KUNST! KUNST! KUNST! OPENING RECEPTION

‘Kunst!Kunst!Kunst!’ will exhibit recent and new works of large scale painting by Laura Tack, Sessa Englund and Lucia Love, with an opening reception on the 23rd of October. The art on display represents an explorational and investigational response from fresh emerging artists to the medium of painting.   The three artists share an interest in the transformative power of deconstructing and cannibalizing color and form: with works that slip in and out of recognizable configurations to explore the skeletal structure of traditional distinctions between the familiar and the alien, and unsettle the relationship between figurative and abstract; creating stark and bold new forms.    Please join us in bringing together these three strongly individualistic yet joint voices for a weeklong show, exposing the artists work to a larger audience as a collective voice. Join the facebook event here View their tumblr here About the Artists http://www.lauratack.be Laura Tack is a Belgium painter currently residing in Iceland. Recent shows include: The White Rabbit Expo 2014, Zaal 29 Expo, These Things Take Time, Time gallery, Ghent (BE), MIAMI ART BASEL, Select Fair, Miami, Florida, (USA), HABITAT, Franklin Arts Center Resident Artists Gallery, Brainerd, Minnesota, (USA). Her abstract and evocative work has been exhibited NVT Galerie, Ghent (BE) featured in nieuwsbrief BAM, Bushwick Daily, Whitehot Magazine, Artslant and more.     http://sessaenglund.prosite.com Sessa Englund is a Swedish and American artist working in NYC and Gothenburg, Sweden. Recent shows include Second Family, Family Style, 191 Henery St, (NY) BACG pop-UP', 119 Ingraham, (NY), Blazing', Recession Gallery, (NY).

”First responders” Organized by Zach Smith April 5 – 20, 2014 Opening reception: Saturday April 5, 2014 7 – 10 PM featuring: Ariel Dill, Marley Freeman, Deanna Havas, Ben Horns, Katie Loselle, Orion Martin, Sam McKinniss, Kyle Petreycik, and Eric Shaw. Good Work Gallery presents “First Responders,” an exhibition organized by curator Zach Smith that features a dynamic group of works from a selection of contemporary artists working in a range of media. The paintings, sculptures and photographic prints included in the show are united in their individually separate progressions from a universally fundamental state, characterized, as most works are, by the sketch, specifically the gesture. “First Responders” seeks to expand traditional roles of drawing and works on paper as expressions, within studio practice, of that primary urge to draw, articulating contemporary evolutions of a first inchoate response to some obscure desire. “Originally, First Responders was a show of works on paper. I wanted to loosen the general sense of that milieu and see where new artists fit in with it. I looked for near-platonic instances of visceral reaction – artists as trained practitioners, rushing to the scene of abstract crises. The end result would be a collection of outlier-works everyone’s broader practice wouldn’t automatically suggest. My inquiry became all the more intriguing when I couldn’t figure out how any one person might approach this challenge. Do artists truly quit drawing as studio practices branch elsewhere? Is there still a pseudo-scientific impulse for order that never goes away? I figured out ‘gesture’ was the answer. Dumb, easily learned, and looking good in lobbies all over the world, gesture is for me the absolute. It is completely irreducible. It’s best to parse this idea as smart and dumb role-playing each other. Given the quickened pace of contemporary appropriation, lobby art could inspire serious painting. Painting can breathe a sigh of relief. In this endlessly post-minimal landscape, gesture grows evermore optimistic. And really, optimism is the core of what I’m getting at. The elemental is kinetic, not potential. The animate is there before it has something to animate. The same qualities skeptics of a work call vacuous are often what make it most trenchant. Every time artists find another way of transposing mass culture, knee-jerk readings of the work as being flippant remerge. I’m not sure there’s a viable alternative though. The prevalence of boredom, insouciance and spleen as key catalysts for emerging art is well documented. Reflection doesn’t guarantee thorough results. Impulse can be refined, but flashes of the uncanny are rarely if ever reverse engineered. Besides, I can only “engage” with a work once I’ve decided it looks amazing. Maybe that’s just me, being of a pictures generation. Gesture now holds the same semantic function as ‘drawing’ or ‘works on paper’. Whether rigorous or not, It is goofy and good-natured. Ecstatic rapturous newness needn’t pay lip service to history. But it had best show up on time, before everyone else, lest the spirit of a moment flatline and tap out forever.” -Zach Smith Date/ Saturday, April 5th,2014 7 - 10pm Venue/ Good Work Gallery 1100 Broadway, Brooklyn, NY Cost/ Free, Open to the Public

SARA CWYNAR "FLAT DEATH" 4 APRIL 2014 TO 3 MAY 2014 SARA CWYNAR assembles images from objects and found photographs that court feelings of time passing. Using collage and re-photography, she produces composite images that call to mind old magazine advertisements, postcards, or catalogs. Cwynar is interested in dated commercial images; in the failure, with time, of their visual trickery; in the waning of their seductive powers. Her works highlight how the once familiar becomes foreign; how the fetishized object can lose its luster; how glamour can fade. Flat Death combines sculptural constructions that are photographed, printed, tiled, and re-photographed, together with images from darkroom manuals that are decomposed using a scanner. Cwynar’s process is circular; she starts and finishes with a photograph, after a journey of intervention and manipulation that ultimately disrupts the smooth surface and the perspective of the stock image. Like a reel of film frames, a row of prints line two walls, while two large floral still life works hang on adjacent walls. Together, the works impart an uncanny sense of a lost world of images that Cwynar has collected and recalibrated to present as evidence that images never die, they just float somewhere between the traditional realm of the analog and the Internet, or between complex emotional attachments and kitsch. Sara Cwynar (Vancouver, Canada, 1985) lives and works in New York City. She holds a Bachelor of Design from York University, Toronto. Exhibitions include: Rosenwald-Wolf Gallery, The University of the Arts, Philadelphia (solo); Dallas Museum of Art, Dallas; Higher Pictures, New York (all 2014); Foxy Production, New York; Cooper Cole Gallery, Toronto (solo); Foam Photography Museum, Amsterdam (solo)(all 2013); Ed Varie, New York; Talk to Me, Museum of Modern Art, New York (group project) (all 2012); Show & Tell Gallery, Toronto; and Neubacher Shor Contemporary, Toronto (both 2011). She has recently released Kitsch Encyclopedia, a book about the relationship between images and kitsch.
