Sound and Suspicion

Curator: Lee Arnold

January 24 – February 22, 2019

Artist Talk: February 22, 2:00 p.m. / ARTS 106
Reception: February 22, 5:00 – 7:00 p.m.

The Korn Gallery is pleased to announce the exhibition Sound and Suspicion by artist Jack Ryan. Ryan is an interdisciplinary artist who explores trance and contemporary culture through the conduits of sonic theory, sculpture, and optics. He is a Professor of Art at the University of Oregon.

Ryan’s exhibition at Drew University will consist of sculpture and works on paper that begins with research for an article into the nebulously dark history of Avant-guard sound production as a starting point. The works are loosely based on a deep historical suspicion of early Avant-guard sound production and its ties to governmental agencies interested in the emerging practice for covert purposes. Rumors concerning sound artist’s sinister roles covertly influencing history persist. In the 60’s and 70s titans of early experimental sound production may have knowingly, or unknowingly, cooperated with the CIA in their earliest explorations of no touch torture principles. Rumors of the French government broadcasting the brown tone to break up May 1968 riots continue to circulate. Musician Leon Theremin’s invention of a passive microphone installed in the American embassy in Moscow changed the landscape of Cold War surveillance for 7 years. Today, sound’s nefarious history cast a shroud of uncertainty on American-Cuban relations in the wake of American diplomats being evacuated under suspicions of sonic attacks at the American Embassy in Havana. This research will creatively consider the complex relationship between sound, sculptural space, and political landscapes.

Ryan’s work has been exhibited at the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden (Washington, DC); La Maison Laurentine (France); Ausstellungsraum Klingental (Basel, Switzerland); the Palace of Fine Arts, Ministry of Culture (Cairo, Egypt); the Dublin Electronic Arts Festival (Ireland); the American University Museum (Washington, DC); Maryland Institute College of Art (Baltimore); the Phillips Collection (Washington, DC); and Syracuse University (New York). Ryan has twice received fellowships to attended the Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity (Alberta, Canada), and has attended a residency at the Djerassi Resident Artists Program (California), supported by the Ford Family Foundation.

Primary

An exhibition that explores the use of color within contemporary art, and includes a range of artists who consider color as a core concern of their work

March 22 – April 25, 2018

Curator: Jason Karolak
Reception: April 13, 5:00- 7:00 p.m.
Artists: Lee Arnold, Robert Burnier, Torkwase Dyson, Gabriele Evertz, Beverly Fishman, Clare Grill, Adam Henry, Gina Hunt, John Opera, Armita Raafat, Cary Smith, Arjan Zazueta

The Korn Gallery is pleased to announce the group exhibition PRIMARY, curated by Jason Karolak.

Image: Adam Henry, Untitled (4sp4dm), 2017, synthetic polymers on linen, 16×14 inches

This exhibition explores the use of color within contemporary art, and includes a range of artistic practices that employ color as a core concern. Gabriele Evertz makes abstract paintings, composed of vertical bands, that investigate how color areas situate in space and project forward (or backward) in relation to neighboring areas. Also interested in the phenomenal workings of color, Gina Hunt uses hand-dyed scrim constructions to filter natural light into interior environments. Through process-based formats that engage both photography and painting, John Opera examines how light functions perceptually and philosophically. Lee Arnold’s videos consider similar questions while speaking to the spheres of science and the natural world. Torkwase Dyson, who almost exclusively uses various blacks in her drawings and paintings, examines bodily relationships to materiality and liquidity, with subtle references to cultural and environmental issues. Beverly Fishman, Robert Burnier, and Armita Raafat make dimensional objects that function between painting and sculpture. Fishman’s minimal works are composed of saturated, often fluorescent hues to suggest color’s narcotic power. Burnier’s bended and folded forms, with specific, hard-to-name colors, appear reductive while retaining an improvisational openness. Raafat’s blue sculptural works reference Islamic architecture and design, ornament and repetition, as they also speak to geometric abstraction. The paintings of Cary Smith, using a primarily geometric vocabulary, organize and balance color into precise, handmade resolutions. Arjan Zazueta also uses a palette of bright, strong color to playfully consider pictorial pleasure during dark political times. Adam Henry’s paintings use color as a central component in their questions about language, repetition, and perception. Clare Grill’s organic, intuitively responsive paintings accumulate smaller markings and sensations into cohesive fields of seductive color. The exhibition aims to feature individual approaches to color usage and art-making, while creating a dialogue of related conversations between works.

