PRIMARY @ NUDASHANK opens TONIGHT!

PRIMARY

Opening Friday, August 17th
7 - 10pm

Nudashank is pleased to present Primary, a guest curated survey of recent works in abstraction by ten, female New-York based artists. The exhibition includes works by Katie Bell, Tatiana Berg, Susan Bricker, Stacy Fisher, Amanda B. Friedman, Joanne Greenbaum, Clare Grill, Fabienne Lasserre, Lauren Luloff and Elisa Soliven.

Working against convention, these artists are putting into practice an "abject expressionism" in respect to materials, composition, color and form, sharing a rogue sense of what constitutes beauty. Among other things, the works in this exhibition reflect an instinctual acting upon surfaces or materials. The artists’ touches are visible, active, and at times assertive--each tear, scrape, twist and drip intentional and impactful. Comprised of paintings, sculpture and the in-between, Primary is not interested in complete resolution and finishing touches--just warm embraces of the imperfect, irregular and open-ended.

Primary opens on August 17, 2012, with a reception for the artists from 7-10pm. The exhibition runs through September 14, 2012

• Had his picture on my wall, my one and only
• It started at school, me pressed up against the bricks
• In the summer out back, in the sticks
• The city screamed to us from it’s canyons
• With its beats and passion and sins
• We scrawled our names on its walls
• An ancient city—
• we moaned our love down its halls
• We scratched our names in the sand
• And when we fought I scratched lines in his hand
• I saved all our memories in my scrapbook
• Empty pack of cigs, a ticket stub, all ready for one look
• That day it rained, he came round the same way
• The clouds crowning down, waiting for our play
• Oh, yeah and how we had loved minute to minute
• Never lookin up, not thinkin time would tip it
