Blow-Up: five artists at {Poem88}
April 6 to May 25, 2013
opening reception: Saturday, April 6, 7 pm
artist talk: Sat 27 April, 2pm
Taking its name from the classic 1966 Antonioni film, BLOW-UP features the work of five artists: Nikita Gale, In Kyoung Chun, Sharon Shapiro, Ben Steele, and Nancy VanDevender. Each artist explores aspects of cinematic language or storytelling, but more specific to the film, each explores the ever-present void and non-resolution. Both physically and psychologically, meaning is subverted and questioned: the blow-up does not yield clarity and the protagonist remains aimless. In paintings, drawings, installation and text-based works, this existential question is addressed.