The Korn Gallery is located in the Dorothy Young Center for the Arts at Drew University and is open Tuesday through Friday 12:30-4:00 PM, selected weekends and by appointment. Free Admission.

Interface

January 30 – March 2, 2018

Curator: Lee Arnold
Reception: February 2, 5:00 – 7:00 p.m.
Artist Talk: February 2, 2:00 – 3:00 p.m. / ARTS 106

The Korn Gallery is pleased to announce the exhibition Interface by artist Gina Werfel.

Like polyphony in music Werfel’s work consists of textures of multiple independent voices. In her recent paintings, she employs a wide vocabulary of marks which slyly reference the influence of Photoshop on contemporary visual culture. A shallow space, in which a combination of clearly defined graphical lines and stencils sit on the surface, contrasts with a more ambiguous environment made up of naturalistic gestures that fade in and out of focus like a distant memory. In a process-driven series of mono-prints the removal of the hand suggests this dichotomy even more strongly.

Recent travels abroad have influenced Werfel’s work. Inspired by a stay in Singapore in 2015 where she taught at Yale-NUS College, Werfel began to layer stencils over her gestural brush marks. In 2016 while a visiting artist at the American Academy in Rome, she renewed her interest in Baroque ceiling paintings and incorporated their spatial complexity into her compositions.

Trained at Columbia University, the New York Studio School and Hamilton College, Werfel has been featured in numerous exhibitions. Recent solo exhibitions include the Coombs Gallery at American University of Paris, Prince Street Gallery in NYC, and the Mondavi Winery in Napa, CA. She has been awarded residencies at the American Academy in Rome, the Rockefeller Foundation’s Bellagio Center in Italy, the Djerassi Foundation in California, the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts, and Yosemite National Park. She recently completed a public art commission Clearing for Burnett Miller Park in McKinley Village in Sacramento.

Werfel is a Professor of Art at University of California Davis.

Re-Drawn

October 20–November 21, 2017

Curator: Claire Sherman
Reception: November 10, 5–7 p.m.
Artist Talk: November 10, 2 p.m., Arts 106
Admission: Free

The Korn Gallery is pleased to announce the exhibition Re-Drawn by artist Cynthia Lin.

Cynthia Lin uses painting, drawing, digital and lithographic processes to alternate between mapping and improvisation.

Hyper-detailed images of skin, orifices and scars, acquired through direct computer scans of the body, become sites for excavation: a variety of approaches are used, including hand-drawn, digital, and lithographic techniques. Applied to large scale, these processes become unpredictable, thus alternately reinforcing recognition and introducing alternative interpretation. Multiple, ongoing translations, supported by representational and digital structures, intertwine the familiar, subconscious, and irreconcilable.

Cynthia Lin was born in Taiwan and grew up near Chicago, Illinois. She currently lives in New York and works in Brooklyn. Cynthia Lin was awarded a New York Foundation for the Arts Finalist in Printmaking/Drawing/Book Arts in 2014 and a John Simon Guggenheim Fellowship in 2006. She has shown at Lehmann Maupin Gallery, Yossi Milo Gallery, DeCordova Museum, Pierogi Gallery, Garis & Hahn Gallery, Michael Steinberg Gallery, The National Academy of Design, The Drawing Center, Weatherspoon Art Museum and Kentler International Drawing Space. Her work is in collections at the Minneapolis Institute of Art and the Dallas Museum of Art. Fellowships include The Brown Foundation Fellows Program at the Dora Maar House in Menerbes, France, as well as Yaddo, The MacDowell Colony, The Space Program at the Marie Walsh Sharpe Art Foundation, Blue Mountain Center, Djerassi Resident Artists Program, and the Visiting Artists and Scholars Program at the American Academy in Rome.

She is Assistant Professor and Area Coordinator of Painting + Drawing at Purchase College, SUNY.

The Korn Gallery is located in the Dorothy Young Center for the Arts at Drew University and is open Tuesday through Friday 12:30-4:00 PM, selected weekends and by appointment.

Distant Exposure

Curator: Kimberly Rhodes

March 21- April 25, 2017
Reception: April 7, 5:30 – 7:30 p.m.

Free Admission

The Korn Gallery is pleased to announce the exhibition Distant Exposure by Patty Cateura.  To counteract the passive intake of images that bombard us daily, Cateura’s paintings entice the viewer to slow down and pause.  Her art originates from time spent in remote landscapes, hiking, camping- being in nature. Back in the studio, this inspiring exposure yields flattened and juxtaposed abstract shapes of mountains, vistas, canyons, rivers and sea. Color is precisely chosen and hand-made from dispersion pigment.  Perspective is vast and skewed within the infinite expanse of monochromatic space. Occasional floating and fragmented geometric shapes allude to the man-made. Yet nature prevails in hills, trees, desert and pure color fields. Through the openness and sometimes emptiness of her compositions, Cateura evokes nature’s vibrancy, power, scale, and stillness as an arresting visual pause from the overdose of our media driven digital lives.

