SUMMARY:Sharon Kopriva: Cathedrals\, Phantoms and Naked Dogs
DESCRIPTION:Sharon Kopriva \nCathedrals\, Phantoms and Naked Dogs \nMay 14th to June 25th\, 2011 \nOpening Reception: Saturday\, May 14th from 6:30 – 8:30 p.m. \n  \nDeborah Colton are pleased to announce an exhibition of recent works by Sharon Kopriva at Deborah Colton Gallery\, Houston. \nIn “Cathedrals Phantoms and Naked Dogs\,” Kopriva’s past religious imagery becomes a backdrop to address social issues and political events. The underlying foundations of the larger two dimensional works are from found\, altered and enlarged images of cathedrals which become backgrounds for imaginary\, mystical and sometimes whimsical works on canvas. The few remnants of past Kopriva popes and ghosts have been all but replaced by phantom dogs running amuck amid “hallowed halls” and serene woodland scenes where the forest itself becomes a palace. Rich and gestured lines are fused with relief elements and build outs. \nIn some of the paintings\, hairless hounds become metaphors for basic human social qualities. These canines mirror our inner\, secret feelings as they irreverently traipse\, dance and fly across columns and arches of spacious\, once holy cathedrals. The dogs symbolize both the anxiety and curiosity of life in these chaotic times. Three-dimensional hounds\, both plaster and bronze\, accompany the wall works\, exhibiting human expressions of pride\, avarice\, gluttony\, envy and lust\, basic human frailties that continue to feed war\, political turmoil\, hunger and religious unrest. \nSharon Ortman Kopriva is a Houston native. Her career was kicked off in 1985 in the “Fresh Paint” exhibition at the Museum of Fine Arts Houston. In the past twenty-five years she has shown her art in major cities of the United States\, Mexico\, Peru\, India\, Cuba\, China and parts of Europe. Her most noted exhibition was a solo curated by the legendary Walter Hopps at the Menil Collection in 2000. Her most remembered might be an accidental group exhibit at the Harris County Morgue. Her works are included in ten public collections. \n  \nDeborah Colton Gallery is founded on being an innovative showcase for ongoing presentation and promotion of strong historical and visionary contemporary artists world-wide\, whose diverse practices include painting\, works on paper\, sculpture\, video\, photography\, performance\, conceptual future media and public space installations. The Gallery aspires to provide a forum through connecting Texas\, national and international artist s to make positive change.

SUMMARY:Christian Tomaszewski: Highlights of Two Projects
DESCRIPTION:Deborah Colton Gallery Exhibitions \nNovember 20th\, 2010 – January 29th\, 2011 \nPublic Opening Reception: Saturday\, November 20\, 2010\, 6:00 to 9:00 PM \n  \nTerence La Noue\, Tributaries \nTerence La Noue was a Fulbright Meister Student at Hochscule fur Bildenden Kunste and received his Master of Fine Arts degree from Cornell University. La Noue has received grants from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Guggenheim Foundation. He has had an extensive teaching experience at Trinity College\, City University of New York and New York University.  Terence La Noue’s unique approach to painting and printmaking has achieved worldwide recognition. Beginning in Berlin in 1965\, he has had over a hundred and thirty acclaimed solo exhibitions. His work is represented in the permanent collections of major museums including The Museum of Modern Art in New York\, The Metropolitan Museum of Art\, the Whitney Museum of Art\, the Guggenheim Museum\, the Tate Modern in London and others in Japan\, Singapore\, France and Australia. His work is also included in numerous university and city art museums throughout the U.S. as well as major corporate collections. Terence La Noue’s exhibitions have been reviewed by some of the most significant critics of our time. An extensive monograph entitled Terence La Noue by the renowned critic and art historian Dore Ashton relates his travels\, influences and life’s work. \n  \n  \nExcerpts from the MAC – Dallas:  Mary Beth Edelson and Molly Gochman \nExcerpts from the McKinney Avenue Contemporary’s more comphrensive exhibitions\, There is Never Only One Game in Town\, work by Mary Beth Edelson and Other Stories\, work by Molly Gochman\, on view at the MAC through December 11th.  