FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Kevin Landers: Main Gallery
Carl Ostendarp: Gallery 2
January 11-February 22, 2003
Elizabeth Dee is pleased to announce exhibitions by Kevin Landers and Carl Ostendarp in the gallery at 545 West 20th Street.
Kevin Landers presents new photographs and sculptures in the main gallery. In gallery 2, fifteen gouaches on paper represent
the last fifteen years of Carl Ostendarp's work. There will be an opening reception for both artists on Saturday, January 11,
from 6 to 8 pm.
In his sixth solo exhibition in New York, Kevin Landers pictures
the urban vernacular with a unique and uncanny sensibility.
His photographic work seeks out the spontaneous banality
of the street and its ephemera, chiefly around his home in
New York's East Village. Landers's documentation of everyday
objects furthers the tradition of street photography while
lending it a wry poetry and edgy humor. A metal grate clogged
with cigarette butts, candy wrappers, and other, less identifiable
detritus contrasts the chaos of trash with the failed order
of the grid that frames it.
