WHITE PAGES follows on the line of the 'Wall List' group show that World Art media hosted at the Broadway Gallery, in Soho, NY, on November 04.These pages identify with a year of personal impressions and unexpected discoveries. A difficult, thrilling, revolutionary (for my lifestile, at least) first year as a New York resident. What makes art desirable? What switches our attention from simple interest to personal involvement? The 'Wall List' exhibit focused on these issues. I tried to walk on this border-lines gathering some of the best art that I met in the past year's shows. Art that interested me, captivated me, or just made me curious; artworks that survived in my memory and in my heart, resisting the pressure and winning in the competition with hundreds (if not thousands) of other artworks seen. Vocationally small, often intimate art. WHITE PAGES is the créme of the aforementioned 'natural selection' process that I operated during last year. 6 artists that embody a trans-national feeling and attitude and suggest new takes and smooth variations on what art-critic Jerry Saltz defined 'Termite Art', an art wich makes its rules, that slowly erodes all external stimula and influences to remix them into tiny debris' cocktails, that refuses and accepts depending on personal feelings and attitude. Marco Antonecchia picks from american popular culture and imagery with a basterdized, as-seen-on-TV, attitude. The drawings of Diane Barcelowsky are short trips into brainy, often uncomfortable scenarios. Harrison Haynes explores past and present trough the lenses of personal memories and the formal filter of photographic reproductions. Arrington De Dyoniso's art and music reflects his search for a higher spirituality trough wild quotation and fablistic imagery. The Drawings of Kelie Bowman reveal details and fragments of sometimes dark, mysterious bedtime stories. Van Hanos' art moves the viewer forward to timeless scenarios where witty details enrich compositions of outstanding emotional power and formal balance.
