Greetings!
The Butcher's Daughter is proud to present "No
Vacancy" curated by Valaire Van Slyck. Opening January 9, 2010, this group
exhibition features over twenty world-renown emergent and mid-career contemporary
artists from around the country.
The opening reception is Saturday, January 9th
from 6 - 9:00 PM
Guy Overfelt, Burnout, 2009
From the curatorial statement by Valaire Van Slyck,
"The
exhibition "No Vacancy" explores the impulse that gives rise to art
and artists' attempts to reconcile their dissatisfaction with the world around
them. The results of these efforts physically change the world, reordering it
and creating points of dynamism in the environment. These points, infused
with ideas and attitude, lead to a deeper consideration of thought and
experience.
By
bringing together many artists in a small gallery, we create a whole greater
than the sum of its parts and establish a space of hyper-dynamism, a
community with a multitude of perspectives. In turn, this show offers
alternatives to the prevailing modes of relating to the world around us - a
cacophony of possibility and hope. There is no vacancy in art." |
Featured artists include Michael Anderson, Sam Bassett, Michael Bevilacqua, Erik den Breejen, Brock Enright, Jack Featherly,
Jonah Freeman, Kate Gilmore, Andrew Guenther, Kent Henricksen, Sissel Kardel,
Nicola Kuperus, Justin Lowe, Shannon Lucy, Guy Overfelt, Tyson Reeder, Zak Smith,
Michael St. John, Johannes Vanderbeek, Wendy White and Sherry Wong.