Mary Beth Edelson\, emerged in the 1960s on New York’s SoHO scene as a groundbreaking feminist artist. Noted is most art history books\, her conceptually-based work activates a variety of women’s and human rights issues. She has worked in collaborative and/or political environments\, participating in the early exhibitions at A.I.R. Gallery (founded in 1972)\, taking part in the Heresies Collective\, and helping to lead the Women’s Action Coalition\,1992–1994. Her work has been exhibited around the world and she is represented in major collections such as MoMA and the Guggenheim Museum of Art in New York\, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago\, the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington DC and the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis. Molly Gochman\, a Houston- and New York-based younger artist\, formulates ideas of community and subjective interconnectedness in her growing oeuvre\, characterized by fluid visuality and the use of multiple media. From her dual bases in Houston and New York\, Molly Gochman has created a diverse portfolio of work that is both personal and philosophical – a contemplation on concepts of interest\, like time and change\, value\, love relationships\, and balance. Since 2002\, Gochman has exhibited widely in galleries and public spaces such as the Lincoln Center and the Emily Harvey Foundation in New York\, the Hobby Center for the Performing Arts\, Deborah Colton Gallery\, and DiverseWorks in Houston\, and the Sara Roney Gallery in Sydney\, Australia.  Molly Gochman was well received at the Colton & Farb Gallery Dallas Art Fair Exhibition and is in many important collections. \n  \n  \nChristian Tomaszewski\, Highlights of Two Projects \nChristian Tomaszewski was born in Gdansk\, Poland\, graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Poznan\, Poland and currently lives and teaches from his home base in New York City now.

For the next 20 years\, Rusovich traveled the world\, photographing people for institutions\, principally in New York and Los Angeles. He debuted his provocative fine arts photography\, titled “INSIDE OUT” at Deborah Colton Gallery the spring of 2005. An artist with great potential and one of the stars of the Colton & Farb Gallery 2010 Dallas Art Fair exhibition\, Jay is known for his controversial style\, which can be described as “intuitive\, engaging\, intense\, direct\, quick-witted…and sometimes tinged with irony.” \n  \n  \n  \nDeborah Colton Gallery is founded on being an innovative showcase for ongoing presentation and promotion of strong historical and visionary contemporary artists world-wide\, whose diverse practices include painting\, works on paper\, sculpture\, video\, photography\, performance\, conceptual future media and public space installations.

SUMMARY:Marianne Vitale: Presser
DESCRIPTION:Marianne Vitale \nNew Work \nMay 8th\, 2010 to June 26th\, 2010 \nOpening Reception: Saturday\, May 8th\,  6:00 to 8:00 pm. \n  \nDeborah Colton is pleased to announce an exhibition of new work by the quixotic New York artist Marianne Vitale at Deborah Colton Gallery\, Houston. In a vibrant series of large paintings\, dense and thick with pigment\, Vitale hypertrophies the intricate intimacy of her pen and ink drawings into a churning no-fly zone over the contemporary. Accompanying these canvases\, Vitale has constructed one of her hybrid sculptures out of found material and debris reclaimed from the neighborhoods surrounding the gallery. \nAlso on view are two series of drawings: five colorful and riddling pen and ink compositions (2008)\, and nine fast and forcible sequential graphite drawings on copper-coated paper (2009). \nThis is Vitale’s third exhibition with Deborah Colton: Chemical City (2007)\, a group show in which Vitale presented Crude Oil on Silk and Flipper Baritone\, among other works\, and later that year a solo production entitled Tryst at Urn Stye. \nMarianne Vitale is a New York artist working in various mediums.  Her sculptural practice often evokes an idea of the natural world remade from what has been discarded and abandoned.  Recently brought together with metal and made permanent\, Vitale freezes these forms into make-shift structures\, fantastic creatures\, hybrid animals and contorted beasts that can appear both fragile and menacing.   