Patty Cateura attended Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture, received an MFA from The Maryland Institute of the Arts and a BA from Oberlin College. Her work has been shown throughout the US including recent solo shows at Robert Henry Contemporary, Brooklyn, NY; Carol Shen Gallery, Brooklyn, NY; The Cooler Gallery, VT; and Gregory Lind Gallery, San Francisco, CA. She has been awarded residencies at: The Elizabeth Foundation for the Arts; Yaddo; The MacDowell Colony; Virginia Center for the Creative Arts; and The Millay Colony. She has received painting grants from the New York Foundation for the Arts and The Pollock-Krasner Foundation

Sam I Am

ARTIST TALK: February 3, 4;30  ART 106

Free Admission

The Korn Gallery is pleased to announce the exhibition Sam I Am by Rory Mulligan.

Rory Mulligan is a photographer who explores the history of an urban landscape that was the setting of human violence.  He comments on the erasure of the site that attempts to re-write its history. Mulligan compares this guise to ancient male human violence, which he suggests conceals masculine vulnerability.

In addition to the solo exhibition at the Korn Gallery, Mulligan had solo exhibitions at Motus Fort, Tokyo, Japan and Center Gallery at Fordham University, New York, NY.  His work was included in group shows at Crosstown Arts, Memphis, TN; Lisa Cooley, New York, NY; Skirball Museum, Cincinnati, OH; the Institute of Contemporary Art, Philadelphia, PA, as well as other galleries and institutions. His awards include the Process Space Residence, Lower Manhattan Cultural Council, New York, NY; the Photography Fellowship Commendation Award, Silver Eye Center for Photography, and the Ward Cheney Memorial Award, Yale University, New Haven, CT. His work is collected by The Philadelphia Museum of Art.

Rory Mulligan received a BA from Fordham University and an MFA from Yale University. He currently teaches at Drew University in Madison, NJ.

The Gallery is located in the Dorothy Young Center for the Arts at Drew University and is open Tuesday through Friday 12:30-4:00 PM, selected weekends and by appointment.

Artist Statement

Sounding. Listening. Connecting. Dreaming.

I am an unabashed animist. I believe that everything is infused with what, for want of better word, might be called spirit. There is intelligence at the heart of all matter. Human intelligence is just one peculiar manifestation of this larger ground of being. Other manifestations are radically different, incomprehensible to conventional human sensibilities. Yet all things give voice to the underlying cohering essence, the spirit swirling through cells, molecules, atoms, quarks and superstrings. If we listen carefully we can resonate along with these primary vibrations and receive information, knowledge, altered understanding.

 This has been the thrust of the teaching by the Singing Masks that I have been making and employing in ceremonial/performances over the past thirty-five years. Their voices and iconographic presences have been continual reminders of connection with that animistic sense of spirit-essence in rivers, rocks, sky, trees, as well as among all things animate. They have become guides in all my work into shifting perspectives, into experiencing everything as holy (William Blake), into mythic and oneiric reality. This same sensibility has also come to inform my approach to making automata, sculptural instruments and a variety of multimedia creations.

The ceremonial/performance pieces inspired by the Singing Masks are not entertainments in a traditional sense. They are not music, theater or dance meant to tell a story or lead one along a preconceived path. They are more often invitations to dive into ineffable richness and chaos even, to discover and explore

 Whenever possible I like to make use of found objects as well as inexpensive materials, including electronics. I have also sometimes incorporated state-of-the-art computer technology to loop and pitch-shift the voices of the masks in real-time. This can be heard in recordings of some performances. I do not hide the technology. Nor do I make much effort to gloss over the inevitable awkward gestures needed to control the devices in my near-blind masked condition. I have an interest in the convergence of the primal and the present, the sacred and the mundane. In the Dream Time presence of the masks, automata, sculptural instruments and multimedia, even the most trivial occurrence may be recognized as having its own kind of perfection and beauty.

Dreaming. Connecting. Listening. Sounding.

Artist Statement

Left turns at night.

I only work from life, which is a half-truth.

I make left turns more than right turns, mostly at night. At those stoplights that don’t have a green turn signal I wait for a break in the oncoming traffic, and go.

