SUMMARY:Opening Reception: Functional Misrepresentations
DESCRIPTION:Functional Misrepresentations\nOctober 8\, 2022 – February 5\, 2023\nInLiquid at Park Towne Place\n2200 Benjamin Franklin Parkway\nPhiladelphia\, PA 19130 \nPlease join us on October 19th from 6:00 – 8:00 PM at Park Towne Place for an opening reception in the North\, West\, and South tower galleries. \nThe reception will begin in the North Tower\, and then move to the West Tower\, and then to the South Tower. Each tower will offer an opportunity to hear short remarks from the included artist or curator\, and a chance to mingle. Refreshments and hors d’oeuvres will be served. \nWe look forward to seeing you at this next installment of art at Park Towne Place! \nRSVP required \nFunctional Misrepresentations highlights six artists whose work uses the shared language of objects to discuss how they can act as vectors of memory; both personal and societal. The included artists\, Leila Cartier\, Randall Cleaver\, Billy Colbert\, Christina P. Day\, Han Wang\, and Mallory Weston show how objects can hold onto memories and be reconstructed to tell mythical tales of what was\, and what could have been. \nChristina P. Day mines the memories of interior places through her linoleum collage series. Using salvaged linoleum flooring\, Day painstakingly cuts out the patterns\, layering and manipulating them as a way of honoring and preserving them. Also using salvaged materials\, Randall Cleaver’s assemblages utilize components that span his lifetime- an old tractor light from a yard sale in Maryland\, a children’s bicycle rescued from the trash\, and bottle caps collected over forty years\, all nod to the memories of fleeting moments and places. \nHan Wang’s Across the Ocean Project weaves together the memory of culturally significant foods\, forms\, and patterns with more darkly complex reverberations of cultural appropriation. The blue patterns\, caught between the authentic and Delftware reinterpretations\, are undeniably beautiful as they revel in their hybridity. Also hybridizing cultures is Billy Colbert\, in his work he combines a love of skateboarding in his American youth with the (often) unsung contributors of our human culture. \nBut what of worlds imagined\, mythical\, and fantastical? The unusual references Mallory Weston makes with her jewelry- a threatening snake\, an oozing wound\, a barbed cacti- offer an opportunity for escapism. They allow the wearer to amass and adorn themselves with the tokens that best represent their internal worlds on any given day. Also focusing on escapism through jewelry is Leila Cartier whose large scale collages made up of hand-cut images of jewelry from magazines give us a glimpse into a beauty that obscures hidden dangers\, excess\, and the disparity between expectations and reality. \nObjects we encounter can lose their meaning\, becoming merely another thread in our daily tapestries. But in the hands of the artists of Functional Misrepresentations\, once familiar objects are elevated to take on new meanings that challenge us to consider the ways in which we take what seems to be true for granted.

SUMMARY:Beauty of Stillness
DESCRIPTION:Beauty of Stillness\nat the InLiquid Gallery\n1400  American Street\nPhiladelphia PA 19122 \nCrispness is in the air. A modest destabilization. Your jacket crossed tight to guard against a chilly wind. A confusion. Ennui. Loneliness. Autumn\, though full of decay\, has a marked beauty\, like a poem written in longing. Like the season of fall itself\, the four artists of The Beauty of Stillness conjure tender reflective moments that are marked by pangs of uncertainty\, yearning\,  and beauty. \nIn his work\, Geoffrey Ansel Agrons memorializes scenes that are haunting and lonely\, devoid of any recent mark of civilization. These are fleeting sites. Soon after Argons leaves\, they vanish: the wind changes the shape of the snow bank\, a scavenger carries off a carcass for a meal. The “melancholigraphs\,” as he terms them\, are all that remain to remember the moment by. \nAlso capturing nature through photography is Daria Panichas. Unlike Agrons\, Panichas’ photographs are unrecognizable subjects in unrecognizable moments. Panichas shoots from non-traditional angles\, from uncomfortably close\, and cropped beyond recognizability. Her stark backgrounds recall chiaroscuro paintings and nod to the long history of memento mori. Simultaneously familiar and unsettlingly foreign\, Panichas’ subjects highlight the nature that we are removed from\, twisting it until only its beauty is recognizable. \nConstance McBride alters nature and brings it into the gallery space to confront us with the reality that we as humans are removed from the natural world. Nature’s detritus\, fallen limbs\, shells of animals\, and bones\, are coated in white ceramic slip making them white and\, pure\, and suitable for a pristine\, traditional gallery view. \nSimilar to McBrides’ desaturation\, Richard Hricko’s practice alters nature to encourage us to better see its beauty. Hricko collects items that he sees in his daily life like weeds and litter from an abandoned lot across the street from his studio. He weaves these things together to create a tableau\, which he then photographs and uses as the bases for his printmaking. \nAll these artists carefully balance the natural and artificial\, the spontaneous and the curated.