Sometimes sympathetic\, often uneasy\, Vitale’s sculptures pull the tension between figure and abstraction\, mid-process of either melting or forming\, with skin dripping from their frames. These extracts stretch\, move\, coil\, hide\, and invite to mark an encounter of sinister illusoriness. When using performance and video\, Vitale draws on the instinctive yet carefully sculpted absurdity apparent in her drawings and sculptures\, with an added personal physicality that creates a visceral\, even combative relationship between artist and audience. Vitale’s work has been exhibited internationally\, including the 2010 Whitney Biennial\, SculptureCenter\, White Columns\, Kunstverein NY\, all in New York; Kling & Bang\, Reykjavik\, Iceland; Deborah Colton Gallery\, Houston\, Texas; IBID Projects\, London\, UK; and the Cass Sculpture Foundation\, Sussex\, England. \n  \nDeborah Colton Gallery is founded on being an innovative showcase for ongoing presentation and promotion of strong historical and visionary contemporary artists world-wide\, whose diverse practices include painting\, works on paper\, sculpture\, video\, photography\, performance\, conceptual future media and public space installations. The Gallery aspires to provide a forum through connecting Texas\, national and international artist s to make positive change.

SUMMARY:Nathaniel Donnett: Black Plastic and tha Paper Bag Kids in tha Soulecistic Playground
DESCRIPTION:Nathaniel Donnett \nBlack Plastic and tha Paper Bag Kids in tha Soulecistic Playground \nMay 8th\, 2010 to June 26th\, 2010 \nOpening Reception: Saturday\, May 8th 6 – 8p.m. \n  \nDeborah Colton is pleased to announce an exhibition of new mixed media drawings\, sculptures and installations by Nathaniel Donnett at Deborah Colton Gallery\, Houston. \nBlack Plastic and tha Paper Bag Kids in tha Soulecistic Playground by Nathaniel Donnett explores the psychology of social interaction and the development of social patterns from early life to the present. Donnett follows patterns in seemingly innocent places like childhood playgrounds\, depicting the influence on an individual\, specifically those in African American communities\, and how that influence impacts the evolution of society as a whole. \nInfluential to the pieces created for this exhibition is Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids show – a cartoon that aired in the seventies. In creating the series\, Bill Cosby sought the advice of several psychiatrists to assure that there were no negative stereotypes that could result from children watching the program. The children in the show came from a working class neighborhood where they faced everyday challenges and societal issues such as honesty\, identity\, education\, and being different. The children utilized their imagination creating functional objects from discarded materials or “junk”. They created their own world from the materials available to them. \nAs African Americans attempt to articulate their unique situation\, they developed a coded language for their survival – ebonics\, slang\, and signifyin’. Nathaniel incorporates this method of articulation in titling his pieces by combining words that reflect the spirit of the piece with a “shout out” to particular artists. \nTalking about his work Nathaniel Donnett says: “I use the playground\, The Fat Albert show\, along with music\, memories\, reclaimed materials and objects\, traditional art materials\, and traditions both African and African American. Language also helps me investigate the definitions and psychology of blackness and color-ism.” Nathaniel queries\, “As adults\, are the roles we play a memory that was formulated from our playground experience? How can being dark or light\, being called black or Black\, nappy headed or good haired affect a child who becomes an adult? How does one define blackness? How do these things play in other cultures\, races\, and ethnic groups if at all?”  Black Plastic and tha Paper Bag Kids in tha Soulecistic Playground by Nathaniel Donnett is a “collage” of all those questions and ideas. \nNathaniel Donnett is a 2010 Artadia Award recipient and was nominated for the Louis Comfort Tiffany Grant in 2009. His works have been shown at the 2010 Armory\, Deborah Colton Gallery\, Texas Southern University Museum and Lawndale Art Center. He was invited to participate in Project Row Houses. \n  \nDeborah Colton Gallery is founded on being an innovative showcase for ongoing presentation and promotion of strong historical and visionary contemporary artists world-wide\, whose diverse practices include painting\, works on paper\, sculpture\, video\, photography\, performance\, conceptual future media and public space installations. The Gallery aspires to provide a forum through connecting Texas\, national and international artist s to make positive change.

