3 Solo Shows Elyse Mallouk, "Always On My Mind", 2010, video still
Notes for an Open Score: Elyse Mallouk Solo Show October 22-November 21, 2010* In the Triple Basement: Peter Scherrer In the Backroom: Rachel Kaye Triple Base is pleased to announce multi-media artist Elyse Mallouk’s second solo show at the gallery. The exhibition, Notes for an Open Score, is an experiment in the limits of sentimental expression. Using video, sculpture, text, and drawings, Mallouk reduces romance novels and pop love songs to their most basic elements: words, rhythm, tempo and intonation, so that their sentiment is made to bleed, silent and suspended. The works take ubiquitous ways of expressing connection — ones that are repeatedly claimed and dedicated on late night radio — and directs them instead toward elusiveness through a systematic removal of information. A coinciding Event Series “Sunday is for Lovers” will take place in the gallery November 7, 14 & 21, 2-7pm. Live music and poetry readings will revolve around the theme of love. Poet Tom Comitta will curate readings by a diverse group of established and emerging Bay Area poets. Featured musicians will include: 45isdistance, The Old Thunderhearts, The Lambs, Crooked I, Small Hands, Creature Comforts, Marc Dantona & Friends and many more TBA. In the Triple Basement, painter Peter Scherrer (Bellingham, WA) will present a new body of paintings within a site-specific tent structure. Scherrer’s work relates to the history of the Pacific Northwest – from homesteaders, miners and loggers to music posters, hippies and folk art. Triple Base’s Backroom will feature an exhibition of eye-popping new colored pencil drawings by gallery artist Rachel Kaye (San Francisco). Kaye’s new body of work brings into focus the fashion industry’s obsession with the primitive. The artist has culled Missoni and Givenchy magazine ads and selected key details to render in great detail. *Coinciding Event Series: “Sunday is for Lovers” November 7, 14 & 21, 2-7pm Regular Gallery Hours: Thu-Sun, 12-5pm
