The exhibition Managing Object Expectations opened April 14 at the Center for Curatorial Studies at Bard College and is curated by Sabrina Blaichman. The group exhibition includes artists Nairy Baghramian, Zilla Leutenegger, Seth Price, Michael St. John, Chris Thorson, and Rosemarie Trocker. The show runs through May 25. "Managing Object Expectations proposes an intersection of artistic craft and the influence of everyday objects. The artists represented have chosen to create everyday objects rather than nominate them from non-artistic fields of production. By employing strategies of re-contextualization or unexpected uses of form and material, the works open spaces for new thought processes and realities."
The exhibition As Night Strolled Over to See What's Up opens May 6 at Robert Blackburn Printmaking Workshop Program at The Elizabeth Foundation for the Arts and is curated by Oxbow's own OS13 Nora Rodriguez. The opening reception is May 9 and the show runs through May 28. "As Night features the work of five artists - Glen Baldridge, Robin Cameron, Michael Drueger, Phyllis Ma and Chris Thorson - who engage with the print's potential for infinite reproduction. Exisiting as singular objects or limited editions, these works invoke the technology and texture of commercial printing."