SUMMARY:FotoFest 2010 Biennial Exhibition: Labyrinth of Desire
DESCRIPTION:Frank Rodick \nLabyrinth of Desire:  Work by Frank Rodick \nMarch 13th\, 2010 to April 24th\, 2010 \nArtist and Curator in Conversation: Sunday\, March 14th at 1 pm \n  \nDeborah Colton Gallery is pleased to announce a mid-career exhibition and book surveying the photo-based work of Canadian artist Frank Rodick at Colton & Farb Gallery\, Houston. Labyrinth of Desire:  Work by Frank Rodick\, offers an extraordinary look into the creative process of one of the field’s most interesting artists and will feature selections from his several bodies of work\, from the early black-and-white images in Liquid City and sub rosa to the multiple\, toned images of Arena and Faithless Grottoes. The artist’s most recent multi-media work will be shown here for the first time in a special installation within the exhibition. The exhibition is timed to coincide with the Houston-based FotoFest\, founded in 1983 as the first international biennial of photography and photo-based art in the United States. \nRodick\, an internationally recognized artist whose work was last seen in the United States at the Deborah Colton Gallery – in the 2008 group show Reflections and the 2007 solo show The Longest Night — creates powerful\, evocative\, and sometimes controversial pictures that integrate elements of traditional photography\, alternative darkroom techniques\, video\, and digital imaging. \nIn his more recent work\, Rodick alters and combines images into sequenced compositions that explore the complex realm of the human psyche\, probing the ambiguity of our inner lives. His juxtaposition of images mimics the imprecise and non-linear workings of our private thoughts\, memories\, and desires. “Hallucinatory as they might sometimes seem\,” Rodick says of his work\, “what I’m looking for are images that feel more intimately real than our cursory experience of everyday life\, images that give a voice to the worlds that live inside us and which somehow demand witness.” \nRodick’s work has been exhibited widely throughout North America\, Latin America\, and Europe. His work is in the collections of numerous institutions in the United States\, including the Museum of Fine Arts\, Houston; the Philadelphia Museum of Art; the Brooklyn Museum\, and the Kinsey Institute. Internationally\, his work is in the collections of the Canadian Museum of Contemporary Photography in Ottawa; the Musée de la Photographie à Charleroi in Belgium; the Museet for Fotokunst in Denmark; and the Museo Nacional de Bella Artes de Buenos Aires in Argentina. \nThe curator for the exhibition is Katherine Ware\, formerly a curator at the Philadelphia Museum of Art and the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles\, who is now Curator of Photography at the New Mexico Museum of Art in Santa Fe\, New Mexico. She has organized exhibitions of work by contemporary photographers as well as by masters such as Harry Callahan\, Man Ray\, and László Moholy-Nagy. Ware’s publications include Dreaming in Black and White: Photography at the Julien Levy Gallery\, Elemental Landscapes: The Photographs of Harry Callahan; In Focus: Man Ray; In Focus: László Moholy-Nagy; and essays on Man Ray\, Bauhaus photography\, and contemporary photography. She first encountered Rodick’s work at FotoFest in Houston and subsequently chose his work for the 2006 exhibition Discoveries of the Meeting Place. “Rodick’s relentless examination of the inner workings of the human animal never ceases to intrigue me\,” Ware said. “Despite the valiant work of Dr. Freud and some of his successors\, our emotional landscapes remain relatively mysterious and uncharted.” \nA publication surveying Rodick’s career\, with an essay by the curator\, will be published by the gallery in conjunction with the exhibition. \n  \nColton & Farb Gallery is part of Deborah Colton Gallery\, which is founded on being an innovative showcase for ongoing presentation and promotion of strong historical and visionary contemporary artists world-wide\, whose diverse practices include painting\, works on paper\, sculpture\, video\, photography\, performance and conceptual future media installations.