The painting is me in space.

Continuity is contingent on interruptions, or is it the other way around?

‘What if’s and ‘why not’s.

Looking begins with naming.

Painting is simultaneity experienced viscerally.

Does knowing something is abstract make it more real?

Does something verifiable open up the possibility for abstract thought?

The image is everywhere; I wonder what stays.

Contours and silhouettes,

Echoes and parallel possibilities,

Spaces interrupted and painterly interventions.

processes of life and decay

June 3 – June 24, 2016
Opening Reception : June 3, 4-6 p.m.
Artist Talk: June 3, 4:30p.m.

I seek to understand why humans are so troubled by the inevitable processes of life and decay that we feel a need to create an artificial distance between ourselves and the aspects of the human experience that make us uncomfortable.

I am speaking to the distancing from our food sources, from our bodies, from our instincts, from the environment and from death. We’ve developed machines and unnatural procedures in hopes of bypassing the difficult or distressing conditions of life. We try to perpetuate the good: keep our food fresh, preserve our bodies, and fight sickness & corrosion. As in the story of Siddhartha’s enlightenment, we are being blinded from the negative sights and ultimately prevented from seeing life for what it really is: as a process of constant change.

With my work I am tracing the symptoms of the epidemic that I observe to be stemming from mankind’s disengagement with their natural processes, and through the creation of investigative artworks that focus on the abnormalities arising out of repetitive manipulation, I offer up my notes to the world in the hopes that someone more political than I will be curious enough to respond with a solution.

Sleep has Eyes
Exhibition:  March 17 – April 30, 2016
Reception: April 1, 5:30 -7:30 p.m.
Artist Talk: March 31, 5:00 p.m.

The Korn Gallery is pleased to present the exhibition Sleep has Eyes by Robert Yarber on view March 17 through April 30, 2016. The Gallery is located in the Dorothy Young Center for the Arts at Drew University and is open Tuesday through Friday 12:30-4 p.m., selected weekends and by appointment.

This exhibition consists of paintings and drawings Yarber has done from 2005 to the present. Organized by Drew Professor of Art, Michael Peglau, the exhibition features work whose focus lies not in the pursuit of simple family resemblances of style nor of a series of imagistically related works. Instead Yarber has elected work for this show which all arose of what he has termed, ‘the intensity of his response to the moment.’

Since the early 1970’s, Yarber has created a unique oeuvre which is remarkable in the compositional complexities of its inhabited and natural spaces and in its deployment of figures, ranging from supine to falling to levitating.  Yarber’s work is no less fascinating in terms of his great resources as a colorist. Beyond his total command of both artificial and natural light effects, he often pushes his color into an extreme zone, where coupled with his imagery, it unmoors his work from being exclusively engaged in a shared social world. Instead, his color in it’s aggressive, incandescent interaction with his imagery opens into an interior world where, while we all venture there, unlike Yarber few of us return fully cognizant of its uncanny vividness.

Yarber has had a remarkable career with numerous exhibits in New York, including the Whitney Biennial, many exhibitions internationally, including the Venice Biennial, and many exhibitions in major galleries in Los Angeles and San Francisco. He currently is a distinguished Professor of Art at Pennsylvania State University.

January 18 – February 20
Reception: February 5, 5:30 – 7:30 p.m.

Ben Pranger’s current sculpture combines organic and architectural elements in hybrid constructions of papier-mâché, plaster, wood and paint. Moving between organization and chaos, the work often begins with a fragment of a previous work. Blobby masses are built around skeletal structures or scaffolding supports bulbous growths. These contrasting forms operate in tension: pixilated grids emerge from fluid forms like cities colonizing an indeterminate terrain. The sculpture is a kind of failed architecture, where structures, overwhelmed by disaster, collapse under the weight of matter, only to rise again from the ruins to rebuild the city anew. While the sculpture is decidedly low-tech, investigating material-based abstraction, it also imagines future worlds and habitations, suggesting sci-fi, dystopian scenarios.

Ben Pranger earned a BFA from Oberlin College and MFA from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. He has shown his work throughout the U.S., including recent group shows at Drawing Rooms (NJ), Artist-Run/ Satellite Show (Miami), Trestle Gallery (NY) and Grizzly Grizzly (PA). He has participated in artist residencies at Kohler Art/Industry, Fine Arts Work Center of Provincetown, the Marie Walsh Sharpe Studio Program, and the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts, and has received sculpture grants from the Virginia Commission for the Arts, the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, the Pollock-Krasner Foundation and the New Jersey Council for Art.
