THE WORLD ACCORDING TO
Roberley Bell / Isidro Blasco / Julian Montague / Alejandro Moreno / Santiago Taccetti
Amy Talluto / Michael Van den Besselaar / Eric White
The exhibition will showcase the diversity of the gallery program. The 8 artists included with works representing a variety of media (paintings, installations, sculpture, photography and design) reveal the sharp awareness they have of today’s circumstances. Ranging from Michael Van den Besselaar’s witty and wry observations on a range of familiar social subjects and Eric White’s insightful commentary on the absurdities of life, Isidro Blasco's artist-designed architectural environments, Amy Talluto's quiet and expansive natural worlds and Roberley Bell's focus on the artifice of nature, toAlejandro Moreno's and Julian Montague’s exploration of everything from the mundane to the sublime through text and image, the works in this exhibition cover a wide range of practices, lending the exhibition an uncanny edge.

Winter 2012 Artist-in-Residence: Santiago Taccetti
March 10 - May 19, 2012
Opening reception: Saturday, March 10th, 6-9pm
The exhibition
will feature a dramatic site-specific installation Smoke & Mirrors /
Nothing To See Here by the Berlin-based Argentinean artist Santiago Taccetti.
Integrating with the Black & White Project Space’s architecture, the simple
plastic structure lit from inside and filled with smoke will occupy the outdoor
gallery revealing itself as an illusion on closer inspection. The illusion of
entering an area clearly defined by four walls is broken as soon as the
observer enters the brightly lit cube triggering the smoke machine. What is to
be experienced is the infinite space without any clear distinction between the
inner and outer spaces.
Smoke & Mirrors / Nothing To See Here installation masterly plays with the observer’s illusion by incorporating materials such as smoke machine, fluorescent lights and reflective PLEXI panels that confront observers with themselves.