SUMMARY:Michael Rees: Model Behavior
DESCRIPTION:Michael Rees  \nModel Behavior \nSeptember 19th\, 2009 to November 7th\, 2009 \nOpening Reception: Saturday\, September 19th\, 6:00 to 9:00 PM \nArtist’s Talk: Saturday\, September 19th\, 2:00 PM \n  \nDeborah Colton Gallery is pleased to announce the opening of Model Behavior. Model Behavior is an exhibition of Michael’s new work and includes sculpture\, drawings\, animation\, photographs\, and interactive media. The ideas hinge on the word model. The first sense of this word is an ideal\, an aspiration or an inspiration. At the same time to model something is to map it\, make a simulation of it or to emulate it. To model something is to give it form\, to reify it. Models are the first steps in the evolution of a product; they carry the original intent of a thing and lay out the constituent parts. \nAdding the word behavior emphasizes the ideal quality of the endeavor and creates an equivalency that is reiterated in the sculptures. The equivalency refers to the distance between a model (a concept) and a behavior (an action). For Rees this distance is a generative space where works begin to bifurcate formally and semantically. Through iteration and reiteration\, these experiences take form upon the crystalline structure of the sculptures’ material. These options are contained within that material. The options speak to different impulses and layers of a piece\, creating a valence of meanings. There is humor and conflict in this show: some of the works would never be considered an ideal of anything. They are play oriented puzzles\, riddles of stability and instability. Through the process of combining and recombining themes and objects there is at once stasis and fluidity. The act of making these works is like breathing or walking. They are basic\, held close to automatic processes and to liminal space. \nTo mine this mental to physical space and to extract from it potential and even ethical implications of action is to participate in mimetic culture. Making is a process that can be transferred through objects to others though communication. It can open up possibilities\, potentials\, and meanings. It can play in the unwinding of human experience. For Rees\, this takes place through the consonance and dissonance of the works in Model Behavior. \nRees investigates aspects of a language\, body\, and humor dynamic in works that are physical\, virtual\, figurative and abstract. He has exhibited his work throughout Europe and the United States\, both in private and public venues. The institutions Michael Rees is collected by include the Whitney Museum of American Art and the Edelman Foundation in Luzern\, Switzerland. He has won a Creative Capital Grant\, a National Endowment for the Arts Grant\, and a New Jersey Council on the Arts Grant. He is a Media Arts Fellow of the Tribeca Film Institute funded by the Rockefeller Foundation and the Ford Foundation. In June 2009\, He will open large scale work at the Zentrum fur Medien Kunst in Karlsruhe curated by Peter Weibel and will do a project space at the Chelsea Art Museum called Social Object: sculpture and Software. \nDeborah Colton Gallery is founded on being an innovative showcase for ongoing presentation and promotion of strong historical and visionary contemporary artists world-wide\, whose diverse practices include painting\, works on paper\, sculpture\, video\, photography\, performance and conceptual future media installations. The gallery aspires to provide a forum through connecting Texas\, national and international artists to make positive change.

