Press Release
Sikkema Jenkins & Co. is pleased to announce the group
exhibition "A Word Like Tomorrow Wears Things Out" featuring
work by Kelly Barrie, Glen Fogel, Mariah Robertson, and David
Benjamin Sherry.
Kelly Barrie will present works from his series entitled
“Between the Blinds”. Using photo luminescent pigments
manipulated with his feet, Barrie creates a large scale drawings
based on found images of subjects that no longer exist in there
original place or form. The drawings are then photographed in
sections over the period of a number of days and weeks,
resulting in over 100 images which are stitched back together
with the use of a computer. Each photograph retains a slight
color cast which is dependent on the time of day it was taken
and the angle or incidence of light. These color shifts, seen in
the final piece, represent a temporal register for the duration of
the work.
Glen Fogel will be exhibiting two recently completed works, a
video installation titled Art from Kansas City, and a sound and
light piece titled Glen from Colorado. Conceived of as
companion pieces, the two works function as distinct yet
related portraits of the artist: one is mapped onto a pre-existing
politically charged memoir, and the other from the artist’s
personal archive. Both works conflate minimal forms with
emotionally, psychologically and politically charged material,
and explore the complexities of identity-formation.
Mariah Robertson’s unique photographs are the result of a
variety of darkroom techniques and the chance incidences that
happen during their processing. The resulting images are a
chaotic mix of representation and abstraction.
David Benjamin Sherry will present variously colored
monochromatic photographs displayed in an installation format.
The works spans most fields of photographic work: landscapes,
still lives, portraits, abstractions, camera-less photographs and
self-portraits. Sherry’s practice is based in traditional color
photography using pre-digital darkroom techniques to create “a
world based from my own experiences and transforming [the
photographs] into a more fantastical, magical, new and exciting
visual atmosphere that transcends reality and challenges
thoughts on existence, spirituality and my intimate relationship
with nature.”
