FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Material For The Making
Mai Braun, Kori Newkirk, Gail Thacker, Kerry Tribe
January 6 - February 10, 2007
Elizabeth Dee Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition
of work by Mai Braun, Kori Newkirk, Gail Thacker, and Kerry
Tribe organized by Jenny Moore, the gallery’s newly appointed
Director. The exhibition will open Saturday, January 6th
with a reception for the artists from 6-8pm.
Material for the Making brings together a selection of works
that employ singular materials and medium specific devices
for investigations into form, the translation of memory,
and the reinterpretation of images and events. A commitment
to materiality and an emphasis on tactility pervades much
of the work presented in the front room of the gallery, while
the back room is devoted to a filmic exploration of the seemingly
inherent futility in objectively depicting one’s subjective
reality. Gathered together, these works resist definitive
statements about past or present and operate in an open-ended
dialogue inflected with contingency and catalyst.