SUMMARY:Maripol: Little Red Riding Hood
DESCRIPTION:Maripol \nLittle Red Riding Hood \n  \nAugust 19\, 2009 through September 12\, 2009 \nPublic Opening Reception: Saturday\, August 22\, from 6:00 to 9:00 pm \n  \nDeborah Colton Gallery is pleased to announce debut of Little Red Riding Hood an exhibition of works by Maripol. The public opening reception will be Saturday\, August 22\, 2009 from 6:00 to 9:00 pm. \nFor the first time\, Maripol will be using diverse media such as canvas\, clothing\, photography\, and paint. This most recent body of work draws influence from her past and her varied career as both an artist and as a fashionista\, a role she developed ever since her childhood. After rummaging through her family albums\, Maripol discovered hidden photographs of her grandmother\, whose own style introduced her to the world of fashion and continues to influence her today. Maripol even shares her middle name with her grandmother’s name\, Mathilde. Maripol has always felt her grandmother’s presence since she passed away and is proud of the similarities found between them. Maripol’s attraction to fashion and jewelry\, which began when stealing her mother’s dresses and high heels\, made her a natural model. Yet\, the myths and legends that she treasured during her childhood in combination with her love of fashion culminated in her success as the winner of a costume contest when she modeled an outfit inspired by Little Red Riding Hood\, the protagonist of the famous children’s folktale. \nWhen she landed in New York\, she was fresh out of art school and unsure of being just an artist. Serendipitously\, she was discovered by a talent scout from the famous Fiorucci house for her skill at transforming industrial objects into wearable sculpture and jewelry. Textures\, fabrics\, and scents were not unfamiliar to the little girl who grew up in Africa\, eager to go to the market and admire the craftsmanship of the locals’ beading\, tapestry\, or goldsmithing. Once in New York\, the city became her new playground and the blueprint of her unconscious exploded. Her designs have permeated the art\, music and fashion of these past three decades. The art pieces presented here represent the tenacity of the innocent little red riding hood thrown into the fast world of the big bad wolves…. \n  \nMaripol’s work as an art director\, designer\, and film producer has influenced popular movements in music\, fashion and art since the early 1980s. She was the founder of Maripolitan Popular Objects Ltd.\, a fashion accessories company which also designed merchandising for Madonna’s “Like a Virgin” tour. She directed the documentary “Crack is Wack” on Keith Haring for French television\, as well as other shorts\, and has directed films by Marcus Nispel\, and Abel Ferrara\, and music videos for Cher\, D’Angelo\, Elton John\, Luther Vandross\, and others. She has produced films including “Downtown 81”\, directed by Edo Bertoglio and written by Glenn O’Brien. Maripol has been exhibited at P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center\, Deitch Projects\, Musee Maillol\, and the Museum of Fine Arts\, Houston. She has been published in The New York Times Magazine\, WWD\, Time Out New York\, ELLE\, i-D\, Numero Japan\, and Rolling Stone Italy. Maripol’s books include Maripolarama (powerHouse Books\, 2005)\, New York Beat: The Making of Downtown 81 (Petit Grand\, 2001) and Mes Polas: 1977-90s (Art Random\, 1990). Maripol’s work is currently in traveling exhibitions around the world in Tokyo\, Hong Kong\, Milan\, Berlin\, Paris\, and London. \n  \nDeborah Colton Gallery is founded on being an innovative showcase for ongoing presentation and promotion of strong historical and visionary contemporary artists world-wide\, whose diverse practices include painting\, works on paper\, sculpture\, video\, photography\, performance and conceptual\, future media installations. The gallery aspires to provide a forum through connecting Texas\, national and international artists to make positive change.

