpapered prints, creating a baroque and
menacing ante-chamber. Owl (2002) is a cast sculpture that could be a
film prop, or an otherworldly relic. Sowa (2003), a 16mm film made
collaboratively with artist Simon Trevaks, features a young woman who is
slowly drawn into a forest by the magnetic presence of an unidentified
force. Drifting in and out of a dream-state, she never reaches her
destination.
Noonan has recently exhibited at Henry Urbach Architecture (New York),
PS1 (New York), Roslyn Oxley9 Gallery (Sydney), Museo Nacional Centro de
Arte Reina Sofia (Madrid), the 7th Istanbul Biennale, and Uplands
Gallery (Melbourne).
David Noonan has received international awards, including an Australia
Council Grant - PS1 Studio New York (2001), and a Moet & Chandon Passing
Time Commission (1999). His work is in the permanent collection of the
National Gallery of Victoria, Australia, and in private collections in
Australia, Britain and the USA. He has been featured in Artext, Art in
America, Art & Australia, Flash Art, Frieze, and Time Out New York.
