For immediate release
ARTspace reopens with plant
Magic dust, solo show by Dawn
Breeze
In its new venue ARTsapce is pleased to announce plant Magic dust, a solo exhibition
of work by Dawn Breeze, opening May 24th, 2014. The gallery is now located at 71
Palatine Road in Germantown.
The
body of work exhibited in plant Magic dust demonstrates Breeze’s
continual fascination with interwoven connections of thought, time, place,
transformation and materials as subject. Using materials such as plastic,
cloth, dirt and plants, Breeze embraces the importance of the materials she is
using, and considers their story as well. This reciprocal relationship to
materials is key to Breeze’s work as a Process Artist. She might consciously
choose the materials she is working with, but the relationship with them
evolves as she plays with and nurtures them. Breeze encourages the materials to
tell their story. “…I want to ask it: are you paint, are you minerals,
are you flowers, are you death, are you life, are you a hot day in Africa, how
can I appreciate and honor you?”
Curated by Sarah Bachelier the exhibition
title plant Magic dust was chosen as homage to the poem with the
same title written by E.E. Cummings.
plant Magic Dust will open on Saturday, May 24th and run to June 15th. A reception will be held on the 24th from 5-7.
ARTspace is located at 71 Palatine Road, No 7, Germantown, NY 12526.
Hours are
Saturday from 11-5 and Sunday
11-3.