SUMMARY:Lowell Boyers: Emerge
DESCRIPTION:Lowell Boyers \nEmerge \nMay 9\, 2009 through June 27\, 2009 \nOpening Reception: Saturday\, May 9\, from 6:00 to 9:00 pm \n  \nDeborah Colton Gallery is pleased to announce Emerge\, its second solo exhibition of paintings by Lowell Boyers. The artist’s work was first seen at the Deborah Colton Gallery in the 2004 group exhibition Touch and Temperature: Art in the Age of Cybernetic Totalism\, curated by Michael Rees and last seen in his 2006 solo exhibition Awakening.  \n Emerge opens Saturday\, May 9\, 2009 with a reception for the artist from 6:00 to 9:00 pm. \nIn Emerge\, Lowell’s paintings explore the phenomena of the creative imagination\, a field where the spark of the artist’s impulse stems from. His paintings have an energetic nature that pours and seeps into the world we adhere ourselves to in our everyday lives\, portraying the true nature of self as uncontained by the shell of flesh and bone. They offer a passageway that pulls us inward and alters the fabric of everyday reality. Through the sweeping pours of acrylic resins and the dilations of spectral colored inks\, Lowell’s paintings shift how we see the narrative activity and dimensions possible in figure painting. In this series of works\, the secret world of the figures merge with the relative physical world to create an experience of simultaneity. This modern conflation of time and space and perception is rarely\, if ever\, so beautifully realized in contemporary painting. \n  \nLowell says that “The creative impulse can cut through habitual phenomena\, how we see things\, feel things\, our perception of self\, our notion of body\, birth and death\, of appearance”. His creativity has successfully cut through that mundaneness and turned what seems like boundaries into springboards to liberty. Lowell states\, “I see the creative imagination as a birthright belonging to every being\, and my work is fundamentally a textural portrayal of the unfolding blossoming of various stages of awakening to that active nature.” \n  \nDeborah Colton Gallery is founded on being an innovative showcase for ongoing presentation and promotion of strong historical and visionary contemporary artists world-wide\, whose diverse practices include painting\, works on paper\, sculpture\, video\, photography\, performance\, conceptual future media and public space installations. The Gallery aspires to provide a forum through connecting Texas\, national and international artist s to make positive change.

SUMMARY:Molly Gochman: Spring
DESCRIPTION:Molly Gochman \nSpring\nMarch 14 – May 7 2009\nOpening Reception: Saturday\, March 14\, from 6:00 to 9:00 pm\nPerformances: Amy Granat\, Jacob Kassay and Mai Ueda\, Saturday\, March 14\, 9:00pm \nDeborah Colton Gallery is pleased to premier Spring\, a conceptual project by Houston artist Molly Gochman. That same evening New York-based artists Amy Granat\, Jacob Kassay and Mai Ueda will also perform at the gallery. \nSpring focuses on a series of large-scale images derived from Kodachrome slides of Molly Gochman’s mother. Gochman revisits images and memories of her childhood\, exploring the difference between the surviving photographs and her own reminiscences. She looks at the past from today’s perspective and develops a project that is abstract and philosophical while at the same time profoundly personal.  Gochman is fascinated by the concepts of time and change: the stains or cleansing that time imposes on images\, on memory\, and on the human self. She turns her images into extraordinary artworks that also become metaphors of time’s impact on matter. They are monuments to loss\, but also to optimism. The title of the exhibition can be read as a reference to when the original images were taken and when the exhibition takes place. It speaks of the possibility for change and rebirth. \nDuring the opening\, a memory collage will be built with documents provided by those who attend. The collage will be built through the process of scanning and projecting documents kindly brought to the opening by visitors. To participate\, please bring any images or other documents relating to memories in your life that you would like to add to the collage. Photographic images\, texts\, drawings\, found pieces of paper or other very thin objects that measure less than 9″ x 9″ will be the easiest to incorporate. Your document will be returned to you after it has been scanned. \nIn the last five years\, Gochman’s work has been exhibited as far away as the Sara Roney Gallery in Sydney\, Australia\, and in various galleries throughout her home state of Texas\, including Barbara Davis Gallery\, DiverseWorks\, and her own space in Houston\, Commune. In August of 2008\, Gochman inaugurated Deborah Colton Gallery’s new location with the opening of Release: Give-Away III. Last year Gochman had an installation/performance at chashama and took part in the group exhibition ‘Engendered’ at Lincoln Center\, both in New York. \nPerformances by artists Amy Granat and Mai Ueda will pre-feature a group exhibition\, InCoherence\, curated by Liutauras Psibilskis\, that will take place at Deborah Colton Gallery in November – December 2009.  Amy Granat is a filmmaker and multimedia artist who exhibited at such venues as Swiss Institute\, White Columns and PS1; she took part in Whitney Biennale 2008\, Whitney Museum of American Art\, New York. She is a co-founder of Cinema Zero\, a collective that fosters collaborations between artists from different mediums. Mai Ueda is a performance and multimedia artist. She showed at Lyon Biennale 2001\, Lyon\, France\, Palais De Tokyo\, Paris\, PS1\, New York\, Fargfabriken\, Stockholm\, Sweden; she used to be part of Electronic Orphanage in Los Angeles. Molly Gochman will also be an artist featured in InCoherence \nDeborah Colton Gallery is founded on being an innovative showcase for ongoing presentation and promotion of strong historical and visionary contemporary artists world-wide\, whose diverse practices include painting\, works on paper\, sculpture\, video\, photography\, performance\, conceptual future media and public space installations.

