Two exhibitions

Pari Nadimi Gallery, Toronto

Rhonda Weppler and TrevorMahovsky

Pari Nadimi Gallery is pleased to announce an exhibition of sculpture and photography by Rhonda Weppler and Trevor Mahovsky.

Rhonda Weppler and Trevor Mahovsky's second solo exhibition at Pari Nadimi Gallery includes two 1977 Cadillac hearses cast and reconstituted in black photographic backdrop paper as thin, ashen wrecks. Also exhibited is a pair of found objects covered in a coating of light-absorbing black flock and a pair of photographs of silvery, reflective table top sculptures. Within the muted gothic ambience of the exhibit, the hearses are displayed alongside objects relating to the 1977 film Star Wars, disco balls and a paper wedding bell. As tenuous physical presences and cultural clichés, these objects and images interrelate formally and conceptually as an intricate pattern of restatement, reflection, counterpoint, and negation.

Rhonda Weppler and Trevor Mahovsky are Vancouver-based collaborative artists. Their 2004 exhibits included Or Gallery, Vancouver, The Ottawa Art Gallery, Galerie loop-raum, Berlin and Pari Nadimi Gallery. Upcoming solo exhibits include The Contemporary Art Gallery in Vancouver, The Southern Alberta Art Gallery, Cambridge Galleries and Brock University Gallery. Rhonda Weppler's work has also been exhibited in shows such as Art Hypermarkets: Contesting Consumerism, Palazzo delle Papesse, Siena (2004), and Domicile, Centre on Contemporary Art, Seattle (2004). Trevor Mahovsky's work has been included in Crossing the Line, Queens Museum of Art, New York (2001), and These Days,Vancouver Art Gallery (2001). Mahovsky is also a contributor to Artforum.
