Friday, March 6 Art Reception 7-10pm, free
This exhibition features collaborative collages by Daniel Healy and Damon Smith, as well as examples of their individual works. Daniel Healy creates collage-oriented paintings, or painterly collages (depending on your vantage point) that refer to the consumer-culture glut of the waning stages of late capitalism that surrounds us. His abstract compositional sense harnesses the tectonic quality of Robert Motherwell, Franz Kline, and the like while his love of detail within these larger fields speaks to a post-Victorian agoraphobic horror vacui. Damon Smith is self-taught as a visual artist, and his experimental attitudes toward music are apparent in the visual realm as well. Inspired by the post-Minimalist "truth to materials" approach, he incorporates an abstract drawing style with collage and assemblage techniques (and more recently delving into video montage) - using a range of traditional and unconventional materials in an inves tigation of what these tools can do. Live music by Damon Smith and Tony Dryer.
In the Gallery - Collaborative Collage - runs March 6th through Sunday March 8th.