SUMMARY:Yang Jin Long: Seasons of Love
DESCRIPTION:Yang Jin Long \nSeasons of Love \n  \nJanuary 24\, 2009 through February 28\, 2009 \nOpening Reception: Saturday\, January 24\, from 6:00 to 9:00 pm \n  \nDeborah Colton Gallery is pleased to present\, Seasons of Love by artist Yang Jin Long. This is Yang’s second solo at the Deborah Colton Gallery\, his first being in 2007. Seasons of Love opens Saturday\, January 24\, 2009 with a reception for the artist 6:00 to 9:00 pm. \n  \nChina began to expand its economic boundaries when Hong Kong was returned from British sovereignty in 1997\, thus fostering widespread technological growth. In turn\, contemporary Chinese art has reflected not just industrial development but the permeation of Western ideology. Yang’s compositions reflect this change by their saturation of symbolic imagery. Influenced by the formal structure in Chinese watercolors and calligraphy early in his academic career\, Yang strived to develop a concept of working that would allow him to explore relationships between the living and the constructed. He laments the loss of traditional culture to the material existence of modern society\, but understands\, and proves in his paintings\, that each can feed the other as a rich source of inspiration. \n  \nYang Jin Long’s work evokes an Eastern spirit but calls upon Western forms wherein he often pairs hypermodern and fabled human figures with the detritus of pop culture iconography in surreal situations that defy immediate logic. One is as likely to find industrial debris of society as one is to observe exquisitely rendered figures in biomorphic\, fluid forms displays as a psychological distortion of environment. His paintings are\, in a sense\, mental tableaux\, documenting and expanding the notion of his experience. \n  \nWhile Yang hails from China\, his themes are undeniably universal. The imagery of the works in Seasons of Love transcends cultures\, breaking apart the mind’s eye into scattered fragments of representation that form a cohesive unit that is neither one civilization’s nor another’s. With a focus on color\, cultural influences eroticism\, and industry\, Yang constructs tangible dreamscapes that blur the lines between the illusory and the genuine that exist in both the human imagination and the human condition. It is Yang’s technical and imaginative skill that allows these pictorial unions to succeed and speak to a broad audience on a more universal and spiritual level. \n  \nSeasons of Love marks an important occasion for Yang as he recently immigrated to the United States and has now been a resident of Houston for two years. Born in Zhenjiang\, China\, in 1960\, Yang has been exhibiting internationally since 1998. After graduating from college in 1985\, Yang accepted the position of Director of the Art Department at Zhenjiang University in his hometown. Yang’s major international solo exhibitions include the prestigious Pacific Cultural Foundation Art Center in Taipei\, Taiwan. He has also received numerous awards in China and has works placed in many prominent collections. He is scheduled for a solo exhibition at The Crow Collection of Asian art in January – April of 2010. \nDeborah Colton Gallery is founded on being an innovative showcase for ongoing presentation and promotion of strong historical and visionary contemporary artists world-wide\, whose diverse practices include painting\, works on paper\, sculpture\, video\, photography\, performance\, conceptual future media and public space installations. The Gallery aspires to provide a forum through connecting Texas\, national and international artist s to make positive change.
