pump project Austin, TX Room 217

Pump Project is a non profit artist run gallery and studio complex in east Austin focused on providing resources to contemporary artists. The converted warehouse has had a significant impact on the growing Austin art scene over the last ten years, providing more than 30 subsidized artist’s spaces and taking part in an increasingly relevant contemporary art discourse within the broader community through an exhibition program focused on experimental work. In doing so, Pump Project is widely recognized as one of the pillars of the Austin art community, and a safe haven for artists and artworks whose resonances can be undervalued by the at times conservative commercial interests of more profit inclined sector of visual art in Austin.

pump project will present an installation featuring works by Elizabeth McDonald and Frank Wick. Frank Wick is a prolific painter and sculptor producing huge volumes of faux­naive paintings atop pages sliced from magazines or liberated from online publications. These works act within the realm of consumer culture, but against conservative notions of beauty and visual harmony. Elizabeth Mcdonald is an artist recognized for her extensive research­based exhibitions incorporating painting, sculpture, and alternative media. Her practice largely explores ritual, specifically the unacknowledged rituals that nonetheless pervade daily life and organize otherwise unruly impulse and desire.
